Kelandil, the capital of the German Empire. It was as shy and beautiful as a young girl. White marble buildings and clean streets were everywhere. Because of this, it was also known as the Holy City.
Derman Calendar, Third Era (also known as the Age of Heroes), July 20th, 1492.
Today was the first day of the Summer Celebration, and also the most glorious moment of the year in Kelandil. The entire summer celebration would last for a week. At that time, everyone in Galandier would be immersed in this grand carnival.
As for the origin of the Summer Celebration, people didn't care much about it anymore. What people cared more about was that in the following week, the king and his people would forget about their troubles, drink, and talk merrily.
The king of the German Empire was called Theoden the Great. He was a king who was loved and respected by his people. When Theoden was young, his heroic deeds were widely spread by bards and poets. He was generous, broad-minded, brave, and resourceful. He had gone through fire and water with two legendary warriors, and had gone deep into all kinds of sensational ancient ruins. There, he had killed monsters and gotten rid of evil for the people. He had also led thousands of troops on expeditions. All of this was so that his people could live a peaceful and stable life.
Therefore, on Theoden's thirtieth birthday, the ministers proposed that the week of Theoden's birthday be the Summer Celebration, to commemorate the past glory and victories.
Since then, this time of year had become a day that people looked forward to. This was because during this week, people didn't have to work and could enjoy themselves to the fullest.
This year, the Summer Celebration came as usual.
Just this morning, Theoden The Great summoned his people in front of the Hero Palace. Tens of thousands of people were waiting in the square in front of the Hero Palace to see Theoden The Great. The people were enthusiastic and devout. In their eyes, Theoden The Great was their god.
Although Theoden The Great was getting on in years, he was still as handsome as ever. After all, this was his 60th birthday. He had been in power since he was 20 years old, and it had been 40 years since then. It could be said that he had dedicated his life to the Empire and to the people who loved him.
Standing beside Theoden The Great was the beautiful Queen, also known as Queen Darlina. Queen Darlina's beauty was unmatched by any other queen in the past because of the noble elven blood flowing in her body. She was a mix of human and High Elf. Although she was over thirty years old, she looked like a young lady in her early twenties. Her beauty was pure and holy, and it made people yearn for her.
Perhaps only such a beautiful empress was worthy of such a valiant emperor. They had a child, Prince Kaiser.
In front of the magnificent Hero Palace, the 60-year-old Theoden The Great waved his hand warmly to his people. The audience was silent. Then, he spoke into a microphone made of stone.
"My dear people, welcome to this year's Summer Celebration. No matter where you come from, tonight we will party all night. Let the flowers and wine, the beauties and the dancing, and the delicious food accompany you for the next week! "
The square was silent for a moment. Then, thunderous applause came from the tens of thousands of people in the square.
Just like that, this year's Summer Celebration officially began.
First, the inspection of the Imperial Guards began in the square in front of the Hero Palace.
This was a legendary troop made up of thousands of people. They were all elites in the army. They wore bright red battle uniforms, silver armor, and weapons. All of their weapons and equipment were brand new and shiny.
At the front of the troop were infantrymen holding flags. They were burly and wore silver armor, bright red cloaks, and snow-white feathers on their helmets. This made the onlookers' blood boil. Back in the day, Theoden The Great had led such a mighty troop to conquer and expand the territory.
In the middle of the troop were tall and strong cavalrymen. They were riding on white horses with exquisite saddles. They looked majestic and holy. People couldn't help but admire their training.
At the back of the troop were archers. Both the crossbows and the bows in their hands were made of the best materials. These people had sharp eyes and agile movements. They deserved to be the best archers of the empire.
When the mighty Imperial Guards walked slowly in front of the people, they couldn't control their emotions and cheered loudly.
"Long live Theoden The Great! Long live the German Empire! "
Then, all kinds of festive floats drove past the square. There were all kinds of performances on them. It was colorful and gorgeous. The people also used their own methods to express their love for Great Emperor Therodon.
All in all, the whole of Kelandil was immersed in the joy of the festival.
That night, a grand banquet was held in the Hero Palace.
Bright candlelight crackled. Delicious wine and delicacies were displayed on the long table. On both sides of the long table sat all the lords from the various provinces of the German Empire. There were a total of eleven lords. Some of them were highly respected people in various fields. The rest were the ministers of the palace.
"Theoden The Great! Theoden The Great! Theoden The Great! "
Amidst everyone's cheers, Theoden The Great walked from the back of the hall to the main seat. The beautiful Empress Darlina also sat on the throne made of gold.
Great Emperor Syorton paused his throat, causing everyone present to stop their clamor.
"My dear lords, let's drink to our hearts' content tonight. We won't rest until we're drunk!"
"Oh, long live Theoden The Great!"
Then, the banquet began. First, there were strippers from the Haruz Province. Next, there were topless wrestling performances from the Kurut Province. Then, there were clown magic performances from the Derman Province. Finally, there were beast-taming performances from the Northland Province.
In short, the banquet went on in a cheerful atmosphere.
"My Empress, give me a cup of honey wine." At this moment, Theoden The Great didn't have the glory he had in the morning. Instead, he looked more like a funny old man.
Empress Darlina didn't want to be ordered around in front of so many people, even if the other party was the Emperor of the Reich. However, she still handed a golden ivory cup of honey wine to Theoden. Theoden took her into his arms.
There was a lot of cheering below the stage. At this moment, everyone was a little drunk. Many lords were playing with the bodies of the strippers. Moreover, there were also some highly respected people who were doing some improper things with the palace maids.
However, Darlina pushed away Theoden who wanted to be intimate with her. Theoden wasn't angry. Instead, he hugged Darlina's waist tightly and buried his head in her snow-white chest. The more Darlina struggled, the more the crowd cheered.
The hero Theoden The Great no longer existed. At this moment, he was more like the pervert Theoden.
The banquet went on in a licentious atmosphere. There were scattered food, wine in glasses, and nobles in disheveled clothes.
At this moment, in a place called the Mountain of Death, a pair of red eyes were looking towards the south. He whispered in a complicated dragon language. He spread his black wings, and his huge body was enough to make people tremble. Yes, he was a dragon. He would bring endless destruction …
