271: Runic armor

"Are you sure you want to come with me, today may be the most dangerous day in the history of the Imperial Capital. Aslan looked at the trapped soldiers who were walking not far away, their faces were smeared with indigo paint, and they looked extremely fierce.

The Countess of Steenbergen approached, followed by the chief of the guard. The Countess wore a set of old-fashioned aristocratic dresses from the imperial capital, with a certain red rose on her left breast. The aristocratic dress was obviously carefully ironed, and even the corners and neckline were so angular.

The Countess wore crystal high heels custom-made by Flying City, making the already tall Countess even more slender and slender. The chief of the guard personally drove the open-top Mercedes sedan over.

"It's my choice, if I can't see the result with my own eyes, even if I win, I won't be reconciled. Countess Steenbergen said very coquettishly.

Suddenly, she raised her hand, and a slender jade hand with black lace gloves tugged at Aslan's collar.

"You're a count now, so pay attention to your appearance. ”

Aslan laughed evilly, then whispered, "Understood, Countess. ”

Aslan deliberately bit the accent on the four words of the countess, and the countess of Steenbergen instantly understood, and the beautiful eyes glanced at him, so she got into the car by herself.

Aslan didn't follow the car, but rode the white war horse that Orlando had brought over and walked side by side with Zhao Yun.

"Let's go, let's go to the central square of the Imperial City now, it is the most lively place today, and there will be a festival day and place viewing ceremony from noon. ”

Such a scene was staged at the gates of the major families of the empire, the heavily armed private army, vigilant and fierce, completely incompatible with the New Year's atmosphere, the most unusual thing is that in such a New Year's celebration, these noble lords did not bring their daughters with them, even if they brought their children, they were all adults and cultivated people.

In previous years' New Year's festivals, the most pleasing were those noble gentlemen, but this year it was surprisingly strange that none of these gentlemen had ever appeared.

Aslan followed his father on the horse. In order to highlight the Stirnbergen family's tradition of martial arts in public occasions of this New Year's celebration, horse-drawn carriage rides are not taken. Alpha arranged a high-quality white horse for Aslan, Aslan looked left and right, and suddenly said, "Isn't my brother going too?"

"Gabby... I let him stay at Mr. Blue Ocean's house. The Earl said lightly, then shook his horse's head, and was about to set off, when he suddenly looked back at Aslan: "I... Have you figured out what I said to you two days ago?"

"I think it clearly. Aslan's tone was also very flat, and then he asked rhetorically: "Father, are you sure?"

"There is nothing in the world that is completely certain, as long as you are 70% sure, it is already a big win. The Earl seemed to smile.

The cavalry guards of the Steenbergen family were all mounted on their horses, and a golden bell hung on their horses, and the sound of the bells was intertwined with the gentle trampling of the horses' hooves.

With such a coquettish equipment, Zhao Yun shook his head when he saw it, and Aslan also smiled dumbly.

The white horses, the golden bells, and the gorgeous armor of all the guards, those who don't know still think that they are honor guards, but for women, they also echo their aesthetics.

On the contrary, the elite of the six hundred traps led by Aslan were all infantry, each wearing armor made by blue dwarves, and runes were engraved on key parts.

Now that the number of magicians in Flying City is increasing, they have begun to reproduce the runes of the armor, and the runes of the armor of the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry are enough to block the magic attacks of the junior magicians.

The elite of the trapped camp is even more exaggerated, and the back of the armor is also inlaid with magic crystals, which can urge a large magic shield when hundreds of people are gathered together, easily blocking all magic below the advanced level.

This kind of armor cannot be equipped even by the most elite palace guards of the royal family.

Surrounded by the most elite cavalry of the three hundred Steenbergen family and the six hundred trap camp, Aslan led the Countess of Steenbergen to the central square outside the imperial city.

The central square is the largest square in the imperial capital, backed by the imperial palace, facing the entire imperial capital city, the square is so large that it can accommodate the review of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the long streets on both sides are extremely wide, all of which are paved with solid and flat cyan stone slabs, enough for five or six carriages to move side by side.

Every year on the New Year's Festival, there will be lively celebrations here, above the imperial city, His Majesty the Emperor will come to the high platform to preside over the ceremony, and on the high platform that has been built on both sides, is the position of some wealthy nobles, and some high-level personnel of the magic union will also be invited to participate.

At the celebration in the square below, there is a military parade and a long parade formed by the people.

When Aslan and the others came to the square, it was almost noon, and along the way, Aslan was silent, his expression was very calm, even when he saw the heavily armed guards on the street, Aslan's face was very calm, and he didn't ask, didn't say, didn't say a word, it seemed that he had expected this to be the case.

It's just that Countess Steenbergen is not as calm as she seems, if it weren't for her natural beauty, she didn't need makeup at all, and the beads of sweat on her forehead would have already made her makeup spent.

A considerable number of people have gathered on the square, and the streets on both sides are even more crowded, and a large number of people are still flocking to the long streets on both sides of the square. The long dragon seemed to be lined up a kilometer away.

Came to the square, Aslan got off the horse, and actually took the hand of the Countess of Steenbergen, and then pulled the Countess of Steenbergen all the way to the high platform under the imperial city, the high platform has been arranged, and many wealthy families and nobles in the imperial capital have arrived.

However, Aslan glanced over and found that many nobles did not have a relaxed face, and even turned a blind eye to the love affair between Countess Steenbergen and Aslan.

In the past, the relationship between Aslan and the Countess of Steenbergen was the biggest talk in the aristocratic circle, but today no one has the heart to care about the affairs of the two, and most people are worried.

Ordinary people may not understand the abnormality of today's situation, but these wealthy nobles do! What's more, the Guards had already sent a large number of soldiers to patrol around the nobles' residences two days ago, which had already attracted the attention of many people.

What's even more strange is that some nobles are quite dissatisfied with this, and some people even send people into the palace to meet His Majesty to protest, but His Majesty the Emperor does not see anything!

There was a lot of noise below, and Aslan sat on the high platform. Looking down at the ordinary people who were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the celebration day, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Once the fight really breaks out, regardless of the final victory or defeat, these people will become the biggest victims.
