The midsummer sun shone on Caesarea as it awoke from the morning mist, and the clean central avenue was as neat as new, from the south gate to the temple facing the front. The cedar gates, fastened with golden copper plates, were hung with bright ribbons early, and the flaming golden laurel banners of Rome were lowered from the towers, fluttering gently one after another.

The Roman cavalry wing, which had been urgently assembled, took on the responsibility of maintaining order in the city, and the crowds from all sides were blocked on both sides of the central avenue, from the city gates to the Piazza della Gods. For the first time, these proud cavalrymen knew the hardships of the infantry, and trying to maintain an absolutely straight stance despite the countless people pushing and crowding behind them was even more terrifying than crushing the orc warband head-on.

Surrounded by nobles from all sides, as well as the dwarven Cobblestone Council and the Emissaries of Anduria, surrounded by statues of twelve gods, dressed in elaborate armor or dazzling robes, stood in an orderly position befitting their status, waiting patiently.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime event for the people of the north, and for the nobles, it was the best time for them to show their loyalty to the "new emperor", the establishment of a new empire meant many things, and the most important thing was title and status. Theodore's reputation for generosity won him the hearts of most people. He had been very generous when he was only a lord of Caesarea, and it was believed that he would be able to continue to be generous after he had been given the dominion of the North.

On the steps of the temple, the senators, dressed in toga's robes, stood with their hands folded, preparing with the most solemn expression to welcome the return of the young Caesar. Even Virgil, who was always a smiling face, had to get serious. The right hand is clenched into a fist and pressed against the heart, as if ready to give his fiery heart for Rome.

The trumpet sounded, the loud and majestic Roman trumpet sounded from outside the city, full of victory and high morale, slowly pushed open the ornate city gate, holding high the Roman eagle flag, the golden laurel banner and the glorious cross banner Paulus, Valens, and Al Ain knights rode brown horses in the front, more than a dozen trumpeters followed closely, and the loud trumpets made everyone stretch their heads to look behind.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the three black steeds threw their heads proudly. Stomping through the city gates. The moment the golden chariot entered everyone's sight, the starlight burst out from the glorious cross made the cheers explode in the crowd at once, and the tears in the eyes, the impassioned shouts were like instructions from the sky. It was as if it was a cry from the sky. The whistling tide is the sound of "Long live the human emperor——!!!!"!

Theodore held aloft the starry Cross of Radiance. Holding on to the edge of the chariot and staring straight ahead, Helena, dressed in milky white armor, stood behind him with her sheath in her hands, her serene and holy smile gently raised. Black wheels rumble. The cheers of the mountains and tsunamis are accompanied by fluttering petals falling from the sky, flying colorful satins and bouquets of flowers swaying excitedly, and the chanting of blessings and praises is more like a shout.

Immediately behind the golden chariot were Duke Salard Urtok of Salion, Aaron Brenus of Mistema, Bran Elvwan of Larria, Terenus, Mehemus, Bodø, Pabriuk...... These leaders, who held important positions as commanders and symbolized the power of the north, rode horses of different colors unhurriedly, and the flag bearers struggled to raise their flags and follow behind, showing the unity of the power of the north.

A thousand carefully selected soldiers took up the honor guard of the triumphal procession, erected their shields in front of them, and lined up in a phalanx of five with spears held high, and the sound of neat steps was almost drowned out by the cheers of the crowd. Standing at the front were the peasants from the Kwen River, these peasants in shiny iron armor who wore regular service for the first time in their lives looked like fools, their round eyes looked ahead, like marionettes, and their raised feet were about to be cocked behind them, so that the soldiers behind them scolded countless times in their hearts while following the strange rhythm of this group of people.

The little Duke Bran, who was slightly overwhelmed by the towering big and high-necked man, looked at the Kwen River peasants behind him with the afterglow of his obsidian, and a hint of an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned his gaze to the "His Majesty the Human Emperor" in front of him again.

"It's such an unforgettable sight, it's hard to imagine that our ancestors didn't record this scene for anything. Standing at the front of the Anduria Mission, Alpha Yi looked at the white light that soared into the sky with emotion, and said to himself: "If you want me to say, anyone who has seen it will never forget. ”

"Because the birth of that starlight also means the fall of the Noldor's former glory - and the proud ancestors certainly don't want to admit it. Sibeya, who was standing beside him, seemed to be mocking, and her eyes were confused: "However, the human emperor is the human emperor, and the radiant cross makes his light cover all his contemporaries." ”

"Haven't you given up yet?" Alpha sighed softly, "Your father told me something - son, we can't force this, that human majesty already has someone who belongs to him, you are just doing useless work, he is not worthy of you, really." ”

"I know that he will not belong to me, he is the emperor of men, he is Caesar, the proud god, and he will only tease me again and again. Sibea smiled calmly, like a moonlight flower blooming in the night: "But I belong to him, and he is the only one." Because, because ......"

"Because of what?"

"Nothing!" Sibea tilted her head to interrupt Alpha's words, and raised the fiber guide in her right hand to the far side of the square: "Look, the horse in the middle is dragging the chariot is Weber, Theodore's favorite horse, he, they're coming!"

The proud Webber tapped the horse's hooves, and the wheels of the golden chariot stopped not far in front of the temple, Theodore raised the corners of his mouth proudly, and handed the Radiant Cross to Helena with both hands: "My dear Highness, the Radiant Cross should be guarded by you, and I believe that there is no second person present who has this qualification more than you." ”

"It's a great honor. Helena's smile filled with light, and the sacred cross of brilliance was reinserted back into its sheath. Pulling the purple haze away, Caesar, dressed in a sharp face, stepped off the chariot. Walk side by side with Helena, who held the Radiance Cross on her shoulders in both hands, and walked side by side towards the steps of the temple.

Several commanders also dismounted, clutching the hilts of their swords and following behind. The nobles and legations on both sides of the square gathered from both sides towards the center, forming a semicircle in front of the white stone steps, and the black-robed knights of the Imperial Guard stood tall with their swords and arched on both sides of the stairs.

"Remember when I promised you. Theodore, tilting his head up the steps, said in a voice that could only be heard by Helena: "At my triumphal ceremony, you will stand there to meet me—in front of the pillars of the temple." ”

"But today, we're standing here side by side, it's not my triumph alone, Helena. It's all in our hands. Theodore smiled: "The gods will witness everything!"

"Nope. This is your triumphal style. It can only belong to you. You are the Emperor of People, and there can only be one Emperor of People. Helena's smile softened: "Princess, will stand behind the prince, and not compete with him for light." ”

"Even if it is. Half, half a prince!" Helena's face flushed slightly: "Be the emperor of the people you should be." Tell them everything you want to tell them. ”

"Your faithful courtiers welcome you back. Caesar, and Her Royal Highness Helena Pendragon, a descendant of the Venerable Pendragon. The chief senator, Herodotus, as the representative of the Senate, took the initiative to step forward and bend down: "All the Romans have heard of the great battle at the Broken Mountain and the Kwyn River, and all of them are praising and praying for you. ”

"The gods bless Rome. The gods bless all the righteous who rise up against the forces of darkness!" Theodore said in a deep voice, "Thank the gods for the great victory they have given us!"

Theodore turned around with a serious expression, and Bran, Aaron, and Salald, who were standing at the bottom of the stairs in turn, knelt down on one knee, and the nobles who were watching the ceremony in a semicircle followed, kneeling down like a wave, looking up at Theodore and Helena standing in front of the pillars of the temple, and the celebratory square suddenly became silent.

"When the earth shakes, the living beings are devastated, and the shadow of death fills the sky, the whole world will enter the endless abyss;

The sins of the past will be punished, the glory of the past will be dimmed, the order of the past will collapse, and chaos and despair will accompany the souls of all.

The oath is forgotten, the strong heart fades in comfort, and under the power of destruction, the fear will not end, and the angry revenge will bring fear to all.

The power of glory will be restored in the north, the opportunity for rise will be born here, the eagle soaring in the sky will bring all the courage of victory, and the impregnable iron wall will come from the strength of unity!" Theodore recited with a solemn expression: "The prophecy handed down from ancient times has been confirmed today, we have lost, but we will surely regain it!

"The gods have sent down an omen on the Broken Mountains and burned their enemies to ashes, and in the Kwyn we have fought bloody battles against the enemy, and the valiant men have come forward to follow suit, for they have triumphed us!" Theodore's voice grew louder and louder, and at last it almost roared: "The orcs have been raging for too long, and they have been arrogant for too long!

"Drink to the beautiful bar of victory, toast to the heroes who died - toast to the heroes who fought in Issos, to the heroes who fought in the Forest of Silence! to the heroes who fought in the castle of Tulga, to all the heroes who fought to the death against the orcs!"

Theodor's face suddenly rose up, as if he was brewing feelings, and then said in a deep voice:

"Long live the Empire——!!!!"

(Although I don't want to.,But the manuscript has been exhausted.,So as a senior in high school.,I've had to stop updating it temporarily.,This chapter is even the most sorry farewell to all the book friends who chase books before this.,There will be no more updates before June 10th.,I'll try to recover after June 10th.,Of course,It's a day at that time.。

Before I knew it, this book was really about to be written for a year, and a lot of things happened in this year, and I also met a lot of people. "Banner of Glory" is really like my friend, this friend has witnessed my growth, and he has also grown up because of my growth, how to control the story of millions of words, how to lay the plot, how to tell an inner story, I have learned a lot, really responded to the words of the dancing god, the threshold of the online writer is behind the door, it is easy to come in and it is difficult to become a god, and the empty is still in the initial stage of hitting the street, and it is expected to transform into a professional niche street writer in the next 20 years.

Because after many understandings, Kongkong learned that most readers are too vague and dissatisfied with the description of the character of "Banner of Glory" (especially the protagonist and the protagonist), and they are not the slightest interested in the story of Theodor's descendants, so it won't take too long for "Banner of Glory" to come to an end, this is a legendary knight's dream, and I try to end it in a legendary way, I hope everyone will like it.

Empty Ghost Thorough, four days before the college entrance examination!(To be continued......)
