Chapter 35 The man who became a knight in only 24 days(2/2)
Alyssa looked at Su Cheng, who was slowly walking up to the emperor, with a complex expression. She, who had always been conceited and arrogant, found it difficult to accept the fact that Su Cheng defeated more with less and came back victorious.
And the way Enli looked at Su Cheng was similar to Alyssa's.
Soon, Su Cheng came to Ge Zewen, then knelt down on one knee, clenched his right hand into a fist and propped it on the ground, lowering his head.
Jacob took a piece of paper from the guard beside him, then unfolded it, looked at the paper and read aloud:
"Su Cheng, on August 10, 289 AD, led an army of 5,000 to defeat 30,000 rebels. He successfully beheaded the three leaders of the rebel army and brought them back. He put down the rebellion and made great contributions to the empire.
In gratitude for Su Cheng's contribution, he gave Su Cheng 8 million yinglang! And named Su Cheng "
Jacob put down the paper in his hand, took a deep breath, gathered his breath, and shouted loudly:
"New Knight of Laurel!"
…
silence.
eerily silent
The entire meeting hall became silent.
After everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, their eyes turned to Su Cheng, who was kneeling on one knee.
Everyone's expressions became wonderful and diverse, some were dumbfounded, and some were in disbelief.
Alyssa looked at Su Cheng with a shocked face, her seductive red lips slightly opened.
Enli murmured: "Impossible...how is this possible..."
And Iser crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and whispered: "I see... Jacob, have you helped me pull Su Cheng into the army... and also directly helped him become the new leader?"
Knight...this is really..."
Then, Iser smiled bitterly and shook his head.
…
After a brief silence, the entire meeting hall instantly became noisy.
"A new knight? Did I hear you correctly? Do you want to make this Su Cheng a new knight?"
"This can't be described as rising to the top in one step, right? Captain of the Ten-man Team, Captain of the Thousand-Man Team, and you haven't even done these positions for a day, and you directly became a knight?"
"Anyway, this promotion is too fast, isn't it? You only fought one battle and you were named a knight?!"
"It's only been 24 days since the day he started playing, right? It only took 24 days to become a knight? Who is the fastest person to become a knight among us now?"
"I remember it was Lord Iser's daughter Alyssa. She joined the army at the age of 15 and became a knight in 1 year and 10 months. She was the fastest person to become a knight before today."
"It seems that Alyssa's record has been broken! It took Alyssa 1 year and 10 months to become a knight, but Su Cheng only took 24 days to become a knight!"
"Becoming a knight in 24 days... Isn't this too exaggerated? I'm afraid no one can break this record in the future."
"The new Knight of Laurel is preceded by the Knight of Two Oaks, then the Knight of Orchid, the Knight of the Four Royal Guards, and finally the United Knight. It took Su Cheng 24 days to become the Knight of New Laurel. I don't know how long it will take for him to become the Knight of Double Oak in the future.
, is it possible to become a unified knight..."
…
The meeting hall became noisy, and conversations broke out one after another. Jacob frowned, stamped his feet, and then said:
"Quiet!"
After noticing the displeasure in Jacob's voice, the people talking obediently shut their mouths, and the entire meeting hall became quiet again.
Seeing the meeting hall becoming quiet again, Jacob nodded with satisfaction and then retreated behind Emperor Gozevin.
At this time, Ge Zewen had already received an exquisite-looking sword from the guard on the side.
A delicate long sword that is all white from the scabbard to the hilt.
Ge Zewen stood up and walked to Su Cheng.
"Then, Su Cheng." Jacob said, "please recite your oath of knighthood."
After learning that he needed to recite the knight's oath, Su Cheng opened his mouth and said loudly:
"I will protect those who cannot fight."
"I will destroy the evil one."
"I will withdraw my sword from the common people."
"I will be honest with my fellow citizens."
"I will defend the Britannian Empire to the death! Until the last drop of my blood is shed!"
Su Cheng had already memorized these five oaths last night. Before entering this meeting hall, he also reviewed these five oaths over and over again.
Yesterday, Jacob told him that when he was made a knight, he needed to shout out this oath. Jacob also specifically told him not to recite the wrong oath.
After hearing Su Cheng finish the oath, Ge Zewen pulled out the beautifully shaped sword in his hand with a "clunk" sound, flattened the sword and put it against Su Cheng's right shoulder.
"I am here to officially crown you as the new Knight of Laurel!"
After Ge Zewen shouted loudly, he put the sword back into the scabbard, then held the sword in both hands and raised it directly above Su Cheng's head.
Su Cheng also raised his hands in time and took the sword from above his head.
This is the last part of the knight's ceremony. Each knight will receive a sword from the emperor. This sword is of great significance to the knights. People call this sword "knight's sword", which is equivalent to
It is a symbol of status. Only with this sword that you received from the emperor can you be considered a true knight! If you accidentally make a mistake and are deprived of your status as a knight, this sword will also be used by His Majesty the Emperor.
Take it back.
Therefore, this sword is more important than life to some knights who value their reputation.
Su Cheng took the sword from Ge Zewen. At this point, the knight's canonization ceremony was over.
Su Cheng handed the sword to his left hand, then stood up and turned around to face the people in the meeting hall behind him.
Everyone in the meeting hall focused their attention on Su Cheng.
Suddenly, there was applause.
It was Iser who was applauding.
Iser looked at Su Cheng who was holding the knight's sword with a look of relief.
Iser's applause seemed so abrupt in the silent meeting hall.
However, people soon followed suit and applauded. The applause became louder and louder, and the applause spread quickly. Soon, everyone in the conference hall applauded, even Ge Zewen and Jacob
He was also smiling and applauding.
Alyssa, on the other hand, bit her lower lip while applauding gently. Although the applause was very small, it was so small that even the humming of mosquitoes was louder than her applause. Her face was full of unwillingness.
Alyssa loves her title of "the person who became a knight the fastest in the history of the Britannia Empire" very much. This is the title that she is most proud of and is also the most proud of.
However, she never expected that from today on, her favorite title would no longer belong to her.
From today on, this title belongs to the person she originally looked down upon.
When she thought of this, Alyssa felt strongly unwilling!
This emotion called "unwillingness" almost burst out from her chest.
At this time, Enli, who was standing next to Alyssa, not only did not applaud, but also looked quite bad.
Because at this moment, he suddenly remembered Alyssa's conditions for choosing a spouse: I am a knight, and I only want to find a husband who is also a knight in the future, but I will only like knights who are stronger than me!
Now... Su Cheng is also a knight...
Still a knight... who could defeat 30,000 people with 5,000 people without any experience, and became a new knight in just 24 days...
When he thought of this, a strong sense of uneasiness and fear enveloped Enli's whole body!
Enli raised his eyes and cast his eyes with a hint of resentment on Su Cheng, who was standing on the stairs.
In the conference hall, along with the applause, there were some cheers.
Everyone is celebrating, either sincerely or falsely, that the empire has a new knight, and that the empire has a rising star!
Su Cheng couldn't help but feel heroic after another as he listened to the torrential applause and cheers below. The corners of his mouth could not help but turn up slightly, and he couldn't help but hold the knight's sword harder with his five fingers.
, firmly grasping the knight sword in his hand!
I, Su Cheng, am now the new Laurel Knight of the Britannia Empire!
…
The Chronicle of the Britannia Empire records:
On September 3, 289 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire, Su Cheng was canonized as a new knight, breaking Alyssa's previous record of "the fastest to become a knight". The total time it took for Alyssa to become a new knight was
