      @@KaasSchaaf666 starship troopers is in my opinion, required reading for all Marines. But yes, it's good. I also listened to an audio book a few years ago that was VERY good, although the name escapes me. Think enders game, plus star ship troopers only without ftl type star travel. The ships used hydrogen fission, and were designed such that the fuel tanks were in the front of the ship, and shaped like huge domes or mushroomheads. The thought process is that they would accelerate to near light speed, and the fuel tanks would absorb any space dust impacts, and radiation, then they would do the expanse flip, and spend the other half of the trip decelerating. Good trilogy. 1st and 2nd books were great. 3rd book was kinda meh, but it did conclude the story well.

      I do like how human Milkades is in private with those he trusts and how he has an uncle vibe when talking about Clara. It's smart that Milkades tells Wyatt that the thing Clara needs most is a true friend to her and not following her orders without thinking about them.
      It was a smart move on Milkades giving Wyatt hand canon pistols that he can expertly protect Clara and himself. Especially considering how accident prone Wyatt is with melee weapons 😂! If I didn't know better, I would say Wyatt has been cursed to be unable to use melee weapons!

      I suppose with them (the royal marines) being raised for the primary (or even sole) purpose of protecting the Astors they would develop a common bond, bordering on familial, with each other. It also makes sense that they would consider protecting an Astor to be a very important character trait. Almost to the point that it becomes the only measure of a persons worth. So then any other characteristic that is detrimental to that end they would purge from their own personalities. However, I doubt they would purge the benign ones because those may prove to be beneficial in future straits.

    Haven't finished this part yet, but from what I've read the thing with Cynthia is that along with liking Wyatt, she feels she owes him a debt that she can't really repay. At least twice now Wyatt has saved Clara in situations where all of Cynthia's skill and strength were mostly useless. First with the garbage scow and then when he was given command of the Noirnavio by Cynthia.

    Read this Chapter a few hours earlier and just had an additional thought about Milkades gift.
    Not only is it a sign of appreciation from Milkades and the Royal Marines but this gift will enable Wyatt to better protect Princess Clara and also himself.
    Also more background that Cynthia is an even more formidable bodyguard but a potential weakness of a rigid mindset that could be momentarily distracted and exploited.
    Anticipating a future multi-pronged assault to assassinate or neutralise Princess Clara when Wyatt and this gift will play a significant role.

    @Hiddenhider2 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    Excellent story, we are learning so much. Cynthia’s strength was on display when she jumped from the balcony while carrying Clara, I assumed it was because of her armor. Her sword was also used by the Prince to knight Wyatt so he’s got to be incredibly augmented also.
    The interaction with Milkades was nice, I’m not surprised that Wyatt didn’t offer him a lachoa, as that is what most people would do. . It brings to light the point that Wyatt would put up with hunger by not asking for more food as there was probably never extra to be had, his deep reluctance to make friends and the gap between what is acceptable between commoners and nobles.
    If you’ll excuse me I’m going to go restart the story to get me through the next week 😂

    I get the feeling a lot of Clara's closest friends are setting Wyatt up as her man, not just as her friend. Could get fun.
    The portrayal of Milkades was very good, and something tells me he knows the real story of who commanded the Noirnavio in the ship to ship battle, despite being on the damaged frigate. The appreciation they showed was deeply touching.
    Now the question, why did Clara summon him urgently?
    And about Cynthia's sword... No. It's not just weight, it's mass and inertia. Even with skillful redirection of force (which is a thing), I have to remember this is science fiction, where all things are possible.

  • @davidorf3921
    @davidorf3921 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    OK so having listened to this somewhat more than twice already I am fascinated by the different styles of Cynthia and Milkadies. With Cynthia everything is very rigid and defined, both in her attitudes and her way of training, she can see Wyatt is not getting along with her training methods so her answer is to just try harder, on the other hand Milkadies assessed Wyatts shooting skills and decides that Wyatt can't use a shotgun worth a damn but is very good with pistols (unusually good perhaps ?) deciding that although Wyatt is probably even better with a rifle as a noble and a naval officer it's going to draw a lot less comment if he is armed with pistols rather than a long arm.
    We can probably assume that Wyatt will on more than one occasion have to shuttle Royal Marine combat squads, as such the Royal Marines are likely to treat him as one of their own, combined with the fact that both the Prince and Princess are treating him as both someone to be trusted and a good friend and Milkadies actions make a lot of sense.
    Wyatt should probably consider Improvise, Adapt and Overcome as his motto, it would be appropriate LOL and I love how Milkadies tells him, you are not Cynthia you don't have to fight by her rules, if you look at the old renaissance treatise on Sword Fighting there are many different styles of fighting and weapons to fight with in close combat, Wyatt simply needs to find something that suits him, for formal duels he probably has to use a sword but maybe he can use a pair of short swords or a sword and dagger or sword and buckler or ... well there are a lot of variations, given his apparent mastery of two pistols however there's a strong suggestion that he is Ambi Dexterous and he has very quick reactions and instincts which he needs to take advantage of

    For anyone wondering. The swords they're using, 3kg, that's about the same weight as everyone's favorite long boi, a zweihander.

      @USMC0311CplJackson 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      I suspect that Cynthia's sword is so much heavier is by design. Both in its material used and also in its practical application. Force = Mass x Acceleration. Just imagine the amount of force Cynthia applies to her strikes knowing its mass, and imagining the Acceleration of her strikes. I would also imagine Cynthia herself to be particularly heavy herself with her gene mods, and synthetics. Add to that a plasma edge on the sword itself, and she could likely cut open ship bulkheads. I'd imagine very little could withstand a pull strength blow from her sword. Even a sword duel, blade strike to blade strike, there would have to be some sort of other effect in play for her sword not to just cleave through the opposing blade. Maybe same charge repellent counteracting some if not all of the force?

    Poor Wyatt is trying to learn how to use power/plasma sword but is totally useless at it😅. Poor Wyatt is cursed to be unable to use swords. I do like how EkhidnaWritez gives us a detailed look at Cynthia's sword. It's hilarious how Wyatt reacts to how ridiculous heavy Cynthia plasma sword , it being 18kg. 😂
    I do like how Cynthia is coy with with Wyatt question why she is training him. That she is training him to be a bodyguard for Clara but that's just part of it. 😊 No surprise that Wyatt is uncomfortable how he's adressed as my lord.
    Nice surprise EkhidnaWritez with giving Wyatt a scare 😱 a Royal Marine in his room. Nice seeing Wyatt and Milkades having 1 on 1 chat to get to know each other, especially Milkades without his helmet on. Interesting seeing how Milkades makes sure Wyatt eats properly with his new enhancements. I do like how Milkades says it's good thing Cynthia didn't notice Wyatt's been hungry for days, because she would mother him lol😂! Nice seeing that Milkades can be cheerful person in private.
    I do like how Milkades says Cynthia in many ways is good teach teacher but not per say go teacher for Wyatt since she very ridge person and Wyatt is an out of the box thinker which is the opposite of Cynthia.
    I do like Milkades say Clara needs most from Wyatt is not another guardian of hers but a friend. I do like how Milkades is like uncle to Clara and cares deeply for Clara's mental state. I do like how Milkades says to combat Cynthia is to be out of the box 📦 thinking.
    It totally makes sense that Milkades gives Wyatt 2 personal pistols, which are top of the line for his strength. I do like these guns are a gift 🎁 from the Royal Marines to him for his actions as the person commanding the Noirnavio at Woodshaft killing/crippling 2 Drazin ships and insured an Astor's survival. 😊

I believe that has something to do with the selection of a pistol. Plus, pistols have their own meaning, they are often times symbols unto themselves. A physical representation of station and authority. Its very.... steeped in traditional value.

    This entire series remind me a lot of The Lost Fleet in the best of ways. There we have plenty of politics and clashes of factions struggling for power, and here we have somewhat similar mix of personal struggles, though a lot of it on a much more personal level and with a feudal twist to it.

    After listening to the story many times, I noted a plot, within plot, within plot being developed. Plans are being made for Wyatt that he is completely unaware and his own personal loyalty, A lack of personal ambitions. Outside powers are going to be guiding Wyatt to a more powerful position.
    At some time Wyatt is going to combine a bug with the power bar and Wyatt will discover the power bars are not yucky to eat, but have a more pleasant flavor. I see Wyatt standing in front of a group of Royal Marine's with the jar of chewy bugs. A very big shipment of these insects were given to Wyatt at the Wood shaft station in the past stories. I can see this group of Marine's skeptical at first bite, but as they chew, A flavorful taste occurs as they chump on the ration bar and instead of a dreadful after taste from the bar, a savory flavor remains in the mouth. I see Wyatt developing a company that uses the bugs from his home world mixed into a new type of supplement bar to be used by Royal Marine units.
