Chapter 711: The Athletic Conference Begins
Emperor Grein's face was very ugly, he thought that he had moved back to a game, saved face in front of the countries of the Holy Sect World, and declared his strength.
At the same time, they also demonstrated against the Holy Church, so that those wavering wall-riding factions could see what they had in their hands, so that they could minimize their activities with the Church.
But unexpectedly, he just thought that his goal had been achieved, and William and King Leonac made such a play for him.
Not only did they share the limelight with their two knights, but they also blatantly declared themselves to be in the church camp in front of so many people.
How could this not make him angry, so many of his own arrangements let them collapse in this way, and at the same time let the countries see the strength of the church.
He originally wanted to give the church a blow and let them see his strength, but he was actually demonstrated by the other party.
"This is the knights of the Inner House from His Majesty William of the Kingdom of Lorik, and the first wing of the Knights of the Holy Grail from the Kingdom of Astra! They used to ......"
The clerk Balabala's explanation of their glorious deeds made Emperor Greine extremely irritable, and what made him even more angry was that Arthur's dragon prince cavalry behind him had said this when he began to review.
This surprised Bishop Banrad, because he remembered that the small kingdom of Camelot was not a country of the Church, so why did he do it?
Of course, Arthur also has his own considerations, after all, he is about to marry Windsor as his wife, as a small country that is much different in size from the Kingdom of Lorik, at least for now, he must hug the thigh of the Kingdom of Lorik tightly.
This is equivalent to a signal released by him, telling William, since I have chosen to marry your daughter, then I will stand on the same front as you.
The other person thinks that he really wants to have a good relationship with the church, after all, the church is very powerful in this world.
As a newly restored king, his rule was not so stable, and his rule would have been much more stable if the church had the support of his public opinion.
The combination of these advantages made Arthur choose to be on the side of the church, like William.
In terms of interests and reason, the Church was far better than the Lordland Empire.
Although Bishop Banrad was surprised, he was also very happy, after all, it would be good to have one more country to support him, although the Kingdom of Camelot is not big, but at least it is also a kingdom, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat!
Although the kings present were shocked by the strength of the Rodlan Empire, they also had a new understanding of the strength of the Kingdom of Lorik and the Kingdom of Astra, and also had a deeper understanding of the influence of the Church.
Although the church has been in decline in recent years, the kings have reconsidered it after seeing that they still have the support of these countries.
The parade ended quickly, and Emperor Greine announced that an athletic convention would be held in the Hippodrome in the afternoon.
After saying that, he left the city wall sullenly, and Prince Declay also walked down the city wall.
When the scene was over, Bishop Banrad came before William and King Leonac, with Arthur at their side.
He nodded and smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, you have helped me to deter everyone, so that Emperor Grayne's conspiracy will not succeed, you will always be the best friend of the Church, the best child of the Holy Father!" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to Arthur and said, "King Arthur has reached out at this time, and I will always remember that, like His Majesty, you are also the best friend of the Church and the best child of the Holy Father!" ”
Arthur smiled and nodded to Bishop Banrad and said, "This is what I should do!" ”
The two were full of laughter, and after a while, the three of them dispersed, and William left the wall with Wella.
In the afternoon, William and Wella arrived at the arena with their children, which was already bustling with people, including residents, low-ranking nobles, merchants, guards, squires, and even some mercenaries and outlaws who had hidden their identities.
Vendors peddle their wares in the audience, and some even gamble on the market, intending to take advantage of this opportunity.
And the high nobles are also gradually arriving, there is a grandstand at the top of the arena, the scale is not small enough to accommodate these nobles, but their families can not all go up, only a small number of family members.
There was a slight uproar among the aristocratic crowd, who greeted each other with a smile and a smile.
William, of course, was not within the limits of the number of family members, and Wella and a few other children were also standing on top of the stands and looking down on the arena below.
The tournament will be very long, with more than 9,000 nobles signing up for the event, and it will take five days to choose the final winner.
Willian is just here to witness the opening today, and he can choose whether to be there for the next few days, as long as he is there for the final.
After a while, Emperor Greine also arrived, dressed in fine clothes and carrying his queen, and followed a large group of people into the kings.
He chatted with everyone for a while, and the contestants below were ready.
Charlemagne also signed up in this athletic conference, although the athletic tournament has a certain degree of danger, but after all, everyone has very good protection, so the chance of dying is not great.
And if Charlemagne can shine in this athletic tournament, then his prestige will be skyrocketing, and William won the championship in the athletic tournament of the Kingdom of Tskema and won the title of champion knight, accumulating the first wave of prestige.
Although Charlemagne said that he had a lot of prestige because of his exploits and the status of a prince, if he could win the championship in this competition for the entire Holy Cult World, then the entire continent would know that there was a brave and warlike prince in the Kingdom of Lorik.
The inhabitants and vassals of the kingdom of Lorik will also be proud to have such a prince, and everyone will worship him, and when he succeeds to the throne, there will be no situation where he will not be able to conquer the proud soldiers.
The athletic convention began immediately, and Emperor Greine began to speak from the stands, and with the amplification of the building, his voice was loud enough to be heard by the people half of the arena.
"Young knights from all over the continent! Today's athletic tournament is specially prepared for the knights of the mainland, I hope you can achieve good results in this athletic tournament, and at the same time look for a feudal monarch who appreciates you.
"In addition to this, I have prepared a bounty of two thousand gold coins, as well as ten sets of porcelain and a set of knight's armor from the Kingdom of Lorik of my choice! Fight hard! Young knights! ”
