Chapter 323: CH.319 To the Capital

Our trip towards the capital of course started from Burch city, as we picked up Mariina and her crew from there. From my group, Lua, Alice and Ria were here, while the rest stayed on HomeBase. I was moving towards the capital as well, just so it would be closer to where I likely will be. And speaking of HomeBase moving. Because of its size, there was no way I could move HomeBase too quickly, so its flight speed was very low, only around 100 km/h. Well, I guess that isn’t that slow, but compared to the Mach 0.82 to Mach 0.90 speeds the B.E.S. monsters travel at, or the mach 20 speeds both Gradius and Victory Viper have, going only 100 km/h is extremely slow. I mean, it is literally like comparing a car to a plane or a rocket.

As for why HomeBase can’t travel faster than that. Well, as I said, it was because of the size. HomeBase displaces a lot of air as it moves, so it causes some turbulent air. And if it moves quickly, that turbulent air could turn into a tornado or something like that. Some of the barriers did reduce it a bit, but even they couldn’t prevent it completely, so until new spells are developed that can prevent the turbulence, HomeBase has to move at a reasonable speed.

 

But HomeBase doesn’t matter at this moment, B.E.S. Big Core MK-3 does, as it will be the one we ride today.
