------------------[PART3: Organization and Military Strength]------------------
====================
3/01: Military Situation: Knights of Pantorakon
3/01/01: Military Situation: Knights of Pantoraken (1): Overview
Pantorakan's armed group is similar to a country's army.
The Knights are divided into four branches: Knights of Eastguards, Knights of Southguards, Knights of Westguards, and Knights of Northguards.
This establishment is mainly to effectively organize the border guard work to fight against the enemies who often invade the Pantorakan border: the Huns from the dark regions of the interior of Europe in the east, the Kraken in the west, and Thule in the south.
people, and Viking pirates from the northern ice ocean.
The Knights are divided into six knight classes, from lowest to highest: Bronze Knight, Iron Knight, Silver Knight, Gold Knight, Gaia Knight, and Knight
The leader of the regiment, Celestral Knight.
3/01/02: Military Situation: Knights of Pantoracon (2): Organization of the Knights
Bronze Knights are trainee knights who undertake team patrols during non-war periods to maintain regional stability. Twelve Bronze Knights form a small team, and the leader of the team is a Black Iron Knight.
The Black Iron Knight is the lowest-ranking knight who has been decorated. He serves as the captain of the team. In addition to leading patrols, he also performs various tasks of training trainee knights. During the war, twelve Black Iron Knights and the teams they lead form a squadron.
, and a Silver Knight served as the captain.
The Silver Knight is a mid-level knight, and will generally be awarded a title no lower than a Viscount when he is promoted. When there is a mission, the Silver Knight can mobilize the knights of his twelve squads, which is a maximum of (12x12+12=156)
Knights carry out missions. During the war, 12 Silver Knights and their squadrons formed a brigade, with a Golden Knight serving as the captain. The Silver Knight was actually a very high-level knight, and many knights could not climb the ladder after struggling all their lives.
To reach such a high position, only a few elites can climb up from apprentice knights without being hereditary.
The Golden Knight can be said to be a senior general in the Knights. Generally, he will be awarded a title no lower than that of a Marquis when he is promoted. When accepting a mission, the Golden Knight can mobilize twelve squadrons under him, up to (12x12x12+12
=1,740) knights. During war, 12 golden knights and their cohorts formed a battalion, led by a Gaia knight.
The Knights of Gaia are equivalent to the knights' advisers. They are usually awarded a title no lower than an earl when they are promoted. There are only a few of them in a knights' order. During the war, they lead a group of twelve
A battalion consisting of two companies fights, which is a maximum of (12x12x12x12+12=20736) knights.
In fact, as staff officers, there are also some Gaia Knights who do not lead troops themselves, but stay in the rear and use military tactics to direct the battle. They are called "Honorary Gaia Knights". The position of Gaia Knights cannot be hereditary, at least You need to upgrade from the Golden Knight, and there is a series of very strict assessments.
A celestial knight is the leader of a knighthood, the strongest being in a knighthood. A celestial knight generally has a title no lower than that of a duke, or even worse, is given the title of a grandduke. There are only four knights in Pantoraken. In other words, during the same historical period, there were only four heavenly knights in Pantoraken, leading the Eastern Heaven, Western Heaven, Southern Heaven and Northern Heaven Knights respectively. Without the king , there is only Pantorakon in the Parliament, and the four-day Heavenly Knights are like four kings. They only obey the orders of the Parliament, but they have the freedom to command their own knights to act independently on the battlefield. Therefore, the people will also arbitrarily control the Heavenly Knights. The knights are called "Four Kings", "Four Heavenly Kings", or "Monarchs of the Four Directions". Those who can become heavenly knights are the best in history, and their names can be engraved in the Hall of Heroes in the Holy Camelot of the Imperial Capital. of.
Like the Knights of Gaia, the Celestial Knights are not hereditary. To climb to such a high position, one must at least start from the Golden Knights and go through decades of training. Therefore, there has never been anyone in history who can become a Knight before the age of forty. A person who becomes a Heavenly Knight. Historical records record that the youngest Heavenly Knight when he took office was Uther Pantorakon, who was only forty-two years old when he took office.
3/01/03:Military Situation: Knights of Pantorakon(3):Equipment
In addition to the standard weapons issued by the knights (photon sword, photon armor, light gun), black iron knights and above can have mounts, small photon gunboats called Stellriders.
The standard cavalry is limited to 2 people, has very high maneuverability, and is equipped with powerful photon shields and photon cannons. However, Pantorakon's knights generally focus on defense and focus the main energy output of the cavalry on the photon shield. The shield is on, so the mobility of the iron cavalry is generally not high. In history, few desperate knights can turn off the shield and survive in the hail of bullets in the melee, so it is almost an unchanging habit of the knights to open the shield on the iron cavalry.
In addition to standard equipment, Gaia Knights and Celestial Knights can also apply for the use of the [Dragcorider], which is more advanced than the Iron Cavalry. It is an improved machine of the Iron Cavalry and is one level superior to the Iron Cavalry in all aspects of capabilities.
By the way, the standard equipment of the Knights is very expensive. The standard lightsaber of the Black Iron Knight is 1,000 Pantorakin gold coins (equivalent to the price of a small anti-gravity airship for civilians at the time), and the armor is Five thousand gold coins (equivalent to the price of a standard building of 100 square meters for private citizens at that time), while a cavalry reached a sky-high price of 10,000 gold coins. This huge sum of money is almost impossible for ordinary people to earn in their lifetime, so stealing It is a capital offense to take the equipment of the knights. Knights will also be severely punished if they lose or seriously damage the equipment without any reason.
The funds for the equipment of the Knights are provided by the Parliament. The Parliament is also the immediate boss of the Knights.
====================
3/02 Military Situation: French Knights
3/02/01: Military Situation: French Knights (1): Overview
Unlike the Knights of Pantoracion, who are responsible for both resisting foreign enemies and maintaining domestic security, the French Knights have a clear division of labor in internal and external duties. The "Knights of the Shield" are responsible for maintaining domestic security and playing a security role.
, and the "Knights of the Sword" who are responsible for resisting foreign enemies and playing a military role.
The equipment of the Knights of the Sword is almost the same as that of the Knights of Pantorakon, but the Knights of the Shield only have relatively basic equipment and are not equipped with iron cavalry. Therefore, the operating expenses and entry threshold of the Knights of the Shield are relatively low, and
This results in uneven combat effectiveness and low overall strength. However, relatively speaking, the number of knights of the Knights of the Shield has a clear advantage.
Among the French Knights, there is also a royal guard dedicated to the king, the "Knights of the Rose", which is a small number of elite troops.
====================
3/03: Organization: Mage Association
3/03/01: Organization: Mages Guild (1): Overview
The history of the Mage Association is actually divided into the Old Mage Association and the New Mage Association.
The Old Mage Association was founded around 6000 BC. At that time, the research on magic was still in its primitive stage. There were very few people who could use magic, and they generally relied on the talent of the caster. Those who had no understanding of the photon theory
Ordinary people call these people who can use magic "witches" and "witches". They often search for magicians in fear and burn the captured magicians at the stake.
The organization that magicians gathered to form in order to protect themselves was the prototype of the old Mage Association.
The Old Mage Association is a non-public organization that meets secretly to promote the exchange of magic research while avoiding the pursuit of the Heretic Inquisitors. As the Old Mage Association gradually took shape, the ancient and great mages created the Ivory Tower (Arch Mage).
The basic structure of the ivory tower. From its architecture to its internal composition, the ivory tower has been continuously refined over thousands of years until modern times.
The property they passed on to the new Mage Association was not only the iconic building protected by powerful magic, but also a large number of ancient and mysterious magic, as well as a complete and orderly system. It can be said that the old Mage Association left it to future generations.
Each of our legacies is a priceless treasure.
The New Mage Association was established around 1500 BC. The mages who were reborn after the "Lost Millennium" inherited most of the legacy of the old Mage Association. The reorganized association no longer had its former glory. But the experience
After nearly two thousand years of development, it is still an unshakable and powerful organization in Europe.
The New Mage Association is basically "self-operated", relying on lending magicians to complete commissions and drawing commissions to obtain huge financial income. The New Mage Association is not owned by any country in Europe, and those who have joined the New Mage Association
Mages can be said to be people without borders.
For the European countries with huge armies, the New Mage Association is just a minority group, but the power of the mages still makes European countries avoid them. It can be said that the European countries and the New Mage Association use each other and at the same time
