Lord Highlander

  Chapter 486 485. Under the dinner

  The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and Marquis Luther and some senior generals walked in from outside.

The soldiers eating in the restaurant stopped the tableware in their hands at the same time, and everyone's eyes fell on several senior generals on the stage. The leading middle-aged officer was wearing a neat uniform of the Bernard Army. It was the Marquis Luther with a chest There are three gold medals that symbolize identity and glory, including the Marquis Medal, the Grand Knight Medal, and the Lord Medal. Each one is heavy and very weighty.

The other generals beside him also have a string of medals hanging on their chests, but the gold and silver medals are mostly mixed, and they look so dazzling, as if a senior general does not have a string of medals on his chest, he cannot show his noble status Same.

  The restaurant fell silent for an instant.

Suldak has recently heard a lot of rumors about the Marquis of Luther. It is said that he is a member of the noble lords of the main battle faction headed by the Duke of Newman. Regiment, a heavy armored infantry regiment and a longbow archer regiment, a powerful main battle regiment, it seems that this bearded archer should be the archer of the archer regiment under Marquis Luther.

  Marquis Luther stood on the stage with piercing eyes. He looked around, his eyes fell on every soldier, and he said to everyone with a serious face:

"The Maca plane In the past few decades, the Cerberus Legion captured the Maca plane for the first time. This time the war broke out quickly and the attack was fierce, and the Cerberus Legion pointed directly at Wo, the central city of the empire in the Maca plane. In just half a month, the surrounding area of ​​Wojmara City was wiped out by hellhounds. Even the situation in Wojmara City was in danger, but when the horn of war sounded, The legions were transferred from their respective defense areas to the city of Wojmara. Everyone cooperated sincerely and jointly resisted the Cerberus Legion. Not only did they curb the siege crisis of the Cerberus Legion, but they also repelled the Cerberus Legion in just over a month. The victory of the Imperial Plane War has drawn a strong stroke.

  Just two days ago, I received a letter from the Duke of Newman. The Duke highly praised the performance of the legions in this plane war.

  We were able to stabilize the situation on the Maca plane so quickly, so that the main force of the Bena Legion in the Warsaw plane has no worries.

  I invite you here to honor the outstanding contributors in each legion. "

  He walked to the dining table in the first row and looked at the knight who put the cast iron helmet on the dining table. The knight stood up quickly from his seat and looked straight ahead.

  Marquis Luther looked down at the dark black iron helmet, reached out and touched the scratches on the helmet, and then said to the knight:

"Alec Gardner, an outstanding cavalryman in the 79th Heavy Cavalry Regiment of the Bena Army, the most brilliant achievement is that he led 15 heavy cavalrymen under his command to penetrate the Cerberus camp 17 times. The sixteen guard battalions sent out the city of Wojmara... the Silver Cavalry Medal."

   While speaking, an adjutant beside him came up with a tray covered with red velvet. Marquis Luther reached out and took out a silver medal from the tray to wear on the knight's chest.

  Suldak felt that the air around him became hot. The soldiers who were discussing food just now looked at the heavy cavalry with eager eyes.

  However, Suldak didn't feel much about it. For a veteran who left the barracks, this kind of medal was almost useless except to represent the glory of the past.

  The soldiers in the dining room stared at Marquis Luther’s footsteps, and everyone turned their attention to the heavily armored warrior who was leaning on a tower shield behind the chair next to him. Marquis Luther also looked at him with a smile, and said kindly:

"Captain David Lewis, your heavy armored infantry regiment is stationed at the Moria Pass this time, blocking the remnants of the Cerberus Legion from penetrating into the Maca plane, and defending the vast land of the Maca plane. This silver shield belongs to you !"

"Jesse, Quartermaster of the Logistics Department, you and your logistics transportation group sent supplies to various theaters, and encountered dozens of sneak attacks by Cerberus every day. The damage of the material transportation group in this battle was second only to Wo The Defense Department of Rimara City hereby rewards you with a Silver Ear of Wheat Medal."

   "Golden Lake,...Silver Crusader"

   “…Medal of Courage”

   "...Order of Clover"

Every time Marquis Luther walked in front of a soldier, he could accurately call out the name of the soldier and the outstanding contributions he made without being reminded by the adjutant next to him. It seemed that he had made sufficient preparations for tonight's dinner. His name was recorded by Marquis Luther, which was almost a great encouragement to the soldiers present.

   There were 20 warriors participating in this dinner, and soon he came to the bearded archer.

The bearded archer seemed a little excited. He deliberately stood up early, took a deep breath, retracted his bloated stomach, straightened his waist, and the fat piled on his stomach seemed to be squeezed all at once. When it reaches the chest, the whole person becomes different in an instant.

"Darryl, the archer who shot and killed three devil's sons one after another. Each devil's son is more dangerous than the three hellhounds. For us, the first task is to kill them in their infancy. At present There are nearly 2,000 Rangers from the Intelligence Agency going deep into the Maca plane to investigate the devil's son lurking in the plane, and this Eagle Eye Medal belongs to you," said Marquis Luther.

  The Bearded Archer was originally called Darryl.

  Marquis Luther personally put the medal on Darryl's chest. Darryl gave a military salute to Marquis Luther with wet eyes.

When Marquis Luther appeared in front of Suldak again, Suldak suddenly felt that his face seemed a little familiar. His pair of bright blue eyes contained an extremely firm will, which made Suldak rush Hold your breath.

"Suldak, Knight of the Guard Battalion, stay in the defensive zone of Wojmara city defense, insist on treating wounded soldiers in the rear after changing defenses, you know? Now the veterans of Wojmara city defense team may I don’t know me, but there must be no one who doesn’t know you, but unfortunately you have already retired and become a knight of the local guard battalion, not under the jurisdiction of the Bena Army Department. In view of your outstanding performance, you will be awarded the honorary title of first-class knight of the Green Empire.” Marquis Luther said humorously.

   There was a burst of laughter in the restaurant.

  Suldak thought he could also get a Red Cross medal or something, but he didn't expect Marquis Luther to be promoted to his knight rank.

   After issuing all the rewards, before leaving, Marquis Luther walked up to Suldak again:

   "Suldak?"

   "Yes, Lord Marquis!"

   "I heard that you can perceive holy magic elements and use holy light?"

   "Yes, Lord Marquis!"

"Have you ever thought about going further? I mean becoming a nobleman. Since you can perceive magic elements, you are qualified to apply for promotion to nobleman based on your conditions. I can be your recommender. The province of Bena needs you to be so outstanding." young man." Marquis Luther asked Suldak with a smile.

   "..."

  There is a clear dividing line between civilians and nobles, and the identities of both parties cannot be changed at will.

   Aristocrats who want to become commoners only need to give up their own glory.

But civilians want to be promoted to nobles, no matter how much military merit they accumulate, there is only one way in the Grimm Empire, which is to participate in the awakening ceremony at the age of twelve. Only by becoming a magician can a commoner become a magician nobleman. Identity cannot be changed at will.

  Although Suldak did not awaken the magic pool, he sensed the magic element and became a paladin who practiced both magic and martial arts.

  Marquis Luther is willing to be Suldak's recommender, which shows that the Marquis appreciates Suldak very much.

"The process of being promoted to a nobleman is a little troublesome. I have already written a letter of recommendation to the Imperial Council. It is estimated that there will be a reply within three months. At that time, someone will investigate you. As long as your identity and resume are okay, it will probably be soon. You will become a third-class baron, I hope you can continue to maintain your original intention in the future..."

   "..."

  In fact, Suldak wanted to tell Marquis Luther that it would be good to be a canonized knight. In Wall Village, there is not much difference between a knight and a baron. I really can't stand the investigation...

  Looking at the envious eyes cast by the soldiers around him, Suldak felt an unspeakable anguish in his heart.

  …

  The departure of the Hailansa Guard Battalion from Wojmara was on the agenda, and Suldak waited in the camp for seven days.

Outside the city, guard battalions left Vojmara one after another. The knights sold their trophies to merchants. They exchanged some of their military achievements for gold coins, and made a lot of purchases in Vojmara City. There are many local specialties, especially some tyro fruits. In the city of Wojmara, the price of this kind of fruit can be said to be very cheap. As long as these tyro fruits are brought back to the city of Bena, the price will immediately increase by 30%.

  Finally, it was time to leave. The Hailansa Guard Battalion received an order from the military headquarters and will return to Bena City through the portal in the city center at night.

  During the day, all the tents in the Hailansa Guard Battalion had been packed, and almost every knight had prepared a huge luggage. The garrison by the moat looked like a mess, with some household garbage everywhere.

  The war horses that the military department promised to distribute to each knight did not materialize until the end of the war.

  Suldak gave Andrew a one-day vacation to say goodbye to his family. This time he returned to Hailansa, and it was impossible to return to Wozhimara for at least three years.

   While he sneaked into the city to join Samira, Suldak found Da Jinxi again. This slave trader with a scar on his face had already learned of Suldak's return tonight.

Da Jinxi hid Aphrodite in an oak barrel, and cleverly interlayered tartar jam at both ends of the oak barrel, making this oak barrel look like a whole barrel of jam. Entering the cargo box of a large caravan, the commercial trade of Wojmara City has been booming recently, almost all the caravans are passing through the portal during the day, and a long row of carriages are lined up in the central square , extending several kilometers away.

In front of the portal, several city guards inspected these wagons. The steward of the caravan showed a nonchalant expression, and handed a hollow pipe thorn to one of the city guards, asking him to stab these oak barrels casually. A city guard pierced more than a dozen wooden barrels in a row, and the finger-thick circular hole of tartar jam contained in it gurgled out, and the caravan waiter waiting beside him would quickly fill the hole with a cork.

   Almost every truck is randomly inspected before letting these wagons pass through the portal.

After witnessing Aphrodite hiding in the wooden barrel pass through the portal safely, and setting up a pick-up location in Bena City with Da Jinxi, Suldak and Samira hurried back to the Hailansa guard camp. When passing through the city gate, Andrew was waiting at the gate of the city with luggage on his back. When he saw Suldak and Samira, he hurriedly followed them with his luggage on his back.

  The knights of the Hailansa Guard Battalion carried a few packages, large and small, and were ready to go in the station.

  Only the ogre looked like doing nothing. Gulitham didn't carry any luggage on his body, and he didn't know who made a deal with the ogre. The ten large iron pots in the guard camp were carried behind the ogre like a thick round shield, but he was so happy These big iron pots should allow him to have a good meal.

  Karl saw Suldak bring Andrew and Samira back to the team, and quickly waved to them, motioning them to quickly enter the team.

Karl knew that the half-elf archer Samira had been living in the city, but he didn't make any clear statement about it. This was mainly because a half-elf girl lived in the barracks, and many things were not quite right for the knights in the guard camp. convenient.

  So Suldak arranged for the half-elf archer to live in the city, and Karl just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

The Hailansa Guard Battalion is lined up behind the Guard Battalion of Pules City. Before nightfall, pass through the main city gate of Wojmara, walk along the central street and walk directly to the central square. At night in Wojmara City, the portal enters the military control At this moment, a team of guard battalion knights lined up and walked into the door.

Suldak looked at the portal like a mirror, followed the knight in front and walked in. The warm and watery touch enveloped his body. For a moment, he seemed to be in a void of weightlessness. When the warm water wrapped around his body receded, he was already Standing in front of the portal of Bena City.

  The guard at the teleportation gate shouted in a hoarse voice: "Go on, don't stop...don't block here, go ahead..."

   "beep..."

  The police whistle rang throughout the square in an instant, and all the guards within a hundred meters around the portal quickly approached.

   The ogre Gullitum stood at the exit of the portal with a dazed expression, facing the two bed crossbows on the high tower at the portal, and raised his hands stupidly.

   "What's the matter with this ogre, where did he come from..." The portal guards fell into a half-mad state for a while, and each of them stared like a copper bell, shouting hysterically at the knights of the guard camp.

   "Gulitum is our companion..."

  A guard battalion knight quickly explained.

   At this time, Suldak hurriedly rushed to the front, took out the teleportation permit of the ogre Gulitum, and handed it to the teleportation guard for inspection.

  This sudden accident is considered to have calmed down...
