By the time the sun rose to the eastern half of the sky, the coolness of last night had long since disappeared without a trace. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Olaf Kruger yawned, causing the Governor of Tux Province to Dior Vinscat and the Governor of Orlando Province to yawn one after another.

"Be serious, you guys. Sebastian turned around and whispered.

"It's not the first time I've yawned. I was infected by Olaf. Dio tilted his brows and said aggrievedly.

Kagelon Young quipped, "Hey, Olaf, I'm amazed that you were able to get out of bed this morning, and straighten your back." The parade can be long enough, be careful of weak legs. ”

Olaf looked at Sebastian and frowned: "Thanks to the Prime Minister, the last scene of "The Splendor of the Empire" is exciting and passionate. The Prime Minister has postponed the curfew again, which is really kind. To be honest, I fought all night and didn't sleep at all. Don't worry, Kajielun, I've been whipped by a girl much more gently than you. ”

"Shameless!" said Kaselon Young's face flushed, "why would someone like you be a governor?"

"Because I'm so handsome. Olaf smiled, "If you become prime minister, all the beauties of the country will follow, and Sebastian will have to worry about the expansion of the castle again." So I still go to Sunset Province, which is close to the sea, and there are enough beauties to fit in. ”

Sebastian smiled wryly and interrupted their conversation: "Ignore him, his skin is thicker than the granite walls. "Thank you, friend, for last night I visited the people whom His Majesty the Emperor had offended, and you pretended to be a bard to protect me secretly.

His Majesty the Emperor was restrained last night, and according to Bill Newton, His Majesty "only" drank half a barrel of white wine and "only" ate a small half of a roast suckling pig, saying that it was for today's celebratory banquet to leave some room for the stomach. Right now, His Majesty the Emperor is standing in the middle of the makeshift stands in the square, with Her Majesty the Empress on her left hand side, and the Second Prince on the left hand side of the Empress, holding the hand of the Second Prince tightly, and the Great Prince standing on the right side of the Emperor. On either side of the emperor's family, there were three knights of the imperial guard, behind them, the commander-in-chief of the military department and the generals of the six military regions stood in the second row, and the other important ministers of the court stood in the back rows. Each of the six knights of the Imperial Guard with a team of golden robes lined up on either side of the stands.

At around 10 a.m., the parade finally began. With a uniform pace, the first to cross the square were the Imperial infantry, 100 infantry lined up in a phalanx, dressed in brand new chain mail, which glistened in the sun, with short swords hanging from their waists and round shields wrapped around their arms, and their footsteps sounded like the same person, but the sound was earth-shattering. When they came to the stands, they stood upright and turned around.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Royal Infantry Regiment, is ready for your review. Commander-in-Chief Ludwig shouted.

His Majesty the Emperor raised his right hand: "Royal Infantry Regiment, brave and good at fighting, the Empire is proud of you!"

"For the glory of the Empire!" the infantrymen drew their short swords, struck their small round shields three times in unison, turned around, and walked out of the square.

With the sound of horses' hooves and the neighing of horses, 100 royal knights of the empire appeared before people's eyes. Dressed in heavy plate armor with lightning bolts carved into their breastplates and horses under their crotches, they slowly passed through the square with spears in hand, drawing the screams of the crowd of onlookers.

They came to the stands, and Lerma stopped.

"The Royal Knights have brought out the best equipment. Olaf smiled and said, "Why is Lord Krauser so sad?"

Sebastian heard the Chancellor of the Exchequer frowning and muttered softly, "It's all money, it's all the Reichsmark with white flowers." ”

"A large amount of the taxes and fees we pay throughout the country are spent on these expensive armors. Karen Madison's tone was indignant, "As a result, in wartime, His Majesty the Emperor, in addition to mobilizing the royal army, also requisitioned troops from the provinces, and the knights of the province of Menor, if they were well equipped, could fight two at a time. ”

"Are you questioning the Empire's conscription system?" the Minister of Justice blinked, and the nerd asked inappropriately, Sebastian felt that the nerd was always thinking about the terms of the law, according to Olaf, if the nerd would read the terms of the law first when he slept with his wife.

"No, he's complaining that 800 knights lost to 300 rangers. The 66-year-old Moody Bayer, lord of Gascanique, spoke with pride.

"Those bitches who use bows and arrows when fighting on horseback are despicable!" screamed Karen Madison. Schumacher von Fergert comforted: "Your Excellency, you have been talking about a very long battle, and now we are under the same empire. ”

"He was the one who started it first. "Karen doesn't give up.

Olaf patted Karen on the shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Forget it, my lord, he is old enough to be your grandfather, fight with him, be careful that he has a stroke, that is, 66-year-old loses to 22-year-old, you don't want to be so despicable." He smiled and nodded to Moody Bayer, who didn't know why. Sebastian wanted to laugh.

"Those despicable guys are also coming to the parade. Schumacher raised his chin, and Sebastian followed his gaze, and after the Royal Knights left the square, 100 men in green leather armor, with green oil paint on their faces, bows and arrows on their backs, long swords and a short sword hanging from their waists, rode horses without armor, and slowly walked into the square.

"The Rangers are not at all under the command of the Imperial War Department. Only the Royal Army is eligible to participate in the parade. Sebastian, was it your idea?. Kajielun Young shook his head, "It's a mess." ”

Before Sebastian could speak, Moody Bayer interjected, "The world is changing, Governor Young. The Rangers garrisoned the Great Wall, the most loyal allies of Emperor Rhodes, and the most trusted friends of the Rudolph family. Rangers are not knights, and no one can criticize them for their superior and effective methods of combat. Please be mindful of your words. ”

Not to be outdone, Kajielun Young replied, "As far as I know, the number of Rangers is not as good as before......"

Olaf patted Kagelon on the shoulder to stop him from continuing: "Governor Yang is right, the empire's military strength is not as good as before, and in the case of the navy, the navy was almost completely wiped out during the one-year war. Having the Rangers participate in the parade is both an affirmation of the Rangers and an encouragement to rebuild the Navy, nay, the Empire. With that, he pressed down Kajielun's shoulder.

When Duke Bayer heard Olaf say this, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's still Governor Kruger, who is both sensible and able to speak. After speaking, he raised his head and chest, as if he was dozens of years younger.

After the rangers walked out of the square, Sebastian stretched his legs, trying to stretch comfortably, but he didn't expect General Mach to turn his head and whisper: "Be serious, there is a finale for the parade." ”

Sebastian looked at the square suspiciously, the golden-robed crowd still holding back the crowd, but some of them had already begun to disperse. Suddenly, the fountain in the square splashed and splashed into the crowd, causing screams, and the three sculptures were there, sparks splashed, and the sparks rushed into the sky, scattering in all directions, and the crowd screamed for joy, as if they had seen fireworks, and the person who operated the fireworks stood on the ground, and the ground was slowly rising.

"It's a magician!" the crowd shouted, surprises abounding.

The 10 magicians wore robes of different colors, gray, white, and silver, all of which Sebastian remembered had high ranks.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Imperial Magician Troops, please review. Ludwig said with an uneasy expression.

"Elite! This is the elite of the empire!The trump card of the empire!" His Majesty the Emperor Long Yan Dayue, "10 people, worthy of all the ordinary soldiers in front." Ludwig breathed a sigh of relief.

His Majesty the Emperor said this, Bayer pulled down his face, and Cullen grimaced.

His Majesty's temper just can't be changed, and he invisibly belittles others. Sebastian smiled wryly at the two lords.

"I thought the fountain was broken, and the master craftsman made the tofu dregs project. Olaf patted his chest and whispered, "So it's a circus juggler." Seeing General Mach turning his head with a gloomy face, Olaf shrugged: "Surprise, magic surprises people everywhere." It is worthy of the finale. General Mach looked at Olaf, said no more, and turned back. Olaf winked playfully at the two lords, in exchange for a heartfelt smile from them.

When the magicians retreated, the parade finally ended.

Sebastian looked at the time, it was almost noon, and at this time, the emperor raised his hand, and everyone looked at him quietly.

"The empire has survived for centuries for three reasons: we have great rulers, wise councils, strong armies, and strict laws. "The emperor's eloquence is also very good before drinking, "The law represents the will of the empire, the law represents the authority of the emperor, the law protects the interests of the empire, and the law maintains the order of the empire." Yesterday and the military parade that has just passed, we reviewed the glorious history of the empire, admired the blade of the glory of the empire, and below, let us witness the sanctions of the law. ”

In the square, three prisoner carts were pulled, and the crosses on each prisoner cart were tied to three people, one of them a man with an empty sleeve on his left arm, a short man with a long beard to his chest, a dark beard, and the last one was a red-haired woman. They were withered and looked to be frail.

The executioners erected a gallows under the stands, dragged the three men off the cross, and put ropes around their necks.

"Spike, inciting the mob, was captured by the Knights of the Province of Menor, who attacked four villages and killed at least 10 officials of the Empire. Justice Minister Fred Mann pointed to the man without his left arm.

"Hang him, whoever dares to riot will end up the same. The Emperor said in a loud voice.

"Sean Bernard, nicknamed 'Blackbeard', was a notorious pirate who, during the Empire's wars, hoarded aconite grass to disrupt the Empire's economy and jeopardize the Empire's military operations. Fred Mann announced Blackbeard's guilt.

"Every pirate is an enemy of the Empire. When the empire needed the navy the most, they hid like rats, and like rats, they dug into the walls of the empire. Hang him and let the pirates go to hell!" the Emperor said in a loud voice, using a figurative phrase.

"Serena, in Orlando, you are stealing the property of officials and reselling it for sale. Fred Mann read word for word, "The value of the stolen property is estimated at 1 million Reichsmarks." ”

The crowd above and below the stands let out exclamations.

"A million Reichsmarks, my good dear, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has green eyes if he knows. Olaf sighed.

"Offending Imperial officials, even a woman is unforgivable!" His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, "The Empire will never forgive these thugs, pirates, and thieves. Everyone must bear in mind that if you endanger the empire, you will be killed! Hang them!"

As soon as the executioner pulled the rope, the planks at the bottom of the gallows were opened, the oak barrel fell, and the feet of the three were suspended in the air, and they struggled desperately, foaming at the mouth, rolling their eyes, their tongues were long, and their feet struggled desperately, becoming weaker and weaker, and finally their legs were straight, and their lifeless bodies swayed gently with inertia.

The audience was silent. The emperor shouted, "Long live the Empire!" For a while, everyone scrambled to shout, shouting one after another.

In addition to these three people, there were also two people who were secretly executed, and Bill Newton found a murderer who posed as a magician and was hunted by the emperor as prey.

The celebration is unlucky to kill, and Kajielun is right, and His Majesty does not listen to it at all. Sebastian's heart was bleeding, and he had a bad premonition.
