6. The lion with its claws closed
The lion, the king of beasts, is powerful and wise, with both bear-like willpower and leopard-like vigor to reach out, and even opponents who are much larger than him in physique are rarely willing to compete with him head-on. But it is precisely for this reason that it is called the king.
The king is open-minded internally without losing his prestige, ruthless externally without losing his calmness, sitting on the top without being arrogant or impatient, and being controlled by others without being slow. The people they rule are united, even if the borders are surrounded by potential enemies. Such a kingdom, or the goddess who rules over the lions, certainly exists.
Straightforwardly represents the goddess of the "lion", and her followers are basically composed of some "over-blooded" knights, although they have suffered a lot in previous wars because of the scarcity of magic units, but they firmly believe that "cold weapons are the primary productive forces" They still rely on the tenacious willpower like lions to survive, and then develop little by little, until now they are strong enough to attack other countries wantonly.
Maybe it's because you've been bullied too much in history? After this "big cat" really grew into a "lion", he completely became "martial", although it is undeniable that the national policy of "fighting if you don't agree with each other" is really a bit irritable, but ...... At least so far, I haven't heard of a goddess who would dare to point fingers at them. Even if it is the wrath of the horseman, it will be splashed with blood for three steps, not to mention that this "lion" goddess is not a horseman at all, if it really starts a war, I am afraid it will be to the point of a river of blood.
"All ready!"
However, today seems to be a good day, so the "lion" also retracted its open paws a little.
The crowd on both sides of the street was blocked by the knights in the front row who were fully armed to the teeth, and if you look closely, you can find that the vast majority of the crowd are children, women, and some elderly people, most of which are also related to the national policy, after all, in such a martial country, as long as there is nothing wrong with ordinary men, they must serve in the military at a certain age, as for whether they train or farm during military service, that is determined by the domestic high-level.
These excited believers are noisy, but they are also at least sane, anxious and nervous in anticipation of something. However, there is only one character who can make so many believers carnival to the point that they are even a little irrational.
"It's the goddess! I see the goddess! β
I don't know which one of the sharp eyes, at worst, the troublemaker pointed to the castle in the distance and shouted, and then the believers who cast their eyes one after another cheered as if a storm was coming in the sea.
"Really! It's a goddess! β
"The goddess is here!"
"Silence! Give me silence! β
Of course, in this "harmonious" cheer, there was also a "different" voice, but compared to the shouts of the crowd, her voice was quickly muffled.
"Today is a serious ceremony! Quiet down! β
The noble Mithril color, which is one of the favorite colors of the "lion" goddess, was also chosen as the unified color of the armor of the knights in the country. And precisely because the shouts of believers overshadowed the limelight, the women who stamped their feet angrily were obviously not ordinary "believers".
As a knight, light armor naturally can't leave her body in normal times, but unlike those knights who are armed to the teeth and no different from tin cans, her dress is more like a "ceremony".
The heavy helmet was removed, the firmament-blue hair was tied into long braids, the armor was transformed into a version that was easy to move around, and even a skirt was used instead of a single trouser style to reflect the feminine lines that characterize women.
Dressed like this, she stood in the middle of the road as a matter of course, and although she seemed to want to maintain order, the believers who saw the goddess were really making too much noise, and no matter how much she shouted for a while, it would be useless.
"Quiet! It's all quiet! Are you considered a follower of the Goddess!? β
"Goddess-sama!"
"Yikes! It's coming! It's coming! β
Count, of course, although the way is a little "warm", but this is a manifestation of the believer's "love" for the goddess. The louder and louder chanting of the believers seemed to give her such an answer, and also made the female knight not know what to do for a while.
"Captain, what should I do?"
Just when even the female knight couldn't control the scene, her subordinates came over at the right time to make up for it, "In this case, if the goddess enters the city, it is easy to cause a stampede." β
"Since you know that they will go berserk, hurry up and quiet them!"
"This, even if you say so, now that the whole city is crowded, the scene can't be controlled at all......"
"How can there be so many people, goddess, it's not the first time they've met." Looking around at the believers who were like crazy, the female knight couldn't help but clench the hilt of the sword at her waist, "It's the first time this kind of thing has happened here!" β
"This is also the first time that my subordinates have served for so many years. The subordinates felt that maybe it was because everyone still wanted to see the new head of the regiment, so they were so excited. β
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the female knight's face twisted, and she became extremely nervous as if she remembered something very important.
"Why, how did you forget about such a thing...... I, I, I, I ask you, this is the first time I've taken over the vigilance of the ritual, right? β
"Huh? That's, that's right. Because the old head of the group is old, he has successively promoted Lord Shilu and Lord Van Gogh to jointly assist the goddess, and today is also the inauguration ceremony of Lord Van Gogh. β
"I asked you a question and didn't let you be the narrator!" The female knight named Shiro clenched her fists, "If I can't even solve the problem of maintaining order, I will definitely be ...... Something he looks down on, right? β
"Huh? Who are you talking about? β
"He's sure to think I'm a useless woman, and maybe he won't have any communication with me in the future...... Ahh......hh This kind of thing is worse than death......"
"Captain? Captain? β
"If that's the case...... Ah, no, if you want to ask him out later, you'll definitely be rejected on the grounds that 'I don't like to walk with inefficient women......"
"Captain? You ......"
"Stand back! At this point, there is only one extreme way! β
Reaching out to push away her worried subordinates, after taking a deep look at the noisy crowd, the female knight quickly drew her sword at her waist.
The most ordinary saber can only be called "delicate" at best, but it is ......
"Pandora! [Musket Form]! β
This ordinary saber began to change shape in Xilu's hand like a magic box, and in just a moment, what Xilu was holding tightly was already the handle of a flintlock pistol.
γBangγ
The flames burst from the muzzle of the guns and rose into the sky along with the sound of the guns, although this movement was far less than the noise of the believers, but because of its particularity, it gradually calmed down the crowded and noisy believers. In the distance, several figures that looked a little dazzling under the sun's illumination also approached Xilu's place little by little.
"All ready!"
This time, there was no more noise to interfere, "Draw your sword!" β
[Hmmm]
The sound of drawing the sword in unison, but if it is placed on such an important occasion as greeting the goddess, this can only be regarded as a very ordinary "qualified".
"Salute!"
Immediately after, Shilu, the knights on both sides, and even the believers who were still noisy just now, all knelt down on one knee, quietly waiting for the arrival of the goddess in the distance. Those ordinary believers are not counted for the time being, for knights, kneeling on one knee when they see the goddess has become a very common "etiquette".
Greet the goddess in the most respectful way, then go with her to the ceremony venue where the person will be crowned, and then end the day with cheers and praise. In Xilu's mind, the order of all this had already been constructed.
It's just that......
"Captain Shiro, now Captain Shiro!"
Suddenly, a panicked knight "drilled" out of the crowd, and he didn't even know that his helmet had fallen to the ground. Now, when he was quiet enough, his actions quickly attracted the attention of all the believers around him.
"What are you tossing about! Is it time to make trouble! Get on your knees! β
"No, that...... There is a case. As if realizing that it would be bad to report loudly here, the panicked knight immediately knelt beside Xilu, "I'm a member of the outer city gate, and I just ......."
"What's wrong!"
Even a stupid person could sense the nervousness on the knight's face in front of him, and Xilu's expression suddenly became nervous.
Today is one of the few days when the goddess does not stay in the realm of the goddess, but "goes out", if on such an occasion, something goes wrong in this ritual......
"Report immediately."
"Yes...... A group of unknown people have just attacked our outer city gates. By the time our reinforcements arrived, they were gone. So ......"
ββ¦β¦β
"Captain! This is possible...... It's an assassin! The Assassins have infiltrated! β
