Chapter 169: Scarlet Miyagi 4
Without waiting for Richard to ponder the meaning of Wren's words, the knights of the Golden Temple, who were in the hall at the beginning, quickly walked out from both sides one step ahead of Wren and Richard and took up their positions in the square.
The total number of Golden Palace Knights has never been more than a hundred, and at this time, there are only two teams of Golden Palace Knights walking out on both sides, but about fifty people, although it is not much, but the strength is definitely not weak.
The Golden Palace Knight is just like its name, every Golden Palace Knight is a master of the knight rank, and the captain of the Golden Palace Knight is served by the Grand Knight.
It can be said that it is the most luxurious team in the kingdom,
After the knights of the Golden Temple stood still, Wren slowly took another step and walked towards the steps outside the temple.
Richard continued to follow the dressed Wren, but his eyes were a little wandering.
Strange, why is the Messiah not there, it stands to reason that on this occasion, if the Messiah is willing to come, it should be very easy,
With his relationship with the Messiah at this time, his canonization ceremony, it is somewhat unreasonable for the Messiah not to appear.
Richard searched the crowd again, confirming that the Messiah was definitely not there, plus Wren had a little hint just now,
, something isn't right.
Richard, who was originally quite relaxed, had already tensed his nerves at this time, his hand was ready to touch the angel necklace, and he kept observing the people around him.
However, at this point, Richard had no extra choice, and before the accident appeared, he could only carry out the ceremony according to the previous arrangement.
So, under the gaze of everyone, Richard followed the guidance of the palace people according to the previous arrangement and came to a stage in the center of the square.
Wren walked to the stage surrounded by the knights of the Golden Temple,
At the moment when Wren stood on the stage, everyone present, including Richard, saluted sideways towards Wren on the stage.
Richard ...... Pacify the wilderness and canonize the Marquis of Pingye..."
After the herald beside Wren described Richard's exploits in an exaggerated tone, the whole ceremony officially began.
At this time, a captain of the Golden Palace Knight walked out of the queue,
With a "bang", he drew his sword out of its sheath and made a gesture of invitation to Richard.
This is one of the features of the canonization ceremony of the Golden Dragon Kingdom
Martial arts
The recipient must fight with the knights of the Golden Palace in front of the king and everyone to prove his strength, after all, the kingdom has clear rules that no knight-level strength can be a noble,
This level is not difficult, the main thing is to go through the motions, the Golden Palace Knight will not be too embarrassed, as long as he can release his fighting spirit and walk for two rounds, the Golden Palace Knight will generally take the initiative to stop.
"Qiang"
Richard was also informed of this process in advance, and naturally pulled out the Vulcan Sword at his waist and made the same gesture of please.
"Boom"
Under the infusion of fighting energy, the original gray appearance of the Fire God Sword was entangled by flames again.
"Wow!"
The disappearance of the Vulcan Sword caused a burst of exclamation among the people around him, don't talk about whether this thing is good or not,
This pretense alone can arouse a lot of people's yearning.
"Bell!"
However, Richard is not pretending to be forced with the Vulcan sword, he has strength, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is awesome.
At the time of the first blow, the captain of the Golden Palace Knight on the opposite side felt that something was wrong, he was a senior knight,
At first, I also knew that Richard was a person who had just stepped into the Grand Knight Rank,
The gap between the junior knights and the senior knights is not small, and the captain of the Golden Palace Knight actually comes to fight with Richard with the mentality of pointing out the juniors.
This time let him know that Richard is not as simple as a beginner knight.
"Bell, bell, bell..."
A few successive fights made him extremely uncomfortable,
Although Richard is still only a beginner great knight in the realm, his fighting spirit has been strengthened by the Vulcan Sword, and he is not weaker than the average peak great knight.
Coupled with the scorching effect of the Fire God Sword, the hands of the Golden Palace Knight holding the sword were roasted and painful.
Soon, the knights of the Golden Palace could only resist under Richard's hands, and had no choice but to fight back.
"Bang!"
With a single blow, the Golden Palace Knight took the initiative to take a few steps back, naturally disengaged from Richard, and then returned his sword to the sheath and saluted Richard.
"I lost, Hou Hirano is a real powerhouse."
The knights of the Golden Palace were originally here to go through the motions, and they didn't come to be strong, so naturally there was no need to fight Richard to the death, and he was indeed willing to say this.
Richard did not continue to be unforgiving, but retreated, returned the Vulcan sword to its sheath, and responded with the same salute.
"Good!"
Although the battle is short, it is very exciting, and the nobles and attendants below are also very good, and they can see a little bit of the doorway.
Naturally, it can be seen that Richard really has the upper hand, and the knights of the Golden Palace have also done their best.
Wren on the stage also nodded, quite satisfied with Richard's skills.
The next step was for Richard to walk up to the stage, present his sword to Wren and swear an oath of loyalty, and Wren would return the sword to encourage him, completing the ceremony after a series of tedious processes.
While the ceremony was proceeding in an orderly manner, there was an extremely abnormal situation outside Miyagi.
…
"Tadd, step, step..."
A banner regiment of heavily armed city guards is marching towards the palace city with neat steps, and it is very rare for the city guards to act in such a high-profile and large-scale operation in the Golden Dragon Capital.
So that the people around them all looked sideways, but some of the more sensitive people had already smelled something unusual, and quickly hid away from home.
lest the gods fight and mortals suffer.
The City Guard and the Praetorian Guard belong to two systems,
The Praetorian Guards are directly responsible to the royal family, and the main person in charge is the dragon knight of the town country, Thor,
The system of the city guard army is more complicated, the city guard army is mixed, the civilian official group, the military nobles are mixed in, and the more than 200,000 city guards can be divided into several factions if they are subdivided.
Among them, several military nobles in the royal capital have the greatest influence on the city guards, and even many army commanders are from several families in the royal capital.
This is also roughly a balance between the royal family and the top nobility of the kingdom.
"My lord, the city guards are approaching the palace gate!"
At this time, the city guards have come to the vicinity of the palace gate,
The palace guards belong to a separate system, and in principle, they are only responsible to King Wren, and the nobles generally tacitly agree not to touch the positions in the palace guards, which is very taboo.
It stands to reason that the city guards should be vigilant immediately after discovering this kind of unconventional behavior, and close the palace door.
However, at this time, the palace military commander guarding the city gate did not react, even under the prompting of his subordinates, he did not say anything, but silently looked at the approaching city guards.
As the city guards got closer and closer to the palace gate, more palace guard soldiers discovered that something was wrong, and the other party's fully armed appearance was simply a posture to launch the palace change.
"My lord, aren't you still closing the palace gate?"
The subordinates on the side were a little anxious, and they couldn't afford it.
"No, just let them in,
Give me orders, and no one shall make the slightest move! ”
"This!"
The subordinate looked up at Du Tong, who was obviously wrong, and was only glanced at by the other party's indifferent eyes, and the originally anxious mood instantly cooled down.
All of them are knights, he's just a quasi-knight, and if you persuade him, he'll die...
Due to the chaos of the commander of the city gate, the soldiers who should have closed the palace gate in time fell into chaos.
A heavily armed city guard army broke straight into the palace without the slightest hindrance.
This is a place they should definitely not set foot in...
