Chapter 20: Celebration ⅰ

Views:

The day that Enleco was eagerly awaiting finally arrived, the annual Victory Day celebration finally arrived. For this day, she (he) had really been looking forward to it for a long time, because the day of relief finally arrived.

Because he was too excited, Enleco got up early in the morning, but to her (his) expectation, someone actually got up earlier than her (him). Just take a look at the food piled up across the room. Beautiful flowers can be seen. Enleco really couldn't imagine where Haguero got so many flowers. For five days, he could see so many flowers immediately when he got up every day, and what was even more surprising was that these flowers were definitely just picked. When they came down, many petals still had fresh dewdrops on them. Enleco was really moved by Hegeelo's good intentions, and at the same time he had a huge headache.

Another thing that gave Enleco a headache was the beige dress placed in the middle of the bedroom. Seeing this beautiful and gorgeous dress, Enleco not only felt a headache, but even his stomach was throbbing. .

Enleco knew very well about this long dress. It was Haguelo's mother who asked someone to customize it for herself. Originally, it would take at least two months to make a luxurious long dress like this, and that In order to repay Hegeelo's mother for some unknown favor she had done to him, an old tailor worked overnight and in three days made this gorgeous long dress that was novel in style, dignified in style, and yet light and airy at the same time. . The whole dress is like a fresh and elegant tulip, which looks both elegant and graceful. The asymmetrical two-fold skirt looks so dignified and pretty against the twelve lily-shaped skirt edges. A V-shaped gauze scarf of the same color is tied around her waist. The gauze scarf is tied with a big butterfly-shaped knot on the waist, and two soft gauze and satin are hanging down along the waist. The whole dress does not have too many luxurious decorations, and it is completely with that fresh and refined look. The simple and clear lines make people feel extremely elegant and moving.

The only decoration on the entire dress is the Bauhinia brooch pinned to the left chest. This brooch is made of countless gemstones carefully carved and inlaid by famous craftsmen. It is a leaf carved from a whole piece of emerald. It has become the most conspicuous part of such a brooch, and the scattered petals made of various rubies and diamonds around it look so charming against the backdrop of this emerald. Enleco simply could not estimate the value of this treasure.

However, Enleco is no longer attracted by these beautiful appearances. Enleco, who has suffered so much, knows better than anyone the hard work hidden behind the beauty. Take that long skirt as an example. Enleco really hated and feared the dragon skin belt hidden inside. That long skirt was simply an invulnerable super armor. Enleco even suspected that the dragon skin was Can block the puncture of most magic weapons.

With the help of four maids, Enleco quickly put on the long skirt. In order to quickly change clothes, they had been practicing for two or three days, because today Enleco inevitably needed to use completely different clothes. This identity appears in front of people. Therefore, being able to put on makeup and get dressed in the shortest time has become the biggest problem they face.

In this regard, Enleco had to admire the hairstylist of Her Royal Highness the Princess. This lady was worthy of being the chief packaging expert of Sophie Kingdom. She was absolutely authoritative in this regard. In the past few days, she had come up with all kinds of things. Methods to shorten the time of makeup and dressing, such as making eyelashes in advance instead of gluing them on one by one temporarily. Use makeup in a very elegant way, and simply wipe your face when removing makeup. Make Enleco's hairstyle when wearing women's clothing into a bun that can be easily hidden. In this way, when changing into men's clothing, you only need to wear a wig outside, and no one will pay attention to a man's hair. In order to change clothes quickly, Enleco had to always wear the corset made of dragon skin, even when changing into men's clothing.

After countless tests, countless improvements, and countless exercises, Enleco finally mastered all the tricks on how to quickly become another person in the shortest time. Now as long as they help, Enleco can change from female to male in one minute. Of course, the reverse process is much more troublesome and takes several times the time, but all this can be done in five minutes. Everything was completed within the clock, but Enleco secretly prayed that there would not be too many opportunities to crossdress.

As the time approached, Enleco became a little restless. She (he) sometimes stood up and walked around the bedroom twice, and sometimes ran to the window and lay down on the window to look out. Sometimes he picked up the note that Hagrid gave her (him) and flipped through two pages, sometimes he pulled out the magic bow and fiddled with it for a while. Anyway, Enleco didn't have time to stop for a moment.

Time passed by with great difficulty, and finally, the servants came to invite her (him) to go downstairs. Enleco was so excited that he led his maid down the stairs happily. Exactly as she (he) imagined, Haguero and his mother had been waiting there early downstairs, and all the servants stood respectfully on both sides, all waiting for their arrival.

Seeing Miss Fenacia walking down the stairs in all her attire, Hagrid was really stunned. He had never seen such a beautiful scenery. Although Miss Fenacia usually always wears a gorgeous long dress and stays by his side, the kind of joy from the heart that this lady is showing now is something Hagrid cannot see at ordinary times. , with this happy expression as a backdrop, the already extremely beautiful Miss Fenasia became even more charming.

Of course, Hagrid knew very well why Miss Fenasia was happy and excited, which made Hagrid feel a little painful. He really didn't want to let this cute and charming little lamb go wild. When he thought of this, Hageello felt an extremely strong sense of loss in his heart.

Haguero's mother certainly knew what her son was thinking. She leaned close to her son's ear and whispered softly: "Don't worry, your sweetheart will never escape. I have already made arrangements."

Hearing his mother's comfort, Hagrid cheered up. He took two steps forward and said, "Dear Miss Feeney, today is the last day we get together. I hope you can spend this last day happily."

After speaking, Haguero gently raised his arms. This action made Enleco confused.

Seeing the beautiful Miss Fenacia standing there with a confused look on her face, almost everyone almost fell to the ground with laughter. Even the two maids beside them did not turn around and kept secretly there. Smirk. Hagrid's mother came over and gently took the hand of the confused Miss Fenasia, making the two of them hold their arms tightly together.

Enleco suddenly realized, but she (he) really couldn't bear this behavior that made her (him) quite embarrassed. She (he) secretly tried hard to pull her arm out of Haguero's arms. , However, her (his) power was not comparable to that of Haguero, who was a paladin, so Enleco had to reluctantly follow Duke Haguero out of the hall.

In five days, this was the first time that Enleco walked out of this huge mansion. She (he) couldn't help but think of the scene where she (he) broke through the window glass and escaped here five days ago. It was the same as now, leading to The long corridor of the gate was filled with majestic soldiers. However, it was completely different from that day. The soldiers today did not have the murderous and tense atmosphere that day. On the contrary, all the guards stood on both sides in high spirits, with their majestic and solemn expressions as if they were being reviewed by the king and queen. Enleco was angry and funny about this. She (he) knew that in the minds of these guards, she had long been the wife of their commander-in-chief. Hagrid hooked Miss Fenacia's arm and boarded the carriage under the watchful eyes of all the guards. In order to let the two of them be alone, Hagrid's mother sat alone in a carriage at the back.

The two carriages started slowly. To Enleco's expectation, Haguero, who was sitting next to him, did not sit closely against her (him) like last time. Instead, he sat with her (him). ) kept a certain distance and sat there silently.

※※※

There were more and more carriages on the road. Enleco found that all the other carriages would consciously give way to a road when they saw Haguero's carriage. Enleco was secretly surprised by the power of Duke Haguero. So big that the carriage gradually drove onto the central avenue in the capital Vedsk. The originally extremely wide Central Avenue was now filled with various types of luxury carriages. The entire avenue was like a broad river of carriages converging towards Victory Square in the center of the capital Vedsk.

Although the carriage in front of him will automatically give way along the way, and although this carriage is driving on the central axis of the avenue, the carriages here are much rarer than those on the outside of the avenue, but Enleco still feels that the carriage is traveling at a considerable speed. The slow, bored Enleco looked out of the window. What caught Enleco's attention was that most of the carriages walking on this central axis were the same as Duke Haguero's car, which was extremely luxurious. Enleco guessed that there might be a class difference between walking and riding in the Kaoqi Kingdom.

However, all the surrounding carriages, or the owners of those carriages, were obviously of a much lower status than Duke Hegeelo, so as soon as Hegeello's carriage approached, the carriages in front immediately gave way. The people sitting in the carriages next to them will immediately open the windows, and then a smiling face will come out of the window, followed by a lot of flattering nonsense. Enleco heard Seeing these horrifying flattery words, these shameless and despicable flatterers only made me feel sick to my stomach, and I felt like I wanted to vomit.

All this fell into Haguero's eyes, and he was so considerate that he closed the windows on both sides of the car tightly, and drew the two thick curtains, not even giving any face to those outside. A guy who keeps sucking up to you.

Despite this, Enleco could still hear the continuous noisy flattery outside through the thick barrier. She (he) was really at a loss to do anything about this. She (he) never thought that someone would lose their dignity to such an extent.

He didn't know how long it had been in the dark carriage, but Enleco suddenly heard two gentle knocks on the front wall of the carriage. Enleco originally thought they had arrived at their destination, but immediately saw Haguero casually opening the curtain near her and opening the window. Through the window, Enleco saw a purple-red carriage running side by side. It was completely different from the other carriages around. This carriage was not luxurious at all. The style was exactly the same as an ordinary car. The only difference was that That window is much larger than an ordinary carriage.

Enleco looked inside and saw an extremely beautiful woman sitting in the car. You can see from the window that the beautiful woman is wearing a lavender long skirt, with a very low neckline on her upper body, a colorful diamond necklace hanging on her snow-white neck, and a dark blue gauze scarf draped over her The smooth and smooth right shoulder of the beauty makes the beauty even more beautiful. And all of this is so consistent with the beauty's outstanding temperament. Her long, shiny black hair is flowing and curled like a waterfall, two willow hairs hang down in a spiral shape, and a pair of red phoenix eyes with flying corners reveal sharp sparkles. The bright eyes and the straight bridge of the nose made Enleco feel an invisible sense of oppression, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth showed an expression that was half-smiling.

Enleco had to admit that this beauty was indeed one of the most beautiful beauties she (he) had ever seen. However, she (he) always felt that there was something very different about this beauty. What was the difference? Enleco Ke really can't tell.

But she (he) immediately thought that all the beauties she had seen were different. Take the teacher Chris whom she saw first. Enleco had to admit that this teacher and master of his was She is definitely a beauty, but Enleco has never treated her as a woman. It can even be said that she (he) has not treated this terrible teacher as a human being at all. Enleco doubts Kate and Jerry. , Bertina and the three of them also regarded this teacher as a terrifying monster.

The other beauty is Her Royal Highness the Princess. Enleco now has a headache whenever he thinks of this Her Highness the Princess. This princess is definitely not as scary as her aunt, Teacher Chris.

Of course, Enleco has not forgotten the two beauties he met in his dream when he fell asleep drunk at the "Forest Fairy" bar. It can be said that they are real beauties. However, Enleco is not sure about this. Is it an image created by your own consciousness

Of course, Enleco only forgot that she was also a beauty dressed in women's clothing. And it is precisely this fatal reason that she (he) has fallen into the current predicament that is difficult to extricate herself from.

After coming back to his senses, Enleco began to guess who the beautiful woman in front of him was and why she was following them. However, she (he) immediately felt confident that the beautiful woman was definitely the big pervert Hegelo next to her. An old flame from the past. But Enleco immediately realized that he had obviously misunderstood. He saw a head coming out from next to the beauty. Enleco recognized it at once. It was the same head he had met with Haguero when he first met him. The deep and steady young man who was with Luo, thought that he had been entertained by that person that day, but until now, he didn't even know who the other person was. Enleco was somewhat embarrassed about this.

Maybe it’s because it’s inconvenient to talk through the window, maybe it’s because Hegeelo and that person can communicate clearly and unmistakably with just their eyes. Anyway, the person in the carriage opposite just said hello to him. Didn't say anything. However, Enleco was quite strange about one thing. Unlike usual, the stunning beauty opposite did not always focus on Duke Haguero next to her like the other beauties. Instead, Staring at himself all the time, Enleco even felt that that look was so familiar, as if he could often see it somewhere, but Enleco just couldn't remember under what circumstances he had seen it. However, this look still made Enleco quite uncomfortable.

Moreover, Enleco soon discovered that he was not the only one who felt uncomfortable. Duke Haguero next to him was obviously equally uncomfortable.

In this awkward atmosphere, the two carriages drove toward the square together.

I don’t know how long it took, but the carriage finally arrived at Victory Square in the center of the city. It was completely different from the first time it came here. In addition to the solemn atmosphere, today’s Victory Day Square added a sense of joy. The twelve triumphal arches in the center have long been sealed, and no vehicles can pass through. Most of the carriages were stopped far away from the center of the square. The nobles in gorgeous clothes got out of the carriages one by one and walked towards the square in groups.

There is a circle of neatly dressed and majestic holy knights one kilometer outside the square. Enleco could recognize most of the members, and today these holy knights of the Kaoqi Kingdom seemed particularly energetic. I saw them all dressed in festive attire, bright red military uniforms with polish! The bright golden helmet was dyed bright red so that the bird feathers fluttered in the wind on the back of the head. A ribbon entirely embroidered with gold threads hangs diagonally from the left shoulder to the right waist, and a scarlet cloak is draped behind the body.

When the nobles approached these holy knights, they all had to show the invitation letter issued by the palace before they were allowed to enter the square, which was closely guarded by the holy knights.

Due to the extremely noble status of Hegeelo and Somyret, their three carriages were not blocked and drove directly into Victory Square.

The carriage slipped halfway along the edge of the square. Then he stopped in an open space on the left. When Enleco got off the carriage and saw that there were only a dozen carriages parked in the open space, she (he) guessed that the owners of these carriages should be some of the super powerful people of the Kaoqi Kingdom. Among these carriages, Enleco recognized the one that Her Royal Highness the Princess was riding in at a glance, and then found the car of the great wizard Kobe Leo.

※※※

Enleco followed Haguero up the steps in front of the Victory Temple. At this time, her (his) arm was once again tightly hooked by Haguero, unable to break free at all. Enleco was quite dissatisfied with this. She (he) did not want Her Highness the Princess, Joe, Kobe Leo and others to see this appearance. She (he) did not want her companions to see her embarrassment, but for her body Enleco really had no choice but to let Duke Haguero, who was a powerful paladin in martial arts, go up the steps with him.

Every few steps, there is a holy knight standing. Different from the knights standing guard in the outer circle, these knights standing on the steps are all elites among the holy knights. They are all high-ranking knights, captains and above. . Enleco was really familiar with them. If it weren't for the fear of exposing his identity, Enleco would have gone up to say hello.

Looking down from the steps, colorful flags were flying all over the square, and a long red banner fluttered in the wind on each triumphal arch. The edges of the banners were trimmed with golden tassels, which shone in the sunlight. Under each flag in the square stands a majestic holy knight. Flags, golden helmets, and costumes add a majestic and magnificent scene to the entire square.

The square stretches all the way to both sides of the Temple of Victory, and is hung with gorgeous silk brocades of various colors. These noble clothing materials, originally used to make the most beautiful festival costumes, are cut into long and narrow silk ribbons to decorate festivals. of square. All the sculptures in the square, including all the reliefs and statues on the twelve triumphal arches, are decorated with beautiful gold foil.

Arriving at the steps, Enleco finally saw the members of the Sophie Kingdom envoy. In the left corner of the steps, the princess and the prince's special envoys representing the Kingdom of Sophie attended this grand Victory Day celebration. Her Royal Highness the Princess looks even more beautiful today. She was seen wearing a snow-white long skirt, and the complicated and overlapping skirts were as light and fluttering as petals. The two series of light gauze wrapped around the right shoulder and left waist look so smart, adding a lively feeling to the princess's originally too serious expression. Two arm bracelets made of gold wire, paired with a ruby necklace, look so lively. Noble and elegant, Her Royal Highness today did not deliberately style her beautiful but extremely troublesome hairstyle (Enleco guessed that this may be because her hairstylist came to serve her, so there was no experienced person to help her take care of her hair. ). But in this way, Her Royal Highness the Princess became even more charming.

While seeing the princess, Enleco also saw His Royal Highness the Prince. Obviously, His Highness the Prince also saw her (him). Enleco looked at the way His Royal Highness the Prince looked at him, and couldn't help but feel angry and funny. This guy obviously didn't recognize him.

Moreover, this guy with poor eyesight is very likely to be fascinated by his current appearance. You can know this by just looking at the reddish cheeks and the passionate eyes of the prince, Enleco Guess what kind of surprised expression this guy will have when he knows his true face. Sure enough, the next thing I saw was Her Royal Highness the Princess whispering something into her brother's ear. Immediately, the prince's expression became extremely strange. The wide-open mouth and protruding eyeballs showed that the prince's spirit was in a very chaotic state. The prince finally recovered a little. His Highness quickly took out a medicine bottle from his arms, pulled out the stopper, put the bottle to his mouth, tilted his head, and took a big sip, before breathing heavily and returning to a more normal state.

Seeing this state, Enleco quickly followed Haguero to the other side of the steps. She (he) never wanted to attract anyone's attention again.

Although she (he) does not want to attract other people's attention, because she (he) is so beautiful and outstanding in women's clothing, it is impossible not to attract other people's attention. Sure enough, everyone around was whispering to each other, and the steps immediately became lively.

Enleco could tell what those people were talking about without guessing, because many of the people talking were the ladies she (he) had met at Haguero's house. And these ladies are all at the center of those discussions, almost like official news publishers. Enleco is not stupid. In the past few days, she (he) has already guessed what kind of trap Hegeello's resourceful mother has set for her (him). These witnesses she had deliberately arranged had already identified themselves as Duchess Heigello. Just thinking about this, Enleco's head feels extremely painful. She (he) doesn't know if the great wizard Kobe Leo has the ability to settle all this.

And that Duke Hegeero looked at everything in front of him with great interest, and he felt extremely proud when he saw this. From the eyes of the people around him, he could clearly feel how much envy and jealousy there was, and the two most eager pairs of eyes came from the brother and sister standing next to him.

Regarding his comrades, the older brother among them, Haguero is not worried at all, because he is confident that although this guy is resourceful, his ability to deal with beautiful women is definitely not comparable to his own. On the contrary, for his younger sister, He had to be extremely vigilant. Hagrid was not confident that he could definitely defeat this woman who did not like the opposite sex but preferred the same sex. He will never forget that every time he competed with this guy to chase women, he always lost to this terrible perverted guy. Hagero secretly decided not to let this woman escape his gaze and come within three steps of his sweetheart.

Just as Hagero was on guard and the people around him were talking a lot, as three loud horns were blown, everyone on the steps fell silent, and there was no more noise. Each of the holy knights standing up and down the steps took out a golden horn from behind. Under the illumination of the sun that had just risen and shone slantingly above their heads, these horns shone with little golden brilliance. The scene is so spectacular, like a golden chain surrounding the entire square.

Two teams of holy knights walked in in neat steps from the left and right sides of the square, arranging in two rows like a fan. Four neatly dressed guards pushed a roll of scarlet carpet through the twelve triumphal arches and spread the carpet all the way to the steps.

All the carriages on the outside of the square, including the central avenue, and the nobles who had not yet had time to enter the square were dispersed to places far away on both sides. Every ten steps on both sides of the empty central avenue stood a holy knight holding a golden sword. The golden robes and golden helmets extend in a straight line to a very far place.

Suddenly, all the horns sounded together, and the loud sound of the horns floated into the distance, reaching every corner of Vedsk. As the horn blew, a team of war horses appeared on the Central Avenue in the distance. They were wearing scarlet jerseys and golden helmets. Even from such a distance, people could tell at a glance that it was the Kingdom of Kaoqi. The pride of the Holy Knights, the strongest knighthood in the world.

This so-called invincible and strongest legion is indeed different. Not only are all the knights majestic, but even the horses they ride on appear to be extremely energetic. Under the escort of this invincible knights, a golden open-top carriage drove slowly. All parts of the entire carriage, including the reins that hold the horses, are all gleaming gold. Shining brightly under the reflection of the sun. His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Kaoqi stood on the carriage with a solemn expression, and behind him on the left stood the great wizard Kobe Leo.

The leading guard knights passed through the twelve triumphal arches. The scarlet carpet and scarlet robes made these holy knights not attract anyone's attention. Everyone's attention was focused on the golden carriage. The young emperor appeared in front of people in full attire.

Enleco noticed that the attire worn by His Majesty the Emperor today was completely different from the first time they met. This time, the Emperor was wearing a set of golden military ceremonial attire, which made His Majesty the Emperor look particularly majestic.

The golden carriage gradually drove to the steps of the Victory Temple and stopped. His Majesty the Emperor descended from the carriage and ascended the steps. Following him was the great wizard Kobe Leo. When His Majesty Emperor Horkels III walked up the steps, all the civil and military ministers on the stage acted in unison to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, while all the ladies gave the most respectful greetings (with no choice but to do so). Enleco had no choice but to follow suit).

Originally Enleco didn't want to attract anyone's attention, especially the attention of those he knew, but obviously because she (he) was so good in women's clothing, he immediately became the focus of others' attention, Horkels His Majesty the Third Emperor noticed her (him) when he was standing far away, and the great wizard Kobe Leo next to him was smiling, making Enleco dumbfounded. Enleco didn't know whether the emperor knew about her affairs. She (he) was always uneasy about this.

His Majesty the Emperor, who glanced back and forth at himself, slowly turned around, and at this time all the trumpet sounds stopped. The whole square became silent, and only the sound of the flags blowing in the wind could be heard. Suddenly, His Majesty Emperor Horkels III said loudly: "Dear subjects, today we are here to celebrate that our ancestors have created this wonderful situation for us today. Let us remember the past and let us use this form to Always remember the ancestors who have worked hard and even sacrificed for our happy time today. Let us remember history and this glorious moment in history. Let us also inherit the tradition of bravery, love and sacrifice. I It is announced that the Victory Day celebrations have officially begun."

As the words of His Majesty Emperor Horkels III fell, ear-splitting cheers and loud horn blasts soared into the sky. What followed was the continuous beating of secret war drums, and the team of holy knights arranged in a fan shape on the square blew the dragon horn with an extremely low sound. After the low-pitched dragon horn sounded, countless horns sounded again, and this time they were divided into different scales regularly and sounded alternately according to different rhythms. All the sounds were mixed into an extremely unique military music, representing victory. Military music. To the rhythm of military music composed of horns and beating of war drums, a long army stretching for an unknown length of time marched towards here from the far end of the Central Avenue.

The army was getting closer and closer, and Enleco could clearly see that it was the Holy Knight of the Kingdom of Kaoqi who was at the front. Different from the Holy Knights who served as the emperor's flankers before, the Holy Knights walking towards the square now are a real knight brigade used for combat. I saw all these knights controlling their horses to slowly pass through the Arc de Triomphe in uniform steps. They also wore golden helmets and scarlet robes. The only difference was that they were tightly wrapped in a A thick layer of golden battle armor. This kind of battle armor is made up of two pieces of armor at the front and back. The front piece of armor is engraved with the flying lion emblem symbolizing the Iron Squadron of the Holy Knights. Each knight steps on a horse. He also wore a battle armor made of many golden armor pieces. In front of the right side of the war horse hangs a large golden shield that is as long and wide as a door panel. The front of the shield is also inlaid with a majestic flying lion made of blue enamel. A two-handed broad-blade golden sword hangs diagonally on the left side of the war horse, and in each knight's hand is a three-meter-long dragon spear, with the long golden spear tip pointing straight into the sky. These majestic The holy knights lined up in a row of four, with one and a half horses between the front and back rows. The squadron of a thousand knights stretched several hundred meters long. The neatly arranged golden spears formed a slowly flowing river composed of sharp spear points.

Entering the square behind the Holy Knight was a light cavalry regiment dressed in silver. These knights wearing sky blue tabards, light silver chain mail, and silver wide-brimmed helmets were also uniformly restraining their horses. Walking on the scarlet carpet and passing through the majestic Arc de Triomphe in exactly the same rhythm. Completely different from the heavily armored knights in front, these cavalry are not equipped with long dragon spears and huge two-handed broadswords. On the contrary, they had three slender spears with silver tips and a long sword that was placed diagonally on the right side of the horse. Although these knights were also equipped with shields, the round shields tied to their left arms obviously did not resemble the The huge shield equipped by the heavily armored Holy Knight completely protected people and horses. Enleco had a rough estimate of how this shield might be used. The shield and shirt were also printed with a volley of wings symbolizing the light cavalry! Marked by the flying eagle, Enleco knew that this light cavalry was the "Gust Wind" Knights, one of the four major light cavalry regiments, and the leader of this knights was none other than Haguero, who was holding him tightly next to him. Duke. Since the light cavalry had less equipment, they were obviously closer to the ground than the previous team, and the tight formation of a row still seemed quite empty to them. Another thousand light cavalry squadron was much shorter than the previous one.

Following the Knights of the Wind into the square was a swordsman brigade composed of four thousand swordsmen wearing medium armor and holding two-handed swords. Enleco knew that this unit was the highest level of the infantry. , each swordsman among them was selected from the lowest level of the infantry and formed an elite unit through strict selection. Although these swordsmen are usually equipped with two-handed long swords, in wartime, they They can be switched into infantry formations using various weapons at any time, and these swordsmen are also the fastest combat troops. They are the best mountain combat troops. They are also called cavalry who dismount for combat. Someone has said this There is no terrain in the world that cannot be reached by swordsman troops. The left arm of each swordsman is tied with a round shield like the light cavalry in front. The only difference is that there is no emblem on the swordsman's shield.

Following the swordsmen were the halberd infantry, who were also regarded as the essence of infantry. All the halberd infantry held their halberds at an angle and marched into the square in neat steps, their iron boots clanking on the hard ground. Because the halberd infantry is good at offense, its defense is relatively weak. Therefore, most of the halberd infantry in various countries wear tight-fitting iron armor to fight. Each of these halberd infantry are experts in tough battles. At the same time, they are also experts in using long weapons. In wartime, they can freely switch to use various long weapons. Generally speaking, a halberd infantry uses a dragon weapon. Their skills are definitely superior to those of heavy armored infantry. An infantry phalanx composed of four thousand halberd infantry was arranged in a loose formation of nine people and passed through the Arc de Triomphe majestically.

Following closely behind them were the heavy armored infantry. The heavy armored infantry of the Kingdom of Kaoqi has always been extremely famous. There was a time in history that heavy armored infantry was considered a completely useless force. Because they moved so slowly, they could almost only It is used for defense, and in the face of the powerful power of the magician, the heavy armored infantry is simply a target. This slow-moving unit cannot even escape, but since the chief magician of the Kaoqi Kingdom three hundred years ago, Pa After Des created the earth-binding formation, a group of heavy armored infantry advancing slowly in a tight formation led by one or two earth magicians became the most popular form of positional warfare on the battlefield. Since the combination of earth magicians with the strongest magical defense and heavy armored infantry with the highest physical defense form a super defense system with extremely strong defense, although the advancement speed of this unit is indeed quite slow, as long as there are With enough numbers, any army would be vulnerable to it. Therefore, from then on, the number of heavy armored infantry and earth magicians became more or less a symbol of a country's military strength. This situation lasted until the Battle of the Ryding Peninsula a hundred years later. The most powerful Kingdom of Tatu, with its powerful heavy armored infantry, was invincible and had the potential to unify the Leiding Peninsula. However, in the end, it was defeated by an idle playboy from the small Principality of Canelio. This inconspicuous little man made extensive use of the flying ability of the wind magician, and cooperated with the heavy armored cavalry to ruthlessly attack the weak and fatal points in the rear of the Tatu Kingdom. As a result, the entire army of the all-powerful Tatu Kingdom was annihilated, and eventually the country was destroyed. After being annexed by others, countries no longer dared to put all their war weight on a single type of arms. However, even so, heavy armored infantry is still valued by all countries as a powerful unit. Among them, the heavy armored infantry is still valued by all countries. The Kaoqi Kingdom, which invented this combat method, has the strongest heavy armored infantry. I saw those heavy armored infantry wearing thick iron armor one by one. This kind of armor is a kind of scale armor made of layers of iron sheets. It has a powerful defensive effect second only to the conjoined armor, and there are also linings inside the armor. Wearing a thick cotton robe. The helmets of these heavily armored infantrymen are particularly interesting. There is a long scale shield attached to the helmet, and only two eyes are exposed on the entire helmet. There are only two weapons used by heavy armored infantry, an upright shield that is as tall as one person and very wide, and a dragon gun that is nearly seven meters long. This ultra-long weapon is a nightmare for all cavalry. Since today's Victory Day military parade is not a real war, the extra-long dragon gun was replaced by a three-meter-long golden spear. They were so closely lined up that they formed a square formation. One after another, the heavy armored infantry held their spears in their hands and walked through the Arc de Triomphe extremely slowly. Those sharp and slender spears formed a golden and sharp forest. Under the forest were Heavy armored infantry wearing heavy armor, as thick as the earth.

Behind these uniquely shaped heavy armored infantry is the most common type of infantry - the knife sharpener. The main weapon is a one-handed sword or a one-handed knife, which is used for defense with a shield that is neither too big nor too small. The sharpener is the main force of every country, and this kind of force is definitely the largest in number.

After these knife cutters passed through the Arc de Triomphe, what entered Enleco's sight was the Longbowmen Legion. Enleco had always been very interested in this type of arms. She (he) himself was a very good longbowman, and only saw these longbowmen. Holding a bow in hand and a pot of arrows hanging on their backs, they stepped into the square in unison. A one-handed long sword hung on the waist of each longbowman, and there was a shield under the pot of arrows hanging on their backs.

Following closely behind the longbowmen was a rather strange type of soldier. Enleco really couldn't guess what this type of soldier was used for. He saw that these soldiers were also equipped with a bow, but it was just an ordinary combat bow. , with a slender scimitar slung across his waist, and wearing a light leather battle armor, with two pieces of iron armor attached to the vital parts. Enleco was full of curiosity about this kind of soldier.

As this last type of military unit slowly passed through the square, legions slowly gathered from the other end of the central avenue. These legions were all wearing different colors and types of clothing. The wide central avenue was crowded with densely packed troops.

After these legions were completely gathered, with the deep and distant sound of the Dragon, these legions set off slowly. Unlike the armies that were reviewed through the square in front, these legions were much larger in number, but their pace was uniform. It is obviously not as good as the previous legion.

When this huge army marched to the front of the square, everyone stopped. As the military music played intertwined with the sound of horns and drums, these legions filed through the Arc de Triomphe one by one and entered. Square to receive a review by His Majesty Emperor Horkels III.

Enleco guessed that these should be the armed forces owned by the local nobles in various vassal towns. As one legion after another passed by the nobles, Enleco discovered a very interesting thing. He saw that almost all of these legions were It is a cavalry unit, and although these cavalry are dressed in light cavalry uniforms, it can be seen from the horses they are equipped with and the steps they take when passing through the square that these cavalry are usually trained as heavy armored knights.

Enleco thought about it and understood that in the Kingdom of Kaoqi, the army has been recruited through the system of local nobles leading their own troops in all dynasties. In this way, the army's combat effectiveness is indeed stronger than that of other countries. However, this also caused the persistent problem of self-respect in the vassals of the Ka'aoqi Kingdom. In order to effectively control the local aristocratic armed forces, the sixth generation emperor of the Ka'aoqi Kingdom once issued an order that the local armed forces should only have It can be an army of a single nature, and it is never allowed to have the two ultimate arms of heavily armored knights and swordsmen. It was even forbidden to have heavy armored infantry at one time. Therefore, in order to have the strongest military strength as much as possible, the local vassals invariably obtained The training combat effectiveness of the light cavalry regiment is second only to these two arms. In order to have a more powerful attack in the war, these local nobles in the vassal town trained the light cavalry in the same way as the heavy armored cavalry. Therefore, these slow cavalry The light cavalry slowly passing through the square always gave Enleco a nondescript feeling.

Among these marching brigades that slowly walked across the square and looked like light cavalry but were actually heavy armored knights, there were one or two teams that aroused Enleco's keen interest. Among them, the private team owned by Duke Haguero next to him Armedness is one of them. Enleco noticed them first because of the badge logo painted on their shields and pennants. Enleco was too familiar with this badge. She (he) now wears such a badge. , that is, the redbud brooch pinned to her (his) chest. Enleco was really dumbfounded by this. She (he) did not expect that she (he) would eventually be fooled.

The other team that interested Enleco was one of the last teams to enter the field. The reason why she (his) interest was aroused was that this team was equipped with a unique weapon. There was a bow hanging on the left side of their horses. Enleco really didn't understand. What did the cavalry troops use bows for? The cavalry is a fast-attacking unit. Rushing into the enemy group as quickly as possible and quickly breaking away from contact with the enemy are the two main attack methods of the cavalry unit. Archers need to keep a certain distance from the enemy. The nature of this type of arms and The advantage is completely opposite to that of cavalry. Enleco is quite strange, how to use these two arms with completely opposite properties together. In addition to this, Enleco was quite strange. When the legion passed in front of him, Enleco also saw the leader walking at the front of the team looking in his direction. Enleco You can clearly feel that there is something special in that look. Moreover, Enleco felt that when that look came, the body of Duke Haguero beside him shook. This rather small reaction may be Others couldn't see it, but Enleco, whose arms were tightly hooked, could feel it quite clearly.

As the last legion slowly passed through Victory Square and walked along the right side of the temple towards the Heroes' Square behind them, a large number of people gathered on the Central Avenue in the distance. The dense crowd once again filled the wide central avenue. The avenue was crowded. However, the crowd this time was completely different from the previous ones. The people gathered together this time were ordinary people. On the central axis of the Central Avenue, there were cars parked every ten meters, decorated with various colorful shapes. Beautiful holiday float. Every float can be called a beautiful work of art. Standing next to these works of art were people holding flowers and ribbons. The entire Central Avenue has become a river of flowers and colorful ribbons, and the floats are like ships sailing in the river of flowers.

As the national music of the Kingdom of Kaoqi sounded, the river of flowers slowly flowed towards the square. The floats passed through the Arc de Triomphe one after another, and the crowds passed by both sides of the Arc de Triomphe, just like before. The legions undergoing review were completely different. These floats and people did not pass through the side of the temple but gathered in front of the square. Suddenly the river of flowers merged into a sea of flowers.

Enleco was originally the most enthusiastic about this kind of lively scene, but for some reason, Enleco is not interested in it at all now. She (he) only thinks that the scene in front of her is quite noisy, and she (he) does not Like this noisy and lively atmosphere, she (he) just wants to be alone and quiet. She (he) really hoped to find a place to rest alone for a while, but she (he) couldn't do it. The tightly hooked arms made it impossible for her (he) to do it. The brooch with the family crest of the Duke of Guerreau made it impossible for her (him) to do it, and the burning eyes of the people around her made it impossible for her (him) to do it. She (he) is now quite doubtful that after today, she (he) can really get rid of it. Enleco was not sure whether the Duke and his mother would let him go due to Haguero's entanglement.
