The Grand Army of Lucia was created with one goal in mind: to drive Shussei into the ground. Ever since the beginnings of the Certamen War, the Emperor of Lucia felt it was necessary to have a strong military, and his efforts resulted in a force nothing less than extraordinary. Every male of age in Lucia has served or is currently serving time in the Army, as a sort of coming-of-age ritual, and given Lucia's population, the resulting numbers within the Grand Army of Lucia is simply staggering.
All but the lowest ranks of Lucia's military might are highly trained, constantly preparing themselves for what they perceive as an inevitable second conflict. While the Emperor disapproves of the idea, he still recognizes the necessity of being prepared should war come to his kingdom once more. Each region of Lucia has within it a Prefect, a representative of the Lucian army, who organizes defense and other military matters. All members of the Grand Army of Lucia wear the all-seeing eye of the Emperor on their armor, though the location may differ on each person.
As a result of warring with Shussei, the Lucian Army now wields enchanted shields that are able to withstand gunfire, effectively shielding the user from the bullets. However, due to restrictions of magical enchantments, only the shield is given such protection, rather than the entire suit of armor being worn. This allows the Lucian army to effectively battle against technologically advanced civilizations on equal footing.

Ranks of the Lucian Army
- Grand General - The highest rank in the Lucian Army. The only ones able to command the Grand General are the Emperor, as well as the Hierarchy members.
- Prefect - Each territory of Lucia is given a Prefect in order to take care of local military affairs. Chosen from the Imperial rank.
- Templar - Elite soldiers, much higher in capability than an Imperial. Fanatical in their loyalty to the Emperor. Often, a Templar's physical abilities far outrank even a Prefects, however, the only reason they are ranked below is that their ability to command a force is lacking. Their armor is often lighter than an Imperials, though it is not unheard of for Templar to wear plate mail.
- Imperial - The basic footsoldier of the Lucian Army. Trained in the use of various melee weaponry, as well as being armed with bows/crossbows, Imperials are often accompanied into battle by Healing Mages, making them formidable against any enemy.
- Trainee - Armed with a basic shield/sword combo, as well as a crossbow for ranged attacks, Trainee's are far from being equal in skill even to an Imperial. Their armor is inferior as well, clad in only chainmail rather than the full plate armor given to the Imperial division.
