Kaiser The Great turned his sharp eyes to Morse, the chief magic consultant of the Empire. At the same time, a maid beside him immediately went to hold up an exquisite umbrella made of animal skin for Kaiser The Great.
However, the people didn't have umbrellas. They could only stand there and take in the rain. Behind them were the Imperial City Defense Army and Alonso's army. Of course, the church had also sent knights to participate in the summer celebration.
Morse began to release magic in front of everyone. He tried his best, but he couldn't disperse the dark clouds. He had no choice but to release a magic barrier to protect the dignitaries and the square from the rain.
Kaiser The Great took out the script that the ministers had prepared for him. He was going to say a congratulatory speech to the people, just like his father.
"Beloved, my people. Thank you to the Seven Gods for giving us peace and tranquility. Thank you to the Seven Gods for giving us food and wine. In the next seven days … let us … erm … hold hands and eat together, drink and chat together. " Kaiser The Great didn't know that the "hold hands" that he had read out of desperation was actually just "hold hands".
Sparse applause could be heard from the square. However, when the soldiers approached, everyone present clapped with all their might, even though they were already drenched. They wished their hands would break from the applause.
Next, it was the inspection of the Imperial City Defense Army.
It was a team of less than a thousand people. They held Kaiser The Great's flag with a black lion on a red background and slowly walked through the square in front of the Hero Palace.
Walking at the front was the cavalry of the imperial guards. They wore black imperial armor and winged helmets on their heads. They held the flag of Emperor Keyes in their hands as they walked at the front.
The horses were uneven. Some were old, and some were young. The whole cavalry formation looked a little loose. The only thing that was a little shocking was the heads of the rebels that were hung on the horses as trophies. Those were real heads, which shocked everyone who saw them.
Darlina's heart stirred when she saw that, but she didn't show it. After all, she had people sent by Kaiser The Great to look after her.
The cavalry moved very slowly, and the infantrymen who entered the square after them were a little impatient.
Finally, it was their turn to go on stage. These Royal Guards were armed with long halberds and were also dressed in black armor. They were quite tall, and some of them even had big bellies.
The Royal Guards' footmen walked through the plaza in a rather orderly manner. At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so it was better for them to walk first.
When it was the turn of the archers, they were all drenched. Their armor was not as thick as the armor of the infantrymen. Fortunately, there was no rain when they walked through the magic barrier of the square, but many of them sneezed.
The commoners couldn't take it anymore because the rain was getting heavier and heavier. They had been drenched by the rain, and they didn't have any protection. They didn't dare to move because the Empire's soldiers were right behind them.
Finally, the boring military parade ended in the heavy rain.
The people were silent as they dispersed and returned to their homes. After closing the door, the Empire's soldiers couldn't possibly follow them home.
These days were really suffocating. It would be better to become a mute so that they could control their mouths and know what to say and what not to say. Alright, let's not talk about it anymore.
That night, in the magnificent Hall of Heroes, Kaiser The Great hosted a banquet to entertain the lords and nobles from all over the country, as well as those who had made outstanding contributions to the Empire.
Alonso learned from his father that his brother Joe's whereabouts were still unknown. It was very likely that he was still in the Kingdom of Northland, but it was also possible that he was dead.
Speaking of this, it was the most painful thing for his father during this period of time. It was even more troublesome for him than the loss in the confrontation with the North.
However, it wasn't until tonight's banquet that Alonso finally showed a slightly relaxed expression because today seemed to be a peaceful day.
Morse told Kaiser The Great that he was not feeling well, so he didn't attend the banquet and returned to his residence.
Naturally, it was inconvenient for the Pope to participate in this kind of thing, so he only sent some bishops, including the bishop who had escaped from Primordium Port. Of course, the people who attended the banquet were also some commanders of the Knights.
None of the people from the Magic Sanctuary came this year, which made Kaiser The Great very unhappy, but after all, they were not in Kelandil, and it was beyond his reach.
Next, the singing and dancing performances took turns, but there were no more exotic performances. There were only some women with good figures performing some unskilled dances.
"My lords, these are the untouchables, these are the sinful witches, and those are slaves. If you like them, you can enjoy them to your heart's content. They are like the food and wine on this table, you can do whatever you want with them." This time, Kaiser The Great spoke very smoothly.
Empress Darlina had long been taken back by Kaiser The Great's people to take good care of her.
Kaiser The Great held a woman with a big naked butt in each hand, and he bit her butt hard. A trace of blood and a scream echoed in the hall.
He opened his bleeding mouth and laughed loudly.
"Play however you want. Heroes of the empire, enjoy yourselves to your heart's content!"
In an instant, these high-ranking officials and dignitaries, who usually put on airs, took off their hypocritical masks and began to enjoy the food, wine, and beautiful women to their heart's content.
All kinds of voices echoed in the Hero Palace, which was unbearable to the ears.
Alonso was not interested in any of this. He left the Hero Palace. After all, he was not Kaiser The Great's personal bodyguard, so there was no need for him to stay by Kaiser The Great's side all the time. He had a lot of people around him who could protect Kaiser The Great.
Another day passed without any mishap? Alonso looked at the starry sky in the distance and sighed to himself.
Looking at the current situation in Kelandil, it was no longer worthy of being called a holy city. It was simply a mess.
The huge gap between the rich and the poor made the people at the bottom of the city live a life worse than pigs and dogs. Even Alonso could feel the invisible resentment of the people.
The heavy rain during the day had stopped. Seeing that there was nothing else to do that day, Alonso decided to go back to the barracks and take a rest.
Who would have thought that suddenly, the sky began to rain again.
In the dark night, the heavy rain made the streets muddy.
At the same time, in some dark corners of the city. Some masked men and women gathered together to plot something. They were not afraid of the heavy rain at all.
Seeing the heavy rain, Alonso decided to go back to the Hero Palace to take shelter. There was no need to go back to the barracks in the rain.
However, when he turned around and was about to go back to the Hero Palace, he seemed to see something moving in the dark grass.
