The departure time of Amy and his party was delayed for three days, mainly because Prince Tiedou's staff needed to arrange enough fleets for the small mercenary group. At this time, it was the cold winter, and ordinary ships could not travel at all, so they almost had to mobilize
The large oak ships that have arrived at all ports have just arranged 4,500 mercenaries.
When Prince Tiedu saw him off, he asked Amy to represent Emperor Redstone and the Imperial Military. 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. These veterans have the largest number.
It only takes three months to regain its peak combat power. During the same period, the Northern Federation will also recruit 60,000 regular troops and 60,000 swordsman battalions. I believe that such news will bring some comfort to the stormy imperial superstructure.
The few ice-free ports on the frozen continent are all in the territory of the Holy See on the south side of the continent. Now that the two countries have completely turned against each other, the mercenaries have to risk their lives to board the big ship from the ice, starting at 6 a.m.
After boarding the ship, it was not until it was completely dark in the afternoon that everyone boarded the ship. During this process, four teenagers lost their footing and fell into the cracks in the ice and were squeezed to death. The tragic atmosphere surrounded the teenagers from beginning to end.
From the moment you board the ship, the hardest part is for Mr. Lu'er. He has to take off at least four times a day and fly within hundreds of nautical miles around the fleet to prevent enemy invasion. Now the cadres of the small mercenary group have no idea about the law.
The North soldiers and the Holy See felt somewhat like being bitten by a snake once and fearing the rope for ten years. 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. Moreover,
Each time was fatal. In the past two times, although the small mercenary group was recruited, their luck was pretty good. They were able to escape death every time. Will good luck come for the third time?
At this time, Amy, Daqingshan, including Horns as far away as Hamburg City, really slept with one eye open. Amy also truly understood what it meant to be a general, as if walking on thin ice, as if facing an abyss.
Trembling."
On the first day of the fleet's approach to the continent of Eminor, two young phantom beast knights from the empire flew down from the cliff.
According to the two teenagers, after Daqingshan left Hamburg, the Red Stone Emperor and his ministers began to prepare for the dragon sealing ceremony. This was also the first dragon sealing ceremony in the history of the empire - the founding emperor had already thought of everything for his descendants.
The only way to make a comeback after a crisis is that in the history of the empire, the fate of the country has never been so hung up on the breath.
The Red Stone Emperor carefully read through the dragon-sealing information left by his ancestors. It was written in quite detail. In the dragon-sealing book, every dragon who was willing to settle in the Dragon Garden had left its right claw on the gold foil.
Seal - This means that the dragon will definitely implement the items listed in the "Dragon Sealing Book".
There are the following clear terms in the Dragon Sealing Book:
★When one of the following great changes occurs in the Amy Empire, the dragon can be sealed:
The imperial capital was conquered
king assassinated
Thirty percent of the country was lost
★In the dragon sealing ceremony, ten times more noble knights must be provided for the dragon clan to choose from.
★The following races are not allowed to appear among the dragon knights participating in the Dragon Sealing: Berserkers, dwarves, gnomes, orcs, half-orcs, night elves, elves and all Alcatraz races. Women are also not allowed to appear.
★Those who participate in the Dragon Sealing must be able to withstand the three group tests of the dragon.
★Those who participate in the Dragon Sealing Competition must be able to defeat the Earthly Dragon - the Swift Dragon - with force.
★In the dragon sealing ceremony, the royal family can designate one royal person who can meet the appeal conditions as the required choice for the dragon clan.
★The contract to seal a dragon is valid for twenty years. After twenty years, regardless of whether the empire recovers or not, the dragon has the right to return to the Dragon Garden; and, a dragon that has completed the dragon sealing ceremony will not fulfill its obligations to seal the dragon for the second time within a hundred years.
★While the dragon is living in the Dragon Garden, the descendants it raises do not need to perform any obligations until they reach the fourth level. If they reach the fourth level, they can choose whether they are willing to participate in the Dragon Sealing Ceremony.
★All knights participating in the Dragon Sealing Ceremony must be familiar with and willing to fulfill the Dragon Knight Code. Otherwise, the dragon has the right to leave the Dragon Knight after the Dragon Sealing Ceremony.
After all, this is the first time in the history of the empire. Especially for the important civil and military ministers of the empire other than the Red Stone Emperor, most people only know that there is a dragon seal, but most of them don’t know what the conditions are and how to proceed.
I know. After reading the contents of the Dragon Sealing Book, even the many generals in the military department sighed softly: It seems that such a noble title as Dragon Knight is not open to everyone after all. Xunlong can
It is said to be the most difficult to deal with among the earthly dragons. It is as fast as thunder and its two sharp front claws can even tear the skin of a rhinoceros. Even the phantom beast knight can hardly defeat it with the help of the phantom beast.
It took Emperor Hongshi and many ministers more than twenty days to finalize the candidates to participate in the Dragon Sealing Ceremony. The main reason is that the Imperial Dragon Garden has developed rapidly in the past hundred years. If the calculation is correct, there should be five people by now.
There are eleven first-order dragons, eighteen fourth-order dragons, and twenty-nine third-order dragons and below. If dragons below third-order do not participate in the dragon sealing ceremony, there are still twenty-nine dragons, seven of which
Each dragon already has its corresponding dragon knight, and 220 dragon knight candidates need to be selected - even if one of the dragons is designated to select a member of the royal family, 210 knights will still need to be found. Only
It was only at this time that I deeply realized the lack of strength of the Imperial Knights.
After experiencing the bloody night in the imperial capital, the Red Stone Emperor and the imperial ministers became more or less suspicious. Originally, logically, there were two best ways to select a dragon knight: the army and the nobles. In the regular army of the empire, ordinary soldiers
Those who have been promoted step by step to guerrilla officers have considerable combat power. Logically speaking, it should not be difficult to kill a dragon. In addition, most nobles, especially the big nobles in the Gyeonggi region, have very strict requirements for their children, and they often follow
He began to learn fencing at the age of four, and entered the junior knight school at the age of six. He spent two months every year as a squire for the knights in the army. He entered the intermediate knight school at the age of ten, and by this time he had begun to actually enter the military camp and participate in some small activities.
Large-scale battles; around the age of sixteen, ordinary young nobles will receive their first knight title in their lives and enter the high-level knight school. Some outstanding performers can even graduate from the high-level knight school at the age of sixteen and seek employment in the regular army of the empire.
Quite a position.
However, in the bloody night of the imperial capital, Gyeonggi General Chi Hanfeng and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Empire's Colorful Dragon Knights used their blood to draw a huge question mark: Are the current nobles and even the army really reliable? Even the Burmese Empire and Delaware's
Even high-ranking nobles can be bribed, how can other small nobles... Moreover, more news has come back. The shameless Pope has consecrated more than 20 thrones in a row in the past month, among which 99% of the crown princes are counted.
A few months ago, they were all loyal nobles of the Amy Empire. If they still sealed dragons to the noble class, maybe...it would increase the enemy's combat power.
In this way, although no one said it without understanding the current affairs, everyone already understood it tacitly when discussing the list.
The first batch of confirmed lists was confirmed in less than three hours.
The emperor himself must be regarded as the designated member of the royal family. Prince Tiedou was originally a dragon knight, so his name can be crossed out. Among the half-brothers of the Red Stone Emperor, there were two others who were famous for their bravery. Unfortunately, during the bloody night in the imperial capital , were all lost in the imperial capital, and may now be prisoners or even deceased.
There is no objection to the names of Amy, the leader of the small mercenary group, and Chi Changyun, the general of Tongyunguan. As Chi Hanfeng's nephew, there is no question about the loyalty of these two people.
The name of Earl Linhe was also approved immediately. There is no controversy about the name of Fan Zijue. Although this man is usually very unpopular, if this man really has his heart, he has had too many opportunities since the fall of the imperial capital. .If such people are not selected, it will definitely make most soldiers feel cold.
Someone whispered a name: "Horns." The Red Stone Emperor didn't even raise his head, and tapped the clause marked dwarves in the Dragon Sealing Book with his hand.
The general of the Jielin Theater, Marquis Nord, is already in his fifties. I don’t know if he can still defeat Xunlong, but his name should still be written down. It would be a pity if the old soldier really still has such fighting power and loses the election. .
After the Blood Night in the Imperial City, there are only fifteen fantasy beast knights left as the personal bodyguards of the Red Stone Emperor. They are undoubtedly extremely reliable.
Emperor Hongshi casually added another person's name: Long. Many ministers glanced at each other. Most of them didn't even know who this person was, but since His Majesty was so solemn, there was no need to ask more.
In view of the outstanding performance of the small mercenary group in previous battles, and it turned out that Fanos and the Holy See had very little penetration into the Frozen Continent, the small mercenary group from the Ice and Snow Continent immediately took away the largest number on the Dragon Sealing List. A piece of cake - Fifty young men from the Ice and Snow Continent were sent by a small mercenary group, or at least those who have experienced two of the three battles of Xilin Island, Duanbing Port, and Hamburg City to participate in this dragon sealing.
Most of the more than 40 nobles who accompanied the emperor to Hamburg did not meet the standards. However, the emperor said that each family could recommend a direct nephew to participate in the dragon sealing ceremony.
After this calculation, 60% of the list has been confirmed.
For the remaining 40%, the Red Stone Emperor sent the Phantom Beast Knight to notify Viscount Fan, Marquis Nord, General Chi Hantong, and General Chi Changyun. Each theater proposed 20 candidates. Among them, General Chi Hantong represented the northern area. The federation will submit 20 more candidates - selected from the northern federal army under its command. The proposed candidates will arrive in Hamburg within 40 days, and the Redstone Emperor and the military will again select the outstanding candidates to participate in the dragon sealing ceremony.
According to this ratio and screening method, even if the Burmese Empire and the Holy See have worked hard behind the scenes, there will probably be no more than 20 people who can finally enter the dragon sealing ceremony. After being selected by the dragon, there should not be too many error.
The most important of these is of course the leader of the small mercenary group, Amy, who does not love the country but loves beauty. After all, according to the proportion, Amy may have more than five dragon knights under his subordinates. As for Amy, Your Excellency... The Red Stone Emperor and several military bosses have never worried about it. With Amy's combat power, and possessing such a blue meteorite giant sword as a magic weapon hand-crafted by the Creator God, she has also furiously killed gods from other worlds. , having defeated the evil dragon Yin Feng, it can be said that he has unlimited prestige. The only worry of the empire's monarchs and officials is that what if all the dragons are optimistic about Sir Amy, and the dragons finally fight?
For ordinary brave men, becoming a dragon knight is a supreme honor, but for a brave man like Amy, being able to become Amy's mount dragon is the supreme honor of a giant dragon. I just don't know which dragon will be the last one.
Able to defeat all the dragons and win in the end.
Amy listened to two teenagers of the same age talking about internal information casually in the cabin. She pointed at the tea with a wry smile: "You two drink tea slowly. It's better not to say this out loud. You must know that the Dragon Clan's understanding and needs of humans are different from humans.
My own views may be completely different. For some dragons who like to eat human flesh, they might like to choose dragon knights with more tender meat. Besides, if such words spread, what if... I don't bathe often, and in the end I don't get...
The hearts of the dragons, then... I have to jump off the cliff."
The two teenagers could never imagine that the famous Lord Amy would say such a thing, and they didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Okay, I won't leave two more people here." Amy stood up to see off the guests: "Please help me play the Red Stone Emperor when you go back. The candidates for the small mercenary group will be drawn up by Mr. Horns, and Da Qingshan will lead them.
The newly recruited young mercenary members returned to Hamburg City, and I and other young mercenary members went directly to Messis Peak to participate in the dragon sealing ceremony."
Seeing the two fantasy beast knights soaring into the sky, Lord Amy turned back to the many eager young mercenary members behind him and said with a smile: "Now we have to see which one of you is better at flattering Horns."
