Chapter 144.2

All the guards and cavalry of the Luolin family got on their horses, and a golden bell was hung on everyone's horses. In the light trampling of the horse's hooves, the clear and sweet bell was interwoven.

Surrounded by the elite guards of the three hundred Rowlings, Du Wei followed his father to the central square outside the imperial city.

The central square is the largest square in the Imperial City, with its back against the Imperial Palace and facing the whole imperial city. The square is large enough to accommodate the inspection of tens of thousands of troops. The long streets on both sides are extremely wide. All of them are paved with solid and flat blue stone slabs, which is enough for five or six carriages to drive side by side.

Every summer festival day, there will be a lively celebration activities. On the top of the Imperial City, the emperor will personally come on the high platform to preside over the celebration ceremony. On the high platform which has been built on both sides, there will be some aristocratic positions. At the same time, some high-level personnel of the temple and the magic trade union will be invited to participate.

On the square below, there will be a military parade, as well as a long line of spontaneous processions and celebrations.

When Du Wei and others came to the square, it was almost noon. Along the way, Du Wei was silent, and his expression was very calm. Even when he saw that the street was full of armed guards, Du Wei's face was very calm, and he didn't ask or say anything. He didn't say a word. It seemed that he had expected it would be like this.

A large number of 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 queues are almost 1000 meters away.

When he arrived at the square, the count got off his horse and actually took Duwei's hand by himself. Then he took Duwei all the way to the platform under the imperial city. The high platform has been set up, and many aristocrats of the imperial capital have arrived. However, Du Wei glanced over and found that many aristocrats were not relaxed. Some people secretly looked at count Raymond with a worried look on their faces.

Ordinary people may not understand today's abnormal situation, but these noble families do! What's more, the guards had sent a large number of soldiers to patrol around the noble's house two days ago. It has attracted a lot of attention. But strangely, some nobles were quite dissatisfied with this, and some even sent people to the palace to protest, but the emperor did not see them at all!

The crowd below was noisy. Dewey sat on the high platform and looked down at the ordinary people who were still immersed in the happy atmosphere of the celebration day. He couldn't help sighing.

Finally, at noon. When the sun was hanging in the middle of the sky, the golden gate of the palace slowly opened, and a group of guards in gold armor rode out slowly on a pure white horse, followed by the guard of honor, holding the horn high. This is also a tradition left by the Aragorn era.

After that, there were all kinds of court officials, court guards and court maids. The court guards of honor, the court scholars, and so on, all came out in line. Finally, two powerful men, who were two meters tall, bared their upper bodies and exposed their rock like muscles, came out with a golden drum.

The horn stopped. Two strong men beat the drums

Dong! Dong! Dong

A heavy drumbeat seems to knock on people's heart! The drums spread far away, and the people who heard the drums in the distance gradually stopped the noise... As we all know, according to the traditional ceremony, the emperor is about to appear!

At the end of twelve drums, the ruler of the Roland Empire, his Majesty the present emperor. The most powerful man on this continent: Augustine VI. Finally.

With a loud clarion call, all the nobles on the stage stood up. Facing the gate of the Imperial City, he leaned slightly, while some military generals were standard knightly.

Du Wei looked at his father, but found count Raymond face calm, facing the gate of the Imperial City, but still straight! Some people around had already shot surprised eyes, but at this time, no one dared to ask him what.

Dewey finally saw what his majesty Augustine VI looked like

Only these two of his men followed the emperor closely. Others, even the two sons of the emperor, could only be placed 20 meters away from him.

Du Wei saw Prince Chen. Prince Chen still had a calm and warm smile. He stood beside a chair on the left side of the emperor's head. He seemed not to care about what happened today. He even gave Du Wei a friendly smile.

And the prince, up to now, has not appeared.

Augustine VI's eyes swept through the audience, his eyes like an old lion, though old. But still full of dignity, Dewey saw only one thing in the eyes of the Emperor: the eagle looked at the wolf!

"Then... Let's start!"

Augustine's voice is very hoarse, he does not have too much nonsense, just simply said such a sentence, and then sat down.

With the emperor sitting on the chair and waving his hand, the two powerful men behind him immediately beat the huge drum hard again. With the rapid sound of the drum, it spread out

In the distance, at the end of the long street. At once, a loud and clear horn came, and duvet immediately felt a killing air coming from the distance!

Armor shining in the sun, as if plated with a layer of gold in general! A group of about 3000 soldiers, the most elite infantry of the guards, wearing the best armor, formed a long square array, slowly coming at the end of the street! The footstep of the soldiers is very neat. The whole square array looks like a knife cut out!

Step on the ground. It's very rhythmic, Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua sound

The crowd began to cheer, people on both sides of the road, from time to time ready flowers toward the middle of the road through the local array thrown out, but those soldiers are not chaotic. The firm footstep tramples the petals all the way towards the central square of the imperial city.

"Father." Dewey, looking at the square of soldiers, suddenly turned his head and gave count Raymond a smile. Then he said with a low smile, "when will your program begin?"

Count Raymond looked calm. "Soon."

With count Raymond's voice just falling, the infantry square has gradually passed through the central square. Under the emperor's eyelids, 3000 people pull out their swords with neat and uniform movements, and 3000 bright swords point to the sky!

Augustine VI nodded with a smile and raised his hand to the soldiers

At this moment, the long street is far away. All of a sudden came the sound of the horse's hooves!

The sound of hooves is like thunder!

With the exclamation from the crowd in the distance, a team of heavily armored cavalry came galloping! These cavalry are obviously the elite among the elite. All the cavalry on the horse wear at least three levels of Knight badge, uniform black steel armor, uniform black horse, uniform red cape! The alternation of black and red, combined into an amazing "iron and blood" symbol!

The closed helmet makes it impossible to see the knight's face. And thousands of cavalry came all the way. The horse's hooves trampled on the blue stone road, making a very rhythmic thunder! These elite knights. The skill of controlling horses is also the best. The cavalry of 1000 people actually form a long line, compact and neat, even the sound of the horse's hooves is so consistent!

When they came near the square, the cavalry suddenly slowed down. Under the good control of the horses, none of them disordered the rhythm and stopped neatly under the imperial city. A thousand Knights suddenly split into two teams like a wave. Then in the wave, a Golden Knight slowly stepped out of the line!

This knight is also riding a black horse. His armor is completely golden. I don't know if it is made of any special magic material. There is a faint magic wave on the armor that makes duvet's heart beat!

The knight on the horse rode out and gently took off his helmet. The bright red cape behind him was hunting in the wind. Du Wei saw him clearly... At the first glance, Du Wei immediately confirmed that this must be the prince!

The eldest prince's appearance looks similar to that of the old emperor. Compared with Prince Chen, he is less gentle and kind, but more murderous! But different from the old emperor's majesty, the big prince's eyes were more fierce!

"My Lord." Du Wei was looking at the prince. There were footsteps and low voices behind him. A middle-aged general came quickly to the count's back. He looked 40 years old, smart and capable. He was wearing light armour, which was the standard dress of a Guard officer. He whispered to the count: "the outer city is arranged."

Count Raymond nodded, then looked at Dewey, and suddenly said, "Dewey, let me introduce you. This is general Juncker of the second division of the guards, and a friend of mine for many years."

Dewey didn't have time to look at the Juncker, because suddenly, there was a scream on the square!

I saw the prince on the horse, suddenly pulled out his sword, far away, on the horse, pointed to the high platform under the imperial city with the blade! Point to Augustine VI sitting on the high platform!

"Your Majesty... Father!" The prince's voice came steadily, even in such a noisy occasion, his voice still fell into everyone's ears! Obviously, the prince's martial arts skills have a considerable level!

"Dear father." The prince's voice with a trace of awe inspiring, loudly cried: "excuse me, the sword in my hand, can be sharp?"

As soon as the words came to an end, thousands of knights around him cried out in a majestic voice: "Li!"

This roar almost scared some close distance people to sit on the ground!

"Father! My samurai, is it majestic! "

The Knights yelled, "mighty!"

The prince flicked the edge of the sword, looked at Augustine VI with sharp eyes, and asked aloud, "such a sharp sword, such a mighty warrior! Are you qualified to take over this great empire

……

The audience was shocked!

Augustine VI was still sitting in his chair, but his face was so gloomy that his palms were shaking

A thousand heavy knights, red guns dancing, sword pointing to Augustine VI on the platform! The eldest prince looked at his father like a sword, and then his sigh spread throughout the audience, coldly and decidedly said: "father, you have hesitated for more than 20 years. Today, I have to get an answer, just today!" At this moment, the sky was overcast and covered with sunshine. In an instant, darkness enveloped the imperial capital
