Chapter Ninety-Six: Arrangement
"That makes sense, I'll pacify the monsters, and you'll take care of the rest. ”
After throwing the logistics to Pompey as is customary, Yalei snapped his fingers, motioned for everyone to turn their eyes to him, sat up straight, and said solemnly:
"The last thing, regarding the composition of the military management office of the Highland Kingdom, after careful consideration, I have decided to set up three departments: the Special Security Department, the Advisory Department, and the Logistics Department, and the following are the personnel arrangements. ”
Everyone immediately held their breath, the robbery was over, and it was really time to divide the spoils.
"The Minister of Special Security is proposed to be Carla, the Deputy Ministers Lydia, Bruno, and Clark, the Minister of Counsel is proposed to be Plit, the Deputy Ministers Beverly, Alcia, and the Minister of Logistics, Pompeo. ”
After finishing word by word, the black-haired knight looked around, and his gaze stayed on Nicole's face with a lost face: "Nicole, you stay in the guard army for the time being, and I will make other arrangements next." ”
"I knew you wouldn't forget me!" the knight turned to joy and smiled as she leaned back in her chair.
"I don't intend to hide anything about the Special Security Department, this is an important but usually quiet department, and the reason why I have placed the most combat-ready among you here is so that you have plenty of time to unleash your potential. ”
Yalei looked at several Disaster Knights and said seriously:
"Our business is just getting started, now is not the time to enjoy power and money, they are just derivatives of your elevated power, and I hope that my arrangement is conducive to the growth of all. ”
"I understand. ”
"I understand. ”
"I'm satisfied. ”
The big guy has arranged it so considerately, of course everyone has nothing to say, anyway, they are also the first requirement to hone themselves.
"Since you all understand. This concludes the meeting. ”
The black-haired knight was the first to rise from his throne. Fingers tapped twice on the tabletop:
"Let's go back and prepare. It's almost time for our new queen to arrive, and it's best to let her know the difference in strength before she thinks about it. ”
"Your Excellency, if you need something, I have a good idea here. Pompey then stood up, stared at the crown on the table, and said with a smile on his face.
......
Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock......
The sound of footsteps rumbling, the sound of tens of thousands of people walking in unison. As the team slowly advanced, it felt so earth-shattering and unstoppable, and behind this sound, there was a highland army that was rapidly approaching modernization.
On an open meadow, neat footsteps stirred up a cloud of dust, and groups of soldiers formed a horizontal line, marching neatly in front of a group of reviewers.
Each soldier did not squint, but listened intently to the voice of the officers shouting in Roussevian as they shouted the command in Roussevian and set off according to the Roussevian command. But they're all serious Celts!
It was a "Rossevia-style army" made up entirely of Celtic surrendered servicemen.
Although it only has the appearance and not much connotation, this clothing is consistent. The pace is neat, the armament is relatively reasonable, and the troops are also formed according to the "Rossavia-style army" method.
In the current Highland Kingdom, it is definitely an elite army that can fight well.
At least in the eyes of Queen Lilith and her rabble, this is an unstoppable force on its own. Moreover, on the opposite side of this "elite", there are nearly 10,000 troops of the Governor's Mansion who look even more imposing and obviously more elite.
The army of the Governor's Palace and the army of the Highland Kingdom were on the left and the right, armed in cold light, and stood on both sides of the straight road outside Edinburgh like a mountain and a forest, like two pincers of giant pincers, sandwiching the restoration army of the Pandoragon dynasty in the center.
“......”
Lilith wore a gorgeous golden openwork plate armor, her white cloak fluttering behind her, forced a calm smile, and walked forward through the cold eyes of the soldiers.
It was only a few hundred yards away, and it was more painful for her than the march that had taken place all this time combined.
Behind the lady, her followers and the army behaved even more unbearably, and before they were halfway there, they were already panting and struggling to walk under the watchful eyes of the armies on both sides.
"Whew...... Whew......"
As the chief hero of the Pandolagon Restoration, General Chartere (self-proclaimed) was very embarrassed, and as he walked through the corridors between the army of the Doge's Palace and the highland soldiers, he felt as if he were walking through the primeval forest with sesame oil, and his life was in danger at any moment.
“......”
Behind Chatter, Merlin looked a little different, just bowed his head and kept moving in silence, frowning as if there were many secrets hidden between his brows.
With her dedication and desire for the crown, her golden boots stepped on the rammed earth little by little, and Lilith finally walked the most difficult part of her life and stopped in front of the review stand.
Yalei looked at the sweaty Lilith, a smile curled up at the corner of his lips, strode forward, and grabbed her hand:
"Welcome to Edinburgh, Lady Lilith. ”
"Thank you for all that you have done for the Highlands, Your Excellency the Governor. The soon-to-be queen lady smiled and smiled impeccably.
As soon as they met, the two had been declaring their sovereignty in different ways, and in this regard, Lilith was not inferior at all, but in the current form, strength was obviously more effective than mouth.
"To welcome you, I have prepared a sumptuous dinner – all purchased by sea from Gaul and you will love it. ”
The black-haired knight took her hand and walked down the reviewing stand, his eyes sweeping over Pompey beside him, who immediately closed his eyes in understanding.
"You!"
Lilith suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't break free from his palm, and opened her mouth to shout, when the other party turned her face sideways, and her eyes were like the long bloody tongue of a hungry wolf, licking her face fiercely, and the noble lady subconsciously avoided her eyes, and at the same time felt a palpitation.
Will be killed...... All you have to do is shout yourself...... You will definitely be killed......
In extreme panic, Lilith slowly closed her mouth. Let the black-haired knight lead him into the city. Unconsciously. The rich armor was already dripping with sweat.
As soon as the two of them had left the main force some distance, Pompey opened his eyes, his eyes shining, and shouted at the restoration army of the Pandoragon dynasty:
"Allies, Your Excellency the Governor has prepared a dinner for you, so take off your armor and prepare to enjoy. ”
What is the connection between having dinner and removing clothes...... This is clearly to disarm us!
The top brass of the Restoration Army suddenly became angry, but as soon as they saw the left and right attacks, they were eyeing each other. And the two legions, which also had an absolute advantage in numbers, instantly cleared the courage they had accumulated with their anger and obediently handed over the weapons in their hands.
......
If the Restorationists dared to be angry but did not dare to speak after being disarmed by the Governor's Palace's army, when they saw the hordes of horrible and terrifying monsters hiding in the interior of Edinburgh, and a staggering number of them, they were left with only anxiety and fear.
Obviously, the deterrent power of monsters is higher than that of humans, if the monster army is shown at the beginning. Then Lilith is stupid and will not approach Edinburgh easily. Then the appearance of demons can not only counteract the resistance of the Restoration Army. It can also create a sense of disparity in the strength comparison.
Even if this group of people has the courage to resist, they can pull out a new force at any time.
However, it is nothing more than more twists and turns, the difference in strength is too great, and the ending is doomed from the beginning.
After saying goodbye to the most painful journey of her life, Lilith ushered in the most painful dinner of her life - being watched by six Scourge Knights and two Origin Knights.
In the military tent in the city, Yalei held up a glass of fake red wine that looked like red wine, but was actually juice, and frequently signaled to the noblewoman:
"Miss Lilith, cheers. ”
"Cheers ......"
Lilith reluctantly raised her goblet, took a sip of her drink, lowered her head, and observed everyone's expressions through the reflection of the glass.
"By the way, Miss Lilith, what about your guardian knight, Mr. Paddy?" asked the black-haired knight suddenly.
"Mr. Paddy was wounded by a stray arrow to protect me...... Tragically passed away. The lady held her glass and replied softly.
"What kind of stray arrow can hurt the Origin Knight?" Are's eyes narrowed warily.
"I'm sorry I don't know, it's a dark golden feathered arrow, it was silent when it came out, the speed is unimaginable, and it is probably coated with poison, Mr. Paddy was just scratched on the wrist, and he died of poison quickly. Lilith said with tears in her eyes and a choked voice.
"It's a shame......" the black-haired knight secretly remembered the incident.
"Yes, what a pity, Mr. Paddy is such a good man, strong and personable...... Died to protect the lady and was a true knight. ”
Lilith observed his expression through the reflection of the wine glass, and said with a sad expression.
"I will clarify the cause of Mr. Paddy's death, and the murderer will be punished as he deserves. Yalei's eyes were dark and deep in the candlelight, faintly exuding a breathtaking oppressive force.
"Of course...... Of course......" The lady bowed her head slightly.
"Prepare for the crowning of the Highlands in two days. ”
The black-haired knight was full of Paddy's cause of death at the moment, and he was not in the mood to accompany her politely, so he put down the dishes and left the military tent with a calm face.
"Coronation?"
Lilith looked up, her voice trembling slightly, vaguely excited, but more uneasy.
"Yes, crowned. ”
Hearing this, Yalei stopped, turned to look at her, and raised his index finger in his left hand:
"It's up to me to crown you. ”
......
The reception hall of the Royal Palace.
The white floor was covered with smooth, mirror-like marble floors, each one in a huge square shape that could almost reflect the shadow of a person. Above is a hemispherical densely grained ceiling, dotted with silver dots. A huge crystal chandelier hangs down in the middle, emitting a bright light.
The hall was filled with the future magnates and lords of the Highland Kingdom, some of whom belonged to the Restoration, some of whom belonged to the new Descendants, and some of whom belonged to the former Leadway, such as the Gilled family.
Dense crowds of people crowded every corner of the hall, and their eyes were focused on the ceremonial platform in front of the throne in the middle of the reception hall.
Dressed in a cumbersome governor's gown, Yare held a golden crown of the Highlands, and stared solemnly at Lilith who was half-kneeling in front of him.
Behind the two stood neatly the collective high-level of the Governor's Palace, as well as some ceremonial guards covered in steel armor and armed with long swords.
The ceremony is of course semi-coercive, and the black-haired knight wants to establish the status of the military command over the royal family through this coronation, and evolve it into an institution - if you want to be a king, I will crown you.
The bright lights sprinkled on everyone, making the hall faintly have a bit of sacred color.
"Now begin the ceremony. Yalei said solemnly.
Bell - bell - bell ——!
The melodious sound of bells came from outside the palace.
After three sounds, the black-haired knight raised the crown in his hand, and at the same time, the maids stepped forward and sprinkled flower petals and rain dew on the soon-to-be-crowned queen, and soon the whole palace smelled a faint fragrance of flowers.
Lilith bowed her head and half-knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly, and the red petals slowly fluttered from the top of her head, half-covering and half-hiding the pale face of the noblewoman.
unimaginable humiliation...... Unparalleled unwillingness to ......
She never imagined that on this day, she would be crowned king by a local governor of Rosevia by kneeling and prostrating.
After all, Emperor Rosevia is the nominal co-ruler of the world, and there is nothing to say about kneeling down himself, but actually bowing down in front of a young man who is not even a general, Lilith never dreamed of such a ridiculous thing.
"In the name of His Majesty the Emperor, the will of the Senate, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Administration of the Celetic Governor's Palace, I will from now on bestow upon you, Lilith Pandoragon, the crown of King of the Highlands. ”
Yalei put the golden crown in his hand on Lilith's head, and said solemnly and loudly, he is now regarded as a shepherd with the authority of the god king, and now he is crowned in the name of the emperor, and the kneel of the king of a vassal state is naturally bearable.
"By the grace of the Lord, clothed with the glory of your majesty. ”
The new queen lowered her head, not letting the coldness in her eyes shine.
"Congratulations, Your Highness Lilith, you are now the rightful king of the Highlands, with a title equivalent to that of Prince Rosevia, do you have anything to say?"
The black-haired knight stretched out his hands and lifted the crowned, crowned-garmented queen from the ground.
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, and for all that Your Excellency has done for us. Lilith said quietly and weakly.
"Let's cheer for the Queen, God bless the Queen!" Jarley grabbed the Queen's arm, raised his hands in the air, and roared loudly.
"God bless the Queen, long live the Emperor!" shouted the higher-ups of the Governor's Palace.
"Long live the Emperor!"
Soon, the legions of the Governor's Palace, the upstarts of the Highland Kingdom, and the magnates of the future House of Commons bowed down one after another, shouting feverishly for the newborn kingdom shrouded in eternal fire.
