Chapter 9: The Dignity of Phantom Beasts

Within the limits of the imperial army, the implementation of a strict military system management, good organization, such as arm-to-arm, is the key to ensuring victory in the war.

The five people are the most basic troop establishment of the empire, called the army, with the commander of the army; the five troops are a song with a song commander; the five songs are a song with a guerrilla attack;

Guerrilla below, for the imperial grassroots commanders.

The five departments are 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.

In peacetime, in addition to having a personal guard of about 5,000 people, there is no specific leader or responsible for the defense of a certain pass; in wartime, they command several jurisdictions to 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.

Chapter 9: The Dignity of the Phantom Beast

There were 31 almost identical Shenmu sticks in the magic box, Nolin Xu stretched out his hand and used his magic power to slowly drive the Shenmu sticks in the box, the Shenmu sticks were flying with the air flow that could not be seen, and slowly, all the Shenmu sticks were suspended in a line in the magic box, and the purple sè's head rushed up.

Norin simply announced the rules: everyone walked to the magic box, stretched out their hands and hung on the top of the box, meditated on the phantom beast they just fancied, and imagined that the phantom beast's stick flew into their hands, a person only had 1 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 endowment 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 Shenmu lot, you can also rest to the side, and after all the sticks are distributed, you will communicate with the phantom beast before unifying to the illusion world.

According to the etiquette of the past years, the first to receive the phantom beast lottery were the three trialists of the Divine Court of Friendly States.

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. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she motioned to the two partners to ask them to come first, Gu Man, who was also a holy sacrifice, was also very polite, and elegantly stretched out her hand to ask the priest Miss Mammis to go to the trial first, Mames hesitated for a moment, and walked up to the altar where she visited the magic box, she stretched 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, the girl's fair forehead oozed sweat, and 60 seconds were coming, and under the huge pressure of the gods and magic, the girl's thin body seemed to be unable to support it, and she swayed 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 on the stage, he stretched out his hand and meditated silently, and a divine wood issued a silver-white sè light and immediately flew up, oh, it was a snow wolf phantom beast, and the illusion of a silver sè snow wolf on the west side wall flickered with the light that was chosen. The Holy Court also has a large piece of land in the Frozen Continent, so in every Phantom Beast Trial, the Holy Court has knights who choose the Silver Snow Wolf, which is probably also in the mind of the homeland guard.

When it was Sha Ruo's turn, she slowly walked up to the stage, what to 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 her own ability? What if she doesn't agree with her? She stretched out her hand and chosen. Daqingshan is a dragon, let's try the phoenix, maybe it can really be a dragon and a phoenix...... Well, if it doesn't work, just find a random one.

The white and tender little hand slowly put it on the Shenmu box, and she silently read: Phoenix, Phoenix, Phoenix, but she was nervous in her heart, if it was not called Phoenix, there must be no way.

10 seconds have passed, 30 seconds have passed, 40 seconds have passed, 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...... As soon as she thought of this, 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 up, in the hall, almost everyone heard the crisp birdsong, everyone felt a sacred magical power rolling around them, and the firebird was thrown into Sha Ruo's hands, and instantly turned into a divine wooden stick, 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 it must be a phantom beast of 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, xìng is ferocious, agile, and always constantly hurts the nearby residents, when several phantom beast knights and great magicians went to encircle and suppress, after killing the giant cat, they found that there was a kitten in the cat's den that did not open its eyes, it happened that it was the year of the phantom beast trial, and the accompanying great magician immediately created a fantasy, put the kitten in, and brought it back to dìdū. At that year's Phantom Beast Trial Conference, everyone was not optimistic about this kitten at first, but a thief mercenary from a humble background chose this kitten when he couldn't compete with others. At the moment when the Shenmu Stick was chosen, the magic box Qisè gloriousness gushed out like a spring, and the Shenmu Stick turned into a cat-shape, with wings on its back, and threw itself into the arms of the mercenary. 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 knights who came out in the same year.

The girls who participated in the trial all showed a look of disappointment, and it seemed that this phoenix-like firebird had no chance with her.

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

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

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

Then the knights from the military system walked up to the altar in turn, in several major systems, they are generally older, the youngest is about 23 years old, almost everyone has a frosty sè on their faces, but they are also the most majestic and neat group of men. Everyone walked up to the stage with standard military steps, stretched out their hands and chanted silently towards the magic box. Facts have proved that those who can have a squadron leader or above in the army before the age of 25, regardless of whether they have the help of their families or not, each has extremely excellent performance, two earth dragons and two silver snow wolves flew out smoothly, and then, the jade rabbit chased the lightning and flew out. When the last man stepped up to the stage, many people frowned, wasn't this Edward, the eldest son of the Marquis de Delaware? He walked forward slowly, Shen Sè was obviously nervous, he didn't know what he chose, 30 seconds passed, and there was still no phantom beast movement, and at the last moment, a black horse god wood stick flew out. He wiped the sweat from his head and walked down.

Now it's the turn of the teenagers of the knight school, they are also knights, these teenagers from aristocratic families are very different from the army knights just now, they walked quickly to the stage, stretched out their hands and began to choose, at first the two teenagers obviously set their goals on the black sè domineering earth dragon just now, they were anxious to read out while choosing: "Black dragon, black dragon, come out, come out quickly." "It's just that the earth dragon seems to be very faceless, just don't come out, and finally failed to step down, the next few teenagers obviously learned from the experience, it seems that no one has set their eyes on the black sè earth dragon, and they have set their sights on other earth dragons and snow wolves, and one boy even chose a crocodile.

Chi Aotian was the tallest, at the back, and now it was his turn, he strode to the altar, unlike the others, he went directly to the back of the magic box, stretched out his hand, bit his lower lip, his eyes narrowed slightly, he took a long breath, and suddenly called out in a slow tone to the West Wall Phantom Beast Fantasy Realm: "My partner, my Phantom Beast, the Dragon King of the Black Sè, come out!"

The black dragon fantasy world suddenly sounded the roar of the dragon, and a black sè airflow flew out of the magic box, shè towards Chi Aotian, Chi Aotian waved his hand in the air, and the black sè airflow disappeared immediately. Chi Aotian didn't have any joy on his face, and walked off the stage with a snort.

The heads of the families present nodded or shook their heads, Duke Chi's family has indeed produced talents from generation to generation, and I have heard that although the youngest grandson of the Chi family does not like to talk and socialize, and is also unknown in the knight school, but in terms of strength, it is recognized as the strongest in the knight school.

Many people noticed that the corners of Redstone Emperor's mouth also showed a pleasant smile.

Then there were the 4 students of the magic school, at this time, there were not many phantom beasts left, the first to come up was Lin Yusheng, she had already thought about it, try the unicorn first, since Norin said that this unicorn can only be owned by jīng spirit and pure girls, it seems that he has never harmed anyone, isn't it pure? If not, choose a bloody horse.

It's hard to think about, but it seems to be very easy to do, she hasn't walked to the magic box yet, and she hasn't reached out at all, just the name of the unicorn is floating in her head, and a white light has swayed out of the box, and it fell directly into the hand she just opened and was about to stretch out, wow, it won't be such a good life~~ What did almost everyone in the trial hall think. This time the phantom beast trial is rare, and now there are three high-level psychic phantom beasts.

Then several magicians quickly chose the phantom beast.

In the second round, the knights who didn't choose the phantom beasts in the first round were also quickly selected from the remaining phantom beasts.

After a little rest, Norlin signaled, everyone walked to the phantom beast they chose, several magicians activated each illusion again from left to right, the candidate knight put his hand on the only breathing port in the illusion, and his body slowly drifted into the illusion, if the phantom beast did not have a strong sense of resistance, then it was considered a success.

Since they have passed the first round, the success rate is still very high, except for a few phantom beasts that have reflected, the other phantom beasts have successfully accepted their owners. The three phantom beasts, the black dragon, the phoenix, and the unicorn, which have attracted much attention, performed even more satisfyingly, and they slowly rubbed their heads or unicorns in the direction where the knight was standing, as if they had signed a contract.

The remaining 5 knights who were not recognized by the phantom beast re-selected the wooden skewer in the magic box, and they all passed the level easily the second time.

The Redstone Emperor was very satisfied with the process of this trial, he stood up, the golden cloak fluttering behind his back, the crown towering, and the rich baritone echoed in the hall: "This is an exciting time, this is a moment of national attention, all future Phantom Beast Knights, as your king, I sincerely congratulate you, from this moment on, you will become the pillars of the country." Tomorrow, you will set out to challenge the more severe test of the Holy Snow Mountain, which is a greater pressure for you, but this is not the greatest pressure you are facing, your greatest pressure is to work with me to make our empire a stronger country!"

No one could have imagined that the Redstone Emperor would conclude with such simple but extremely inflammatory words. Everyone at the scene couldn't help but applaud, except for the three knights of the Holy Court, all the other phantom beast knights all knelt down and bowed deeply to the king.

On the way back to the Duke's Palace, the Duke, who never boasted easily, also smiled, and said to Chi Aotian: "Aotian, I performed well today, that dragon is the best one I have seen in my military career for so many years, and it is the dragon of dragons." It seems that you have the strength to participate in the Dragon Knight challenge in the future. ”

And Mr. Chi Hanfeng slapped Chi Aotian's face excitedly: "Ha, boy, not bad, as soon as the dragon can ride, immediately ride in front of Amy, remember that he is only allowed to see, not allowed to ride, hehe, I used to let him learn to shoot with me and be a knight, but he didn't learn, he had to be a swordsman with no prospects, and now he looks good." ”

At dusk, the Duke of Chi's Mansion suddenly received many invitations, and the header of each invitation looked very interesting:

Uncle Chi Datong

Cousin Chi Han Feng

Chi Aotian's nephew

Amy's nephew

Child: Daqingshan

Mr. Ah Feng

Mr. Locke

Mr. Horns

Mr. Regar

Sacred Dragon Green

And there is only one person in the signature: Redstone. The content of the invitation is also very simple: invite you to the royal palace for a family dinner.

Lu'er grabbed the invitation card and sniffed it over and over again, her eyes revealing the spirit of a lizard, and Chi Hanfeng's first reaction was: Hongmen banquet and broken intestine rice will definitely not be delicious. Of course, as soon as this statement came out, he was slapped on the back of the head by Duke Chi. Let everyone else who is chatting with you laugh.

It turned out that Chi Hanfeng was a malicious attack. The Red Stone Emperor was a very hospitable host, in the garden of the palace, he set up two tables of wine banquets, during which he took the wind for Ah Feng, Locke, Amy and others one by one, and publicly said: Many years ago, he very much hoped to transfer the two excellent captains known as the Great Millstone of the Imperial Frontier to be promoted back to Dìdū to be promoted to generals, but due to the begging tower incident, the two captains disappeared almost at the same time, which is really a pity. I didn't expect that after many years, my cousin and the sister-in-law of the captain of the glacier infantry could appear in front of me again, and since Amy was also one of his relatives, it was something to be very happy about. At the same time, my cousin's descendant disciple can become a holy dragon knight, which is the credit of my cousin's teaching, and it is also the result of the help of the national teacher Lei Ge, A-level mercenaries Ah Feng, and Locke, so please come and express your gratitude together.

Both Amy and Da Qingshan felt that Hongshi was the same as Yi Su III, and that kind of royal demeanor was really not something that ordinary people could imitate.

Of course, no one knew that in the main hall of the palace, a black figure whispered a few words to the guards and flashed into the council hall, which was used as a trial hall during the day.
