Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There are a total of twenty or thirty squares in Wanglin City, large and small. The largest of them is undoubtedly King's Square, where the statue of William the Great is placed. However, this time Xia Zuo's knighting ceremony was held in the more ordinary Yingling Square, which is slightly smaller.  It looks a bit old, and the stones, walls, and fences also exude a sense of history. It is one of the earliest buildings in Wang Lincheng. It already existed when Wang Lincheng was just a small castle. It can be said: it  Truly witnessed the development and changes of Wang Lincheng.

    There are not too many decorations in the square, but in the center of the square, there is a four-meter-long stone sculpture of the Heroic Spirit. The stone sculpture is full of cracks, but when it stands in the square, it still reveals a desolate and ancient flavor.  , with the light shining on the square, a large number of figures gathered in the square, directly surrounding the square. Some figures stood on the fence of the square early, but the demon soldiers guarded the entrance and exit of the square early to avoid crowding and chaos.  picture.

    As the bells in the square reverberated, alarm bells in various squares rang. 'Wang Lin' woke up from his deep sleep as the bells echoed. A group of figures appeared at the end of the road. As the figures walked by, countless shouts,  The cheers rolled and spread like a tide.

    The little ghosts were running quickly along both sides of the street. Women kept waving silk handkerchiefs towards them. Men were slapping their hands in the crowd. The balconies on the street were already full of figures. As the knights walked by, the city  Throw large strands of petals from it

    Xia Zuo, carrying the knight behind him, walked into the spacious and dense Plaza of the Heroes. There was a seat placed in front of the stone statue.  Emperor William did not appear, there was only an empty crown placed on the chair, and an old nobleman wearing luxurious clothes and a snow-white beard comparable to Borot's, holding a thick leather code in his hand, stood to the right of the stone sculpture.

    In front of the old noble, there were dozens of nobles sitting respectively. Among the demons, Xia Zuo saw several familiar figures, such as Earl Bolin who followed Sauron as Xia Zuo approached.  Earl Bolin stared at the other party fiercely.

    Xia Zuo didn't pay attention to their actions, passed directly through the demon soldiers stationed on both sides, and strode to the old noble.

    As the alarm bells stopped, the cheers gradually subsided, and the space returned to silence. Under the gaze of the heroic spirits, it became somewhat solemn and solemn. In this atmosphere, the ceremony progressed slowly

    The old nobleman stood on the stone steps.  He praised Xia Zuo a few words without any pain, and finally held the code in his hand.  A series of decrees were read out, which are what nobles should abide by. Among these decrees, Xia Zuo, a knight from the Western Continent, was obviously given a lot of grace:

    "The great Holy Cross Knight from the Western Continent, are you willing to inherit the glory of the kingdom, abide by the oath before the crown and the Holy Spirit, and fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a nobleman. Follow all honors and honors?"

    Scenes of scenes flashed through his mind quickly, and the faces turned into deathly silence before his eyes. Xia Zuo felt an unknown tremor. This tremor rippled out from deep in his heart, and then passed to his muscles, making his body feel a little  Freeze and take a deep breath.  Suppressing the strangeness in my mind, "I swear: I will protect all glory and goodness!"

    Sitting among the nobles, there is a master of ceremonies wearing a black dress and a gauze mask on his face.  He frowned.

    The old noble glanced at Xia Zuo, with helplessness flashing in his eyes. The conditions they gave him were already loose enough, but the other party still didn't agree. But the ceremony was now, naturally it wouldn't be interrupted just because of a few words.  "In the name of Emperor William, under the witness of Marquis Lane and everyone else, the great Knight Xia Zuo officially becomes the territorial marquis of the kingdom!"

    Marquis!  ?

    Hearing this title, the atmosphere in the scene suddenly paused. Everyone thought that Xia Zuo was about to inherit the title of Duke of Sauron. However, they did not expect that he would only be called Marquis. Although the title was just a false title, as a duke he could definitely be regarded as a duke.  This is a symbol of power, whether it is a royal earl with real power or a palace duke with only the title: as a duke, whenever something unexpected happens to the king, he has the right to temporarily take power.

    Ignoring other people's gazes, the ceremony continued. The old nobleman closed the code in his hand. A servant came up with a basin of water. The old nobleman stained some water and sprinkled it on Xia Zuo's head. This is called: holy water.  baptism!

    After receiving the title and being baptized, the main event came, dividing the territory.

    "Stone Castle, Silinburg, Dornburg"

    As the castles that originally belonged to Sauron were transferred to Xia Zuo's name, the breathing sound in the space became different. Just when everyone thought that Xia Zuo was about to inherit all Sauron's territories and become the third castle.  When Zoro was two, his voice suddenly paused, "All territories to the east and west will be returned toTo the Marquis of Xiazuo!  "

    To the west of the east?  That leaves more than just barren desert.

    The demons looked at each other, but they couldn't hide the joy in their eyes, because Xia Zuo's territory lacked the most important city: Ellis City!

    The land in Sauron's territory is relatively barren compared to the river bends and valley bottoms. Although it has been cleared, there is very little food that can be grown, mainly sugar cane and wheat. As an economic fortress, Ellis City can be regarded as  The most important transportation and economic center in the east lacks this hub, and it is simply impossible to develop it.

    Before anyone else could react, another servant held a long box, walked to the bottom of the stairs, and opened the box. Inside was a scepter engraved with a tiger-shaped emblem. After getting this scepter, Xia Zuo had the territory.  The highest authority!

    Rubbing the stripes on the scepter, facing those pairs of eyes, an unprecedented strength accumulated in his body. Xia Zuo took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and threw the scepter directly to Thorne.  , just as he was about to leave the square, several attendants stopped Xia Zuo, saying that Emperor William had summoned him.

    Xia Zuo rode a carriage and left the Plaza of the Heroes amidst cheers. The knighting ceremony was considered over

    The first time Xia Zuo met Emperor William, it was at a restaurant. The two of them did nothing but eat.  There was no conversation. When they met for the second time, Xia Zuo was in the palace garden where flowers were planted and connected to the forest: William was dressed in luxurious silk and satin, walking slowly on the gravel road covered with flowers,  Xia Zuo followed him calmly.

    "Sauron now has 10,000 demon soldiers and 100,000 soldiers. The uncle Baron (Earl, Viscount, Baron, Sir) has about 500 people. I entrust these troops to you to assist the alien invasion!" William said slowly  With.  Xia Zuo shook his head directly and said: "Not enough!"

    Emperor William laughed, but did not look back, "I will draw 5,000 demon soldiers and 50,000 soldiers from Wanglin City to give you. This is the maximum force I can give you. As for other territories,  I have also sent a letter. But until now, there has been no news.¡±

    Xia Zuo frowned.  There was a bit of anger in his eyes, "They dare to disobey your orders?"

    "I don't dare!" William's tone was very sure, but then his tone changed again, "But I don't know whether they have received my order?"

    William¡¯s words were very vague, but Xia Zuo already understood the meaning of his words and couldn¡¯t help but curse.  "These scheming dogs?"

    William was not angry, and chuckled, "Our army is just like your knights. If one is missing, there will be one. If it is not the most critical moment, no one will be willing to send out soldiers."

    "The most critical moment!? Do you have to wait until our country is destroyed and the aliens attack you before you can gather together?" Xia Zuo's tone was already a little angry, and with his strong spiritual will, he would not treat anyone  , anything creates fear and fear.  Even if the target is William the Great, his tone of voice is always scolding when necessary, without any respect or humility.

    "Absolutely!" William's demeanor and tone were very easy-going, and he did not show the slightest anger because of Xia Zuo's rudeness. He seemed much more gentlemanly than the average old gentleman, but if he hadn't witnessed his attitude towards Suo Zuo with his own eyes,  When Long did everything, no one would have thought that this man who looked gentle on the outside was actually a ferocious and terrifying monster on the inside.

    Xia Zuo couldn't help but gasp a few times before he calmed down, "Then what should we do now?"

    "It's up to you to think about this problem yourself!" William pushed the matter away completely.

    Xia Zuo didn't care whether he could see it or not, and just rolled his eyes at him, "Then when will I see your army?"

    "My order was issued a few days ago. If you want to see it, you can see it tomorrow!" Behind the flowers planted, there is a jungle. William's steps did not stop, and Xia Zuo followed him.  While walking, I discovered that the back garden of the palace was actually so big.

    "Since they don't believe me, why do you believe me and send soldiers for reinforcements." Xia Zuo asked a question that had long existed in his heart.

    "The facts are in front of Bai. Even if I don't believe it, I still have to believe it."

    "Fact!? What fact?"

    William¡¯s footsteps paused, turned his head, and looked at him strangely, ¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡±

    "What do you know?" Xia Zuo sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.

    William gave him a strange look, "The alien race officially launched a war, youThe army's defense line has been breached, and Winter City has been occupied by aliens.  "

    Xia Zuo's expression froze on his face, and his eyes suddenly widened at this moment, but they shrank again. Every word William said was like a thunderbolt, bombarding his consciousness, "  What, when did it happen?¡±

    "Five days ago!" Compared to Xia Zuolai, William was also very confused at this time. How could there be no contact between them after they were sent to such a distant location?

    William didn't know that Holy Cross sent Xia Zuo to the Eastern Continent without any hope for him. In addition, the distance was long and communication was very inconvenient. In the process, the only remaining communication tools were almost lost or missing, so that  Now we have completely lost contact.

    After knowing the news, Xia Zuo was greatly shocked, making Xia Zuo wish he could leave the Eastern Continent immediately and return to the Western Continent

    The two of them were still walking forward, but the atmosphere in the space was obviously quite depressing. Xia Zuo was already immersed in his own world, and even several figures in dresses saluted them without paying attention.

    After a while, I took a deep breath.  Suppressing the shock in his heart, after experiencing so much, Xia Zuo has grown a lot now. He knows that things are not useful if you rush them. On the contrary, the more you rush, the worse things will become.

    "How is the strength of the alien race?" Xia Zuo asked in a slightly deep voice.

    William's steps slowly stopped, he stretched his body slightly, and took a deep breath. Xia Zuo felt as if the air in the entire space was about to be evacuated by him, as he breathed out.  The flowers, plants and trees in the space were shaking loudly, "They have not launched many wars, but with every attack, they can easily break through you and have secretly deployed a defense line for many days. What do you think of their strength?"  "

    Xia Zuo's heart twitched slightly, and he looked in his direction, slowly passing through the thorns.  I saw a snow-white manor standing behind the jungle.  Xia Zuo didn't care whether the manor lived in a princess or a monster.

    Just as he was about to ask about the casualties on the mainland, William interrupted: "You have asked me so many questions, and now it is my turn to ask you one: Why did you start a war?"

    Xia Zuo's expression showed no signs of stagnation or thought, "Because I am a knight and have my own glory and justice!"

    "So you are abandoning other people's lives for these illusory things." William turned around, his tone was very calm, making it impossible to hear the sarcasm in it.  Or ridicule.

    "I have never said that." Xia Zuo looked directly at William, without much humility in his tone.

    William withdrew his gaze without much emotion on his face, "If that's the case, why do you want to accept my award?"

    "Who would refuse what Bai wants!" Xia Zuo's answer was very direct and plain, as if echoing a fool's question, "Okay. Now it's my turn to ask, how much can I borrow from the Eastern Continent?  Soldier?"

    "You should ask yourself this question!" William responded to Xia Zuo in the same tone, and then walked into the forest again.

    Xia Zuo heard the meaning behind his words.  What he meant by this was that there was no limit to the number of people he could borrow, no matter how much he could borrow.

    Watching his retreating figure, Xia Zuo quickly followed him. With the use of mind-reading skills, Xia Zuo, who became more and more understanding of psychology, couldn't help but ask, "Are you really just sending out soldiers for this purpose?"  To resist alien races, or for other purposes?¡±

    William did not answer, but asked, "What do you think?"

    "This is my problem!" Xia Zuo couldn't help but defend.

    "That's my answer." William said sophistically, without any pause in his steps.

    Xia Zuo cursed in a low voice, and then followed. This time, it was William's turn to ask, "Didn't the "Prohibition of Magic Order" have been issued more than two hundred years ago? As a knight, why do you know magic?"

    "This is not magic, this is a gift given to me by the dragon." Xia Zuo explained, as if he was afraid that the other party would 'misunderstand'.

    William snorted coldly from the front, "Your explanation can only deceive those ignorant fools."

    Xia Zuo shrugged, and during the conversation, he gradually forgot the troublesome facts before, "According to your calculations, how long will it take for this battle to end?"

    "If you haven't returned to the Western Continent within half a year, you will never have to go back again!" William's words gradually became colder and meaner, as if Xia Zuo was irritated.

    "Half a year!?" The tight time made Xia ZuoMy heart, which had been slightly relieved, picked up again.

    ¡°There will be a banquet tonight, don¡¯t forget to attend on time!¡± Unknowingly, William walked through the woods and walked to the grass in front of the manor.

    Xia Zuo shook his head, "I have no interest in attending such a banquet?"

    "It's up to you whether you want to participate or not? However, although my order has been issued, I don't know whether they will obey my order or not." William threatened, and slowly explained: "These demons  Bingke all believe in their family emblem, if you offend them, what benefits can you get without seeing it?"

    To be honest, Xia Zuo doesn't like to deal with those cunning people, but since he said so, Xia Zuo can only choose to obey.

    Unconsciously, the two figures walked to the front of the manor. William had no intention of inviting him in, and directly asked Xia Zuo to leave.

    Before leaving, he said to Xia Zuo, "I don't care what you think in your heart, at least in terms of tone, you should respect me!"

    Just when Xia Zuo was thinking about the meaning of this sentence, there was a slight movement in the space. The power of the moonlight filled William's surface, and his figure was like a flashing light, rushing towards Xia Zuo. The two were already close to each other, so they suddenly attacked,  It was even more difficult to guard against, but in this short gap, Xia Zuo's fighting instinct came into play, and the power of purgatory exploded immediately, and his fist swung directly towards the flying figure.

    Before the attack could reach his figure, he suddenly received a blow on his stomach. A powerful force hit his stomach, and his whole figure stepped back

    There was no physical damage, but the pain was so abnormal that Xia Zuo couldn't help grinning and staring at William's figure angrily.

    On the contrary, William looked relaxed and didn't care about the anger in his eyes. He breathed out comfortably. The anger aroused by Xia Zuo calmed down and he turned around and walked into the manor.

    Looking at the back of him leaving, Xia Zuo made a strong sound, then stretched out his middle finger and made a gesture. Then he turned around and saw the lush jungle behind him, and he couldn't help but wonder: How did he do it?  Came here?
