Before you know it, the New Year is coming again.

The Orc Civil War, which the entire continent is watching, unexpectedly ends with the complete victory of Shikan-Silver Axe on the eve of the New Year.

The orc civil war is currently the only large-scale war currently going on on the continent of Ailan! The end of this war means that the three-year war on the continent may come to an end...

The three-year war gave birth to two large political groups: the Elven Alliance, led by the Elves, and the Common Circle of Ocean Trade, which came together for the purpose of trade.

However, the imaginary peace did not come.

On the first day of the new year, and the third day after the end of the orc civil war, Shikan-Silveraxe completely ignored the elves' request for negotiations, and let the garrison of the Balu Kingdom stationed in Benson Town bring an ultimatum to the Klan City Alliance.

With the entire orc clan and the Stone-Silver Axe that has always been a large coalition force, carrying the victory in the Battle of Lacnivi City, he confidently and arrogantly demands that the Crane City Alliance return all the territories of the Crane Territory within a month, otherwise a new war will come again!

Shikan-Silveraxe's tough announcement caught the Crane City League off guard. Immediately afterward, the Kingdom of Balu left the negotiating table of the Crane Alliance and gathered its army to return to the city, so that a New Year's banquet to be held in the city of Crane was ruined.

It seems that a new war is coming again!

...

In the eastern part of the continent, the newly established kingdom of Krulia celebrates the arrival of the New Year throughout the country. The city of Crewe, the capital of the kingdom, has been cheering since this morning.

This New Year is very important for this new country, as it is the first New Year after the establishment of the kingdom.

For today's celebration, the Royal Cabinet and local governments have been preparing for this celebration since a month ago. Moreover, orcs, werewolves, and even hostile elves sent emissaries to show their friendship to the kingdom's king, Pedi Reagan.

Nine a.m.,

In the sprawling meeting room of the Kawalburg Vestibule Cabinet Residence, Pedi Reagan first welcomed the new king of the Kingdom of Baru, Meru, and the personal representative of Shikan Silver Axe, Kesai.

"The King of Humanity!" Kersay, dressed in the leather armor of an orc, rushed forward as soon as he saw Pedy, "Remember the battle of Benson Town? I am the commander of that war, Khsey. ”

"I was the commander of the Fifth Imperial Legion, in charge of the defense of Benson Town!" Pedi generously admitted, "It was the first time in my life that I commanded a large-scale legion battle, a battle that I remember deeply. ”

Kesai's eyes suddenly turned blood-red, "That fire caused my army heavy losses... At that time, I swore to those heroic spirits that if I could see you again, I would avenge them. ”

"Restrain your murderous spirit, orc. Without waiting for Pedi to speak, the kingdom's military minister on the side, Sira Marne, poured holy power into her whole body and her hands, "If you don't want to become a puddle of flesh." ”

"Haha!" Pedi laughed heartily instead of being angry, "I welcome your challenge at will, but only if you convince your chief to go to war with me!" he said with the casualness of his master and the generosity of a king. Before Kesai could say something, he stopped Sira Marne, who was about to come forward, and said with a smile, "If you don't mind letting the orc tribe bleed, I'm always ready to welcome your challenge. ”

"Interesting threat..."

"Do you take this as a threat?" asked Pedi quickly.

The two of them were already close to each other as they spoke, and they could already feel each other's breathing and heartbeat.

The two sides confronted each other for a few seconds, and in the tense atmosphere, Kesai took two steps back and bowed his waist, and said in a voice that was obviously unwilling: "Our Great Chief asked me to greet you, the king of mankind. ”

"Please also bring my blessing to your Great Chief. Pedi smiled in response.

When Kesai raised his head and straightened his waist, he added, "I wish we could meet again on the battlefield..."

"Kesai, there should be a degree of rudeness. "You now represent the entire orc clan, and your words and deeds represent your Great Chief," he pointed to the recorder in the room, "Every word you say will be recorded, put away your arrogance and think about why your Great Chief let you come here." ”

Kesai listened to the familiar voice, and his eyes fell on the Morinda standing next to the throne. He looked at the familiar face and frowned, and did not continue to speak. At this time, Kebot on the side seized the opportunity and gently pushed the stunned Meru.

Young Meru immediately came to his senses, and bowed down with the etiquette of an audience with the king, saying, "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Balu is listening to your voice. ”

"My friend, it's a pleasure for you to visit. Pedi personally stepped forward to help Mairu and hugged him warmly.

As a king, Meru is trying to maintain the reserved attitude he deserves in the presence of another king. However, whenever he thought of the prosperity of the Kingdom of Kruria, as well as the huge city of Kru, he couldn't help but feel a little inferior and unconfident in his heart.

He had low self-esteem that his royal life was not as affluent as that of an ordinary middle-class family in Crewe, and the poverty of the country was the source of his lack of self-confidence.

"Kebot, we're meeting again. Pedi looked at the middle-aged man next to him.

"Yes, Your Majesty Pedi. Kebot looked as humble as he could, and the last time the two saw each other was in the arena. That time, if Kebot didn't have the Elven Treasure, he would have died under Pedi's warhammer.

When Kersai, Meru, and Kebot, led by the castle's hostess, had taken their seats in the seats that had been prepared for them, three goblins in pitch-black suits walked through the door of the parlor.

These are the three ruling princes of the Kingdom of Klikla!

At the forefront, with a pair of mechanical eyes, was Prince Crennet, Pedy Reagan's earliest partner, and behind him was Prince Beregor, who had a somewhat old face, and Prince Brimck, who was always wearing a bowler hat.

"Hey, Lord Pedy, my best friend, it's a pleasure to see you again. "Krennet saluted gracefully like a human nobleman.

"Lord Pedi, you seem to be getting taller and taller. Beregor smiled humorously, "Your lab should let me take a stake, that stupid Krennet doesn't know anything about magic technology and mechanics." ”

"Who do you say is stupid!"

"That idiot named Krennet. ”

Ignoring the quarrel between the two, the young Brimke bowed, "Happy New Year, Lord Pedi, and it is a pleasure to attend the first New Year's party in the Kingdom of Kruria, and perhaps in many years our name will appear in the pen of historians. "When he speaks, he is a bit like those scholars at the Imperial Capital of Youen University.

"It is also my honor to have you here. Pedi smiled back.

Edwin Filmin walked quickly over to the three princes as Pedy spoke, and after muttering a few words before the three spoke again, he managed to invite them to their next seats.

Then, at Pedi's signal, the door to the parlor was opened again.

This time, the first to walk in was Cornelia, one of the twelve directors of the Mage Tower, who also had the identity of Pedy's sister Phyllis's magic mentor in the Mage Tower.

Behind Cornelia is a night elf in a robe, a ranger general from the Naren Forest, and at the end there are uninvited emissaries from the Duchy of Suluk, emissaries from the city-state alliance, and so on.

The meeting was very harmonious, at least on the surface, and in a harmonious atmosphere, the opening of the party was ushered in...

Twilight Square, the largest square in Crewe, was now crowded with people who had come to attend the ceremony, and the streets and rooftops of houses farther away were also full of people.

In the distance, city police and garrison corps patrolled, and farther on the city walls were two corps of regular soldiers urgently deployed.

In the school yard of the castle, the two heavily armed heavy cavalry corps, the knight guard, the naval officers and soldiers, the magician brigade, the elite pikeman phalanx, the goblin mercenaries who were invited, and the totem warrior brigade of the Balu Kingdom were lined up in turn, and the battle flags in the wind were ringing.

Amid the thunderous roar of joy and drumming, Pedi led his cabinet members and envoys to the attic in front of the castle grounds.

In an instant, the cheers were louder.

At this moment, it was as if the winter chill had been dispelled, and the heat wave that could be felt clearly infected Pedi and the others behind him.

Pedi squinted blankly at the quiet military columns in the school yard in the sun's rays, and then looked up at the almost endless crowd in the plaza outside and on the street in the distance.

"My Prime Minister, do you need so many people?" even Pedi himself was a little surprised by what he saw.

"I didn't do that. Daisily Pombo shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm dying there are fewer people now... Because you have lifted the restrictions on the inner and outer cities, in addition to the citizens of the inner city, many workers and laborers in the outer city are also..."

"Now is not the time to talk about that. Irene Phil interrupted the Prime Minister as she handed a copy to Pedi, "Please start your speech..."

Pedi smiled, took the manuscript, glanced at it, and looked at the crowd gathered in the square again, and at the same time that the shouts of the waves shook Pedy's eardrums, and he felt a mountain of pressure on his shoulders.

At the very front of the attic is a megaphone provided by the goblins. This thing has not yet been mass-produced, and for today's ceremony, Pedi specially rented it from the Goblin Prince Berego.

Of course, Pedi can also rely on the Holy Power to convey the sound to the square outside. At the same time, Erin Phil has more than ten ways to help him amplify his voice.

However, Pedi didn't like those ways.

At this moment, looking at the loudspeaker that was close at hand, Pei Di suddenly felt a little nervous.

It was an indescribable tension, and the moment he looked at the microphone, it was as if someone was tugging at his heart with his hand, making his heart beat uncontrollably violently.

"Beloved, you are their king. Eileenfield's ringing in Pedy's ears.

Prime Minister Daisily Pombo also whispered: "Your Majesty, your people are preparing to listen to you. ”

"Whew..."

Taking a deep breath didn't solve Pedy's nervousness, but at the moment there was no way back, so he had to bite the bullet.

Prince Berego followed closely behind him as Pedi stepped forward, and as Pedi planned to give his speech, Prince Berego pulled out a golden key from his pocket and inserted it into the key port under the microphone of the megaphone.

A few seconds later, the originally gray megaphone was covered in a complex glow of glittering blue-purple runes.

Pedi took another deep breath and then pointed the microphone, "My people..."

The sound was so loud that even Pedi himself was startled,

In the originally noisy square, because of the sound made by Pedi, it suddenly became eerily quiet, as if a fire that could have covered the sky was suddenly extinguished.

"New..."

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Just as Pedi was about to give his speech, the square erupted in cheers again, louder than at the beginning. This cheer was like a sudden thunderclap under a clear sky, which made everyone in the attic, including Pei Di, visibly startled.

Prince Berego said with palpitations: "Is there an insurance business in the Kingdom of Kruria, I was almost scared into shock just now. ”

"You should have gone to hell a long time ago... If you don't die, your two sons will die before you. Prince Colenneo whispered sarcastically to hide the embarrassment he had just been frightened.

"Ahem" Pedi coughed heavily as he held the microphone, hiding his embarrassment and reminding his two allies of where they were. The two goblin princes closed their mouths in amusement when they heard Pedi's cough, and the cheers of the people gradually became quieter by this time.

Pedi unveiled the microphone while trying to calm down:

"Happy New Year, I am your king... Pedy Reagan,

I'm a little nervous right now... Or excited... Perhaps I should read the report on the establishment of the Kingdom with solemnity, and then declare that we should use the new calendar to commemorate the establishment of our Kingdom.

In the past two and a half years, the Kru have experienced the Orc invasion war, the Twak War, and the Empire.

Most of you here have experienced these wars, some have lost their sons, some have lost their husbands, some have lost their fathers...

Our sacrifice has been rewarded with victory,

In the end, we repelled the invaders,

And left behind the legend of the valor of our warriors beyond the kingdom!

At this moment, I stand here, looking at you, with mixed feelings,

When the ancient empire lost its original glory, and the brilliant Danediv family could no longer give us refuge, we were not defeated,

We used our hands to cut through the darkness of the night and bring the dawn!

After my coronation two months ago, I would love to go door-to-door and tell you in person... Our own kingdom of the Crewe people was formed.

The Crewe have ushered in the establishment of their own country!

Now, what I'm going to tell you is,

From today onwards, we will use the calendar of the Kingdom of Kruria,

Today is January 1st of the first year of the Kingdom of Kruriria!"

While Pedi was speaking, there was relative silence inside and outside the Twilight Square, and countless citizens looked at the vague figure in the attic of the castle, listening intently to the speech.

When the speech ended, the square of tens of thousands of people, the neat school field of the army, still remained quiet.

They were so immersed in Pedy's speech that they couldn't help themselves!

After a long time, the first to react was the heavy cavalry corps in the school grounds, and their commander, Knight Wren, stepped forward, raised his head to look at the king in the attic, raised his hands and shouted excitedly: "Long live your majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

The neat voices of the knights sounded,

"Long live Your Majesty!"

More soldiers shouted,

"Long live Your Majesty!"

The aristocrats, merchants, workers, and people in the square shouted excitedly,

"Long live the Kingdom of Kruria!"

Pedi yelled into the microphone...
