Chapter 388: 16 Year Old Inglis and the New Semester (10)
As Inglis predicted, Prince Wayne's announcement was indeed significant. After his initial greeting, he delved into the topic of the new chivalric order.
"Some of you may already be aware of the rumors. Following the Holy Knight Order and the Imperial Guard Order, I am pleased to announce the creation of a new national chivalric order. Its name will be the Order of Arcane Wardens," Wayne shared, capturing the attention of everyone present.
The students murmured among themselves, "Arcane Wardens?"
Wayne continued, "The sole mission of the Order of Arcane Wardens is to defeat Magic Stone Beasts and protect those threatened by them."
Leone pondered on Wayne's words, remarking, "So, its a specialized order for combating Magic Stone Beasts."
Rafinha, intrigued, asked, "Does this mean they wont engage in battles between humans, right Glis?"
"It seems so," Inglis confirmed, understanding the implications.
Liselotte, however, expressed her confusion, "But I thought the Holy Knights Order already dealt with Magic Stone Beasts How will this be different?"
Wayne addressed her concern, "However, the scope of the Orders activities will extend beyond just Charalia!"
This revelation surprised the students, including Rafinha, who collectively exclaimed, "EEeehhh?!!"
"The Order of Arcane Wardens aims to protect every person from the threat of Magic Stone Beasts, disregarding country or national borders Wherever theres a call for help, the Order will respond! This Order is not just for our nation but for every single person and every single nation of Midland," Wayne elaborated, expanding on the global scope of the Order.
The students were abuzz, murmuring, "For everyone on Midland?" and "Not just ours, but the worlds?"
The hubbub grew even louder, and the fervor seemed to be mounting. This new order would fill a completely different role from the Holy Knight Order, which existed only to protect the Kingdom of Charalia. The sphere of activity for the Order of Arcane Wardens, however, would extend beyond national borders, meaning they might not see much activity inside Charalia, especially with Raphael and the Holy Knight Order already present.
By centralizing Artifacts and knights in a mobile base, the Order could utilize resources more effectively than if they were spread out for regional defense. This strategy also meant less downtime during peaceful periods.
Inglis mused, "Essentially, with fewer Artifacts and Flygears, the Midlands can defend themselves more effectively. This is surely a move endorsed by the Highlands."
Rafinha eagerly asked, "So, it's a positive development, right, Glis?"
Inglis confirmed with a smile, "Absolutely. It means we can confront Prismas wherever they appear across the globe. Fufufuisnt that just lovely?
Indeed, King Charleas had once promised Inglis deployment anywhere within Charalia against Prismas. However, the idea of engaging in such battles globally was an exhilarating expansion of that promise.
Translators note:
I dont know what the J-Novel Club goes with for the
new knight order (since Im too broke to buy novels). Trying to dissect the kanji, it goes like this:
(Fuu) = Seal
(Ma) = Magic/Demon
(Kishidan) = Knight Order
Together, they translate to Demon-Sealing Knight Order (Taimanin flashbacks), but I dont like the sound of it. So, ChatGPT I had the idea of translating it to Arcane Wardens. Arcane because magicky stuff, Wardens because, uh, jails, sealing, I guess? Also, I dig how it sounds chuuni af
