Chapter 389: What everyone wants
On the day Kino left the city, the news had already spread to every corner of the kingdom through light and dark channels, and it was also known to everyone in the royal city. The "Twilight Death God" and his "Death Corps" left their first mark in the history of the kingdom.
.
Different from the impetuous border cities, the royal city is full of ancient and vicissitudes of life. The huge walls with reliefs of the sun rise and fall, revealing a solemn and majestic momentum, as if they want to penetrate this mortal world and merge with the sky above.
Together.
The main road of the royal city is the broadest city street in the entire Doguland Kingdom. The 183-meter-wide road is made of heavy and thick bluestone slabs. It looks like the work of a miraculous craftsman. The tall stone pillars are arranged on both sides, and they are proud and majestic. Under the sunlight,
Dots of golden light splash under the illumination, and magnificent murals are engraved on it, like a road that has been visited by gods.
On this day, the streets out of the city were filled with people. The dark crowd was separated on both sides by the cordon drawn by the defenders. It spread far to the end of the horizon. The sound came like a tide. Everyone cheered and was full of passion.
The team returning to Twilight City is marching here. The three lieutenants of the "Death Legion" are riding at the front of the array, followed by the other soldiers. Dressed in black uniforms, they have a cold and murderous aura, like a
A bird of death with black feathers.
Among the crowd, various shouts came to each other:
"Warriors! Kill the aliens! Kill all the blasphemers!"
"I can't wait to see the aliens crying in agony!"
"The Death Legion must protect our homeland for us and make all the blasphemers who invade this world regret it!"
"The majesty of the gods cannot be shaken! Glory to the sun! The sun protects the dying legion!!!"
...
Lugo was wearing a sophisticated black armor and riding a sweaty horse imported from the Far East. He rode unrestrainedly at the front of the three people. He was originally thick-skinned and loved to show off, but now he was truly successful, with nostrils.
It's almost reaching the sky.
The former gangster leader held his head high, waved to the people triumphantly, took all the flowers thrown at him, and when he couldn't hold them anymore, he threw them back to other soldiers, and then continued to receive them shamelessly.
Later, I don’t know where a small hole appeared in the cordon. A woman squeezed out of the crowd and ran to the front of the queue to express her love to Lugo. Lugo did not shy away, laughed, and directly reached out to lift her onto the horse to prevent her from being
Others bumped into each other, and the two rode forward together, causing bursts of cheers, accompanied by the sour jealousy of the long-tongued woman.
Baisa looked at Lugo who was stealing the show and said lukewarmly: "Lugo is so proud. If he hadn't followed a good master, he would still be a struggling mercenary now."
Paladin glanced at Baixa, and calmly rode closer, pretending to be chatting: "To be honest, what Kino finds surprising surprises me too."
Baisa: "What?"
"No one confessed Kino - I knew that Lugo and I would definitely deny it, but I was very worried that you would confess, but you didn't." Paladin paused here and asked in a deep voice.
, "You did not confess, right?"
Baisa turned his face sideways and looked at the crowd: "No."
Paladin: "I don't like your reaction."
Baisa: "What's the reaction?"
"Side your face." Paladin imitated him by turning his face sideways, squinting his eyes and saying, "When you were serving in Xilin Town, you would subconsciously do this every time you lied."
Baisa looked directly at Paladin and said helplessly: "If I confess, will the judge write it down? When you compare the documents afterwards, will my confession be on the paper?"
Paladin was speechless. He nodded and asked tentatively: "Then...you didn't say it because of me? For me and my family?..."
"Yes." Baisa looked sideways at the noisy street, his deep voice was unpredictable, "For you and your family."
...
In the bleak autumn wind, the streets of the royal city were criss-crossed by formations of death-defending regiments, designed by the king himself. The black crow flag, symbolizing the meaning of death-defending, was fluttering in the wind.
The weather during Luoying Season is strange and changeable. Just a moment ago, the sun was shining in the sky, but now it is covered in haze, and the wind is beginning to be mixed with fine invisible dust. The air pressure is so low that people feel depressed, as if there is some kind of force swallowing up life.
"Tap, step, step..." The dull sound of horse hooves sounded. They were obviously just part of the thousands of troops, but there was a terrible sense of oppression hidden in them, which drowned out all the noise.
In the center of the array of soldiers announcing their death, a tall black horse marched forward. Kino did not know when he had left the carriage and rode the horse himself.
On horseback, Kino is wearing a general's black shirt. Each black feather on the shirt is the first feather that grows after the night crow breaks its shell.
Yun, with his amber eyes without any emotion, looked down at the crowd around him, silently.
Kino was not riding alone, there was another person in front of him.
Solandel is the opposite of Kino, who is dressed in black. She wears a pure white velvet robe, and wears a laurel crown on her forehead. Her fair skin is even worse than winter snow, and occasionally a strand of white-gold hair blows in the wind.
It rose and fell on Kino's face, becoming the center of attention together with him.
There were crowds of people on both sides of the street, but there was no shouting at all. All the people opened their eyes wide and looked at Kino silently, and everyone who was stared back by Kino would unconsciously nod to show humility.
In this silent silence, Kino's "triple shackles" are boiling, and the emotional values mainly "respect" and "awe" are surging like giant waves.
Different from the situation at the plenary meeting of the kingdom, now it is a large-scale harvest in the true sense. The royal city has a population of one million. Leaving aside those who are not present, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Kino who can be seen on both sides of the main road.
Facing this "Twilight Death" who can sense the invasion of extraterrestrial visitors, everyone's emotions have risen to the top, and the respect and awe points they have contributed are almost full.
When Kino slowly walked forward under the attention of the crowd and arrived at the city gate, his respect value reached more than 10 million, and his awe value reached a terrifying more than 20 million.
Later, I don't know who took the lead. The crowd bowed their heads one after another like waves falling on the sea, knelt on one knee on both sides of the street, clasped their right hands on their chests, and offered the most sincere salute.
Solandel raised her head and stared at Kino, her face full of longing: "You are the one everyone wants now."
Kino's fingertips stroked Solandel's cheek, leaned into her ear, smiled and whispered: "Soon, you will be too."
The black horse walked to the city gate, and Kino looked back. The afterglow of the sky obscured by haze was reflected in his amber eyes, as if there was a scorching light shining brightly. He was looking at this land that believed in the sun, and at the royal city that represented the supreme power.
