Chapter VII(2/2)

Just when the high emotions in the square reached its peak, the magnificent march came to an abrupt end.

Before people had time to be surprised, neat war drums sounded around the square. The deep and deep drum sounds gathered continuously and spread among the crowd. The drum beats changed from gentle to dense, always keeping close to the pulse of the people watching, vibrating.

Everyone's heartstrings can't help but make people's blood surge, and they can't help but become one with the sound of the war drums.

Sixty huge war drums, after a short period of silence, pushed the people's emotions to a new level. With such a grand foreshadowing, everyone naturally knew that the people appearing next would not be ordinary troops. Especially those sitting on the viewing platform

The foreign envoys opened their eyes one by one, fearing that they would miss any part.

With the sound of neat horse hooves, the leading cavalry phalanx came down the street. The entire phalanx was a solemn black. The soldiers were dressed in black and had black armor. Even the horses under their crotches were black. It was this large piece of black.

, but it makes the only bit of silver in the square stand out particularly eye-catching - the only bit of silver is the tip of the spear!

Most people don't know what's special about these cavalry. Ordinary people at most think that these cavalry are handsome. Only those who understand military affairs, especially those who have dealt with these troops, understand how terrifying this kind of cavalry is.

place.

"Assault cavalry! Your Highness, they are assault cavalry!" Severik Lando stood up involuntarily, his voice changing slightly: "Look at their equipment, they are completely prepared for combat!"

Severk Lando, who is an important minister of Sbia's neighboring country, has long known the name of this kind of cavalry. At the end of the rebellion war, the heavy armored troops of the Pota Empire supporting the rebels were driven back to their hometown by a small group of assault cavalry.

The tragic scene of his own army abandoning their armor is still fresh in Severik Lando’s memory.

"Standard lance, extended sword, powerful crossbow, light armor, black blouse..." He recited the equipment on the cavalry silently, and remembered them one by one. The relationship between the empires was very delicate, and there was no telling when there would be a stalemate.

, these things can be used.

Seeing him looking so serious, the prince next to him couldn't help but find it funny. It seemed that during the war against rebellion, the Pota Empire suffered a lot at the hands of His Majesty Cohen.

"Sit down! You will block other people's view." The prince kindly reminded: "Don't look too excited."

"Sorry, I'm rude." Sevik sat down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder, but Your Highness, don't you care about these troops?"

"I have been in the military all my life and have seen many types of military services. I can't say I care about this cavalry." The prince smiled: "We are waiting. I think the generous His Majesty Cohen will come up with something good for us to see."

The prince was not unconcerned. He had carefully studied the military strength of Cohen's men. The reason why he was not worried about the cavalry was because no matter how powerful the cavalry was, it would be impossible for them to fight all the way to the Tansi Empire over the mountains alone.

In the previous war, the troops sent by the Tansi Empire to join the rebels were actually defeated by the assault infantry.

It sounds funny. The Tanxi Empire army, which is famous for its infantry in the mainland, would be defeated by Sbia's assault infantry. However, this is an indisputable fact. Even the prince himself cannot figure out the specific reason, because

There were only a few soldiers who could escape with their lives and escape back to the Tansi Empire. And among the soldiers who escaped, none had ever fought head-on with the Sibia assault infantry.

At the moment, this assault infantry, which defeated the Tansi Empire army, is walking behind the assault cavalry phalanx. The neat formation, vigorous pace, and unswerving firm eyes all demonstrate the excellent qualities of this unit.

The prince straightened his body and looked at the troops with seemingly casual eyes. He first looked at the soldiers' weapons, then the armor, shields, and even the shoes. While observing, he looked at it in his heart.

He was thinking: If he had such an army, what kind of tactics would he use to defeat the infantry of the Tansi Empire...

"Your Highness, there is one thing I don't understand." Sevik leaned his head over and said softly: "It is said that an army of thousands is easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find. But we all understand how valuable well-trained soldiers are.

"His Majesty Cohen has not been in the army for a long time, and his time to become famous is even shorter, but why does his army have such combat effectiveness?"

"Why are you asking me?" The prince smiled slightly.

"Prince, you were once the commander of His Majesty Cohen!" Sevik blinked: "And at that time, the prince's care for His Majesty Cohen was well known to everyone. Without the prince's care, who could seize military supplies?

After that, he left in a swaggering manner? Shouldn’t he have had his head chopped off earlier?”

"I am in charge of more than one Ninth Legion, and His Majesty Cohen trained the troops under your nose. Why do you ask me about it?" The prince kicked the question back: "Speaking of care, as a person

Commander-in-Chief, it’s not surprising that you cherish your generals. Young people! There are always times when you don’t think well.”

"I am also a young man! And I was once a subordinate of His Royal Highness..."

"Speaking of such rogue methods, His Majesty Cohen is a pioneer, you are just a learner, and you do not have His Majesty Cohen's other advantages." The prince commented on him angrily: "You should observe it yourself and look at these soldiers.

equipment, then look at what His Majesty Cohen is wearing, and finally look at what other members of the royal family are wearing.”

"It's just that the costumes of the royal family members are a little simpler, and the equipment of the troops is a little better..." Sevik looked around: "His Royal Highness is right, when I return home after finishing my work, I will go to the original ninth place."

Let’s go to the legion’s training camp for inspection to see what methods His Majesty Cohen uses to train the troops.”

"I wish you success..." Before the prince finished his joking words, he heard a huge noise in the square, but immediately, a loud horn sound calmed the panic in the crowd.

"What's wrong?" Sevik stood up again and immediately exclaimed: "Prince! Look at the sky!"

In the sky, a fiery red dragon was flying steadily over. From the analysis of its flight route and speed, this dragon was also part of the military parade. When it was about to fly over the square, it was dragging a side of the Sibia army behind it.

The flag slowly unfolded, and instantly, the crowd in the square burst into huge cheers!

Dragon! Flying dragon! Huge fiery red flying dragon! Belongs to Sbia's army!

Following the flying dragon were groups of winged men, a large black mass that almost occupied the entire sky.

"This, this is a big joke..." Sevik said to himself: "They actually released the dragons, how will things end!"

"What's so strange?" The prince on the side was not too surprised: "I heard that a red dragon appeared during the battle in the Holy Capital."

"But... that's a rumor! How do you explain this dragon now?" Sevik pointed at the giant dragon passing through the square: "What if the Gods blame it?"

"His Majesty Cohen has dealt with dragons in his early years. This is probably the dragon he saved!" The prince smiled slightly: "The gods will not make a fuss over a dragon, and they only have one dragon. They are not interested in war and the empire.

The help is very limited, it’s just a gimmick.”

"Really?" Sevik sat down and said, "Your Highness, nothing seems to shock you."

"I hope something will shock me. It's not a good thing to live a dull life."

Although the prince said this, envoys from other empires did not all think so. They had long heard that the Sibia Empire had flying troops, but no one could have imagined that they had such a scale. In addition, the shock that the flying dragon brought to them was extraordinary.

Generally... When the flying dragons and winged men in the sky flew proudly over the square, the messengers were all thinking about the same question: If they encountered such things on the battlefield, what would they do to resist them?

"Your Royal Highness...this..." Sevik said to the dazed envoys: "They may not think so."

"Keep your grace!" The prince calmed down and said, "The purpose of His Majesty Cohen's military parade has been achieved."

And at this moment, in a small alleyway that winds towards the square, a thin figure is trying to climb over a wall. In the exciting march music, this figure struggling to advance on the wall looks very clumsy...

...even, it can be said to be very funny.

"Ahhhh..."

Inadvertently, the thin figure fell down the wall, crushing a pile of abandoned earthen jars. Even the Wing Man who was monitoring the neighborhood from high altitude shook his head. The Wing Man had been monitoring this person for some time, and since he avoided

The tightly sealed road turned into an alley.

The thin figure coughed a few times, stood up in the diffuse dust, determined the direction, and "touched" toward the square again. At the same time, he also crossed the invisible cordon.

After sighing at this guy's good sense of direction, the winged man sent out a signal.

"Stand where you are and don't move." A cold voice sounded in the alleyway: "Child, you crossed the cordon. In the name of the emperor, I will temporarily detain you."

The thin figure was stunned for a moment, and then he determined that the "child" mentioned in the unknown voice referred to him. He stopped leaning forward, with a dark face and two light blue eyes looking forward.

From the looks of it, the whole person's posture is not ordinary funny.

A security guard came over and stretched out his hand to grab him.

With a cry of "Wow!", the guy cried loudly, two tears streaked down his cheeks, and the raging tears opened two "rivers" among the dust and stains, which shocked the security team member who was holding him.

When the security team members were stunned for a moment, the child rushed forward and ran along the courtyard wall of a house. When he was about to be caught for the second time, he had already slipped through the dog hole in the courtyard wall.

The security team members were so angry that they had to ask their companions to go around the front door and enter the courtyard to search.

The result of the search was - nothing was found. Of course, we cannot expect these inexperienced security team members to perform well. They only served as a warning.

The child's whereabouts are still under the control of Yi Ren. This kid is very naughty. He hides under a carriage and marches to the square unremittingly. However, he does not know that he has been carefully observed by many people on the way forward.

If he had weapons hidden on his person or anything that threatened the safety of others, he would have been tied up and sent to prison.

His motivation for approaching the square is puzzling.

The result of the request for instructions came. After receiving the report, the officer on duty only said one sentence: "Find the person behind it from a safe distance."

Finally, the guy panted and climbed up to a two-story building next to the square, staring at the marching team not far away in a daze. At this time, all the local legions had passed the reviewing stand, and walking in the distance were the guard phalanx and

Military Academy Square Formation.

The Royal Orchestra's performance stopped for a moment, and the orchestra members turned over the music scores in front of them to prepare for the next march.

The child reached into his arms and took out a scroll like "lightning". A faint white light flashed, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "I - want - to sue! I will sue Governor Velen..."

The sound stopped suddenly, but it wasn't because someone stopped him, it was because the scroll he was using had expired. He stared at the scroll in his hand with disbelief, and cried loudly again, this time he was really crying, sad.

Extremely.

Although it was only half a sentence, the child chose the right time. People in the square turned their heads and saw him being left under the arms of a tall soldier.

"Governor Velen..."

"Is someone going to report Governor Velen?"

"What's the charge? Did you hear clearly?"

Most of the people in the crowd were whispering, Governor Velen's name was spreading rapidly, foreign envoys made eye contact with each other, and Sbia officials looked at each other. There were only two people at the scene who were not affected by this incident.

One is Governor Velen, whose face is calm, and the other is His Majesty the Emperor standing on the reviewing stand.

Another march played, drowning out the noise in the square and drawing people's attention back to the military parade.
