Chapter 38: The Dragon Sealing Ceremony

Amy's group was delayed for three days, mainly because Prince Tiedu's staff needed to arrange enough fleets for the small mercenary group. At this time, it was a cold winter, and ordinary ships could not travel at all, and almost all the oak ships in all ports had just arranged 4,500 mercenaries.

In the next two months, the Northern Federation will gather all the veterans who have retired in the past five years, a total of 24,000 people, and these veterans will only need three months at most to recover their peak combat strength. In the same period, the Northern Federation will also recruit 60,000 regular troops and 60,000 swordsman battalions. I believe that such news will make the stormy imperial superstructure feel a little relieved.

The few ice-free ports on the frozen continent are in the territory of the Holy See on the south side of the continent, and now that the two countries have completely turned their faces, the little mercenaries have to risk the danger to board the big ship from the ice, starting at 6 o'clock in the morning and not boarding until it is completely dark in the afternoon. In the process, four teenagers fell into the crack of the ice and were crushed to death, and the tragic aura surrounded the teenagers from beginning to end.

From the time he boarded the ship, the hardest thing was His Excellency Lu'er, who had to rise into the air at least four times a day, soaring within a hundred nautical miles around the fleet to prevent the enemy from attacking - now the cadres of the small mercenary group had a feeling of being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope for the Fanos soldiers and the Holy See, and in the past two years, every time they relaxed their vigilance against the enemy, the other party launched an attack in the most unexpected place, and each time it was fatal. In the past two times, although the small mercenary group was recruited, their luck was not bad, and every time they were able to escape death, would good luck come for the third time?

At this time, Amy, Daqingshan, and Horns, who was far away in Hamburg City, really slept with one eye open. Amy also truly understands what it means to be "a general, walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss, trembling".

On the first day of the fleet's march close to the continent of Eminole, two young phantom beast knights from the imperial side flew down from the cliff.

According to the two teenagers, after Daqingshan left Hamburg City, the Redstone Emperor began to prepare for the dragon sealing ceremony. This is also the first time in the history of the empire that the dragon has been sealed - His Majesty the Founding Emperor has long thought of a way for his children and grandchildren to make a comeback in case of a crisis, but there is indeed no such national fortune hanging in the breath in the history of the empire.

The Redstone Emperor carefully looked through the information left by his ancestors to seal the dragon, which was written in great detail, and on the dragon book, every dragon willing to settle in the dragon garden left his right paw print on this gold leaf, which meant that the dragon would definitely carry out the entries listed in the "Dragon Book".

There is the following clear clause in the Dragon Sealing Book: ★ When one of the following great changes occurs in the Amy Empire, the dragon can be sealed: At the dragon sealing ceremony where 30 ★% of the land of King Diduk was assassinated, the dragon clan must be provided with more than ten times more noble knights to choose from.

★ The following races may not appear among the Dragon Knights participating in the Dragonlord: Berserkers, Dwarves, Gnomes, Orcs, Orcs, Orcs, Night Elves, Elves, and all Alcatraz races. Women are also not allowed.

★ Those who take part in the Dragon Seal must be able to withstand the Dragon's three group tests.

★ Those who participate in the dragon sealing must be able to defeat the earth-walking dragon - the Swift Dragon by force.

★ During the Dragon Sealing Ceremony, the Imperial Family can designate a member of the Royal Family who can meet the appeal conditions as a mandatory candidate for the Dragons.

★ The dragon seal is valid for 20 years, and after 20 years, regardless of whether the empire is restored or not, the dragon has the right to return to the dragon garden, and the dragon that has completed the dragon sealing ceremony will not fulfill the obligation to seal the dragon for the second time within 100 years.

★ During the dragon's stay in the Dragon Garden, the children and grandchildren raised by the dragon did not have to fulfill any obligations until they reached the fourth order. If you reach the fourth order, you can choose whether you want to participate in the dragon sealing ceremony or not.

★ All knights participating in the dragon sealing ceremony must be familiar with and willing to fulfill the dragon knight code, otherwise the dragon also has the right to leave the dragon knight after the dragon is sealed.

After all, it is the first time in the history of the empire, especially for the civil and military ministers of the empire other than the Redstone Emperor, most people only know that there is such a thing as a sealed dragon, but most of them still don't know what the conditions are and how to proceed. After reading the contents of the Dragon Seal Book, even the many generals in the military department, most of them sighed softly: It seems that such a noble title as Dragon Knight is not open to everyone after all. The Swift Dragon can be said to be the most difficult of the earthly dragons to deal with, the speed is as fast as thunder, and the two sharp front claws can even tear through the skin of the rhinoceros, even the Phantom Beast Knight is difficult to defeat with the help of the Phantom Beast.

It took more than twenty days for the Redstone Emperor and many ministers to finalize the candidates to participate in the dragon sealing ceremony. The main reason is that the Imperial Dragon Garden has developed extremely rapidly in the past hundred years, if it is not miscalculated, there should be eleven fifth-order dragons now, eighteen fourth-order dragons, and twenty-nine dragons below the third-order level. If dragons below the third order do not participate in the dragon sealing ceremony, then there are twenty-nine dragons, seven of which already have their corresponding dragon knights, and two hundred and twenty dragon knight candidates need to be selected - even if one of the dragons is designated to choose a member of the royal family, then two hundred and ten knights need to be found. It was only at this time that the inadequacy of the imperial knights' strength was deeply appreciated.

After experiencing the bloody night of the imperial capital, the Redstone Emperor and the important ministers of the empire were somewhat suspicious, originally, it stands to reason that the best way to choose a dragon knight is two: the army and the nobles. In the regular army of the empire, anyone who has been promoted step by step from an ordinary soldier to a guerrilla officer has considerable combat power, and it stands to reason that it should not be difficult to fight a swift dragon. In addition, most of the nobles, especially the big nobles in the Gyeonggi area, have quite strict requirements for their children, often starting to learn fencing at the age of four, and entering the junior knight school at the age of six, and serving as an attendant for the knights in the army for two months every year; entering the intermediate knight school at the age of ten, at this time they have begun to really enter the barracks and participate in some small-scale battles; around the age of sixteen, the average young nobleman will have the first knight title in this life and enter the senior knight school. Some of the top performers were even able to graduate from the High Knight School at the age of sixteen and get a decent position in the regular army of the Empire.

However, in the bloody night of the imperial capital, the Gyeonggi general Chi Hanfeng and the soldiers of the Colorful Dragon Knights of the Tens of Thousands of Empires drew a huge question mark with blood: Are the current nobles and even the army really reliable? The Burmese Yang Empire can even be bought by a high-ranking lord like Delaware, and other minor nobles ...... Moreover, more news has come back that the shameless Pope has canonized more than 20 thrones in a row in the past month, and nine out of ten of them were loyal nobles of the Amy Empire just a few months ago. If you still seal the dragon to the aristocracy, maybe...... It's to increase the enemy's combat power.

Although no one said this without knowing the current affairs, everyone was already tacitly aware of the list when discussing it.

The first confirmed list was confirmed in less than three hours.

The Emperor himself must have been regarded as a royal designee. Prince Tiedu was originally a dragon knight, and his name could be crossed out. Among the half-brothers of the Red Stone Emperor, there were originally two who were known for their bravery, but unfortunately, during the bloody night of the imperial capital, they were all lost in the imperial capital, and now they may have been prisoners or even deceased.

Amy, the leader of the small mercenary group, and Chi Changyun, the general of Tongyun Pass, had no objections to their names. As Chi Hanfeng's nephew, there is no problem with the loyalty of these two people.

The name of Count Lynn was also immediately adopted. There is no controversy about Viscount Fan's name, although this man is usually very unpopular, but if this person really has a second heart, since the fall of the imperial capital, he has too many opportunities. If such a person is not selected, it will definitely chill most soldiers.

Someone whispered a name: "Horns." The Redstone Emperor didn't raise his head, and knocked on the terms of the dragon book marked dwarf with his hand.

Marquis Nord, the general of the Jielin Theater of Operations, is nearly fifty years old, and he doesn't know if he can still defeat Xunlong, but his name should still be written, in case the old soldier really still has such combat strength and loses the election, it is also a pity.

After the Imperial Capital Bloody Night, there were only fifteen Phantom Beast Knights left as the personal guards of the Redstone Emperor, and they were undoubtedly extremely reliable.

The Redstone Emperor casually added another person's name: Long. Many subordinates glanced at each other, and most of them didn't even know who this person was, but for His Majesty to be so solemn, there was no need to ask.

In view of the excellent performance of the small mercenary group in the previous battles, and the fact that Fanos and the Holy See had very little infiltration into the frozen continent, the small mercenary group from the ice and snow continent immediately took the biggest piece of the cake on the list of the dragons - fifty teenagers from the ice and snow continent or at least two of the three battles of Xilin Island, Ice Broken Port, and Hamburg City participated in this dragon sealing.

Most of the more than 40 nobles who came to Hamburg with the Emperor did not meet the standards, but the Emperor said that each family could recommend a direct nephew to participate in the dragon sealing ceremony.

In this way, 60% of the list has been confirmed.

For the remaining 40%, the Redstone Emperor sent Phantom Beast Knights to inform Viscount Fan, Marquis Nord, General Chi Hantong, and General Chi Changyun, and each theater proposed 20 candidates, among them, General Chi Hantong selected another 20 candidates for the Northern Federation - that is, from the Northern Federation army under his command. The proposed candidates will arrive in Hamburg City within 40 days, and the Red Stone Emperor and the military department will once again select the best candidates to participate in the dragon sealing ceremony.

According to this ratio and screening method, even if the Burmeyang Empire and the Holy See have put a lot of effort behind the scenes, there will not be more than 20 people who can finally enter the dragon sealing ceremony, and then after the selection of the dragon, there should not be much mistake.

The most important of these is, of course, His Excellency Grand Master Amy, a small mercenary group who does not love the country and loves beauty, after all, according to the proportion, perhaps, Amy's subordinates will have more than five dragon knights, as for His Excellency Amy himself...... The Redstone Emperor and several military bosses have never been worried, with Amy's combat power, and with the creation god himself such as the blue meteorite giant sword, and once angrily slashed the gods of the other world, defeated the evil dragon Yinfeng, it can be said that he has infinite prestige. The only concern of the Imperial Monarch is what if all the dragons are optimistic about Lord Amy, and the dragons end up fighting?

For ordinary braves, it is a supreme honor to be a dragon knight, and for a brave man like Amy, to be able to become Amy's mount dragon is the supreme glory of a dragon. I just don't know which dragon can overwhelm the dragons in the end and win in the end.

Amy listened to the two teenagers of the same age casually talking about the inside news in the cabin, and pointed to the tea with a wry smile: "The two of you drink tea slowly, don't say anything like this, you know, the dragon clan's understanding and needs of human beings may be completely different from human beings' own views, for some dragons who love to eat human flesh, they may like to choose dragon knights whose meat is more fragrant and tender." Besides, such words get out, just in case...... I don't bathe often, and I don't end up getting the dragons' hearts, so ...... I can't jump off a cliff yet. ”

The two teenagers could not have imagined that the famous Lord Amy would say such a thing, and they did not know how to answer for a while.

"Alright, I'll keep two more here. Amy stood up to see off the guests: "Go back, please help me transfer the Redstone Emperor, the candidates for the small mercenary group are all drawn up by His Excellency Horns, Daqingshan will lead the newly recruited small mercenary group members back to Hamburg City, and I and the other small mercenary group members will go directly to Messis Peak to participate in the dragon sealing ceremony." ”

Watching the two Phantom Beast Knights soar into the sky, Lord Amy turned around and smiled at the many eager little mercenary members behind him and said, "Now it depends on which of you is more adept at slapping Horns' ass." ”
