The last day of July is destined to be a "good" day when some people are happy and others are sad.
Because in the afternoon, the list of people who were lucky enough to attend the banquet was finally announced, and there were as many as a thousand people.
However, this list is very strange in the eyes of most people, because they are so simple that they cannot find any pattern in it.
In terms of military exploits, most of the battlefield veterans who followed Allen in various battles are not on the list.
In terms of qualifications, none of the Rhodok people who followed Allen from the beginning were on the list.
As for positions and responsibilities, although most of the young officials who took office in the cabinet were given a day off, no one was invited.
They could only spend the day drinking in the pub depressedly.
The names on the list really highlight the "randomness" and "luckiness" just as the announcement said.
Of course, the people who were invited did not feel anything strange, because these people have become the envy of everyone today. They can go to the castle to attend the king's banquet. What a high honor it is.
Although there is an element of luck involved, these are all guests personally selected by their beloved queen!
What could be wrong with that? Luck struck them on this day and brought them glory.
Therefore, these "lucky ones" who were originally affected by desire, at this moment, even look at their neighbors with a bit of contempt.
But they didn't have much time to enjoy the feeling of being watched by everyone, because the banquet started in the evening. In any case, it would take some time to prepare the gifts. You can't go to the banquet empty-handed, right?
And this little bit of common sense has not yet been swallowed up by desire.
This is exactly what Allen did intentionally. On the one hand, he did not give these people too much time to think, so as to minimize the possibility of exposure. Moreover, the secret groups in each community do not actually know each other, at least ordinary believers do not know about it.
existence between each other.
Therefore, even if all the dark believers gather in the castle, Allen does not need to worry about any accidents happening, because they will treat others as ordinary guests and will not think that everyone present is bewitched by magic.
.
Perhaps, they don't know what magic is at all, and they don't understand that the gods they believe in at this time have deeply hurt them. Even though Allen has opened a school, knowledge is still scarce for most people.
resource.
As for most of the residents who were not invited to the banquet, they were not too disappointed, because His Majesty the King would accompany his wife and daughter and patrol the city from three o'clock in the afternoon until they visited the entire city before returning to the castle.
After receiving the news, many residents gave up their afternoon work and collected a lot of flowers in the wild, preparing to welcome their great king and respectable queen on both sides of the road, as well as the princess who would surely be beautiful in the future.
Doesn't anyone in the entire town feel that something is wrong?
Of course not, there were a dozen people who noticed something was wrong the first time they saw this list appear, because they also had such a list in their hands, and almost all of it appeared on the parchment on the bulletin board.
Anyone who is not particularly stupid will immediately understand that their existence has been targeted when they see this scene.
And these people are not the aborigines of Feslite. Their faces are unusually pale and their bodies are very tall, far exceeding the northern humans living in Rovanian. Their handsome faces
They have a pair of eyes that reveal a strange light. If they are dressed properly, they can be said to be extremely outstanding among the crowd.
However, since arriving in Feslite, these people have dressed in black and lived a solitary life, rarely leaving the communities they are responsible for, so naturally they have not attracted too many people's attention.
However, when Allen mobilized all his forces and began to investigate the city, these people with special appearances naturally emerged.
In particular, they also assumed the responsibility of preaching, which made them who were originally acting in the dark suddenly reveal their traces and were reported as the culprits by Rovanian's spies.
Allen, who was already full of anger, sent out the most elite Twilight Knights and female rangers around him to keep a close eye on these saboteurs who were causing trouble in his city.
Naturally, the men in black, who were already alert, could not stand still. They watched helplessly as the results of their efforts for half a year turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared. They left the crowd and sneaked back into the communities they were responsible for.
They are preparing to gather believers to make a final resistance and teach the master's enemy an unforgettable lesson in this city.
In fact, these psychologically twisted dark believers had made preparations to be discovered a long time ago. A large amount of kerosene and sharp short-handled weapons were stored in the gathering place of the believers. After half a year of hard work, they were discovered bit by bit.
Accumulated drop by drop.
Although the city has very strict control, we can't deny the residents the purchase of knives for cutting vegetables and meat, right? These sharp objects used in daily life can be used as spears and machetes with slight modifications.
At this time, in the city that was celebrating, a large number of residents only wore defenseless summer clothes. Even improvised weapons could cause fatal damage to them in a short period of time.
Not to mention that they also have some fire oil that has been accumulated by believers for a long time. As long as there is a little flame, it can cause huge fires in various communities.
After all, most of the buildings in Feslite are made of brick and wood structures, which may have some effect against ordinary accidents. However, if someone deliberately destroys it, the continuous fire cannot be extinguished by manpower. At that time, we can only look at the sky, or
Just wait for the fire to go out on its own.
However, amid the thunderous cheers, every move of these men in black was already under surveillance, and the battle came so quickly and urgently.
When some men in black turned around and left the crowd, they were held hostage by two Twilight Knights. The next moment, a sharp knife was inserted into the back of his heart. After several fruitless struggles, he died silently.
On both sides of the street.
Some men in black were suddenly hit by flying arrows when they entered a secret alley they often walked, and died in a daze due to the extremely outstanding archery skills of the Noldor elves.
What's more, when he returned home, he was arrested on the spot by the guards waiting in the house. Under a series of measures, the arrested person had no room for resistance. He could only silently recite "The Giver of All Things" and voluntarily gave up life.
Death, as Yin Luweita's gift to mankind, does not necessarily come passively. Some wise men among humans have seen through the nature of death, so they will actively give up their lives when the end is approaching. However, it requires a lot of effort to accomplish this. Some people can do it easily, while some people need some external force and an already crazy spirit to pursue death.
Naturally, these men in black who were captured cannot be wise men among humans. They are just ordinary Númenóreans who have been poisoned by dark beliefs. If there is such a name in the long history, it is "Loyal King Faction".
These people were like Sauron's dead warriors. When faced with a situation where they could not resist, their twisted beliefs gave them the courage to face death, and then quietly left Arda, ending their ridiculous and short-lived life. 's life.
There was no clash of weapons, no shouts of courage, and no movement that alarmed the neighbors. Within half an hour, a dozen of Sauron's envoys died in the hands of the Twilight Knight and the female ranger, and they had long since The prepared backhand naturally has no place to use.
The believers who have been bewitched by them have no idea of the fate of these "evangelists". They have already embarked on the road to Wintry Castle with hurriedly prepared gifts. Time always passes very quickly, even if It gets dark very late in summer, but the towering misty mountains always make it get dark earlier in Rovanion.
It is always a good idea to start earlier, because there are still a lot of people on the street at this time. If you go now, you will be envied by more people. Later, when the king's inspection is over, there may be no one on the street. By then Who can they show off to when they can attend the banquet?
When the invited guests were heading to the castle one after another, a group of fully armed elite cavalry, riding agile and swift elf horses, left Feslite like a strong wind. It was Du Mu who had just finished killing the man in black. Knights of Light, and leading them is Allen's most powerful subordinate, Hermione.
The situation in the city has been basically stable, and the rest of the matter can be left to the female rangers. After all, Allen's order is whether life or death, and there is no need to capture living prisoners, which makes this task much simpler.
And Hermione also has another mission, which is to go to Tehar's "secret base", find out the situation, destroy the lair, and completely cut off the source of this chaos.
As for Allen himself, after completing the inspection, he will stay in the castle to face the thousands of residents affected by magic, and try to get them to come out of Morgoth's faith.
When the last fruit of Laurelin fell on the other side of the Misty Mountains, the stars in the sky gradually shone in the darkness, and the last flower of Telperion also revealed half of its white cheek in the east.
But the dark night did not affect the brightly lit castle at all. In order to make tonight's plan go smoothly enough and to ensure that the people attending the banquet would not appear anything strange, Allen took out all the crystal chandeliers in the inventory and counted them.
Countless bright lights illuminated the open space in the middle of the castle as bright as day.
The city wall of Wintry Castle is more than a thousand meters long. It is not a very regular, square castle, but it covers an area of very large, roughly calculated to be nearly 100,000 square meters.
The open space left in the middle of the built house is enough to host a banquet for thousands of people, but it only needs to be divided into several parts.
Before the banquet started, melodious music had already started playing. They were a band formed by the local residents of Fishlet. On weekdays, such formal invitations to perform would only be given during festivals. You know, playing here
It's paid for, and it's not cheap.
However, most of the band members who were playing looked nervous, with sweat on their faces, and their eyes kept scanning the banquet venue, as if something terrible was going to happen later.
A large number of wooden tables had already been set up in the center of the banquet. Waiters in formal attire were shuttled around and began to place the food for the banquet on the wooden tables. But for some reason, all that was prepared at this time was some thick soup.
This is not in line with banquet habits. Cold dishes should be served at this time.
However, this did not arouse the suspicion of the guests. Most of the residents of Feslaite knew that although His Majesty the King did not live a luxurious life, he loved delicious food. It was unknown what the characteristics of these thick soups were.
What's more important is that Allen's actions are far from selfish. The things he likes are usually vigorously promoted to the public when possible.
It is precisely because of this that the entire Rovanian food culture has become so rich in a short period of time. This point often becomes a topic of conversation when drunk in taverns. No one cares about this kind of thing.
As time went by, there were more and more guests in the castle, and the crowd gradually became more and more excited. Finally, when Mingyue completely "get rid of" the entanglement of the Black Forest, the "guests" invited by Allen finally arrived.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Amidst the noise, a window on a balcony on the second floor of the tower suddenly opened, and a rapid blast of horns also sounded at this time,
It suppressed all other noises on the field, and the moment the horn stopped, Allen appeared on the balcony with a majestic expression, holding his hands on the railings and scanning the people below him.
Allen, who was supposed to be wearing a formal dress for the banquet, was now fully armed. The silhouette of silver and white light intertwined under the lights attracted the attention of everyone in the castle in an instant. Anyone could see that the white light was caused by
Allen himself radiates out, like a bright star that attracts attention.
For a moment, the venue fell into absolute silence, and the band that played at an unknown time and the waiters that shuttled around disappeared, and all the doors in the castle were closed.
"Everyone, on this festive day, I welcome you to my castle. Even before the banquet begins, I can predict that this will be an unforgettable night."
After saying this, Allen paused for a moment and looked at people's reactions.
The place was very quiet, and most of the people were motionless, looking up at themselves.
Maybe it was because Allen's appearance was too shocking, and the white light that was brighter than the lights was really surprising. It was almost beyond the awareness of these residents, as if the stories circulating in the tavern came alive before their eyes.
.
If this were in some indescribable world, everyone present would have some sense.
Therefore, most people still stared blankly at Allen who was speaking, while a small number of people whose expressions had returned to normal did not dare to make any noise in such a quiet situation.
"But before the real banquet begins, I regret to tell you that this city is facing a disaster."
At this time, a dark cloud began to gather over the castle, and in the blink of an eye it expanded to cover the entire open space, and streaks of thunder began to flow through the dark clouds.
