――[PART3: Organization and Military Situation]――

====================3/01: Military Position: Knights of Pantoraken3/01/01: Military Situation: Knights of Pantorakaken (1): Overview of the armed group of Pantoraken, similar to the armies of a nation.

The Order is divided into four branches: the Knights of the East, the Knights of the South, the Knights of the West, and the Knights of the North.

This was primarily to organize the border guard effectively against the enemies who regularly invaded the borders of Pantoraken: the Hunsians from the dark lands of eastern Europe, the sea trolls from the west, the Thule from the south, and the Viking pirates from the northern Ice.

The Order is divided into six knightly classes, from the lowest to the highest: Bronze Knight (Bronze Knight), Black Iron Knight (Iron Knight), Silver Knight (Silver Knight), Golden Knight (Gold Knight), Gaia Knight (Gaia Knight), and the head of the Knights, Celestral Knight (Celestral Knight).

3/01/02: Rank: Pantoraken Knights (2): The Bronze Knights, or trainee knights, are formed to patrol and maintain regional stability during non-war periods. Twelve Bronze Knights are a small team, led by a Black Iron Knight.

The Black Iron Knight is the lowest-ranking knight who has been described, serving as the leader of the squad, and in addition to leading patrols, he also needs to be responsible for various tasks of training trainee knights. During the war, the twelve Black Iron Knights and their squads formed a squadron, led by a Silver Knight.

The Silver Knight is a mid-tier knight who is generally awarded a title no lower than that of a viscount when he is promoted. When there is a mission, the Silver Knight can mobilize twelve knights under him, that is, a maximum of (12x12+12=156) knights to carry out the mission. During the war, 12 Silver Knights and their squadrons formed a brigade with a Golden Knight as the captain. The Silver Knight is actually already a very high-level knight, many knights struggle for a lifetime and cannot climb to such a high position, and only a few elites can climb up from the trainee knight without hereditary succession.

The Golden Knight is arguably a high-ranking general in the Order, and is usually awarded a title no less than that of a Marquis when he is promoted. When accepting a mission, the Golden Knight can mobilize twelve squadrons under him, up to a maximum of (12x12x12+12=1740) knights. During the war, 12 Golden Knights and their brigades formed a battalion, led by a Gaian Knight.

The Gaian Knights are the same as the Knights' Officers, and are generally awarded a rank no lower than that of an Earl upon promotion. They also had only a handful of knights in a regiment, and in battle they led a battalion of twelve companies, which was the maximum number of knights (12x12x12x12+12=20,736).

In fact, as staff officers, there are also some Gaia knights who do not lead their own troops, but stay in the rear to use the art of war to direct battles, they are called "honorary Gaia knights". The knighthood of Gaia is not hereditary, at least from the Golden Knight, and there is a series of very strict assessments.

The Heavenly Knight is the head of the Knights, the strongest existence in a Knights. Celestial knights generally have a title no less than that of a duke, or worse, a title of grandduke. There were only four knightly orders in Pantoraken, that is, in the same historical period, there were only four knights of the heavenly rank in the territory of Pantoraken, who led the knights of the East, West, South, and North Heavens. In Pantoraken, where there is no king, only the Parliament, the knights of the four heavens are like four kings, they only obey the orders of the council, but they have the freedom to direct their own knights to act independently in the battlefield. Therefore, the people will also call the heavenly knights the "four kings", "four heavenly kings", or "four monarchs". Those who can become knights of the heavenly throne are the best in history, and their names can be engraved in the Hall of the Dead in the imperial capital of Sacred Camelot.

Like the Gaia Knights, the Heavenly Knights are not hereditary, and to climb such a high position, they must at least start with the Golden Knight and go through decades of training. Therefore, there has never been a person in history who can become a knight of heaven before the age of forty. According to historical records, the youngest celestial knight at the time of his appointment was Uther Pantoraken, who was only forty-two years old when he took office.

3/01/03: Rank: Knights of Pantoraken (3): Equipped with the Knights' standard weapons (Photon Sword, Photon Armor, Light Gun), the Black Iron Knight and above can own mounts, the small Photon Gunboats called the Stellrider.

The standard Iron Rider has a capacity limit of 2 people, has very high mobility, and is equipped with a powerful photon shield and photon cannon. However, the knights of the Pantoraken tend to focus on defense, focusing the main energy output of the Iron Rider on the photon shield, so the Iron Rider's mobility is generally not high. There are very few knights in history who have been able to turn off their shields and survive the rain of bullets in a melee, so it is almost a constant habit for knights to open their shields.

In addition to the standard equipment, Gaia Knight and Sky Knight can also apply to use the [Dragcorider], which is a higher level than the Iron Rider, which is an improved machine of the Iron Rider, and is one level superior to the Iron Rider in all aspects.

By the way, the standard equipment of the Knights is very expensive. The standard lightsaber of the Black Iron Knight is 1,000 gold pantorakens (equivalent to the price of a small anti-gravity airship purchased by the people at that time), the armor is 5,000 gold coins (equivalent to the price of a standard building of 100 square meters at that time), and the price of an iron knight reaches 10,000 gold coins, which is almost impossible for civilians to earn in their lifetime, so stealing the equipment of the Knights is a capital offense, and the knights will also be severely punished if they lose/seriously damage the equipment for no reason.

The Order's equipment was financed by the Parliament. The Parliament is also the top boss of the Order.

====================3/02Military Position: French Knights3/02/01: Military Situation: French Knights(1): OverviewUnlike the Pantorecken Knights, who were responsible for defending against foreign enemies and maintaining internal security, the French Knights had a clear division of internal and external duties. The "Knights of the Shield" played a role in maintaining internal law and order, and the "Knights of the Sword", which played a military role in defending against foreign enemies.

The equipment of the Knights of the Sword is similar to that of the Pantoraken Knights, but the Knights of the Shield only have relatively basic equipment and are not equipped with iron horses. Therefore, the operating expenses and entry threshold of the Knights of the Shield are relatively low, which also causes the uneven combat effectiveness and low overall strength. However, the Knights of the Shield have a clear advantage in the number of knights.

In the French Knights, there is also a royal guard dedicated to the king, the "Knights of the Rosé", which belongs to a small number of elite troops.

====================3/03: Organization: Mage Guild3/03/01: Organization: Mage Guild(1): OverviewThe history of the Mage Guild is actually divided into the Old Mage Guild and the New Mage Guild.

The Old Mage Society was founded around 6000 BC. At that time, the study of magic was still in the Hongmeng stage, and there were very few people who could use magic, and it was generally achieved by relying on the talent of the caster. Ordinary people who have no understanding of the photon theory call these people who can use magic "witches" and "witches", and often hunt down magicians in fear, tying them to the stake and burning them at the stake.

The organization formed by the magicians in order to protect themselves was the prototype of the old mage association.

The Old Mage Guild is a private organization that secretly gathers to facilitate the exchange of magical research while evading the inquisitors of heresy. At a time when the Old Mage Guild was taking shape, the ancient and great mages created the infrastructure of the Ivory Tower (**Master's Tower). From the architecture to the composition of the inside, the ivory tower has been elevated over thousands of years until the modern era.

The property they passed on to the New Mage Guild was not only the iconic building protected by powerful magic, but also a large number of ancient and mysterious magic, as well as a complete and orderly system. It can be said that the legacy left by the Old Mage Society to future generations, each of which is priceless.

The New Mage Guild was founded around 1500 BC. The mages who have been reborn after the "lost millennium" have inherited most of the legacy of the old mage association, and the reorganized association has lost its former glory. But after almost two millennia, it is still an unshakable and powerful organization in Europe.

The New Mage Guild is largely "self-run", relying on lending magicians to complete commissions and taking commissions from them to generate huge financial revenues. The New Mage Guild is not owned by any European country, and the mages who join the New Mage Guild can be said to be people without borders.

The New Mage Guild is a minority group for European countries with large armies, but the strength of the mages still makes European countries avoid it. The relationship between the European countries and the New Mage Association can be said to be a mutual use and a check and balance.
