The celebration started very early, it was still dark, but the Northern Lights was projecting its brilliance downwards in the sky, the magic lights on the main roads, the dark night was no longer lonely, and the bustling voices of people made the city start in advance.
Wake up from sleep.
When the salute sounded, the white flying eagle representing peace (so painted, all the pigeons bought in the south were frozen to death) hovered over the entire Difende, the whole city fell into joy, and the week-long Peace Day celebration officially began
.
In the streets and alleys, real and fake undead with pumpkin heads and ghost masks walked on the streets and began to perform their own special performances to enhance the festive atmosphere. Minstrels began to play with their bands, and various food stalls and small shops also started to play.
Never miss a great money-making opportunity.
And in the square in front of the palace, well, it should be called the Peace Day Square now, the citizens were wrapped in thick cotton clothes and waiting anxiously. The temperature was still very low before the sun came out. The white air in their breath was clearly visible, and their faces were frozen.
The scene was red, but no one complained. That was because the most important program of the celebration day was about to begin.
"The Peace Day Parade begins!"
The amplification of magic made this sleeping city no longer silent. The power that shook the earth in the distance meant that the new legions were ready. On the temporary high platform, the invited guests were looking forward to the future.
After all, for them, it was a real benefit and the destination of their trip.
But for me, I have a lot of mixed feelings. These are the assets I have saved with great difficulty, and they are also my expectations for the future. It is really not easy to get to this point.
When the silent snow-white ghost knights entered the scene, the entire venue took a breath of cold air.
On top of the uniform snow-white soul war horses is a knight covered in ice and snow, still wearing the ancient royal knight's armor, and behind it is still the familiar battle flag of Arashi.
Feiyi's mount chose the same unicorn Pegasus form. The armor made of extremely cold ice was indestructible, and the unstoppable ice sword, throwing spear, and dragon spear were also mounted on the ice and snow vehicle.
Just like the records, they are the most versatile knights, a super knights group that is said to be invincible. But today, there are as many as five hundred in front of the world!
This legendary knighthood that once disappeared in the long river of history reappeared in the eyes of the world. When the aurora battle flag they waved fluttered from the square, the crowd was already excited.
But when they approached the main stage, they all spread out, revealing the fifty-four knights among them. Their ice armor was still solid, and their spears were still sharp. But their flesh and blood and family members had disappeared into the past history.
, not even leaving his own name.
But even if only the skeleton and soul are left, as long as the Lan tribe needs their existence again, the veterans have not yet retired from the army. At this time, the snow-white Soul War Rider will still carry them into the battlefield again.
"Everyone! Salute!"
Across the long sword, it is a knighthood that represents humility and justice. When I knock on the shield, it is a knighthood that represents protection and courage. I wave the battle flag, which represents loyalty and justice. My vision seems to have spanned a long time.
As time goes by, the once familiar scene reappears before our eyes again after the cycle of time.
"aurora!"
"eternal!"
Only they are qualified to be at the forefront, and only those veterans who have guarded the country for more than three hundred years are qualified to represent the guardians of this ancient country and accept the cheers and trust of the people.
But this time, they were not the lonely legion surrounded by a hundred times the enemy force. Hundreds of young Aurora Knights surrounded them, looking at their mentor with reverence and trust.
The seeds sown have sprouted, and one seed has yielded ten harvests. The new Auroras have not only inherited the armor and weapons of their predecessors, but the military spirit and inheritance that has lasted for countless years have not been interrupted. The strongest and most powerful in the North.
The glorious Knights are still alive, and the country's most trustworthy guardian is still alive.
The cheers from the audience have already resounded through the sky, and the audiences from other countries around me are full of exclamations. The reputation of the all-gold Aurora Knights has been spread throughout Ashe for thousands of years. The legendary knights who are said to never be able to exceed 100 have actually appeared.
Five hundred and four horses, how could anyone easily accept this shock?
"Sir, are you selling this? As long as you make an offer...Ah!"
Obviously, the powerful knight moved the heart of Earl Hubble from Rodnan, but as soon as he spoke, he found that he could no longer move, like a frog that had been targeted by a python.
The silver sword light had already been placed on his neck, and the white air he breathed had been frozen into ice, but his guards had not had time to react.
Next, the sword light disappeared, but he found that his body of more than 200 kilograms was suddenly lifted up. What was in front of him was only a pair of angry eyes burning with cold flames, and the still cold death grip on his neck.
"...If there is a next time, I will regard it as an insult to the entire Donglan. What will greet you is only war and death."
Then, I left him casually and took out my handkerchief to wipe my hands patiently, as if I accidentally touched a piece of trash with dirty hands.
Hubble took a big breath. At the same time, the northern princes and nobles also started talking about it when they saw the scene in front of them.
"You are so stupid. Why would Rodnan send this idiot here? Doesn't he know how to read the history books? What does the Aurora Knight represent to Donglan? How dare you ask if you can sell it? This is just like asking your child face to face if he can sell it.
Selling almost the same.”
"...Haha, Hubble, do you want to sell your head? How determined are you to give up treatment? Does the king who sent you know this?"
Except for one of the parties involved who sat slumped on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, these small details were quickly ignored because the more impressive legion appeared.
Simple old armor, a military formation with a mix of wooden swords and iron swords, and most of the flatterers are thin and short. They don't have the visible coercion and magic power of the Aurora Knight, and they don't have the gorgeous and luxurious armor. But when this batch of
The Shabby Knight had just appeared, but he was greeted with even more enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.
"Royal Knights! Long live Donglan!"
"The Royal Knights of Donglan. Long live our knights!"
Yes. Those seemingly weak knights in front of me are the Royal Knights directly under the royal family. They are the new Royal Knights rebuilt based on the destroyed Royal Knights of Defender.
In all countries, the Royal Knights are the most elite knights and the royal guards. They enjoy the best treatment and the best equipment. But they also naturally have the strongest combat power in the country and bear the most important and dangerous tasks.
Their mission, just their existence and reputation, is also regarded as the glory of that country.
In most countries, every soldier regards joining the Royal Knights as their highest honor. This is the case with the White Wolf Guards of the Oran Empire, which has all silver combat power, and it was also the case with the Land of Arashi in the past.
But people have different fates. The royal family in Donglan is very poor, and the Royal Knights are even poorer. The treatment of the Royal Knights is not even as good as that of the private soldiers of some wealthy little nobles. The missions they perform cannot be high-end and glorious wars.
Or he is guarding the royal family, and spends most of his time in the poor countryside, doing small tasks such as disaster relief and driving away wild beasts that even mercenaries find unprofitable.
Perhaps their martial arts are not outstanding, their equipment is junk left behind by their predecessors, and they are even ridiculed as ragtag soldiers by the private soldiers of local nobles, but compared with other royal knights, one thing is the same.
"Honor and loyalty!"
"Fight for the royal family, fight for the people!"
Yes, after so many years, they have not betrayed their oaths. They have always guarded the royal family to which they are loyal, acting as the most trusted arm of the royal family.
They charged forward when resisting the herds in winter, and were wrapped in horse leather when facing the invasion of foreign enemies. They never failed to live up to the "Arashi Fortress" emblem on their arms.
Two years ago, when the orc army invaded the realm, the already exhausted knights of the old era turned into the sharpest swords following Renee's call. Although they drove away the powerful enemies, the knights
The regiment has lost more than 70% of its personnel and is almost completely destroyed. Even though many new civilian knights and soldiers have been added, the combat strength cannot be restored in a short period of time, and it has no choice but to become a second-line army and a disaster relief reserve force.
Renee is desperately waving to her loyal knights. She has not forgotten her loyal knights, and I will not forget them.
But what came next made everyone fall silent.
"...."
It was a team of knights who were even more broken than the royal knights just now. Their knight swords had been chipped, their dragon spears had been bent, and their battle flags had been worn into rags. They walked silently and made no sound. The audience
However, they took a breath of cold air and instinctively retreated. This was the instinctive fear of the living towards the swarming dead.
The silent knights in black came together, without slogans, without hesitation, without fear, or even hatred. They just marched quietly, as if nothing else mattered, but it reminded people of the queue of Death.
They are also knights with the honor of the Royal Knights. When they walked past the stage, they just glanced at me silently. Those guys no longer need any slogans. Their persistence and loyalty have been witnessed by heaven and earth. They simply
There is no need to worry about the opinions of the outside world... For more than three hundred years, I have trusted them and they have been loyal to me. That is enough.
"Not convinced?"
"Come on!"
Okay, I obviously said some things too early. Those two signs that were suddenly erected, and those malicious faces directed at some people, they obviously didn't care about anything.
"Damn undead!"
"asshole!"
What came from behind was the sound of curses from the Holy Church. I looked back at the young female paladin who jumped in anger, and I smiled proudly.
But it is not without reason that two Royal Knights from different eras come together.
The Royal Knights of Donglan have lost their inheritance and lost their core combat power and future. Although the Royal Knights of the Land of Lan are powerful, they have lost their hematopoietic function and their foundation. Both of them have lost a piece of their future. Therefore,
I decided to put them together.
They can finally be relieved of the heavy responsibilities that they should not bear. The tasks of city defense and disaster relief will be handed over to the future Urban Management Knights. The future Royal Knights will be reorganized and reorganized with old Royal Knights such as Great Sword Saint Feddy as instructors.
The total number is scheduled to be 5,000, all of whom are the King of Arashi's elite troops and elite knights. Perhaps it will take a little longer to grow. Like the Royal Knights of other countries, they will eventually become the guardians of the royal family and the ace soldiers who determine victory on the battlefield.
.
"May the Holy Light purify those damn undead!"
"In all my years of living, this is the first time I have seen such an arrogant undead."
Glancing at the priests who were still filled with indignation, I shrugged indifferently. Who told you to keep stirring up trouble these days? My knights have restrained themselves by not directly causing trouble for you.
Perhaps, this legion formed by the living and the dead will attract unnecessary attention and criticism, and perhaps my unearned title of saint will fly away because of this, but as it is said on the board of my knights.
"The bald man has fallen in love with the nun. Why do you want to invite the Taoist priest? We are here, and we care about your church's affairs. Doesn't it look good? Let's fight." (To be continued...)
