The melodious bagpipes played on the grassland, and the riders on horseback sang and laughed happily. They held lightweight ash lances and rose and fell on their horses. Their bright blouses formed rough lines on the grass.
[Tirayang Youth Cavalry](First Order·Castle)
--"These young people are chasing each other in the wind. This is their game, and it is also their training to become qualified Knight in the future."
In the library, Sylutia opened the book in his hand, which contained exquisite card drawings and poetic text on the side.
"Tirayang Youth Cavalry..." She whispered the word softly, and then saw the detailed introduction below.
Tirayang is a plain in the north of the Fourth Continent. There is a custom there that when a boy from each family reaches adulthood, the village will prepare a horse and a simple lance made of ash for him to use.
Young people will travel in groups with the friends they grew up with. They herd cattle and sheep, drive Dire Wolf, fight against robbers, make friends, and participate in adventures. In the process, they gradually grow up, establish friendship and tacit understanding with their companions, and grow to maturity.
Once their country is invaded, these young cavalrymen traveling around will quickly gather together to form a massive cavalry array, Impact the enemy's army. Their superb riding skills and skilled cooperation often scare the enemy. Even though the Tirayang grassland is only a small and loose the Alliance country, with its large number of young cavalry, it has always survived among the big countries.
This system of young cavalry was later learned by other countries and promoted to various places, which greatly enriched the fighting power of the people and allowed the country to recruit a large number of skilled cavalry riders when facing war.
In conjunction with this system, there are "Horse Breeding Subsidies", "Knight Selection Competition", "Sword Forging Conference", etc. Even ordinary civilians can be canonized and become official Knight as long as they get a ranking in the Knight Selection Competition, which greatly stimulates the motivation of the people to learn swordsmanship and riding skills.
"Knight King"Regard·Buwili was born in the Gulunga Mountains in the central part of the mainland. He was a beneficiary of this system when he was young. Knight, who was the first to follow him to explore south, were all companions who had grown up together and trusted each other.
However, this system did not last. First, after the establishment of the country, young cavalry were no longer needed to maintain security within the territory and disperse Dire Wolf robbers. The young people who had no use for them gathered together and had nowhere to vent their energy. Instead, they became The unstable factors are, secondly, that this system always requires financial subsidies, and many nobles are unwilling to pay extra. Thirdly, after the enfeoffment is stabilized, the land is limited, and the lords cannot bear too much Knight, and they cannot provide the bargaining chips that can make the young cavalry serve.
Due to various factors, the system that lost the geographical and social environment of the Tirayang plains was slowly abolished. The Regas Kingdom that was founded as "Knight" in the past has gradually become mediocre and featureless.

"The order from above has been issued." Cassius, the leader of Knight sitting at the top, spoke.
"Oh, is it about the Dark Mist Mountains?"
"Yes, the Association headquarters is planning to redevelop Dark Mist Mountains and set up 14 new stations there. In the future, there will be 23 outposts and 47 resource supply points."
"During this large-scale expansion, many stations have to mobilize personnel. We, Golden Radiance Plain, are located in the rear and have sufficient manpower, so naturally we cannot avoid recruiting personnel."
"Who will lead the team?" As the giants of Golden Radiance Plain, they will not be easily transferred. The most likely ones should be middle-level 3-4 personnel.
"The notice from the Association said that Sylutia is going to lead the team."
"Wait a minute, she is only level 2, and she is also a gardener, so her combat power is not strong." Generally, the leader who leads a team must have enough combat power in order to be able to deal with complex World of Shadows situations.
"It's true that it's only the second level, but the letter from the Association headquarters said that Sylutia currently has no problem defeating the third level monsters, so we don't have to worry." The leader of Knight tapped his fingers on the table.
"Tia looks very cute, but his fighting ability is actually quite good." The voice under his helmet was full of interest.
"It's just that you don't know her experience in participating in the adventure half a year ago. It was a difficult third-level Petrification Lizard, and she solved it by herself."
"Let me just say that real geniuses are often not limited to a single field."
"For outstanding young people with talents, giving them a certain degree of autonomy and some freely deployable resources can stimulate their initiative to the greatest extent and spontaneously improve their abilities in all aspects in the process."
"If we send a level 4 experienced person to lead the team, she will either have no sense of crisis and let her just rely on her habits, or she will have great ideas, but is limited by orders and status, and has to act under the constraints of her superiors. The results of both are not good."
"Cultivating Lion and cultivating a war horse are completely different strategies. The latter only requires discipline and obedience to the rules, while the former requires him to be strong in all aspects and be able to stand alone."
"If we treat her as a child all the time and take care of her in various ways, over time, she will really become a child without the ability to act independently. If we treat her as a reliable adult and let her have power and responsibility, she will gradually grow up and become a reliable adult."
"Furthermore, students who are already seventeen or eighteen years old, if they were ordinary people, would have started a family long ago. They are not children anymore, so there is no need to worry too much."
"Even so, Sylutia, who is too young, will have insufficient experience, and she also needs certain guidance." Others were worried.
"There is still a month left before departure. If you are worried that she cannot manage the team well, just teach her well during this period, haha." Cassius is quite optimistic.
For them, the advancement of the extraordinary path has slowly reached the upper limit and bottleneck, and it is difficult to make a big breakthrough. Now their thoughts are more on coordinating the organization and cultivating the younger generations.
After some discussion, everyone agreed on the matter of teaching Sylutia, and then the topic turned to the arrangements for this large-scale development.
"This time we will deploy about 30-40 second-level Knight Attendant as combatants, 20 Gardener Apprentice, and 12 craftsman apprentices as the first batch of members to go to develop."
"Considering that "Golden Radiance Plain" is not a station dedicated to training combatants, the new development point we dispatch will be the safer third line within the Dark Mist Mountains, rather than the most dangerous and harsh first line of defense."
"In the first batch of stations, the first six stations are distributed in the six gorges of the Dark Mist Mountains, which are the checkpoints leading to the Twilight Sea Abyss, and are subject to various Abomination Impact is the most serious, followed by the five lookout stations located on the mountain range, which are responsible for monitoring the situation inside and outside the mountain range to prevent unknown monsters from suddenly rushing out. Finally, there are three stations located at the rear, which are responsible for logistics and providing food and supplies."
"The location where Dark Mist Mountains is located is the part where Surface Continent has fallen and collapsed, so the transmission to and from the Surface Continent cannot be used there. To transport materials, we need to send supply teams from the rear station."
"But this method consumes a lot of money and is not stable, so we need to have emergency supply stations on the front line."
"Our Golden Radiance Plain is one of the top five supply bases of the Woodland Association. The headquarters believes that we have the experience and ability to open up supply points in such an environment."
"You are really looking down on us." Kurand Hill shook his head slightly.
"Opening a supply point in the Dark Mist Mountains, which is extremely polluted, is easier said than done."
"So this time the Association specially invited a group of scholars and craftsmen on the "Castle" path. They will support us in building our base and building our defense line."
"Is it "Candlekeep School", or is it "White Bird School"? They are the only two that are relatively well-known in the south of mainland China."
"The one who supports us is "Candlekeep School", and "White Bird School" is responsible for the construction of another station. In fact, "Violet School" also participates. Although they mainly focus on "Secret Speech", there are also many members of "Castle" who are practicing."
"Violet School hasn't always adhered to the creed of escaping from the world, why did he get involved this time." Kurand Hill was curious.
"It must have been affected. The headquarters of Violet School is on Mist Island in the center of Meteor Lake. It has always been closely related to Merchant City Union of Meteor Lake. But now Merchant City Union is involved in the war in the southern countries. If Merchant City Union is no longer in the future, then Violet School must also consider the issue of its future foothold."
"This time I participated in the great development of the Association, and I also hope to gain recognition. At least it is coordinated by the Woodland Association the Alliance. Even if other countries later control Meteor Lake, they will not dare to target Violet School too much."
"No one can remain neutral all the time. Now that the countries in the southern part of the continent have relaxed restrictions and prepared for war, everything has become unstable and it is difficult for them to escape."
"However, no matter how chaotic the surface is, World of Shadows controlled by the Woodland Association will be very stable. We control nearly 90% of the extraordinary power in the southern part of the continent. There is no more powerful organization than this."
"Haha." Kurand Hill shook his head and said nothing.
Yes, the Alliance, the largest military economy in the southern part of the mainland, the controller behind all the southern countries, and the alliance of many extraordinary organizations, sounds really wonderful.
But there is more than one the Alliance like this on this continent. The rise of "Mage Alliance" in the center of the continent has made Woodland Association feel a lot of pressure. Now that Dark Mist Mountains is being developed, it is also a hope to find the relics of the past era and new resources for change in that sunken world.
Only in this way can we fight against the increasingly powerful "Mage Alliance".
