Chapter 558: The Lurker (7)

It is said that the phoenix is one of the sacred birds, born to balance the world, and never dies, has the ability to regenerate, and is an extremely rare bird.

Norin picked up the scroll on the last long enchantment: "The swamp giant crocodile, produced in the Phanos continent, its characteristics are unknown, it is only known that it is a water giant beast with a violent personality, and it has an extremely significant advantage in freshwater combat. ”

About half of the water was placed in each of the three barriers, and there were three fierce crocodiles swimming in them, and their green skin covered with scales appeared and disappeared in the water.

Norin slowly put the last three divine wood sticks into the magic box, motioned for the two first-level magicians to come to everyone with the magic sticks, and announced in a solemn and loud voice: "The Phantom Beast Selection Trial has officially begun-" Within the scope of the empire's army, the implementation of a set of strict army system management, good organization, like an arm, is the key to ensuring victory in the war.

Five people are the most basic troop establishment of the empire, called the army, and the army commander; Wuwu is a song, and the length of the song is set; Five songs for one, set up guerrillas; Guerrilla below, for the imperial grassroots commanders.

Part 3~5 is a small team, with a team leader. Two or three squads form a squadron, and in the inland areas of the empire, the squadron is mostly composed of two squadrons, while Gyeonggi and Frontier are mostly composed of three squadrons to form a squadron with a squadron leader. (Note: 1000~1500 people)

Squads and squadrons form the basic combat units of the Empire's mini-campaigns. As a result, squad leaders and squadron leaders are defined as mid-level commanders in the Empire.

Two squadrons or three squadrons form a brigade with a brigade leader, and in all previous battles, the brigade was the main unit of war. (Note: 2000~4500 people)

3~5 brigades form a jurisdiction, according to different regions, set up a general or governor, and with 1 to 3 full-time staff generals to assist. Generals are fully responsible for their own defenses.

Generals, generals, and captains are senior commanders of the Empire.

There are deputy marshals and marshals above the generals, with the marshal's staff, and the right to set up the marshal's office independently, with their own staff team and officer team, except for the personal guards of about 1,000 people in peacetime, they do not specifically lead troops or are responsible for the defense of a certain pass; In wartime, they control several jurisdictions and fight together.

In peacetime, the Minister of War is the supreme commander of the army.

In wartime, the emperor was the supreme commander of the army, and the Minister of War was the general of the General Staff to supervise the whole army.

There were 31 almost identical Shenmu sticks in the magic box, and Norin Xu stretched out his hand to slowly stir the Shenmu sticks in the box with his magic power, and the Shenmu sticks were flying with the air flow that could not be seen, and slowly, all the Shenmu sticks were suspended in a row in the magic box, and the purple heads rushed up.

Norin simply announced the rules: everyone walked to the magic box, stretched out their hands and hung over the box, meditated on the phantom beast they had just fancied, and imagined that the phantom beast's stick flew into their hands, a person only had one minute at most, in this minute, if it felt that the first phantom beast was difficult to fly into his hand, then it meant that the knight's strength and temperament were not enough to match the phantom beast, and then thought about the second one, and then the third one. Think of up to three at a time, and if that doesn't work, then go to the side and rest and wait for the next round. If you have successfully obtained the Divine Wooden Stick, you can also rest to the side, and after all the Wooden Sticks are distributed, you will unify to communicate with the Phantom Beast before the enchantment.

According to the etiquette of the past years, the first to receive the phantom beast sign were the three trialists of the Holy See of the friendly countries.

Sha Ruo looked at the two partners who were with him, a boy and a girl, who, like herself, had participated in missions to different countries, and they all came back after successfully completing their missions. Sha Ruo was gentle by nature, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and motioned to the two partners to ask them to come first. Guman, who was also a holy sacrifice, was also very polite, and gracefully stretched out his hand to ask the priest Miss Mammis to go to the trial first. Mamez hesitated for a moment and walked up to the altar where she visited the magic box, she reached out her hand, closed her eyes, and silently read something. 10 seconds passed, 20 seconds passed, 30 seconds passed, and it was clear that she was in trouble, and the first phantom beast was reluctant to come out anyway, but I don't know if she had changed to the second one. 40 seconds passed, 50 seconds passed, sweat oozed from the girl's white forehead, and 60 seconds were coming, under the huge mental pressure and magical pressure, the girl's thin body seemed to be unable to support it, and she was crumbling on the stage.

Norlin motioned for a middle-aged mage to go up and help her, and Mamez was helped down. Guman was just about to take a look, but Norlin stopped him with his eyes and signaled that it was his turn.

After Gu Man stepped onto the stage, he stretched out his hand and mitted silently, and a divine tree issued a silver-white light and immediately flew up, oh, it was a snow wolf phantom beast, and the illusion of a silver snow wolf on the west wall flickered with the light that was chosen. The Holy See also has a large piece of land in the Frozen Continent, so in every Phantom Beast Trial, the Holy See has knights who choose the Silver Snow Wolf, which is probably also out of the idea of homeland guards.

When it was Sha Ruo's turn, she slowly walked up to the stage, what did she choose? The two best phantom beasts are undoubtedly the big bird that may be a phoenix, and the unicorn, which one to choose? More importantly, can such a good phantom beast achieve its own ability? What if you don't agree with her? She was making a choice as she reached out. Daqingshan is a dragon, or try the phoenix, maybe it can really be the dragon and phoenix, if not, just find one.

Bai Nen's little hand slowly put it on the Shenmu box, and she silently read: Phoenix, Phoenix, Phoenix, but she was uneasy in her heart, if it wasn't called Phoenix, there must be no way.

10 seconds have passed, 30 seconds have passed, 40 seconds have passed, and Sha Ruo's hands have begun to tremble, why don't you come up, is it...... Her mind flashed Daqingshan's honest face and gentle smile, as well as the cute little green child...... Just when the magician next to her was ready to come up and help her down, a red light suddenly rushed out of the magic box, and a divine wooden stick turned into a small firebird and flew out, in the hall, almost everyone heard the crisp birdsong, everyone felt a divine magic power rolling around them, and the moment the firebird was put into Sha Ruo's hand, it turned into a divine wooden stick again, and the red light in the hall also disappeared.

Could it really be the Divine Bird Phoenix? It is said that only a truly psychic phantom beast, and a phantom beast with a certain level, will have strange events when recognizing the master. According to historical records, 400 years ago, a huge cat was found in the mountains of the northern part of the empire, with a fierce temperament and quick movements, always constantly harming the inhabitants of the vicinity. At that time, several phantom beast knights and great magicians went to encircle and suppress, and after killing the giant cat, they found that there was a kitten in the cat's den that did not open its eyes. At that year's Phantom Beast Trial Conference, everyone was not optimistic about this kitten at first, but a young thief mercenary from a humble background chose this kitten when he could not compete with others. At the moment when the Shenmu Stick was chosen, the seven-colored brilliance in the magic box gushed out like a spring, and the Shenmu Stick turned into a cat-shape, with wings on its back, and threw itself into the mercenary's arms. Later, the kitten was recognized by a traveler from overseas as an animal called lynx from overseas Kinabalu, known for its ability to kill tigers and lions, and like to eat the brains of lions and tigers. Then, with the help of the lynx's incomparable ability, the Phantom Beast Knight was far ahead of the other Phantom Beast Knight who came out in the same year.

The girls who participated in the trial all showed disappointed looks, it seemed that this phoenix-like firebird had no chance with them.

Tears welled up in Mames's eyes, and it was this red phoenix she had just chosen.

Then there are the 4 boys recommended by the mercenary union, as mercenaries with the empire territory as the main activity area, their goals are quite unified, and they all put their choices on the phantom beasts produced in the empire, two earth dragons, a black horse, and the dark cloud pony all flew into their hands in the first time.

It could be seen that as the dark clouds and snow flew out of the wooden box, the two knights from the army system had regretful expressions on their faces.
