When the front began to make contact and fight with each other, the capital of Clancy was also busy and orderly deploying various materials and personnel, arranging training in various places, adding more reserves, and preparing for the next recruitment.
Loran Hill also participates in parliamentary affairs on a daily basis, helping to make suggestions and come up with solutions.
After finishing a day's work, the silver-haired girl would also talk with the old man who was temporarily staying in the palace to learn about the country's past, the current situation, etc.
The horizon was dotted with patches of purple-red sunset clouds. Inside a pavilion on the hillside of the royal palace, Loran Hill and Feherlang continued to reminisce about the past, while Palinsa served them some fruit. Outside the pavilion, on the hillside, two young people, a man and a woman, ran through the grass, overlooking the prosperous capital.
"Master Feihlang, you mentioned earlier that when the founding king, Roland, commanded the army, the Knights of Favonius, with their lances like a sea, formed a battle formation, and could even charge a Sequence 9?"
"I didn't expect that the sage would also be interested in such a legend." Fei Helang smiled and continued.
"I didn't witness that era myself, but I experienced the West Wind Rising, the famous Battle of Broken Bow."
"During the Battle of Broken Bow, the seven nations of Xuehua united, with a combined total of eight Sequence 9 Transcendents, and the Verdant Empire had approximately ten. However, everyone learned from the lesson of the Oz Nation and refrained from direct action. This meant that the highest-ranking individual on the battlefield at the time was no more than Sequence 8."
"The king of West Wind at the time was also a Sequence 8 being, a wise ruler. During his reign, he improved the military system and, with great determination, mobilized the people to dig a north-south canal, bringing prosperity to the nation."
"At that time, he had approximately 400,000 cavalrymen under his command, of which 60,000 were Sequence 3 and above. Although their quality and quantity still couldn't compare to the 100,000 White Horse Cavalry under Roland's command, they were still extremely impressive."
"And when these glorious and brave Knights of Favonius, arranged in the unique formations handed down by the West Wind and charging into a cavalry array, their momentum was like the roar of a mountain and the tsunami, shaking the earth. No one dared to face their sharp edge."
"Although the Sequence 9s on both sides didn't die directly, some secretly protected several of their own heroes, preventing them from perishing in the chaotic battle. Even so, several brilliant geniuses and renowned heroes still perished under the sharp lances."
"I had just entered Sequence 9 at the time, and my strength wasn't at its peak yet. However, I estimate that even other Sequence 9s would have struggled to withstand such an attack head-on."
"Fortunately, after reaching Sequence 9, there are many means and methods available, so there's no need to directly withstand such an attack. However, its power is still evident."
"The only ones capable of standing up to the West Wind Cavalry on the battlefield were the knights riding the Bloodwing Red Dragons. They were the elite of the Pascal family. Although they were few in number, only a few hundred, every one of them was above Sequence 6. With the coordination of the humans and dragons, they could unleash extremely high combat power."
"Didn't the northern Treyi family, also known as the Duke of Raven, appear in the Battle of Broken Bow?" Loran Hill suddenly asked curiously.
Fei Helang looked at the silver-haired girl and thought that she should be a witch. It was normal for him to be curious about this. After all, the incident in the Land of Oz caused many witches to retreat behind the scenes and rarely participated in the fights between countries.
"During the attack on Oz, most of the Trey family members died on the battlefield, leaving them destitute and exiled to the north. Out of pity for the rarity of Duke Raven's bloodline, they didn't send any of his family members to the Verdant Empire's attack. Instead, they mobilized approximately 400,000 troops from the Dukedom to support them."
"But the Raven Knights under his command are also well-known across the continent, and their strength is likely quite strong. They are said to possess skills and military formations inherited from the Mercury Dynasty."
After listening to the living story and legend, Loran Hill recalled the enemies he faced when Clansia was founded and said in confusion.
"If the West Wind was so powerful 200 years ago, why did it decline so quickly afterwards, and even the world-renowned military formations were lost?"
"There are many reasons for this, and it's hard to explain them all in a short time, but I'll still talk about the two most important ones." The old man sighed.
"First, a large amount of land was annexed by the nobles, and the territories allocated to the knights were gradually eaten up. The nobles were reluctant to spend money and resources to train so many knights, so the talent pool gradually dwindled."
"Secondly, Xifeng's unique military formation technique had always been controlled by the royal family. Subsequent generations of kings, intent on consolidating power and strength, closed the art to the public, reserving it only for the royal children. However, these aristocratic children couldn't endure hardship and couldn't accept the rigorous and arduous training. As a result, fewer and fewer people mastered it, and eventually, it slowly disappeared."
"So much so that, by the time of Crancia's rise, other than the Knights of Lightning, the other West Wind legions no longer knew this glorious and heroic skill."
After listening to the old man's narration, Loran Hill also became interested in the secret military formation technique of West Wind for the first time. She already knew a lot about the military formation technique of the Mercury Dynasty, that is, the art of war sequence resonance and joint operations.
This requires that every member of the resonance group studies the same advanced profession, and also has to be extremely disciplined, with movements and magic running at the same frequency to achieve the greatest effect.
In the current Clancy army, it is estimated that only the Knights of Cataclysm and the Knights of the Iron Sun are proficient in such skills, and the other legions can only be said to be barely able to do so.
