Chapter 189 Coronation Ceremony

Almost ten days after sending the envelope, the letters from the three lords arrived in Nord City one after another, and were placed on Richard's desk in the Hippolito Palace.

It was not much different from what Richard expected. The Urifu territory closest to the Republic of Cunha refused his surrender. The old earl's court regent Xiao Nskosa, who was seriously ill in bed, was a good friend of Jutian. Furious at the news of the murderer's death, he vowed to lead the coalition forces of the Republic of Cunha and the Principality of Lasik to crush Richard and avenge his friend.

The Earl of Premi, Frederick, readily accepted the surrender, and personally took the heir to Nord City to meet Richard.Through the communication with the old earl, Richard knew the strength of the Premi collar—during Jutian’s administration, the Premi collar was repeatedly suppressed because he chose to stand on the side of the royal family during the coup. There are various excuses to increase taxes, and Primi led the most troops during the war.Therefore, the current Primi collar can be said to be poor and empty, and there is no way to provide much for conscripts.

Richard guessed that this was also the reason why Frederick surrendered to Richard. Even if Frederick didn't want to surrender, he couldn't bear Richard's anger. He might as well vote along the way and keep his title.

In addition to the Premie Territory, the Ossiig Territory in the northwest of the kingdom also sent envoys to express their surrender to Richard. Since the former Earl of the Osriger Territory, Harling Dabur, died in the Nord siege, the leader of the Ossiig Territory The country is in a turbulent period of title handover, and the new Earl Stein had to surrender.

They are not like Ullif, who rely on powerful allies, but fight on their own. When encountering a powerful opponent like Richard, if they don't surrender, they will only end in destruction.

……

On January 1112, 1 in the continental calendar, Nord City was under the shroud of winter, but the atmosphere in the city was very hot. People from all over the kingdom came here, wanting to witness the downfall of Nord City for six years. The Nirvana of the Phoenix of the Tuyat Dynasty.

Although there is still a Urif Territory that is split outside, peace has not yet come to the people living in this land, but this does not affect the restoration of the previous dynasty.In order to prevent any bad factors from appearing in this grand coronation ceremony, Richard's army stood ready in various parts of the city. Heavily armed soldiers could be seen patrolling the streets everywhere, and a soldier stood every few steps on the city wall. The law and order in the city has never been better, and even the local hooligans who are often seen on weekdays have disappeared.

In addition to strengthening the security in the city, Richard also appointed the Danish deputy general Toolagris to lead [-] Danish troops to station on the road leading to Nord City from Ulif to prevent little Ensksa from getting hot with his poor head. The levies attack Nord City. Although Richard is not worried about the attack of Ullif's army, he does not want to see his coronation ceremony destroyed.

At the coronation ceremony held in Nord City, in addition to the newly surrendered nobles from the Kingdom of Winster, there were also envoys from the Kingdom of Ravana, the Kingdom of Ramirez, and the Kingdom of Farnic, which were worth a visit. What I mentioned is that the Republic of Riya, a small island country where Richard stopped many years ago on his way to the Farnic Kingdom (after overthrowing the king, this palm-sized island country went through years of civil strife before finally establishing a republic, but now The Republic of Riya has become poorer and weaker, and can only seek asylum from Richard) also sent the deputy speaker of the country's National Assembly to celebrate.

Although the kingdom of Ravana was not Queen Stephanie, whom Richard had always wanted, she sent her friend Douglas whom Richard hadn't seen for many years. Speaking of which, Douglas was also lucky. He was sent to other countries to exercise his ability, and he just escaped a catastrophe. However, his whole family was imprisoned and executed by Bandak except him.

Now Douglas is no longer what he used to be. He has become very calm. It can be seen that the tragedy of the massacre of his family has made him mature a lot.

Of course, you have to wait for the ceremony to catch up with Douglas, and as the sun rises, a long and high-pitched bell rings suddenly, and the long ringing resounds over the city. Sounded, mixed into a huge symphonic rhythm, kicked off the prelude to Richard's coronation ceremony.

boom!Boom boom boom!
Outside the city, 18 various artillery pieces owned by Richard fired in unison, making a deafening roar. The sound of the cannons echoed over the entire city. Then, the palace gate of Ippolito Palace was pushed open by fully armed imperial knights on foot. , in the eyes of all the guests in the palace, Richard, dressed in fine clothes, slowly stepped onto the fine velvet red carpet.

What a figure that is!His long golden curly hair hangs down behind his head, almost at the same level as his shoulders, his eyes are as bright as stars, and his thin lips are tightly pressed, giving him an incomparably majestic and inviolable look. He is young, handsome and sharp-edged. The fortitude of the face is deeply fascinating, and the heroic spirit between the brows is bursting out, making people unable to help but give birth to the idea of ​​surrender and worship!
He wears a long-sleeved underwear made of high-quality linen, and outside this underwear is a short robe made of purple silk, which is embroidered with exquisite patterns with gold thread, just like the earth in history, here The silk is equally expensive, not to mention the purple robes dyed with the same expensive purple dye. There are several layers of robes of different colors on the outside of the short robes. These robes are inlaid with precious diamond jewels. Many exquisite patterns are embroidered with gold thread.The many diamond jewels inlaid on the robe shone brightly under the sunlight from the door opening, making Richard look even more noble.

Behind Richard, there are two rows of walking imperial knights in plate armor, cross barrel helmets, and battle skirts. These elite knights exude a faint murderous aura, and the cold steel makes them look even more ruthless. , the twenty elite knights walked in unison, neatly guarding behind Richard, giving the guests a strong visual impact.

Tread-tap-

At the end of the red carpet, Cardinal Peter Scanrel, dressed in black and white priest robes, holding a well-decorated "Bible" and a priest's scepter, looked solemnly, looking at Richard who was slowly approaching, under his gaze Next, Richard stopped when he was only one step away from him, and took advantage of the trend to kneel on one knee, his head slightly drooping.

"This was chosen by God, appointed by the late king Alfonso, the most legitimate heir to the Kingdom of Winster. It was he who led a powerful army to overthrow the usurper Jutian; it was he who restored the Stuart family in Winster. The reign of the kingdom of Sturt; he is God's favorite, the undisputed ruler of the kingdom, Richard!"

As soon as the cardinal finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the hall. Although most of the people present were loyal believers of Huanlu, this did not prevent them from cheering and celebrating with the Christians in the hall.

Then, came the most critical moment!
