On May 5th, when the sun rose, the entire city of Denan could no longer see the war it had experienced. All the ground in the city had been cleaned, and some dilapidated houses in the city had also been renovated.
In the city, Harry family heraldic flags with golden dragons on a black background were hung everywhere. Knights in full armor were constantly shuttling back and forth in the city, maintaining the tranquility of the city.
Today is a special day. His Majesty the Great Emperor Abel is holding a grand celebration today to celebrate his accession to the throne.
Since the past few days, many great nobles have appeared in Denan City. Luxurious carriages with various coats of arms appear on the road from time to time. It seems that all the great nobles in the entire human world have come to Denan City.
On both sides of the Victory Avenue in front of the Royal Palace in Denan City, a large number of residents have appeared since dawn in the morning. They are grabbing the best seats. Today on the Victory Avenue, the great Emperor Abel will show the powerful power of the empire. military strength.
This is also a tradition, something that all new emperors will do after they ascend the throne, but unlike ordinary throne succession, Abel forcibly obtained the imperial power by force, which made the whole world have too much doubts about the military power he controlled. curious.
Not only the current residents of the empire are curious, but also the various principalities and empires. The military strength in Abel's hands has always been known through various intelligence, and now they will finally see it with their own eyes.
On the square at the entrance of the palace, a defensive array was placed in the center of the square. In the defensive array, there was a large wooden temporary viewing platform in the middle covering hundreds of square meters. On both sides of the viewing platform, there were twenty A small viewing platform.
In front of the viewing platform, twenty-one lightning bolts were arranged in a spiral between the viewing platform and Victory Avenue, guarding the viewing platform like a guard.
"Your Majesty, you should change your dress!" Butler Burbage reminded carefully.
He was extremely respectful to Abel in front of him. He could never imagine that in a few years, the young nobleman in front of him would step by step from being the heir of a heraldic knight to the emperor of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, one of the three great empires of mankind. .
Although Abel always believed that he had not changed, in the eyes of Butler Burbage, his power was growing day by day.
"Burbage, it's time, please!" Abel put down the book in his hand and said with a smile.
He stood up and walked to the cloakroom. At this time, the royal tailor of the palace was waiting there. When he saw his arrival, he immediately bowed and saluted.
"Sit down, what clothes have you prepared for me today?" Abel waved his hand to the royal tailor to get down, and then asked.
Not only him, but also Burbage's butler had no say in the emperor's attire. Because neither Abel nor Burbage's butler had relevant experience, Abel did not ask much about the matter and completely handed over the power to the palace. Royal tailor.
"Your Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, has prepared three sets of attires for your celebration. Please choose!" The royal tailor opened a curtain beside him, and three sets of attires were displayed inside.
The royal tailor also took great pains to dress Abel. Because the task Abel gave him did not have clear instructions, and the event was of great significance, he had to design and make three sets of dresses for Abel to choose from.
Abel looked at the three sets of dresses and couldn't help but sigh at their luxury. Regardless of the workmanship of each of the three sets of dresses, the material alone was extremely precious. The various gems and accessories inlaid on them made the dress more beautiful. His worth has greatly increased.
"Just choose this one!" Abel randomly selected a light golden dress. Among the three dresses, only this dress had fewer accessories.
This is because its light golden fabric itself makes most gems and jewelry eclipse.
"Your Majesty, this suit is made of fabric sent by the elves. The material is woven from the hair of the golden lion, a spiritual beast!" The royal tailor introduced while carefully taking off the dress and putting it on for Abel.
During this celebration, basically all well-known organizations, countries, and races in the Holy Continent sent gifts. Even the Orc Empire, which was hostile to humans, also sent gifts through various relationships.
For this reason, Abel, who originally did not send an invitation letter to the Orc Empire, had to send an invitation letter to the Orc Empire.
Abel was wearing a pale golden dress. This dress perfectly outlined his strong figure, and through the careful design of the royal tailor, it amplified his power and made him even more powerful.
"I'm very satisfied!" Abel looked at himself in the crystal mirror, smiled and nodded to the royal tailor.
His affirmation made the Queen's Tailor very excited. You must know that Abel is a new emperor, and the Queen's Tailor's family has been serving the empire for several generations. Whether the family's history can be continued this time depends on Abel. attitude.
When Abel appeared on the viewing platform in a pale golden dress, bursts of cheers rose, and residents on both sides of Victory Avenue cheered for their emperor.
"Why is Grandmaster Abel so afraid of death?" On the viewing platform, a great nobleman from the Kingdom of St. An'ervo said softly and mockingly to the nobles around him.
"Shut up, don't take us with you if you want to die!" A wizard in a robe on the side interrupted the great nobleman rudely. His eyes were fixed on the twenty-one lightning spirals. .
The great noble's mockery just now was full of hostility, and the light ball on the lightning spiral near their viewing platform seemed to be showing signs of activation.
This wizard is not an ignorant nobleman. The terrifying nature of the lightning spiral is widely spread among wizards. He is particularly famous because he has killed an intermediate wizard instantly.
A total of twenty-one lightning spirals, if activated, would affect the entire guest at the small ceremony, not to mention the great noble who spoke.
Of course, the wizard didn't know that Abel placed these twenty-one lightning spirals here, but specifically gave them to the guardian spirits of the palace to manage, so it was impossible to stimulate the lightning element to the guests.
Abel smiled and waved his hands left and right, and then bowed to His Majesty Emperor Aldous of the Kingdom of St. Alvos, who was also at the central viewing platform.
"Welcome, His Majesty the Great Emperor Aldous!"
"Thank you for the invitation, His Majesty the Great Emperor Abel!" His Majesty Emperor Aldous bowed in return.
"His Royal Highness the Duke of Chesterton, welcome!" Abel bowed to the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of St. Peter, the Duke of Chesterton, and said.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor Abel, I congratulate you on behalf of His Majesty Emperor Manfred. It is a great honor to participate in your celebration!" Duke Chesterton also bowed and saluted.
"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Edwina, His Royal Highness the Duke Albert, welcome you!" Abel bowed to the elves who looked like a young man and woman, Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert. road.
"Grandmaster Abel, the elves have sent us here. The elves and you will always maintain peace!" Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Elbert returned the greeting with a smile.
"Dear Master Robin, I am honored to have you come in person!" Abel bowed to Master Robin, the master dwarf blacksmith.
"Grandmaster Abel, this old guy like me is here on behalf of the Blacksmith Guild. After the event is over, I want to see your latest work!" Master Robin replied with a smile.
"Of course!" Abel responded with a smile, and then bowed to the two senior wizards on the side and said, "Welcome these two distinguished wizards to attend the celebration!"
"Grandmaster Abel, we are old friends. On behalf of the Wizards Guild, we congratulate you!" Senior Wizard Lorenzo and Senior Wizard Allenby also bowed and saluted.
"This distinguished priest, I hope your arrival represents the will of peace!" Abel finally bowed to a senior priest in black robes wearing a hood and saluted.
"Grandmaster Abel, the emperor sent me here with friendship. The Orc Empire has been severely damaged. This time I hope to sign a peace contract with the great Kingdom of St. Ellis!" The black-robed senior priest bowed and answered. road.
Abel smiled and did not reply on the spot. This kind of government affairs is not so simple to discuss.
He was also very surprised that the Orc Empire sent a high-level priest to attend his enthronement event.
It was also a helpless move for the Orc Empire to send orc priests. The main reason was the strength of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, or the aerial strength of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
The terrifying attack power of the five sky boats, coupled with more than 200 gryphon knights, gave the Kingdom of St. Ellis an absolute advantage in the air.
The most terrifying thing is the transportation capability of the sky boat. Five sky boats at a time can transport 10,000 knights to any battlefield, which breaks the pattern of war.
The Orc Empire's wall outside the Orc battlefield became a joke in the face of the air power of the St. Ellis Kingdom.
That's why the Orc Empire is so eager to express its goodwill to Abel, even though they also understand the depth of harm Abel has caused to the Orc Empire.
Abel also greeted the senior wizard Dunn, the representatives of the dwarves, and the representatives of the Gough family one by one.
It can be said that on this small viewing platform, representatives of all the powerful forces in the Holy Continent appeared here.
The guests who can stand on this central viewing platform are the most noble ones in the Holy Continent.
As ten trombones blew, the entire viewing platform and the Avenue of Victory fell silent. Amidst the crisp sound of horse hooves, Grand Knight Bodleian, wearing a full body of magic armor, rode on his strong war horse also wearing a vest. Arrive in front of the central viewing platform.
"Your Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, your army is ready and waiting for your review at any time!" The voice of Captain Bodley spread throughout the entire Avenue of Victory with his fighting spirit.
"My General Bodley, it's time to start!" Abel looked at Lord Knight Bodley with a smile and said in a deep voice.
Grand Knight Bodley is now a Duke, leading the empire's knight corps, and is already the most powerful general in the empire.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor Abel ordered that the review begin!" Grand Knight Bodlei bowed on his horse and said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, twenty-one lightning spirals flashed with white electric light, and twenty-one lightning bolts rushed into the sky at the speed of light. The electric light exploded in the air, turning into little stars and scattering and disappearing.
"It's too extravagant. This is a masterpiece of a machine. How can you do this!" Several dwarves whispered softly on the small viewing platform.
In their eyes, this kind of mechanism that can control the power of lightning and inspire powerful lightning element attacks is beyond their imagination. This kind of treasure should be used in a place consistent with its identity, rather than as a Ornamental items.
This is a blasphemy against the art of mechanism. If it weren't for the terrifying power of the lightning spiral in front of them and the fact that their favorite wine was provided by Abel, then they would definitely have a fight on the spot.
Unlike the dwarves, in the eyes of humans, the lightning element, which represents the most terrifying element among wizards, is controlled and inspired. This is a naked show of force.
Of course, this lightning spiral also makes most wizards look bad. This is the power of wizards, and this is a power that most wizards cannot master. However, it is inspired by a mechanism, and one can sense that its power is extremely powerful. , at least among the wizards present, except for a few senior wizards who were confident of dealing with one or two, most of the wizards were afraid of its power.
This is also Abel's purpose. The power of wizards is too powerful, and they should also feel fear. This will facilitate the empire's management of wizards.
"Ouch!" A wolf howl came, causing the expressions of the knights and wizards who had experienced the orc battlefield to tighten up. The knights all put their hands on the hilts of their swords.
After a burst of wolf howling, a squadron of knights with only two hundred people appeared. This squadron of knights did not attract much attention in terms of numbers, but its mounts made this squadron of knights unique.
Because the mounts of the two hundred knights in the entire knight squadron are all wargs, from the wolf tribe of the Orc Empire.
The black-robed high-ranking priest of the Orc Empire stood up in a rare act of impatience, with strong emotions flashing through his eyes under the hood.
This is the pride of the orcs, because wargs are known as the number one mount on land, and although there are a few wargs among humans, they have never appeared in an organized form. This time, the knight squadron of two hundred wargs shows that Saint Ai The Kingdom of Lys has mastered the reproductive power of wargs.
The knight itself has always been limited in its abilities by war horses, and it is not that there are no powerful mounts. It is just that powerful mounts cannot form a scale and cannot form combat effectiveness.
A knight cannot exert his strength alone. The more knights form a knight battle formation together, the more their strength can be doubled.
The appearance of the wargs made the people on both sides of the Avenue of Victory scream at first, and then let out huge cheers. This is the combat power controlled by the empire. The powerful mounts that originally belonged to the wolf clan are no longer unique to the wolf clan, and now the empire also has them. This is the first mount on land.
The heads of the two empires on the central viewing platform had different considerations than others. There was a trace of worry in their eyes. Knights were the foundation of an empire, and the attraction of mounts to knights was fatal.
The ability of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis to breed wargs will attract powerful knights to serve the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, which will make this already powerful empire even more powerful.
The two empire leaders looked at each other and saw their own thoughts in each other's eyes, 'peace contract'. They must sign a peace contract immediately.
Abel looked at the two hundred wargs and felt very dissatisfied, because this squadron of warg knights was established too hastily. In the eyes of others, it was already marching very well, but at this early stage of his life, In the eyes of the dual-series Grand Knight Commander with Black Wind, this knight squadron lacks experience in using wargs and is simply unable to take advantage of the wargs' advantages.
Maybe we need to release this squadron of knights. It just so happens that the human world is constantly at war. Let the war temper this squadron of knights!
In an instant, he decided how to train a squadron of Warg Knights.
When the squadron of Warg Knights passed in front of the central viewing platform, two hundred knights encouraged their fighting spirit and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, is victorious!"
With the roar of the Warg Knight Squadron, the blood of the people on both sides of the Victory Avenue was also boiling. They also shouted: "His Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, is victorious!"
Abel walked to the viewing platform and waved to the Warg Knight Squadron, and at the same time to the residents of Victory Avenue.
After the squadron of Warg Knights passed by, a square formation of sixty knights followed. Experienced people have discovered that the armor on these sixty knights, as well as the knight's sword and shield in their hands, are all magic equipment.
But what is puzzling is that even this is not enough to make it comparable to the Warg Knight Squadron just now.
Just as the phalanx of sixty knights arrived neatly in front of the central viewing platform, the knights shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, is victorious!"
All sixty knights appeared in fiery red or white fighting spirit armor. Although the color was somewhat mottled, no one present said anything.
Because all the sixty knights in front of them were high knights, the sharp-eyed knights present had discovered that most of the high knights had unfamiliar faces.
In this phalanx of sixty Grand Knight Commanders, most of the Grand Knight Commanders were promoted using the 'Dragon Blood Wall-Breaking Potion' refined by Abel. Because they signed a magic contract, they were loyal. He is more loyal than ordinary knight commanders.
The appearance of a total of sixty Grand Knight Commanders greatly surprised the guests present at the ceremony. The number of Grand Knight Commanders determines the heritage of a country.
Regardless of whether it is the Kingdom of St. Paul or the Kingdom of St. Alvo, the number of Grand Knight Commanders in the country will be sixty.
But it was basically impossible for the two empires to organize these great knight captains into a formation for review.
Each Grand Knight Commander has his or her own pride. They are already the pinnacle among knights. How can they form a square formation for people to watch.
This point also exists in the elves and dwarves. Top warriors are proud of it. Generally, it is very impressive to have more than ten top warriors who can be bribed. And through the war call, more can be invited. Some of the top warriors.
But these top warriors are more interested in the rewards, rather than loyalty.
Abel looked at the sixty knight captains with a smile on his face. This was his confidence. Even the mid-level wizards would not want to challenge the battle formation composed of sixty knight captains. Ordinary wizards would not challenge it. It is not easy for senior wizards to break through the battle formation.
The fighting armor of the sixty great knight captains made the people on both sides of the Avenue of Victory go crazy again. For the mystery of wizards, ordinary people were more accepting of the strength of knights.
The Grand Knight Commander is the legendary top knight, and now the empire actually has sixty Grand Knight Commanders. This news immediately excited everyone's nerves.
Then came forty giant hammer warriors following the phalanx of sixty great knights. Each giant hammer warrior was over two meters tall and held a huge siege hammer. They were a special type of soldier.
This team of Giant Hammer warriors were originally ten Giant Hammer warriors sent from the Kingdom of St. Paul. After taking over the Kingdom of St. Alice, they discovered that there were thirty Giant Hammer warriors in the empire. These Giant Hammer warriors formed the The current squad of Hammer Warriors.
The giant hammer warriors are just a guard of honor. This kind of warriors that consume a lot of money and are difficult to train will basically not appear on the battlefield.
But the appearance of the giant hammer warrior team made the people on both sides of Victory Avenue even more enthusiastic. With a height of two meters and two, and the oppressive feeling of the huge siege hammer in hand, the people seemed to see a terrifying war machine.
These people don't know that these giant hammer warriors are just fake.
"Your Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, is victorious!" Although the number of Giant Hammer warriors was smaller, their roars were still loud and loud, because this was part of their training.
The guests on the auditorium had an extraordinary experience. What they saw more was the number of Giant Hammer warriors. The number of forty people already reflected that the Kingdom of St. Ellis was already at a true imperial level in terms of etiquette.
Or perhaps because Abel's war against the Kingdom of St. Ellis ended too quickly, almost without consuming the Kingdom of St. Ellis's national power, the empire was completely preserved and accepted by Abel.
After the giant hammer warriors, a total of five thousand knights of advanced levels and above, wearing magic armor, holding magic knight swords and magic shields, appeared on the Avenue of Victory.
Five thousand knights of senior level and above formed a knight battle formation and marched forward with incomparable momentum. Different from the small-scale knight phalanx just now, the five thousand knight battle formation in front of them was a real battle formation.
Its momentum becomes stronger as it moves forward.
Walking to the central viewing platform, five thousand knights shouted loudly: "His Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, is victorious!"
Abel smiled and greeted his legion of knights who had spent a lot of effort. Every knight here received a set of magic equipment because they signed a magic contract.
You must know that if he did not have the time difference in the dark world, the blacksmith artifact 'Hradik Malus', and the ability of a blacksmith master, even a dwarf blacksmith master with so many magical equipment would not be able to complete so many works in his lifetime.
"I read that right, these are all magic equipment!" Unlike the ordinary people on Victory Avenue, what the guests on the viewing platform saw was the real focus, and some guests were already whispering in disbelief.
"These are the works of Grandmaster Abel!" A master dwarf blacksmith said solemnly with a gleam in his eyes.
As a master blacksmith, his vision will not be doubted. With a total of five thousand sets of magic knight suits made by master blacksmith Abel, the strength of this knight army can be at least doubled.
"What a big deal! What a big deal!" His Majesty Emperor Aldous felt like he was a poor boy for a moment.
"Yes, only His Majesty Emperor Abel can come up with these magical equipment!" Duke Chesterton nodded and said with some envy.
They all knew that even if they spent all the treasury, they would not be able to buy a full five thousand sets of Magic Knight equipment, let alone five thousand sets of Magic Knight equipment forged by Grandmaster Abel.
Because even if there is enough wealth, where can one buy five thousand sets of magic knight equipment in the Holy Continent? The dwarves can only compare with this unless they take out all the wealth in the warehouse and all the accumulation of thousands. .
"Grandmaster Abel, your forging level has improved again!" Master Robin could clearly see that his forging level was already very close to that of a grand master, he said with emotion.
Of course, when Abel was using Horadric Malus, he could forge a rough piece of iron into fine iron with just one blow, and the subsequent forging was even easier because of the ability of the fragments of the World Stone. That's why there are so many magic equipments.
Abel smiled and did not answer. He knew that he had revealed too much today, but for the sake of the peace of the empire in the future, he needed to show a strength that was so powerful that others would be afraid, so that the nobles within the empire could be sincerely loyal to him. Only then can forces outside the empire dare not take a peek at the empire.
It took a long time for the five thousand knights to pass through the central viewing platform, but no one allowed their eyes to rest for a moment. It would be extraordinary to see such a scene once in a lifetime.
After the figure of the last knight in the battle of five thousand knights passed the viewing platform, the ground trembled.
A neatly organized battle formation of small war puppets appeared in front of everyone. This was a battle formation composed of 500 small war puppets. Each of the small war puppets held a powerful city crossbow in their hands. .
All the guests on the central auditorium stood up, even the dwarf master Robin also stood up.
Small war puppets are the work of dwarves, but the dwarves cannot let them escape the control of spirits. Under normal circumstances, to use these small war puppets, you need to be in a magic circle controlled by spirits. If you leave the magic circle, the spirits cannot control it. Small war puppet.
Or each dwarf can control a small war puppet, but that will greatly reduce the survivability of the small war puppet on the battlefield, because once the dwarf controlling it dies, the small war puppet can no longer move.
But the small war puppet in front of him was marching on the Avenue of Victory. At least for a few miles before and after, it was impossible to be in the magic circle. There could only be one reason. Abel had a device that could remotely control the small war puppet. spirit.
"Abel never told me!" Bernie murmured to himself on the small auditorium.
Due to his status, he could not appear on the central viewing platform, so Abel arranged for him to be placed on the nearest small viewing platform.
When he saw the five hundred small war puppets being manipulated, Bernie was more surprised than anyone else, because he sold these small war puppets to Abel, who used to use them as defense in the magic circle.
But the appearance of the small war puppets in front of them shows that these small war puppets can completely break away from the magic circle and appear on the battlefield.
On the central viewing platform, the high-ranking priest in black robes had a bad expression hidden in his hood, because from what he learned, Abel used this kind of puppet to cause the Orc Empire to suffer heavy losses in that war.
"Invincible!" The same word appeared in the minds of His Majesty Emperor Aldous of the Kingdom of St. Alva and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of St. Paul, Duke Chesterton.
How to defend against such a puppet and how to deal with it
It can only be described as invincible on the battlefield. How many wizards are needed to fight these puppets with wizards? These puppets can be made, but wizards are difficult to cultivate.
Although the five hundred small war puppets could not make a sound, they also faced Abel while marching, and at the same time bowed slightly to show respect for Abel.
In fact, these five hundred small war puppets are all under the control of Abel himself. He controls these five hundred small war puppets through the War Commanding Spirit. With the terrifying ten-mile control range of the War Commanding Spirit, a review on the Avenue of Victory is enough. .
The people on Victory Avenue went crazy again. This four-meter-tall steel monster and the powerful continuous crossbow in its hands gave everyone present a sense of oppression far greater than other armies.
No matter how powerful the army was before, they were all made of flesh and blood, but now what appeared before them was a body of steel.
You can imagine how desperate your opponent will be when facing such an enemy.
"Your Majesty, the great Emperor Abel, is victorious!" Although the small war puppet could not speak, the people on both sides of the Victory Avenue roared loudly.
A strong sense of pride arose in the hearts of the people of the Kingdom of St. Ellis. With such a powerful military force, who could be the enemy of the empire, and who dared to be the enemy of the empire.
