Law of the Devil Chapter 144: [Celebration Day] (below)
Chapter 144 [Celebration Day] (below)
Lorraine's guard cavalry is on the horse. Everyone's horse is hung with a golden bell. The horse's hoof is trampled gently, and the crisp bells are intertwined into one.
Under the support of the three hundred Luo Lin's best guards, Du Wei followed his father to the central square outside the imperial city.
The central square is the largest square in the Imperial City. It is backed by the Royal Palace and faces the entire Emperor metropolitan area. The square is large enough to accommodate the inspection of tens of thousands of troops. The long streets on both sides are extremely wide and all are used The sturdy, flat cyan slabs are enough for five or six carriages to drive side by side.
Every summer festival day, lively celebrations are held here. Above the imperial city, Her Majesty will come to the high platform to preside over the celebration ceremony, while the high platforms that have already been set up on both sides are some The position of the nobles and nobles will also invite some senior members of the temple and the magic union to participate.
The celebrations on the square below will have a military parade, and there will be a long line of parade celebrations formed by the people.
When Du Wei and others came to the square, it was almost noon. On the way, Du Wei was silent and his expression was calm. Even if he saw the streets full of armed guards, Du Wei's face was calm, without asking or saying, without saying a word, it seemed that it would have been so.
A large number of citizens have gathered on the square, and the streets on both sides are crowded. A large number of citizens are still rushing to the long streets on both sides of the square, and the long queues of people are almost thousands of kilometers away.
At the square, Lord Earl dismounted, and actually passed Du Wei's hand in hand, and then pulled Du Wei all the way to the lower platform of the Imperial City. The platform has been set up, and many imperial families and nobles have arrived, but Du Wei glanced over and found that many aristocrats were not relaxed, and some people looked secretly at Earl Raymond with a face on his face. Worried.
Ordinary people may not understand the abnormal situation today, but these noblemen understand it! What's more, the Guards had already patrolled a large number of soldiers around the noble's house two days ago. Has attracted the attention of many people. Strangely, some aristocrats were quite dissatisfied with this, and some even sent people into the palace to see His Majesty protest, but His Majesty the Emperor did not see it!
The crowd below was noisy. Du Wei sat on the high platform and looked down at the ordinary people who were still immersed in the joyous atmosphere of the celebration day, and couldn't help sighing.
Finally, at noon. When the sun of the sky was hanging in the center of the head, the golden gate of the palace slowly opened, and a group of guards wearing golden armors slowly ran out on white horses, followed by the guard of honor, holding the horn high. . The bright charge of the Assault is also a tradition left in the Aragon era.
Behind it, there are various court court officials, court guards, and court maids. The court guards, court scholars, etc. all walked out of the queue. At last, the two fighters who were two meters tall and naked were naked on the top, exposing the muscles of the whole body like rocks, pushing the golden side together. The drum came out.
The horn sounds stopped. Two Lux men kicked their drums ...
Oh! Boom! Uh ...
A heavy drum sounds like it strikes someone's heart! The drum sound spread far away, and the people who heard the drum in the distance gradually stopped the noise ... Everyone knows that according to the traditional ceremony, Her Majesty the Emperor is about to appear!
After the twelve beats, the ruler of the Roland Empire, the current emperor. The most powerful person on this continent: Augustine VI. It's finally here.
With a loud horn, all the nobles on the high platform stand up and stand. Facing the gates of the imperial city, the army's generals are a standard knight ceremony.
Du Wei glanced at his father, but found that Count Raymond was calm, facing the gate of the imperial city, but still straight. Someone had shot a surprised look around him, but at this time, no one dared to ask him anything.
Du Wei finally saw the appearance of His Majesty Augustine VI ...
His first impression was: old!
The emperor, now in his seventies, is already an old man who is sloppy. Although he is wearing a gorgeous royal robe, he wears a crown made of pure gold on his head. The crown is inlaid with a small circle of gold diamonds. , And a gem in the middle, Du Wei could not help but take a breath at a glance ... It was actually a colorful stone!
Augustine VI walked very slowly, his pace seemed a bit slow, his face was very serious, he was not half happy at the celebration day, his eyes half-opened and half-closed flashed with an incomparable age. The appearance of the old emperor faintly has the silhouette and shadow of the emperor Chen, but it is a little bit more aggressive and more majestic than the emperor Chen.
But Du Wei still saw the emperor's old age. He carefully noticed that when the emperor passed Du Wei's side, his hands were behind his back, and he shivered softly and uncontrollably!
The emperor embarked on a platform that belonged to him. Everyone was at least twenty meters away from him. There were only two people, and he followed him quietly. On the left is an old man wearing a red robe. From the style of the robe, he is obviously a magician. On the right, a thin, tall man in a gray cotton robe. He didn't wear any badge on his chest, but he always held a sword in his arms.
Only these two men followed the emperor closely. The others, even the emperor's two sons, could only be placed far from his sides twenty meters away.
Du Wei saw Prince Chen, and Prince Chen still looked calm and smiled like a spring breeze. He stood beside a chair on the lower left of the emperor's left, and seemed to care nothing about what happened today, even He also looked at Dewey and smiled friendly.
The big prince hasn't shown up to now.
Augustine VI glanced across the hall, his eyes looked like an old lion, although old. But still full of majesty, Dewey only saw one thing from the emperor's eyes: the eagle-eyed wolf-gu!
"So ... let's get started!"
Augustine's voice is very hoarse. He doesn't have much nonsense. He just said such a sentence briefly and then sat down.
As the emperor sat on the chair and waved gently, the two fighters under the imperial city behind him immediately slammed the giant drum hard again, with the rapid sound of drums ...
In the distance, at the end of the long street. There was a loud horn immediately, and immediately Dewey felt a killing spirit coming from afar!
The armor shines in the sun, as if coated with gold! A team of about 3,000 men's most elite infantry, dressed in the best armor, formed a long square matrix, and slowly came to the end of the street! The footsteps of the soldiers were extremely neat, and the entire square array looked like a knife cut!
Neat footsteps trample on the ground. Here comes the very rhythmic, oh! Huh! Huh! The sound of groaning ...
The crowd started cheering. The people on both sides of the road threw the prepared flowers from time to time towards the middle of the road and threw them out, but the soldiers didn't mess up. The resolute footsteps trampled all the way to the petals of the imperial city center square.
"Father." Dewey looked at the original array of soldiers, then suddenly turned his head and smiled at Count Raymond. Then he whispered and smiled, "When is the‘ show ’you prepared, when will it start?”
Earl Raymond looks calm: "It's coming."
With the words of Count Raymond just now, the infantry array has gradually passed through the central square, and under the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, three thousand people simultaneously pulled out a long sword with a uniform movement, three thousand bright long Jian Yao points to the sky!
Augustine VI nodded with a smile, then raised his hand to the soldiers ...
At this moment, the long street is far away. Suddenly there was a rushing horseshoe!
Thunder sounds!
With the exclamation from the crowd in the distance, a group of heavily armored cavalry came! These cavalry are clearly elites. Everyone on the knights wears at least three levels of knight badges, a uniform black steel armor, a uniform black war horse, and a uniform red cape! This alternation of black and red, combined into a stunning symbol of "Iron and Blood"!
The closed helmet makes it impossible to see the knight's face. And thousands of cavalry came all the way. The horseshoe trampled on the blue slate pavement, and made a thunderous rhythm! These elite knights. The technique of manipulating horses is also extremely high. A cavalry of a thousand people actually formed a long queue, compact and neat, even the sound of horseshoes is so consistent!
When approaching the square, the cavalry suddenly slowed down. The horses were under good control. None of the horses broke the rhythm and stopped neatly under the imperial city. One thousand knights suddenly appeared like The tide generally separated into two teams, and then in the tide, a golden knight slowly walked out of the queue!
This knight also rides on a black war horse. His armor is completely gold. I do n’t know if it is made of any special magic material. There is a fascinating magic that makes Du Wei's heart beat. fluctuation!
The immediate knight came out and took off his helmet gently. The bright red cloak behind him was hunting in the wind. Du Wei saw his appearance clearly ... On the first glance, Du Wei immediately confirmed that this must be the great prince!
The appearance of the great prince looks similar to that of the old emperor. Compared with the prince chen, it is a little more gentle and kind, but it has a little more killing! But unlike the majesty of the old emperor, in the eyes of this great prince, there are more three-pointer!
"Master." Du Wei was looking at the eldest prince, and behind him heard footsteps and whispers. A middle-aged general came quickly and came behind the count. The man looked forty years old. His face was smart and strong, and he wore light armor. It was a standard Guard officer's costume. He whispered to the earl: "The outer city has been arranged."
Earl Raymond nodded, then glanced at Dewey, and suddenly said, "Douvey, come and introduce you, this is General Juncker of the Second Guards Division, and I am also Friends for many years. "
Du Wei didn't have time to look at the General Junker carefully, because suddenly, an exclamation came from above the square!
I saw the big prince riding on the horse and suddenly pulled out a long sword. Distantly, on the horse, he pointed his sword at the platform under the imperial city! Pointing Augustine VI sitting on the high platform!
"Your Majesty ... Father!" The voice of the great prince came steadily, even in such noisy occasions, his voice still fell into everyone's ears very clearly! Obviously the martial arts of this great prince is of a high standard!
"Dear father." The eldest prince's voice was a little stunned, and he shouted, "Excuse me, can the sword in my hand be sharp!"
As soon as the voice fell, thousands of knights around him shouted in a powerful voice at the same time: "Li !!!!"
This roar, almost scared some people close to the ground!
"Father! Is my samurai strong?"
The knights yelled, "Mighty !!"
The prince bounced the sword slightly, his sharp eyes looked at Augustine VI, and he yelled, "So sharp, so majestic samurai! Is he qualified to take over this great empire !!!" /
...
The audience was shocked!
Augustine VI is still sitting on the chair, but his face is somber and his palms are trembling faintly ...
Thousands of heavy knights, red guns dancing, and the sharp sword in his hand pointed at Augustine VI on the platform! The prince's eyes looked like a sword, and he looked directly at his father, and then his sigh spread throughout the audience, coldly, and said decisively:
"Father, you have been hesitant to choose for more than two decades. Today, I must get an answer, just today !!!"
At this moment, a dark cloud drifted across the sky, blocking the sun. For a moment, the darkness covered the capital ...
