In the limited hours, everyone in the Knights Academy was busy, and the servants put on their gorgeous protective gear for the master and the ladies as quickly as possible, and then they rushed to the competition ground to gather.
At this time, thousands of guards wearing silver uniforms, feathered helmets, and laser rifles on their shoulders surrounded the place.
Ribbons and flags were hung on each flagpole in the competition venue, and the trainee knights quickly entered from various entrances. When the huge soldier wearing gorgeous silver-gray power armor sat in the private room overlooking the competition venue, Sere was still in extreme shock.
This was the first time he saw a Space Marine, and it was the most shocking and shocking scene he had witnessed in his life, even more shocking than the first time he saw a Knight mecha.
That sense of magnitude, oppression and power is even far above the Knight Mecha. Although they are not as huge as the Knight Mecha, they bring a biting cold wind of war, as if they can bring people to the battlefield with fire at a glance.
And the one who was surrounded by them was even more heavyweight—
All the kings and powers that mortals have to look up to seem as small as ants in front of him. Even the most noble supreme king in this world can only be placed in the second place, just a little closer than those space warriors.
He sat on a huge throne, like a god king overlooking the earth. Sere could hear the excitement or shock of the people around him, and no one was shocked by this great and almost miraculous existence.
With Soshiyan's seat, the prepared band began to play the song "Ode to the Great Emperor", which is similar to the national anthem of the Empire. This hymn is a unique fusion product. It blends Yangchun Baixue and Xialiba people into one, but it is not chaotic. On the one hand, it is so solemn that it can be played with the loud sound of the Titan's war horn, and on the other hand, it is simple enough to make the soldiers who are completely illiterate in the primitive world hum softly. It is catchy and motivating enough. It has inspired countless morale of the besieged world, and hundreds of billions of soldiers were ignited by it, and they charge forward and turn the tide.
So, it is the most common track for any formal occasion in Empire.
Soshiyan was surrounded by countless applause and praise, and the luxurious room he was in was decorated with crimson leather and velvet, and there were patterns woven from gold and platinum wires, paying tribute to him in an excessive form.
The black uniforms worn by the trainee knights were as straight as military dresses, and the key parts were protected by metal armor. There were a total of 611 people, divided into 18 classes in three grades, and arranged in neat queues to face the viewing platform. In addition to the Space Marines, there were also nobles and many upper-class people.
Most of these more than 600 people are descendants of knights and nobles, and only a very small number are descendants of the confidant ministers of the Supreme King, and are also one of the few civilian students in the academy.
When the music ended, Soshyan stood up, which made him look even bigger, and when he opened his mouth, the sound could echo over the entire academy without the help of any equipment.
"Fifty years ago, when I first met Lord Olga, he was alone, alone, as a wandering Blade of Freedom appeared on the battlefield of Gages, surrounded by barbaric green-skinned aliens, in danger, but he still insisted on fighting and fighting to the death with the enemy in the most unfavorable circumstances. This made me realize the tenacious will and courage of the knights, which is no less than the character of the Space Marines. Fifty years later, I saw so many new knights who grew up hearing his name and stories. I think this may be a real comfort for Lord Olga, but I also hope you can remember that the glory of the knights is fought in battle, and blood can give you only qualifications. Even Astart, after implanting the gene seed, does not necessarily mean that he can become a qualified warrior. Only combat can prove everything!"
After he finished speaking, the etiquette officer began to read out the rules of the competition. Originally, formal competitions according to the knight's rituals often had complex and long rituals, but Soshiyan directly deleted all unnecessary rituals and simplified the rules.
First of all, although there are female knight students in the academy, only senior and middle-grade men are qualified to participate in the competition. This is a manifestation that the DuPont Delin family attaches more importance to men. The other two different grades are separately contested. Then the boys of the adopted sons of the Lord Olga must participate forcibly, and the rest will be voluntarily registered. The rules are arbitrary, that is, the students will first compete by driving the training mecha by using a gun charge. If the winner is not distinguished, they will be changed to melee weapon fighting until one side is completely knocked down.
Of course, since Soshiyan made such a request, he would definitely give corresponding rewards.
The senior champion will get a Seiko plasma pistol, while the middle-grade champion will get an antique sting sword he got from the Great Vortex, which is said to have come from a saint of the state religion in ancient times.
Having shown his skills in front of such a great person, almost no student would give up. All middle and senior students signed up, so they began to draw lots in pairs to decide their first opponent.
When Soshyan sat down again, he was not idle, but instead attracted Ulanhuda's representative on the DuPont Delin family, a sage.
"...Report to the Lord, the male nobles of the DuPontlin family have committed many crimes in the past ten years, but have also done some good deeds, such as eliminating wild beasts that endanger farmers, organizing disaster relief when disasters occur, etc...."
The sage of Saints used wireless communication to convey information into the communication rosary in Soshyan's ear, which was also the main task given to him by Bangula, to monitor the DuPontlin family and collect many secret matters of this family.
Although the noble knights are very cautious about mechanical priests, they cannot do without these possible existences. Whether it is the knight mecha or the high-tech facilities in the city, they cannot be transferred without the mechanical priests. The guardians of the holy relics can only take care of the technical needs of some nobles, and their scale is not large enough now to be able to replace the role of the mechanical priests.
Bangula also secretly sent a large number of infiltrators and disguisers into the territory of the knights, staring at these people every day without doing anything, and the knights were unaware of this. Perhaps Madias knew something, but he also chose to remain silent.
So with the help of the dense surveillance network in the city, the sages of the Saint Machine almost collected most of the actions of the DuPont Delin nobles, and all of them were recorded one by one.
