The celebration was still going on, and Uta continued to introduce the nobles present to Kane.
However, Kane's attention was no longer here, and he kept thinking about the cold eyes of the mage just now.
It wasn't until His Majesty's arrival that he woke up.
"Your Excellency Kane, look, your majesty is coming!"
Hearing Uta's voice, Kane looked up.
A man wearing a crown and a golden robe with a serious expression on his face walked into the atrium with several extraordinary people behind him.
All the nobles around, including Kane, hurriedly knelt on one knee and paid their respects to His Majesty.
"Get up, everyone." A deep and majestic voice sounded in everyone's ears.
Everyone stood up again and looked at His Majesty the King.
At this moment, the king's face finally changed a little, his serious expression eased a little, and turned into a smile.
“Everyone is welcome to this celebration and I am delighted that you are all here.”
His Majesty the King took the drink brought by the waiter and held it up high.
"Then, raise a glass to our victory over the Orc Empire!"
"Raise your glass!"
"Raise your glass!"
The nobles raised their drinks one after another, responding to the king's call.
This His Majesty took the first sip, followed by all the nobles.
"The victory in this battle is very hard-won. Not only our compatriots on the front line are fighting for it, but also the soldiers guarding the border are working hard for it."
"Today, I deliberately chose this day of celebration to give awards to these heroes who have worked hard in the battle."
"Papa papa."
With the end of His Majesty's speech, all the nobles couldn't help applauding.
Amid the warm applause, the king began to read out the list of awards.
"First of all, the Grand Duke of Water, Kate Weiss, who bravely killed the enemy on the frontline battlefield and captured the first orc city-state for us."
"Papa papa." There was another burst of applause.
"The second is the Duke of Vidofah, Bod Weiss, who guards the western border and prevents the orcs from invading."
"Papa papa" the nobles applauded again.
King Andena continued to speak: "The following are some great heroes who fought bravely for our Kingdom of Dylan and continuously defeated the enemy. They are Earl Yoder, Elim Charles, Parsons Marquis, Yuri Andrey, Count Wind, Kemer Sachs."
The applause given to these nobles was obviously smaller than that of the previous two dukes. No matter in terms of status or merit, the latter few were indeed unable to compare with the two dukes.
After the applause, the king continued to read the list of three or four nobles. They either made great achievements on the frontline battlefield, or fought hard to repel the orcs on the border.
Just as Kane's palms were already numb, and he thought it was about to end, the king suddenly paused. He turned his head and looked at Kane with majestic eyes, but there was a smile on his face.
He murmured: "Of course, I will never forget, our hero who guards the southern border, Baron Riggett, Kane Gerrard."
Although he was still thinking about whether there was meritorious service in this matter before, Kane was still a little confused when the king read his name.
I don't know if it was joy or surprise, but an inexplicable emotion filled Kane's heart.
Greeting the king's eyes, and the expressions of "it's him" from many nobles, Kane stood up and saluted everyone beside him.
Juta's eyes were full of excitement, he knew that Kane would be rewarded, he waved his hands excitedly and applauded.
Following Juta's first applause, both Catherine and Sitz beside him also applauded quickly.
Applause came from the position of the Marquis Ebard in the distance, and several nobles who wanted to please him also applauded, and then more and more people applauded, and finally everyone applauded for him, including very Appreciate his king.
"clap clap"
The applause continued, and Kane had to stand up again, thanking everyone.
King Andena also said: "I also invite these eight heroes of the kingdom that I just read to come forward and stand beside me. I have specially prepared special awards for you."
Just after King Andena finished speaking, a group of bands came from nowhere, and they played melodious and comfortable tunes. Led by the two dukes, the award-winning crowd stood beside the king one after another.
Several servants walked out of the city tower, holding heavy golden medals, unusual silver swords, or crystal-shaped longbows in their hands.
Kane recognized those silver swords and longbows at a glance. They were all made of expensive supernatural materials, and added magic enchantments. If a first-order supernatural took this weapon, the combat power would be at least increased to The degree of first-order high position.
These kinds of weapons, which are hard to find in the market, are now taken out by the king in large quantities to reward these nobles.
The king took the medal from the servant and came to the Grand Duke of Water.
The other party knelt down on one knee very cooperatively, lowered his head, and raised his hands.
The king handed over the medal to him, took the silver sword from the servant, and handed it to the Grand Duke of Water.
"Kais Weiss, in view of your heroic performance in fighting the enemy on the battlefield, breaking the orc army along the way, and leading our army to capture the orc city-state of Adsam within three days, I am determined to award you Medals such as Durrant."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Grand Duke of Water, who was kneeling on the ground, said gratefully.
After conferring this order, the King came before Duke Vidovah again.
Still following the previous steps, the medal was placed in his hands, but in terms of weapons, the king handed over the longbow to the opponent.
"Borde Weiss, in view of the fact that you led the orc invasion of all regions on the western border, not only repulsed the opponent's blood and bone legion, but also killed Akar, the third-ranked high-ranking orc swordsman of the legion, I am determined to grant You, Dillant, are waiting for a medal."
Duke Widofah also knelt on one knee and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
According to the procedure, His Majesty the King awarded medals and weapons to these twenty heroes with great merit.
Finally, the other party came to Kane after awarding the person in front of Kane.
The king's face also softened, and he looked at Kane with a smile on his face.
His Majesty Andena seemed to appreciate this young man who blocked the invasion of the orc army by himself.
Kane knelt down on one knee, raised his hands, and took the medal and long sword from the king.
"Kane Gerald, since you are on the southern border, leading a small number of soldiers, resisted the invasion of the orc legion with great difficulty, and finally repelled it, and solved the problem of the commander of the opposing legion, Di Keluo. , I am determined to award you the second-class Medal of Dylan."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Kane, who was kneeling on the ground, thanked him.
At this point, the hour-long awarding of medals came to an end.
