Flight

(Scholar1)"We realized using Rohn method of an engine would forever put us behind them in flight, so we moved to more radical solutions. The method of flight we developed is not as fast as he described but it is capable of flying already, we believe with perfection we can equal them."

Issac Zotts was listening intently, he was looking at the wooden model the had made. It was in a long corridor they built on one end, it was wood with dirty scirbles on it.

(Scholar2)"The magic circle once activated, will push it upward with wind. The control of it we made it by the wings, using string and pulleys. Please observe"

It pushed forward slowly and it gradually took flight, and flew to the end of the hallway. It hit the wall but they didn't mind, instead turning to Issac with expectation.

(Scholar1)"We would like to expand out of the test room, and have a outdoors test area."

He thought it over, if it worked they would have a new market. If it failed and someone else saw their ideas, they would copy them. But they wouldn't grow without it, so he approved it.

(Issac)"I want a single working plane by the end of the month. If you can do that I will double to budget you have for research into flight, I will also build the first airport."

He wanted the airport himself, but he knew it was always better to have people want what you want too. That way they can do the heavy lifting of making it reality, while he can enjoy the power it comes with.

He wanted to build the cell phone, but Rohn didn't know how to build one. He did show him his devices that he preserved, he let Rohn keep them but he felt like they should be researched by his best men. According to Rohn there was nothing to repair it if got damaged so he didn't want them to do it, so he respected his stance on it but still the desire remained.

He was walking out of the area with the head of knights when he made up his mind, he would take more risk in this new direction.

(Issac)"We should mount an expedition to that town he mentioned, send off with 100 knights to it. Gather willing talents, and any rare items like the devices Rohn owns."

(Head Knight)"What methods can we employ to gather the items."

The head knight was also in agreement, they must race to this town and get there before anyone else.

(Issac)"Don't use force, establish a form of contacts for us with their local leaders if they prove interesting. Don't anger the Monroe family, they are the defacto rulers of that godless land."

(Head Knight)"Very well, when do we set off?"

(Issac)"As soon as possible, bring the latest guns and cannons with you. If they truly are from the same nation as Rohn they will recognize our power, and will not resist us."

Only people who had knowledge of guns would fear them, that was his held belief after seeing people who never used one before reacted. It would both test the people and Rohn's word on them, his knights were already trained in every weapon they made. The Zotts family never wanted quantity, they wanted quality in their knights so they had an elite smaller size team.

In total numbering around 2,000 they were usually used to police their city, hold territory or protecting important areas or people. But they also had a more feared role, they were hired mercenaries, nations would hire them to turn the battles in their favor being highly trained elites. The rest of the nations used many conscripts during wars, and elite knights that were hard to replace.
