Chapter 575: Duke Oberline
Grom's announcement quickly caught the attention of the orcs. Although the orcs are easily recognizable because of their appearance, they do not have spies in the human country, but there is no shortage of human traitors in any world. Yu Fei's current reputation in the human country was soon known to the orcs.
This time, Yu Feike became a thorn in the side of the orc clan. The title of the nation's hero is based on the corpses of 300,000 orcs, and to the orcs Yu Fei is the executioner, though they go far further than that of humans.
Naturally, the orcs also had the idea of killing Yu Fei, the national hero of the human race, and completely destroying the fighting spirit of the human race. However, Yu Fei's strength was too strong, and even Grom, who was already one of the strongest among the new orcs, could not get a favor under Yu Fei, so this matter still needed to be considered in the long run, so it was temporarily suppressed by the orcs.
Yu Fei naturally didn't know what the orcs thought, and he was now in a state of blissful distress.
If he could, Yu Fei really didn't want to let in the batch of refugees from the Falling Moon Kingdom at that time. Because this group of refugees was like an introduction, the other residents of the original city of Cirek also came back and asked to return to their homes.
Since the first batch has been put in, it is naturally difficult for the subsequent refugees to refuse. As a result, in just two or three days, the city of Cirek became bustling, and it no longer had the solemnity of the previous complete military rule. Although Grom's Blade Storm caused a lot of damage to the city, at that time, Grom mainly targeted a few mage towers in the city, and the destroyed houses were only incidental to the action. It didn't destroy much.
Just a few dwellings. In the hands of the enthusiastic residents of Ciric City after returning to their hometown. It was soon rebuilt. Even Paramount commanded a portion of the troops and was involved in the reconstruction. However, the name used was naturally the order of Lord Earl Oberline, because it was a violation of military discipline to let the army do such a thing without permission.
Paramount is well-intentioned, and this kind of thing will make Yu Fei's popularity even higher. However, this brought some trouble to Yu Fei.
Don't get me wrong, it's a nuisance, but it's actually not a bad thing. It's just that where Yu Fei lives, the residents of Ciric City always come in an endless stream to pay homage to Yu Fei, who is dressed in black robes, and at the same time express their heartfelt gratitude and high respect.
If such a person is just one or two. Then Yu Fei will be happy; Five or six words, I will also be happy and proud. But every day, hundreds of people would either work in groups or groups or gather together to do so, which really annoyed Yu Fei.
Fortunately, three days later, Shirek City received an order from the Holy Lion Empire, allowing Yu Fei to be freed.
The Imperial order was for Paramount, with his Eighth Army, to remain in garrison of Cirek and prevent the orcs from continuing to attack from here. The Falling Moon Kingdom is a vassal kingdom of the Holy Lion Empire, and it can be regarded as a barrier for the empire in the face of orc attacks, so it will place a large number of troops here.
As for the New Fourth Army, they were ordered to return to the Holy Imperial Capital with Yu Fei, and at the same time escort the less than 30,000 orc captives. Paramount was only the commander of the Eighth Army, and it was obviously impossible for him to control two legions for a long time.
Bombarded by the words of gratitude from the residents of Ciric City, Yu Fei was extremely happy to receive this magic message. Immediately set off with the New Fourth Army. It is worth mentioning that the temporary commander of the New Fourth Army has now become himself. After all, an army without a leader will not work.
Compared to Yu Fei's own speed on the Divine Giant Wolf, the speed of the New Fourth Army returning to the Sacred Imperial Capital was much slower. In particular, they escorted more than 20,000 orc captives, and no matter where they passed, they would fall into the situation of being watched. Fortunately, the Falling Moon Kingdom was already adjacent to the Holy Lion Empire, and ten days later, the New Fourth Army still returned to the Southern Sacred Pass.
At the beginning, the Night Elf Clan came in from the Western Sacred Pass outside the Sacred Imperial Capital, but Yu Fei of the Southern Sacred Pass had never seen it. When passing by the South Saint Pass, Yu Fei also deliberately observed whether there was also the kind of space transfer magic circle that the West Saint Pass had at that time. However, it may only be that thing in the West Saint Pass, and Yu Fei did not see it in the South Saint Pass.
It was obviously impossible for the more than 20,000 orc captives and the 100,000 New Fourth Army to directly enter the Holy Imperial Capital, and they were temporarily placed in the area inside the Four Holy Passes and outside the Imperial Capital. It is said that the Holy Lion Empire will hold a prisoner sacrifice ceremony in the imperial capital next, and high-ranking officials from other human countries will come to watch the ceremony.
It turns out that this otherworldly country is also engaged in face engineering. When he received this notice, the first thought that popped into Yu Fei's mind was this. However, this had nothing to do with Yu Fei, so he rested peacefully in a manor arranged for him, waiting for the arrival of the so-called prisoner sacrifice day.
The Holy Lion Empire didn't let Yu Fei wait long. On the third day after he and the New Fourth Army returned to the Holy Imperial Capital, it was the day of the prisoner sacrifice.
Under the guidance of the receiving officials arranged by the Holy Lion Empire, Yu Fei and some of the remaining officers of the New Fourth Army symbolically took dozens of orcs to the south gate of the Holy Imperial Capital.
It's now a crowded place. More than half of the inhabitants of the Sacred Imperial Capital have come here to see what the orcs who have brought a great crisis to the human race are like, and they want to see what Yu Fei, who has been called the strongest mage in the human race, is like.
Before Yu Fei approached the south gate, he had already heard a wave of sounds. If you listen carefully, most of these voices are actually shouting for Earl Oberline or Oberline. Mage, this made Yu Fei a little stunned.
Although he knew that his current prestige among humans should be quite high, he did not expect that most of the people watching this captive sacrifice ceremony would call out his name. This kind of scene of fans welcoming him gave him a sense of immediacy when a star went on tour.
However, under the cover of the hood, no one could see Yu Fei's expression, so in the eyes of the residents of the Holy Imperial Capital who participated in the sacrifice ceremony, the black-robed Oberline who walked in the front. In the midst of everyone's cheers, the mage still walked forward unhurriedly, looking quite strong.
In front of the city gate, a large clearing was cleared. The inhabitants of the imperial capital who visited the ceremony were excluded from this clearing, and the Holy Emperor and the high-ranking officials of other human nations waited here.
Yu Fei was surprised when he saw the Holy Emperor from afar, he didn't expect this guy to come over to greet him personally, it seems that this guy attaches a lot of importance to himself.
Forgive Yu Fei for always calling the emperor of the largest empire of mankind this guy, when the Night Elves attacked the Divine Imperial Capital, it can be said that they trampled on the dignity of this Divine Emperor, Yu Fei really couldn't have even the slightest respect for this Divine Emperor.
Besides, to be exact, this Holy Emperor is still an enemy of the Night Elves, so there is no need to care about what he is called.
As Yu Fei advanced, the cheers of the people became higher and higher, and it was not until the Holy Emperor stepped forward a few steps forward to greet Yu Fei with a smile on his face that the onlookers stopped cheering and saw what His Majesty the Emperor was going to say.
The Holy Emperor didn't bother with the officers of the New Fourth Army and the orc captives they were carrying, but faced Yu Fei first. This was a gesture that showed that the Holy Emperor valued Yu Fei more than the orc captives, a powerhouse who could bring more orc captives.
"Count Oberline, you have made a great contribution to the Empire and are a hero to humanity. In recognition of your contributions, I have decided to confer on you the title of Duke - henceforth you will be the Duke of Oberline. ”
To Yu Fei's surprise, the Holy Emperor actually said these words directly and granted him the title of duke. This is the highest rank of nobility, and there is only the so-called Grand Duke, but this is generally the title of Grand Duke of those principalities and the head of the family of St. Child, which is essentially just a duke.
