Chapter 927 - 540: Lion Guard Knights and Lion Charge Knights

If compared in terms of strength.

Naturally, it’s these fully fleshed Lion Knights who are more powerful in combat.

These Lion Knights are taciturn, only expressing their attitude through actions.

The front row consists of Tier Five Lion Charge Knights.

It just makes up a squad, with a composition quantity of twelve people.

The two rows at the back are Tier Four Lion Guard Knights.

Two columns represent two squads.

With different tiers, their equipped gear also varies.

Zong Shen glanced at them, preparing for an inspection.

During this time, he can also conveniently upgrade the Lord’s Fortress another level.

He was able to use the just acquired [Sixth-Level City Lord’s Mansion Upgrade Certificate].

This way it can be transformed into a Sixth-level Lord’s Fortress.

It seems the defense should further improve.

Moreover, the upgrade of the City Lord’s Mansion requires some time.

It can save these few minutes just right.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen turned, took out the upgrade certificate.

When selecting the Lord’s Fortress, he activated its use.

The upgrade certificate turned into a ball of white light, completely engulfing the entire Lord’s Fortress and the small surrounding city towers.

The ground quivered for a moment, then returned to calm.

The process of upgrading will last for at least five minutes.

Now Zong Shen can review these Lion Knights at ease.

He walked towards the side of the lineup.

His gaze fell on a Tier Four Lion Guard Knight at the edge of the second row.

They are all Tier Four Cavalry within the Lion Knight Order.

They can be counted as the backbone of the legion.

As for Tier Five and Tier Six, they are already considered high-level soldiers.

This configuration is a notch above most of the current Kingdom Knight Orders.

Take the Dragon Descendant Knight Order of the Avalon Kingdom for example.

The main force consists of Tier Three and Tier Four cavalry.

The squad Kunyel brought initially was a Tier Four Dragon Descendant Knight Squadron.

According to the establishment.

A Knight Legion is six thousand men.

Divided into five major battalions.

Three and a half of those battalions consist of Tier Three cavalry.

Another battalion is a Tier Four Knight Battalion.

In the last half-battalion organization, four squadrons are Tier Five Dragon Descendant Knights.

Only one squadron remains as Tier Six Knights.

Of course, this is the common legion ratio.

In fact, the total number of Kingdom Legions is still huge.

On average, each Giant City has 1 to 3 Knight Legions stationed.

The stronger the Giant City, the more powerful the Knight Legion will become.

For example, in some border areas, there are several powerful enhanced Knight Orders responsible for garrison duty.

Throughout the whole Avalon Kingdom, the National Knight Orders’ forces are very strong.

They are also a part of the strong battle power domestically and abroad.

The scale is hundreds of times that of the local knight orders and church knight orders.

However, just talking about the configuration and quality of legions, they cannot compare to the ancient and vanished Lion Knight Order.

After all, the Lion Knight Order didn’t even have a formation of Tier Three cavalry.

The minimum started with Tier Four cavalry.

The two Silver Lion Knight Orders plus one Golden Lion Knight Order were famous entities of their time.

These Tier Four Lion Guard Knights stand at a height of about 1.9 meters when armored.

They are somewhat taller than the Immortal Gun Cavalry within the territory.

Wearing a silver lion-faced helmet, with only openings at the eyes and nose.

Their battle armor is also bright silver, with a lion’s roaring relief on the chest.

The armor covers the entire upper body, including the joints at the shoulders, elbows, and wrists protected by armor.

All jointed parts of the armor are buckle-telescopic style.

The style differs from common knight armor nowadays.

The lower body is divided into three sections.

Buttocks and thighs, knees, calves, and feet.

The defense is undeniably strong.

However, this style of battle armor will definitely affect movement when dismounting and fighting on foot.

Their warhorses by their side are also tall.

Shapely backs and necks form a perfect arc.

Limbs are long and powerful, muscles bulging.

The mane behind the neck is very fluffy, gathered by the knights into braided tails.

These are authentic horse braids.

A semi-covered thorn helmet tops their head, revealing two nimble horse ears.

On their necks and sides of the body, there is external plate armor fitted like a cloak.

Horse hooves equipped with thick hoof irons spiking sharply at the front and back.

Compared to Immortal Gun Cavalry, the configuration of warhorses is much simpler.

For instance, those Immortal Gun Cavalry have a long saber each on the plate armor on both flanks of the horse buttocks.

A gun rack placed on the right side of the warhorse as well.

A standard lance, less than three meters in length, is hung on it.

The knights hold war swords and carry a kite shield on their backs.

The shield face painted ochre, with a lion in golden paint in the center.

As members of the Lion Knight Order, the insignia on their gear always relates to lions.
