The whole square was silent, Theodore's arrogant proclamation was still echoing in the sky, and the blinding light of the radiant cross, like day, made them bow their heads uncontrollably.

Gently lifting the scabbard of the holy sword, Theodore's face was indifferent, the corners of his mouth were still slightly smiling, his right hand tightened the hilt of the sword, and the white light of the sword blade was placed in front of him, and with a faint starlight, he could see a short inscription engraved on it--but it was different from all the words he had seen.

"It was the Assyrian rune, the first generation of script, which was once used in the West, but was soon replaced by a more practical and convenient script. Maltheus walked over slowly, with a kind smile on his face, "The dwarves call it 'dragon language', because to speak this language, you need a rather high-pitched and deep voice. ”

"Courage, victory and fearlessness, only those who have them know how to overcome themselves. "This is the inscription of the Radiant Cross, and the inscription of the Radiant Cross, which was cast by the departed gods, the admonition and guidance of Zuihou, the honorable Lord Theodore Julian." ”

Theodore quietly looked at the blade of the Radiant Cross, which was as smooth as a mirror, and could even clearly see the appearance of a person, it could not be a product of this era, but you couldn't help but believe it.

Clutching the Radiant Cross, Theodore turned and walked towards the crowd. Malcius, with his cane, gracefully stroked his chest and made way for him. The knights watched Theodore's every step, and the holy cross of brilliance gave them no courage to speak.

Helena looked at Theodore, who was slowly walking towards her, and her eyes were lost. One by one, the knights beside him moved out of the way to both sides, and only Knight Ain, still stubbornly holding high the banner of the Glorious Cross, stood firmly behind Helena, unshaken.

Gently walking in front of Helena, Theodore slowly tucked the Radiant Cross into the scabbard. His eyes were fixed on the pair of sapphires that were soaked with moisture, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You already have the Radiant Cross, do you still need me?" Helena pouted slightly, her eyes a little lost, "They will all be loyal to you, 'Emperor Bixia'." ”

After saying that, Helena lifted the armor slightly, and seemed to be a little unaccustomed to the armor, and knelt down like a noblewoman in full costume. But Theodore suddenly dragged her lower armpits, and was stunned for a moment, and the girl's face blushed. He looked at Theodore in annoyance, but the other party just smiled and shook his head.

"You don't have to kneel to anyone, my Helena. Theodore's voice was so soft that only the girl herself could hear it, and her face turned redder: "Remember what I said, I will bring you victory and glory, I am Caesar, and I will do what I say, I am Theodore Julian." So I will never fail my friends!"

Gently placing Helena's right hand on the hilt, Theodore grasped the second half of the hilt and, with a slight force, pulled out the Radiant Cross again. The starlight bloomed in the crowd once more, and the two of them clenched the hilt of their swords, for Helena was a head shorter than Theodo, and had to straighten her arms. to be able to hold the hilt of the sword.

"I told you, Helena, if one day I met the love of my life. Will be the first to tell you. Theodore smiled and lowered his head slightly, looking at Helena, who was already blushing: "I think I have this qualification now, my dear Helena. ”

"Bear witness to the Radiant Cross, my lords. Theodore suddenly raised his voice and shouted to the crowd: "With the gods of Rome as a witness, under this firmament, all gentlemen will be my witnesses and witness my oath!"

"I, Theodore Julian. Caesar of Rome, knight of human shijie. Theodore shouted, "I will share the reign of the Radiant Cross with Her Highness Helena Pendragon! It is also a blessing from heaven that gives this land the hope of unity!"

"Gentlemen, the human shijie can no longer afford another split. I am willing to share this honor with everyone, bask in the light of the glorious cross together, and regain the glory that once belonged to us!"

Theodore looked at them, "What do you think? to unite and teach a harsh lesson to the orcs who have taken away their land from humanity, or to continue as you are and wait to be trampled under their feet one by one?!

"The people of Salion will never be trampled underfoot!" "Salald suddenly shouted, walking with a sword on his shoulder, with pride in his eyes: "Lion, will not be trampled underfoot!"

"We used to be brothers, we used to fight side by side, you saved my life, Salad will never forget. He grinned and gritted his teeth, pressing his right hand to his chest: "Tell me, do you still think of me as your brother?"

"From the past to the present, and of course to the future. As long as the golden laurel crown never falls, Julian will always be Ultok's friend. Theodore nodded rightly: "I will never forget that you once stood up and regarded me as your brother." ”

"Then you will get my sword!" Salald drew his saber and slammed it into the ground. Kneeling on one knee with a sword in both hands, he tilted his head and looked at Theodore: "Long live the human emperor!"

"I thought I would be the first. Aaron walked over with some annoyance, stood in front of Theodore, some wanted to laugh, and some wanted to scratch his head in fear: "My dad will definitely be angry with me!"

"He might be going to beat me up, but I don't think I'm wrong to do so, the Brennus family will always be the most loyal knights. Aaron slowly drew his sword and looked at Theodore with a serious expression: "But you have to swear, you know what I want you to say!"

"I will. Theodore smiled and glanced at Helena beside her, and the girl was embarrassed to bow her head, but the pride in her heart made her involuntarily puff up her chest.

"In that case, then I don't break my oath. Aaron excitedly put his sword on the ground like Salald, and fell to one knee: "Long live the human emperor!"

Bran quietly watched the scene in front of him, sighed softly, and stretched out his right hand to Sir Ludwig behind him: "Give me my sword, Ludwig." ”

"You don't have to. Sir Ludwig Ahart bowed his head expressionlessly: "I can go to the ............ now if you wish."

"That ending doesn't make any sense. Bran shook his head lightly and looked at Helena in disappointment, his eyes flashing with reluctance and sadness: "She...... The Radiant Cross has chosen a new owner, and ...... There is no need to fight anymore. ”

"Hope you don't regret it. Ludwig handed a long black sword into Bran's hand. It was a two-handed sword, so large that the twelve-year-old Bran couldn't even lift it.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency Theodore Julian. Bran did not back down and looked at Theodore, who was more than a head taller than him: "Now, the Radiant Cross belongs to you. ”

"If you can pull it out, it means that you have passed its test, and as a loser I admit my shortcomings. Bran said, "Congratulations. ”

"Its glory belongs to all, Duke Bran El Efvan. Theodore could see that the other party must have been extremely unwilling...... A child-like awkwardness, and the smile on his face became stronger: "It is a yearning, worthy of all of us, fight for it to the end." ”

"Maybe you're right. Bran nodded, his delicate forehead wrinkled, and his eyes were fixed on Theodore: "But, I hope you can cherish... Treasure... Cherish her, always. ”

"I'm willing to repeat this vow for the rest of my life. Theodore nodded: "Forever, even in the next life, I will not forget...... She. ”

"Then Laria's sword is yours. Bran knelt on one knee, and Ludwig behind him helped him pull his sword out of its sheath, and held it rather awkwardly: "Long live the Emperor!"

"Forgive my hesitation, Your Excellency Julian. Lord Charles and many of the powerful princes of the Kwyn River stood in front of Theodore: "I have heard that you have accepted the allegiance of the Talboya family with tolerance, I wonder if there has been such a thing?"

"Of course, it wasn't forced, and the Talboya Knight had always been loyal. As he spoke, Theodore smiled and looked at Al Yin behind Helena. The young female knight looked away from the "former lord" rather smugly: "It's all true. ”

"Under the witness of the Radiant Cross, the rich and prosperous River Kwyn will offer loyalty to its sovereign. Several lords knelt on one knee, and the sonorous sound of drawing their swords was endless: "Long live the emperor!"

"Alas...... I really didn't expect this to be the result!" Terenus sighed and strode forward, followed by Adjutant Will behind him.

"I owe allegiance to the Emperor, allegiance to Pendragon, allegiance to the Radiant Cross. The old man muttered in the presence of Theodore, "So, now I am going to you... Theodore Julian allegiance. ”

"Bang" The old man knelt down on one knee, holding his sword and let out a thunderous roar: "Long live the human emperor - !!!"

The roar turned into a wave, and the knights fell to their knees, and the sound of their swords drawn was incessant, and one after another bright swords guarded Theodore and Helena, who held the Radiant Cross, in the center.

"Long live the human emperor!!!"

"Long live the human emperor!!!"

"Long live the human emperor!!! ..................

............................................................................................................

"Finally, there was a glimmer of opportunity. Listening to the tidal cheers, Yelena breathed a sigh of relief and a relaxed smile appeared on her face: "Fate is back to us." ”

"No, not yet. Maltheus' face was solemn: "This is just the beginning!" (To be continued......
