Chapter 129: Banquet Killing Machine (I)
However, compared to the high walls of Dehrim, the outer perimeter of Suggs City is only a simple earthen wall, and most of the houses in the city are wooden, full of a primitive and rough style.
When Ye Tianlong admired the architectural style of this Suggs City, which was different from those big cities in the Swadia Kingdom, several Nord royal guards came over, and after confirming Ye Tianlong's identity, they took Ye Tianlong and his personal guards and cavalry to a military camp to rest, and by the way, freshen up and change clothes.
Because he was attending a banquet, he naturally couldn't wear armor, but fortunately, Ye Tianlong had already prepared when he came, and brought a few sets of noble robes.
Each nobleman can bring three relatives to the banquet, and Ye Tianlong is ready to bring Shi Wengong, Ye Er and James with him.
Among them, Shi Wengong and Ye Er are naturally bodyguards, especially Ye Er's height of nearly three meters, they don't need to use their hands, just to go there, they are full of deterrence.
As for bringing James, it is because this kid is the illegitimate son of a certain nobleman, and if you bring him, you can ask for advice at any time if you encounter some etiquette problems at the banquet, so as not to make a fool of a newcomer like him who is attending a noble banquet for the first time.
After freshening up and changing into the luxurious aristocratic robes, Ye Tianlong and the four of them rushed to the palace in a carriage.
This carriage was specially sent by King Ragnar to pick up Ye Tianlong, and the other party also knew that Ye Tianlong came from afar, and there was not even a foothold in this Suggs City, so he would definitely not be able to prepare the carriage in advance, if the other party came to the banquet on foot, it would also damage the majesty of the nobles, so a carriage was specially arranged to be responsible for picking up Ye Tianlong and them.
However, what King Ragnar didn't expect was that Ye Tianlong would bring such a minotaur as Ye Er this time, the weight of the other party was really amazing, and after boarding the carriage, the two horses pulling the cart were almost unable to walk. The carriage itself creaked incessantly, as if it was about to disintegrate in the next second.
So in the end, Ye Tianlong could only let Ye Er walk on his legs below, fortunately, this minotaur had amazing endurance, and he followed the carriage all the way to the gate of the palace, and his face was not red and he was not panting.
The guards standing guard at the gate of the palace were also very surprised when they saw Ye Er, a tall minotaur with a very different appearance from ordinary humans, or Ye Tianlong personally got out of the carriage and explained to them before letting them go.
At this time, at the gate of this palace, there were already a lot of carriages parked, James glanced at it, and felt that almost all the nobles of the Nord Kingdom had arrived, thinking that these nobles were quite face-saving to His Majesty this time!
Later, after following the boss Ye Tianlong into the banquet scene, facing the nobles he met, James also introduced Ye Tianlong one by one.
While listening to James's introduction, Ye Tianlong wanted to step forward to make friends with one or two nobles, but unfortunately, maybe it was because he was followed by Ye Er, a terrifying-looking minotaur, so those nobles avoided Ye Tianlong when they saw Ye Tianlong coming, and they didn't give Ye Tianlong a chance to talk at all.
Ye Tianlong was bored with himself, so he could only find a corner casually and began to taste some of the delicacies prepared at the banquet.
Ye Er was also unceremonious at this time, picked up a pig's head and gnawed on it.
Just when Ye Tianlong was eating in the corner, with a shout from the chamberlain, King Ragnar, the host of the banquet, finally arrived at the scene under the arch of dozens of personal guards.
It can be seen that King Ragnar is in a very good mood today, combing a very energetic big back, his beard is also trimmed neatly and stylishly, and he is wearing a black noble robe with gold trim, which can be said to show the nobility and majesty of his king.
After entering the banquet scene, King Ragnar, who was in a good mood, greeted every nobleman he saw with a smile, and when it was Ye Tianlong's turn, he patted Ye Tianlong's shoulder and praised Ye Tianlong a few times, it seems that Ye Tianlong's promotion of the title this time is a sure thing.
When those veteran nobles saw this scene, their eyes were full of jealousy, but they all endured it and did not attack on the spot, after all, in their opinion, since Ye Tianlong is here today, then don't leave, and go down with King Ragnar to be a companion later.
After greeting the more than sixty nobles present, King Ragnar did not say anything nonsense and directly announced the start of the banquet.
And Ye Tianlong, as a hero who made great contributions in this national war, was also expected by everyone to be promoted to count by King Ragnar soon after the banquet began, and was also awarded a large territory.
After giving Ye Tianlong the reward, King Ragnar also became interested in Ye Er, the minotaur who followed Ye Tianlong, and asked Ye Tianlong about Ye Er's origin.
Ye Tianlong naturally wouldn't tell the other party that Ye Er was summoned by him from another world, and he told King Ragnar that Ye Er was found in a cave when he went out this time, and the other party should be a congenitally deformed human being, who was abandoned by his parents in the mountains and forests because of a bull's head, but although he looked ugly and deformed, he was also born with divine power and was a natural warrior, so he let the other party be his own personal guard captain.
When King Ragnar heard that the other party was born with divine powers, he was immediately more interested, after all, people had often praised him like this before!
However, now that he has become a king, he can't compete with the other party in person, so he wants to send a few of his strong men to compete with Ye Er.
At this kind of celebration banquet, Ragnar did not mean to let the two sides test their weapons and fists, so as not to cause death, but just let Ye Er and those strong men use tug-of-war to test their strength.
"Ye Tianlong, you said that your subordinates are born with divine power, so can he alone be worthy of the strength of my strong men?"
Facing King Ragnar's inquiry, Ye Tianlong took a sip of fruit wine and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can try ten first!" ”
Ye Er's own strength value is as high as 260 points, if King Ragnar sends ten strong men, the total value of this power may be higher than Ye Er, but after all, this is ten people, and it is impossible to really perfectly superimpose their power together, so Ye Tianlong feels that even if ten strong men compete with Ye Er, it will be difficult to win.
And King Ragnar didn't hesitate when he heard Ye Tianlong say this, and immediately called ten strong men to prepare for a unique tug-of-war with Ye Er.
Under the gaze of everyone at the banquet scene, Ye Er stepped forward and grabbed the rope used for tug-of-war, and wrapped it around the palm of his right hand a few times to ensure that it would not slip out of his hand.
And on the opposite side of him, the ten strongmen with big shoulders and round waists had also grabbed the rope, and then with a shout from a big man who was nearly two meters tall, these ten strongmen exerted their strength together and began to pull the rope back.
These ten strong men exerted their strength together, and the force was indeed very strong, and the whole rope was tense instantly, and Ye Er, who was just pulling the rope with one arm, was dragged and almost rushed forward.
Feeling the huge force coming from the rope, Ye Er also instantly became serious, only to see him grasp the rope with both hands, and then the pair of anti-joint hooves kicked the ground, trying to pull the rope to his side.
The thick and sturdy rope couldn't help but get tighter and tighter under the hard pull of the two people, as if it would not be able to withstand the huge force of pulling each other and break in the next second.
After the two sides stalemate for a while, Ye Er felt that the other party's strength began to slowly decrease, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to pull the rope towards his side.
The ten strong men on the opposite side are also helpless, they are ten people after all, and they can't really twist the strength of ten people into one, after the initial outbreak of that while, they gradually feel a little struggling, and want to pull the rope over again, but because of the lack of tacit understanding, they can't force ten people at the same time and fail repeatedly.
On the other hand, Ye Er, not only did he rely on all his brute strength to output alone, but his endurance was also extremely amazing. As the two sides continued to wrestle, the strength on the opposite side began to get weaker and weaker, but the strength on Ye Er's side remained the same.
The purple strip of cloth tied in the middle of the rope had already begun to be dragged to the opposite side a little bit as Ye Er gained the upper hand, and it looked like it was about to be completely dragged across the line, once the line was crossed, then the ten strong men also lost the game.
Ten people are no match for one person in strength, which is definitely a huge shame for them Hercules, so after these Hercules glanced at each other, they finally used several forces at the same time again, and the rope tied with the cloth began to slowly pull back to them.
The two sides of the wrestling were afraid of speaking out for fear of being discouraged, so they didn't dare to speak. And the audience at the scene also didn't dare to breathe, for fear of affecting the two sides of the wrestling, and the banquet scene became very quiet for a while.
In the midst of the silence, a maid quietly approached King Ragnar with a plate of wine, seemingly unintentionally.
Just as he got close to being only about ten meters away from King Ragnar, a palace guard suddenly stopped in front of him with an expressionless face.
On the other side, Ye Er was not in a hurry in the face of the sudden counterattack of the opponents, because he could feel that the opponent was at the end of the crossbow, and those strong men were all flushed at this time, and some even the capillaries on their faces burst open, and wisps of blood came out of their faces, which shows that these guys have really used their strength to eat.
Sure enough, after that afterburner lasted for a while, those strong men finally used up their last strength, and the pull from the rope began to weaken rapidly, Ye Er took the opportunity to pull hard, not only directly dragged the strip of cloth tied on the rope over the line, but even dragged the two frontmost strong men to the ground.
"Really won! Sure enough, it's a natural divine power! ”
When everyone at the scene saw this scene, they couldn't help but exclaim. Even King Ragnar was amazed by the divine power that Ye Er displayed.
Before King Ragnar could recover from his astonishment, several of his chamberlains and maids suddenly pulled out short knives and daggers from their cuffs and stabbed them in the necks and faces of the guards around him.
Because of the large number of maids and chamberlains who suddenly burst out, these guards under King Ragnar were quickly stabbed to the ground by the cooperation of three or five of the assassins, although they reacted with their strength to resist.
The Assassins then rushed towards King Ragnar, who was sitting on the throne, and for a moment King Ragnar seemed to be in a mortal situation.
