Chapter 204, Demonstration of the Empire

"Pfft~" Ryan couldn't help laughing, and the Holy Grail Knight covered his face with one hand, and couldn't help laughing all the time.

"Actually, even if His Majesty the King appoints him as the heir, His Royal Highness Mogiana probably won't agree. First of all, he is too old, God knows how long he can stay on the throne, and then his strength is not good, the strength of the elite middle class It was really unconvincing, and finally...Charles is a guy who likes violence and flatters his servants. He likes to use a sledgehammer and swing it around in the battlefield. He often misses the enemy and wounds his horse. "Francois said helplessly: "Of course, he is still a qualified knight, at least when he was young."

"That's why the knights in the kingdom gave him the nickname Sledgehammer, so he was also called Sledgehammer Charles or Cha Sledgehammer." Julius couldn't help laughing, he covered his mouth: "I suddenly Come to think of it, your original nickname was Sledgehammer... Haha!"

"...I am Ryan the Devout now." The God's Chosen Champion said helplessly.

"Hehe, that's true."

The three of them waited for a long time until Suria and Silvia completed the registration and got their number plates.

At this moment, a lake god prophet rode a white horse from far to near, and there were several kingdom knights following her: "Your Excellency Ryan? Your Excellency François? You are here."

This is a very beautiful girl, with golden hair tied only with flowers, wearing a blue dress and holding a white unicorn staff in her hand.

Ryan took a step back and motioned for the Duke to answer.

Francois felt very comfortable seeing Ryan's understanding. As the champion of the fairies in the lake, he might not need to be so polite, but he would never be wrong to be polite and full of etiquette: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Tomorrow, Her Majesty Mogiana and His Majesty Richard will officially receive the imperial mission at the Korona Palace. His Majesty the King hopes that all the counts and nobles above the count in Korona will receive the imperial mission together in the Korona Palace. The Prophet of the Lake God first said to Francois, and after Francois expressed that he understood, he said to Ryan: "Her Highness Morgiana asked His Excellency Ryan to attend this meeting by name."

"...I see, please reply to Her Highness Morgiana, I will definitely go." From the bottom of his heart, Ryan did not want to participate in this meeting, because his identity was actually a bit embarrassing.

But whether it was from his adoptive father Norman or his godfather Ivan, what Ryan learned was not to escape. Since the Lake God and Witch asked him to participate by name, he did not intend to avoid it.

"Also, His Highness Morgiana asked why you didn't go to live in the Holy Grail Cathedral.

"The Prophet of the Lake God continued, her beautiful face was serious with business affairs, she didn't seem to be joking or asking Ryan's wishes at all: "Your Excellency Ryan, you are the lady's chosen champion, you should go to the Holy Grail Cathedral Residence, Her Majesty Morgiana has prepared a room for you. "

Ryan had no choice but to go back to Francois' mansion to pack some of his own things, then handed Emilia to Suria's care, and lived in the Holy Grail Cathedral by himself.

…………

On the second day, the palace hall of the Royal Palace of Korona, at the south end of the resplendent hall, there are golden thrones and canopies, and the upper walls of the hall are decorated with stained glass and six murals reflecting religious implication, knight style and legal significance .

King Richard of Brittania will receive ambassadors and missions from the Empire here.

The king himself wears a golden iris crown, a black and red striped silk dress, and a large cloak. The exquisite knight embroidery pattern and long hem need three attendants to hold at the same time, all kinds of gold, silver and precious stones Jewelry hung all over his body, and he sat on a gold chair with a two-meter-high back, waiting for the imperial ambassador to see him.

The witch of the lake, Morgiana, is sitting not far from Richard's left. She also wears a golden laurel crown on her head. Today's witch of the lake is wearing a pansy ribbed knit dress. Her beautiful face It's all cold.

The dual politics of the country are on full display here.

At the same time, the great nobles who are currently staying in the capital gathered together. On the left side of the long throne room, the great nobles from the Knight Kingdom were full, leaving a large amount of vacant space on the right and a prominent position for the imperial mission. them.

Ryan also walked into the throne room. He had no problem participating in the meeting as a Holy Grail Knight. Many nobles just glanced at him and didn't say anything more. Some nobles even greeted him, and the younger nobles were Looking at him with jealous eyes.

"Lian Malcador, please come here and sit next to me." When Morgana saw Ryan appearing, the coldness on her face melted, and she motioned for Ryan to sit next to her, so the attendants moved a long sheet of paper. The chair was placed beside Morgiana, and Ryan sat down as promised: "I am a little late, my lord."

"No, the time is just right." Morgiana set her sights on the main entrance of the throne room.

"The Imperial Ambassador, the Grand Duke of Middenland, the Grand Earl of Wolfsburg, the Grand Baron of Middenheim, the Guardian of the White Wolf City, the General of the Drakewald Patrol Battalion, and the Ulric Swordsman Group Chief, the convener of the Urik Warriors, the sympathizer of the Wolf Pack Order, the loyal follower of the White Wolf Urik, the chief guardian of the White Wolf Temple, the guardian of the Cheetah Knights, the lord of the White Wolf Knights, Admirers of the Ulrich Godfire, recipient of the Thuringians, Elector Boris Todbringer of Wollrich, and his White Wolf Knights and Cheetah Knights, all of you!" The courtier read out the long The long list of titles made Ryan a little dizzy.

Then, the imperial mission went straight in, and Boris Todbringer read out the letter of credence brought by Emperor Karl Franz. In general, the empire recognized the equal status with Britannia and hoped that Further deepen the covenant, strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two countries, promote business cooperation, and avoid tariff fortresses. The empire hopes to work with Britannia to expel chaos and evil, eliminate green-skinned vampires and other destructive forces, and contribute to the long-term stability and prosperity of mankind. contribute.

Knight King Richard fully affirmed the kindness and spirit of the emperor Karl Franz. When it came to deep love, Richard said seriously that the people of the two countries were one body more than a thousand years ago. Since ancient times, Brittany There is no distinction between the people of Asia and the empire. We all have a belief that we will fight against darkness in the name of mankind. Under this issue, Britannia is willing to work hand in hand with the empire and cooperate sincerely to protect the future of mankind. work together.

It took more than an hour for a long routine exchange and greetings. Ryan was very calm, and he just whispered to Morgiana: "Boris has no choice but to go on a mission this time. He He was also one of the candidates for the throne of the empire. Since he took over the position of the elector, there have been many rumors in the empire that he has ideas about the throne. Boris had no choice but to choose to be the ambassador in person as the elector. On the one hand, it is to show obedience and loyalty to the current Emperor Karl Franz, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid the limelight."

Morgiana nodded, and at the same time she looked at the large group of white wolf knights opposite with some displeasure: "It's really a group of barbarians. From the front to now, they have been looking at me all the time."

"White wolf knights are like this, my lord, the teaching of the white wolf god of war is...uh." Ryan hesitated to speak, and he suddenly realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

"..." Morgiana seemed to think of something, Bi Se's eyes narrowed, and she didn't say any more.

"If I'm not mistaken, my Highness, the Empire will never allow the entire company of White Wolf Knights and so many Cheetah Knights to go out at the same time... You should be prepared." Ryan continued, and Mogiana said Agreed, and at the same time tapped his green finger on the back of his hand to signal her understanding.

Sure enough, as Ryan expected, not long after the formal topic ended, Boris secretly gestured towards the White Wolf Knights, and his remaining eye was full of cunning.

The White Wolf Knights knew right away that the lives of these followers of Ulric were nothing but battles, wine, and women, and such formal occasions had bored them for a long time.

"I heard that the knights of Britannia are the strongest knights in the old world. I, Becker, are here to ask for advice today! In the name of Urik! Who will accept my challenge?" Immediately there was a man wearing a wolf fur cloak, The young knight in full armor came out and said to Richard.

Immediately, several knights of Richard's family stood up, and they were all young knight-errants without exception: "A knight never refuses glory and challenge, in the name of a lady!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The White Wolf Knights immediately booed loudly, and the Cheetah Knights also cheered loudly, with great momentum.

On the other side, the faces of the nobles in Brittania were ashen. Brittania was originally founded on knights and believed in the fairies of the lake. These wolf cubs came to the throne room provocatively. Glory, they must fight.

"Your Excellency Boris, what does this mean?" Richard's face darkened, and he immediately asked the imperial ambassador Boris, "Does the empire want to start a war?"

"What's the point? The young man wants a duel, isn't His Majesty Richard unwilling?" Boris laughed, and then asked provocatively: "Or don't you dare? No knight in Brittany would dare Are you up for the fight?"

The King of Knights snorted coldly: "This is the throne room, not a place for duels! Sir Boris and the knights of the empire please move to the arena!"

An hour later, the Courona Palace Arena.

The arena in the palace can accommodate about a thousand people and is in a circular shape. The knights and nobles of Brittania are also fully armed, and the white wolf knights and cheetah knights are also ready. The young white who came out to provoke Wolf Knight Becker walked out swaggeringly. He raised his warhammer and pointed at the knights and nobles: "Who is willing to accept my challenge?"

"Hendrick of Connecticut." Immediately, a young knight-errant stood up, holding a sword and shield: "In the name of the lady, I accept your challenge!"

"In the name of Urik!" Becker raised his white wolf hammer.

The two sides agreed to fight on foot, and Boris gave a very good reason: the White Wolf Knights did not have so many elf horses.

Saluting to each other, the agreement was reached, and then the two young men separated. Hendrick from Connecticut held up his shield and long sword, while the young White Wolf Knight held the handle of the hammer tightly with both hands.

Neither of them rushed to attack, as if they were sizing up each other.

The strength of the two young people is about the elite middle level, young and vigorous, but cautious and unwilling to attack easily. In Ryan's view, using a warhammer has an advantage over using a sword and shield, provided that the white The wolf knight is strong enough.

"For Urik!" Becker was the first to attack, and the young white wolf knight rushed towards the equally young Hendrik, like a hungry wolf hunting in winter. Hendrick hits down.

"For the lady!" Hendrick raised his shield vigorously, and the hard hammer hit the shield with a sharp sound, and the huge force from his left arm made the young knight-errant scream uncontrollably, he stepped back a little, scattered The pressure brought by the war hammer, and then the long sword pierced out from behind the shield, and went straight to Becker's ribs.

The White Wolf Knight immediately turned around and dodged, the long sword pierced a hole in Becker's wolf fur cloak, taking advantage of this opportunity, Hendrik turned from stabbing to slashing, and he aimed at the weak armor under Becker's ribs, sharply The sword cut down.

"Clang!" The White Wolf Knight didn't give the knight-errant a chance to attack again. His warhammer immediately left Hendrick's shield. He blocked the cut sword, then raised his iron boots and kicked the Hendrick's soft belly.

Then, just as Hendrick was retreating, Becker immediately held the handle of the warhammer back, and used the weight-bearing ball and the spikes on the ball to go around the shield and directly hit the kite helmet of the Ranger Knight: "Boom!"

"Ah!" The ranger knight rolled his eyes and fell to the ground in response, without a sound, a few strands of red blood hung down his face inside the kite helmet, and he fainted, and his shield and long sword fell to the ground: "This It is a victory for Urik!"

"Yeah yeah yeah!" the white wolf knights and cheetah knights shouted loudly, and Boris raised his arms high: "Only Charlemagne's god - Urick can decide everything, for Urick!"

"For Yurik!"

The knights from the empire roared loudly, and the momentum was overwhelming, while the Britannian nobles on the other side glared at the damned imperial people.

The young white wolf knight was more or less sensible. Hendrick was dragged back by his subordinates. Since he was only knocked out, the ranger knight only needed to be bandaged and rested for a few days.

"Damn wolf cub!" "Little bastard, this is not a fair duel!" Many Britannian nobles gritted their teeth and said that the ranger knights are indeed too weak. To deal with the white wolf knights, they need kingdom knights.

"Who is the next challenger? Are all the followers of the Lady in the Lake like this?" Becker saw that his cheers were not responded to, so he continued to challenge: "Is there no one with a bit more backbone?"

"Shut up! This is Korona, the glory of Britannia does not allow you to act wild! Tolan of Carcassonne, come to learn the skills of the White Wolf Knight!" A kingdom knight stood up.

"Okay, let's continue!"
