Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Situation in the Imperial Capital (4)
Ryan's face was slightly red, he was a little unaccustomed to being praised by others like this, and Franner didn't care about Ryan's feelings at the moment, but said to himself: "Kind heart, tenacious perseverance, outstanding strength, and unreserved trust in companions, such people are rare on this continent.," Franner said this, and his tone suddenly changed: "Ryan, do you know that if a person of your age had the strength of yours, if he had the status of a nobleman, he would have been flying high a long time ago." But you don't look down on others, but you are humble to people everywhere, usually low-key and unassuming, usually some old men with dozens of years of life experience will do this!"
"Ahh
"So," Flanner continued, "you'd better be lively." You sometimes come up with some childish behaviors, like a young man is persistent, a little willful, and even bullied by a few of us, which makes our hearts a little bit balanced, it turns out that you Lane, after all, is still a person, a young man!"
"Ahh β
"That's good!" Alendor, who has always been a man of few words, also said: "Lane, do you know that your tenacity in the face of the enemy sometimes gives me a great illusion, as if you are a battle-hardened powerhouse, not a young man who is not yet 20 years old. I remember when you and I went to scout the orc intelligence, you hated the orcs because of the abuse of the remains of human mercenaries, and then actually set the tent on fire by mistake, at that time I suddenly realized that you are really a 'human', not a monster, hehe, people will always make mistakes. β
"Really. Faraz couldn't help but interject: "Red once told me privately that when we were on an adventure together, you made him feel too much pressure, so much so that he had to bully you more at every opportunity, otherwise this psychology is really unbalanced." β
"Yes, I remember when I was in Giethoorn," said Elendo.
"And that time," Faras said.
"Last time," Flanner said.
Ryan watched the three of them cry and laugh as they talked, getting more and more excited, and suddenly shouted: "Stop!" Faras and the three of them stopped talking together, looking at Ryan, Ryan rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of a good way to divert their attention, he said: "I haven't seen Red for a long time, why don't we go and see him!"
The three of them froze for a moment, and then laughed together, which made Ryan even more overwhelmed, so he had to subconsciously scratch his hair.
What Flanner said just now was not untargeted, and now Ryan's frustration has been completely left behind, but Flanner feels that he needs to add one last sentence, he considered the sentence for a while, and said in a very ordinary tone: "Ryan, don't be too restrained, do whatever you want, anyway, behind you, there will always be us!"
Ryan's eyes moistened, he now understood the meaning of Franner's words, and deeply felt the friendship between Alendor and Franna towards him, and of course, the sweetness that Faraz was worth looking forward to. Ryan suddenly remembered his move at AtlΓ©tico Royale, and he stretched out his right hand and shouted, "Ryan!"
Faras was stunned, but immediately understood Lane's intentions, and immediately put his slippery right hand on Lane's right hand, and then said firmly: "Faras!"
Of course, Elendor has experienced it, and without hesitation, he also stretched out his right hand, put it on Faraz's right hand, and shouted, "Elendor!"
After the demonstrations of the previous ones, Franner certainly did the same, and he also shouted loudly as Ryan learned: "Franna!"
Ryan waited for Flanner to call out his name and said loudly, "We are a perfect whole, and we will create our own miracle!"
Faraz, Allendo, and Franner shouted with Ryan, "Kill!" The voices of the four men intertwined, echoing in the blue sky.
The royal chamber was still in chaos, and the officials of the empire were constantly arguing for their interests, but unfortunately no one was willing to give in, so even after arguing for more than twenty days, it was still the same. Of course, in the past 20 days or so, it is not just a matter of moving one's mouth, when there is a disagreement because of an argument and it is impossible to reach a consensus with others with the weapon of language, it is inevitable that they will use force to physically attack their opponents, and all kinds of frightening weapons such as stinky eggs, rotten fruits, or socks that have been worn for more than ten days have emerged one after another, fully demonstrating the wisdom of these officials, although they have never been so attentive in handling government affairs.
"Bang!" The door to the Royal Council Chamber was slammed open, and Orlando and Luke, dressed in military uniforms, strode in, followed by hundreds of heavily armed Holy Knights. The attention of the arguing officials was suddenly overwhelmed, and the whole hall suddenly became much quieter.
"You, what are you going to do?" an official asked in a trembling voice, "Don't you know this is the council chamber?" Neither Orlando nor Luke spoke, but the neat steps of the hundreds of holy knights kept their mouths shut tightly as the officials who had spoken and were about to speak.
Orlando strode to the center of the council chamber, he looked around at the officials, and said in a loud voice: "According to the laws of the Empire, when His Majesty is unable to deal with the government for some reason, and the Empire is facing a great threat, I, as the head of the Royal Knights and the supreme military governor of the Imperial Capital, have the right to declare the Empire in a state of war. β
"Now that the Thunder God Fortress has fallen in the northern defense line of the Empire, more than 400,000 elite orc troops have crossed the Thor Fortress from the North Talon Grassland into the South Talon Grassland, the Clay tribe has rebelled, and Sunrise City, an important port city in the north of the Empire, has also been captured by the Orcs!
A fat official, who couldn't even see his own feet, whispered, "Aren't they always submitting to us?" Orlando glanced at the official, and his majestic gaze made the fat official tremble, and buried his head deeply, never daring to raise it again.
Luke walked up to the fat official, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a mocking tone: "Your courage is really good, you actually question the words of the Holy Knight, don't you know the eight tenets of the Holy Knight?" Speaking of this, Luke's tone changed and he explained in a calm voice: "After General Orlando learned the news of His Majesty's death, he immediately rushed back to the imperial capital, but he was sniped by the Clay clan on the way. The retreating troops of the Thor Fortress were also raided by the Clay cavalry on the way back to the imperial capital, and the losses were great. And according to the news from the defeated troops of Thor's Fortress, the fall of Thor's Fortress was not because our human warriors were defeated by the orcs, but because of the traitors! It was this spy hidden within us who disrupted the defenders of Thor's Fortress, allowing the orcs to easily climb over the city wall and successfully attack the defenders of Thor's Fortress, causing our army to have to make a strategic shift!"
"Now I declare a state of emergency in the Empire!" General Orlando's voice echoed in the Royal Council Chamber: "Everything must be done for the sake of war, and any violation of the wartime control laws will be severely punished by the Royal Knights, depending on the severity of the circumstances, and if necessary, executed on the spot without trial!"
"Bastard, you are just a little knight, who gave you the power?" shouted an official, who was about seventy years old, "Only His Majesty the Supreme King can do this!
"I can attest to General Orlando's loyalty to the Empire!" an old voice suddenly came from the doorway, and everyone followed the voice, but it was Archbishop Iber, who had been recuperating behind closed doors since the day of His Majesty's coronation. Archbishop Iberle walked slowly into the royal chamber, and he had not seen him for more than a month, his body was getting weaker and weaker, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
"Ahem, ahem. Ibor coughed a few times and said to the officials in the council chamber, "I think I'm the only one who is qualified to prove General Orlando's loyalty, because I was there when he received the blessing of the god of war and accepted the Holy Knight inheritance." Usually there are two witnesses to such occasions, the other being His Majesty Fernando XII, who has long since passed away. β
Iber's prestige was quite high in the imperial capital, and his words made everyone present close their mouths tightly. "It is well known that the Holy Knight must make an oath and maintain it for the rest of his life when he carries out the inheritance and receives the blessing, and if the Holy Knight breaks his oath, he immediately loses the power he received from the inheritance and blessing. β
Iberl's voice was particularly vicissitudes in the silent council chamber, and he slowly told the secret that no one knew: "General Orlando's oath, I can't tell you completely, because it involves a lot of things. However, one of the most important words in this oath is 'always loyal to the Fernando bloodline', which is one of the reasons why His Majesty resolutely awarded the position of head of the Royal Order to General Orlando. Everyone should know that General Orlando was just a civilian at that time, and before receiving the inheritance and blessing, his strength and qualifications were not the best candidate for the regimental commander. β
As soon as Archbishop Iber's words were finished, General Orlando stretched out his right hand and read a word in praise of the god of war, and a golden light shone from his palm, shining in all directions like a tiny sun. Every person who is illuminated by this golden light without exception has a warmth emerging from their hearts, which wraps the person's body tightly, so that people can no longer have negative emotions such as hatred and doubt.
