Chapter 14: I See, I Conquer (I)

No one wants to hand over their fate to a stranger, and it is a hostile stranger, but in the shadow of power, Augustus does not think that his existence as small as an ant can do anything, after a short period of astonishment, the recruits on both sides are like being cut by a knife A huge wave cracks from it, Augustus is naturally naked~ in front of a group of powerful people and the city lord who named him.

Without hesitation or flinching, Augustus walked to the front of the square with a bow and arrow, walked firmly, looked up and glanced at Urgat, who was guarded by eight majestic and murderous knights on the high platform, and quickly looked away as soon as he made contact.

With a bang, Augustus fell to one knee on the ground, and an extremely deep and lofty shout resounded through the silent Stiroland Square: "The recruit Augustus has seen General Ergat. ”

As early as yesterday, Augustus had already made up his mind to be in the limelight in front of Urgat, and all eyes were on it, which was the basis of his survival. However, Augustus did not expect that the so-called attention would be opened in a simple, crude and direct way in a way that he did not anticipate any plan.

It was really unexpected, but the purpose was achieved, and Augustus, who was full of gloom and obscurity in his heart, lowered his head and even entertained himself quite easily, thinking that maybe the group of noble lords in the VIP seat who had always maintained their elegant demeanor might have pinched him to death in some way, some civilians with hostile intentions might have already decided to kill him, and the young master Pompey, who wore the stag badge and had a bright innocent smile on his face, may be using that impeccable smile to beat the calculation of how to kill him.

In normal times, Augustus would have cared about the looks and thoughts of this group of people no matter what, but now Augustus is kneeling in front of the first magnate in the city with the mask of honesty and loyalty, waiting for the judgment of General Ergarth.

As for the others, even if Urgart called him like a mad dog and often called him at the dignitaries in the VIP seats, he would not refuse.

As Augustus had expected, almost everyone's attention was focused on him at this moment, including Svein, the visitor from the imperial capital who sat in the crystal room. The big man pinched his cane and gently tapped his fingers on the top of the cane, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and his face did not move at all, like an impeccable and exquisite stone carving.

Pompey, who was smiling with a sunny face in the square, lightly touched the shoulder of Orit, the second heir of the Flavi family beside him, and said with a playful smile: "Dear Orit, this guy is really lucky, he has repeatedly received the attention of General Ergarth, whom you admire. ”

Oritt glared at the handsome smiling face with a gloomy face, and if it weren't for the solemn and solemn Place Stiroland, he would have crushed Pompey's golden blonde hair, which was as dazzling as the sun. His gaze swept over the civilian who was half-kneeling on the ground, and he retracted his gaze and snorted coldly: "Dear Young Master Pompey, if you don't want to be the first noble young master to be eliminated in the history of Alder City, please keep your mouth shut, otherwise I don't mind creating a miracle for you." ”

Pompey forced a smile, closed his mouth honestly, and when he turned sideways, the corners of his mouth hooked up a slight arc, and he muttered in his heart: "This proud and arrogant fellow is also starting to get serious, O Augustus." May the gods bless you. ”

Turning his gaze to Augustus again, the bright smile on the face of this young master Pompey, who had captured the hearts of most of the city's ladies and girls with his elegant and charming smile, impeccable cultivation, and beautiful and gorgeous words, gradually disappeared, and there was one fact that made him frustrated. He had always been trained by his grandfather as the strictest politician, and he knew that he could not even understand the seemingly loyal and honest civilian boy, even though he had all the detailed information about the civilian boy in his hands, but he had a faint natural instinct that these detailed information might be the disguise of this commoner.

A civilian can be disguised for more than ten years. What an amazing civilian that is! Such a person is hard to be underestimated, even if it is a civilian with a humble status.

In the Valoran continent, where divine power and imperial power dominate, anything can happen! This phrase that has been passed down for thousands of years coincides with the saying that has been circulating since the founding of the Noxian Empire: only with ability, anyone can become a superior person.

After a brief silence. Many bold nobles looked at Urgart, who had not yet spoken, in amazement, and it was difficult to see what terrifying plan was in the mind of this cunning and tattered black-robed figure.

Raphael was also a little puzzled at first, but his eyes inadvertently swept over the dark hunting bow that Augustus was carrying on his shoulder, and he immediately understood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this existence like an abyss demon in the eyes of the powerful could be confused because of an old thing, it is really incredible!

"After all, can't you forget that tragic battle? Ergarte. "How sharp are Svein's eyes in the crystal room, as the leader of the army who was once on a par with General Darius, the fourth knight of the empire, this big man who now holds a soft quill has a terrifying strength that makes the Valoran continent fearful, looking at the scenery outside the glass window, Svein's eyes reveal a terrifying and murderous aura that is completely different from the previous deep and vast, and the aggression is like a flame, and he looks coldly at Ergart, who is standing on the high platform, Let out a snort that would definitely make the unruly City Lord of Urgat suddenly kneel on the ground: "Urgat, if you can't get out of the shadow of the past now, how can you be worthy of sitting in your current position?" ”

This time was very short, Urgart came back to his senses from the memory, his eyes regained the sharpness and coldness they had just now, and his eagle-sharp gaze coldly glanced at Augustus, who was kneeling on one knee, and said in a cold and hoarse tone that was incomparably indifferent but could not help but tremble: "Tell me, Augustus, why did you want to be an Imperial soldier?" ”

In just one sentence, Augustus felt a terrifying majesty from it that was difficult to look at. Even from a distance of more than ten meters, Augustus could still feel the chill and murderous intent contained in that voice.

Augustus, who was half-kneeling on the ground with a flat boulder, sank, this is a seemingly simple but incomparably sharp question, the lord of the city of Urgart can really afford me, Augustus sighed softly in his heart.

A decent answer obviously can't satisfy the city lord of Urgart, who has always been ruthless with his sword, and his unruly answer is the secret that this big man needs, but such an answer is equivalent to falling into the trap of this big man, and offending the powerful people in the VIP table to death.

Could it be that the lord of Urgat still thinks that he has a chance to escape death? Just block the road? Yesterday's conversation with Bishop Raphael, who had already offended a large number of magnates, Augustus did not mind increasing the anger and hatred of this group of magnates against him again, and took a deep breath in his heart, Augustus slowly raised his head, and a calm, high-spirited and magnificent voice sounded up and down the silent Stiroran Square: "I hope that after hundreds of years, there will still be people on the continent of Valoran who will remember a man named Augustus, the respected General Urgat, which is why Augustus wants to become an imperial soldier." ”

Let the entire Valoran continent remember Augustus? There was an uproar after the silence, and after the shock, they all looked at Augustus with disdain! Let this Valoran continent remember Augustus? Does that mean to be comparable to Burnham? Does General Darkwell exist like that? Arrogant, ignorant, stupid!

Some of the nobles smiled in their ignorant and stupid comments about Augustus' arrogant and terrible ambitions, while the recruits who stood in the same square as Augustus were more direct, with a look of sarcasm, disdain, and indifference in their eyes more obvious and thorough. It wasn't like it was above the high platform, but under the sharp and cold eyes and terrifying majesty of Ergat. I'm afraid that some people have already begun to sneer at Augustus.

And what about Augustus? But he still looked very calm, still knelt on one knee on the ground, did not show any joy or anger on his face, and said verbally in a sentence that even ancient writers who specialize in ancient languages do not know what to hear: The swallow bird knows the ambition of the bird, a bunch of stupid garbage.

Augustus didn't care about the hostility or contempt of others, he only cared about the attitude of the Urgat, who could condemn him to death if he abandoned him.

A flash of shock flashed in Ergart's heart, and he looked at the civilians who were honestly kneeling in front of him, and secretly wondered: Is this really that cowardly, cowardly, incompetent, lazy guy who evades military service? There was a look of disbelief in my heart.

But Urgart showed no mercy to the son of the old man, and his eyes were still staring at the civilians on the ground. Unscrupulous laughed and said, "Or become a Coffin Knight recorded in the Imperial Knight Roster or become a Holy Dome Mage respected by thousands of people in the Magic Guild Roster, or in addition to this, there are only four ways to make your name remembered in the Valoran Continent in a few hundred years." Augustus: Do you think you have what it takes to be like King Edward I, Gavin I, General Burnham, General Darius the Fourth Knight of the Empire? ”

It was another sharp question, but Augustus did not hesitate to answer, and the words of the answer contrasted with the deference of his tone: "Perhaps I will never achieve such great things as theirs." But Augustus is willing to look up to their backs for the rest of his life, move forward step by step, and regard the Valoran continent as my hometown! ”

Faced with Ergarte's questioning. Augustus, however, seemed incomparably calm, and replied decisively: "Maybe I will never be able to reach it, but I am willing to look up to their backs, move forward step by step, and regard the Valoran continent as my hometown." ”

In the crystal room, Svein's sharp eyes, who were paying close attention to this scene, shot out an incomparable bright light, Svein smiled slightly, and muttered to himself: "Regard the Valoran Continent as your hometown, hehe, it's really an arrogance and ambition, in my memory for thousands of years, only Azir the Great and Alexander the Great have done this in the Valoran Continent!" ”

Azir the Great, the only human empire on the Valoran continent before the birth of the Noxian Empire, the Shurima Empire, the only great emperor who had a chance to unify the Valoran continent. And Alexander the Great, the greatest emperor of the Noxian Empire except for Julius Caesar, and the most terrible conqueror of the continent of Valoran.

In the history of mankind, these two people have stood on the altar and worshiped the world, even if General Burnham, who now controls the power of the Noxian Empire, is even inferior to these two, even if he is already the object of worship by the world. At this time, the nobles who were laughing outside heard Svein's words in the crystal room, and I am afraid that no one could laugh at them.

"Augustus, you're good." Urgart nodded at Augustus, and then waved down the civilian, who had been labeled arrogant, stupid, and arrogant in the eyes of everyone, and Augustus returned to the recruits, looking at it with a calm expression.

A group of opponents who have no turn around and are destined to get rid of him. Does their idea need to be catered to? What about the public enemy? Under the wings of Urgart, who would dare to do anything to him during this time? Augustus smiled coldly in his heart and dismissed. As for whether he will live or die next, it depends on whether he can win the recruit competition and enter the first knight academy of the empire.

At this time, Urgat, who was on the high platform, began his speech, and all eyes gathered on Augustus were drawn back. In the eyes of the inhabitants of Alder City, whether Augustus is talking about grandiose words or arrogant words, the protagonist today is unshakable, and he is the lord of Urgart.

Augustus looked up at Urgat, expecting the lord to give an interesting speech. (To be continued.) )
