Chapter Forty-Eight: Salute to the Flag!
The early morning of October 1, 752 in the imperial calendar, is just an ordinary morning with a bit of autumn for the people of the empire.
However, for more than 200 young people in a remote corner of the Wind Plain, it was a fateful morning.
On the playground of the Eagle Academy, two hundred people in black and bright armor waited quietly, waiting, waiting, a moment to come.
The young faces are full of excitement and pride, and the eyes are full of hope and heroism. Two hundred men who had gone through strict military training, the tribulations of the animal camp and the test of survival, just stood at that station, and a sense of slaughter rose spontaneously.
The inauguration ceremony of the Liuyun Guard will be held this morning.
Eagle Academy.
On the parade platform in the playground stood Iverson, the host of ceremonies. Liuyun and Lao Ka stood behind him one after the other.
Behind the parade platform is a temporary viewing platform. The prince Shiyan sat in the middle, and after receiving the news of Liuyun, Yan Tian and the accompanying generals who came from the imperial capital to greet the prince sat on both sides. Hua Scarlet Tears and Lei Luo were also invited by Liuyun to rush over from Wind Whispering City and sit on the side with Shui Ling'er.
Narondo stood on the left side of the parade stand, especially excited. His gaze once again fell on the three people not far from him, Hippo, Walker, and Kria. The burly Hibo, holding a large flag in both hands, stood facing the students with a solemn expression. Walker and Clia were both dressed in black armor, one on the left and one on the right, standing proudly, with resolute expressions, as if they wanted to protect the banner in Hippo's hand with their lives.
"I solemnly announce that on October 1, 752 in the imperial calendar, with the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, the personal guard of Viscount Liuyun Kaide, the Black Eagle, was officially established!"
Iverson's loud voice echoed through the academy, bringing bursts of applause.
"Flag!"
Hearing this, the three of them turned to the right, facing the parade stand, and marched forward with the flag, handing it to Liuyun, and then retreating in the opposite direction to Narondo's side. Narondo led the three of them and walked up to Liuyun and gave Liuyun a standard military salute.
Liuyun looked at Nalendo, handed the flag to him, and nodded slightly.
Narondo held the flag in both hands and faced the members of the guards standing in the playground, holding the large flag high in his hand and fluttering in the wind.
"Salute to the military flag!"
With the sound of Iverson Qingyue's command, there was a soft "bang" on the playground, and 200 people unsheathed their long knives and raised them to their chests in unison, staring at the banner in the air! Holding the knife, drawing the knife, raising the knife, and looking sideways, all the movements were exactly the same, only bringing a dreamlike snow-bright knife light.
On the banner in the wind, a black eagle is embroidered, soaring under the blue sky and white clouds. In the distance behind the eagle, a white dove slowly flew with a green leaf in its mouth.
"Rite over!"
The sword flashed, and two hundred people stood as before.
"Viscount Liuyun, please!"
Liuyun walked to the front of the stage, and his eyes swept over the audience.
"Soldiers, this is the first time I have addressed you like that. From this day forward, you are a soldier of the Empire. A soldier is a person who is born to exist for war, but is definitely not a killing machine. Soldiers are the ones who finally disperse the clouds of war and usher in the light, and they are the guardians of peace! From the moment you become soldiers, the battlefield is your stage, and peace is the perfect curtain call! The mainland is not calm, and the horn of war will sound at any time. As Black Eagle takes off today, we will always protect our friends, loved ones and loved ones!"
Liuyun stopped, his eyes fell on the fluttering military flag, and he raised his hand and pointed lightly.
"The flag is the symbol of the army, and this one is the military flag of the Black Eagle. Taking over the military flag means taking over the mission and responsibility. From today onwards, your glory and shame will be written on the military flag. Soldiers, you must use your youthful blood to write the glory of the military flag and defend the dignity of the military flag with your own lives! The flag is here, the black eagle is there, the flag is lost, and the black eagle is dead!"
Later, the opponent asked Liuyun if he had to die if he lost the flag. Liuyun said, "Damn, your brains are all bean dregs." If you can't win, shout to the flag guards to run first. The direct effect of this sentence is that when the Black Hawk retreats in an unfavorable situation, the flag guards are always the first.
"The army has iron discipline, and soldiers take obedience as their duty. I hope everyone will remember my following words with their hearts. Anyone who disobeys orders in the army will be beheaded! Anyone who violates discipline in the army will be beheaded!
Three heavy "chops" hit everyone's hearts hard, making everyone's necks feel a chill. This "Three Orders of Slashing", starting with Liuyun's personal guard, accompanied him to fight in all directions, and was gradually accepted by the armies of the Blue Moon Continent.
When people later analyzed this seemingly simple "three beheading orders," they commented as follows: Those who violate discipline in the army are beheaded to ensure strict military discipline; those who disobey orders in the army are beheaded to ensure the smooth flow of military orders; and those who defect in the army are beheaded to ensure the purity of the army. This is something that only a genius commander-in-chief can propose.
"Now, I announce the personnel appointments of the Black Hawks. Viscount Narondo was appointed as the captain of the Black Eagle Guard, Hippo was appointed as the deputy captain of the Black Eagle Guard, and the Black Hawk had six squadrons, Zi Wencheng was appointed as the captain of the 'Thor' squadron, Yang Ming was the captain of the 'Holy Light' squadron, Tie Lie was appointed as the captain of the 'Earth Demon' squadron, Shui Han was appointed as the captain of the 'Night Wind' squadron, Ah Yang was appointed as the captain of the 'Sky Fire' squadron, and Wijack was appointed as the captain of the 'Water Spirit' squadron. ”
When she read this, Hua Scarlet glanced at Shui Ling'er meaningfully, and Shui Ling'er immediately lowered her head.
The three Iverson resolutely refused to serve in Black Hawk and volunteered to serve as Liuyun's bodyguards. While considering Black Hawk's personnel appointments, Liuyun suddenly found that there were very few talents available around him.
The inauguration ceremony of this guard deeply shocked everyone on the viewing platform. A private guard, in the eyes of everyone, is just a noble child to play, and no one has much expectation of Liuyun's guard. Their presence was just to give Yan Tian a face.
However, the disciplined and high-spirited young people in front of them, the solemn flag awarding, and the extremely inspiring speech of Liuyun made them look at this newborn black eagle again.
"Lao Yan, this eagle is not simple, your son is even more of a general. Duke John sighed in the ear of the hot day. After Yan Tian became Minister of War, John became the commander of the First Legion, and he was also the emperor's cousin.
The Duke laughed, this was just a child's nonsense. ”
"Lao Yan, you're welcome. Don't you think that these young people have an unusual temperament?"
"I feel it. Maybe they've been training hard. ”
"Are you pretending to be with me, or do you really not understand?" John laughed when he heard this, "You can't see that this is a group of warriors of a hundred battles? Their quality is far better than that of my soldiers!"
"This can only be said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"
Yan Tian's heart is now also a mixture of flavors. After seeing everything today, he seemed to be very reluctant to believe that all this was done by Liuyun. While being proud of his son, he couldn't help but ask himself in his heart: "Do you really know him?"
In addition to the strange feeling when he heard about the "Water Spirit" squadron, Hua Crimson's heart was the happiest. Because Liuyun did not disappoint her, what she saw and heard today made her feel that everything she had done in the past was worth it. These former orphans finally embarked on the road of rebirth under the leadership of Liuyun.
At this moment, an unexpected news shocked everyone!
