Nothgard Army:
For accomplish the wish of the Emperor and take down the Demon Army, and the Order army if it gets in the middle, he clearly needs soldiers. And so, the full army is divided in four sections: The Legion, the army of the Dominate, the Beast Army, and the Saurian Army. On this chapter, we will talk about the Saurian Army.

Saurian Army.
The Saurian Army is a force formed by a race of primitive creatures that had lived underground for many millennia without contact to the surface, until that the Empire's excavations for spiritual gems and nothgil in 'Saurian Hill' accidentally opened a way to the underworld. After of some pacts with the chief of the tribe living there, the race that was known as Saurians by legends was able to go the surface, turning into a force of the Empire, and the mining zone turned into a city for the Saurians named 'Primeval'.

In particular, the Saurians lived in the underground alongside a multiple number of reptilian creatures, all them of different sizes and forms, that they learned to tame and train for what they needed. At first glance, somebody could see that these creatures, generally named 'dinosaurs', are very similar to the Saurians. The truth is that the Saurians has evolved from the dinosaurs until turn into what is now: a race of dinosaurs with human features. Thanks to that, and to their eternal link to the dinosaurs, the Saurians use them the same way as the humans use horses and other helpful animals. As a barbarian race, they live using methods that many ones would see as 'uncivilized' but isn't a strange view around them see how both males and females do the same works. Is common for them that both males and females go hunting preys, gathering or resources, work on the land and many other things. Even in a fight, the females fight with the same boldness and aggressiveness as the males, but the females know better how to care with the children of their race.

Being a race that lived during generations underground, they were not affected by the Demonic Energy from the beginning, which made them being able to be male and female and also being able to procreate male and female children. Also, they seem to be immune to the Demonic Energy effects, surely by their constant exposure to a large number of spiritual gems, what made them exceptionally useful on territories with dangerous Demonic Energy levels. Isn't an oddity see a wild monster girl, as a Lizardman or a Succubus, try to catch and rape a Saurian with the believing that with this she could have a male monster child, but evidently this theory proved to be wrong.

The Saurians lived during many generations underground, isolated from the surface, and without contact with the actual technology, and for that they lived as barbarians in tribes, always using tribal and primitive tactics for patrolling, the food gathering, hunt, and battle. After reaching the surface, the Empire began a slow process for adapting them to the actual technology and weaponry, providing them with nothgil weaponry and protections. But still, they made use of their primitive tactics, which made them as the 'barbarian force' of the Empire.

The hierarchy of the Saurians seems very simple. For them, the strongest of all them is always the chief of the race, while others Saurians less stronger than the chief are the leaders of the tribe, obeying the will of the chief. Seeing this seems normal that the chief always descends from the same race, a specimen that you wouldn't like to have near when angered.



Regiments:
Usually, all the armies are divided by regiments, but by the ancient nature of the Saurians, the number of forms and races they have and the weapons they use is impossible to divide them in regiments. When needed to be deployed, they choose their better warriors for the task and send them to the battle, but even between them seems to exercise certain specific efforts in battle, as the sturdy ones attack frontally and the fast ones attack quickly.
