Chapter 63: The Alliance Begins
As the sun rises, clusters of magic fireworks soar into the sky.
Drums and music sounded, and the imperial palace gates opened one after another.
Wearing a strong and holding a sharp edge, teams of royal guards lined up on both sides.
On the first day of March, kings dressed in gorgeous clothes and walked into the Imperial Court Light Hall in turn.
In the middle of the hall, the thirteenth emperor Constantine wore a purple-gold crown on his head, a golden robe with a high-necked brocade robe and a delicate white jade belt on his waist. He sat upright on a high-back emperor chair made of dragon bones and beast tendons.
After entering the hall, the kings of various countries first gave the emperor a court ceremony. After the emperor returned the ceremony, they then took their seats in the left and right.
After the kings of various countries sat down, envoys of various countries presented gifts and gift lists to the emperor in turn. After the chief of the inner court took the gift list, they read it loudly in public.
After offering the gift, the Emperor led the kings of various countries out of the Hall of Light and jointly commemorated the ancestors and heroes who died for the rise of the human race in the square in front of the hall.
After a gorgeous hymn and complex memorial service, it was noon, and the emperor held a feast to entertain the kings of all countries.
At the luncheon, the emperors and monarchs talked about the great things in the world, and the ordinary people did not know and were not interested.
The height of the temple is too far away from all living beings. Ordinary people are only enthusiastic about the fireworks setting off twice in the morning and evening on the day of the alliance and the parade of lights from various countries in the evening.
In addition, the Imperial Elite Academy Championships started at the same time as the Alliance.
The Empire Gladiator, which can accommodate 80,000 people, was hard to get a ticket a month ago. Before the fireworks at the beginning of the alliance began, the gladiator was full. Everyone was looking forward to the competition and showdown of the best warriors and magicians of the younger generation of the Empire.
As the drums sounded, the participating countries and the sixteen college teams from the imperial capital were lined up to enter the venue in costumes of each college.
Whenever the host of the stadium reads the name of an academy, there will be a tsunami-like cheers in the arena.
Arthur, wearing a magical robe of gold and red, was also in the queue for entry. As soon as he entered the venue, he was quickly infected by the warm atmosphere in the venue, and his blood was boiling, as if he had returned to the wasteland battlefield of the golden swords and iron horses again.
Being in this huge circular arena, under the enthusiastic attention of tens of thousands of viewers, people quickly ignited the desire to fight.
After the entrance ceremony, there were also large-scale team singing and dancing and martial arts performances. The holding of dozens of consecutive competitions has made the Seven Nation Alliance a festival for the people of the imperial capital.
The official competition will only begin in the afternoon, and the kings of all countries who have participated in the Emperor's luncheon will also come to watch the game.
The Xue Yao Academy, which has participated in the competition mission today, was arranged to the viewing box on the west side of the first floor as soon as the entrance ceremony ended. No one could leave the stadium before the end of their afternoon game.
It was still long before the game started. Looking at the lively dance on the court, Arthur got drowsy and couldn't help but yawn, "I'll take a look for a while, and I'll start calling me."
Gori turned around and curled her lips at Arthur, "Where did you go last night's spirit?"
This time Arthur was going to play a big game again, using the name of His Eleventh Prince, two excellent equipment, Wolf Kiss Blue Short Knitting and Blu Water Ring, borrowed 100,000 gold coins from the underground trading company at high interest rates, and all of them were bet on Blood Yao Academy to win.
Infected by Arthur, Joan and McGin also took out all their savings and staked 50,000 gold coins, while Gori, Huey and Nini staked 50,000 gold coins.
Trouble until late at night, 200,000 gold coins were spread out to various casinos through McKinder's channels to bet on the Blood Yao Academy to win. The huge influx of huge funds even caused the casinos to quickly lower the odds of the Blood Yao Academy. The odds this morning have dropped from 1.66 to 1.42.
When Goli took the time to turn back, Arthur was already curled up in the chair and fell asleep. Goli took off her Yunhe cloak and covered Arthur with a helpless smile on the corner of her mouth, and muttered, "I don't know what crazy I've been sucking. I want to take all my private money to take risks with you. It seems that I'm going to fight again this time."
......
Arthur was awakened by the sound of the dong and the dong drums.
Opening his sleepy eyes, the two academy teams had already walked into the middle of the arena with drum beats, first saluting each other, and then saluting to the audience around them.
"When you wake up, eat something first. The organizer has prepared lunch, but the Austin Magician does not allow us to eat what others have prepared. If you have anything to eat in your bracelet, make do with it first." Grie's voice rang in Arthur's ear in time.
"The game has begun? Who is comparing with whom in the first game?" Arthur asked.
"As usual, the opening game was the last champion Death Academy. Their opponent this year is Merrith Academy from the Kingdom of Ruge, and the opponent ranked only 14th because the strength gap is too great, and the casino has not even opened for this game."
The competition had already begun while Arthur and Gori were chatting.
There were only two young men standing facing each other in the circular arena with a diameter of 100 meters. A general-level referee stood in the air in the middle of the two.
"Everyone is energetic and watch it seriously. The Death Academy is likely to become our next opponent. The man on the field is Uka, the strongest warrior of the Death Academy this year." Professor Agu held a booklet in his hand to give an on-site explanation to the students.
Wu Ka from the Death Academy had a bald head, shirtless upper body, his body covered with scars, and his lower body was barefoot and wearing leather pants barefoot. He held a huge beheading knife in one hand, and stood there without a trace of expression on his face.
In Arthur's eyes, Uka in the midfield is a beast, treating battle as an instinctive beast.
In contrast, Uka's opponent is a man with full body of knight armor and holding a long sword. The man stands the long sword on his chest, and the standard knight holds the sword.
The referee in the air "started" and Ula jumped out, almost like a shadow. She swayed in front of her opponent, and swung the big knife in her hand and slashed at her chest.
Ula's opponent had not even had time to turn the knight's sword-holding ceremony into a sword-drawing posture, and in a hurry, he could only swing his sword to block it.
The sword collided, the sword escaped, and the knight was chopped away with one sword.
Ula pointed at the ground, and his figure swayed and chased after him. The big knife slashed the knight's chest again, and cut him directly from the backwards to the ground.
The breastplate was broken and blood was sprayed on his mouth. The opponent could no longer get up after just two blows.
Strong, too strong!
From the beginning to the end, it even took less than ten seconds!
The audience on the court did not even react. They were silent first, and then instantly burst into warm applause and cheers.
"The battle has begun from the moment I kicked onto the arena, and I must pay close attention and concentrate. Although the strength gap between the two sides is huge, if the students of Merrith Academy are ready for battle from the beginning, they will not be defeated so quickly and so miserable." Professor Agu took this opportunity to teach students practical experience.
Arthur suddenly turned his head and asked Huey behind him, "How are you, Ukabi?"
"I am not his opponent without entering the state of madness, and my strength and speed are not as strong as him." Huey's eyes flashed with a strong sense of fighting as he said this.
