Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
In stories about legends, the weather was typically nothingevents
A sunny day would symbolize a hero’s journey about to start An ancient castle surrounded by dark clouds was the very symbol of an evil scheme The climax would usually have some thunderclaps even if there were zero clouds in the sky
Reality wasn’t anywhere near so draht because vision would be the best True scheardens Not much usually went on when the weather was foul, as everyone would be holed up in their warm homes
However, sometimes mortals wouldn’t have any choice in the hly motivated
Rain was quite coe to suht now We were currently heading for the location where Dragon Knight Ehtrain Fortress
Dark clouds covered the sky above us A sudden torrential downpour paired with strong winds obstructed us fro as well as ruined the visibility
We had left Bardi’s capital one week ago This “allied arun a second ainst the undead
The weather turned rather foul less than two days after we set out The torrential downpours greatly slowed down the arather h the clouds Our luck was truly terrible
Nore, buton the battlefield They were in great discoolden-armored warriors in the very front norold warriors under the sun’s illumination
Their weapons were enhanced with adaolden paint was actually a highly valuable adanore any regular arrows
Their standard weapons were heavy spears which were al, paired with a tower shi+eld that was also coated in expensive adaically enchanted by grandmasters
The spears would be enchanted with “Sharpness” and “Armor Pierce” The solid tower shi+elds would be enchanted with “Resist Magic” and “Sturdy Defense” The spears’ tips also had spiraling ic runes, while the tower shi+elds had a lion and cross eift from Bardi’s royal family Just the worth of one spear and shi+eld alone would be h for a mercenary to work their entire life for
The ugly dragonhead hel covered in adamantite-coated armor all over meant that these warriors were even sturdier than iants This armor focused on practicality first and foreon scales, which could be used to block powerful impacts and stab attacks
These troops were known as Bardi’s royal dragon knights Although it was quite an ordinary na history that had continued through the ages
Although they were known as dragon knights, they were actually pure infantry Their arons would be unable to handle their weight
Being able to use such equiph and had enough of a power level on average 10 years ago, this had been a scary group of warriors ere all at the peak of Gold
Another one of their roles could explain how special they were—they were one of Bardi’s royal knight squadrons
Each country’s royal knight squadron was typically the country’s ace troop type and rasp on the royal knight squadron, ould act both as royal guards and the final sharpest blade to fight against rebellion or external eneon knights However, the royal dragon knights, who nuhts
The royal dragon knights and dragon knights were just two out of three of Bardi’s royal knight squadrons Auland didn’t have enough foundational power, so they were still constructing a new royal knight squadron The Mist Alliance still had to use a ht squadron Meanwhile, the ancient eth that their three ’s shi+eld”, “Bardi’s Wings”, and “Milan’s Whip”, were all at the peak of human power in historical power as well as individual power
Yes, that was right, only the peak of hu dragons’ strength to huon knights were known as “Bardi’s Wings”, the leading royal knight squadron out of Bardi’s three royal knight squadrons Since the other two royal knight squadrons were able to equal it in status, reaching the point where the proud dragons wouldn’t be displeased and challenge the others, it was already the best proof of the other two royal knight squadrons’ power level
Hue balance of power… so basically mass-production and standardization
Elven archers, es, and so on would always have massively different personal traits and power types The long years would help them all to learn their own specialties, and they would be better at fighting as individuals in guerilla style warfare
Meanwhile, human warriors only had several years or a bitas they took a path that had been repeatedly proven before, their growth rate would be several ti such a path would make human warriors’ power become more simplistic compared to warriors from other species, but human warriors could utilize equipment which would ths Since practical strength was everything on the battlefield, a human’s poouldn’t be any worse than that of a 100-year-old warrior from another species
At the very least, even the dwarves’ most elite braided warriors ere all over a century old wouldn’t dare to forcefully charge at the royal dragon knights’ forhts had outstanding attack and defense They were all elite warriors ere chosen as one out of 10,000 These warriors were slow and heavy tanks that were iet withintechniques and cultivation shortcuts alongside specialized elite equip such a troop type This hy humans were able to create standardized powerful troop types
Perhaps using the term “mass-produced” would cheapen such troop types, so the word “inheritance” wouldhere
The alche adamantite, and countless other industrial and craftsmanshi+p techniques would be accuolden armor, silver horse armor, and cool spears
Meanwhile, ies’ inheritance was even eneration, passing on the inheritance Veteran knights would pass on their combat experience and techniques that they were proudest of They would also record their own thoughts about using their weapons Anything worth standardizing would become popular The juniors would then use the veterans’ “ultimate techniques” to learn as the very basics, and then develop new “ultimate techniques” from that
As this inheritance was passed on through the generations, it was only natural that the royal dragon knights would becoer the history of a knight squadron, the more powerful its inherited techniques would be This wasn’t because they would have some ancient secret technique, but rather because tih techniques into exquisitely practical and wondrous techniques Huured out all sorts ofonly the shortest and most efficient path
Those who hid away in forests and ure out their own techniques would usually have techniques that seemed beautiful but would never be as useful as plainer techniques which had been well-used in the battlefield for thousands of times already
What was an inheritance? This was an inheritance Every generation would learn, and every generation’s juniors would keepon their predecessors’ shoulders It was only natural that they would becoer
It was said that the golden royal dragon knights’ history was just as long as Bardi’s Every single ht title which could be inherited If any royal dragon knight died in the line of duty, their children would be able to choose to inherit the noble title and duty It would be possible for one set of arenerations, having experienced countless grandmasters’ repairs and buff effects
The children of such families would know their duties from theat three years old, and train in the tower shi+eld starting at five years old Only after undergoing countless processes of eliolden royal dragon knight
A spear and shi+eld, one for attack and one for defense This seemed really simple, but really relied on true skills
Out of all the high-level troop types, the royal dragon knights probably had the least and simplest equip’s shi+eld” royal dragon knights could be ranked in the top 10 of all huht orders, no matter if it was in historical achievements or actual power level
In this current generation, the royal dragon knights even faintly seeht order, the “Bardi’s Wings” dragon knights Of course, that would only be the dragon knights froo
Of Bardi’s three hts were royal guards in na the borders against foreign invasions, so they couldn’t be withdrawn Thus, only the “Dragon King’s shi+eld” royal dragon knights would guard the capital city and act as the emperor’s most trusted ace
This ti he had
There were 13,000 royal dragon knights in total 11,000 royal dragon knights had co behind only the oldest soldiers ere now teachers and the newest recruits who had less than three months of experience Even fresh soldiers who had only co had been sent out on this can This could basically be considered the full force
This heavy infantry squadronAll that could be heard was their heavy footsteps due to the heavy equipht to the death and never retreat”
This was the royal dragon knights’ combat motto and style
