Chapter 6 – The Dragon Cavalry (IV)
———————————————————
Yin Zhu smiled and said, “What is there to be grateful for. I merely spoke what was on my mind, that’s all. This dragon cavalry is indeed tyrannical. Especially that Dragon Cavalry Commander, who tried to order us around. The Milan Dragon Cavalry located in the Wavast kingdom’s national capital is quite arrogant; when they are in the Milan Empire, I suppose they would even ask for the sky?”
Ge En sighed and said, “Younger brother, ah, I don’t even know what to say! The dragon cavalry’s status on the continent is second only to mages. A Dragon Cavalry Commander’s rank is even higher than that of mages; only the higher ranked mages can be said to be in the same social cla.s.s as them. The strength of the dragon cavalry could be used as an official measure of a country’s strength. That hundred dragon cavalrymen squadron earlier could even contend against a legion of ten thousand regular heavy cavalrymen.”
Yin Zhu nodded and replied, “Earlier that Viscount was indeed quite strong, but are all the Dragon Cavalry Commanders that difficult to deal with?”
Ge En said, “He’s not really considered to be difficult to deal with. No matter what country, the dragon cavalry cla.s.sification is the same. Ten people make up a small dragon cavalry squad, and a hundred people make up a medium-sized company. There is a thousand units to a regiment and ten thousand to an army. Do you know why, out of the 8 countries, only Milan and Blue Dias are considered empires while the other 6 are only kingdoms? It is because Milan and Blue Dias both possess a dragon cavalry army. Relatively speaking, the Milan Dragon Cavalry army is the strongest on the continent. Precisely because of their existence, the Northern Wasteland beastmen don’t dare to step beyond the determined boundary. That Ao Si Ding just now is a Silver Star Dragon Cavalry Commander. Under him is the Dragon Cavalry small team captain, and above him is the Dragon Cavalry Regiment Commander, the Gold Star Dragon Cavalry Commander, and the Violet Star Dragon Cavalry Army Commander. A Silver Star Dragon Cavalry Commander has Cyan Rank strength while a Gold Star Dragon Cavalry Commander is at least a primary level Indigo Rank. A Violet Star Dragon Cavalry Commander is a Violet Rank War Master. It is said that the Violet Star Dragon Cavalry Commander rides a strong rank 9 gigantic dragon. Even a Gold Star Dragon Cavalry Commander rides a genuine dragon and not a tamed one. Within the Dragon Cavalry Army, the common dragon cavalryman needs to be of intermediate level Orange Rank strength or higher and must possess a tamed dragon as well. Furthermore, they must have a n.o.bility t.i.tle of knight or higher. Because of this extremely stringent selection, the ranked individuals were highly terrifying. Even if they are only common soldier without a rank, everyone, without exception, can be proud because they have entered the Dragon Cavalry Army. If I had this green ridgeback earth dragon 10 years ago, maybe I could have also become a Dragon Cavalry Army Soldier.”
“So it’s like this. Individual strength in addition to a dragon mount, no wonder the dragon cavalry can be so strong.” Yin Zhu pensively thought, ‘It’s a pity I’m a mage. If I could ride a gigantic dragon, it would feel amazing.’
After the earlier great wave pa.s.sed through, the Iron Brambles Mercenary Company once again set off. In everyone’s mind, An Ya’s ident.i.ty had became even more mysterious; it was unlikely she could continue to be considered as an ordinary employer.
The rest of the journey was smooth traveling. Ten days later, the Iron Brambles Mercenary Company finally escorted An Ya and her goods to Milan Empire’s capital, Milan City.
As they were about to enter the city, the Iron Brambles Mercenary Company, who were escorting the goods, was met by a reception of a dozen youths wearing black clothing. They did not know when An Ya had notified them, but these people were clearly her subordinates.
“Yin Zhu, are you really unable to play a song for your elder sister?” An Ya somewhat hopefully looked at Yin Zhu.
Yin Zhu shook his head and replied, “Can’t, I already promised Uncle Ge En that I would go with them and help upgrade their mercenary company to D rank. Anyway, the Milan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Arts is right outside Milan City. In the future, if I get the opportunity, I will surely find you. Elder sister An Ya, thank you for taking care of me this whole journey and for teaching me so many things.”
An Ya’s eyes revealed a faint trace of sadness. Looking at her, the black clothed subordinates’ hearts secretly felt surprised. They had never seen their beautiful boss display this kind of expression towards a member of the male s.e.x.
