In the midst of such a quarrel, Cecil ignored the opinions of his subordinates, gathered all the forces of the two knights, and withdrew south to the province of Samara, the territory of the kingdom of Soroland. The once-bustling city of Hurricanes was reduced to ruins in that raging fire.

The purpose of this is also very simple, that is, to destroy the economic base of the province of Mancini to the greatest extent, since it cannot be ruled, then leave the Elok Empire with a ruined province. In this way, the population and resources will continue to move to the province of Samara, which Cecil ruled, and make his territory more and more prosperous. At this time, Cecil was still thinking about how to develop the province of Samara, and was obviously preparing to work here for the rest of his life. However, in his opinion, these things are just done easily, and the things he cares about most are Sandru's affairs.

After returning to his hometown, Cecil received orders from His Majesty the King, who decided to hold a great celebration in the city of Isalla to celebrate this victory. At the same time, His Majesty the King approved of Cecil's killing of the Grand Knight of Bartlet, and the King also believed that the Knight of Bartlet was innocent, and handed over the Blood Eagle Knights to Cecil, giving Cecil the authority to appoint the head of the Blood Eagle Knights freely.

Although it was similar to what he expected, Cecil was surprised that the king trusted him so much, and he thought that the king should at least condemn himself or say something wrong, but he did not expect that the king's letter was completely positive for him. I didn't feel any resentment about killing the Grand Knight of Bartlet. The king's leniency made Cecil a little embarrassed. I feel that this time I did too little to give His Majesty the face of the King, and it is better not to be so arrogant and domineering in this kind of thing in the future, and it is better to communicate with His Majesty before acting.

This time, King Rex summoned a wide range of generals, Cecil not only had to go over by himself, but also the generals of Rex and Corion could go together, because Cecil's army played a great role in this battle, so even many of the paladins trained by Cecil himself were also promoted to the rank of captain of the Knights, and the generals were also blessed by the king to participate in this huge celebration. to show His Majesty's grace to Cecil.

What's more, the king promoted all of Cecil's officials to a higher rank, and knighted both Rekel and Corion, although they have not yet entered the ranks of the nobility, but they have obviously touched the edge of the nobility, and Cecil, His Majesty the King revealed that it is very likely that there will be further promotions at the celebration ceremony.

The crowd was overjoyed when they received this notice, and even the generals who were dissatisfied with Cecil's withdrawal were very happy with the king's grace. Everyone hurriedly selected a dozen good horses and galloped towards the city of Isara, and of course Anne was among them, this powerful dragon vein warlock was also a little girl after all, and she was always very happy about such celebrations and other things.

However, the strange thing this time is that Cecil's teacher Collins did not have any reward from His Majesty the King, nor was he invited to this banquet, which may be because Collins is still serving in the Temple of Dawn, and it is inconvenient for the kingdom to be crowned in the secular aspect, but Cecil's instructor is actually not interested in these so-called officials in the world, and this thing will not make the teacher have any complaints and dissatisfaction, so he doesn't care, Cecil handed over his troops to his teacher Collins before leaving, In the absence of Cecil and these generals, there is a real need for someone who can hold the line to lead the team, and Collins is also the most suitable candidate.

Everyone hurried up, several days faster than usual to the city of Isara, the city of Ishara was already a happy and peaceful atmosphere, as soon as they arrived in the city of Isala, Cecil was recognized by the city gate officer, and now the whole kingdom knows that Cecil is the hero of this war, and as soon as this group of people enters the city, they immediately become the object of other people's stars. The defeat of the Elok Empire was a joy not only for the kings and nobles, but also for ordinary citizens. When the people had entered the gates, the king's messenger came to Cecil and his party, and asked Cecil to lead the people into the palace to meet the king.

Cecil was stunned for a moment, he thought that the king would receive him at most, but he didn't expect that His Majesty would receive everyone, which was a great honor for himself. Without even stopping, Cecil immediately led the people to the palace.

Before he reached the gate of the palace, Cecil saw a group of people waiting for him from a distance, and when he got closer, he saw that it was King Rex who was coming out of the palace gate to greet him. Cecil was really a little flattered, the king came out of the palace to greet him, which can also be said to be a very big etiquette, Cecil and the others hurriedly dismounted and saluted His Majesty. King Rex hurriedly took Cecil's hand and laughed: "I missed you very much last time I said goodbye, but this time when I came back, you have become a hero of the kingdom, I have long known that talents like you will not be buried, hahahaha!" ”

Cecil hurriedly humbled with His Majesty the King: "I just did what I should do, it was all thanks to His Majesty's blessings, I only have a small achievement today, and I really don't deserve the King to entertain me with such a grand courtesy, I am really a little flattered." ”

King Rex saw Cecil so modest, and his face showed a look of satisfaction: "Cecil, you are too modest to say this, you have defeated the powerful middle line of the Illuk Empire with the least number of troops in the three lines of the kingdom, which can be described as a great contribution, and your attitude of not taking credit makes me appreciate it even more, if every nobleman in the kingdom has such a quality as you, I, the king, will really sit back and relax." ”

Cecil hurriedly expressed his modesty when he heard this, and the two sides exchanged a polite remark, and Cecil introduced the others to His Majesty, and when Anne was introduced, His Majesty nodded lightly, but gave him a meaningful look.
