Chapter 192: I'm Against It

The giants are actually attacking the city at this time!?

There was a hint of commotion in the originally quiet scene.

At this moment, Piller frowned at first, and then stretched out and said loudly: "You don't need to panic, it's just that the giant's bell rings, with my iron-blooded Roland City city defense army, you can sit back and relax." If the Giant's Bell rings again, I will personally go to the city wall to supervise the battle and defend me Roland!"

Hearing this, and finding that the Giant's Bell had not rang again, everyone immediately relieved themselves. As a human, he was already familiar with the battle with the giants, and the Roland City Defense Army was also famous, so everyone quickly settled down.

And many of the great nobles among the envoys who came to watch the ceremony, including the envoy from the Lionheart Imperial City, also nodded approvingly at this time, appreciating Piller's composure.

The Giant's Bell rang once, but it didn't ring again, much to everyone's relief.

"The ceremony continues!" said Sartre to the celebrant beside him.

"I would like to invite the special envoy of the Lionheart Imperial City, Prince Mountbatten, to read out the last wishes of the Grand Duke of Roland!"

Then the Prince of Mountbatten got up from the viewing platform, walked step by step to the coronation platform, nodded slightly to Piller and Sartre, and took a parchment roll from the celebrant with both hands.

Prince Mountbatten, as the envoy of the Great Emperor of the Golden Imperial City, is naturally also a master, and the reason why he walked up step by step was to show respect for his master. This man was fair-skinned, and although he was nearly sixty years old, he looked to be only forty years old, well-maintained, with a pair of slender eyes that were kind, and a wide chin, and although he was a prince, he had no slightest.

At this time, the eyes of the more than 100,000 people present all turned to him, and the Prince of Mountbatten opened the parchment roll in his hand, and suddenly showed a strange look on his face, and then read aloud: "I will not come back in ten days, let Piller be the Grand Duke, immediately, immediately!"

When he had finished reading, he closed the parchment and returned it to the celebrant again.

There are only these few words!

The nobles present couldn't help but be stunned and in an uproar, and then they couldn't help but be instantly relieved when they thought of that iron-blooded princess's volcano-like temperament. This is the character of the old Grand Duke Roland!

I really didn't expect that the boss would only leave such a sentence for such an important matter...... Many people can't help but have a longing expression on their faces.

Li Yunfei smiled, as if he thought of Grand Duke Roland saying this sentence himself. But then he fell into deep thought for a moment.

Although the last wish of the Grand Duke of Roland is only a few short sentences, it shows an extremely wise side! The key lies in the last few words. "Immediately, immediately!" If Pierre had been able to succeed to the throne before the other forces had time to react, he would have taken full control of the entire Roland City by now......

"Archbishop Kusa, the central temple of the iron-blooded Roland City, is invited to crown His Highness Piller!" said the ceremonial officer again in a low voice.

In the open space next to the coronation platform, Archbishop Kusa, who had been waiting there for a long time, walked up to the coronation platform with several priests in his hand.

Canonizing the lord of a country is completely different from canonizing ordinary nobles in a giant city. When Li Yunfei inherited the title of earl, he was canonized by an envoy sent by the Grand Duke of Roland, and the people in the temple watched and prayed.

When it came to the succession ceremony of the lord, it was completely reversed. The entire coronation was carried out entirely by the archbishop of the temple, and the envoys of the emperor of the Golden Imperial City were the observers and witnesses.

This difference also immediately attracted Li Yunfei's attention.

This scene can be said to reflect the strength of the temple in human society! The temple is not interested in the inheritance and canonization of local nobles at all. And the higher the nobility, the stronger the control of the temple. I believe that at the level of the Silver King City or even the Golden Emperor City, the power of the temple can definitely influence the direction of a kingdom or even an empire.

However, there is one thing that is very similar to when Li Yunfei inherited the title of earl, that is, after Kusa walked to the coronation platform with the "Holy Codex", he began to open the huge parchment scroll and read the chapters in it. These passages are nothing more than praise for the greatness and nobility of God the Father, that all human beings walking on the earth are lambs of God the Father, that all kings in the world are granted by divine authority, and so on, but they are very similar to the medieval Christianity in the previous life.

"My Father in heaven, all men honor the name of the Father, may the will of the Father walk on the earth as he walks in heaven......" Kusa's voice dragged on for a long time, as if he were chanting, and in the blink of an eye half an hour had passed since he began to recite, but it seemed that there was no intention of stopping. Li Yunfei couldn't help frowning, the time for reciting the "Holy Scripture" was really too long, and he could see that even the Prince Mountbatten's face showed a trace of impatience.

Finally, after dragging the last coda to heaven, Kusa closed the Holy Book in his hand, made a gesture of prayer to the Father, and turned to make a blessing gesture to Piller.

At this moment, one of the attendants bowed over, lifted a golden tray above his head, and came to Cussa.

On top of this golden tray is a crown made of black iron, this black iron crown is carved with delicate patterns, and it is also inlaid with several blood-red gemstones, which is the duke's crown, which symbolizes the power of the Grand Duke!

Seeing this thing, Li Yunfei couldn't help but be a little curious. Because the iron-blooded prestige of Grand Duke Roland has almost become a legend, no one has ever dared to question his authority, so old Roland has never worn this thing at all on weekdays, and Li Yunfei has seen it for the first time.

Kusa turned around at an unspeakably slow pace, took the black iron crown in both hands, and came to Piller.

The official coronation can be said to be the most critical and important step in the entire succession ceremony, as long as Piller wears this duke crown, he will officially become the new Grand Duke, and no one can deny his legitimacy from then on!

"In the name of the Father, are you willing to be the guardian of Roland's people and protect your life with your life?" asked Kusa with a solemn face.

"Swear by life. Piller clasped his hands in prayer, closed his eyes and bowed his head, and said in a low but firm voice.

"In the name of God the Father, are you willing to be a defender of human dignity and defend your soul with your soul?"

"Swear by your soul. ”

"In the name of God the Father, are you willing to be a practitioner of the spirit of sacrifice and practice sacrifice through sacrifice?"

"Swear by deeds. ”

After Kusa asked three questions and Piller answered three times, Kusa turned to the crowd, holding the black iron crown in his hand, and asked aloud: "Piller Rollin inherits the throne of Archduke Roland, but is there anyone who opposes it?"

This last question is considered a common practice in the inheritance ceremony, and generally at the last step, the succession of the title is already a matter of course, and naturally no one will oppose it. This is just a gesture of respect for the guests and spectators.

Hearing this question, many nobles had a knowing smile on their faces, and they waited for Kusa to put the black iron crown on Piller's head.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the viewing platform: "I am against it!"

Originally, everyone still had a relaxed smile on their faces, but at this time, they didn't react at all for a while, and almost thought that they had heard it wrong.

In the next moment, everyone's eyes immediately cast their eyes in the direction where the voice came from, and they saw a person standing up in the first row of the noble viewing platform of Roland City, and the sentence just now was exactly what he said!

It's Bernie!

At the same time, there was a sudden sound of "rumbling" footsteps not far away, and I saw a group of soldiers dressed in stubborn and stubborn steps with neat steps, murderously coming to the square, completely surrounding the viewing platform and the coronation platform. It's the Praetorian Guards of the Bone City!

"Your Highness, it's all in order. Marquis Farke, who was supposed to belong to Piller's henchman, slowly stood up at this time and bowed to Bernie!
