Section 8 Declaration of Peace
The buildings near the Lion Castle are still so magnificent, but the ruins of the Divine Glory Theater are also so conspicuous, and the Divine Glory Cathedral, which has not been taken over until now, seems to be two worlds from the surrounding bright buildings.
Today, however, the focus is not on these two decaying buildings.
Today's Victory Square has taken off the old-fashioned style of the imperial rule, nor the lifelessness of the city-state period, nor the slaughter of Penny Danedive's rule, but has a jubilant scene.
At this moment, Victory Square was full of people, including nobles, merchants, and ordinary ten people from the outer city.
For most of the citizens of the outtown, it was their first time in Victory Square, and many were fascinated by the splendid buildings and shops that surround it, while others were impressed by the ruins of the other half that remained after the war. On the whole, however, the atmosphere in the square was not bad, with nobles and commoners lined up on either side of the makeshift platform outside the gate of the Lion Castle, with the knights of the Royal Order separating them by a wide passage.
Led by the knights of the guards, the guests from afar slowly walked to the high platform, on which the king and queen of the Kingdom of Crulia greeted the guests with a smile on their faces.
Gorgeous flowers continue to scatter from the attic of the nearby building, and the light fragrance of flowers surrounds the entire Victory Square while presenting a celebratory and beautiful picture. The townspeople shouted the name of their new king, the nobles remained reserved, and the guests from afar focused only on the young king on the high platform.
In the midst of the stirring jubilation, Thrandil, Shikan-Silveraxe, Walter, Bichelt, and the three goblin princes walked to the bottom of the high platform, and looked at the ministers of the kingdom near the high platform, such as Andy Barrett, Sira Marne, Bipp Weiss, and Bavi Perrotton.
"King Pedi!" the stone can-silver axe bowed slightly to the human king on the high platform in the eyes of everyone.
"King Pedi!" Thranduil saluted with the same grace.
Then, the werewolf consul Walter, the dwarven prince Bichelt, the three goblin princes, and the retinue of messengers from various countries saluted the human king one after another.
The cheers of the common people suddenly increased at this moment, and countless people shouted "Long live His Majesty", and many young nobles in the noble crowd on the other side could not hold back the excitement in their hearts, chanting the title of ruler of the kingdom to pour out the resentment that had been suppressed in their hearts for five years.
"My friends, welcome to you. Pedi's voice was drowned out by the cheers around him, and after the crowd saluted, he walked down the platform amidly, shook hands with Shikan-Silveraxe and Thranduil, and waved to the crowd around him.
"King Pedi, your people have a smile on their faces. After greeting each other to the young king, the Consul Walter said: "The people of the kingdom of Misha do not have such smiles, and perhaps our two countries should have more profound exchanges." ”
"The people of the Kingdom of Kruria welcome all friends with good intentions. Pedi smiled in response, then looked at the old goblin merchant beside the werewolf.
"I came to the city with plenty of money, a whole fleet and thirty thousand elite mercenaries. The Goblin Prince Berego made no secret of what he wanted to do, "I'm going to invest in the Suker Plains, and I'm going to the battlefield of Feld's Territory." ”
"Don't take his word for it, his fleet is a converted merchant ship, my fleet is the real warship, and there are countless well-trained elite musketeers, and we can bring our own artillery!" Brimke glanced at his rival with disdain, and although he had said these words countless times last night, he still took the trouble to tell the young human king.
Krennet also emphasized: "My soldiers are the best, and I am the most well-funded. ”
"Your Highnesses, you have signed the Agreement of Alliance, and it is your duty and obligation to send troops to attack the Immortal Legion. Pedi knew very well how to deal with the goblin merchants, and he pretended to be helpless, "You must honor your agreement, otherwise you will lose the trust of all the kingdoms on the continent." ”
"Our credit is known all over the continent. Clennett puffed up his chest.
"That's right!" the other two princes immediately chimed in, and they instantly agreed on the matter.
"Believe me, as long as you win our friendship in the war, your business can be done in every corner of the Alan Continent. Pedi looked around.
"Don't worry..."
"Your Highnesses, we have limited time, and everyone is waiting for you. Siala Marne spoke to stop the three princes from continuing the conversation, knowing full well that if the three men were allowed to continue, the people present would have to stand here for at least half an hour.
Pedi shrugged his shoulders and took a decisive step back, looking at Shikan-Silveraxe and Thrandil, "Now, let the people of Suker City come to witness our friendship. ”
With that, he made an inviting gesture.
Shikan-Silveraxe and Thrandir didn't refuse, they nodded in agreement as they turned sideways to let the human king go first...
As Pedi and his queen led their guests up the platform to look around the crowd in the square, the noise slowly fell silent.
Countless pairs of expectant, suspicious, and eager eyes fell on the young human king.
Since the beginning of the Orc War, the people of Sukh City have welcomed their new ruler after several upheavals, and most of the citizens have been wiped out by the long-term misery and poverty that they have nurtured since the beginning of the war, and they hope that this time the ruler will lead them back to their former stability and glory.
"Subjects of the kingdom, I am your king... Pedy Reagan, what you call a country king. Pedi's humorous words were heard through a megaphone in every corner of Victory Square, to the neighborhoods beyond:
"The Goddess's favor allows me to stand here and reunite the shattered human kingdom, which has proven to be destroyed by no power, and now... We're back together!
In the past five years, like you, I have experienced countless wars and betrayals, which are unforgettable and painful memories, in the war, on that bloody battlefield, there is no family affection, no friendship, only cold blood.
The war left us only wailing, begging, crying....both our final victory and the lives of many soldiers!
In the midst of the endless wars, I saw countless houses ruthlessly destroyed, many people forced to leave their homes, and more than once I saw the winding roads filled with fleeing refugees, whose frightened and helpless eyes I will never forget.
So, I vow to put an end to this never-ending war!
Now, I did!
Five years ago, we shouted war, but now ... I want to shout peace!
Five years ago, the orc tribes invaded our land with hostility and war, but now we have a common enemy, and now they come to Suke City with the same desire as we do!
Destroy the undead legions in exchange for eternal peace for the peoples of all ethnic groups!
This is our common wish!
So, I accepted!
Because I want peace too!"
"Bang la bang" fierce applause resounded over the square, countless people shouted excitedly, and the pain of five years of war made many people look forward to peace.
"Today, we stand here only for peace and friendship!" Pedi's voice rang out with applause: "Humans, elves, orcs, werewolves, goblins, northerners, dwarves, at this moment will give up all previous hatred and usher in eternal peace, and you... This sacred occasion will be witnessed!
I, King of the Kingdom of Cruria, Pedy Reagan, swear under the gaze of the gods:
I will do my best to break the invasion of the undead legions, and I will devote my life to peace with the people of all ethnic groups, and anyone who obstructs peace will become my enemies!"
As the king's solemn and warning words echoed over the square, Shikan-Silver Axe stood beside the human king under the reminder of his attendants, looked around at the people of Sukh City on the left and right, and bowed slightly, "I, the Khan of the Orc Kamok Khanate, Shikan-Silver Axe, on behalf of all orcs, swear under the gaze of the gods:
The orcs will devote all their strength to attack the stronghold of the undead legion, destroy all evil beings on the continent of Alan who try to subvert our orderly life, and work with King Pedy-Reagan to devote themselves to the cause of peace on the continent, and all the forces that hinder the coexistence of all races will also become my mortal enemies!"
As soon as Shikan-Silveraxe's words landed, Thranduil stepped forward: "I, the first general of the Naryn Forest Elven Kingdom, Thrandil, on behalf of all the clansmen, swear an oath under the gaze of the gods:
My people and I will fight to the death with all the life force against the undead army to the end, the peace of the mainland is an important cornerstone to resist the forces from time to time, and all the forces that dare to obstruct the orderly life of the mainland from realizing true peace will be the enemies of nature!"
