While I was thinking, I walked to the center of power in the Tai Long Empire. I walked to the meeting hall in the palace and walked in front of Altais III.
After bowing to His Majesty, I raised my head. Only then did he realize that there were many familiar faces around him. Teacher Will, Great Mage Cain, Divine Knight Leon…
Of course, there were also many old men that I had never seen before. They were all staring at me. Indeed, I am the main character today, the one whom His Majesty has made an exception to summon.
"Fertility Star, the knight who has brought endless honor to my Tai Long Empire, make your request in the solemn hall. You are qualified to receive the reward you deserve!”
An old and dignified voice rang out in the hall.
I turned my gaze to the source of the voice, Altais III, who held the highest authority in the Eastern Continent.
In my opinion, although this old man was still as dignified as before, he had aged a lot compared to when I had left Farbeni. The wrinkles that had already covered his forehead had become even deeper. It seemed that he had been quite worried about the war in the east. Fortunately, I had solved his problem for him, and in a certain sense, I had given him a few more years of life.
Facing his question, I had a myriad of thoughts. I actually didn't know how to answer. I just stood there in a daze. A minute, two minutes passed like this.
"Because of your great achievements for the Empire, my knight, you can state your request. I can satisfy any of your requests. Inexhaustible wealth, illustrious titles, or top-notch beauties.”His Majesty clearly thought that I didn't hear him clearly. He patiently repeated the generous reward he had given me to the knight he had always liked.
What conditions? Don't look at how beautiful you are, if I make an excessive request, I'll see if you'll still be so kind.
Don't tell me that you'll agree to me if I say that I want to sit in your position for two days? But what do I need?
Wealth, that money is useless to me. Do I have any bad habits? Even if I buy something, the royal family will reimburse me. Wealth is of no use to me.
The title of nobility is not something that can be easily obtained. My teacher and the others are all Dukes. As long as I become a Great Magus Teacher, I can naturally obtain it with my own strength.
As for top-notch beauties, I know what the concept of top-notch beauties is just by looking at His Majesty's harem. Other than the Empress, Princess Lia's mother, who can reach this standard, the rest are quite different.
I think it's hard to compare to the one who once appeared in my heart
Of course, she was a goddess. How could ordinary women be compared to her in terms of beauty? I think Princess Liya can still be compared to him. Who asked her to be an exception!
In order to avoid being rewarded with a dinosaur, I gave up on this tempting opportunity.
Later on, I realized how wise my decision was. If I accepted the beauty…
Haha, my days will be difficult when I go to Princess Liya's place, and I won't have the chance to take this number one beauty of the Tai Long Empire into my family.
Even though that would be a year later.
Since there was nothing I wanted, I was already very satisfied with the current treatment. I might as well be generous. I puffed out my chest and stated my request under everyone's expectant gazes.
"Your Majesty, as a knight of the Tai Long Empire, it is my duty to protect my homeland. When everyone was fighting against the Beastmen, Constellation did not do a good job.”
"When Commander Dongfang Yun led 200,000 of the best human knights to deal the final blow against the beast army that had the absolute advantage, Constellation had already fled with my troops.”
"Where was Xingchen when the soldiers of the Ao Long Castle fell under the blades of the beastmen? Where was Constellation when the guards of Meria were defending the dignity of mankind with their blood and lives on the city walls? At that time, I was leisurely riding on my warhorse.”
"What credit do I have to speak of? Standing here, I only have a deep sense of guilt for the soldiers who lost their lives because of my poor command! If His Majesty wanted to reward them, he should reward those brave warriors who fought and sacrificed for the country.”
In order to match my words, I slowly lowered my head. My eyes were a little moist.
In my clever words, it seemed that I was talking about my own mistakes, but if you think about it carefully, it was not difficult to find that my heroic deeds were all in these three things.
I think the wise and mighty emperor would have noticed it!
As expected, when everyone was surprised by my words and actions, His Majesty the Emperor spoke.
"I'm very happy to hear such touching words.”
"Indeed, those warriors who fought hard have contributed a lot, but don't you have any credit?”
"Facing the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of orcs, you seized the opportunity to lead less than 10,000 people to break out of the encirclement before they could stabilize their footing. This shows your calm and decisiveness.”
"Against thirty thousand pursuers, you single-handedly covered the rear of the troops and destroyed all the attacking troops while being shot by five arrows. This shows your benevolence and bravery.”
" In the face of a lone army, lacking in food and manpower, you were able to launch a surprise attack on the sunrise City and destroy the Orcs 'logistics, forcing them to retreat. This shows your perseverance and wisdom. Wasn't such a huge battle merit enough to explain everything?”
The ministers below all agreed that if such a great contribution was not rewarded, not only would the soldiers not be convinced, but even the civilians of the Tai Long Empire would not agree.
In order to comply with the public opinion, he had to reward them with something that was equivalent to his contribution.
Of course, I repeatedly declined, claiming that what I had done was just a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning. Will and the others who were familiar with me smiled at me, their eyes filled with admiration.
In the end, the supreme emperor made a decision.
"In view of the outstanding performance of the Royal Knight Fertility Star in battle, as well as his humble attitude towards meritorious service.”
"In the name of the Emperor of the Tai Long Empire, Altais the Third, Feng Rao Xing Chen is conferred the title of Viscount of the Empire, and his fief is the Dragon Rider County of the Dragon Plateau. Promoted to the captain of the Fertile Stars as the commander of the 13th division of the Royal Dragon Knights."
"The Imperial Dragon Knight Regiment doesn't have the setup of an ordinary army. There are only divisions under it. The position of a major general is equivalent to the position of a middle general in an ordinary army.”
"A mansion and 100,000 gold coins.”
Originally, I wanted to bestow ten beautiful women, but after my strong opposition, it showed that I was still young and wholeheartedly wished to continue cultivating. I didn't want to be distracted by this. In the end, Altais III withdrew this reward.
After that, His Majesty the Emperor gave three times the salary to all the soldiers who participated in the war, and gave generous compensation to all the soldiers who died or were disabled in the war. They immediately received unanimous support.
When news of my performance in the meeting hall spread from some of the officials, not only did I receive the support of the civilians, but I also received the worship of the soldiers. Another superhero of the Tai Long Empire was born.
