Heart of the Castle

Chapter 820 Great Celebration, Restoration of the Kingdom
This is not the first time that the Commander of the Kingdom of Arthur has appeared in front of the world. As early as in the fierce battle to recover the capital of Fermeyer, the Griffin Knights and Ashes Knights were under the cover of these behemoths. A violent attack was launched towards the dark fortress.However, seeing it from a distance on the battlefield and seeing it up close at a military parade give people a completely different feeling.Although the Commander's Wheel Palace on the battlefield is also majestic, spraying fireballs, lightning, and firing alchemy crossbows, it is still relatively small compared with the 40-meter-high Dark Fortress; but now it appears in the military parade The commander's wheel palace is at most only more than 100 meters away from the viewing platform, and the guests can clearly see every detail of these terrible war weapons.

Among the people on the viewing platform who were shouting in surprise, pale, or dignified, the regent of the Kingdom of Deldes, His Excellency Grand Duke Zandora Baron, was particularly calm and composed.This was not only because of the deep palace of the Regent, who had held the power of a country for five years, but also because of the meaningful words said by the thin and haggard assassin in black after he was rescued the night before.

"The sky...is sure to change." Grand Duke Zandora muttered to himself, "The hurricane from the north is about to sweep across the continent, and its origin...is here!"

Those commander's wheel palaces did not enter the square in the end, but stayed on the edge of the square. This is because the weight of the commander's wheel palace is too amazing. Even during the transformation, a small magic furnace was added as a The weight-reducing power core still exceeds the limit that the ordinary stone slabs on the square can bear; If the seat of the wheel enters, if the fourth seat also joins in, there will inevitably be collisions or crushing accidents.

Even so, five commanding wheel palaces with a height of tens of meters stood on the edge of the square, which still brought great pressure to the foreign envoys on the viewing platform.Especially those with ulterior motives feel trembling and have to re-examine their own actions. They are openly hostile to such a military power with the power to destroy the country, even with the strongest religious group on the mainland-Guangyao It is probably not a wise choice for the temple to be used as a backer.

And some people have begun to think of a deeper possibility. The group of fanatics in the Temple of Radiance are not benevolent people. They have always used iron and fire to deal with any existence that might threaten the belief of the Lord of Radiance. Big plus to clean up.For example, five years ago, His Majesty King Candom I of the Kingdom of Deldes had just recruited a Heavenly Knight from the ancient Yahan Kingdom in the east with a lot of money, but was bloodbathed by "a group of masked bandits" and he himself was killed by a stick. Golden ropes strangled the throne alive.

No one would think that the bandits killed His Majesty King Candom I, the golden rope - that is the symbol of the Temple of Radiance, and the scars left on the Ahantian Knight's body are like countless scorching fine needles. It is the same as the scar caused by the sun-rayed fighting spirit of Ingram, the head of the Knights of the Sword of Conviction.

However, why did the Temple of Glory choose to back down in the open, and secretly use economic means to stifle the vitality of the Kingdom of Arthur?

Perhaps before the military parade, there were various answers, but after witnessing the strong military strength of the Kingdom of Arthur, everyone couldn't help but have the same answer in their hearts.

The Temple of Glory is not unwilling to see blood staining the earth, but is afraid of the terrible revenge of the Kingdom of Arthur.The four guardian knights of the Glory Temple are indeed elite divisions, but they are not as outstanding as the Griffin Knights and Ash Knights of the Kingdom of Arthur; and in terms of the number of legendary powerhouses, the gap between the two is only It will be even bigger. The Temple of Glory has two famous legendary powerhouses. However, there are as many as five legends in the Kingdom of Arthur who can list their names, not counting the existence of a large number of quasi-legendary powerhouses.

With such an understanding, bitter smiles appeared on the faces of those envoys who had once harbored ulterior motives, but soon changed to expressions of joy.They were very fortunate that due to time constraints, their country had not officially stated its position, let alone launched any hostile actions against the Kingdom of Arthur.

"We must stop the hostile actions against the Kingdom of Arthur! We must!" Someone murmured subconsciously, which aroused voices of approval from all around.

"That's right, the Temple of Glory and the Kingdom of Arthur are both giants. There is no need for us to participate in the desperate struggle between the two giants, otherwise we may be crushed to pieces!"

"For our country, the threat of the Temple of Glory is much more terrifying than the Kingdom of Arthur." An envoy from a small principality put forward a different opinion, "The regent of the Kingdom of Arthur, His Excellency Liveston, has always been lenient. Huai, the reputation is very good, but the Guangyao Temple is not like this, if we refuse to carry out His Majesty's order, what will happen to us?"

"It can't be worse than the King of Arthur's attack." Another messenger pouted and said, "You don't think that with the small land of the Duke of Heluxi, you can resist the fall of the Kingdom of Arthur. Give it a hard blow?"

"The Temple of Glory promised to protect every country that is threatened by foreign force. Didn't the attack launched by the Beast King a few years ago mean that he had to retreat in embarrassment under the attack of the Hammer of Judgment and the Sword of Conviction? The envoy of the small principality retorted somewhat unconvinced, "The Wyvern Knights also claim to be invincible, and the strength of the orc roaring warriors is by no means inferior to the elite troops of the Kingdom of Arthur!"

"The orc invasion force was not defeated by the Guardian Knights of the Shining Temple, but after a period of stalemate and confrontation, they took the initiative to withdraw to their desolate hometown full of mud." Grand Duke Zandora's voice cut through the silence like a sharp knife , The tone was so cold that several envoys who came from nobles in robes shivered. "And the situation is different from a few years ago. The Glory Temple can't protect your country now. They are too selfish, and they also have fear in their hearts. They will never confront the mighty Kingdom of Arthur rashly."
"His Excellency Grand Duke Zandora is right." Someone from the outside agreed loudly, "They will only watch your country be conquered by the army of the Kingdom of Arthur, and at most issue some protest or condemnation statements in order to attack Li Weishi His Excellency's good name."

Among the many agreeing voices, only one voice objected, "The Kingdom of Arthur may not know the tricks of the Shining Temple, and even if they know, they may not choose to attack with troops. After all, there are already dozens of human kingdoms. There hasn't been a major battle in years."

Grand Duke Zandorah suddenly raised his eyes, looking sharply at the person who made the objection, his tone was cold and hard, even overpowering the cold wind whistling in his ears, "Marquis of Dharamkara, this is your personal opinion, Or does it represent the attitude of Philip II of the Kingdom of Florence?"

The head of the mission of the Flores Kingdom nodded somewhat reservedly, "This is my humble opinion, but His Majesty Philip II did not raise any objections to my opinion."

"It seems that the old groundhog has made a mistake of indecision again." Grand Duke Zandora commented bitterly, "I hope this will not make Flora make a wrong decision, Marquis of Dalan Ankara, There is only one thing you are right about—what you have just said is indeed outright foolishness."

A blush of unstoppable rage appeared on the face of the Marquis of Dharam Ankara, but he still knew the identity of the gray-bearded old man standing in front of him. Although his chest was full of anger, he did not dare to speak evil words.Grand Duke Zandora Baron is not only the regent of the knight kingdom of Deldes, but also a decisive and strong-armed figure. For a few years, it was a legendary story that bards often played and sang in taverns.

"Oh, Your Excellency Grand Duke Zandora, your attitude is a bit too aggressive." Viscount Albany's voice was pretending to be relaxed, and then the young and promising Floresian nobleman squeezed into the crowd, holding There was also a crystal glass half filled with summer red wine in it. "Of course your vision is farther than ours, so can you please explain to those of us who are still confused why you assert that the views of the Marquis of Daran are purely foolish? Woolen cloth?"

Grand Duke Zandora was silent for a while, and then explained in a dry tone, "It's very simple, if the Kingdom of Arthur is not prepared to use force, this celebration will not arrange such a large-scale military parade at all. They are the elites of the countries of the Glorious Alliance, may I ask how many years ago the last time the Glory Temple held a military parade to show off its power?"

"Five years ago, Your Excellency Grand Duke Zandora, you should have the deepest memory." Viscount Albany replied with a pointed smile.

The corner of Grand Duke Zandora's mouth twitched, and then he nodded fiercely, "You are right, it was five years ago." He admitted calmly, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him The thing, "A regrettable thing happened in the Kingdom of Deldes at that time. My elder brother, His Majesty King Kandom I, was unfortunately killed by the 'Masked Bandit'..."

There was uncontrollable low laughter from the crowd. The "masked bandit" is the conclusion of the investigation of the killing of Kandom I by the Glory Temple. Everyone knows that it is definitely a prevarication.

Grand Duke Zandora also twisted his mouth. A certain sense of humor will increase the persuasiveness of his language. This point, he was able to use it freely in speeches as early as ten years ago. "Brother Wang, who unfortunately died, reminded all the kings and independent Grand Dukes of the Glorious Alliance. The masked bandits were able to attack the capital of a country in broad daylight and kill the ambitious king. All the people in power among them have the power to seize life and death. In retrospect, there was a lot of discussion at that time, and all the spearheads were pointed at me who replaced the king's brother as the temporary regent. It seems that if I don't roll off the throne of Deldes, The masked bandits will replace the cardinals in the Temple of Glory, as if they have the leadership of the Glory Alliance."

Laughter resumed, but this time some people's voices were a bit awkward, especially the Marquis of Daran and Viscount Albany.What Grand Duke Zandora said is no stranger to most people in the Glory Alliance. After the mysterious death of Candome I of the Kingdom of Deldes, the Kingdom of Florsa, whose national power is the strongest in the Glory Alliance Several principalities were connected in series, and they jointly protested to the Kingdom of Deldes, demanding that Grand Duke Zandora Baron, who replaced Candom I on the throne, step down and find out the truth about Candom I's death.

This joint protest can be said to have touched a certain bottom line of the Temple of Glory, but due to the participation of so many countries, even Cardinal St. Belikov, who upholds a strong stance, did not dare to suppress it lightly.After all, the bloodbath of the four kingdoms sent out by the Four Guardian Knights did not calm down the situation. Instead, it made those kings and grand dukes who were worried about their lives even more nervous, and finally made uncontrollable actions.

The choice of the Glory Temple was to hold an unprecedentedly grand military parade, and invited dignitaries from allied countries to attend the visit.Three huge alchemy flying ships like castles and the force deterrence of thousands of elite apostolic knights made the loud protests disappear quickly, and the cowardly and indecisive Philip II of the Kingdom of Flores even got involved again because of this. Climbing the holy mountain on foot, weeping bitterly to His Majesty Pope Nicholas, begging for forgiveness.

Now it seems that the two military parades feel very similar.

The envoys who can shoulder the important task of sending an envoy to the Kingdom of Arthur are obviously not mediocre. Grand Duke Zandora didn't need to continue talking, and let them all see the facts before them.No matter how good the reputation of the young regent His Excellency is, when Arthur's Kingdom is seriously threatened, he will be able to attack without hesitation, and the sword will be directed at the Glorious Alliance!

The sound of the horn resounded over Firmeyer again, and what followed was the official enthronement ceremony of Her Majesty Fleischer I of the Kingdom of Arthur. The ceremony was held in the audience hall of the palace. The Iron Throne was replaced by the golden Throne. This Golden Throne, which has been a symbol of King Arthur since the time of the Fortification King, was once lost to the devil. Many people thought it would be dismantled and melted. After the fortress, he was surprised to find it in a hall.

The recovery of the Golden Throne is undoubtedly a very auspicious omen. The Radiant Protestant Archbishop Nemok even insisted that this is a sign that the light of the Lord of Radiance, Flandara, shines on Fermeyer again, and it is also the symbol of the golden sun. One of the many miracles that fell.

Now the golden throne is placed in the middle of the audience hall, and hundreds of powerful lords and wealthy nobles of the Kingdom of Arthur gathered under the corridors on both sides to witness this sacred moment together.

"The God of the Earth blesses my king." Vice-Principal Beria, who was wearing a khaki robe from the Temple of the Earth, announced in a deep voice, while holding up the obsidian scepter representing the God of the Earth.

"The god of the sky blesses my king!" The voice of the archbishop of the Temple of Storms, Bovava, was as loud as thunder, and the topaz scepter in his hand was shining with lightning, and it touched the obsidian scepter in the air.

"The Lord of Radiance blesses my king!" The Protestant Archbishop of Radiance Nemoke's voice was louder than everyone else's, and a strong golden light glowed from the sun-rayed scepter that he raised. From a distance, it looked like a miniature sun Landed in Arthur's palace.

With tears in her eyes, Queen Fleisher turned around in front of the golden throne, facing the hundreds of lords and nobles of the Kingdom of Arthur standing on both sides of the audience hall, and then slowly sat down.Li Weiston, who was dressed in military uniform, then quickly stepped onto the high platform, holding the sword of victory and oath in front of his chest with both hands.

"Fleishir Kingsworth." The young regent's voice echoed in the silent audience hall, "Are you willing to take up this burden, become our king, and do your best to benefit the people of the kingdom and bestow upon them Joyful, happy, prosperous life?"

Fraser raised his eyes and met his. "I am willing." Her Majesty the Queen replied softly. Although the tone seemed a little weak, the meaning in the words was extremely firm.

"Leviston." After receiving the sword of victory and oath, which symbolizes military power, she asked almost immediately, "Are you willing to take on this heavy burden, take charge of killing, and defend the territory and subjects of the Kingdom of Arthur with your life? ?”

"I am willing!" Li Wei replied without hesitation.

"Who made this enthronement ceremony? Does he understand royal etiquette? Why does it look a bit like a marriage oath?" Sir Rodriguez, who was standing in the porch watching the ceremony, frowned in confusion.

"Of course our old Dish made the program." Rist Robinson's tone sounded very relaxed, but his fingers were always bent back and forth anxiously, as if he really wanted to pick up his beloved Robinson. Teqin plays the last part. "According to him, this is an ancient etiquette handed down from the time of King Arthur I."

"What kind of etiquette is there in the era when the king was established..." Before the scourge knight with a strange face finished speaking, a burst of earth-shattering cheers erupted in the audience hall, "Long live the Kingdom of Arthur!" "Fleisher I Long live Her Majesty the Queen!" "Long live His Majesty the Regent Lewiston!"

The continuous cheers merged into a passionate movement, passing from the audience hall to all directions, and then the horns sounded, the drums sounded, and thousands of people raised their arms and shouted at the same time, immersing the entire royal capital of Fermeyer Thunderous cheers!
