Lord of Lowland

Chapter 524 Going to the Royal Capital to Celebrate

In the midst of such quarrels, Cecil tried his best to disregard the opinions of his subordinates, assembled all the troops of the two knight orders, and withdrew to the south of Samara Province, the territory of the Kingdom of Sololand. When Mancini was in the province, Cecil implemented the Sanguang policy, burning all the cities in the province, moving all the rich merchants with him, and taking away all the materials that could be taken away.The once prosperous Hurricane City was turned into ruins in the raging fire.

The purpose of doing this is also very simple, which is to destroy the economic foundation of the Mancini province to the greatest extent. Since it cannot be ruled, it will leave a dilapidated province to the Aluk Empire.In this way, the population and resources will continue to transfer to the Samara province ruled by Cecil, making his territory more and more prosperous.At this time, Cecil was still thinking about how to develop the Samara province, obviously planning to spend his whole life here.However, in his opinion, these things are just done casually, and the things he cares most about are Sandro's things.

After returning to his own city, Cecil received an order from His Majesty the King. In order to celebrate this victory, His Majesty the King decided to hold a huge celebration in the city of Issara.He ordered all the bloody generals on the front line to rush to the palace to celebrate within a month. At the same time, His Majesty the King expressed his approval for Cecil's killing of the Grand Knight Bartley, and His Majesty the King also believed that the Grand Knight Bartley He deserved to die, and handed over the Blood Eagle Knights to Cecil, giving Cecil the authority to freely appoint the head of the Blood Eagle Knights.

Although it was similar to what he had expected, Cecil was still surprised that the king trusted him and supported him so much. He thought that the king would at least condemn him or say something wrong, but he didn't expect the king's letter to him. affim.He didn't feel any dissatisfaction because he killed Bartley Grand Knight without authorization.The king's tolerance made Cecil a little embarrassed.I feel that what I did this time is really disrespectful to the king. It is better not to be so tyrannical and domineering in the future. It is better to communicate with the king before taking action.

The range of generals summoned by King Rex this time is very wide. Cecil not only wants to go there by himself, but generals like Rex and Corinne can go there together, because Cecil's army has contributed to this battle. Zhiwei, so even many of the paladins trained by Cecil himself have been promoted to the rank of lieutenant of the knight order, and the king favored them to participate in this huge celebration.To show His Majesty the king's grace to Cecil.

What's more important is that the king promoted all the officials under Cecil to a higher level, and even knighted Rekel and Corinne. Although they have not yet entered the ranks of nobles, they have obviously touched the nobles On the verge, and Cecil, His Majesty the King's case revealed that it is very likely that there will be further promotions at the celebration ceremony.

Everyone was overjoyed after receiving this notice, even those generals who were dissatisfied with Cecil's withdrawal were also very happy for the king's grace.Everyone hastily selected more than a dozen good horses and galloped towards the city of Issara overnight. Of course, Annie was among them. I am very happy.

But what is strange this time is that Cecil's teacher, Collins, did not receive any reward from His Majesty the King, nor was he invited to this banquet. This may be because Collins is still working in the Shrine of Dawn, and it is inconvenient for the secular aspects of the kingdom to grant him a seal. However, Cecil's instructor is actually not interested in these so-called promotions in the world. This thing will not make the teacher have any complaints and dissatisfaction, so he doesn't care. Cecil put his troops in Before leaving, he handed it over to his teacher Collins. In the absence of Cecil and these generals, he really needs someone who can hold the ground to lead the team, and Collins is also the most suitable candidate.

Everyone rushed to the city of Isara several days earlier than usual. The atmosphere in Isara was already happy and peaceful. As soon as they arrived in Isara, Cecil was recognized by the gate officer at the gate of the city. , now everyone in the whole kingdom knew that Cecil was the hero of this war. As soon as this group of people entered the city, they immediately became the objects of others.Not only the king and nobles were happy to defeat the Eluk Empire, but even ordinary citizens would be extremely happy.After everyone entered the city gate, the king's messenger came to Cecil and his party, and asked Cecil to lead them into the palace to meet the king.

Cecil was stunned for a moment. He thought that the king would receive him alone at most, but he didn't expect that His Majesty the King would receive all the people. This was a great honor to him.Immediately without stopping, Cecil immediately brought everyone to the palace.

Before he reached the gate of the palace, Cecil saw a group of people waiting for him from a distance. When he got closer, he saw that it was King Rex who came out of the gate of the palace to welcome him.Cecil was really flattered. The king came out of the palace to greet him. This can be said to be a very great courtesy. Cecil and others hurriedly got off their horses and saluted His Majesty the king.King Rex hurriedly took Cecil's hand and laughed loudly: "I missed you very much when I left last time. When I came back this time, you have become the hero of the kingdom. I knew it a long time ago. This kind of talent will not be buried, hahahaha!"

Cecil hastened to be humble with His Majesty the King: "I just did what I should do, and it was all thanks to His Majesty the King's blessing. I only made a little achievement today, and I really don't deserve such grand etiquette from His Majesty the King." I'm kind of flattered to have you entertain me."

Seeing Cecil's modesty, King Rex showed a satisfied expression on his face: "Cecil, you are too humble to say that, you defeated Aluk with the least force in the kingdom's three lines. The central line of the empire’s strength can be said to have contributed the most, and your attitude of not taking credit makes me appreciate it even more. If every noble in the kingdom has such qualities as you, I, the king, will really be able to sit back and relax.”

After hearing this, Cecil hurriedly expressed his humility, and the two sides exchanged polite words with each other. Cecil then introduced the others to His Majesty the King, and when he introduced Anne, His Majesty the King nodded lightly on the surface, but He took a meaningful look.
