Chapter 640: Pledge of Allegiance to the Most Honorable One

By the middle of the game, a considerable number of teams had already been eliminated one after another. On the field, uniforms of various colors were fluttering in the wind. The number of teams was reduced from the original ten to six, four of which were Deschanel. People, two groups are Osunco people.

At halftime, the knights from each team who had been separated from the chaos stood together and cheered in unison toward the luxurious stands. The remaining mental state of each team could be clearly heard from the cheers. , the soldiers in the simple stands could not help but stand up, respond, provoke, yell, and howl. The entire venue was a sea of ​​noise.

Althea nervously looked at the scene at the venue. There were four teams of Deschel people and two teams of Osenko people. Logically speaking, Deschel should have the numerical advantage. , but the problem is that there are only three teams sent by Osenko to participate in the competition. According to the ratio, the Osenko people only lost [-]% in the previous battle, but the Deschanel people suffered a loss. Nearly half.

Moreover, it can be seen from the momentum of chanting slogans just now that the Deschanel people seem to be a little exhausted, but the Osenko people still have some energy left.

"Damn, what should I do?"

Althea muttered in a very low voice.

Count Osenko in the same stand could not hear this voice, but Eden standing next to her could hear it clearly.

"what?"

Eden asked rhetorically.

Seeing this, Althea pointed at the Osenko team on the field.

Eden immediately understood what Althea was worried about. She had mentioned to herself yesterday that she did not want the Osenko people to swear allegiance to her by winning.

But if you don’t want it, what can you do? Even the noble princess can’t affect the outcome of the game.

Eden thought for a while and asked in a low voice:
"Can't you just refuse in person?"

Althea asked back:
"You have to give me a suitable reason."

It dawned on Eden.

Althea was unwilling to accept the oath of allegiance from the Osenko people, but she could not find a decent reason to refuse.

Is it possible to tell those Osenko people face to face that you are not worthy of swearing allegiance to Her Royal Highness the Princess?This kind of reason is completely unconvincing to the public, not to mention the Osenko people, and even the other Deschanel people are unwilling to stand for it.

Eden looked at the scene in the arena and noticed that during the intermission, the knight Buzz had been looking towards the luxurious stands.

Just when Eden frowned, Althea came over and whispered:

"I have an idea."

"what?"

"It's not convenient to say yet."

Althea said mysteriously.

Eden's face was full of confusion. He had an ominous premonition for a moment. After all, so far today, he didn't seem to have encountered anything good because of the unlucky coin.

The intermission ended quickly, and the Deschanel and Osenko people in the stands were excited again. They watched the Cavaliers entering the field again with great nervousness.

The Deschanel people in the stands looked down on the Osenko people, thinking they were barbaric and uncivilized. Similarly, the Osenko people looked down on the Deschanel people, thinking they were perfumed with powder and had the cowardice of women. Both sides They argued fiercely inside and outside the game, cheering for the team they supported.

The knights of the only two Osenko teams were all in high spirits again. According to their customs, the winner had to swear allegiance to the most noble person on the field and kiss the most noble one. The back of the noble person's hand, and who is the most noble person on the field?Undoubtedly, Her Royal Highness Deschanel.

The oath of allegiance to Her Royal Highness the Princess is not only an honor, but also a trophy to show off to the Deschanel people. The Osenko people can straighten their chests and humiliate the Deschanel people. Look, you cowards are not. I am qualified to be loyal to your princess!

The knights of the six teams struggled together again, and smoke and dust flew into the venue.
There are still four teams of Deschers, who originally had a numerical advantage. As long as they unite, they are enough to defeat the Osenko knights.

However, perhaps the intrigues in the empire breed the intrigues, or perhaps the knights of Osenko were too united. Deschanel's knights, who were supposed to deal with Osenko's team together, actually attacked and stabbed each other in the back. As they stood up, before Osenko's knights received any powerful threat, Deschanel's knights were already in chaos.

After Deschanel's team decided on the winner and the only winner was determined, Osenko's team, who was waiting for work, went straight ahead and completely defeated the remaining Deschanel's team in a short period of time. There was not a single Deschanel Knight standing on the field.

The entire Deschanel crowd was in an uproar, the Osenko Knights were going to take the first and second place.

Finally, when the giant-like knight Buzz defeated the last enemy with his war hammer, their team was the only one left on the field, and the winner received the boos and cheers of the audience.

In the luxurious stands, Count Osenko was very satisfied with this scene and kept clapping his hands.

But Althea's expression was a little solemn.The thing you least wanted to face happened.

Soon, the boos slowly disappeared, and there were cheers and praises inside and outside the stadium. In the simple stands, who was the first to boo, a series of sounds came out.

"Pledge allegiance, swear allegiance!"

"Swear by the horn of the faun, swear by the bow and arrow of the goddess of hunting, and in the presence of the gods, swear allegiance to the most noble one!"

The Osenko people shouted and shouted in unison, demanding that their customs be followed. The voices gathered together were like thunder, and even many Deschanel people were included in them, shouting "Pledge of Allegiance" in unison.

Knight Buzz held his neck high and looked in the direction of the luxurious stands with a victor's attitude.

"This is not a rule of the game and there is no corresponding law."

Althea turned to the Count of Osenko and said.

"Your Highness Princess, it is our custom to 'pledge allegiance to the most noble one', and... not long after, you will also be an Osenko."

said the Earl of Osenko with a smile.

Other Osenko envoys also applauded, and there were voices swearing allegiance in the luxurious stands.

The Emperor's Paladin, "Broken Blade" Bright, had an expressionless expression. He neither opposed nor approved of this.

Sister Cassandra saw Her Royal Highness's dissatisfaction and wanted to say something to save the princess.

At this moment, Althea smiled calmly and said:

"Well, since that's your custom, then do it."

After finishing speaking, Althea turned around and slowly walked down the stand.

Eden, who was guarding her, followed.

When the beautiful figure of the princess came to the venue, the whole place burst into warm cheers. People were amazed by the princess's beauty, and the people of Osenko were even more shocked. It was the first time they saw such a tall and tall figure. Touching woman.

As a result, the voices of "pledge of allegiance" on the field became louder and louder, like an endless wave.

Althea stopped when she was still more than ten steps away from the Osenko knights, and Eden also stopped. They were quite far away from the Osenko knights.

The Osenko knights couldn't wait any longer. Their armor was filled with sweat. Before the princess could speak, they couldn't step forward rashly. Otherwise, these knights would have already knelt down on one knee.

"The warriors who win the crown."

Althea spoke slowly.

Well, the voices of the audience outside the venue suddenly became much quieter. Everyone looked in the direction of Althea, waiting for the princess's words.

"I know that you will swear allegiance to the Most Exalted One."

Althea spoke calmly.

Eden glanced at Althea curiously, wanting to see what plan she had prepared.

Hearing Althea's words, the Osenko knights nodded one after another, and the leading knight Buz was even more excited. He looked at Althea with longing eyes, as if he was willing to die for the princess's beauty in the next second.

"Are you going to swear allegiance to me?"

Althea's voice is so beautiful.

Before the Osenko knights could cheer excitedly, Althea changed the subject and suddenly said:
“No, you are not supposed to swear allegiance to me.

The most noble person here is not me, but the gods, the gods of heaven! "
