Chapter 587: Chapter 583, honours

Kiel held a fork and a knife. The food placed in front of him was probably something he could only eat after saving up a week’s worth of pocket money.

However, Kiel did not have any appetite at the moment. No one was in the mood to eat while watching the decapitation ceremony that was about to begin on the public execution platform.

This was indeed a harsh execution. Nearly 200 servants and their families were summoned to the dining hall in the embassy of the country of steel. They stood in more than ten rows in a row in silence.

Empress Yekana was standing in front of them, looking at everyone with her cold eyes… from time to time, there would be people who were deemed as ‘traitors’being dragged out of the line and then taken to somewhere unknown by the guards.

In the end, three of the servants were dragged away by the guards. Empress Yekana waved her hand and dismissed the group of people.

“General Fred, you have neglected the management of the entire embassy.”

Empress Yekana tried to figure out a ring on her finger. The ring was inscribed with pale purple inscriptions.

As an inscription master, Kiel could immediately tell that the gemstone inlaid in the ring was an expensive inscription stone. It was inscribed with the magic of the illusion system.

“Your Highness, I was sent here by the king so that I could retire.”General Fred began to complain to Empress Yekana. “Nolan is a nursing home with a nice scenery. There’s no reason to worry about spies from other countries in the nursing home.”

“But I’m going to assign you to a new battlefield, General.”

Empress Yekana listened to the general’s complaints and finally sighed softly. This general had once made outstanding contributions to the steel country, but he was already too old, he was so old that he would not stop panting even if he practiced the sword with Prince Kaos for a while.

Although General Fred had once asked the king to continue staying on the battlefield, the war had already ended, so the king would only send him to Nolan as an ambassador.

Under such circumstances, it was understandable that general Fred would have complaints.

“You mean the Holy Spirit Competition?”General Fred paused. “I didn’t expect you to care so much about this… magic web game.”

“It’s the Karshilov family that cares too much about this competition.”Empress Yekana’s voice was cold. “In order to win this competition, they even used the despicable method of planting spies in the players and bribing the nobles of other countries.”

Bribing the nobles of other countries? Hearing this, Kiel was slightly shocked. Speaking of which, the combat strength of the contestants from other countries was also so weak that it was unseemly.

“It’s indeed very despicable, but it’s a very common method in war,”general Fred said.

“Did that chaos demon say that he planned to hold a second competition?”

After saying this, Empress Yekana looked at Prince Kaos who was sitting at the dining table.

“Joshua Arnold just told me on the magic web that the second competition will be held three months later, and the prize will still be the fruit of the Holy Tree.”

Prince Kaos received a text message from Joshua on his way to the embassy.

In the text message, apart from telling Prince Kaos the time of the next Holy Spirit Competition, he also asked about Prince Kaos’current location.

“Three months later? The next time the Nolan Portal Opens…”

Queen Yekana’s terrifying expression finally subsided a little when she thought of this.

“General Fred, I plan to form a new guild,”Queen Yekana suddenly said.

“Guild?”

“Just like our Gladiator Guild! “Not only do I want to make those old foxes lose their heads in the next Holy Spirit Competition, but also in all future competitions… I Can’t give them a chance to win.”Queen Yekana seemed to be serious.

“But Your Highness… that Chaos Fiend might not always use the holy tree’s crystal as a reward.”

General Fred knew how precious the Holy Tree’s crystal was. This time, Jose gave it to the Frost Kingdom as a reward for being the champion for free.

No one knew what this chaos fiend would use as a reward in the next competition.

“General Fred! The reward for the next Holy Spirit Competition will still be the Holy Tree Crystal,”Prince Kaos interrupted at this time.

However, his reminder was completely ignored by his mother.

“It’s fine to disband the guild, but that Chaos Demon’s ambition may be greater than I imagined,”Empress Yekana recalled the memories of her contact with Jose and said, “He is deliberately stirring up the hatred between us and the Frost Kingdom. The hatred can only be resolved with that magic net game. In the end, that magic net game will be valued by me and the nobles of various countries… it will become a brand-new battlefield.”

Queen Yekana’s words were just as general Fred had predicted.

“Your Highness, I will train strong enough soldiers.”

General Fred heard this and had no more questions. He accepted the mission of Queen Yekana.

“I will also recruit in the iron country’s Orson Castle. I heard that there is a place called Internet cafe.”

Queen Yekana looked at Kiel and the attendants sitting next to him.

“Although they were defeated in this competition, they have shown that they are not weaker than the enemy. General Fred, are these warriors paid?”Queen Yekana asked.

“Each of them is paid five gold coins.”

General Fred answered Queen Yekana truthfully.

Queen Yekana also walked towards the dining table at this time. Kiel almost immediately put down the cutlery in his hand, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and stood up from his seat.

“I remember that your father is a Baron?”

“The manager of Crane Town. It’s our honor to be remembered by her highness the Queen.”Kiel lowered his head and said in a humble voice.

“You performed very well on the battlefield of the Holy Spirit today. Are you willing to continue to stay in the embassy as a participant in the competition?”

“Of course I am.”

Kiel could only answer in this way. If he refused, it was a question whether he could walk out of the embassy alive or not.

“General Fred, bring the sword.”Empress Yekana’s next order made Kiel so scared that his soul almost left his body.

This empress didn’t intend to use magic. Could it be that she intended to use the sword to ‘deal’with him?

Kiel stared at the general as he took out a knight’s longsword. There were complicated patterns on the hilt of the sword. It didn’t look like a weapon used in battle at all.

This was A… Ceremonial Sword.

“Kneel.”

Under Empress Yekana’s order, Kiel instantly understood what she meant and instantly half-knelt on the ground.

“Although this is only a guild that I established verbally, and there are no written documents that can explain your identity, I will not mistreat any ‘warrior’who fought for me on the battlefield.”

Empress Yekana pulled out her long sword and lightly patted Kiel’s shoulder with the blade of the sword.

Kiel felt the cold feeling of the long sword resting on his shoulder, but he was so excited that he could only clench his hand tightly to calm himself down.

This meant that he had become a knight under the Queen! This knight under the bloody queen… This identity had much more power than a baron. Many nobles in the iron country had to speak to him nicely when they saw this identity.

The position that anyone dreamed of suddenly fell into the hands of Kiel.

“But if you face such a tragic defeat the next time.”

Halfway through the award ceremony, Empress Yekana suddenly pressed the long sword in her hand against Kiel’s neck, forcing Kiel to look up at her.

“Not only you, but your family will also be reduced to dust along with your honor. Do you understand?”

“I… I understand, Your Highness,”Kiel said in a trembling voice.

“Then, in order to become stronger in the future, become a Holy Knight.”

Empress Yekana directly addressed the players in the competition as ‘Knights’. This title instantly raised the status of the players of the weave.

Kiel raised both of his hands and caught Empress Yekana’s long sword.

“I’ll leave the rest to you, General Fred. Don’t hold back.”Empress Yekana turned around and was about to leave the restaurant, before she left, she glanced back at Prince Karos and said something that made him despair, “Pack your luggage.”

“Understood, mother.”

Prince Karos accepted his mother’s order. In the end, he still had to return to the country of steel. Before he left, he opened a message on the weave. There was a message left by Enoch.

‘where are you?’

Prince Kaos looked at the message, not knowing how to reply.
