A strong sentry is the first line of defense of the sacred empire. They were volunteers, which proved their loyalty to the emperor and their trust in Elrath. They vowed to protect their comrades with their heavy shields and even their lives. They rely entirely on faith to protect themselves.
Guard/guard capacity:
Shielding (base and upgrade): Sentinels of the Holy Empire are famous for their strict discipline and coordinated operations. If there is an attack from above, they will raise a heavy shield overhead to form a veritable protective wall. Whenever a sentry shouted "Lift up to the sky", others immediately responded, crouched down and raised their shields.
Shield (base and upgrade): the sentinel of the holy empire wins position through courage and fearlessness. On the battlefield, they react quickly to protect their comrades around them, just like the first ray of sunshine in the cold winter.
Shield Strike (Upgrade): The guards of the Holy Empire are devout and enthusiastic, and are good at fighting against elite guards promoted from sentry guards. If the enemy attacks the target protected by the guards, they will immediately shout back and punish them mercilessly.
Crossbowman (upgrade: marksman)
There are many stories about how Falcken defeated human tribes with courage and honor and unified them into an empire named after him. But there is another saying that is closer to the truth: the crossbow is the key to his victory. To this day, the reputation of this imperial crossbowman still scares enemies in all corners of the world of Ashan!
Crossbowman/shooter ability:
Armor penetration (basic and upgrade): not only ordinary soldiers, but also knights are afraid of the crossbowman of the holy empire. Their volley is famous, but what really scares people is their powerful crossbows. It is said that their crossbows can penetrate the stones of dwarf cities.
Penetrating arrow (upgrade): The sharpshooter is an expert in using crossbows and has mastered the skill of making each crossbow have great power. Not only the enemy's frontline troops are afraid of their crossbows, but even those standing behind the target must always be vigilant.
Griffin (upgrade: Royal Griffin)
Griffin is a creation in the mythical age, which is made up of lions and eagles through magic. At that time, the world of Ashan was full of the ruins left by the war between Long Mai and the Dragon God. Animals who drank the river full of dragon blood and magic were changed forever by powerful forces. It is said that out of pity, an eagle saved a lion swept away by turbulence in Long Mai, thus giving birth to this powerful creature.
Griffin/Royal Griffin Ability:
Dive attack (basic and upgrade): When the Griffin flies into the sky in a fierce battle, it doesn't mean that they have to escape. They will rush down and sweep a row of enemies with their claws and beaks. Many people in Ashan will tell you that hell is Sergo deep underground, but anyone who has seen the Griffin knows that the sky is a more terrible place in Bisell.
Infinite counterattack (base and upgrade): It is said that the Griffin is driven by the magic of the dragon god and is the most precious ally of the holy empire. Their fierce fighting, unruly wildness and amazing quickness make them mercilessly retaliate against all the attackers around them. There is a saying in the empire, "It is more difficult to sneak up on a Griffin than to kiss a girl held by her father."
Dive Assault (Upgrade): The Royal Griffin has fought side by side with human comrades for many years, knowing the importance of weakening the enemy front in the battle. When they fly into the sky, they will dive down and attack when the enemy is unexpected. As the great emperor Kona once said, "As long as we have a flying Griffin in armor, the enemy will never defeat us."
Blazing Angel (Upgrade: Hao)
The angel of light has gone through many hardships to become the perfect incarnation, serving as the messenger of Elrath-and the ace army on the mountain. Angels are taller and more beautiful than ordinary humans, surrounded by the aura of strength and confidence. The blazing angel is smaller than Hao and looks closer to human beings. With the opening of Falcon Empire, they also appeared in the world. Their true origin is still a mystery, but their endless loyalty to Elrath is an indisputable fact. On the battlefield, their weapons are a pair of swords of judgment and sympathy.
Blazing Angel/Hao Ability:
Blade of mercy (basic): "Angels have a blade that can revive a hero's soul and fight again. This magic is neither arcane nor ritual. Their ability to summon light comes from instinct, and their belief in Elrath is the catalyst. " This note, written by a teacher of the wizard of the Seven Cities Alliance, describes the angel's ability very aptly. When the blazing angel appears in the army, the soldiers of the holy empire will become fearless and fight for their lives, because even death may bring them back to life.
Blade of Judgment (Basic and Upgrade): "If you ever attack Elrath's alliance, the blazing angel will know, because the blade in her hand will tremble." This is described in the poem of Queen Tuida. The Blazing Angel's Blade of Judgment is said to sense the pain of allies and store it, which will be added to the pain of the target when attacking the initiator of the crime.
Blade of the Manifester (upgrade): "I told you I was dead, but the archangel Michael brought me back to life." After the resurrection, I became stronger and faster. I was resurrected to serve Elrath! "This is the common witness of Michael's resurrected soldiers in the battle with the King of Hatred. If it weren't for the powerful resurrection power of the celestial messenger, the devil might have destroyed the sacred empire.
Thorough purification (upgrade): Hao Shitian's faith and confidence in Elrath made them immune to any magic that might hinder or shake them. This ability is so powerful that there is a saying circulating in the forest of Eloran: "Curse the angels in heaven?" You might as well curse the sun! "
Female Godsworn (upgraded to Goddess Officer)
Elrath's godmother devoted herself to the belief in the Dragon of Light and vowed to bring light and warmth to all those in need. The nuns in Elrath were deeply loved by the imperial people. During the war, they fought on the front line to save lives.
Female monk/goddess officer ability:
Treatment (basic and upgrade): The female monks of the Holy Empire and divines, inspired by their sincere beliefs, have mastered the medical ability of the Dragon of Light. Countless soldiers are telling stories about being cured by the warm hands of female monks in the most intense place on the battlefield. Some people even claimed that they were dead, but the nuns saved them.
Calm (upgrade): Goddess officials of the Holy Empire exude a pure and true natural aura, which distracts the attention of the enemies they attack. Their bravery and beauty can make the enemy stunned and at a loss. A widely circulated fairy tale ballad describes a battle with an Oracle, and every attack on them is as painful as slapping one's mother in the face.
Guangling (upgrade: Yaoling)
In the kingdom of the spirit world, there are countless elves of light under the rule of Elrath, and some of them have been entrusted with higher responsibilities by the Dragon of Light. As the embodiment of Elrath's will, the Elf of Light was appointed as the messenger and consultant of devout believers. Light spirit is a dazzling creature, and its shining light can even blind the enemy. The generals of the holy empire soon realized the use of this radiant creature.
Light spirit/sharping ability:
Light speed (basic and upgrade): Light spirit is a pure light spirit with dazzling speed. There is an old saying that describes their ability well: "It is harder to dodge the attack of the spirit of light than to nail your shadow to the wall."
Purified light (basic version and upgraded version): "the spirit of light is like a hammer to an anvil." When magic is released on the battlefield in an attempt to change the outcome of a war that the light spirit thinks is just, it will arouse their anger and release the shock wave of purification. Elrath's wish is that victory depends on courage and faith, not cunning tricks.
Burning light (upgrade): Yao Ling is said to be the embodiment of pure truth, which can reveal the essence of your soul. Dazzling eyes will blind those who refuse to mend. In fierce battles, blazing spirits often force enemies to face up to their pure nature, causing pain and blindness. Those who have escaped the scorching sun have also become very different from before.
Chivalry under the scorching sun (upgrade: Crusaders under the scorching sun)
There are many knights in the holy empire, but only those who have been approved by Elrath are eligible to join the knights of the holy sun, which is commonly called the knights of the sun. They rode magic horses summoned from the shelter of Elrath. It is said that this magical mount can even run in dim light.
Sun Chivalry/Sun Crusade Ability:
Charge (basic and upgrade): The legendary charge of the Chivalrous Army under the scorching sun is gorgeous and deadly. The farther they attack, the greater the attack power. Part of the reason is the speed of their mounts, but if you look closely from a distance, you will find that they are surrounded by magical light, which gets stronger and stronger as their charging distance increases.
Blinding charge (upgrade): "May the light of Elrath guide you to the afterlife! Get ready to meet your dragon god! " The slogan of Baron Bernard, the crusader under the scorching sun, has been handed down from generation to generation. It is said that his armor and shield can reflect sunlight to the enemy, making him blind. This ability is widely regarded as a sign of compassion, because enemies who die in blinding charge have time to prepare for death.
Foal of the scorching sun (upgrade): The piety of the scorching sun crusader connects his soul with the dragon god of light. Its childlike heart determines what is destruction, and no obstacle can stop it. His mount turned into light, taking the rider anywhere and crossing any obstacle for a period of time. This ability has changed the form of war in Ashan in the past few centuries, because the hot sun crusaders can directly cross the enemy's front and attack any enemy.
