Chapter Eighty-Eight: Military Parade
The people of Middle-earth did not have any intuitive impression of the military parade, so to the residents of White City, it may have been nothing more than a large-scale juggling.
For such an idea, in fact, it is not an exaggeration, when the Limburg legion arrived at the city gate, the front team had already begun to enter the city, the front was the White City Guard, they sent a proud team of noble knights, each knight was eager to dress up the most fancy, that itself is extremely gorgeous armor, but also full of feathers or colored silk scarves, and at the front of the team, is Qin Chuan, who caused countless girls to cheer and scream, Qin Chuan's dress is extremely simple, white armor, white cloak, white war horse.
The white Qin Chuan made Lelouch stunned, and even Nevsky, who was beside him, muttered extremely unhappily:
"Little white face!"
If other people said this about Qin Chuan, they might be killed if they were known, but Nevsky was different, the biggest contribution to the entire Battle of the White City was Nevsky, and it can even be said that without Nevsky, there would be no victory for the White City, so Nevsky may be the person who can mumble about Qin Chuan the most.
After all, Baicheng is a local, and the noble knights are quite good on the battlefield and brave, they also get the most hot cheers, countless crowds sent the warmest wishes to these knights, countless girls threw their personal handkerchiefs to their favorite knights, this welcome made these knights straighten their waists even more, each as proud as a winning rooster.
There are nearly two thousand noble knights, their team is very long, such a long line makes Lelouch feel shocked that there is no one of the two thousand noble knights, which makes Lelouch extremely sighing, and after the noble knights of the White City, it is the southern legion, the southern border benefits from the developed economy, so the industry is more developed, the soldiers can all wear armor, and it is also iron armor, to be honest, the fighting spirit of the southern soldiers may not be very high, but the discipline is much stronger, they can barely line up in a neat line, marching in the crowd, but the batch made iron armor still seems too simple and inferior, but the iron armor is iron armor after all, as many as 5,000 ironclad infantry, made the residents of Baicheng surprised by the wealth of the southern border, although the southern border also received a lot of cheers, but compared with the noble knights in front, it was far behind.
After the southern legion marched without embarrassment, the northern coalition army was even more miserable, because of the initial battle, the northern border came out this time it can be said that the soldiers were lost, and even the knights were not worthy of the armor, but fortunately, after the battle, a lot of them were captured from the Mordor legion, but a small team that was barely armed, although the number was not as large as that of the south, but it was not too bad.
The whole parade began with the progress of the noble knights, and the whole White City was filled with feverish cheers, although this cheer was slightly less with the noble knights, but it was also extremely enthusiastic, and this enthusiasm also carried a deeper level of anticipation.
Everyone knew that this time the Limburg Legion was also going to participate in the parade, and that they regarded it as a savior, even Lelouch, the son of God, would also participate, and everyone had different expectations for Lelouch, who was almost about to be deified in the hearts of the inhabitants of White City.
Finally, after the northern coalition troops walked by, the cheers at the city gate suddenly quieted, and the more enthusiastic cheers imagined by the crowd behind did not seem to exist, but were eerily quiet, which surprised the residents behind, they didn't know that the city gate had happened, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be so quiet, but soon, their doubts were answered, and they saw a shocking stampede sound on the street in the distance.
No snares, no horns, There is nothing in this world, but the sound of the military boots trampling the earth in unison, finally, in front of the street, a figure appeared, Frank walked in the front of the whole line, in his hand, is the symbol of Limburg, the red dragon earl flag, Frank is wearing surprisingly fine armor, but Frank's armor can only be regarded as surprised, the soldiers around him, the shock is bringing, because every soldier is wearing fine and gorgeous armor, a unified shield and war spear, plus a gray cloak, the whole team is like a divine soldier, with a great shock to the crowd。
In front of it was a small group of flag guards, and behind the flag guards, people finally saw the source of the footsteps:
Groups of soldiers with spears in their arms, striding in unison, the muffled sound of trampling the earth at the same time, when gathered together, penetrated into people's hearts like war drums, and now, at last, people knew why the city gates were suddenly quiet, not because they did not want to cheer, but because they were deeply shocked, and now no one knew how to cheer, and this shock was like a different kind of suffocation, stuck in everyone's neck.
Finally, with the appearance of Lelouch with a knight brigade, the white horse coat with the unity of the heavier and gorgeous armor and war horses made people seem to see a team of Qin Chuan coming over, and more importantly, in front of the knights, Lelouxiu finally appeared, the only face without a helmet looked heroic, the white cloak and war horse, under the backdrop of special armor, like a young god, I don't know if it was an illusion, the armor seemed to be still shining, it really made people feel that it was a god descending to earth.
Of course, the ability to make something shine on a sunny day, even without El's magic, Lelouch had no less than five ways in his mind.
When Lelouch maintained a friendly smile and waved to the crowd, the shocked crowd seemed to be depressed for a moment, and they broke out with cheers far beyond the noble knights, and even many girls hurriedly took handkerchiefs from the new home, and some of them even tore off the corner of their arm sleeves directly and threw them out as handkerchiefs, unlike the previous practice of the girls who only threw them to the knights, now it can almost be said that as long as they are people in Limburg, they can get the personal objects thrown by the girls.
Although the soldiers, especially the recruits, were extremely excited, they did not dare to destroy the formation or turn to the left without the permission of the commander, and this seriousness gained the enthusiasm of the crowd.
And under the guidance of some voices, the voices of the crowd began to slowly converge, and they eventually converged into the same voice, and let this sound continue to expand and become louder:
"Long live the Count of the Red Dragon"
"Long live the Count of the Red Dragon"
People are actually very susceptible to environmental influences, under this frenzied atmosphere and shouts, for hundreds of years, those who began to be unconcerned about Lelouch have fallen into a frenzy at this time, and all kinds of legends and hints about Lelouch have suddenly expanded at this moment, if it weren't for Lelouch's unwillingness to be too showy and suppressed now, the title of the son of God would have roared out at this time.
In this way, with the cheers of the whole city, facing the sun and colorful flags, Lelouch almost passed the outer city and entered the inner city, at this time the inner city has also fallen into a frenzy, although they did not support the war, and at first they did not have a good impression of Lelouch, but when Lelouch saved the White City "with the power of one person" and defeated Mordor, there was not a single inhabitant of the inner city who did not love Lelouch, because no one would not like the victor, and no one would refuse the hero.
The inner city may not have been invaded too deeply by the church, but I believe that after this time, the church with the sign of the son of God will also have a good influence in the inner city.
Cheers, endless cheers, when Lelouch looked at the endless crowd on both sides of the frenzied shouting of his title and name, he felt great satisfaction in his heart, until now, Lelouch finally understood why so many people longed for power, because this right was too sweet, and Lelouch finally understood why Hitler was able to get the support of the whole of Germany, because under the general environment, the crowd is irrational.
Lelouch even believed that with just a hint at this moment, there would be countless inhabitants of the inner city who would willingly give away their life's wealth or join their own legions, of course they were nothing, but because of the current fanaticism, they controlled everyone.
The march of the inner city is similar to that of the outer city, in addition to the cheers of the sky, it is just a parade with a better environment for the Limburg Legion, and soon, Limburg finally arrived at the point of the parade, under the White Tower, at this time under the White Tower, the three teams in front have completed the march, and they have been waiting in the square at this time, they are clearly divided into three teams, although the team is very open, but everyone has the same expression, that is shock, yes, the parade in Limburg not only shocked the residents of the White City, but also shocked the other legions, the noble knights of the White City compared their own outfits with the knights of Limburg, suddenly feel how old-fashioned his image is.
It's just that this kind of shock didn't last long, with the arrival of the two legions behind, the parade is considered to be coming to an end, followed by the four dukes and the emperor came to the square, symbolically made a speech, encouraged the various legions, and then returned to the White Tower, the emperor can go out to give some encouragement to the soldiers is already very good, the soldiers are still very happy, even many recruits in the Limburg Legion are the same, but the veterans are contempt, not to mention the knights.
Despite this, Lelouch still felt that his legion was not very satisfied, and the soldiers still respected the current emperor in their hearts, in the final analysis, that is, the central government still had control over them, which was not good news for Leluxiu, but Lelouch didn't care too much, for his own plan, this centripetal force on the center can still be controlled.
The parade ended, and the various legions began to return to their stations, and the nobles, who were the leaders, were given a separate banquet on the White Tower.
