Imperial Army

Information
In the new world, the Empire of Vollachia is noted for having the largest and strongest army out of all Four Great Nations. Due to the Empire's code - strong rule over the weak -, each and every member of the army is a strong and capable individual, willing to give their life for the Emperor. If one does not display the resolve to die for the Emperor, they're subjected to harsh and cruel punishments. For example, among the guards tasked with guarding the Royal Chamber, it is forbidden to display even a hint of cowardliness or hesitation. When one of the guards' sword trembled for but a mere second upon facing Bordeaux Zellgef, he was swiftly forced to cut his own throat in front of the Emperor. In case he would have refused to take his own life, another guard would. According to Balleroy Temeglyph, cowardliness is a disease that can easily shake the very core of an army, hence it must be eradicated the very second it reveals its foul head.

One of the Empire's trump cards are the so-called Dragon Riders. Winged Dragons used by the Dragon Riders are a subspecies of dragons and are the only subspecies capable of flying. They're native to the Imperial soil and are nigh impossible to domesticate. Even among the Imperial Army, however, rarely do people with an innate ability to mount and fly these beasts, show up. Due to the dragons' prideful personality, they refuse to wear any kind of a saddle or reins, meaning the riders are completely left to the mercy of the beasts. If mastered, however, a soldier can manuever the skies of a battlefield and if equipped accordingly, rain down death from above. One of such examples was the 9th Divine General Balleroy Temeglyph, who was, with his usage of Yang and Wind magic, able to bend the light around him and his dragon, as well as difuse their aura, rendering them completely invisible. With his magical colourless sniper shots, he was able to rain precise shots at his enemies.

The imperial army consists of 5 ranks which are listed in order from lowest to highest: Soldier (兵卒, Heisotsu), First-Class Soldier (上等兵, Jōtō-hei), Third-Class General (三将, Sanshou), Second-Class General (二将, Nishou) and First-Class General (一将, Isshou). Those who reach the rank of "general" are no longer required to wear armor, furthermore "First-Class Generals" are equivalent to a Lugnican commander of a knight order in authority.

Nine Divine Generals
There exists a group of elites within the Vollachian military dubbed the Nine Divine Generals (九神将 Kyuushinshou) whom consists of strongest members in the army and enjoy a considerable among of influence within the country.

They have their own sub-hierarchy numbering from one ti nine with a lower number denoting a higher rank.
