3/01: Army: Knights of the Pantoracken
3/01/01: Army: Knights of Pantoracken (1): Overview
The armed group of the Pantoracken, similar to a country’s army.
The Knights are divided into four groups: the Knights of the East (of eastguards), the Knights of the South (of), the Knights of the West (of westguards), and the Knights of the North (of).
The main purpose of this establishment is to effectively organize border guards to fight against enemies who often invade the border of Pantoracken: the Huns from the underdark in the eastern European interior, the sea monsters in the west, and the sea monsters in the south The Thule people, and the Viking pirates from the northern ice ocean.
The Knights are divided into six classes of knights, from the lowest to the highest: Bronze Knights ( ), Black Iron Knights ( ), Silver Knights ( ), Golden Knights ( ), Gaia Knights ( ), and Knights of Knights ( ) The head of the group, the celestal.
3/01/02: Army: Knights of Pantoracken (2): Organization of the Knights
Bronze knights are apprentice knights who undertake team patrol tasks during non-war periods to maintain regional stability. Twelve bronze knights form a small team, led by a black iron knight.
Dark iron knights are the lowest-ranked knights who are honored and serve as the captain of the squad. In addition to leading patrols, they also need to undertake various tasks of training apprentice knights. During the war, twelve black iron knights and the squads they led formed a squadron, and a silver knight served as the captain.
Silver knights are intermediate knights who are generally awarded a title of no less than viscount when they are promoted. When there is a task, the silver knight can mobilize the knights of its next twelve squads, that is, a maximum of (12×12+12=156) knights to perform the task. During the war, 12 silver knights and their squadrons formed a brigade, with a golden knight as the captain. The silver knights are actually very high-level knights. Many knights have struggled all their lives to climb to such a high position, and only a few Ying can climb from apprentice knights without hereditary.
Golden knights can be said to be high-ranking generals in the knights, and are generally awarded titles no lower than marquis upon promotion. When accepting the task, the Golden Knight can mobilize twelve squadrons under it, up to (12x12x12+12 = 1740) knights. During the war, 12 Golden Knights and their brigades formed a battalion, led by a Gaia Knight.
Gaia knights are equivalent to the knights’ staff, and will generally be awarded the title of no less than earl when they are promoted. There are only a few people in a knight order, and they lead a battalion of twelve companies to fight during the war, that is, a maximum of (12x12x12x12+12=20736) knights.
Actually, as staff officers, there are also some Gaia knights who do not lead their own troops, but stay in the rear to use the art of war to command the battle. They are called “Honorary Gaia Knights”. The position of Gaia knight cannot be hereditary, at least it needs to be upgraded from the golden knight, and there is a series of very strict assessments.
The Celestial Knight is the leader of the Knights, the strongest existence in a Knights. Celestial knights generally hold titles no lower than dukes, or even worse, are given the title of grand duke. There are only four knights in Pantoracken, that is to say, in the same historical period, there are only four celestial knights in Pantoracken, who lead the Eastern, Western, Southern and Northern Knights respectively. In the absence of the king, there is only the Pantoracken of the council. The four-day celestial knights are just like four kings. They only obey the council, but they have their own knights who command their actions in the battlefield. Therefore, the people will also arbitrarily call the celestial knights “four kings”, “four kings”, or “four kings”. Those who can become heavenly knights are outstanding in history, and their names can be engraved in the Hall of Valor of the Holy Camillo.
Like the Gaia Knights, the Celestial Knights cannot be hereditary. To climb to such a high position, you must at least start from the Golden Knights and experience decades of tempering. Therefore, there has never been anyone in history who can become a knight before the age of forty. According to historical records, the youngest Heavenly Knight was Uther Pantoracken, who was only forty-two years old when he took office.
3/01/03: Army: Knights of Pantoracken (3): Equipment
In addition to the standard weapons (photon sword, photon armor, light gun) allocated by the Knights, the black iron knight and above can have a mount, a small photon gunship called [Iron Knight] ().
The standard iron cavalry is limited to 2 people, has very high mobility, and is equipped with a powerful photon shield and photon cannon. However, the knights of Pantoracken generally focus on defense and concentrate the main energy output of the iron cavalry on the photon shield, so the maneuverability of the iron cavalry is generally not high. In history, few dead knights can turn off the shield and survive in the hail of bullets in the melee, so it is almost a constant habit of the knights to open the shield.
In addition to the standard equipment, Gaia Knights and Celestial Knights can also apply for the use of [Dragon Knight] ( ), which is higher than the Iron Cavalry.
By the way, the standard equipment of the Knights is very expensive. The standard lightsaber of the Black Iron Knight is 1,000 Pantoracken gold coins (equivalent to the price of a small anti-gravity airship purchased by the private sector at that time), and the armor is 5,000 gold coins (equivalent to the private purchase of a 100-square-meter building at that time) The price of a standard building), and an iron cavalry has reached the sky-high price of 10,000 gold coins. This huge sum of money is almost impossible for ordinary people to earn in their entire lives. Therefore, stealing the equipment of the Knights is a capital crime. Heavy damage to equipment for no reason is also subject to heavy penalties.
Funding for the Knights’ equipment is provided by the Council. The Council is also the immediate boss of the Knights.

3/02 Army: Knights of France
3/02/01: Army: Knights of France (1): Overview
Different from the Knights of Pantoracken, which are also responsible for defending against foreign enemies and maintaining domestic security, the Knights of France have a clear division of labor in internal and external duties. The “Knights of the Shield”, which is responsible for maintaining domestic security, plays a defensive role, and the “Knights of the Sword”, which is responsible for defending against foreign enemies and plays a military role.
The equipment of the Knights of Swords is almost the same as that of the Knights of Pantoracken, but the Knights of the Shield only have relatively basic equipment, not equipped with iron cavalry. Therefore, the operating costs and entry threshold of the Knights of the Shield are relatively low, which also causes the uneven combat effectiveness and low comprehensive strength. But relatively, the number of knights of the Knights of the Shield has a clear advantage.
There is also a royal guard dedicated to the king in the French Knights, the “Rose Knights”, which belong to a few sharp troops.

3/03: Organization: Society of Wizards
3/03/01: Organization: Society of Wizards (1): Overview
The history of the Mage Society is actually divided into the Old Mage Society and the New Mage Society.
The Old Mage Society was founded around 6000 BC. At that time, the research on magic was still at the stage of Hongmeng, and there were very few people who could use magic, and they generally depended on the talent of the magician. Ordinary people who have no understanding of the photon theory call these people who can use magic “wizards” and “witches”. They often hunt down magicians in fear, and tie the captured magicians to the stake and burn them to death.
The organization formed by magicians to protect themselves is the prototype of the old mages association.
The Old Mage Society is a private organization, evading the pursuit of heresy judges, while secretly gathering to promote the exchange of magic research~IndoMTL.com~ When the old Mage Society was gradually taking shape, the ancient and great mages Made the base structure of the Ivory Tower (Tower of the Master Division). The ivory tower has been continuously sublimated for thousands of years from the construction to the internal composition, until modern times.
The property they passed on to the New Wizards Guild is not just the iconic building protected by powerful magic, but also a large number of ancient and mysterious magic, and a complete and orderly system. It can be said that the legacy of the old Mage Association left to future generations is priceless.
The Society of New Wizards was established around 1500 BC. The mages who were reborn after the “Lost Millennium” have inherited most of the legacy of the old mages association, and the reorganized association has lost its former glory. But after almost 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 the method of 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 the mages who have joined the New Mage Association can be said to be people without borders.
For European countries with huge armies, the New Wizards Association is just a minority, but the power of wizards is still shunned by European countries. The relationship between the European countries and the New Mage Association can be said to be mutual use and mutual checks and balances.
