111 Military parade
A military parade is a ceremony for a country to review its armed forces, and it is a deterrent to show its strength at home and abroad.
Such rituals are essential in every country, and Butlans is no exception.
It's just that the military parades in previous years will not be as loud as this year, and many hidden forces will not be exposed in front of people, which will cause people to be afraid.
But this year was different, there were many visiting envoys, and a large number of them were waiting to see the parade, so as to decide whether to befriend Butlans in the future.
On the continent of O'Europe, there are hundreds of countries, and wars of all kinds and sizes have never decreased, today you annex me, tomorrow he attacks you, there is never a time when there are no subordinates.
The reason why Battlelance has been able to survive is because the monsters in their country are too harmful, and no one wants to spend more energy to resist the beast tide after they work hard to defeat this place, so that every time they just recover a little vitality like Battlelance, they will be harmed by the beast tide again.
But now it's different, the beast tide has been dragged back and on, it hasn't appeared for fifteen years, and there is no danger of the beast tide, the country with the largest area on the continent and a very low force value naturally makes the countries ready to move, if they can't show a strong deterrent power in this military parade, presumably it won't be long before the flames of war will involve Butlans. It's not something they're happy to see.
Therefore, this military parade is very important, and some of the hole cards that were originally hidden have also been turned over, which is bound to make everyone dare not act rashly.
Therefore, not only the soldiers of the six legions of Butlans participated in the parade this time, but the number of soldiers also changed from the original 500 people of one regiment to 1,000, and a total of 6,000 people participated in this parade.
The parade ground is located in the southeast corner of the castle, the building is somewhat like the Colosseum, but only three sides are built with high platforms, and the high platforms are not connected to each other, easy to enter and exit, every year there are any large-scale military activities in Tal'an, basically will be held here.
The high platform in the middle is a royal stand, and apart from the royal people, who can watch the military parade here, only a few ministers who have been invited by the royal family have been honored for this honor.
The stands on the left and right sides were occupied by the envoys of various countries and the nobles in the country, and when assigning places to these people, the officials in charge of the military parade also put a lot of thought into it.
And the ministers and nobles in their own country are also very complicated, and they must also be arranged according to this, although everyone believes that no one is stupid to cause trouble at this time, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a person with a clear mind?
Beneath the stands were heavily guarded soldiers, and the patrolling team wandered around from time to time to prevent any mistakes.
At ten o'clock in the morning, twenty salutes roared at the same time.
When the salute began to roar, the loud horn sounded throughout the audience, representing the official start of the military parade.
Battlelance's national anthem came out of the magic loudspeaker, accompanied by a high-pitched and majestic singing, and a phalanx of people who were being reviewed appeared in front of everyone.
The first thing that appeared in everyone's field of vision was the four flag bearers holding the corner of Batland's flag, walking in front with their heads held high.
Behind them were columns of light infantry phalanxes with weapons in their hands and solemn expressions and their steps in unison.
Each of their steps was so powerful, each step was only one sound, and in the roar of the salute, they shouted slogans and walked step by step to the center of the parade ground, saluting to the position of their Emperor Majesty.
Raymond and the others in the stands also returned a military salute.
The phalanx of light infantry was followed by heavy infantry, followed by archers, shieldmen, swordsmen, axemen, pikemen, and instrumental men (who used trebuchets and crossbows during the siege), all of whom belonged to the infantry, from six different legions, who now wore the same uniforms and armor, and presented the most solemn birthday gifts to their lords.
And after the infantry, there are various branches of the cavalry.
Although the infantry units that appeared at the beginning were imposing and powerful, they did not feel any deterrent in the eyes of these foreign missions, and there were also such soldiers in their country, and they were no worse than Butlans's.
But when the cavalry class appeared, it was very different.
The first to appear were cavalry and light cavalry, and when they appeared on the parade ground on their mounts with weapons and shields, there was an uproar in the stands.
For no other reason, the mounts of these two hundred light cavalry were not ordinary riding beasts, but fourth-order demonic beasts with wings that could fly.
Like the infantry in front, they walked to the stands step by step with neat steps, and when they reached the center, they even flared their wings and bowed their heads to the central stands.
"Oh my God!"
If they were only shocked when they saw that there were demonic beasts everywhere in the territory of Battleland, then when they saw such a well-trained cavalry phalanx of Cloud Treading Horses, they were not only shocked, but also frightened.
Although they knew that Battleland had a Warcraft legion, the only people they had really seen were an army from the country that had stepped on the border, and most people had only heard of it but had not seen it, in their minds, the so-called Warcraft Legion should be to domesticate a group of Warcraft and then release them to attack at will during the battle.
But now it seems that the situation is completely different from what they thought.
In other countries, Warcraft is recognized as difficult to tame, but in Battlelands, they not only tamed Warcraft, but also trained them to be such obedient and obedient "soldiers", think about the number of Warcraft in this country, think about their level, not all or even half, even if there is only one-tenth of such "soldiers", no one dares to fight Butlans.
The nobles of Battleland were also shocked, although they also knew that their country had a Warcraft Legion, but the feeling that a phalanx was all the same kind of Warcraft was still shocking, and this was not the Warcraft Legion, just looking at the armor style on their bodies, everyone knew that this was the cavalry of the Central Army.
And in the heavy cavalry phalanx after the light cavalry, their mounts are also stepping on cloud horses, and the mounts of the two phalanxes in the front and rear are all fourth-order demonic beasts or a variety, such a big deal is not something they can imagine at all.
Those with sharp minds have already thought of the operation when the two royal princes led the team to the Magical Forest a few months ago, and these cloud-stepping horses must have been captured at that time.
The heavy cavalry is followed by the arch and crossbow cavalry, mounted archery, without exception, their mounts are all Warcraft, these cavalry are divided into different phalanxes according to the system of Warcraft, although they are not unified Warcraft varieties like the previous light and heavy cavalry phalanx, but their level is higher, at least they are also fifth-order and sixth-order Warcraft.
The seventh-order demonic beasts did not appear in these phalanxes, even if they were to deter other countries, the hole cards that should be left should be well hidden.
After the cavalry, there were rows of chariots pulled by ordinary riding beasts, and the guests who looked at the Warcraft cavalry in front of them should have been numb, but the mages in robes on the chariots and the petite and cute Warcraft that followed them still opened everyone's eyes again.
After these pet-like little guys entered the parade ground, they began to release their skills collectively, and the skills that were perfectly coordinated and powerful were not small at a glance, and they could be as beautiful as fireworks.
After the magicians disappeared in front of everyone, everyone thought that this military parade should be over, but they didn't expect that as soon as the salute stopped, a deafening roar came from the sky.
"Woo ~~~~~~"
The sky seemed to darken all of a sudden, and everyone looked up to see a group of behemoths circling around the parade ground.
The scales on their massive bodies and the two pairs of batwing on their backs are so iconic that it's easy to get their names out.
"Winged Ironclad !!"
How could this seventh-order flying demonic beast appear here? Everyone was shocked, eager to find a place they couldn't see to hide, and for a while the stands were full of ugliness.
The voice of the announcer in charge of introducing the various classes of troops passed through the magic megaphone, calming the crowd.
"Next up is our Air Force Phalanx, which is made up of eighteen two-winged ironclad birds......"
It turned out to be the air force unit of Battlelands? And it's made up of eighteen seventh-order two-winged ironclad birds? When the news reached the ears of those envoys, it was tantamount to a thunderclap that blew them up.
The original sixth-order demonic beast cavalry was not enough, there were even seventh-order air troops, and this unit was still a two-winged ironclad bird, their scales were so thick that they couldn't even penetrate the bow and arrow, and their own resistance to demons was not low, and their teeth and claws were also sharp enough to tear people apart in an instant, if they were against them, where would they still have their lives?
How is this going to be fought? And how can it be fought? The envoys of various countries, who were originally ambitious, are now like wilted grass, listless, and no longer dare to think of tearing a piece of flesh from Butlans's body, but only hope to befriend them and ensure the safety of their country.
