499 Black Flag
Qingyue's horn sound, soothing as a shallow river, seems to be gradually fading away, but it has not stopped, leaving only a mellow timbre, which accumulates and precipitates in people's ears. (23[x]
The drums of war were even more shocking to the heart, and the sound of drums and drums all gathered together to create a distinct rhythm, echoing the heartbeat of everyone, echoing the pulse of the earth, and echoing the highest and loudest thunder.
Thunder, ringing.
On the east side of the square, at the entrance, dozens of wide flags were suddenly raised, waving left and right, like undulating clouds.
The entrance to the square, which was ten feet wide, was large enough for dozens of horsemen to charge, and now, at the end of the passage, there was a sudden sound of neat horses' hooves, followed by a rolling golden red.
"Cavalry?" In front of the White Tower, Grand Duke Ian opened his mouth and subconsciously asked. Although he was timid and cowardly, he also knew that Snowton was famous for his hussars, so if he unveiled his cards at the beginning, how could the parade continue.
"It's a knight. Inedil frowned slightly and corrected casually.
The first cavalry units to be inspected were all dressed in gilded armor, covered with scarlet cloaks, armed with stabbing spears, pennants hanging from the tips of the spears, and embroidered family insignia, indicating that each of them had a formal rank of nobility.
Generally speaking, as long as there are horses to assist the warrior in battle, it can be called a cavalry, but as a title under the knight, "knight" is not only a military concept, but also the most basic component of the aristocracy.
Once, the Snowton Empire was known as the "Four Great Knights", and it was invincible in the 6 largest ranks. But among them, there is only one that can really deserve the title of "Knights". Of course. It's not that the strength of the other troops is weak, but only all the members who have the title of "knight" are qualified to be called "knights", otherwise, at best, they are just a ragtag army.
Even the so-called "Knights Templar". There are also many members who were temporarily promoted to the rank of Papal Knight before taking the oath to join.
However, "Hibiscus" is different.
This force, which was directly loyal to the Snowton royal family, each member of which came from a noble family, was a veritable "knight" regiment. Most of them practice family martial arts that have been passed down from generation to generation, and only after they have achieved something can they replace the place of their elders. Officially join the "Golden Hibiscus" and become a member of this Snowton ace army.
The lofty status, exquisite cooperation, and outstanding personal qualities have made the name "Hibiscus" resounding all over the world, and it has always been one of Snowton's killer features, and it has been for a long time. As the benchmark of the emperor's ** team, it exists zĂ i.
Today, the "Hibiscus" Knights. It was also the first unit to be reviewed.
With the president leading Agassi, 5,000 knights formed a perfect cone-shaped charging formation. They were straight, their spears were raised high, and the pennant was flying. Five thousand red huss horses, clothed in iron half-length armor. Guided by the rhythmic sound of war drums, we approached the entrance of the square.
In this short distance, the knights showed excellent military qualities, and the iron hooves the size of bowls lifted and fell, kicking in unison. Even the order of the front and rear feet is not out of order.
In the last thirty steps, Agassi drew his long sword, and the sound was like an order.
Within a breath, five thousand bayonets fell in unison, poking forward, and the roaring beast revealed its sharp claws.
At the same time, the drums are getting more and more intensive, and the horse's hooves are rising and falling more frequently. The war horse that walked in on small pieces instantly opened its body and galloped forward, like a long wind howling.
Five thousand knights, five thousand horses, but only one voice, one movement. Even in the high gallop, there is still no scattered trend. From static to moving, from slow to fast, that abrupt contrast, bursting out of thin air with an awe-inspiring murderous aura, people can see it from afar, and they can feel the shock for no reason.
"Horses are like dragons, and armies are like iron," said "Death Bell" in a low voice above the sky, "What a sharp knife." â
"Hibiscus!
The first unit to be inspected aroused the passion of the people, and this knight order, which has a long history and great military achievements, is also fully qualified to enjoy the enthusiastic cheers of the people.
On the platform on the left, under the banner embroidered with galloping horses, the "fire pattern hibiscus" military flag and the gold emblem of the red bottom were slowly raised, waving in the wind.
The golden-red iron streams poured into the square, and the restrained wings opened openly. The cone-shaped charge array was transformed into a Yan Ling shock array, and with a rapid momentum, it crossed half of the square in an instant, and reached the front of the central platform where Nacini was.
"Zheng".
Agassi put his sword into its sheath, and on top of his galloping horse, he calmly bowed down to his chest and bowed to the king. The five thousand knights behind him neatly erected their bayonet guns, and the tips of the spears trembled slightly, from left to right, cutting a curved half-arc, which was a "gun salute" that belonged to the knights.
The wild goose, spread its wings, swept over the central platform, turned diagonally, and left gracefully. There was no pause in the whole process, all the movements were completed on the galloping war horse, and the president led Agassi without even giving any orders.
"This is the number one army of the Empire," Nacini chuckled on the high platform, waving his hand to stop Modesic as she tried to speak, "Listen, you don't need to say much. â
Inside and outside the square, the call of "Golden Hibiscus Flower" has sounded wave after wave, so why do you need to bother to introduce the origin of their numbers?
The powerful and elegant "Hibiscus Flower" is still extraordinary even at the end of the review. In the process of leaving the square, they simply completed a clever queue change. People didn't see it clearly at all, and the wild goose feather array, which spread its wings and soared, had already turned into a neat quadrangular formation, stationed in the demarcated area on the west side of the square, stationed on standby.
"This kind of cooperation, this kind of army ......" In front of the White Tower, Innedir felt a little bitter in his mouth inexplicably, and he shook his head secretly, completely dispelling the idea of winning a decisive battle with Snowton in the field.
At the same time, a rare flag was quietly raised on the platform on the left.
Unlike other flags, which were pure black and devoid of any insignia, this army seemed confident enough that others could identify them with just a piece of black cloth.
At the sound of the drums, which slowed down again, at the end of the passage, a heavy cavalry force arrived.
Thousands of men and horses, all in heavy plate armor, looked like moving cast-iron hills. They marched on horseback at will, fast and slow, so they drew a straight line.
The second unit to be reviewed, appeared. (To be continued!)
