Chapter 496: The Origin of the Organization
Dinisha walked in a dense forest full of cedar needles, her high-heeled iron shoes creaking on the snow, and behind her, two stunned white-clothed swordsmen, with jade bodies lying in the snow.
The organization is well defended on the island, but for Denissa, who grew up training here, there are really no secrets other than the core.
As she went deeper, the woodland began to reveal the signs of a wide camp, with towering sentry posts and patrolling soldiers, armed with improvised arquebuses, swords pinned to their waists, chain mail and cotton clothing, and a wide overcoat covering the top, on which not the cross of the Knights was depicted, but a hideous portrait of the head of a dragon.
Gunpowder weapons have gradually emerged in the Western Continent, and with the blessing of mechanical techniques, even arquebuses can exert quite good power, but there are still many restrictions.
In most cases, a well-trained longbowman can easily torture one or more arquebusiers, but it can't stand the low cost of construction and training.
Denisha silently passed by the two guards, not even a gust of wind.
In the training ground, there was a faint sound of coquettishness, and the young girls who were still trainees were catching and "fighting", saying that it was a fight, and it was not too much, because although on the training ground, they would not distinguish between life and death, but after transplanting the flesh and blood of the demon seed, there would be a rejection reaction, and many trainees may not live for half a year.
In addition, the organization is cruel, the talent is not good, or the compatibility with the flesh and blood of the demon seed is too low, and the trainees who fail to inherit the powerful power of the demon seed will also be cleaned up in the end.
Therefore, less than one-tenth of the hundreds of trainees in each class can survive to the end and become a real big sword.
Denisha stopped and watched for a while, and secretly sighed: "These young juniors are really like us at the beginning. ”
A hint of pity flashed in her expression, and you probably didn't know that the organization you thought you had rescued from the abyss was actually the one who pushed you into the abyss.
The last time she returned to the Order, she had already found out a lot of things, one by one, shocking, she didn't tell them all these things, they had borne the fate of the warriors for long enough.
Next, it's up to her to take care of everything.
If you die, everything will be over.
If you live, let this ancient organization be destroyed.
Behind her, there is the crystal greatsword called the Dragon Hunter, and the original trident is branded?? The sword mark was corroded by the white centipede venom, and the big sword was about to be scrapped.
The two swords are stacked and placed, and these two swords alone add up to a hundred catties.
The island of Cymore was once the domain of an imperial Grand Duke, and the Grand Duke's title was not high in the Land of Warriors, which was half as high as the Duke, and many of the Grand Duke's domains could even be called independent duchies.
Just like the princely kingdoms that were divided during the period of Zhou Tianzi, in addition to the obligation to pay tribute to the emperor and send troops to protect them, they are almost equivalent to an independent small regime.
But this island is obviously not a rich territory, and sealing it here is not so much a knighthood as a failure in the struggle for the center of power, and thus a distribution situation.
By the standards of the Land of Warriors, a knight could possess a fief was generally a small manor, self-sufficient, with all kinds of facilities such as blacksmith shops and stables, and the population varied, probably around a hundred.
The only armed forces of the manor are the knight lord and his servants.
And the fiefdom owned by a baron is enough to expand to the village and town level, with a population of tens of thousands.
Often, a baron has an armed force of fifty knights (heavily armed tin cans) and hundreds of heavily armed soldiers and knights (medium-mounted cavalry).
In the case of the little baron, it is estimated that there will be three or four knights at most.
The authority of the archbaron was not even inferior to that of the earls of some remote and impoverished areas.
And the Grand Duke of Cymore Island belongs to the kind of nominally Grand Duke who is sealed in a remote area, and the population of the entire island is less than 50,000, not to mention compared with the rest of the Grand Dukes, even compared with some big earls and little marquises.
Coupled with the remoteness of the location and the backwardness of commerce, the Grand Duke was very depressed for a while.
Until one day, he obtained a scroll of ancient parchment of unknown origin from a merchant from Saracen, and from then on, the Grand Duke mastered a powerful demonic power.
This power was so strong that he even led his knights to the south, killed a terrible dragon with his own hands, and secured the name of a dragon slayer hero.
You must know that the dragons of the Western world, although they are far inferior to the true dragons of the Eastern world, are also extremely powerful monsters, and their strength is generally above the level of the Holy Dao.
The gold content of the dragon slayer hero is not high.
The founder of the Order was a descendant of the Grand Duke, and in the distance, Denisha could already see the snow-covered spire of a majestic castle in the mountains in the distance.
Around this castle, like the camp she had just experienced, there were three more.
As the most prestigious mercenary organization in the eastern part of the entire Land of Warriors, the number of its great sword masters, that is, the masters of the Grandmaster Realm in the Eastern World, has always been the largest.
On the bright side, the warriors in the organization are ranked according to their numbers, from number one to number forty-seven, and they generally have the strength of the Great Sword Master (Grandmaster Realm) or above, and those who reach the top ten generally reach the Legend (Holy Dao Realm).
Of course, there is not a single epic (human immortal/demon path giant).
But Dinisha knew very well that the hidden power of the organization did not stop there, after all, the "shelf life" of each great sword warrior was only two or three years at most.
Beyond this time period, the Great Sword will awaken - of course, no Great Sword would want to be a monster that feeds on the flesh and blood of humans.
Therefore, when they sense that this boundary is coming, they will often send a "black letter" to their trusted greatsword companions, asking their comrades to kill them with their own hands.
As for why not commit suicide.
It is because both the Catholicism practiced by the Imperial after the schism and the Orthodox Christianity believed by the Eastern Noble Alliance after the schism believed that suicide could not ascend to heaven.
In fact, throughout the history of religion, except for cults, probably all religions that help the rulers are against suicide, after all, sheep stay in the sheepfold to be valuable, whether they run away or commit suicide, it is a loss for the ruling class.
To get back to the point, even though the vast majority of the great swords died before they awakened, there were still a small number of great swords that awakened in battle and turned into monsters.
And for so many years, these monsters that have awakened and turned into big swords have not come back to destroy the organization entrenched on Cymore Island, which is enough to prove that the organization has a killer weapon in its hands that is feared by those extremely powerful awakened people.
