After a day of team building, the Druchi dignitaries were very tired.
But being tired does not mean that he needs to sleep. Night is when Druch is most energetic, and the night is filled with connections, plots, parties, and enjoyment.
Only the exhausted Chupa Coco was fast asleep.
The tent where Maranur was located was brightly lit, and low-level dignitaries and family members were constantly coming in and out. Although he was also very tired, as his brother's foreign agent, he could only bite the bullet and receive him. He sat there and drank. After a glass of wine, he yawned and smiled bitterly at Cowell, who was standing at the tent in charge of summons. Cowell, who looked numb, nodded, and then summoned again.
The Drukhi dignitaries came to Maranur with gifts and various purposes. They just wanted to be their lackeys. A start-up as big as Kauchen Plains needed manpower. They wanted to seek positions. They wanted to seek cooperation in Kauchen Plains. There are those who want a piece of the pie, and there are those who want to introduce unmarried women in the family to Walter. Although the political situation in Naggaroth is still unclear, they all know that the Witch King's Hand faction, endorsed by His Majesty the Witch King, has entered a period of strength. Following the Witch King's Hand, Walter and Dorian have transformed into The previously unknown Takaia family has now become famous, as well as the children of Draka, the night governor of Hagrid Grave, etc...
Maranur is already versatile and good at these things. After being baptized by Naggarond, he became even better at it. He knew how to deal with these powerful people and perform his duties well.
The tent on the other side was also brightly lit, Malekith was still sitting there, and Coran was still standing behind Malekith holding the scarlet halberd. Darkus was still sitting there, but this time there was a person sitting opposite him, Malekith's intelligence commander Aegirese. The other admirals sat down one after another, and even the trainee admirals also sat in their seats. superior.
Darkus closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose as he listened to Egerese's report. The matter revolves around one point. In the second half of yesterday night, the plundering ship silently monitoring the sea south of Chapeiuto discovered an Azul Falcon ship approaching quietly. After the Falcon ship turned around and left, the sorceress on the plundering ship was He reported the matter to Chapeiuto.
"Everyone has been fighting on the sea for many years and has rich experience and knowledge. Now tell me everything you know. Don't repeat anything. My uncle starts with you." Darkus nodded after listening to the report. He said, then opened his eyes and said to Aijirese who was sitting opposite, "You make the final summary!"
Originally Aijirese would not show up, but what happened this time was quite special.
At first, Darkus thought that when he came to Cawchen Plain, he would maintain a state of incompatibility with the Twilight Fortress in the south, but it turned out that he thought too much. The Assur cousins in the south knew that he was coming. Knowing that he was coming, he had to prepare a corresponding strategy, either fight now, or fight now, or something else, instead of pretending not to know anything and let the future travel between Nagaroth and Lustria If there is a problem with the route, or there is a problem with Kauchen Plain, we will solve it later.
Trident bearer!
Dulias made a harsh statement when he came up. The most elite force in the Twilight Fortress is a group of one hundred and twenty nobles, known as the "Trident Bearers". They wear sleeveless Ysrama silver armor and fight with a one-meter-five-meter-long trident. Although this weapon is very short as a spear, it is suitable for underwater combat and has strong armor-breaking capabilities.
Although most Assur colonists are aware of the existence of this force, few know exactly what they are doing.
These trident bearers are responsible for performing the most dangerous tasks, such as searching shipwrecks in the deep sea, fighting sea monsters, boarding the Black Ark, etc. Many of their actions can be aided by magic, such as deep sea breathing spells or invisibility spells.
Darkus nodded. The information his uncle told was very useful. Trident holders were equivalent to elite soldiers belonging to the Twilight Fortress. It is estimated that the only ones among Druchi who can compete with him are the most elite pirates under these admirals.
perhaps? Can?
As for the Storm Weaver Order, there are still eight poles left, except for the training team, which has barely been set up, and Kalien, who is good at flying, is temporarily in charge.
The weaving and military types of Asur and Druch are also different. They are extremely complex. There are levy soldiers, standing soldiers and noble soldiers, as well as some special elite soldiers and special soldiers.
Moreover, it is constantly changing and iterating over time, so it cannot be viewed with rigid and dogmatic thinking.
(Personal understanding only, picture one)
Let’s not talk about the levy system formulated by the previous generation Phoenix King "Reckless" Moville. Let’s start with the noble soldiers of the ten kingdoms of Ulthuan. The normal noble soldiers are Silver-helmeted knights and a small number of mages.
The Silver Helmet Knight is an ideal model of grace and bravery, proud but not arrogant, brave but not reckless, and is also the target of many young Assur nobles to imitate. Silverhelm knights are only recruited from families with noble blood. Although such conscription was not compulsory, few among the noble class would rather suffer the disgrace of shirking their duties. In addition, becoming a Knight of the Silver Helm is also the best way for a noble to prove that he is qualified as a warrior and leader.
The target of the Druchi against the Silver Helmet Knights is the Cold Lizard Dread Knights, who are also composed of powerful children.
Things are often said to be so, but in reality there are still changes. For example, in the Kingdom of Caledor, there are no silver-helmeted knights. There are only dragon princes who ride donkeys or dragons. The colors and shapes of the armor they wear are all derived from their lives. The dragon of the kingdom, the vest of the war horse is also decorated in the shape of a dragon, as if he is riding a dragon instead of a donkey.
Green, blue, and red are all common colors used by dragon princes, because golden dragons are very rare. Those dragon princes wearing golden armor represent the strongest warriors in the Caledor army.
The most famous is that the Dragon Prince's troops have the title of "Flame Knights", also known as the Imric Knights. They are composed of the strongest Dragon Princes wearing golden armor. Their shields are engraved with the name of Indragnir. Insignia, Indrognir is the dragon ridden by the first Phoenix King Aenarion, an honor awarded by the predecessor of the unit after slaying an archdemon of Khorne and repelling a legion of Khorne.
As for the "Dragon Spine Prince"...it hasn't come yet. It was reorganized by the current Imric during the Elf Civil War in the End of Time.
There are very few silver-helmeted knights among the nobles of the Tyranlok Kingdom in the northwest of the Kingdom of Caledor. The nobles usually drive Ysrama silver chariots to fight, both near and far.
In the eyes of the nobles of the Tyranlok Kingdom, becoming a Silver Helmet Knight is a sign of family decline. This means that the noble's family can no longer afford to pay for their chariots.
But there is always a catch in everything. There is a team of silver-helmeted knights with strong combat effectiveness in the Kingdom of Tyranloc, who are dubbed the "Twilight Knights".
To talk about the Twilight Knight, you have to look back at history. Malekith failed to explode the Maelstrom, and the Kingdom of Nagaryth was shattered. The Kingdom of Tyranrok, which is also close to the Kingdom of Nagaryth, also suffered losses, and a large amount of territory was destroyed. It was destroyed by the explosion, and the originally prosperous kingdom became dilapidated. But a city on the west coast has survived. The land there has been eroded by waves over time and gradually become desolate. The only remaining noble family is still struggling to support it. The Dusk Knight comes from this family and is composed of brothers and sisters. The purpose is to prevent other cities from suffering the suffering of their city.
After talking about the Kingdom of Tyranloc, let’s talk about the Kingdom of Nagaryth in the north. The most famous soldier in the Kingdom of Nagaryth is the Shadow Warrior, which is an elite soldier and a special soldier. The leader and family talker is the Shadow Walker, but the Naga There are also Silver Helmet Knights in the Kingdom of Rath...
After Malekith went to Nagaros during the Great Schism, the Silver Helmet Knights of the Kingdom of Nagaryth no longer relied on their own families because they realized that only their own strength could win over other compatriots. objective evaluation, so he replaced his original family name with the name of a warrior. Their armor and shields are decorated in raven black, midnight blue or blood red, obscuring their original bloodline and family markings.
But having said that, the most famous shadow warriors in the Kingdom of Nagareth also have nobles, and most of them are nobles. This involves historical reasons. Most of the ancestors of these shadow walkers did not associate with Malekith. , the so-called loyalists.
The Kingdom of Charis in the northernmost part of Ulthuan's outer ring is a bit special. The noble soldiers are either White Lion Guards or White Lion Chariots, because the Kingdom of Charis is a wild land full of dark forests and rugged mountains. It is also a great place for hunting. All the residents here are skilled hunters. To put it bluntly, they are rich in soldiers who specialize in forest and mountain warfare. Their archers cannot be said to be the best, but they are also excellent. Without superb skills, you will become food for ferocious lions and other wild beasts, or be killed by invading Druch pirates.
Of course, as the Phoenix King's bodyguard, the White Lion Guards are not all guarding the Phoenix King. They will also be sent to serve as guards for various important generals and mages. The most powerful one among the White Lion Guards is not the "Pure Mane Guard" or the "Silver Mane Guard", but the "Atrilia Divine Guard".
There is a magical legend in the Kingdom of Charis, telling about a priestess who lives in the deepest part of the forest. Only those warriors who meet the perfect definition and heroic performance of a warrior can see her face. Many Charis warriors accepted this irresistible challenge, and many of the best warriors died trying to catch a glimpse of her beauty.
But there are still some warriors with enough wisdom and strength who have seen Itrilia and survived. Although every warrior who has come into contact with her has a completely different experience, after these warriors return, their senses have become sharper and their combat skills have become sharper. It also becomes more sophisticated.
As for the "Shadow Mane Guards", I won't mention it.
Then there is the Kingdom of Cosqui on the right, which is also a bad land. The wind blows twice a year, once for half a year, and the surrounding ocean is full of ferocious predators. But this place is extremely special. This is the concentrated area of worship of the Lord of the Abyss, Marcelan. The asur of this place love to travel and are known throughout Ulthuan. The happiest experience in Assur, the Kingdom of Cosqui, is to feel the salty air filling your nostrils and enjoy the cold sea breeze blowing your hair.
To put it bluntly, they are rich in sailors, and their behavior is also barbaric, and they like to engage in piracy... The
silver-helmeted knights of the Kingdom of Cosqui have a special characteristic, that is, they can flexibly ride war horses to fight on the deck.
Tyrion, who was born in the Kingdom of Cosqui, honed his skills with the Silver Helm Knights in Tal Arryn when he was still young, and gained merit in the battle against pirates. Otherwise, this team from Tal Arryn that time The Silver Helmet Knight was in danger of being destroyed, and since then he has developed a deep bond with Tyrion.
Let me mention here that Tyrion has a title called "Dragon of Cosquei". The descendants of the eldest son of the first Phoenix King Aenarion have been living in the Kingdom of Cosquei, not the Kingdom of Etain or the Kingdom of Nagaryth.
The Kingdom of Yris below the Kingdom of Cosqui is also interesting and relatively special. It is a vast area of land covered by mist, with rolling hills and hidden valleys.
The mobile islands in the outer circle are also surrounded by the fog created by the magic of the current Phoenix King Bel Hathor. The sea is more strange than the land, but we will talk about this later...
This is a sparsely populated country, and only a few are not covered by the thick fog. The sheltered area contains several towns and the main capital city of Tal Yris.
These mists are emitted through magic and are used to protect the guide stones. In a sense, the guide stones are the lizard people's spiritual vein nodes in a sense, and they are the spiritual vein nodes on Ulthuan. This kind of spiritual node is not only found in Lustria and the southern jungle of the old world, but also in the entire medieval world, but each race calls it differently.
These guide stones are also scattered across the Empire and Bretonnia. Those guide stones were placed when Malekith ruled the old world. Sometimes things are full of irony. It's just that humans usually don't know what it is for. The colonial city abandoned by the elves, and now there is a guiding stone in the Bretonnian city of Cologne.
Disputes exist forever in this world, and many races take this matter seriously. Of course, we will talk about this later...
Although the Kingdom of Yris is rarely invaded by outsiders, the defense pressure here is relatively the greatest. This kingdom is In the easternmost part of Ulthuan, the towering Guardian Tower in the city of Tal Yris is an important spiritual node. The spiritual node here has to bear the pressure from the old world and Albion Island. As time goes by, As time goes by, the spiritual vein nodes are overloaded and overloaded, resulting in some chaos demons randomly spawning from the guiding stones here. If you are lucky, you can cause big waves.
Due to the terrain and guiding stones of the Kingdom of Yris, the kingdom's noble soldiers formed two branches, one is the Silver Helmet Knights, and the other is the Mist Walkers founded by Elsharion's father Morarion.
Mistwalkers are rangers who patrol the hills and canyons of the Kingdom of Yris. They wear a gemstone that prevents them from getting lost in the mist and resonates with the guiding stone. They are good at using longbows and swords. Cooperate with the unique standing army of the Kingdom of Yris, the Silver Guard, to fight against the Chaos Demons that suddenly appear in the fog.
Since the moment the Mistrunners were captured by Morarion, this force has recruited nobles rather than citizens, and has gradually expanded to form a legion. But this army is also very special. They do not have the establishment of the Kingdom of Yris, and are more like private soldiers loyal to the guardians of the Kingdom of Yris.
Many of the nobles of the Kingdom of Yris have experienced their first battles in the Mistwalker Legion, and their iron will has been honed in the battles with evil horrors on those hidden hills.
Among the Silver Helmet Knights of the Kingdom of Yris, there is a non-mainstream group that is good at aerial combat. The Silver Helmet Knights from Tal Gaiwo will ride griffons, giant eagles, and even ride the Sky-Slayer airship purchased from the Kingdom of Itain. Join the fight.
Although the Kingdom of Yris is shrouded in fog, its capital, Tal Yris, is the largest port city in eastern Ulthuan and the most prosperous city in eastern Ulthuan. Likewise, the navy of the Kingdom of Yris is also very powerful.
However, all this changed after the "Big Belly King" Gulu invaded the Kingdom of Yris in 2425 of the Imperial Calendar. The ten rooms and nine spaces of Tal Yris became withered and surrounded by fog. At this point, the entire Kingdom of Yris All shrouded in fog.
The inner ring kingdom close to the Kingdom of Iris is Saffre. Since the White Tower of Hos was built in the Kingdom of Safre, or the Kingdom of Safre is a magical place, the White Tower of Hos was built here, which led to the nobles here. They also have two branches, one is the Silver Helmet Knight, and the other is to study in the White Tower of Heth. There are also two branches in the White Tower of Heth, one is the magician who is more focused on magic, and the other is the magic swordsman who is more focused on physics.
It's just relatively biased. As we all know, elves have a long lifespan. They have a long time to practice swordsmanship while learning magic, and they can also practice magic while learning swordsmanship.
An example of this, the supreme magic swordsman "The Wise One" Belannar is a dual practitioner of monsters. He is a magic swordsman who is good at magic and a mage who is good at swordsmanship. He not only taught Teclis magic, but also taught Eltharion swordsmanship.
Although the Kingdom of Savre is famous for its magic, the spearmen and archers recruited here are also well-trained and there are a lot of them. This may be because of the Inner Ring Kingdom, or it may be that the mages who have just learned magic are always impatient. The reason for releasing magic in the fields is that the food harvest here is excellent.
To the north of the Kingdom of Savri is the Kingdom of Avalon, the spiritual center of Ulthuan, the seat of the Court of the Eternal Queen, a place full of wonders and eternal summer.
Although the maids and sisters of the Kingdom of Avalon are famous, there are also knights with silver helmets. This is Ulthuan, this is an elf, not some Amazon with only female warriors.
The positioning of the maids and sisters of Avalon is very strange. They are elven girls recruited from the civil class by the Eternal Queen in her own name. According to tradition, only the most talented girls can enter the ranks of the Sisters of Avalon. Just as the Everqueen embodies all that is ideal and flawless among the elves, so should the Guard chosen by the Everqueen do the same, not only in mind and body, but also in spiritual pursuits.
It has a religious and personal nature. Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as the retinue, private soldier, and personal guard of the Eternal Queen? It is a special soldier.
I thought I was going to use silver, but actually... Let’s talk about the structure of the Asur army first.
