"What is reverse buffering?" The Knight asked.

"I don't know either, maybe we have to use it to find out." Erwin shrugged.

Jones provided a knight with very comprehensive equipment. In addition to the standard armor, horse armor, horse gear, longsword, dagger, shield, and lance, there was also a crossbow and fifteen crossbow arrows. You could even say that the armor was actually two sets. Besides a set of heavy armor for battlefield use, there was also a set of soft armor that could be worn under regular clothing, including wrist guards, shoulder guards, and leg guards. There's a pile of various accessories, all engraved with runes.

You could say that he almost considered everything that a knight might normally carry on them, and he introduced a magic version of it all.

To be honest, with so many items, without a good horse, it really wouldn't be possible to carry them all.

Checking things off along the way, the Knight couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"What's this?"

The Knight pointed to a rectangular white metal box about 1.6 meters long.

"The instructions call it the 'Latitude Sword'."

"Latitude Sword? What a strange name. Can we open it and take a look?"

"No, it can only be opened when in use, and the instructions specifically note 'dangerous, not recommended for inexperienced users to use directly on the battlefield to avoid friendly fire.'"

"Sounds impressive."

In the warehouse, George, the Knight, and Erwin exchanged a silent glance.

...

"Do you guys want to experiment with the Latitude Sword?"

"Yes."

"Only want to experiment with that? Not considering testing all the other equipment?"

"Of course, we want to, but wouldn't that be too wasteful?"

"The equipment is meant to be used. If you aren't even allowed to experiment, how can you expect to use it well on the battlefield?" Simon chuckled and then said: "It's okay, go ahead and use it. I'll help you replace the magic stones if needed, and if there aren't enough magic stones, I'll ask Jones for more. He'll give them to you."

"Thanks! So, may I ask if there's a trick to using the 'Latitude Sword'? The instructions mention it's quite dangerous."

"I don't know, I didn't make these things. You can try it yourself."

"Alright, thank you." Erwin gave a serious bow, then turned and left Simon's room.

Turning back, Simon continued to stare motionlessly out the window.

The gentle sunlight spilled in front of the window, outside was the sound of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.

A skeleton softly sighed: "Is this the beauty of leisure? Haha, life, or rather, the life of a demon, does indeed have many unremarkable moments that still require careful savoring."

A cup of steaming tea was still sitting on the table.

Of course, he surely couldn't drink it, so he just replaced it with a new cup once it got cold.

...

A man of action, Erwin quickly found a deserted place outside the city and began preparing for the experiment.

He was accompanied by George and the Knight.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Latitude Sword is the core of the entire knight's armor. The big move is in here."

"Big move?"

"Of course, haven't you read knight novels or watched knight dramas? The protagonist usually has a special move, shouting out its name at a critical moment to achieve victory. I just don't understand that if shouting the name could lead to victory, why not shout it at the beginning?"

"Well... you do have to say incantations to activate runes, definitely have to shout." George thought for a moment and could only reply: "If this really is a big move, then we can start shouting right away in the future."

Because the instructions specifically mentioned "danger" and "risk of friendly fire," Erwin wore the knight's armor and stood in the middle of an empty space, while the Knight and George stepped back seventy meters.

Why seventy meters?

Because the knight's sword has a maximum range of thirty-five meters, so they doubled it to get a safe distance of seventy meters.

...

The wind gently blew, and the grass underfoot swayed in waves in the wind.

Erwin, carrying the Latitude Sword on his back, faced three scarecrows set up ahead, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

From a distance, both George and the Knight simultaneously held their breath, eyes wide open.

"Latitude Sword, unsheath!" Erwin suddenly opened his eyes.

In the next moment, he could feel the case of the Latitude Sword on his back trembling violently and then bursting with a series of ear-piercing sounds as it cut through the air.

Then, nothing happened.

He turned around, but there was nothing behind him.

Looking ahead, the three scarecrows remained perfectly intact.

"Eh?" Tilting his face, he was just about to say something to George and the Knight in the distance when he suddenly noticed George's mouth gaping open in shock, while the Knight was frantically pointing above his head.

Looking up, Erwin was also stunned. Because he saw no less than twenty various weapons rotating above his head!

Yes, twenty, to be precise, five shields and fifteen longswords without handles.

Standing dazedly under the swirling weapons, Erwin, for a moment, panicked, unsure of what to do.

In the distance, George shouted to Erwin: "I heard Giant Snake City demonstrated mind-controlled weapons before! It might be these! Try it! Use your mind!"

"What mind!"

"Just imagine! Imagine they are a part of your body, imagine ordering them to do something you want to do!"

Looking down, Erwin saw that the magic stone on the back of his handguard had turned from its original white to red, incredibly hot. He could clearly feel it even through the armor.
