The Kingdom of Elion to the left of the Kingdom of Avalon is a land of vast grasslands and swift horses. Although the light cavalry marauders here are famous, the silver helmet knights here are the most numerous and capable of all the kingdoms of Ulthuan, and they also have the largest number of cavalry.
The nobles of the Kingdom of Airion will become plunderers like the common people before becoming Silver Helmet Knights. The Asur here are just like the herdsmen on the grassland. They usually let their horses go to guard against Druch's cousins coming to snatch the black horses. Yes, Druch Qi has a special liking for black horses, and will kill other horses that are not black horses, or guard against monsters rushing down from the crater, such as cockatrices and chimeras. In wartime they became light cavalry, also known as marauders.
The most famous marauder has the title of "Herald of the Gale". The pioneers of this unit usually have characteristics similar to Huo Champion, and they will win opportunities for the unit through their talent in sensing combat situations. The unit appears at the precise moment when it is needed most, sometimes destroying the enemy's war machine behind the lines, or penetrating deep into the enemy's flank to cause great chaos.
Unlike citizens, the nobles of the Kingdom of Elion will choose to become Silver Helmet Knights after serving as marauders for several years. Therefore, the number, qualifications and combat skills of the Silver Helmet Knights of the Kingdom of Elion are the best among all the Ulthuan kingdoms.
Similarly, nothing is absolute. The Kingdom of Airion not only has grasslands, but also a forest. The Amhara Draco Forest, which is rich in star trees, is here. However, it has been burned by Malekith, but there is still a forest preserved. The first batch of spears and longbows made of star wood will lose one if they are lost.
Finally, there is the Kingdom of Etain, which is between the inner and outer rings. Similarly, the nobles of the Kingdom of Etain will also become Silver Helmet Knights. The elite unit of the kingdom is not the Lothern Sea Guards, but the Sea Helmet Knights.
The great title of Seahelm Knight comes from the reign of the second Phoenix King "Explorer" Balshana. During the period when the elves were at their strongest, they perfected a combat technique called "Swift Silver Warfare". This kind of The combat technique is famous for using a feint to trick the enemy into raising a shield to block, and then using lightning speed to penetrate the enemy's skull, heart or throat with a spear or arrow.
However, the title of Sea Helmet Knight is very rare. Occasionally, Sea Helmet Knight will join the Triton Guard's team. They are like heroic units and will stimulate the Triton Guard's fighting spirit.
Usually, most Sea Helmet knights choose to fight on the Sky-Slasher airship, so that they can better launch bows and crossbows at the enemy, or swoop into the core of the enemy's troops, or destroy the enemy's equipment, or It is the commander who kills the enemy. Such an attack requires firm courage and sharp skills, but they often have both.
The Skybreaker airship will be connected to the back of the giant eagle through a specially treated enchanted metal. A device similar to a strap will be worn between the neck of the giant eagle and its wings on both sides and behind the wings to fix the connection part, so that the ship body It will be located at the back and top of the giant eagle's back, and the members will give priority to seizing air supremacy to ensure domination of the sky in the upcoming battle.
The Eagle Claw Ballista is not only the core of firepower on the battlefield, but also the main firepower on the sides of Ulthuan's battleships and the main defensive weapon on the top of the castle. The weapon's ingenious design allows the user to change the firing mode at will: it can shoot an arrow powerful enough to pierce a giant, or it can shoot six smaller arrows similar to cloud bombs. Depending on the user's proficiency, it can be reloaded in seconds, creating waves of deadly arrows.
Although the Skyslayer airship and Talon ballistae are unique weapons produced in the Kingdom of Itain, just like the various chariots and Reaper ballistae produced in Krakarond, these instruments are not from the Kingdom of Itain. Exclusive and will be sold to various Ulthuan kingdoms.
Of course, silver-helmet knights are not an inevitable choice for Assur nobles. Some nobles will serve as captains or scholars. For example, Tyrion's father is a scholar.
As for another pride of the Kingdom of Etain, it is the Lothern Sea Guard, a special existence. The troops with this title are standing soldiers, or professional citizen soldiers.
The Lothern Sea Guards can fight just as well on land as they do on the sea, and their ability to defend the city walls is no less impressive than fighting on the deck. To cope with these dangerous missions, they need the flexibility to use a variety of weapons. Most Tritons are proficient in the use of spears, shields, and bows in order to better coordinate with the best spearmen and archers from other cities and kingdoms.
When a battle begins at sea, the Triton Guards will play a key role. They will assemble a large number of warships and serve as the vanguard to rush to the enemy's position. When it is time to land, they will be the first to go ashore to ensure the safety of the beachhead for subsequent attacks. The army landed, with the Marine Corps positioning.
The reason why these sea guards are called Lothern sea guards is because they will be stationed in Lothern when they are not recruited by the Phoenix Court, where they have a large number of well-equipped barracks. Moreover, the Triton Guards spend three seasons of each year patrolling the waters around the islands or protecting the few remaining colonies, while the remaining time is spent recruiting new warriors and honing their skills.
Then the question arises. This involves a matter of opinion. Other kingdoms also have navies. Yris and Cosqui in the east of Ulthuan are the gathering places of the Matheran faith, and the other is the gathering place of the Matheran faith. The location of the Seran Shrine has a navy and ships.
As we all know, the spearmen and archers of Assur are levies. What are the standing soldiers of these kingdoms who perform similar tasks called? Or a Triton to match Lothern?
After the Great Schism, the Assur military system underwent three changes and adjustments of varying sizes. The first time was in 1497 of the Imperial Calendar, which was the fifth Phoenix King "Peacemaker" Caladrel from the Kingdom of Yris. In the 102nd year of his succession, a rotating garrison system was established at each gate to ensure that the gates leading to the inner ring were always in a state of full defense. Druchi was exhausted from the siege and finally returned in defeat.
In the fifth year of his accession to the throne, that is, in the Imperial Calendar -991, the sixth Phoenix King "The Slaughterer" Tesiris issued an order to integrate the army. The warriors of Asul will receive formal training in the walled city. More disciplined and coordinated than before.
Druchi, who took advantage of the gap in the Battle of Nagasu to attack, came to an end with the "Battle of Waves". Asul and Druchi were exhausted by the tug-of-war that lasted for nine hundred years, and then ushered in the long battle. There was a period of peace that lasted for 1,800 years, during which two more Phoenix Kings were replaced, but such a long period of time did not heal Asul's pain.
In the year 1120 of the Imperial Calendar, the eighth Phoenix King "Singer" Addis was assassinated. The next year, the ninth Phoenix King "Reckless" Movill from the Kingdom of Yris came to power. It is said that he was very nervous and often had nightmares. .
Then things started to get interesting. There is a reason why Moville is called Reckless. The first thing he did on stage was to avenge Addis!
The following year, Ulthuan assembled a war fleet to attack Naggaroth. As a result, the attack was discovered in advance. Druchi, who received the warning, was ready. Halfway through the landing of the Assur army, , Druchi's army launched a surprise attack on it.
This massacre was called the "Day of Blood". More than half of the Assur fleet was destroyed, causing the power of the two sides to tilt at sea, maintaining a strange and delicate balance of power. Some time ago, a large number of black arks and plundering ships could only squat in the Sea of Resentment, risking being sunk when they went out, until they discovered the underground sea leading to the west coast of Naggaroth.
The disastrous defeat left Ulthuan and the remaining colonies vulnerable to Druchi's counterattack.
Malekith also realized the weakness of Ulthuan's defenses, and without hesitation issued a call to arms and launched another attack on Ulthuan.
Soon, in 1133 of the Imperial Calendar, Morville promulgated a remedial policy and established a conscription system so that all Assur could be quickly recruited to defend their homeland. These levies would be turned into archers and spearmen and trained into different units according to the cities, towns and villages where they were located.
This system has stood the test of time and remains the foundation of Ulthuan's military to this day. Whether these Asurs were craftsmen, merchants, or artists in times of peace, they were all warriors in times of war.
At the same time, as part of the remedial policy, construction of the Twilight Fortress began and was completed in 1218 Imperial Calendar.
In the end, Moville's various actions helped him win the war, and Druch was driven into the sea again, but the number of Assur who paid for it was shocking. In the end, Morvill, crushed by grief, stepped into the Asuryan Holy Fire for the second time in 1503 Imperial Calendar and ended his life.
Although Moville's ending was disgraceful, the levy system he left behind has been tempered by war and has cultivated various elite legions. The most famous one is the 30-legion Itaien Guard. These guards They are all spearmen...
The Trident Bearers, as an elite Marine Corps, were also born at this time.
"I have fought against this team before." Kraken Lord Loxia continued.
As a powerful person from Kalond Carl, Loxia spoke openly about what happened before the last claw competition in front of the powerful people from Krakalond, and waited for the powerful people from Krakalond to turn around and focus their attention. He smiled a little while on his golden helmet.
The reason why Loxia said this is because he knows that there will be no claw competition between Kalonde Carl and Krakaronde from now on. How can this competition be fought with the Witch King's hand? Let’s not talk about whether we can defeat the giant beast of Lustria, and the game is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human affairs~. He began to tell a long story about how he was attacked by a trident bearer when he was wandering around the waters of the Giant Turtle Islands to capture the Lustrian beasts.
Those trident holders crossed the cordon from underwater and climbed onto the deck from the thirty-meter-high hull of the Black Ark with their bare hands. Then their luck came to an end. They threw away several corpses and ran away, but one not dead.
Through some means, Loxia obtained some information from it. For example, the captain of the trident bearer was a noble from the Kingdom of Yris, named Fenarfin Star Dragon. At the beginning, the garrison of the Twilight Fortress was mainly nobles and citizens from the Kingdom of Yres, Morville's hometown, and Finarfin was one of them.
"Never heard of it." Darkus shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of this person. In terms of the Assur Navy, he only knew Aislin and Fenuba's eldest son Yillian.
Darkus is not omniscient and omnipotent, and can even recite things backwards and forwards. There are many things he doesn't know, such as Admiral Sigelin Sealight of the Twilight Fortress, and Dragon Ship Commander Aetherys Pale.
For example, over time, Morvill's successor, Bel Hathor, the tenth Phoenix King, the Wise, replenished the Twilight Fortress's garrison with standing troops from Cosque, Itain, and other kingdoms. However, the colonists of the Kingdom of Yrys believed that their kingdom had historical ownership of Twilight Keep, which caused tensions between them and colonists from other Ulthuan kingdoms.
Finarfin was assigned as a trident bearer after arriving at the Twilight Fortress. During his nearly thousand years of service, he performed countless special missions around the waters of the southern hemisphere. He was involved in boarding operations, covert operations, and underwater battles. Has rich experience in this area. During the Great Anti-Chaos War, in 2302 of the Imperial Calendar, the eleventh Phoenix King "Navigator" Fenubar promoted Finarfin to the commander of the dragon ship, and recalled Finarfin to Osu a few years later. install.
What was outrageous was that Finarfin's first dragon ship, the Ingranan, was sunk by Luther Harken's fleet on the Vampire Coast. But what was even more outrageous was that faced with the siege of the undead, he did not choose to sink with the ship. Instead, he led his troops to escape cleverly and successfully, and then took the Couchen Plains to deliver the precious cargo to the Twilight Fortress.
If it wasn't outrageous before, it became unbelievable next. Finubar actually recognized Finarfin's achievements and sent Finarfin to another dragon ship, Exeleron, as the commander.
After laying the groundwork, Loxia did not hesitate and directly launched a big move.
"The trident bearer is looking for the Sun Flame Talisman! Maybe this is the reason why they were established!" Loxia did not hesitate, and then released a big move. Anyway, the Fallen Heart family has no choice. It is better to go all the way. The most important thing is that he thinks that although the news is important, it is just that. And the most important thing is that he does not think that as Mather The Sunfire Amulet can be found in Lan's Chosen Witch King's Hand or in the Order of the Stormweavers he currently belongs to.
As Loxia's words fell, the Drukhi dignitaries in the tent suddenly became agitated. Darkus first glanced at the reaction of Aijerese across from him, and then began to think about it. While he was thinking about it, the man who had been sitting before Malekith, who was in a daze, also looked at Aijerese.
Darkus quickly searched his memory. Unlike the Sun Flame Sword, he found that he seemed to have no impression of this thing? He vaguely remembered that this was Lilith's magic weapon?
Of course Aijiresse, who was glanced at by Malekith, knew what it meant. He cleared his throat and started talking about the Sun Flame Talisman. Of course, he only picked out some unimportant things.
In the golden age before the Great Invasion, Lilith, the pure girl and goddess of the moon, gave the elves three extraordinary items, known as "Lilith's Blessings." It is said that these three items were left over from the previous era.
These include the "Star Crown", which is said to allow the wearer to see visions of all times and places known to the elves and gods. "Sunfire Amulet", it burns so brightly and pure that no evil creature can endure its existence, but those creatures with truly noble hearts find in it a source of hope and vitality. And "Lilith Moon Staff", which can give the holder powerful magical power.
The deadly "Moon Bow" gleaming in the moonlight, an exquisite weapon made of pale metal, was the gift that Lilith personally gave to Aris Annar, but this bow is not one of the three-piece set. ...
The Star Crown was shattered into many fragments when Malekith exploded the Maelstrom. To this day, the Loremasters from the White Tower of Hoth are still desperately searching for the lost fragments of the Star Crown. Even the most insignificant fragments contain immense power, and many Asur mages dream of harnessing this power for their own purposes.
The Moon Staff of Lilith is the most legendary. Since Teclis was not born yet, the staff is still stored in the White Tower of Hoth in the Kingdom of Saffrey. As a magical genius and the chosen one of Lilith, Teclis holds the undisputed staff. The power of the staff flows through his body, energizing his weak body and filling him with magical energy.
As mentioned before, in the early stages of End Times, Tyrion used the Sun Sword and Teclis used Lilith's Staff of the Moon. The brothers joined forces to create unparalleled power and crushed a large wave of chaos in Lilith's Moon Spire. The head of the demon, Nakali, the Great Demon of Slaanesh in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, was also chopped off by Tyrion with the Sunfire Sword.
But Na'kari was not immediately banished back to the Demon Realm of Chaos, and then Teclis took Na'kar's horned severed head to the top of the Moon Spire.
The voice of Teclis chanting incantations echoed in the sky, and the moon shone with the syllables he uttered. When he finished chanting the last words, he slammed the Staff of Lilith Moon onto Na'kari's skull.
Na'kari cracked, its skull cracked open, and deafening thunder and lightning streaked across the sky. There was a flash of light, and many Assur present claimed later that they saw the slender silhouette of Lilith looming in the sky. Pure white flames burst from the tip of the Moon Spire, and the flames rippled across the land. Wherever the flames passed, the Chaos Demons turned to ashes, but the Asur warriors who fought against the Chaos Demons only felt the gentle caress and harmonious voice of Lilith.
The pure white flames did not stop before reaching the shores of Ulthuan. The Chaos Demons of Ulthuan were banished, but this came at a price.
Lilith's Moon Staff turned into an ordinary wooden stick, and the ability given to Teclis by the staff was fading away. He felt cold and dull, and pain continued to spread in his limbs, and then he fell down. The Demonic Swordsman of Hoss standing behind him caught him with quick eyes and hands, but the Demonic Swordsman of Hoss failed to grasp the stick that had turned into an ordinary stick made of wood and decorations.
The ordinary wooden stick fell on the stone bricks and broke into three pieces. The cold Teclis looked at the fragments before he fell into coma. He thought that the victory obtained by these sacrifices was worth it. When he was in a coma, Lilith's Moon Staff had been repaired by the best scholars in the White Tower of Hoth, but the magic power of the staff had disappeared.
This is the power of extraordinary items, but! The legend of Lilith's Moon Staff is not over yet! Teclis brought this staff, which had been passed down for two eras, to the next era...
The last one is the Sun Flame Talisman. Some scholars believe that this is the greatest gift from the goddess Lilith, but it is It disappeared forever during the reign of Morville.
According to records in Assur's chronicle "The Book of Hours", when the prince wearing the Sun Amulet was thrown from the bow of the ship in a fierce storm, the Sun Amulet disappeared forever in the churning bay. deep.
Fortunately, Darkus was very close to the time when this incident occurred, and Druch's intelligence network was relatively reliable.
That prince was Morvel's son, Prince Alavel. As a reckless man, Morvel did not listen to the advice of the erudite in the White Tower of Hoth and insisted on lending the Sun Flame Talisman to his son to help Alavel protect him. A remote colony is protected from attack.
However, tragedy happened. Prince Alavel did not reach his destination. He and the Sunfire Amulet disappeared at sea and were taken to an underwater tomb. They were never seen again. It is said that the Sunfire Amulet was lost between Lustria and Lustria. The rapids fjords between the Old World Southlands.
Asul savants studied the ocean currents in the Antarctic and sent divers to search countless shipwrecks, but found nothing. One of the missions of this elite force of Trident Bearers was to find the Sunfire Amulet.
Then things got weird, and the mysterious disappearance of the Sunfire Talisman became a sensitive political topic in Ulthuan, and the accident is still the subject of many speculations and conspiracy theories.
Some speculated that the Sun Flame Talisman was not lost at all, but was hidden in a treasure house somewhere and isolated from the world. Some speculated that the Sun Flame Talisman fell into Druchi's hands.
Due to their closeness and connection to Morvir, the Twilight Keep and Dawnhold in the Old World South have become popular targets of accusations from conspiracy theorists.
Dawn Fortress and Twilight Fortress face each other across the vast ocean. Due to Moville's order, Dawn Fortress was built fifteen years before Twilight Fortress. The fortress was built around an approach stone on Sunlight Island, off the jungle coast of Southland, which houses a major naval base and several towns and shipyards.
Initially, the two colonies organized regular military maneuvers against the Druchi raiders and supported each other's navies. However, the characteristics of the elves are here. Although they cooperate, they are also competitors with each other. The eagerness to surpass the sister colonies often causes the captains of both sides to make stupid decisions during the battle.
The disappearance of the Sun Amulet and long-standing rumors only added fuel to the fire, further worsening relations between the colonies. The colonists of Twilight Keep often wonder why their counterparts in the Southlands are so cautious. The colonists of Dawn Fortress suspected that Lustria's colleagues had already found the Sun Flame Amulet.
The Sunfire Amulet has also become an obsession in Finarfin's mind. According to his own theory, which is also a theory shared by several core members of the Trident Bearers, they believe that the lost amulet is actually a copy of the original amulet. They believe The real Sunfire Amulet is locked in the Dawn Fortress.
Priestess Lilith, who came to Twilight Fortress from Ulthuan to investigate, believed that the Sunfire Talisman had been recovered by the trident bearer centuries ago and was secretly kept in Twilight Fortress or the Volcanic Islands. She wanted to All you have to do is find the Sunfire Amulet.
"Why is it related to the politics of Ulthuan?" Darkus' head ached a little, and he began to wonder what he was doing in the first place? Ah, yes, it is to obtain some information about the Twilight Fortress, such as figuring out the environmental structure, military deployment, faction composition, etc., and study whether to fight or make peace next, or what. Although the information about the Sun Flame Amulet was very useful, and he knew from this information that there might be conflicts between the factions within the Twilight Fortress, it was not that useful...
When Darkus first came to this world, he slightly offended Lilith once, and each other In between, I tore my hair and beat it up. There was no contact again after that, maybe because the communication was cut off by the old lady, or Lilith didn't like him, who knows, but he knew that Lilith had contacted Alyssa, but he told Alyssa to ignore it. .
Not long after that, Lilith appeared in Darkus' dream, protected him once, and told him about theories such as the River of Time. But Darkus was not interested in Lilith, let alone the Sun Flame Amulet. He already had enough bits and pieces on his body. He was holding Genevieve while wearing the Sun Flame Amulet and watched Genevieve want to Turn to ashes in your own arms?
No matter where the Sun Flame Amulet is, Darkus is not interested. He doesn't think he can find it after searching for so long. Unless he knows the exact location, he doesn't have so much time to waste. If you have the skills, you might as well go to Bretonnia and kill a Holy Grail Knight or something and ask Lilith. This thing originally belongs to Lilith. There is no reason for Lilith not to know, right?
The Ochitar octopus lying on Ernst's shoulder listened to the conversation of the Druchi, his smart eyes turning around, as if he was thinking about something.
"Is there any information about the Twilight Fortress system?"
Going around in a circle
