Chapter 13: The New Lord of the Sorrowful Wind Realm (Part II)
Cervantes grinned, revealing his white and hideous teeth: "Good day, everyone, as you can see, I, Cervantes Doig Howling Wind, have become your new rightful lord. The black dragon that fought with my father that day was my mother, that is, the black dragon on the coat of arms and banners of the Sorrowful Wind family, my mother!"
"My father was glorified in battle, and he also enjoyed death in glory, and I inherited his last wishes and inherited the Grief family, so-"
Cervantes patted the prey behind him and said, "This is the proof that I have the ability to inherit the Sadness Wind Family! I will become the head of the Sadness Wind Family, inherit the Sadness Wind Leader, and inherit my father's will!"
Cervantes turned into a human form, stood on the stone platform, and raised his hands high: "I, Cervantes Doig Sorrowful Wind, am your new lord, the successor Duke of Sorrowful Wind!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Many aristocrats sneered, and even more dismissive of Cervantes's behavior—should he be said to be a 'beast' if he used this act of hunting a beast to show his strength?
The maid had been preparing for today for a long time, and even the nobles and knights in the more remote territories had been invited by her, no matter what they sneered at or what they thought, she just wanted to tell them that the Sad Wind Territory had a new master......!
"Knights, now that you've put on your armor, draw your swords now!"
"Bang!"
The sound of gloves tapping on the breastplate overlapped, and the knights in armor stepped out.
The banner of the sword and the black dragon fluttered behind Cervantes, and he laughed and pointed at the Broken Tooth Tiger monster that was slowly coming to his senses: "Knights, do you see? That is your enemy—a legendary monster! I have decided to share my glory with you, and go and prove your bravery!
Although it was a pity not to be able to ride the horse, in the presence of the people, the knights pulled down their face armor, and under the face armor, a cruel smile appeared on their faces that were either rough or handsome.
"Boom!"
Continuing to march forward, the knights drew their swords.
Amid the stunned gaze of the mages and merchants, in the presence of the clergy, and in the astonishment and cheers of the commoners and adventurers, the knights strode forward.
The knights finally understood why Miss Edith had asked them to wear armor and raise their flags, and under the fluttering family banners, the heroic spirits of the ancestors would witness their bravery—just as the Duke of Sorrow led the knights to repel the invasions of the Black Forest again and again.
Now they have also gathered under the banner of the Sorrowful Wind family, and together with the new Duke of Sorrowful Wind, they will share the glory!
They have long decided to follow the old duke's will and become knights to succeed Duke Cervantes of Sorrowful Wind, and continue to protect the Sorrowful Wind Territory - the glory of knights will eventually return to knights, and the mage nobles don't know what 'man's romance' is!
Things like art and eloquence are just embellishments, and the reason why men can attract women is because of their blood!
"Roar!"
About fifty feet away, one of the knights struck each other with his heels, and the [Acceleration Technique] stored in his boot activated, and he let out a warcry and rushed towards the monster.
"Boom!"
The bowstring vibrated and its afterglow echoed in the wind, which carried the arrows past the advancing knights and shot into the monster's eyes.
The knights in armor began to charge, and the sound of their footsteps in unison was gripping, and the smooth surface of the well-maintained armor reflected the sunlight and the knights roared.
In the drowsiness, the monster was startled when he heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the sound of swords breaking through the wind, the roars of the knights with an indomitable momentum, and the cheers and curses of many more people.
The arrow stabbed painlessly into the brow bone, and the enchanted blade cut through the tough fur, but stuck in the muscles and bones.
Kate Knight stood still, and instead of trying to draw his sword, he chose to temporarily suppress the monster's front legs.
The Belt of Giant Force exerted its due effect, and the front legs of the saber-toothed tiger monster with two broken canine teeth were awkwardly stuck in mid-air.
This beast was not easy to deal with, although its mind was still drowsy, it could not exert much strength, and it could not think, but the strong wild instinct still made it lower its head and bite down.
The 'giant' Batum knight who followed held his shield, from the bottom to the top, the soles of his feet against the ground, and after a "bang", the Batum knight was overturned by the great force, but the head of the toothbreaker was also slapped to the side.
Kate took the opportunity to draw her long sword and rushed to the bottom of the monster's belly along with the Batum Knight, who rolled on the spot and rolled over.
The brave Knight raised his great axe, the scarred face under his visor already reddened, and the strength of his whole body was concentrated on this blow, and he slammed the axe into the monster's head, and cheers rang out from the crowd behind him.
Several knights rushed up, the axe of the Knight of Kem stuck in the jawbone of the monster, the monster was provoked, turned sideways, the tail like an iron whip swept over several charging knights, the knights stopped in time, the tail hit the weapon, several knights took the force together, the knights relaxed their legs, driven by this force, fell backwards, but after a few unloading and rolling.
[Electric Claw] is attached to the claws and tail of the saber-toothed tiger monster, and each blow can bloom with electric light, although the eyes are blind, but the ears and nose are still there, not intact, but it is enough to use it, and the intuition of the beast is usually very sharp.
The big cat jumps out of the way, and it doesn't like to be under its soft belly, even though the skin there is just as tough.
The thrilling battle continued, the power of the knights of the Tempest was on display, and the battle against such a behemoth was so powerful that many people fell into a frenzy, lost their judgment and speech, and were left with simple cheers.
Edith's attention wasn't there, she looked at her brother's thick back.
As if using magic, a few simple words mobilized the passion of the knights, and then diverted people's attention, and when this unbalanced battle was over, not many people would continue to dwell on their father's death.
Because, as he said, 'the father was glorified in battle, and in glory he enjoyed death,' and he 'inherited his father's will' and 'shared in the glory,' and after the battle was over, no one cared who he was.
The disdainful blood of the nobles is infecting most of the people present, and the knights who have grown up in blood and fire to this day still maintain their original appearance, and they still have the blood and the determination to protect the Sorrowful Wind Leader.
Because of the will of the lord, they pledged allegiance to Cervantes and then became knights under his command, 'sharing the glory' with him.
'What a terrible scheming, is this the gap between herself and her brother?' Edith was shocked, the gap between Cervantes' 'true face' and the stupid dragon she remembered was too great to even connect this terrible man with the stupid dragon who was bullied by the maid.
Cervantes smiled, and heard the maid say that as long as this way, he could make people fall at his feet, although he didn't know why he wanted people to fall at his feet, but the maid said that he could make more money in this way, and the evil Lord Cervantes smiled aggrievedly!
The nobles and merchants noticed the smile on Cervantes' face and immediately had different thoughts.
To the cheers of the lords, the mortally wounded legendary beast was killed, and the knights laughed heartily and celebrated their victory with the civilians.
Cervantes remembered what the maid had told him, and laughed: "Revel, this monster is my gift to you, and it will be our ingredient tonight! What about the merchant? What about the tavernkeeper, get ready to take out all the wine, revel, and pay tribute to my father's glory in the revelry! And I, according to my father's wishes, will inherit the Sorrowful Wind!"
