This is not a coronation.
Calling today's ceremony a "coronation" is simply because most people in this era are more familiar with this term.
Gawain leaned on the long sword of the pioneer and stood on the skull of a false god like a mountain top. The black platform had a deep texture that was completely different from the style of the royal family in the past. The wings made of steel spread out on both sides of the platform, carrying the empire. The veil of the emblem extends all the way to the ground, and in front of the emblem is the Iron Ranger regiment entering the square.
Different from the black armor of the magic infantry, the fully enclosed helmet full of mystery, the more orderly phalanx, and the more cutting-edge weapons, the appearance of the second phalanx once again caused a commotion in the crowd inside and outside the square, and this kind of The shock also spread to the platform in the castle area.
The royal nobles, merchant representatives, old knight officers and church representatives who were invited to watch the ceremony wore their most beautiful dresses and performed dozens of drills at home, ready to welcome the king's coronation and cheering, but when this moment really came, they almost all forgot how to react.
This is not a coronation, this is a display and a meaningful "telling".
Cromwell?? The Earl of White Mountain stood on the platform of Silver Fort. This knight lord with dwarf blood stared at the soldiers marching in line and their uniform equipment. Until now, he finally realized this. This team is two completely different things from the army he has been in contact with before, and he also realized why Cecil's rise is inevitable.
He sighed softly: "Your Majesty Wales... It seems that this is why you let me stay..."
"Seeing it with your own eyes is very beneficial for those of us who are lucky enough to survive." The earl of Bahrain straightened his neck tie while talking. The slightly fat earl glanced at the many faces on the platform , Among these faces, some were bowing their heads in thought, some were trembling slightly, but no matter who they were, there was inevitably a trace of awe.
Not far away, the Duke of Baldwin and the Duchess of Victoria were talking, and the Duke of the Western Territory sighed in a low voice: "Only by ensuring food production first can we spread education on a large scale, and only by ensuring basic education and food supply can we carry out industrialization. To produce and train professional soldiers, such an army can be realized only by ensuring the supply of equipment and food, and at the same time rigorously training and re-educating professional soldiers. This is a complete chain with inseparable links between each other.”
The Duchess of the North nodded slightly: "The reason why the New Deal failed at the beginning was because we only copied a few of the rings, and these rings eventually turned into bonsai for self-entertainment, and it is difficult to become a forest..."
Cromwell? Baishan listened to the words coming from behind him, and in meditation, he looked at the square. On the wide road on the east side, chariots lined up neatly were entering the arena.
On the edge of the Silver Fort Square, the gathered citizens have calmed down from the initial shock. Although they did not understand the meaning of this extraordinary "coronation ceremony", the Cecil Legion marched in line. The scene is enough to make these people who lack daily entertainment feel completely fresh and surprised.
Those soldiers and chariots are majestic and intimidating. They are undoubtedly a terrifying force that can scare the enemy on the battlefield, but this army is not the enemy here—a subtle sense of excitement provokes the people in the square , Let them discuss eagerly and uncontrollably, and finally cheered again and again.
And among the cheering and commotion crowd, in a small open space isolated by the soldiers, a group of technicians wearing magician robes were manipulating several mechanical devices. The optical crystals were calibrated and pointed in the direction of the Silver Fort. A young man in a tuxedo explained excitedly beside the machine: "... this is the scene of Saint-Sunil, and the square of steel ambassadors is being inspected by His Majesty... There are cheers from all directions, Miss Witch, did you hear it—everywhere here All cheers!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, another burst of shouts suddenly came from the east side of the square, and accompanied by the shouts, there was also a continuous piece of holy light that spread like a cloud.
Wearing heavy armor, holding a warhammer and an iron-cased prayer book, the White Knights entered the square with heavy and powerful steps.
The surging holy light reverberates within this team. Although the number of people is the smallest, the power and sense of presence of this battle group are almost the strongest among all the teams so far. The former Holy See knights and nuns shrouded in holy light...
People continued to cheer and discuss. Ordinary people often do not see how much symbolic meaning is hidden in a ritualized stage. They just feel that this scene is novel and spectacular. In an instant, he became dignified and quiet.
The nobles looked at each other for a while, and the knights and merchant representatives looked at the area where the church personnel gathered, but saw the priests in the priest's robes just standing there quietly, expressionless and calm. Watch it happen.
Among the group of priests, Veronica, holding a platinum scepter, showed a slight smile and said softly, "Now, the army of God is going to be inspected by the emperor."
In a room in a tower of Silver Castle, Melita Purnia, wearing a veil, stood in front of the window, watching the scene on the square through the crystal glass, when the knights and nuns representing the power of the church entered , the humanoid dragon smiled lightly and returned to the table.
There is a stack of manuscripts on the table. The manuscript has been turned to the last page. On the tough enchanted parchment, there is only one sentence written:
To sum up, even though the road is difficult, our success is inevitable, which is determined by the laws of history...
The agent lady blinked, and said to herself in a low voice under the veil: "This thing... I can't make a price."
On the square, due to the small number of arms in the new empire, this "military parade" did not last long. In the end, all the phalanxes completed their review. The corps returned to the open space in front of the suspension bridge according to the scheduled procedure, and quickly changed teams amidst the command of the commander, and lined up in three rows, facing the crowd outside the square.
It wasn't until this moment that Gao Wen finally moved. He held the hilt of the sword with one hand, raised the other hand slightly, and the voice resounded all around: "Everyone has—
"Raise the sword, light the blade—
"Hail to the citizens of the Empire!"
The previous cheers and noise disappeared in an instant. After a moment of silence, an expected commotion spread among the crowd. When the imperial soldiers really raised their swords to salute, almost everyone subconsciously raised their swords in fear and helplessness. Half a step back, and then people began to look at each other, looking at the scene in bewilderment.
They cannot understand this scene.
Gao Wen knew that this was inevitable, but he just wanted to leave this scene to history.
Before the commotion continued, the large holographic projection device installed in front of the Silver Castle was activated.
Accompanied by the humming of low magic power, huge light curtains rose from the ground, appearing out of thin air like clock towers, and the crowd in the square was shocked for a moment. They quieted down, then widened their eyes and stared at the holographic projection with full concentration The scene presented.
The Magical Legion set off from the Rock Fortress, set foot on the Plain of the Holy Spirit, and headed north all the way.
Cities and villages have been destroyed by the army of clusters, corpses are everywhere in the desolate ruins, and ferocious monsters roam the battlefield.
The soldiers fought bravely, the earth was turned into scorched earth, cities were recaptured, and the only remaining refugees were sent to the rear by transport teams.
The armored train opened fire on the track, and the steel defense line set up between the mountains and mountains fired in unison. The defense line was continuously broken through and counterattacked.
These pictures have been selected, and the parts that may cause panic have been skipped. However, even so, the crowd in the square still rioted again and again, and some people even wanted to run away in fear: the shock brought by the holographic projection is huge. , these ordinary people who have just experienced the Battle of San Sunil are even more so.
But in the end, the crowd maintained order—because people haven't seen holograms before. Magic is everywhere in this world. Even if ordinary people cannot grasp it, at least they have seen it. They realized from the beginning that these are images recorded by magic. After experiencing the initial tension, they calmed down and started Watching the shocking scenes.
Outside of Saint-Sunil, where they couldn't see, the war turned out to be so brutal.
In the end, all the video materials were finished, and Gao Wen's full-body portrait appeared on the huge projection.
"My people, all who live in this land, whether you are slaves or freemen, merchants or peasants, soldiers or generals, commoners or nobles, whoever you are, wherever you are now—
"Your Emperor now speaks to you.
"This country has been through severe challenges and trials, all of us, just survived a disaster - the enemy tried to bring us down, with plague, with monsters, with war, and even with stolen powers of gods, but in In the end, we still survived.
"We won.
"But any victory is temporary.
"Difficulties and challenges will always exist, whether it is war, or hunger, or plague, or other natural and man-made disasters. In this world, we have no way to escape, we can only resist head-on, because survival is our first priority. elements.
"To survive, to face the challenges of this world, to those who try to kill us, to try to destroy us, and those who try to destroy us, I stand here and say to you that a new nation will rise from the ashes built on the land.
"The Empire of Cecil will be a sanctuary for all in this land, its glorious subjects, its future citizens, each of you belongs to it, and it shall belong to each of you—we will use Industrious and wise, rebuild its ruins, sweep its dirt away, and it will be strengthened and honored by each of you.
"We will fight hunger, we will fight pestilence, we will fight ignorance and ignorance, we will be fed, we will be fed, we will be safe, and however long it takes, we will make it come.
"I am your emperor, Gawain Cecil, I promise you that everything I say here today will be the cornerstone of Cecil's empire and will be valid forever."
The holographic projections gradually faded away.
The cheers were a few seconds late, and people seemed to be still thinking about His Majesty's exciting words, but the cheers finally rang out, resounding throughout the city of Saint-Sunil.
On the viewing platform of the Silver Castle, Rebecca, who was wearing a court dress, stared at all this with wide-eyed excitement. She wanted to raise her hand a few times, but hesitated to look at Hetty who was beside her in full dress. Aunt, put your hands away again.
The nearby attendants didn't know what Her Royal Highness wanted to do, and they all seemed a little at a loss. Finally, Hetty turned her head slightly and whispered in a voice that only Rebecca could hear:
"Today is an exception.
"Rub a big one—just as a memorial to a historic moment."
When the fireball, which was almost as big as a magic vehicle, flew out of the Silver Fort and exploded in the sky, the sound of salutes also came from the east and west sides of the square at the same time.
The ceremonial car started to turn and was about to return to the castle courtyard. Gawain exhaled softly and looked up at the sky.
His nerves relaxed a little, and he couldn't help but think of a question—
After a few years, "What is the diameter of the fireball that Princess Rebecca
The ceremony was still going on, and the follow-up etiquette process and finishing items would continue until around sunset, but Gawain, the new head of state of the empire, had roughly finished his work. Before the dinner began, he could go back to the castle to rest.
When he returned to the room, he was not surprised to see Melita Purnia who had already been waiting here.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty Gawain Cecil," the agent lady smiled and said congratulatory words, "The Age of Empires has begun."
