Chapter 144 [Celebration Day] (Part 2)

The guard cavalry of Luo Lin's family were all on their horses, and a golden bell was hung on each of their horses. As the horses' hoofs trampled lightly, the crisp and melodious bells intertwined into one piece.

Surrounded by three hundred Luo Lin's most elite guards, Du Wei followed his father to the prison outside the imperial city.

**** is the largest square in the imperial city. It is backed by the imperial palace and faces the entire imperial city area. The square is so big that it can accommodate tens of thousands of troops for inspection. The flat cyan slate is paved, enough for five or six carriages to drive side by side.

Every summer festival day, lively celebrations will be held here. On the imperial city, His Majesty the Emperor will personally visit the high platform to preside over the celebration ceremony. At the same time, some high-level personnel from the temple and the magic union will be invited to participate.

For the celebration activities on the square below, a military parade will be held, and there will also be a long line of parades and celebrations spontaneously formed by the people.

It was almost noon when Du Wei and others came to the square. Along the way, Du Wei was silent and his expression was very calm. He was very calm, neither asked nor said, did not say a word, as if he had already expected this to happen.

Quite a few citizens have gathered on the square, and the streets on both sides are even more crowded. A large number of citizens are still flocking to the long streets on both sides of the square, and the long line of people is almost a kilometer away.

When we came to the square, the Earl got off his horse and took Du Wei's hand with his own hands. Then he took Du Wei all the way to the high platform under the imperial city. All the aristocrats have arrived.  But Du Wei glanced over and found that many nobles were not relaxed. Someone even secretly looked at Earl Raymond with a worried look on his face.

Ordinary people may not understand the abnormal situation today, but these rich and nobles do! What's more, the Guards had dispatched a large number of soldiers to patrol around the noble's house two days ago, which had attracted the attention of many people. The strange thing is that some nobles were quite dissatisfied with this, and some even sent people into the palace to meet His Majesty to protest. But His Majesty the Emperor did not see any of them!

The crowd below was noisy, and Du Wei sat on the high platform, looking down at the ordinary people who were still immersed in the joyous atmosphere of the celebration day, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Finally, at noon, when the sun was hanging in the center of the sky, the golden gate of the palace slowly opened, and a group of palace guards wearing golden armors ran out slowly on all white horses.  Followed by the guard of honor, holding the horn high, blowing the resounding charge - this is also a tradition left over from the Aragon era.

Behind them are all kinds of court officials, those palace guards, court maids. The palace guard of honor, court scholars, etc. all came out in a queue. In the end, two wrestlers who were two meters tall, naked to the waist, showing muscles like rocks all over their bodies, pushed together a golden The giant drum came out.

The sound of the horn stopped, and the two wrestlers beat the drum hammer...

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The heavy drumbeats seemed to be beating on people's hearts! The sound of the drum spread far away, and the people who heard the sound of the drum in the distance. The noise gradually stopped... Everyone knows that.  According to the traditional ceremony, His Majesty the Emperor.  Coming soon!

After twelve drum beats, the ruler of the Roland Empire, His Majesty the current Emperor, the supreme authority on this continent: Augustine VI, finally appeared on the stage.

With a loud horn, all the nobles on the high platform stood up and bowed slightly facing the gate of the imperial city, while some military generals gave a standard knight salute.

Du Wei glanced at his father, but found Earl Raymond's face was calm, facing the gate of the imperial city, but his body was still upright! Surprised glances had already been shot from people around, but at this moment, no one dared to ask him anything.

Du Wei finally saw clearly the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor Augustine VI...

His first impression was: old!

The emperor, now in his seventies, was already an old man on the verge of death. Although he was wearing a gorgeous royal robe and a crown made of pure gold on his head, the crown was inlaid with a circle of tiny gold diamonds. Du Wei couldn't help but take a breath when he saw the gemstone in the middle...it turned out to be a multicolored stone! .

Augustine VI walked very slowly, his pace seemed a little slow, his face was very serious, not at all happy like a celebration day, and in his half-opened and half-closed eyes, there was a sparkle that did not match his age. The appearance of this old emperor vaguely has the outline and shadow of Prince Chen, but he is a bit more aggressive and majestic than Prince Chen.

But Du Wei still saw the oldness of the emperor. He noticed carefully that when the emperor passed by Du Wei's side, his hands were behind his back, trembling gently and uncontrollably!

The emperor stepped onto the high platform that belonged to him alone. Everyone was at least 20 meters away from him, but there were only two people who followed him quietly. The one on the left is an old man wearing a red robe. Judging from the style of the robe, he is obviously a magician.  On the right, there is a tall and thin man in a gray cotton robe. He doesn't wear any badge on his chest, but he always holds a long sword in his arms.

Only these two people followed the emperor every step of the way. The others, even the emperor's two sons, could only be placed 20 meters away on both sides of him.

When Du Wei saw Prince Chen, Prince Chen still had a calm expression on his face, with a warm smile like a spring breeze. He was standing next to a chair on the lower left side of the emperor, as if he didn't care about what happened today, and even talked with Du Wei. Vi looked at each other.  A friendly smile.

And that eldest prince has not shown up until now.

The eyes of Augustine VI swept across the audience. His eyes were like an old lion. Although old, they were still full of majesty. Du Wei only saw one thing in the eyes of the emperor: eagle watching wolf Gu !

"Then... let's begin!"

Augustine's voice was hoarse. He didn't talk too much nonsense, but simply said this sentence.  Then sat down.

As the emperor sat on the chair and waved his hand lightly, the two wrestlers in the imperial city behind him immediately slammed the giant drum again with all their strength, and the sound of the rapid drumbeat spread out...

In the distance, at the end of the long street, there was a burst of loud and clear horns immediately, and immediately, Du Wei immediately felt a murderous aura coming from a distance!

Armor gleamed in the sun. It seems to be plated with a layer of gold! A group of about 3,000 elite infantrymen of the Guards, wearing the best armor, formed a long square formation, slowly walking towards the end of the street! The footsteps of the soldiers were unusually neat, and the entire phalanx looked as if it had been cut with a knife!

The footsteps trampled on the ground neatly, and there was a very rhythmic sound, whoosh! Swish! Swish! Swish sound...

The crowd began to cheer, people on both sides of the road.  From time to time, the prepared flowers were thrown towards the square in the middle of the road, but the soldiers did not mess up at all, trampling on the petals along the way with resolute footsteps, and came towards the imperial city.

"Father. " Du Wei looked at the original phalanx of soldiers, turned his head suddenly, and smiled at Earl Raymond.  Then he smiled in a low voice: "When will the 'show' you prepared start?"

Earl Raymond looked calm: "Hurry up. "

As soon as Earl Raymond's words fell, the infantry phalanx had gradually passed through the gate. Under the eyelids of His Majesty, three thousand people drew out their long swords in a uniform movement at the same time. Three thousand bright long swords Point to the sky!

Augustine VI nodded with a smile, then raised his hand to the soldiers...

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from the distance of the long street!

The sound of hooves is like thunder!

Following the exclamation from the crowd in the distance, a group of heavily armored cavalry came galloping! These cavalry are obviously the elite among the elite. Every knight on the horse wears a knight badge with at least three poles. Unified black steel armor, uniform black war horse. Unified red cape! The alternation of black and red forms an amazing symbol of "iron and blood"!

The closed helmet made it impossible to see the knight's face, and thousands of cavalry galloped all the way, their horseshoes trampled on the blue stone road, making a very rhythmic thunder! The skills of these elite knights in manipulating horses are also top-notch. A thousand cavalry actually formed a long queue, which was compact and neat, and even the sound of horseshoes was so consistent!

When they came close to the square, the cavalry suddenly slowed down. The horses were under good control. None of the horses lost their rhythm and stopped neatly under the imperial city. Suddenly, a thousand knights gathered like a wave Divided into two teams, and then in the tide, a golden knight slowly rode out of the queue! .

This knight was also riding a black horse, and his armor was completely golden. I don't know if it was made of any special magic material. There was a faint wave of magic power on this armor that made Du Wei's heart flutter!

The knight on the horse rode out and gently took off his helmet. The bright red cloak behind him fluttered in the wind.  Du Wei saw his appearance clearly... Du Wei immediately confirmed it after only one glance, this must be the eldest prince!

The eldest prince's appearance looks seventy percent similar to that of the old emperor. Compared with Prince Chen, he is a little less gentle and friendly, but more aggressive! But different from the majesty of the old emperor, this eldest prince's eyes are more sinister!

"My lord. " Du Wei was looking at the eldest prince, when footsteps and a low voice came from behind him, a middle-aged general quickly walked over and came behind the earl, this man looked forty years old, with a shrewd and capable face , wearing light armor, which is exactly the uniform of a guard officer, he smiled softly at the Earl: "The outer city has been arranged.  "

Earl Raymond nodded, then glanced at Du Wei, and suddenly said: "Du Wei, come, let me introduce you, this is General Junker of the Second Division of the Guards, and also my friend for many years . "

Du Wei didn't have time to take a closer look at General Junker, because suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation from the square!

The eldest prince who was riding on the horse suddenly drew out his long sword, and far away, on the horse, pointed the edge of the sword at the high platform under the imperial city! Point to Augustine VI sitting on the high platform!

"Your Majesty...Father!" The eldest prince's voice came steadily, even in such a noisy place, his voice still fell into everyone's ears very clearly! Obviously this eldest prince's martial arts skills are quite high!

"Dear father.  " The eldest prince's voice was a bit awe-inspiring, and he shouted loudly: "Excuse me, is the sword in my hand sharp!"

As soon as the words fell, thousands of knights around him shouted in a majestic voice: "Lee!!!"

This roar almost frightened some people who were close to them to sit on the ground!

"Father! My warrior, how majestic is he!"

All the knights shouted loudly: "Mighty!!"

The eldest prince lightly flicked the edge of the sword, looked at Augustine VI with sharp eyes, and asked loudly: "Such a sharp sword, such a majestic warrior! Are you qualified to take over this great empire!!"

...

The audience was shocked!

Augustine VI was still sitting on the chair, but his face was extremely gloomy, and his palms were trembling faintly...

※#8226;

A thousand heavily armored knights, with bright red cannons fluttering, pointed their sharp swords at Augustine VI on the high platform! The eldest prince's eyes were like the sharp edge of a sword, he looked straight at his father, then his sigh spread throughout the audience, and he said coldly and resolutely:

"Father, you have hesitated over twenty years of choice, today, I must get an answer, today!!!"

At this moment, a dark cloud floated across the sky, blocking the sunlight, and in an instant, darkness enveloped the imperial capital...
