The cardinal, dressed in a crimson robe, humbly bowed to the new emperor of the empire and took out the crown adorned with the inscription of the precious jade from the tray covered with red velvet held by the priest beside him.

He recited hymns and blessings, proclaiming Arthur's coronation as the legitimacy of the emperor's jurisprudence and teachings.

He also righteously pointed out that anyone who does not submit to him can be punished for treason, and will go to the Pope to punish him with excommunication.

Excommunication is a terrible punishment in these days, meaning that you and your realm will be called heretics, and any feudal lord can call for a crusade against you.

In the history of the earth, Queen Elizabeth supported Puritanism and persecuted Catholics, was excommunicated by the Pope and declared heretical, and the Spanish Armada was a "crusade" against British heresy.

Therefore, in this era of equal clerical and imperial power, the coronation of cardinals is inevitable, not a mere show.

Moreover, "the one who draws the sword in the stone is the king", which was a law set by the first emperor of the empire, and it was notarized by the church, but after all, it is very old, and many people do not know this, or only regard it as a legend.

The Church will therefore have to re-prove it.

The lengthy ceremony did not make the golden-armored knight in a bright red cloak feel any impatience, and his erect figure was like a favorite of God, showing a perfect knightly demeanor in every word and deed, which was awe-inspiring.

Arthur, or King Arthur, gazed at the noisy nobles and knights, and when his majestic and peaceful eyes swept over anyone's body, they would be flattered and surprised, as if he remembered everyone, whether insignificant or not.

At this moment, when the cardinal archbishop was about to put the crown on the top of Arthur's head, he suddenly snatched the crown from the bishop's hand and smiled gently.

The cardinal archbishop was stunned for a moment and whispered: "Your Majesty, please return the crown to me, I will crown you." ”

King Arthur shook his head: "Don't work hard. ”

He put the crown on top of his head and glanced at the aristocrats, knights and commoners in an uproar, a confident smile on his lips.

He suddenly waved his arms and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, the pillars and foundations of the Empire, today, I, Arthur Pendragon, promise that the Empire will return to unity in my hands. ”

"Justice will prevail!"

Ignoring the cardinal's pale face, he realized that the new emperor was no longer the young and deceitful old king of the past.

The Knights of the Round Table, who were well-dressed in plate armor and were high-ranking figures of the Holy Knights, looked at their leader excitedly, raised their arms and shouted, and the frenzy was extreme, and everyone's mood was uplifted, whether it was a commoner or a nobleman.

Only one remained indifferent.

The little witch sitting in the treetops lowered the brim of her magic hat like a sailboat, revealing only a small mouth as ruddy as a cherry, and a faint smile: "Justice will prevail?"

She couldn't help but whisper: "What can defeat evil is never justice...... It's a stronger force. ”

"Like my flames. ”

She closed the thick magic book and nudged her glasses on the bridge of her nose.

In her petite body, Mage Merlin's almost godlike magic flowed slowly.

"If you are lucky enough to have my help, then, justice is naturally invincible. ”

Her name is Angela, a witch with the name of an angel.

The ceremony came to an end.

King Arthur looked around at the frenzied crowd around him, and he drew the knight's sword hidden in the scabbard of the "Avalon".

"The Empire is about to return to its glorious path in my hands, and both the Saracens and those who rebel will be reduced to dust under the holy iron hoof. ”

The glorious sword of victory and oath illuminated everyone's face, and everyone believed in King Arthur's promises, including the young Emperor, who may have been ignorant of his own power, but the charisma of the Emperor of Destiny was still evident.

......

All the territories of the Land of Warriors are under the rule of the Emperor of the Empire.

Even the Slavic nobles, who were considered by the princes and nobles to be on horseback, were covered in the smell of sheep dung and nouveau riche, and they also came to the cathedral today to pay their respects to the emperor.

When the emperor's prestige was at its highest, he could gather an army of hundreds of princes and lords to form an invincible army of 100,000 knights and hundreds of thousands of servants like Zhou Tianzi in the Eastern world in the same period.

However, now, the number of knights loyal to the emperor in the decaying empire is less than 10,000, and the young knights who are still in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period and are still full of combat effectiveness are at most in their early 6000s.

However, this is not a small amount, pull their subordinates, and immediately it will be a torrent of iron cavalry with a scale of tens of thousands, and it will not be a problem to directly chisel through hundreds of thousands of troops, this is the knight tactics that the Western Continent is proud of.

It's simple and crude, but it works.

Next, Arthur's first battle was a war with the noble alliance.

Although the territory of the Land of Warriors is far inferior to the wider Eastern World, if it is unified here, I am afraid that among the Eastern countries, except for the Tang Dynasty, there is no country that can compete with it in terms of territory and national strength.

......

Chang'an City, East City

A carriage stopped in the crowd of people, and the girl with her skirt hurriedly got out of the carriage, looked at the lonely back of the sword box, and waved her hand impatiently.

"Little brother!"

Li Bai turned his head and glanced at it, as if he didn't know him, shouldn't he be asking him to do it? So he continued to wander around the stall, choosing a suitable gift, and he planned to fly directly to his father-in-law's house when he left the city gate.

He always felt that this old man didn't seem to be particularly willing to marry his baby daughter to him, this time, he said that he would give this matter a given, and the countrymen pay attention to courtesy, and if you go empty-handed to visit, it is obviously inappropriate.

"Little brother!"

Another sweet and greasy call, as if soaked in honey.

The barrage is about to explode, and this voice can be so sultry.

Li Bai turned his head and frowned, "We know each other?"

The anticipation on the little girl's face instantly collapsed.

"Little brother, the concubine's name is Li Yushu, and that time it was thanks to the little brother that the concubine was rescued from the bad guys of the Yin and Yang family. ”

Li Bai suddenly said: "It turned out to be Li Xiaoniang." ”

Li Bai's reaction was very indifferent, this is ...... The eldest lady of the Shangshu family who hugged his thighs and didn't let go, but said that something strange was wrong, and he immediately hid aside? He couldn't help but think of what Wang Dongsheng and Chen Wu said when he met him a few days ago.

So, this chick likes herself?

......

The fact that Li Bai was named the county magistrate spread throughout the entire circle of honors and nobles in a very short period of time, with joys and sorrows, but on the whole, there were much more joys.

Because the sword of Damocles hanging above his head is gone.

Although the noble class is not monolithic, since you have joined, you must abide by the rules of the convention, and drawing your sword to kill people at every turn is obviously not in line with this rule.

Worried that the reckoning was about to be ushered in, the nobles who had plotted to assassinate Li Bai breathed a sigh of relief, they believed that this was a mutual compromise between the Son of Heaven and Li Bai, and the result was naturally good.

Because since Li Bai confirmed that there were people in the immortal realm, they realized that they would never be able to provoke such a person, and it was better to reconcile.

There are also those who have unclear heads, in other words, those with iron heads, who think that a bug has been mixed in the ranks of their noble nobles, and threaten to be ashamed to be in the company of this person...... As a result, few people paid attention to him, didn't he see that people were cut down all over the house, and the daughter-in-law who married into someone else's family didn't dare to say a word?

In this world, only the strong can break the rules.

And obviously, Li Bai is a strong man.

Why is this sentence so middle-class, a bit like a villain......
