With the arrival of the bishop, Lord Epps Saville also quickly appeared, and he was teleported with Mage Aibok and Mayor Thain.
The moment Lord Epps arrived, starting from the statue of the Great Arcanist, the entire southern part of the square lit up, turning this somewhat dim snowy afternoon into a sunny noon.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the lord, and the lord's first words after appearing on the scene were, "People of the Saville Territory, the orc tide that has been threatening us in the past has disappeared forever!"
Roar--
The people on the "eight" side are quite restrained, but the ordinary citizens can no longer restrain the ecstasy in their hearts, especially those who have taken refuge in the town from villages outside the town.
They almost used all their strength to shout: "Saville! Live forever!"
"Saville, everlasting prosperity!"
The shouts became louder and louder, and became more and more uniform.
Seeing this scene, Lord Epps also raised his right hand and shouted, "Saville, may prosperity last forever!"
The fanatical atmosphere became more and more intense. Xia Duo was shocked when he looked at the frenzied citizens, not just because of the performance of these people.
More importantly, he felt that these people's fanatical shouts actually shook the magic network.
Once the magic net is shaken, there will be corresponding magical effects, and this effect actually makes these territorial citizens even more fanatical!
Xia Duo only felt his scalp tingling, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, but when he saw other mages and even the bishop of the temple turning a blind eye, he felt that he was making a fuss again.
Maybe this is the characteristic of another world!
"Subjects!" Lord Epps finally waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "It has been nearly a hundred years since our ancestors opened up the territory. It is only today that we have eliminated all powerful enemies and achieved a stable survival and development for the territory.
Thank you for your contribution to the environment!"
"The Savile family has never mistreated those who have made meritorious deeds, and the Savior Kingdom has never forgotten those who have made meritorious deeds. I, Epps Savile, in the name of my ancestor, the Great Arcanist Savile, and in the name of the lord of the empire, swear this
, I will fulfill the ancient agreement and confer honors and rewards on you."
Then, Lord Epps looked at Bishop Ambril and bowed first, "Bishop, in compliance with the ancient agreement, please ask the Lord of Glory to witness."
"My Lord, witness!" As he spoke, a glow like the warm sun appeared on Ambril's hand, but it was also filled with a sense of order and ruthlessness. As Ambril recited a few prayers, this glow rapidly expanded.
It opened up and enveloped the entire central square.
After receiving the response from the Lord of Glory, Lord Epps immediately called out a person's name, "Keyan Gaolan!"
"Lord!" Keyan immediately stepped out and knelt down on one knee in front of Lord Epps.
"Keyan Gaolan, my follower, you have outstanding command, bravery in battle, and defeated the orcs. You should be granted a title and your inheritance will never end." Epps took out a Tower of Time badge and personally placed it on the throne under the witness of the Lord of Glory.
A mark is left behind the badge——
But it’s a map of three villages in the west of Saville Territory!
"We must fulfill our responsibilities and protect them loyally!"
Epps tapped Keya'en's shoulder with the scepter of his left hand. In an instant, Keya'en was put on a brand new set of armor, which shone with a faint magical aura.
Then Lord Epps helped him up with his own hands, and the crowd suddenly cheered, "Keyan!"
Ke Yaen saluted the lord, showed off to the crowd, and then returned to his original position.
"Bergard!"
"Lord Lord!"
…
Shado watched Lord Epps keep giving rewards to his men, whether it was territory, money, or magic items, and his eyes were filled with tears.
I wish all those things would come into his arms.
Fortunately, when Lord Epps read out the list of those who had served but died in battle, Xia Duocai suddenly calmed down. These things would cost their lives after all.
There is an old saying on earth, which is called "One general's success will cost ten thousand bones."
Territory, money, status, and even magic items are all good things, but if the person dies, then everything stops. You have to fight hard, and that is for yourself, not for others.
The rewards for those who died in battle are still continuing. Although there are many rewards, they are mainly based on money and welfare. Compared with those who live to gain glory, they have simply fallen into the dust.
Soon, all rewards for non-spellcasters will be over.
The next step is the caster, and Xia Duo is also looking forward to it, because he is also among the rewarded personnel.
In fact, there were only a few spellcasters who came to watch the ceremony out of boredom, and the others were rewarded. The first one to receive the title was Master Aibo, whom Sha Duo had met.
Not long ago, he personally experienced the human body teleportation of Master Aibo. It felt so good, and the world changed in an instant, which made him very envious.
I saw, under the statue of the Grand Arcanist in front, Master Aibok bowed slightly to the lord, performed the etiquette between spellcasters, and then waited for the lord's reward.
"Aibok, my follower, my friend, my brother, should be rewarded with a title of land!"
Aibo wanted to refuse, but couldn't refuse in front of everyone, so he had to accept.
After Aibok, all the spell casters only received gold coins, but it was much richer than non-spell casters. Therefore, Sha Duo recognized most of the spell casters in the territory.
It was finally the apprentice's turn, and the first one to step forward turned out to be an ordinary apprentice. In addition to a Tower of Time badge and a word of encouragement, the lord's reward was an unconditional promotion to a formal apprentice.
The apprentices who follow are no exception. Ordinary apprentice badges + encouragement + upgrades. People who are formal apprentices do not need to upgrade, but there are no other rewards. They only have badges + encouragement.
This makes Xia Duo feel disappointed!
"Apprentice Shado!"
Finally it was Xia Duo's turn. Xia Duo quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Lord."
"I hope you have a smooth journey on your journey to arcana."
"Thank you, Lord Lord."
Xia Duo took the badge and saluted again, then turned around and raised the badge. He heard the people in the territory shouting his name sparsely - "Xia Duo!"
Sure enough, the more there are, the weaker people's passion will be.
Returning to their original positions, the apprentices behind them also stepped forward to receive their badges one by one, and then accepted the cheers of "everyone". The glory was reflected here.
Afterwards, everyone chanted the sacred motto of the Lord of Glory, and the radiance emitted by Bishop Ambril gradually converged until it disappeared.
The award ceremony is now coming to an end.
Xia Duo looked up at the Tower of Time and saw that the blue runes on the top of the tower had indicated that it was 6 pm. At this moment, except for the central square, which was always bright, it was dark outside.
