Chapter 75: Imperial Power
Military achievements are the highest honor for soldiers.
The Isaac Kingdom also has the most important military achievements. Arthur and the soldiers broke through the wasteland, plundered the beast camp, bravely rescued the prisoners, assassinated the son of the lion king, burned the front military city, and made great military achievements. Even Hobbes was the prince, and even gave the soldiers who returned home the highest honor and courtesy.
After the welcome ceremony, the Snow Legion held another banquet, which was a celebration banquet to celebrate the victory of the former Military City, and also a welcome banquet to welcome Arthur and the soldiers home.
Drinking the celebration wine, the entire military camp was filled with a celebratory atmosphere, and the soldiers came to toast Arthur because Arthur and the others could go home alive.
Arthur soon drank too much, and then he couldn't remember how much wine he drank. He vaguely remembered his laughter while drinking with Jose. The next scene turned into a scene with Buck. Silas hugged his head and cried bitterly, as if there was a plot of drinking by Gary pinching his nose...
After drinking too much wine, Arthur's memory had become blurred. He could not remember how the banquet ended, nor did he remember who sent him back to the tent.
When Arthur woke up in a daze and drank water, there was already a starry sky outside.
The banquet started at noon. Arthur didn't know how long he had slept. When he turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, he didn't know why he couldn't fall asleep again.
During those days in the Orc Wasteland, Arthur and the soldiers in danger never had a peaceful sleep. The biggest hope at that time was to have enough sleep at one time after returning home.
Now that I'm going home, I can finally fall asleep in the barracks, but Arthur has insomnia.
Arthur didn't know that many soldiers had insomnia like him on that night.
Arthur simply stopped sleeping and walked out of the tent with his clothes.
Arthur and the soldiers' tents were concentrated in the northwest corner of the barracks. Although he had just experienced a big victory, the guards of the Wind and Snow Legion did not relax at all. There was a guard post every few dozen meters, and there was also a team of patrols at night walked past every once in a while.
The night was very good today. Arthur had no purpose. He just walked in the military camp casually, thinking about something randomly.
A slightly thin figure unexpectedly appeared in Arthur's vision. Alia held the fence in the inner circle of the camp forehand and looked at the night sky in a daze.
Looking at the girl's back, Arthur felt inexplicably sad. In the past few months, he and the soldiers were rushing around the Orc Wasteland. Alia suffered too much. But not long after entering the wasteland, the two had a separate conversation, and they never had the chance to get along alone again. Even this just-concluded banquet, Arthur did not have the opportunity to go over to the girl with a glass of wine.
Arthur walked over gently, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"You can't sleep, aren't you?" Alia didn't look back, and the girl could hear Arthur from the sound of her footsteps.
"Maybe it was because I suddenly changed into a comfortable environment and it was not used to it." Arthur stood next to the girl, and the arms of the two people who were close to each other were almost touching each other.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then no one spoke.
"Thank you!" Arthur suddenly spoke again.
"Why?"
"You have suffered during this period of time, and if you were not for you, the soldiers might not be able to hold on."
"Are there only the warriors?" Alia looked at Arthur with her head tilted.
Arthur's face turned red again, and he opened his mouth but said nothing.
"You're shy again." Alia giggled.
"I just don't know how to express it."
"Okay, I'm going to go to bed." Alia stretched out her waist lazily. When she raised her arms, she happened to touch Arthur's hand, but neither of them cared about it.
"sleep?"
"Yes, I'm sleepy now." Alia turned around and walked towards her camp, took a few steps and then suddenly turned back, "I forgot to tell you that your shy look is very popular."
After Alia said that, she stuck out her tongue and ran away quickly.
Arthur scratched his head, "It's really strange. Some people like to look shy. Women are harder to understand than orcs?"
......
The next day, Prince Hobbes continued to negotiate the matter with the promotion.
After a great victory, he naturally rewarded merits. Arthur and many generals who made second-class military merits or above in this battle were recruited into the military tent.
Hundreds of officers at all levels rushed into the slums of the generals, such as battalion commanders and middle and low-level officers at the captain level, usually had no chance to enter the stern. Arthur and his teammates were arranged to stand in the first row because of their great contributions.
Arthur accidentally discovered a familiar figure among the big men in the army sitting in the front row. He sat in the lower head next to Keno, still above Joshua.
Shino's eyes swept over and nodded slightly at Arthur with a smile.
Arthur could not go over to salute in the military tent, so he had to nod.
During the awarding of the medal, the lieutenant next to Prince Hobbs held a long scroll of military merit and began to loudly read out the battlefield deeds of the meritorious officers and evaluate the military merit level.
The officers who were read were taken out of the line, stepped forward to salute, and were awarded medals in the sound of military music. The commander of the army belonged to him was wearing the military medal for the first-class and special-class military medals, and the commander of the army personally wore the military medal for the first-class military medal and the commander of the army personally wore the military medal for the first-class military medal.
Every officer who was called a name came forward with a smile on his face. This was the most glorious moment for a soldier.
The military merit book in the hand of the lieutenant did not have the names of Arthur and others from beginning to end. After reading the military merit book, the lieutenant returned to his original position, and Arthur's mood also sank to the bottom.
At this time, Prince Hobbes slowly stood up and unfolded a yellow scroll in his hand, "King's Commendation Order:"
As soon as the prince spoke, everyone, including Keno, stood up and stood attentively saluted.
"Defending the territory and ensuring the people, the responsibility of soldiers, expanding the territory, the merits of soldiers, fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and the glory of the kingdom. Now, I heard that the leader of the Snow Legion Arthur Hillow, led his troops to the orc wasteland... This king is sealed:"
Prince Hobbes deliberately paused, and after a series of descriptions of battlefield achievements, it was now considered to be the focus, and everyone raised their ears.
"Arthur Hillow is Viscount Jiayong..."
After Prince Hobbes finished speaking, the officer below forgot that this was the central army's tent and exploded in an instant.
"Qiudi! It turns out to be a Qiudi!"
"And it's a title!"
"According to three levels in a row! It's rare in the history of the kingdom!"
It is no wonder that the lower-class officers are so shocked. It is extremely difficult to be named in the Kingdom of Isaac. The graduates of the Blood Shallow Academy were only awarded the title of jazz. Now Arthur has been directly named viscount from a civilian, skipping the jazz and barons, which is a three-level promotion in a row.
What surprised and jealous of the following officers was that the Viscount Arthur, who had a title, had a title, was called a powerful title. The kingdom would then reward fiefs according to the title. If there was a fief, there would be taxes, and a private guard group could be formed.
The gap in privileges enjoyed between the strength and honorary titles of the kingdom is a huge difference.
In addition, Arthur's title actually has the word "yong". The title of title is not arbitrary. The title of title is "wu", "yong", "zhan", "yi" and other words are all the generals recognized by the king. For example, the title of deputy commander of the corps is "Yaowu" Marquis, and the former commander of the army Joshua was the Earl of "Yiyun".
This time, the title of Arthur is rare in history.
From this title, we can also see His Majesty Strech's attention to the next war between the human and beasts. The so-called reward must be brave. The king actually expressed his attitude by granting Arthur's title that all those who make great military achievements in this war will inevitably receive heavy rewards from the king.
