On the land of Gaia, a thousand-year war between gods and demons once broke out. In the end, mankind, under the leadership of the Glory Clan representing the gods, used the artifact "Holy Sword" to defeat the evil Dark Clan and achieved this
A victory in a holy war. After the war, the Holy Sword split into five pieces and disappeared on the continent because it completed its mission. The Glorious Clan was also regarded as a leader by mankind because of the key role it played in the war, and
As a result, a powerful kingdom was established - the Kingdom of Lance. For 500 years, the Kingdom of Lance has steadily ruled the continent with the protection of the holy light barrier of the floating city of the royal city and the powerful combat power of the Five Dragon Knights. The Five Dragon Knights
The regiment is composed of five knights: the Golden Dragon Knights, the White Dragon Knights, the Black Dragon Knights, the Blue Dragon Knights and the Red Dragon Knights. It is the strongest legion in the mainland.
The Kingdom of Lance is located in the center of the continent of Gaia. To the north is a vast grassland; to the east is the permafrost tundra covered by ice and snow all year round and the colorful emerald forest; to the west is the Burning Province because of the
It is named after the largest magic volcano on the continent, Mount Isaro. The entire area presents a red earth landscape; as for the southern end of the kingdom, it is a vast desert, with a mysterious land of weeping gods embraced by sand dunes. In the western sea of the continent
There is an island called Craigie Island, which was used as a penal colony for the kingdom; there is another mysterious island in the East China Sea called the Holy Land of Logar, where legend has it that dragons live there.
In the year 523 of the Kingdom Calendar, this was the twentieth year since Holy King Roy succeeded to the throne. The whole kingdom was in good weather, and people were accustomed to peaceful days...
"Byron, that's it for today. I think it's getting late. Let's go back to the palace!" Seeing that the color of the sky was about to dim, Roy said with a smile, "If only Joshua knew that there would be another sumptuous dinner
You will be very happy waiting for him!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Byron, who was riding a tall horse and wearing golden armor, smiled and called to the strong guards around him to carry away today's prey.
"Wait a minute!" Roy suddenly stopped the guard beside Byron, turned to a knight who was also following Byron on a horse, "Young warrior, today is the first time I see you.
Skill. In the past, I often heard Byron say that you were his most outstanding disciple, and today you have proven that what Byron said is true. I decided to give the red deer I shot today to you, Geraint!"
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty!" Geraint put one hand on his chest, dismounted and bowed deeply to the king.
"The king's reward is a great honor for Geraint!" Byron looked at Roy.
"The meat of red deer is not suitable for Joshua. As a warrior of the kingdom, such a praise is not excessive for Geraint!" Roy laughed.
King Roy and Byron rode back to the palace together, and the group talked and laughed along the way.
"Unknowingly, it has been twenty years since I ascended the throne!" Roy couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Byron turned his head.
"Twenty years have passed, and I'm old in the blink of an eye." Roy sighed. "When I was hunting today, I felt like I could hardly draw my bow and arrow. But you are still the same, still looking so serious. In fact, you are just the same.
You don’t have to be so restrained when we are together, my brother!”
"Your Majesty, you are not old. Don't worry about it." Byron said.
"You." Roy laughed, "It's a pity that Joshua is still young. At first, I thought we would have the first queen in the history of our Kingdom of Lance."
"When Joshua is old enough to succeed to the throne, you will only be over fifty years old. This is Joshua's blessing. He can learn more about the experience of governing the kingdom from you. Unlike you, my Majesty, when we
"My father died young, and you shouldered the burden of managing the kingdom early on." Byron said.
"We are now at the royal hunting ground, and there are our royal guards nearby." Roy smiled, "Byron, my dear brother, you can relax a little."
"No, Your Majesty. Many places are not safe on the way back to the city. I must always pay attention to everything around me." Byron replied.
"I'm talking about Byron! If you continue to be so tall and short like Your Majesty, I will be angry!" Roy smiled and patted Byron on the shoulder, "Although I am your king, I am also your brother.
I order you not to call me Your Majesty on such occasions in the future. Instead, address me as brother..."
"But your Majesty..." Byron was about to speak, but was quickly interrupted by the king.
"Hahahaha, I really can't stand you, my dear brother!" Roy laughed helplessly.
As the sun set, the two rode horses together and walked away from the woods together...
At night, the palace hall was steaming with steam, filled with the aroma of barbecued meats and freshly baked bread. The table was covered with the trophies of the hunt. The walls of the hall were resplendent and decorated with flags of various families. In the center was
The golden logo of the Golden Dragon Knights is lined up on both sides with white, red, blue, and black, representing the logos of the other four knights of the Kingdom of Reims. The ceiling of the hall is engraved with the noble and mysterious pattern of the legendary goddess of light.
In the hall, there was a poet playing the harp and singing ballads. The palace musicians were cheering for the dinner, waiting for the arrival of the king and others.
Soon King Roy walked in, followed by his beautiful queen. She was holding the hand of the little prince Joshua. Joshua was only five years old, but he was very smart and cute. Roy was very fond of this little son who was born last.
Very pampered. Joshua loves to attend this kind of dinner, because every dinner has delicious food and a lively atmosphere.
Four princesses came after them. The eldest princess was already married and brought her husband with her this time; the other three princesses walked in together, talking and laughing.
After the king's family and other royal members took their seats, Byron walked into the hall with the heads of the other four knights. As the leader of the Golden Dragon Knights, Byron has the reputation of being the wall of the kingdom. As the king's brother, he
He was given the honor of being able to wear a sword and go to the palace. Behind him was the leader of the Black Dragon Magic Knights - Master Parsa, the king's cousin. Although he was younger than King Roy in terms of age, he didn't know
For some reason, he seems to be aging very fast in the past year or two. He has a pair of deep-set eyes with a gloomy look, and he likes to wear his hair disheveled and have a beard. He looks much older than the king, as if he is older than him.
He is like a brother who is several years older. The one in the middle is Bai Ao, the leader of the White Dragon Knights, who is known as one of the strongest knights in the mainland. He has a tall body, golden hair, and a handsome face that reveals a sense of arrogance from time to time.
temperament.
Following at the end were Schroeder, the leader of the Red Dragon Knights, and Roger, the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights. The two of them showed a huge contrast in stature. As Schroeder, known as the beast of the knights,
He was tall and powerful, and extremely majestic; but Roger was very thin, with a bit of cunning in his eyes.
Everyone took their seats one after another, and King Roy stood up and said loudly: "Today is a very special day. Twenty years ago today, I ascended the throne for the first time. In the past twenty years, my people have lived and worked in peace and contentment and enjoyed the wonderful things."
And live a peaceful life. This is all thanks to the warriors of the kingdom and all other relatives and ministers who have shared my worries, especially you, the Five Dragon Knights. Today, let us raise this golden goblet full of wine and wish together.
Our kingdom endures."
After speaking, Roy raised the wine glass in his hand. Everyone stood up and also raised the wine glass in their hands.
"Cheers to the eternity of the Kingdom of Lance!" Roy shouted, and drank the wine in his hand.
"Cheers!" Everyone drank the wine together.
After the toast, the king greeted everyone and the dinner officially began.
"Mom, Mom. What are you drinking? It looks delicious. Can I have a drink too?" Joshua said expectantly, looking at the wine glass Roy put on the table.
"My son, you are only five years old now, how can you drink this? These are for adults to drink. You should enjoy the chicken legs on your plate!" The queen smiled and stroked Joshua's head.
The heads of the Knights also put aside their usual rigorous style to toast each other, except for Parsa who still had a gloomy look. While drinking, Schroeder boasted about his achievements with Bai Ao and Roger with relish. Byron
He seldom drinks alcohol at ordinary times. Today he made an exception and drank two more drinks, but he still had to go out of the palace for inspection from time to time. Just when he was inspecting the palace corridor for the second time, suddenly, a black shadow flashed...
