At the end of the month, the harvest festival arrives.

On the outskirts of the city of Plenty, infantry and cavalry, dressed in shiny armor and armed with long swords, heavy swords, or spears, lined up in a neat phalanx, entering through the west gate and leaving through the east gate.

The five-kilometre-long straight streets are the arena for their performances, and countless people will witness the parade.

Three thousand people, thirty phalanxes, brought an unparalleled shock to the noble lords who watched the parade.

Earl Shelley was surprised and asked, "Your Excellency, have all your troops come today?"

Renard shook his head and smiled: "How is it possible, now that the demon plague is so serious, I need at least most of the people to stay in the cities and villages to ensure the safety of the people, what you see is only the elite soldiers who have been carefully selected." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a phalanx of infantry who were about to enter the doorway: "Have you noticed that these people are almost the same height, and it took me a lot of effort to pick them out and get them together. ”

When the lords heard what he said, they were shocked in their hearts, the county of Meredith had such a strong military force, which they had never expected before.

Although the number of soldiers participating in the parade is small, the momentum has already achieved a deterrent effect.

After the light infantry, two hundred heavily armored infantry appeared, holding a steel shield more than half a man tall and nine millimeters thick in their left hand, and a Mo sword in their right hand.

This was followed by the light cavalry, then the heavy cavalry, musketeers and artillery finale.

Although the average strength of musketeers and artillery was that of low-level warriors, with advanced firearms, the actual combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of any army, and the artillery was even enough to inflict a fatal blow on the heavy cavalry.

Duke Edmund stood beside Baron Hammigton and said with some emotion: "In a while, the strength of the county of Meredith will surpass Ignaz City and be proud of the entire Southern Wilderness County. ”

He sighed and said with a wry smile: "In another twenty years, I'm afraid Fort Duncan will have to look up to it, and then no one will be the opponent of this army except for those few marquis with low eyes and high skills in the north of the kingdom." ”

It was not only the Duke of Edmund who thought the same way, but most of the nobles who participated in the parade thought so.

And the people of the county of Meredith, regardless of what the nobles think, only love good food and wine, and of course, good performances and shocking military parades.

The taverns and inns along the main east-west road were full of diners, and the window seats even began to charge, and countless people eagerly waited for the arrival of the army phalanx.

Countless people greeted them, countless people cheered, and countless people scattered flower petals from the upper floors.

Of course, scattering the petals was arranged by Renard, and ordinary people don't have this spare money.

In addition to increasing the sense of ceremony and cheerful atmosphere of the military parade, arranging these also has a very special significance, so arrange plainclothes to go in to prevent someone from secretly causing damage.

There should be no conspiracy or anything, but there will always be those who are cheaply throwing out something that shouldn't be there.

For example, there was a mercenary who participated in several recruitments, and was rejected because he failed the political examination, so he wanted to make the parade ceremony ugly, and prepared several large buckets of boiling water to be splashed.

As a result, before he could do anything, he was discovered and arrested by the special service team.

There is no civilized law enforcement in this world, and there is no lawyer to defend it, and after being caught, he was first beaten fat, and then thrown into a water prison to be accompanied by rats.

If the estimation is correct, this guy won't come up with it in three or five years.

Of course, this is just a small episode at the parade, and no one pays attention to it at all.

The parade went on as usual, and it went extremely smoothly, and after passing through the city, the parade began to practice martial arts in the eastern part of the city.

Bows, horses, swords, and swords are all in battle, there are infantry phalanx sparring, infantry against cavalry, and cavalry against cavalry.

Because of their great power and uncontrollable power, firearms could only be used for target combat, and a hundred cannons were fired in unison, directly bombarding the small hills in the distance into flat ground.

It was the first time that many nobles had seen the power of artillery, and they couldn't help but sigh, wondering if they could form a firearm unit themselves.

However, after asking the price, they dismissed this idea one after another, three hundred gold coins and a cannon, it is better to form a cavalry squadron with this money.

The parade was followed by the grandest dinner, attended by about 200 nobles, and their relatives, totaling more than 600.

Due to the size of the banquet hall, Renard had to set up a temporary banquet hall in the garden and start the buffet barbecue mode.

Everyone didn't feel abrupt, after all, outdoor barbecue is also the most popular way to feast.

The soup fire dispelled the chill of early spring, and under the stimulation of alcohol, everyone began to dance on the grass.

Renard improvised a piano piece – Castle in the Sky.

Suddenly, the originally lively banquet hall fell silent.

Heidi's eyes showed an incredible look, she knew that the people of the Constantinople Empire called Renard a master of music, but she didn't expect the other party to have such a superb musical talent.

Selina and Betty's eyes were full of adoration, and at the same time, they were mixed with inexplicable emotions, such an excellent man would actually be their husband.

Baron Hammidon was dumbfounded, for he had never seen Renard touch a piano, and that he was now performing better than any great musician he knew.

At the end of a song, there is always a feeling of unfinished business.

Heidi walked up to him and asked softly, "Anything else?"

Renard thought for a moment, tilted his head in dismay, and then played his best piano song—dedicated to Alice.

When he remembered this piano piece, he couldn't help but look at Alice, and the other party was also looking at him intently.

looked at each other, and suddenly collided with fierce sparks.

Everyone in the banquet hall held their breath for fear that the sound of their own breathing would spoil the beautiful melody, and Renard himself gradually reveled in the performance.

When the man concentrated, he always looked very charming, and the aristocratic lady in the banquet hall was almost fascinated.

After playing for Alice, Renard's fingers paused for more than ten seconds, and then under the eager gaze of everyone, he played the wedding of his dreams.

At the end of the three songs, everyone was still intoxicated.

Heidi was the first to come to her senses and asked, "Did you write these three pieces?"

Renard nodded naturally and said, "It's just improvisation." ”

Heidi's breath was a little short, and she asked again, "Did you pick a name?"

Renard thought about it, and felt that it was shameful enough for him to plagiarize, and it would be a little unauthentic to change the name of the song without permission, so he nodded.

Everyone gathered around for fear of missing the names of these three songs.
