(Third Update of the Day)
The 160th chapter "Lance of Longinus"
By the time the 10,000 garrison troops arrived at the right side of the central square, they were already spotted by the rebel outpost. Upon receiving the report, the Crown Prince's face turned ashen!
The ten thousand guards charged into the square and immediately surrounded the First Prince's rebel army.
On the left side of the central square was the Holy Order, while on the right side was the garrison troops. More importantly, the sudden appearance of the 10,000 garrison troops at the front of the palace, at least in terms of numbers, reversed the disadvantage of the royalists.
Naturally, no matter how hard the First Prince racked his brains, he could not figure out why these guards, who had been firmly under his control, would suddenly appear here. Moreover, he was sure that the people he had sent to do this were all his trusted subordinates who had been his subordinates for many years …
Earl Raymond let out a long sigh. Looking at the distant Prince Son on top of the wall, this military official's confidence has been completely wiped out. Suddenly turning to Captain Alpha, he whispered: "Alpha, we've lost."
With that said, Earl Raymond came to the side of the Crown Prince. Looking at the ashen face of the Crown Prince, a trace of disdain appeared in his heart. Straightening his body, he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, now concentrate all our forces and immediately attack the garrison. Break through them, and then … leave the city. There's still a chance to make a comeback!"
The Crown Prince's eyes were empty, as if he didn't hear Earl Raymond's words. He just nodded blankly, but then his eyes suddenly changed, becoming ferocious as he suddenly shouted: "Impossible! I don't believe it! How can I lose?! "
With that, he shouted: "I still have 1000 elite cavalry! Humph! How can those motley crew of the garrison army be my match!
The Crown Prince seems to have lost his mind. The 1000 elite cavalry troops under his command were painstakingly built over the years. Among them, there are many powerful Knight's among them. He shouted: "Raymond, I will give you 500 men. You go and stop the garrison troops for me! I will personally lead my men to attack the palace, I don't believe I will fail! "
Earl Raymond no longer said anything and only sighed.
Won't fail?
Almost half of Jean Claude's ten thousand rebels had been killed or injured. The strength of the Holy Order was not to be underestimated. At this moment, on the square, there were only about 6,000 of Jean Claude's City Guards on his side. In addition to the forces he had gathered from the city, there were another 2,000. In addition to the First Prince's one thousand cavalrymen and the guards of the nobles on his side, he could barely gather one thousand. There were ten thousand people in total … How could it be easy to deal with the Holy Order, ten thousand guards, and the Royal Palace?
It was at this moment that the palace gates in the distance suddenly opened, revealing only Prince Son. He slowly walked out with a long object in his hand. The object was wrapped in a layer of black silk cloth and appeared to be very heavy. From the silhouette, it looked like an astonishingly long spear.
This sudden unforeseen event caused everyone to be stunned. With a smile on his face, Prince Son slowly walked out of the palace gates. Less than a hundred meters in front of him were the rebel soldiers under General Jean Claude. However, this prince didn't seem to be afraid at all. Stopping his steps, he gently placed the black silk cloth wrapped object on the ground.
For a moment, everyone was at a loss. They didn't know why this prince suddenly came out of the palace.
The rebel soldiers also didn't pay much attention to the prince's actions. They were hesitating whether or not they should take this opportunity to kill this prince.
"The first clause of the Knight's Declaration … …" Prince Son's calm voice suddenly spread across the entire square. Obviously, he had cast a wind elemental sound transmission spell. That clear and warm voice clearly fell into everyone's ears:
"Knight's Declaration, the first article: I swear in the name of my soul that 'loyalty' will be my life's most respected character. I will abide by my heart and will have no regrets! If I go against this, may the 'Spear of Knight' abandon my soul! "
"Knight's Declaration, the second article: I swear in the name of my soul that 'honor' will be more important than my life! I will defend my honor and the honor of Knight! I will have no regrets! If I go against this, may the 'Spear of Knight' abandon my soul! "
"Knight's Declaration, the third article: I swear in the name of my soul that I will always remember the word 'sacrifice'. I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life! I will have no regrets! If I go against this, may the 'Spear of Knight' abandon my soul! "
"Knight's Declaration, the fourth article: I swear in the name of my soul that 'courage' will always be in my heart. 'Courage' will be my standard. I will move forward courageously with no regrets! If I go against this, may the 'Spear of Knight' abandon my soul! "
"The fifth clause of the Knight's Declaration: I swear in the name of my soul that I will show mercy to the weak. Cruelty is my enemy, tolerance is my friend. With a heart of 'mercy', I will have no regrets in my life! If I go against this, may the 'Spear of Knight' abandon my soul! "
"Knight's Declaration, the sixth article: I swear in the name of my soul that I will maintain the fusion of my spirit and soul. My spirit is my soul and my soul is my life! I will have no regrets! If I go against this, may the 'Spear of Knight' abandon my soul! "
"Knight's Declaration, the seventh article: I swear in the name of my soul that I will always be 'honest'. As a Knight, my words will always be honest with my soul. Lies will be my greatest enemy and disdain. I will have no regrets! If I go against this, may the 'Spear of Knight' abandon my soul! "
"Knight's Declaration, the eighth article: I swear in the name of my soul that I will always remember 'justice'. My heart is the embodiment of balance. My sword will always point to injustice. I will have no regrets! If I go against this, may the 'Spear of Knight' abandon my soul! "
This Knight's Declaration was deeply remembered by every warrior on the continent who had the qualifications to be a Knight. Every person who had the qualifications to be a Knight had knelt down and recited it when they first obtained the identity of a Knight.
The purpose of this Knight's Declaration was to let everyone who was a Knight to remember the eight qualities of a Knight: loyalty, honor, sacrifice, courage, compassion, spirit, honesty, and justice.
Although the magic civilization on the Roland Continent was flourishing, the Knight's era was far older than the magic civilization. Before the magic civilization was so prosperous, the Knight was once the ruler of the continent!
Legend has it that during that era, the Knight's Association's status was far more important than the Magician's Guild's status on the continent! The Knight's Association was everywhere on the continent. It was a sacred place that was comparable to Shrines in everyone's heart and was revered by everyone. Its status was incomparably high. Every knight would be respected by the civilians from the bottom of their hearts.
However, with the passage of time, the status of a magician on the continent was far higher than that of a warrior. The Knight's era had long passed. The most important thing was that with the passage of time, the Knight's eight qualities had gradually been forgotten … Although every Knight's Declaration would recite it, there were very few people who could truly abide by the Knight's spirit. Most of the so-called "Knight's" were only strong in martial arts, but their spirit was heterogeneous.
The real reason, in addition to the prosperity of magic and the weakness of the Knight's power, was the most important reason: The current Knight's oath when they received the badge no longer had any binding effect on them!
When a magician made an oath, they would automatically leave a magic mark, such as the "First Iron Law". If the oath was violated, then the corresponding punishment would be inevitable!
But now, those Knight's Declaration often didn't mean what they said. Outside of the Knight's Association, there would often be people who would commit atrocities and bully the weak. In addition to the loss of spiritual faith, even if one were to violate the contents of the Declaration, there would be no corresponding punishment. This was the biggest reason for the decline of the Knight's spirit!
Without the power to restrain them, decay is natural!
Prince Son's face was incomparably serious as he gently swept his eyes across the square. Whether it's the rebel army or the royalist faction, there were countless people who held the title of Knight. When they suddenly heard this prince reciting the eight qualities of the Knight's Declaration, they couldn't help but have a strange expression on their face. They didn't know what this prince was trying to do, but there were some who didn't change their expression, but secretly felt disdain towards the so-called eight qualities … …
"If I violate it, may the 'Knight's Spear' abandon my soul!!" Prince Son suddenly whispered this sentence, then paused for a moment before repeating it again: "May the 'Knight's Spear' abandon my soul!" Sweeping his eyes back and forth, he gently smiled: "Today, how many people still abide by these eight qualities? Everyone, Sir Knight? "
The 'Knight's Spear' … …
According to legend, during the Knight's era, the most powerful weapon of the Knight was a legendary spear. Possessing unparalleled power, it was the strongest weapon left behind by the gods. Every Knight must swear an oath to the 'Knight's Spear' that their soul mark will be left on it! If the oath is violated, the 'Knight's Spear' will strip away the soul mark of the violator. After death, the violator's soul will drift across the continent as a sorrowful soul, enduring eternal loneliness and gloomy punishment.
With the punishment of the 'Knight's Spear' hanging above their heads, there were very few Knights who dared to violate their oath!
Unfortunately, no one knows when, where, or why, but the mysterious' Knight's Spear 'has long been buried in the river of history. No one knows where the' Knight's Spear 'is, or when it was lost. Some even believe that the gods have taken back this powerful weapon.
After that, the decline of the Knight's spirit began. Without the threat of punishment, the knights no longer needed to leave their soul imprints on the legendary knight's spear when they swore their oaths. They also didn't need to worry about being punished by the knight's spear if they were to break their oaths. Therefore, the spirit of knights had been decaying from generation to generation, which eventually led to the current situation.
At this moment, Prince Son was standing in front of the city gate with the smell of blood wafting in the air. For him to suddenly speak of the Knight's spirit and oath, one couldn't help but feel a little strange. Then, this prince slowly tore off the black silk cloth covering the long object beside him, revealing its appearance … …
It's a golden spear shaped like an enlarged cross. Standing on the ground, this golden cross spear is even taller than Prince Son himself. The body of the spear shines with a strange light, but the head of the spear is faintly broken. The cross on the tip of the spear seems to be missing a small section. And if one were to look closely, they would notice that there are many terrible scratches on the handle. If some of the scratches were just a little deeper, this golden cross spear would've long been split in half!
With this golden cross spear exposed to everyone's eyes, for a moment, everyone in the square stopped breathing! Tens of thousands of eyes stared at the golden cross spear in Prince Son's hand. After a long time, no one dared to make the slightest sound!!
At the same time, without any warning, from both sides, whether it's the rebels or the royalists, countless people suddenly ran out from their ranks and kneeled down on one knee. Facing Prince Son from afar, these Knight's with different ranks of badges on their chests all lowered their heads. Trembling all over, their eyes were filled with fanaticism and devotion. This posture is even more fanatical than the most fanatical religious believer!
Even Captain Alpha, who was standing behind Earl Raymond, has fallen off his horse. Due to his leg injury, he didn't even care about it and crawled to the ground. At this moment, this important minister of the Rollin House was looking at Prince Son with tears in his eyes.
"Alpha!" Earl Raymond's face changed color: "You … …"
"Earl." Alpha looked up with a trembling body and took a deep breath: "That is the Holy Spear! The real Holy Spear! The Spear of the Knight! "
The Spear of the Knight, Golden Cross Spear, Holy Spear … … At the same time, it also has a sacred name in the hearts of the Knight:
The Spear of Longinus!

Standing on top of the city wall, Du Wei retracted his gaze from the kneeling Knight and sighed … …
The Crown Prince has already lost.
