When the 10,000 guards quickly marched to the right side of the central square, they were discovered by the rebel outpost hundreds of meters away. When the report came up, the First Prince's face turned pale!
The 10,000 guards charged into the square, and immediately formed an overall siege against the First Prince's rebels.
In the central square, there is the Holy Knights on the left and the Garrison on the right. More importantly, the 10,000 guards suddenly came to the front of the palace to serve the king, at least in terms of the number of troops, they reversed the disadvantage of the royalists in one fell swoop.
Naturally, the First Prince was racking his brains and couldn't figure out why these guards, which had been firmly controlled, would suddenly appear here. And he is sure that the people he sent to do this are all his confidants who he absolutely trusts, and they are all direct descendants who have been under him for many years...
Earl Raymond had already let out a long sigh, looking at Prince Chen who was far above the city wall, this important military minister lost all confidence in his heart, suddenly looked back at Alpha's chief guard, and said in a low voice: "Alpha, we have lost. "
After speaking, Earl Raymond came to the eldest prince. Glancing at the ashen-faced eldest prince, a trace of disdain arose in his heart. He straightened his body and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, concentrate all your strength now. Immediately attack the guards, crush them, and then... leave the city, there is still a chance to come back and rally!"
The eldest prince's eyes were empty, and he didn't seem to hear Earl Raymond's words. He just nodded blankly, but suddenly his eyes changed, becoming full of anger, and suddenly shouted: "Impossible! I don't believe it! How could I lose? !"
finished. He shouted loudly: "I still have a thousand elite cavalry! Hmph, those mobs in the garrison. Why are they my opponents!"
The eldest prince seemed to have lost his mind. The thousand elite cavalry under him were established with painstaking efforts over the years, and many of them had recruited many powerful and authentic knights. He shouted loudly: "Raymond, I'll give you 500 people, you go and stop those guards! I personally led people to attack the palace, I don't believe I will fail!"
Count Raymond said nothing more. Sighed.
Won't it fail
Junker's 10,000 rebels have already been killed or injured, and the strength of the Holy Knights really cannot be insulted. At this moment, on the square, there are only about 6,000 Junker dungeon guards on his own side of the rebel army, plus the troops who have just collected the whole city. More than two thousand people came. Adding in one thousand cavalry of the eldest prince, and the bodyguards in the hands of those wealthy nobles on his own side, all added up, he could barely make up one thousand. A total of 10,000 people... to deal with the Holy Knights. To deal with 10,000 people to guard the army. Still want to capture the palace... easier said than done
At this moment, the gate of the imperial palace in the distance was suddenly opened, and then the door was empty. There was only Prince Chen standing alone, and he walked out slowly, holding a long object flatly in his hand, on which was a large black silk cloth, which seemed to be very heavy, from the outline, it seemed to be It is vaguely like a surprisingly long spear.
This sudden change made everyone stunned. With a smile on his face, Prince Chen walked slowly outside the gate of the palace, less than a hundred meters in front of him. It is a lot of rebels under General Juncker. But the prince was not afraid at all, stopped in his tracks, and lightly knocked the black thing covered in black silk on the ground.
Everyone was at a loss for a moment, wondering why the prince suddenly ran out of the imperial city by himself
The rebels didn't pay attention either, and were hesitating whether to go up immediately. If you can take the opportunity to kill the prince, then the situation...
"The first article of the knight's declaration..." Prince Chen's calm voice suddenly spread across the entire square so clearly. He obviously cast a sound transmission magic of the wind element, and the clear and warm voice clearly fell on everyone's ears: "The first article of the knight's declaration: I swear in the name of my heart. "Loyalty" will become the character I respect all my life, and I will abide by my heart. I will have no regrets in my life! If I violate it. May the "knight's gun" abandon my soul!"
"The second article of the knight's declaration: I swear in the name of my heart that "honor" will become an existence that is better than my life. Defend my honor, defend the honor of the knight, and have no regrets! If you violate it. Gun "Abandon my soul!"
"The third article of the knight's declaration: I swear in the name of my heart, I will remember the "sacrifice". I will not spare my body, I will spare my life! I will have no regrets in my life! If I violate it, may the "knight's gun" abandon my soul!"
"Article 4 of the Knight's Declaration: I swear in the name of my heart, courage will always remain in my heart, and "bravery" will become my yardstick. Go forward bravely and have no regrets in my life! If I violate it, may the "Knight's Spear" abandon me. soul!"
"The fifth article of the knight's declaration: I swear in the name of my heart, I will have mercy on the weak, cruelty is my enemy, tolerance is my friend, a "compassion" heart, no regrets in life! If you violate it, may the "knight" The spear "Forsake my soul!"
"Article 6 of the Knight's Declaration: I swear in the name of my heart that I will maintain the fusion of spirit and soul. My spirit is my soul, and my soul is my life. I have no regrets in my life! If you violate it. May the "Knight" Gun "Abandon my soul!"
"Article 7 of the Knight's Declaration: I swear in the name of my heart: I will be "honest". As a knight, my words will always speak directly to my heart. Lies will be my greatest enemy and disdain, and I will have no regrets in my life! If you violate it, May the "Knight's Spear" forsake my soul!"
"Article 8 of the Knight's Declaration: I swear in the name of my heart: I will keep in mind "justice". My heart is the incarnation of the balance, and my sword will point to injustice. I have no regrets in my life! If you violate it, may the "Knight's Spear" abandon it my soul!"
Every warrior with knight qualifications on the mainland will keep in mind every sentence of the knight's declaration. Every person with knight qualifications knelt down and recited it when they first obtained the knighthood.
This declaration of knights is to let everyone who is a knight keep in mind the eight qualities of a knight: loyalty, honor, sacrifice, bravery, compassion, spirit, and honesty. just.
Although the Roland Continent is now a prosperous magic civilization, the era of knights is far longer than the history of magic civilization. Before the magic civilization was so prosperous, the knights were once the dominance of this continent!
Legend has it that in that era, the status of the Knights Association was far more important than that of the current Magic Union on the mainland! The knight associations all over the continent are the sacred places of the Kanbi Temple in everyone's heart, and everyone admires them very much. The status is extremely lofty. And every knight will be respected sincerely from the heart of the common people.
only. Years passed, and now on the mainland, the status of magic is far higher than that of warriors. The era of knights has long passed. Most importantly, as the years go by. The eight spirits of knights have been gradually forgotten by people... Although every knight can recite the manifesto, there are very few people who can truly abide by the spirit of chivalry. Most of the so-called "knights" are only powerful in force, but mixed in spirit.
The real reason, besides the prosperity of magic. The knights are weak. There is another most important reason. That is: when the current knights take the oath when they get the badge, the oath is no longer binding on them!
When a magician takes an oath, he will automatically leave a magic mark. For example, the "First Iron Law", if you break your oath, you will be punished accordingly!
But now, the declarations of those knights are often not what they mean. There are eight spirits in his mouth, but after leaving the Knights Association, there are often people who act recklessly and bully the weak. In addition to the loss of spiritual belief, it is considered to have abandoned the content of the declaration. It will not be punished accordingly, and it will lose its binding force. This is the biggest reason why chivalry has not come to fruition!
Without the power of restraint, decay. Just naturally!
Prince Chen's face was extremely serious, and his eyes swept away gently. On the square, whether it is the rebels or the royalists, there are countless people with different levels of knight titles in the camp. Suddenly, His Royal Highness Chen recited the eight spirits of the knight declaration aloud in public. Everyone couldn't help but look weird, wondering what kind of mystery this Highness was playing. There are even some people whose faces remain unchanged, but in their hearts they are faintly disdainful of the so-called eight spirits...
"If I violate it, may the "Knight's Spear" abandon my soul!!" Prince Chen suddenly murmured this sentence softly, then paused, and repeated loudly: "May the Knight's Spear. Abandon my soul! He scanned his eyes back and forth, and said with a slight smile, "Nowadays, how many people still abide by these eight spirits? Your Excellencies, knights?"
Knight's Lance...
According to legend, in the age of knights, the highest artifact of knights, a legendary spear, possesses supreme power and is the strongest weapon of warriors left by the gods in the world. Every knight must face the knight's strength. I swear, my soul imprint will remain on this knight's spear! If you violate the oath. The spear of the knight will strip off the imprint of the soul of the oath breaker, and after death, the soul will float to the mainland, becoming a sad soul forever, and will be punished by loneliness and darkness forever.
The punishment of "Knight's Lance" hangs above the head. In that era, few knights dared to violate their oath and do evil!
Unfortunately, I don't know when it started, or even when, where, or why. Anyway, the mysterious "Knight's Spear" has long since disappeared into the long river of history. Where is the gun. Where and when it was lost, some people even think that the gods took back that powerful weapon.
After that, the spirit of chivalry declined, and it began from then on. Lost the deterrence of punishment. When the knights took the oath, they didn't have to imprint their souls on the legendary knight's spear, and they didn't have to worry about being punished by the knight's spear for breaking the oath. Therefore, the spirit of chivalry decayed from generation to generation, and finally became what it is today. situation.
At this moment, Prince Chen was standing at the gate of the city, and the smell of blood was wafting everywhere in the square, yet he suddenly talked about the knight's spirit and oath, which made him a little weird. subsequently. The Highness slowly tore off the black silk covering the long thing beside him, revealing its face...
A golden spear, shaped like an enlarged cross, a golden cross spear. Standing on the ground like this, the height is even higher than that of Prince Chen, the gun body is shining brightly, but the cross spear head is faintly broken, and the cross on the spear tip seems to be broken for some reason. A short section is missing, and if you look closely, you will find that there are many terrible scratches on the handle of the gun. Some scratches, if they were a little deeper, I am afraid that the golden cross spear would have been taken away. Divided into two broken!
The golden cross gun was exposed under the noses of everyone, and for a while, almost all the sound of breathing on the square stopped! Tens of thousands of eyes stared at the golden cross gun in Prince Chen's hand. After a long time, no one dared to make a sound! !
Also without any warning, suddenly in the camps of both sides, whether they were rebels or royalists, countless people suddenly ran out of the queue and knelt down on one knee on the square far away. Facing Prince Chen from afar, with a single fist across the heart, these knights wearing various badges of different levels on their chests, everyone lowered their heads deeply, trembling all over their bodies, and their eyes were full of fanaticism and piety. , even better than the most fanatical religious believers ten points!
Even Earl Raymond's Alpha Guard Chief. He had already fallen off the horse, and he, who was injured in his leg, even scrambled and fell on the ground regardless of his own injury. This important minister of the Luo Lin family is now facing the direction of Prince Chen with tears in his eyes .
"Alpha!" Earl Raymond changed color: "You..."
"Lord Earl." Alpha raised his head. His body trembled, and he took a deep breath: "That's the holy gun! The real holy gun! The knight's gun!"
The knight's gun, the golden cross gun, the holy gun... At the same time, it also has a very sacred name in the hearts of the knights: the gun of Longchinus!
Standing on the city wall, Du Wei took back the knights who floated to the square and knelt down in the dark, he sighed...
big prince. Already defeated.
