On the third day after the battle of Gansha City, a grand celebration feast was being held in the hall of the Senate.

The First Senate sat at the top, while the Consuls Barnes and Manle sat on either side. One hundred senators congratulated each other on this brilliant victory.

"Please come in with the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment!" Under the loud announcement of one of the guards, the leader of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, Andrew, Squadron Leader Alain, Eddie, Bisluvi and Julian, Squad Leader Fid and some other mercenary guards walked into the Senate meeting hall under the applause of the senators.

Prior to this, the Senate Hall had already rewarded the heads of the other forty-seven mercenary regiments who participated in the Great Patriotic War, and their combined mercenary army was an indispensable factor in the success of this battle.

"Wow, it's my first time in the Senate. Xue Rui, who was standing next to Feide, did not change into banquet clothes, but was still wearing a military uniform, playing the role of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment's guard. Coth and Greif were invited by Andre to the party, and the two of them stood behind Fed.

Feder looked at the nearly twenty-meter-high hall, where everything was made of white stone, and on the left and right were trapezoidal council seats, "I've been here, but I didn't expect that the originally solemn conference hall could be used for banquets. Fed saw several long tables that could seat more than thirty people in front of him, and the senators, who were still sitting in council seats, would sit with them at the long tables, pushing cups and changing lamps, and tasting the food.

Coze whispered to Greif, "Brother, have you ever been to the Senate of the Republic?"

"Brother" Greif replied softly, "No, but I have seen some elders of the Marvier Republic come to my hometown to fish in the small fish village, and I even made a saury for them to eat, and they all said that my cooking was delicious..."

"No one asks you if the fish is delicious, I wonder if I'm the only one who hasn't seen this kind of scene. "Actually, Kesi has attended many banquets, but this time she is attending as a mercenary rather than as a nobleman, which makes her feel very fresh.

The group of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment walked up to the First Elder Tyre and the two Archons, and collectively knelt down on one knee.

"The head of the regiment, Andrei, successfully completed the task assigned by the Senate, defended the Republic of Marvier, and defended the city of Gansha!" "The blonde Andrei looked polite and generous in a high-class banquet costume. And the other squadron leaders behind him also put on banquet dresses appropriately, putting away the informal dress on the battlefield, and Fei De also took off the "black flash" in a rare way and changed into a light blue banquet dress given to him by Andre.

Tyre stood up, his eyes were bright, and his face was radiant, "Please stand up, son of the Republic!" The members of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment stood up after hearing this, "From the day you reported to me that the enemy country was going to invade our land, I could see that Andrei was a young man with a promising future, and you did it today!" Tyre took the lead in applauding and saluting Andrei and the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, and the other two consuls also stood up and applauded in approval.

At this moment, from the back of the Senate chamber came a few guards with boxes in their hands.

"These are gifts for you, please be polite, take them!" Archon Man Le was tall and thin, but when he spoke, his voice was like a bronze bell, and his breath was like a rainbow, and his voice could even be heard echoing throughout the halls of the Senate.

André once again knelt down on one knee to express his gratitude, and he asked the mercenaries behind him to take the treasure chest, but no one dared to open the chest on the spot to see what was inside.

"And the medal!" Manle asked the guard beside him to hand him a cross-shaped medal, and he personally stepped down from the council stage and walked in front of Andre, "This Republican Cross, which represents the highest honor of the Marvil Republic, is awarded to you, and from today onwards you are the head of the mercenary regiment who has made the greatest contribution to the Republic." Andre held his head high and let Manle hang the medal on the chest of his clothes.

"In addition, I will also give this silver bracelet to all the warriors who have made great achievements!" Manle asked the guards to present four silver bracelets, which were engraved with the emblem of the Republic of Marvil. He took the bracelet and put it on Alain, Eddie, Julian, and Bithluvis, and when he saw Fidel, he immediately asked the guard to take out an extra silver bracelet, "I heard that this captain personally took down the head of James, the leader of the MONOCULUS mercenary group, and he also offered the fire attack strategy?"

"That's right, his name is Fed, and he's the captain of my squad. Andre smiled smugly at the corner of his mouth and looked at Fide ambiguously. And Kesi was looking at Fide as if she were looking at a painting in her own house that had been recognized.

Manle's facial features are sharp, and his nose is high and long, like a caterpillar attached to his face. He put a fifth silver bracelet on Fidel's wrist, but at the same time, he secretly stuffed a note for Fidd, and no one should be able to notice the small action.

Archon Manle looked at Fidel steadily, then nodded and said, "We, the Marvil Republic, need young people like you with courage and strategy. ”

And Fidel's expression did not change because of the note that the other party stuffed in private, he nodded and replied, "The archon has won the prize." ”

After the ceremony, Manle walked back to his place with steady steps, waiting for the speech of the First Elder Tyre.

"In addition to the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment standing at the forefront, our total of forty-seven mercenary regiments in the Republic and the Archon of Barnes have played an important role," Tyre looked sideways at Barnes, and Barnes also bowed sideways to the old man and nodded, "So each mercenary group has been rewarded, and as for our most loyal and wise Mr. Barnes, he will be given the right to manage Dry Sand City, and Barnes' son will become the new mayor of Dry Sand City." After saying this, Tyre looked at Barnes again, and there was something strange in his eyes.

Hearing this, all the elders present applauded and congratulated, but only Barnes himself smiled and reluctantly expressed his gratitude. A small frontier city, a city of dry sand that had just been burned down, had trapped his beloved son, a trick Barnes didn't expect Tyre to use. The appointment was approved by the vast majority of the senators, so he now had to reluctantly express his gratitude.

"Alright, that's all for the meritorious deeds," Tyre silenced all the senators before he continued: "As for our country's foreign policy towards the Kingdom of Cosse, as well as the question of how to deal with the other king's younger brother Jack, these many things are arranged to be discussed in the 'Semi-annual Meeting' in three days' from now, and there is no need to mention these things at today's celebration banquet, our banquet is now officially started!"

As soon as the first patriarch Tyre finished speaking, the council hall of the Senate, which had been quiet, instantly became full of people, and cheers and conversations resounded throughout the council hall. A large group of singers and players with various instruments came in from outside the hall and began to perform different music, a line of cooks came out of the kitchen behind the council hall, each of them carrying a large pot of food, towards the long table of the feast, and some guards dispersed out of the hall, no longer keeping an eye on the group of people preparing to eat.

The captains of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, other mercenary group leaders, and most of the elders began to sit at the table, and Andre also specially reserved a few seats for Cash, Shelly, and Greif to sit down and taste the food of the Marvil Republic together.

Kesi wore a lace-trimmed pale green dress today, which attracted the attention of many people with her long curly hair and green eyes. She was dazzled by the variety of delicacies she had never seen before. Braised halberd fish, dry-cured sand snake meat, roasted venison with pepper nuts, strawberry sweet pie, big black bird stew, special handmade noodles, charcoal-roasted whole lamb, freshly squeezed lemon leaf juice, egg white stuffed rice wine, and other delicacies that looked very delicious were placed in front of her, and she licked her tongue too. Although Kesi was the daughter of the Duke, she had never seen the special food of the people and other countries, so she couldn't wait to take all kinds of food and try each one first. Some of the mercenary captains and senators took the opportunity to come over with wine glasses to get to know Kesi, and a few people really felt that Kesi's face was very familiar, but they only used it as a topic of conversation, and they didn't really remember where they had seen Duke Dlaman's only daughter.

And Xue Rui, who was sitting next to her, was munching on pieces of meat as if no one was around, and if she didn't look at her breasts, she would really think that she was a wild male mercenary, the kind that drank blood.

Greif loves seafood, and the turtle stewed live squid is his favorite; Andre and the other mercenary leaders clink glasses and drink from each other, and drink the freshly filled wine glasses cleanly, and the wine made from the finest wheat is even more than a glass after glass; Fed himself sits on the sidelines, eating something casually while hiding the note that Manle has just given himself, which looks like a puppeteer pretending to eat from a distance; Alain and Eddie keep their heads down and talk about something, and Bisluvis, like Cherry, grabs the newly picked up food and eats it wildly; and only Julian is the only squadron leader in the Moon Shield mercenary group who is sullen, a few elders came over to toast with him, but he also refused.

After three rounds of drinking, some of the elders danced to the band, while the two archons were surrounded by other elders and the head of the mercenary group, chatting and drinking, except for the first senator, Tyre, who hurriedly withdrew because he was too old and returned to his residence to rest.

The drunken music and wine made everyone in the Moon Shield Mercenary Group feel relaxed all over, the dryness and heat in Dry Sand City had been forgotten, the cruel battlefield had disappeared, and the contradictions in the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment had been temporarily released, and no one was fighting at this moment.

"Hey potatoes, I just saw you stuffed a note in your hand. With a clear wine glass in her hand, and a hint of blush appeared on her cheeks, she suddenly leaned her head against Feld and whispered.
