This is not a coronation.

Today's ceremony is declared "coronation" simply because most people in this era are more familiar with the term.

Gawain leaned on the pioneer long sword and stood on the skull of a false god like standing on the top of a mountain. The black platform had a deep texture that was completely different from the style of the royal family in the past. The wings made of steel spread out on both sides of the platform, carrying the empire. The cloth curtain of the emblem extends all the way to the ground, and in front of the emblem is the Iron Ranger Chapter entering the square.

Different from the black armor of the magic infantry, the fully enclosed helmet full of mystery, the more orderly phalanx, and the more cutting-edge weapons, the appearance of the second phalanx once again caused a commotion in the crowd inside and outside the square. The shock also spread to the platform of the castle district.

The nobles of the royal capital, the representatives of the merchants, the old knight officers and the representatives of the church who were invited to watch the ceremony wore their most beautiful dresses, did dozens of drills at home, and were ready to welcome the king's coronation. and cheers, but when the moment really came, they almost all forgot how to react.

This isn't a coronation, it's a show and a meaningful "tell."

Cromwell?? Earl of White Mountain stood on the platform of Silver Castle. This knight lord with dwarf blood stared at the soldiers marching in line and their uniform equipment. Until now, he finally realized this. The team is completely different from the army he has been in contact with in the past, and he realizes why Cecil's rise is a necessity.

He sighed softly: "His Majesty Wales... It seems that this is why you let me stay..."

"Seeing it with our own eyes is very beneficial to those of us who survived by chance." The earl of Baring straightened the bow tie at the neckline as he spoke. The slightly fat earl glanced at the many faces on the platform. , Among these faces, some people bowed their heads in contemplation, some trembled slightly, but no matter who they were, it was inevitable that they carried a trace of awe.

Not far away, the Duke of Baldwin and the Duchess of Victoria were talking, and the Duke of Westland sighed in a low voice: "Only by ensuring food production can large-scale universal education, and only by ensuring basic education and food supply, can industrialization be carried out. The production and training of professional soldiers can only be achieved by ensuring equipment and food supply, and at the same time strictly training and re-education of professional soldiers, which is a complete chain with inseparable links between them.”

The Duchess of the North nodded slightly: "The reason why the New Deal failed at the beginning was because we only copied a few of the rings, and these rings eventually turned into bonsai for self-entertainment, and it was difficult to become a forest..."

Cromwell? Baishan listened to the words coming from behind,

In contemplation, he looked at the square, and on the wide road on the east side, neatly arranged chariots were lining up to enter the arena.

On the edge of the Silver Castle Square, the gathered citizens had eased from their initial consternation. Although they did not understand the significance of this unique "coronation ceremony", the Cecil Corps marched in line. The scene is enough to make these people who lack daily entertainment feel full of freshness and surprise.

The soldiers and chariots were formidable and formidable, and on the battlefield they were undoubtedly a terrifying division that could frighten the enemy, but this army was not the enemy here—a subtle thrill stirred the crowds in the square. people, let them discuss with uncontrollable eagerness, and finally burst into cheers.

And among the cheering and commotional crowd, in the small open space isolated by the soldiers, a group of technicians wearing short robes of the magician were manipulating several mechanical devices. The optical crystal was calibrated and pointed in the direction of Silver Fort. The young man in the dress explained excitedly next to the machine: "...This is the scene of Saint Sunil, the steel ambassador phalanx is being inspected by His Majesty... There are cheers from all directions, Miss Witch, did you hear— - There's cheering everywhere!"

Just as the young man finished speaking, another shout suddenly came from the east side of the square, and along with the shout, there was a continuous stream of holy light that spread out like a cloud.

Wearing heavy armor, armed with warhammers and iron-shell prayer books, the white knights chapter with heavy and powerful feet entered the square.

The surging holy light reverberated inside this team. Although the number of people was the smallest, the power and presence of this battle group were almost the strongest among all teams at present. Following the White Knights, there were others who were also attacked. The original Holy See knights and nuns shrouded in holy light...

People continue to cheer and talk. Ordinary people often don't see how much symbolic meaning is hidden on a ritualized stage. They just feel that this scene is novel and spectacular. However, on the viewing platform of the castle not far away, the atmosphere is different. Instantly calm down.

The nobles looked at each other for a while, and the knights and business representatives looked at the area where the church personnel gathered, but saw that the priests in the robes of the priests were just standing there quietly, expressionless and calm. Watch it all happen.

Among the priests, Veronica, who was holding a platinum scepter, showed a slight smile and said softly, "Now, the army of the gods is going to be inspected by the emperor."

In a room in a tower of Silver Castle, a veiled Melita Purnia stood in front of the window, watching the scene on the square through the crystal glass, when the knights and nuns representing the church forces entered the venue , the humanoid dragon smiled lightly and returned to the table.

There is a stack of manuscripts on the table. The manuscript has been turned to the last page. On the tough enchanted parchment, there is only one sentence:

To sum up, even if the road is difficult, our success is inevitable, which is determined by the laws of history...

The agent lady blinked, and she muttered to herself in a low voice from under the veil: "This thing... I can't make an offer."

In the square, due to the small number of troops in the new empire, this "parade" did not last long. In the end, all the phalanxes completed the review. After the religious battle group left the field as the last troop, the first magic energy battle appeared. The corps returned to the open space in front of the drawbridge according to the predetermined procedure, and quickly changed teams in response to the commander's voice, lined up in three lines, facing the crowd outside the square.

It was only at this moment that Gawain finally moved, he held the hilt of the sword with one hand, raised the other hand slightly, and his voice resounded all around: "Everyone has—

"Raise your sword, light up the blade—

"Salute to the citizens of the Empire!"

The previous cheers and noise disappeared in an instant, and after a moment of silence, an expected commotion spread among the crowd. When the imperial soldiers really raised their swords to salute, almost everyone was subconsciously in fear and at a loss. After taking a half step back, people began to look at each other, looking at the scene in front of them in confusion.

They couldn't understand the scene.

Gawain knew that this was an inevitable situation, but he just wanted to leave this scene to history.

Before the commotion continued, the large-scale holographic projection device set up in front of the Silver Fort was activated.

Accompanied by the low-pitched magic buzzing, huge light curtains rose from the ground, appearing like a clock tower out of thin air. The crowd in the square was shocked for a moment, they quieted down, and then widened their eyes, staring at the holographic projection. presented scene.

The Sorcerer Legion set off from the rock fortress, set foot on the Holy Spirit Plain, and went all the way north.

Cities and villages have been devastated by dwarf hordes, desolate ruins are strewn with corpses, and hideous monsters roam the battlefield.

Soldiers fought bravely, the ground turned to scorched earth, cities were recaptured, and the remaining refugees were sent to the rear by transport teams.

Armored trains opened fire on the tracks, and artillery fire on the steel defense lines set up between the mountains and mountains rang out. The defense lines were continuously breached and counterattacks continued.

These pictures have been selected, and the parts that may cause panic have been skipped, but even so, the crowd in the square is still commotion again and again, and some people even want to escape in fear: the shock brought by the holographic projection is huge. , even more so for these ordinary people who have just experienced the battle of San Sunil.

But in the end, the crowd maintained order—because it wasn't that people didn't see holograms. Magic is everywhere in this world. Even if civilians can’t grasp it, at least they have seen it. They realized from the beginning that this is an image recorded by magic. After experiencing the initial tension, they calmed down and started Looking at the shocking scene.

Outside of Saint-Sunil, where they couldn't see, the war was so brutal.

In the end, all the video materials came to an end, and Gawain's full-length portrait appeared in a huge projection.

"People, all who live in this land, whether you are slaves or freemen, merchants or farmers, soldiers or generals, commoners or nobles, no matter who you are, no matter where you are now— —

"Your emperor is addressing you now.

"This country has gone through severe challenges and trials, and all of us, have just survived a catastrophe - the enemy has tried to bring us down, with plague, monsters, war, and even stolen divine power, but In the end, we still survived.

"We won.

"But any victory is temporary.

"Difficulties and challenges will always exist, or war, or starvation, or plague, or other natural and man-made disasters. In this world, we have no way to avoid it, we can only resist head-on, because survival is our first priority. elements.

"In order to survive, to face the challenges of this world, to the people and things that try to kill us, try to destroy us, I stand here now and declare to you - a new nation will be in the ashes built on the land of rebirth.

"The Cecil Empire will be the sanctuary for all in this land, the glorious citizens of the Empire, the citizens of the future, each of you belongs to it, and it will belong to each of you - we will With diligence and wisdom, rebuild its ruins, sweep away its filth, and it will be strong for each of you, and it will be glorious for each of you.

"We will defeat hunger, defeat the plague, defeat ignorance and ignorance, we will be well-fed and safe, and no matter how long the day takes, we will surely make it come.

"I am your emperor, Gawain? Cecil, and I promise you that everything I say here today will serve as the cornerstone of the Cecil Empire and will be valid forever."

The holographic projection gradually dissipated.

The cheers were a few seconds late, and people seemed to be still thinking about His Majesty's exciting words, but the cheers finally sounded, resounding throughout the city of Saint-Sunil.

On the viewing platform of Silver Castle, Rebecca, who was wearing a long court dress, stared at all of this with wide eyes. She was so excited that she wanted to raise her hand several times, but hesitantly looked at Heidi, who was dressed in a dress beside her. Aunt, put your hands away again.

The attendants nearby didn't know what Her Royal Highness wanted to do, and they all seemed a little helpless. Finally, Heidi turned her head slightly and whispered in a voice that only Rebecca could hear:

"Today was an exception.

"Let's make a big one - as a remembrance of a historic moment."

When the fireball, which was almost the size of a magic chariot, flew out of the Silver Castle, and when the sky burst open, the sound of gun salutes also came from the east and west sides of the square at the same time.

The viewing car began to turn, preparing to return to the castle courtyard. Gawain let out a light breath and looked up at the sky.

His nerves relaxed a little, and he couldn't help but think of a question——

A few years later, "What is the diameter of the fireball set by the imperial princess Rebecca? Cecil at the founding ceremony, and what does it symbolize?" Will it become an abhorrent historical question?

The ceremony is still going on, and the follow-up ceremonial process and closing projects will continue until around sunset, but Gawain, the new emperor of the empire, has basically finished what he has to do. Before the dinner starts, he can go back to the castle to rest.

When he returned to the room, he was not surprised to see Melita Purnia who had already been waiting here.

"Congratulations, Gawain?? Your Majesty Cecil," the lady agent smiled and said congratulatory words, "The Age of Empires has begun."
