Chapter 2444 The future is promising
The middle grade finals kicked off with the sound of drums. Cere knew Fitzpatrick very well. The relationship between the two was not bad, and they often sparred in training. When the two When people's spears crossed each other, Sere's shield was almost knocked away, and his spear only barely hit the enemy's shoulder. This disguise could not stop the opponent's mecha.
At this point, we can only fight with swords.
Both of them took out their melee weapons, and the sharp blades met, sparks bursting out.
Sere fights with skill and calmness, but he will not underestimate the opponents he has defeated, because Fitzpatrick also defeated him once, although it was a long time ago.
The fierce battle formed scratches on the training mecha, and warning runes flashed on Serre's visual display. He was forced to use his arm shield to resist an attack. At this time, an alarm sounded, and he clearly felt something happened to his arm. Broken, but this is also a God-given opportunity.
He grasped it and pierced his opponent's frontal sensor with his sword.
After a while, the opponent's mecha stopped moving.
"The winner has been decided! The winner is Serre Dubendlin from Class 3!!"
For a moment, there was thunderous applause, and Mathias was also applauding gently, There was no expression on his face, and after his second son climbed out of the mecha, he also shook hands with Serre in a friendly manner, but his expression was a little downcast. Andrea, not far away, kept staring at Serre. There was no response to the conversation from the female companion beside him.
Soshyan, who was sitting high on the throne, noticed that Barris had returned to his seat, and he and his wife were clapping excitedly.
Then, he said with a smile:
"Baron Barris, you also have a good son."
Hearing Soshiyang's voice, many People stopped applauding and looked at the Barriss curiously. Many people noticed that Soshyan used the word "also", and then thought of the previous person who received the same evaluation.
Barris turned around He stood up, bowed first, and then responded in a very humble and gentle tone:
"The Chapter Master has given me a commendation, Quanzi is not even an official knight."
"Looking at today's performance, he will be sooner or later. I am also looking forward to the day when I see him galloping on the battlefield. You two Champion, come forward.”
Soon, Andrea and Sere walked through the towering terminators to the steps less than ten meters away from Soshyan, and then walked alone. Get down on your knees.
This is also the first time that Serre has observed the guardian of the empire at such a close distance. It is also the first time that he has realized what the so-called "monster fear" is like. He feels that one of the opponent's arms may He is thicker than his own body, and finally understands why the real defenders of the human empire are not knights but Astartes
A knight is only powerful in a mecha, and an Astartes does not wear armor , and can easily kill a hundred knights.
This is the difference in the essence of life.
“.I have seen your efforts to control the powerful knight mecha, and I have also seen your superb fighting skills, but fighting requires not only skills, but also wisdom, planning, courage, and will. , or even the reaction at the moment between life and death, and many of these cannot be learned in school, and need to be tested again and again with blood on the battlefield. You are the champions in the academy now. In the future, I hope to see you Become a champion on the battlefield."
Then, two attendants held a plasma pistol and a beautiful stabbing sword in front of them, and Andrea and Sere, who were kneeling on the ground, took them carefully. After passing their prizes, they read out neatly the family motto left by Grand Duke Olga -
"We will live and fight forever!"
After the competition. , time came to the evening, Soshyan was invited to participate in the welcome banquet prepared for him by Mathias. All the knights and nobles and their family members and heirs came to participate, except for the unlucky Gonzalo, who went directly to He was taken away by the people from the White Temple, and he didn't even have time to say hello to his family.
When Soshyan entered the luxurious banquet hall, Mathias, who was wearing a formal dress, immediately said: "Let us pay our respects!"
His voice communicated through the servo skull Array loudspeakers play in all directions.
"Here is Soshyan Alexei, Chapter Master of the Astral Knights Chapter, Archon of the Nessen System, founder of the Suffering Alliance, and reconqueror of the Maelstrom. And the Guardian, the Destroyer of heretics and aliens, the Banisher of the Black Legion, the Scourge of the Red Corsairs, the Greenskin Slayer, the Savior of Armageddon, the Shield of the Holy Imperium of Man, the Messenger of the Throne and the God-Emperor.”< br>
The huge bell rang again, a triple bell ringing ceremony. Everyone made the eagle gesture and recited the words of loyalty required by palace etiquette.
"We praise the talons of the gray eagle!"
Madias continued to chant, but Soshyan raised a hand.
"That's enough, High King Mathias."
For knights, respectful and elegant etiquette, although tedious, is the cornerstone of knights' life, interrupting the welcome ceremony It's rude, and in the worst case, the knights might choose to take it as an insult.
But that's for other people.
Soshyan is not the master here, but he is almost a god.
He looked at the splendid hall. The entire space here showed a strong traditional Imperial Baroque style. Huge crystal chandeliers hung from the high dome, illuminating the entire banquet hall. The walls and floors were dazzling. Gold has become the main color, and even from the exquisite wall hangings on the wall to the gorgeous carpets on the floor, everything is shining with golden light, as if the veil of wealth and glory has been lifted.
In the center of the banquet hall is an extra-large long dining table. The tabletop is covered with gorgeous silk napkins, filled with gold tableware and bright crystal wine glasses. Countless plates and trays are filled with food. , there are all kinds of meat, from fish to poultry to wild animals, and there are also a dazzling array of vegetables and fruits of different sizes and varieties. There are also many stewed, fried, boiled, and baked pastries and desserts. Under the warm candlelight, It seems extremely luxurious.
The surrounding walls are covered with oil paintings, and the murals on the ceiling are mainly about knights and landscapes. There are some luxurious incense burners hanging in the corners, exuding a faint aroma of incense. Another part of the banquet hall At one end, there is a piano. The wooden appearance of the piano is inlaid with gorgeous metal carvings, making it look very noble. A musician is playing, surrounded by a band composed of various music users.
Farther away, servants and maids in ocher uniforms stood around the wall waiting for orders.
Soshyan, who was wearing ceremonial armor, came to Mathias alone, picked up the huge metal wine glass that the servant held above his head, and then raised it.
“To the Emperor, to Dupont Delin, and to my friend Olga.”
Everyone also raised their glasses, and at the same time the band began to play exciting battle music, which seemed more appropriate. Soshyan's taste.
But he didn’t expect that until this moment, Ofal was still trying to plead for his son.
