Hail the King

In terms of the magnificence of the buildings, the palace hall of Xiangbo City can definitely be ranked in the top three among the many affiliated countries of the Zenit Empire. All the buildings are all carved and stacked from huge white boulders. In the extremely spacious stone square, huge stone pillars 30 to 40 meters high and statues of gods more than ten meters high stand on the east, west, north, and three sides. Behind the stone pillars and statues is a majestic palace, and the north is open. Enter the Palace Square from here.

Tonight's celebration banquet will be held in this 1ù day huge stone square.

The celebrating crowd has slowly gathered in the square. Six huge bonfires are burning, printing the starry sky red. In the middle of the square, ten huge wooden towers are temporarily erected, all of which are six or seven meters high. The bodies of soldiers and civilians in Xiangbo City who died in this battle were placed layer by layer on the top.

The soldiers of the king's guard were clearly dressed and patrolled around the hall and the square with spears in their hands. The civilians put on white light robes. They sang and danced here. Some acrobats turned somersaults back and forth on the ground, and beautiful women held hands Holding hands, running and dancing around the bonfire, people held green branches symbolizing life and hope in their hands, and laughed heartily.

The night was getting darker.

Amidst the sound of horseshoes, Tolbinski, the young prince of the Zenit Empire finally came to the square with his guard knights. The old handsome Best led his servants to lead the prince and his party to the VIP platform under the giant stone statue in the west. Zenit is a monarchy, so the subjects of Xiangbo City extended a warm welcome to the arrival of the prince, and many fragrant flower petals and clear water were sprinkled on them.

Tolpinski is quite comfortable with such scenes.

At this time, Tolbinski unexpectedly showed the spirit and demeanor of a big prince, with a charming smile on his face, he kept waving to the poor around him. But the cavalry behind the prince obviously didn't have a good impression of the lowly lowly countrymen. Seeing the smiling faces around them, they were tall and arrogant, as if they were watching their own watchdogs wagging their tails and smiling at them. The same peace of mind.

Seeing that only Prince Tolbin came to the banquet alone, the old handsome Best was a little disappointed. The princess was the first person in the mission this time, controlling everything, but he had never been able to figure out the attitude of this woman. Originally, this banquet was a good opportunity to observe, but the other party did not attend... However, even so, Best still did not neglect at all, and ordered the servants to take care of all the etiquette.

After more than ten minutes, the cheering and dancing crowd finally stopped gradually, and the square became silent.

At this time, two teams of guards wearing gorgeous armor came out of the huge stone hall on the north side of the square, neatly lined up on both sides, and then, under the eyes of everyone, King Alexander led the beautiful fiancee Angela plain hand,

Slowly appeared on the high steps in front of the main hall.

At this time, Fei changed into a set of sky blue royal robes, which fluttered in the wind, which perfectly set off his slender and fit figure. He wore a golden leaf-shaped crown on his head. His hair was as black as ink, and his pair of star eyes Clear as electricity, rich as jade, majestic and heroic, with a temperament beyond the dust, the absolute majesty accumulated in the ruthless killings over the past few days and the natural affinity that he has are perfectly combined in this few moments, the whole person Majestic and luxurious, it looks like a lofty divine residence from a distance, vividly interpreting the demeanor of the king of a country.

Beside him, the beautiful Angela is also wearing a sky blue robe, her waist is gently tied with a gold ribbon, her figure is slender and round, her skin is more crystal clear and delicate than the thousand-year-old snow on the top of the snow mountain, Angela On La's head is a fresh flower crown woven from various colored flowers. The breeze blows the girl's tops, just like a goddess from the sky descending to the mortal world. It makes people dare not look down upon, and cannot give birth to the slightest blasphemous heart.

The two appeared on the high stone steps with smiles, and easily took away all the brilliance of the entire square in an instant. Instantly lost color.

The Xiangbo citizens in the square fell to their knees and shouted, 'Long live King Alexander! ’,

It was also the first time for many people to discover that their own king was so mighty and extraordinary. At this moment, no one could connect the image of the perfect king in front of them with the stupid idiot Alexander before. They knelt humbly on the square , Shout out with my life and soul.

Prince Tolbinski, who was sitting on the VIP table of the huge stone god statue in the west of the square, couldn't help standing up from his seat. During the day, he was very dismissive of the rumored king, even if he came to the banquet now , He also came here with the mentality of watching jokes and making troubles. At first, he had no doubts about his magnanimity and handsomeness. He thought that as long as he stood on the square, he could immediately take away everyone's glory... But now, Tangtang At this moment, the prince of the empire suddenly couldn't help but feel ashamed. Looking at the group of young men and women in the world in the main hall in the distance, the little prince was surprised to find that he had previously been very impressed with this country, The dissatisfaction and disdain of this castle and this king are disappearing at an incredible speed.

It's just that the prince didn't notice. The guards and cavalry behind him didn't feel this way. Beside the prince, a stout knight in red cloak with full body armor was staring at Angela on the stone steps in the distance. , Greedy, frightened, and obscene expressions surged in the depths of his eyes, and the dozens of guards and cavalry around the knight did not conceal the obscenity in their eyes at all.

Square on the edge.

No one noticed that under the shadow of the last stone statue of the worshiping crowd, three people in black cloaks were quietly hidden in the dim shadows. When they saw King Alexander and Angela coming out, the figure standing at the front suddenly let out a "huh" in a soft and weak voice, as if recovering from a serious illness. The tone seemed quite surprised. Such a performance, Jean stood behind him and the two looked at each other. They had never seen such a surprised expression from the person in front of them.

...

After the king and the future queen appeared, the carnival on the square finally stopped gradually.

The atmosphere began to look solemn and solemn, and the crowd was consciously making way for a passage. Fei and Angela walked down the high stone steps and walked slowly to the ten tents in the center of the square that were temporarily built with logs. Below the wooden tower.

The atmosphere became more dignified.

The continent of Azeroth has been at war since ancient times, and a large number of soldiers died on the battlefield every day. Burying these dead soldiers has become a huge time-consuming project and will cost a lot of money. In order to avoid this situation, the tradition of cremation and burning of soldiers and soldiers was formed long ago. Whether it is a king, aristocrat, a poor man or a slave, after the death in battle, they will be sent to the wooden tower for incineration. People believe that this way , the souls of the soldiers can be redeemed, and they will be with the God of War in the Kingdom of God.

According to the traditional etiquette knowledge that he had mastered with the help of Angela before, Fei walked up the ladder of the wooden tower, turned around and took golden coins from Angela's hand, and put them in the eyes of the soldiers who died in battle. On—this is also the tradition of Azeroth. People believe that covering the eyes of fallen soldiers with coins can help them reopen their eyes in the fire and find the correct path to heaven.

This is a tedious job.

Xiangbo City lost a total of 131 brave soldiers in this defense battle. Originally, there were special personnel to place coins for these soldiers who unfortunately died in battle, but Fei Fei unexpectedly insisted that all of this was done by He does it himself. According to the tradition, only nobles with noble status or heroes who have made contributions to the king are eligible to receive such treatment from the king. Fei's actions gave these ordinary soldiers unprecedented glory.

Obviously, this is another move by someone to win people's hearts.

There was no one talking in the square, and even the wind seemed to have stopped. Only a few women in black robes equivalent to temple priests on the stone steps of the main hall in the distance were singing an ancient and vicissitudes ballad loudly. It doesn't have any melody content, but it is sung in this continent, it is a spiritual song to send off relatives.

Under everyone's attention, Fei patiently covered the eyes of each fallen soldier with coins, and then personally ignited the vanilla under them with a torch. The fire raged and devoured the king's body , The families who lost their loved ones cried bitterly...

This process took an hour.

Afterwards, when the fire finally burned the soldiers' corpses and the ten wooden towers into ashes, the atmosphere in the square eased up, and the crying people stopped slowly, and the remaining ashes were laughed at by the soldiers and doctors. He calmed down and put it into a huge black coffin. After twelve days, this coffin will be buried by the highest peak of the mountain range on the east side of Xiangbo City on Yunshang, so that the souls of the warriors can be buried there. Seeing the beautiful sunrise on the horizon for the first time every day - this is the tradition of Xiangbo City itself.

After doing all this, the atmosphere in the square became cheerful and lively again.

People began to sing and dance to celebrate the victory of the war. The crazy atmosphere became hot with the burning bonfire in the middle of the square. Men, women, old and young held hands and danced. Even the soldiers guarding the square joined in the singing and laughing. In the crowd, Fei and Angela were also pulled into the crowd by some enthusiastic girls laughing. During the celebration, there was no distinction between high and low. The prince and the knight followers behind him were also invited to join the crowd.

The girls laughed and walked through the crowd holding high the plates full of fruits and roasted meat.

The little prince Tolbinski was infected by such an atmosphere. At this moment, he finally let go of all his previous arrogance and indifference, and looked more like his seventeen-year-old child's mood, holding hands with a group of boys and girls to besiege the city He ran and danced around the bonfire in a big circle, like a bird that had finally flown out of its cage, dancing happily.

However, neither Tolbinski nor anyone else noticed that the stout knight and cavalry in the red cape standing behind him laughed and crowded towards the very center of the square (83中文网)
