Chapter 604: Royal Knight
When the army slowly drove into the royal capital, thunder sounded in the sky, and Lin Ye, who was still outside the city, heard the thunder and looked up at the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
If according to the ancient solar terms of the era in which he once lived, this should belong to the 24 solar terms.
Under this thunder, the insects that were dormant in the ground began to break through the ground and move, and a light rain poured down, and there is also a saying about this rain.
In the cognition of the young Duke of the Far East, the spring rain was as moist as crisp and as expensive as oil, and the long harsh winter was finally completely far away, and spring finally came.
Although he no longer set foot on the familiar land of his memory, what does it matter? The decaying empire will finally dissipate with the harsh winter.
Like a short-lived golden lion will soon fall into the dust of history, which is difficult to accept, but in the end, no one can escape.
A light rain washed over the vast open space in front of the palace, and the knights of the Royal Knights, who were once the proudest elite cavalry of the Empire, laid down their weapons one after another, and under the escort of the Far Eastern Army, went to their barracks to wait for the next order, their future was bleak.
As they walked down the street, the rain washed their hair and dripped slowly down their bright armor to the ground, and there was a lot of talk around them.
"Look, aren't they the Royal Knights? I heard that they are the most elite cavalry of the Empire, more powerful than the Border Army and the Central Legion. ”
"Yes, it has always been the highest honor for an Imperial soldier that only the bravest warriors can enter the Royal Knights and become a glorious member. ”
"What a desirable existence they were, but why did they just lay down their arms and surrender? ”
"What glory are they to lay down their arms and surrender without making any resistance? What glory are they? They are nothing but a complete joke!"
The townspeople who passed by, as well as other captured soldiers, pointed at these haughty knights, and undisguised their disdain in their hearts, scolding more and more.
It is unacceptable that the most elite soldiers not only did not fight valiantly on the battlefield, but surrendered without any resistance.
The scolding and rain hit the knights in the face mercilessly, everyone clenched their fists, and some of the younger knights had a tendency to rush out.
But the young knights were held down by the shoulders of the men next to them, and their seniors in the Order shook their heads lightly, signaling not to move.
"Why? Why do we do this? Isn't it the point of a soldier to die on the battlefield? What is our training day and night?"
"That's it, I can't stand being accused like this, I have the pride that I should carry out as a knight, and this is definitely not something I accept!"
"We are the defenders of the royal capital, and now that the royal capital has been captured by the enemy, shouldn't we live and die with the royal capital?
The young soldier clenched his fists and let out a low roar that they could not comprehend at all, and the nails of someone dug deep into the flesh, and blood was dripping from it.
"Alan, you said that you want to live and die with the royal capital, but what you see is only the accusation of a small number of people, do you see the attitude of the majority of the citizens?"
"The attitude of the majority of the citizens? Doesn't they want us to protect them? We don't live up to that, sir. ”
"No, you're wrong, you look over there, the nobles have lost their interests, so they blame them, you should be looking at the ordinary poor. ”
The older knights, after walking through the palace grounds, pointed to the street not far away, when the Far Eastern Army was entering the city, and the knights retreated to the side.
"Did you finally get in? Well done, you're Lord Lin Ye's army, right? ”
"And it's so disciplined, it doesn't have any impact on our lives, it feels like nothing has happened. ”
"What are you kidding, what do you mean it hasn't happened? Now that Rhaegar is stepping down, we will welcome Lord Lin Ye, and we will live a better life!"
A large number of citizens poured into the streets to cheer, and many women carried fruit baskets for the young soldiers of the Far Eastern Army, very enthusiastic.
The young and beautiful girls threw down their silk scarves printed with lipstick, and many young soldiers of the Far Eastern Army were thrilled by such a fragrant scene.
However, under the restraint of the officer, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, and occasionally he was quick to hide the underwear falling in the air.
"Tom, what did you just hide? Hurry up and hand it over, now that we have just entered the city, we must not destroy the discipline of the army and the image of the citizens!"
"Sir, you see that others are so enthusiastic, so you can be accommodating, really, and I am not the only one hiding things, there is him, he and him. ”
"Tom, you bastard, how did you confess to me? By the way, sir, Tom has not only hidden one, but there is still there, that's it!"
Under the reprimand of the officer, these young soldiers could only obediently hand over the hidden clothes, and the officer solemnly handed them over to the old woman on the side of the road.
"Are they from the Far East? they look so handsome, and they are from the Southern Rose City, and they are as beautiful as they were rumored. ”
"I've heard that life in the Far East is better than here in our royal capital, isn't it? ”
"Are you talking about soccer that has been very popular lately? I heard that there is a soccer league over there, but it's interesting, and I really want to go and see it. ”
"Being able to develop the little Far East into such a state, Duke Lin Ye is really a great man, where is he? Why didn't I see it. ”
"You can rest assured, Duke Lin Ye may become the next Emperor His Majesty, everyone says so, he must be much better than Rhaegar. ”
The young and beautiful girls threw all kinds of fragrant things in the attic at the passing soldiers, and they exchanged words and laughter.
The soldiers of the Far Eastern Army and the Rose Army were cheered, and the young knights of the Royal Order watched this scene in amazement, they had never enjoyed such treatment, and they really couldn't understand why the citizens they protected would give the enemy cheers and gave themselves spitting eyes.
"See? Allen, this is the real public opinion, do we want to confront the real people? The meaning of the existence of a soldier is to make sacrifices, but we should not confront these troops who receive the cheers of the people, such sacrifices are not only not glorious, but very shameful!"
The older knight shook his head slightly, he patted the young knight next to him on the shoulder, and they quickly walked away in silence.
