BXBX NOVEL Chapter 130 - Battle Formations!
The Department of Governance was the true department to go into if you wanted to develop the path of the sword.
As the department that managed to develop the legendary sword Saint, Swords are the go too weapon there and they have the best sword techniques and instructors by far.
Although the Department of war and combat does have its own benefits, like more practical experience and higher quality of life and death training.
For someone focused on the sword like Klent, it was still hard to see why they would choose this department over one like the Department of Governance, which has a clear history of training a sword Saint!
Klent seemed to understand Dante\'s surprise and sighed as he explained himself.
"Well, the true reason I couldn\'t choose the Department of Governance is that I and them are not compatible"
Dante couldn\'t help but raise an eyebrow at Klent\'s explanation
"Well, more correctly, our sword paths are not compatible." Explained Klent
"The sword training and techniques in the Department of governance are more about experience and practice and have a really high focus on comprehension and less on actual battle effectiveness"
From looking at myself and my way of development, I realised that I actually stand to develop more from having combat experience than just practice. Just take my battle with you for example.
It was only through you pushing me to my absolute limits that allowed for me to actually comprehend the first step of sword intent, sword force."
If Klent was being honest, he himself didn\'t even understand half of what he was saying.
In fact, yesterday, Klent was actually planning on choosing the Departments of governance as his desired department to study in. It was actually Sword master Rho who told Klent all this information and advised that he choose the department of war.
"But above all else, the major reason I chose this department is that, to truly master the sword, you have to rely on your own understanding and comprehension. , "Continued Klent
"If I joined the Department of Governance, I would just be following in the Sword Saint\'s footsteps, not seeking a way to surpass him!"
This was, of course, another thing told to Klent by Sword master Rho but Klent wouldn\'t be as stupid to tell this information to anyone.
Dante just listened to Klent\'s words with a strange expression on his face.
"Ermm... I don\'t even understand half of what you said, but whatever makes you happy, I guess?"
As Dante said this, he smacked Klent on the back as he laughed
"But don\'t worry, seeing as you joined the Department of War and Combat, as the Dragon Son of the Department, I can assure you that you won\'t suffer under my watch!"
As Dante was saying this, a cold faced muscular man walked into the room.
Even though the man was in a classroom, he was still wearing the deep Maroon chest plate, the signature equipment of the department of War.
As soon as the man entered, the chatter inside of the classroom instantly disappeared.
"Hello class, My name is Mr Kriel."
"In my class, I just ask 2 things. 1 you pay attention and 2, you remain quiet."
As Mr Kreil was speaking, he gradually released a brutal aura that stunned the crowd into silence.
under the aura released by Mr Kriel, most of the class was even struggling to breathe.
Obviously, Dante wasn\'t affected by this and easily resisted Mr Kreil\'s aura.
But even though Dante resisted the aura, he didn\'t release his dragon aura and fully confront him.
He was still new to this class and fully confronting the teacher was never a good way to start his class.
"Well now, that the rules are in place, "Let me talk about the department you have joined today."
"The aim of this department is in its name. \'The Department of War!\'"
"Our Department aims to train experts of war that will go to benefit
Soldiers, Calvary, War Generals!
These are just some of the vital aspects of the military that the Department of war trains for the Vaenam Kingdom every single year.
Of all these things that the Department of war can teach, they have many specialities, but the one thing that allows us to stand out from all other organisations and even other departments is our formations, or more specifically, Our Battle formations!"
As Mr Kriel was speaking, a cold smile appeared on his face as he turned towards Dante and made eye contact.
seeing such a smile, Dante didn\'t even need to think twice before he knew what was about to happen.
"Seeing as we have such an important member of the department here with us, why don\'t we let the Dragon Son explain this to the class?"
Dante only gave an annoyed sigh as he got up from his chair.
But this didn\'t mean Dante was unprepared.
Dante had been getting the feeling that his reputation as the Dragon son would most definitely lead to similar cases like the one he was dealing with right now.
So Dante went ahead and asked Rebecca to give him a brief explanation of all the important facts he would have to know about the department.
After clearing his throat, Dante finally spoke.
"The definition of a formation is simply the use of a refined structure or formula to manipulate ambient spirit energy to achieve a certain effect.
The things used to craft these formulas or structures can vary greatly from runes and inscriptions to flags and sometimes even mountains.
but one thing is consistent, and that is as long as they achieve the effect of manipulating the ambient spirit energy to achieve a certain effect, it can be deemed as a formation.
In the department of war, we use a slightly different type of formation to the ones we commonly see known as battle formations.
Instead of using flags or inscriptions to manipulate the ambient spirit energy, we use people to achieve a similar effect.
With a strong cultivator acting as the core, which is usually a general of the kingdom, Various soldiers come together to power up a battle formation which allows for a horrifying boost in the core cultivators strength, with powerful cultivators even being able to control battle formations as large as 10 thousand men granting them unbelievable boosts in strength.
The advantage of battle formations is that the mobility and flexibility of humans allow for them to be much more versatile than the traditional formations.. Thus allowing it to become the core theory of training in our Vaenam Kingdom military and Department of war in the hidden Dragon Academy."
