Chapter 111 Onlookers are also power
Da! The horse's hooves were neatly hitting the stone slabs, making the soldiers in line secretly nervous with the sound of the horse's hooves.
Hughes mustered up his courage and stride forward.
"Stop!" The carriageman suddenly raised his head and raised his left hand.
Then in an instant, the city gate suddenly became quiet, and the steel knights were all quietly guarding on both sides. Not only the knights, but also the war horses under them made no noise.
Hughes couldn't help it anymore and knelt on the ground and said without daring to look up: "The villain is the defense officer of the East Gate City. Please ask the adults to provide customs clearance documents so that the villain can register and pass."
"Get up." A faint male voice spit out from the coachman's mouth.
Hughes raised his head in a trance, and then saw the coachman smiling at him.
The coachman wore a delicate silver mask on his face, and his face was invisible, but he was dressed in an extremely decent set of noble clothes. The three orchid emblems painted on it made Hughes a little confused.
He racked his brains, but he could not have imagined who would use three orchids as heraldry emblems.
"Okay, my housekeeper, when we first arrived in the imperial capital, everything should be done according to other people's rules. Since others have lined up to welcome us, how can we miss the procedures?" A gentle female voice came from the carriage.
The coachman and the butler turned around and bowed and said softly: "I understand, my master."
The conversation between the two made the soldiers in line feel relieved.
"Look, this is the real aristocratic demeanor, which is different from those nouveau riche! You can understand others' difficulties and be considerate of others."
Hughes received the ID certificate from the other party.
Then the face changed drastically!
"What a joke? Earl Perrin...Sir Claya, the direct heir?"
"The protagonist of today's inheritance ceremony?" Hughes looked at the carriage in awe, but! A doubt arose in his heart. It's impossible. As the heir of the earl, how could he arrive at the imperial capital today?
"Get out! We must go to the city immediately! The inheritance ceremony is about to begin." The coachman shouted.
Hughes looked uneasy and hurriedly stepped back. He had decided not to care about this muddy water. Anyway, no one could blame him in the current situation.
He returned to the queue and saluted, pulled out the only valuable knight sword on his body and whispered: "Welcome~~ Sir Claya, the direct heir of the great and holy Earl Perrin~!"
"Drink!" The soldiers puffed up and shouted with their heads raised and their chests raised.
Suddenly, the luxurious carriage and sixty steel knights lined up in an orderly manner into the city.
"Reward you!" The coachman threw out a small bag and smashed it into Captain Hughes's hand.
When the convoy left, Captain Hughes opened it a little crampedly and couldn't help but suddenly become dry. The small bag was filled with nearly fifty gold coins. For the small officials like them, this was a huge sum of money!
A city defense soldier has only half a gold coin and a bag of wheat every month, and even so, he often does not pay in full. At the same time, he can get 10 months of salary in December every year. Looking at the entire empire, it is also a good place to make a good fortune!
The emperors all have developed transportation and the great vitality brought by millions of people. When such a convoy set foot on the street, it inevitably attracted countless people to watch. The soldiers on the street desperately wanted to maintain order, but at the same time they were also curious about whose convoy was this, which was so gorgeous and imposing.
"Hey! Look, that's the Three Orchid Emblem! It's the convoy of Count Clayjan!"
A knowledgeable businessman shouted loudly.
"Ah! That's the Perrin family's convoy? It's worthy of being the founding father."
"But... it shouldn't be. Isn't it the inheritance ceremony today? They came too late, they can't be liars."
Another businessman sneered: "I don't know! Look at the steel knights and look at the luxurious carriages. For such a grand lord, when did we see this kind of style? "
"Do you think the king will become a relative with the farmer? So what if someone's strength is to become a king in such a convoy? Can't he be a grand duke?"
"This! It's too exaggerated." Another ordinary man retorted in a low voice.
"So I said you are a layman." The merchant narrowed his eyes and said sharply: "Look at the armor of those knights, it is not only beautiful, but I guess its practicality is far beyond our most exquisite knight armor. When they look at their war horses, they are also first-class horses."
"And look at these knights, people and horses are actually one. The 60 knights act like one person! God, I have been doing business for fifty years and traveled to more than 30 countries. Except for the Holy Knights of Light that I have seen in the temple of the beast god, there is no other country that has such a knight."
"Earl of Clayya!"
"It's the Earl of Clayja! Earl of Perrin!"
The people's cry seemed to have played a role. The roof of the carriage could be slowly opened. Then, as the owner of the carriage, Claya actually stood up and showed her beautiful face, raised her right hand and waved to the masses.
At this time, Claya had obviously put on light makeup, making her more noble and holy. A smile on the corner of her mouth, a faint halo flashed across her snow-white skin. Her decent, gorgeous and precious milky white dress also won the favor of many people.
Of course, what made these people even more crazy was the coachman wearing a silver-white mask who sprinkled gold coins at these people from time to time.
"This is all rewarded by Count Clayjan to you!"
"Today is the inheritance ceremony. After the ceremony, everyone can get a gift from the Perrin Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the best white bread, there is also a commemorative medal forged with gold!"
Such words were spread not only through the butler, but also through the inciteers hidden in the crowd.
In addition, the rumors that had already taken root and sprouted among the crowd very early on, people chose to believe that although they did not know what the commemorative medal was, they knew about white bread! That was a good thing, a high-end food that only nobles could enjoy.
And the commemorative medal! That's made of gold! No matter what, it should be no problem to use it as a gold coin flower!
You have money and can watch dramas!
Such temptation made the onlookers excited as if they had taken stimulants. They shouted the name of the Count that Clayya had not inherited, submerged the pitiful number of city defense soldiers, followed the convoy and walked towards the Royal Grand Theater, where they were targeted!
"What's going on! Riot?" The Royal Knights guarding at the entrance of the Grand Theater looked at the endless sea of people in front of the street with pale faces.
They all held the knight's sword tightly.
Mosey, the leader of the Royal Knights, is an old knight in his seventies, wearing silver-white patterned armor, and with white hair, he is still heroic and extraordinary when riding on the war horse.
As the leader of the Knights, he naturally has his own ability. Not only does his fighting spirit reach nine stars, but his two sons have reached seven stars. What makes him even more happy is his grandson. At the age of 22, he has successfully reached six stars and has great hope of inheriting his position.
This is also one of the reasons why he promised Duke Mos to take Nakreya to Duke Mos's mansion as much as possible instead of handing it over to the Perrin family. He needs to seek a bright future for his descendants.
However, when facing the people ahead who shouted the name of Claya and the luxurious carriage convoy that made him feel unbelievable, the leader of the Royal Knights also felt hesitant.
"Could this be the real strength of the Perrin family? In the past, Claya was just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?"
"My father, let me arrest the fake Claya liar."
A knight who is also a royal knight but also Mosey's second son whispered, saying, for his future, he knew that this incident must be successful.
"Be careful, I see this with a strange look." Commander Moxi frowned. He sent his son and more than 20 royal knights. Including the knight attendants, the team of nearly 100 people barely formed a line of defense.
"Stop! The heirs of the Perrin family have already entered the venue. You are so brave that you dare to gather together to cause trouble! Do you want a riot?" The Royal Knight took the lead and shouted angrily.
Claya looked at the knight and said firmly, "Heir? As a direct line, I have not been present. Is there any more legal heir?"
The Royal Knight was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the girl was so bold, but he had to hold on and continued: "Creya? Ha! Who can prove that you are Creya!"
The Royal Knight was proud of his heart. He knew that under the power of Duke Mos, no noble in this emperor dared to help Claya, and even those who recognized her would not dare to recognize her at this time.
"I have the certificate issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and the suicide note left by my father, former Earl Perrin." Claya said, showing the others his two evidence.
Under the clamor of those who are interested, the crowd seemed even more excited. They supported Claya, which made the situation obviously tilted towards Claya's side.
What a joke, if such noble women are liars, then this liar is too clever! And more importantly, if Clayya doesn't become the earl, will there be those white bread and those gold coins?
People started to clamor, making the scene even more lively.
The driver snapped his fingers, and a neighing sound of war horses sounded. Sixty steel knights drove the war horses to lift their front hooves, and then hit the stone road in a uniform manner.
The spear tilted slightly, aiming at the Royal Knights.
The Royal Knight who was in the forefront drew out the knight's sword: "What are you doing! Do you want to rebel?"
That's what it said, but the knights and knight attendants behind the knight couldn't help but take a few steps back due to the other party's murderous aura, and the formation suddenly became messy.
The Royal Knight should have been the Knights of the Frontier Army or regular legion, but over the years, the source of the Royal Knight has long become a place where the second sons of various nobles compete for entry. The knights here have military power, but very few people have experienced battle formations, and the knights who are willing to fight to death for glory... Ahha, the weather is so good today, so it is easier to count how many tadpoles there are in the pond in spring...
The masters were so unbearable, not to mention the knight attendants. To put it nicely, they were the servants of the knights, and to be naughty, they were a group of servants following the nobles, and they were easy to oppress the civilians. When they met a mighty knight like the Iron Knight, they suddenly became impotence.
"We are the spear of the empire, and we are the shield of the empire! We are the knights with glory and courage!"
The Iron Knights trotted one after another and shouted in unison: "Long live the empire!"
The human knights replaced the order with the empire and sang together, which was quite consistent with the principles of the Kingdom of Noah.
The royal knights, who were scared to the point of pale face, quickly scattered in all directions. The formation was scattered and surrounded by the onlookers and submerged in the vast ocean of the people.
Even the royal knight, the son of Mosey, took a few steps back at that moment. When he reacted, he was so angry that he tried to resist. Who knew that the driver was faster and appeared behind him in an instant. A hand knife hit the knight who was attracted by the charge of the steel knights and had forgotten his defense.
The knight was hit hard and almost fainted. Before he could react, the coachman carried the man and the horse in one hand, and threw the man and his horse into the distance with empty hands.
"Hiss... so fast speed, so strong power!" Commander Moxi was ashamed of his subordinates, but he was secretly amazed at the power of the coachman. For the steel knights, he also sincerely praised: "What a good cavalry!"
Commander Moxi had eyesight. He saw that these steel knights had no sense of mind. They were probably at level 4 cavalry, and they were not considered real elite knights, but they were all real good cavalry! Their heroic posture even made Commander Moxi think of the guard knights who were victorious around His Highness the Marshal whom he was very awe-inspiring at the time. Only those knights who crawled out of the Shura Field could have the momentum of these cavalrymen in front of him.
It’s a pity... His Highness the Marshal was dead, and the guards were also destroyed in the same corrupt army.
The coachman was naturally Lin Tian. He smiled faintly when he did all this, returned to the carriage and looked around him, nodded slightly. The layout of the week seemed to have not been in vain today.
The Iron Knights are worthy of being a cavalry built by Lin Tian based on huge funds. They are probably considered the best honor guard knights in the world. They are mighty, beautiful, and full of strong aristocratic feelings.
Perhaps the only one who can surpass them is themselves. According to the system introduction, the champion knights are more gorgeous than these human knights!
This carriage is also his own hard work. It was made by the blacksmith of the City of Dawn. Not only did it cost more than 1,000 gold coins, but it also took a lot of time to carve the design. Lin Tian originally planned to make a fortune at auction, but unexpectedly, it was because of the task that Kreya enjoyed it first, but it was okay, even if he had a free advertisement.
As for the inciteers who spread rumors, Lin Tian was a little proud. He arranged it according to the textbooks of the Earthlings, and only spent some gold coins. Now it seems that it is finally useful in this world!
Lin Tian glanced at the people who were flooding the royal knights.
Whispering to himself:
Chapter completed!
