Among the three known continents, the countries of Eminor have the most and most proficient use of knight troops. Military experts such as wise generals, brave generals, and famous generals in the past have interpreted the principles of knight application through large-scale battles.
Incisively and vividly, similarly, among the countries on the Eminor continent, the treatment enjoyed by the knight troops is unmatched by other arms.
In the establishment of Eminor continental troops, knight troops can be roughly divided into two types:
Light cavalry units and light knights are mostly cavalry in the national army. Ordinary civilians may also become a member of the knights after joining the army. Of course, as cavalry without noble titles, they cannot be equipped with the standard knight armor of the empire.
with any special markings on it.
In the heavy cavalry unit, all heavy knights, without exception, have noble titles. Even if an ordinary knight has repeatedly made military exploits and is finally selected to join the heavy knight team, there must be a nobleman above the count before that.
On behalf of the king, he was awarded low-level noble titles such as "Knight of the Empire" or "Knight of the Blue Wing", and then he was qualified to join the heavy cavalry unit.
Completely different from the chain armor of ordinary knights, the lowest level of armor for heavy knights is also a large plate armor riveted from pieces of light steel plates. Among heavy knights from great aristocrats, even cast armor made of pure steel is not uncommon.
Knights who have been promoted to general or above in the empire will be eligible to receive cast armor melted with rare crystals personally awarded by the emperor. Even the longbowman with the most long-range lethality in the army must be within a distance of 30 meters.
It is possible to shoot through plate armor, and cast armor is simply an invulnerable steel block. The value of these armors is very high, and because everyone has different body types, it is quite time-consuming and troublesome to find different owners for the same set of heavy knight armor. Generally,
After retiring, the heavy knights can take away their armor as a testimony of their service - most of the heavy knights are nobles. For them, these armors with the family logo are themselves the belongings of their family.
Most of the horses of ordinary knights are covered with leather vests, which have some protection against ordinary attacks. The horses of heavy knights are completely pure steel armor. There are screw holes in the upper part of the vest, and the lower part of the knight's armor is screwed.
The wrenches are riveted together.
The fast-running heavy knights are like moving steel fortresses to the Eminor continent, which consists of a large area of plains. Their strategic and tactical values cannot be replaced by other arms.

On March 22nd, autumn of the fourth year of the Magical Calendar, exactly one month after the fascist Western Expeditionary Corps made a surprise attack on Xilin Island, the "Battle of the Bloody Lion River" broke out.
There is no wind in most mornings in the subtropics, and there is no coolness in autumn along the Lion River. The red sun has just risen from the eastern horizon, the black sun reflects the last ray of light on the western horizon, and the dew on the grassland turns into water vapor and rises into the sky.
Dahino and Fan Zijue coincidentally chose two small hillsides as their campsites. There was a flat grassland about 1,300 meters between the two hillsides. There were occasionally one or two short trees in the middle of the grassland. The timid antelope had already felt it.
What, far away from the grassland that was about to become a battlefield, peeking from a distance.
Almost at the same time, the camps of the two armies were boiling. The side doors on both sides of the central gate of the camp were opened at the same time. Several groups of light infantry rushed out of the camp and moved away the three obstacles composed of huge tree crowns and tree trunks in front of the camp.
Cavalry, heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, archers... filed out of the side door.
At 8 o'clock on March 22nd in autumn, twenty-nine thousand imperial soldiers saw the legendary ugly enemy for the first time. Standing at the front were centaur and half-horse archers, and behind the archers were a large group of dragons.
Knight; the violent earth dragon made a low roar from time to time, and the white air exhaled by the dragon beast faded above the army, gradually blending into the white clouds in the sky; behind the earth dragon army, there was a light cavalry unit, forming
Two huge phalanxes. If the enemy's formation is similar to that of the Empire, there should be 1,000 to 1,200 knights. Behind the knights are a dozen infantry phalanxes, at least a dozen. The hillside reaches its peak here.
Further away, there is a smooth downhill slope to the west. No matter how many troops there are, they can no longer be seen from the front... In the dry air, war horses and ground dragons are anxiously kicking on the slope, dusty
The air filled the air and submerged part of the army establishment.
Looking at the enemy who was a head taller than themselves - the enemy was rumored to be as strong as the vast land, the words similar to "Iron Horse" appeared in the minds of the imperial soldiers.
Compared with the enemy's majestic camp, all the officers above the squad leader could not figure out Fan Zijue's strange formation layout this time. The Furious Lion King's troops, which had the most combat effectiveness, were actually hidden at the back of the entire army, while behind the Fire Lion
The most proud heavy knights of the Flame Knights in the legion are actually mixed with 200 heavy knights from the noble private corps, and these miscellaneous heavy knights are also entrusted with important tasks and placed at the center of the entire knight army. In the originally red knight camp
The colors immediately became colorful, and all the heavy knights of the Flame Knights frowned. Although most of these beautiful heavy knights have higher noble titles, it is not difficult for experienced people to just casually glance at their mounts and see some details on the horseshoes.
The excess fat on the body parts is almost as much as its owner. It is doubtful whether such a mount or knight can maintain the charging speed to reach the enemy camp 1500 meters away, let alone war.
Suddenly there was a loud rumbling sound from behind the hill, and then giant wings flapped in the sky, roaring like wind and thunder from far and near. The white clouds on the hillside were shattered by the strong wind in an instant and scattered in all directions...
"Dragon——" The veteran in the imperial soldiers guessed the terrifying answer.
An adult golden dragon burst out of the sky from behind the hill. Every time its huge wings flapped, the white clouds in the sky danced wildly. The dragon's mouth spurted white breath, facing the rising sun, and its golden scales flashed with dazzling light.
Thousands of hexagonal rhinestones were flying in the sky. Behind the giant dragon, a griffon that looked thin compared to the giant beast spread its wings steadily, soaring in the air with the help of the wind and waves set off by the giant dragon.
The stone was thrown into the pool, causing ripples in the center of the imperial camp's frontline knights. The young knight pulled the reins, trying to calm his mount.
For those who want to fight, the most important thing is to attack the heart.
The general waved his hand gently, and the fantasy beast knights in the Fire Lion Legion took off one after another. They were lions, horses, eagles, ground dragons or sand lizards. More than 20 fantasy beast knights formed a wall in the air to resist the dragon beasts.
Psychological pressure comes from afar.
The giant dragon and griffon left their formation and came to the sky above the grassland. The dragon knight and the fantasy beast knight obviously wanted to say something. This is normal. In the prelude of most knights' wars, the nobles on both sides of the war are willing to
What to talk about before the battle? This is how a lot of classic words are handed down - in terms of actual effect, most of them are nutritious nonsense. They just give the nobles a chance to show their faces in front of everyone and show what they are like.
Who is on the side of the so-called truth? As for the impact on the war situation, it can basically be ignored.
Fan Zijue gave a helpless smile and asked several fantasy beast knights to accompany him for a conversation. Most of the middle and senior officers of the Fire Lion Legion knew that this was an eternal pain in Fan Zijue's heart. Fan Zijue's resume was extremely dazzling, and he was known for his outstanding performance.
He entered the army as a soldier, experienced dozens of battles, and made great achievements. However, his direct superior disliked his mouth that he never brushed his teeth. Therefore, he had no chance to enter the selection list of Phantom Beast Knights between the ages of 18 and 25. What's more,
He has no chance to meet the Fantasy Beast Knight. One of the seven major defense zone generals in the empire is not a Fantasy Beast Knight, which is unprecedented and extremely rare. This has even become an excuse for most nobles in the empire to comfort their children who are not living up to expectations: "Don't be discouraged, that's right.
Didn't ×× succeed? No matter how you fail, Fan Zijue will still fail, but he is not even a fantasy beast knight and can still be the general of the defense area. We believe that you can succeed." This is also Fan Zijue's new attitude towards the military department.
One of the main reasons why I never had a good impression of the Phantom Beast Knight.
More than 10 fantasy beast knights followed.
"Your Excellency, instead of tens of thousands of soldiers killing each other, it is better for us to have a contest and resolve this war once and for all." The domineering dragon knight dropped cold words condescendingly, and the pride of the dragon knight flashed behind the black crystal of the full-proof mask.
.
"Well, it's a good idea, but it seems unfair to me. After all, you are a dragon knight. How about you wait a few more days and I will transfer some dragon knights from the empire to accompany you? Your dragon is a male
Male or female? I can help you choose. What kind of dragon do you like?" Even when facing the dragon knight, Fan Zijue was still unwilling to give up his dirty humor.
The wise golden dragon immediately understood the well-intentioned and constructive opinions of human beings. Unfortunately, the arrogant dragon clan has always adhered to the principle of independent marriage. For this humble human being who is not his own parents dared to arrange a life-long event for him, the golden dragon was furious.
Furious, the golden head raised angrily, and the golden dragon's breath spurted out.
"Protect the General—" Several giant red shields pushed against the scorching heat, and a water shield immediately formed in front of the water-based fantasy beast, and the heat wave turned into water vapor.
"Well...I already suspect that the purpose of Knight Guilong sending me here is not to assassinate me in front of the formation."
The golden mask bounced up, and a cold and angry face behind the mask burned with the anger after the insult: "Your Excellency, the dignity of the dragon knight is inviolable. I can let you choose your opponent at will, and I will end it here now. I hope that
By limiting the number of comparisons, larger-scale fights can be avoided."
"Oh, I just understood your idea... I agree with you," Fan Zijue said with a look of realization on his face: "For the sake of fairness, let's do this. We will compete every day. You will send one person here, and I will
Send one person to the side, no duplication is allowed. I have a total of more than 29,000 soldiers here, and you estimate that they are about the same. In this way, we will be divided into high and low in about 80 years. Well, I miscalculated. If the score is very different
If so, they will be separated in about 40 years." A serious expression flashed across Fan Zijue's face.
The dragon knight and the griffin knight soared into the sky and returned to their team. The voice came from far away: "We are also descendants of the Eminor continent. We don't want the continent to lose too much vitality, but... idiots -"
"This guy is very polite. You should learn from it. You see, he didn't forget to tell his name when he left at the end." If there are three of us, we must have our teacher. Fan Zijue is very good at discovering the advantages of his opponent, while riding his horse back to the headquarters.
While educating his subordinates.
In the war between the gods, there were several famous mouths that never brushed their teeth. Fan Zijue and Yemoda were both among them. In the first confrontation, it seemed that Fan Zijue had taken a big advantage. Of course, one
As has been the case for hundreds of years, the war broke out after the generals' "good-faith discussions" yielded no results.

I can’t tell the master:
Some readers think that since I have published a book, I am deliberately delaying the online release of the book.
I think this is a misunderstanding. I promised everyone before that I would not delay Little Mercenary’s online publication of books under any circumstances—even if I don’t publish a paper book, I won’t hesitate.
Therefore, when negotiating a book deal, this was the last hurdle I strictly adhered to.
This is also true. So far, the publishers have not received as many chapters as you can see online.
Publishing books has been slow recently, mainly for two reasons:
1. I am too busy at work. The work on "Tianjiao - Qin Shang World" has just started. As an online reader, I must know the fierce competition in the domestic online game industry. It really needs to be described as "sailing against the current, or retreating if you don't advance".
.
Not only is the work at hand one after another, but what is more troublesome is that you need time to think about how to proceed next. This kind of thinking and writing a book are almost irreconcilable. And the past nearly 10 years of work experience have given me
I have professional ethics and it is impossible to neglect my work - this is not only a problem of my own income, but also a problem of the company's more than 40 employees and investors' investment. Professional ethics... Sigh. Therefore, I can only write a book every week at most.
Spend one day on the weekend and work overtime on the other day.
2. I wrote very smoothly before. I mainly told the story of a certain person or a few people. It was much easier to write. Moreover, there seemed to be no insurmountable barriers that were too high. Generally, one and a half hours of continuous writing and proofreading would cost 1800~
2000 words.
I have written about the war, my god, the pressure from "The War of the Knights" by Yamato is too great. Every time before I start writing, I will read some of Yamato's more exciting chapters. For every unit, every word
The thinking is almost pathological (this is about me, not to denigrate Yamada). Often a weekend is spent watering flowers, teasing dogs (and of course thinking about war scenes), and often not a single word can be put on paper during the week.
――“There is a view in front of you but you can’t say it, and the battle of Yama is above.” I even thought about whether I should stop writing it. Isn’t it said that incompleteness is the beauty?
In pain, I typed word by word. I have finished typing the next chapter, and I am still thinking about it. Please rate it - compared with other chapters, the next chapter is over 12,000 words long. It is three chapters of the ordinary chapter.
.I hope you can leave me a message directly at www.pinshu.com.
More clarification points, more mention of the difference between war scenes and other great war scenes.
