"His Royal Highness the Holy Crown Prince...... Your loyal vassal Hyde salutes you!"

Hyde's heart was beating violently with excitement, and he had come to the platform where he was watching. In front of him were the crown prince and the marshal, and behind him were the high-spirited old Loren and others, the eyes of the 100,000 army were watching him, and many whispering voices were flowing, and at this moment, he simply didn't know what to say.

"His Royal Highness Enrique, Elector of Midland, and His Highness Hyde von Middenholland, son of Princess Anna of Tyril, His Highness Hyde von Middenholland! On behalf of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, I will bestow upon you the status of Knight of the Imperial Guard, can you keep your promise of bravery, loyalty, and love? Can you always be loyal to the Imperial Court and the Motherland? Can you raise your sword for justice? Can you respect the noble and tolerate the weak? Will you give your blood and life for the banner and glory of the Empire? Answer me! Young Highness Hyde!"

Ashbi raised his sharp rune sword and slammed the glittering blade against Hyde's white shoulder armor. His voice carried an unmistakable majesty, and the glorious sigil of Sigmar shone on the crown prince's handsome face, and in this moment, he exuded an astonishing force, like the tide that swallowed everything. The knighthood of knighthood on the sons of the Electors and the new gods is the preserve of the Princes and Princesses of the Empire, and it is one of the most solemn occasions of the Empire, in which the test is indispensable, as the Empire will never allow the weak to fish in troubled waters to enter the ranks of the Knights of the Guard.

"My Holy Highness the Crown Prince, I am your loyal vassal, Hyde von Midhaulen! I will always keep my promise of bravery, loyalty, and benevolence! I will always be loyal to the royal court and the motherland, and I will always raise my sword for justice! I will respect the noble, I will be tolerant of the weak, and I will give my life and blood for the banner and glory of the Empire! I will make an oath to you and the wise Valkyrie Mirmidia, as unchangeable as my soul!"

Hyde solemnly knelt down on one knee and answered Ashbi's question word by word. His voice grew loud with excitement, with a decisive will. At this moment, countless mixed thoughts surged in his heart, joy and sentimentality, excitement and pride converged into an indescribable giant river. The cold wind stirred in the twilight and ruffled his long golden hair, like the mane of a lion.

"Yes, Your Highness Hyde von Midenhölland, I believe in your loyalty and oath, and I bestow upon you the glory of the Knight of the Imperial Guard!"

The handsome red-haired crown prince smiled, and his sword fell heavily again, striking Hyde's shoulder armor with the white wolf crest. The golden Holy Cross of Sigmar rose magnificently from the blade of the sword covered with divine runes, almost enveloping Hyde's entire body, like a bright torch suddenly burning on the high platform. For a moment, an almost unbearable scorching heat enveloped Hyde's body, but it was fleeting, replaced by an indescribable sense of strength and accomplishment.

"Salute to the Holy God Emperor Sigma, to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and to His Royal Highness the Holy Crown Prince!"

Thunderous cheers echoed through the forest-like array, a cheer for the crown prince and a cheer for Hyde, for Hyde's story could be counted as a lesser miracle. Isn't it good news that a person who has lost his mind has been favored by the ancient gods in the glorious Great Holy War, and not only has regained his wisdom, but has also slain the powerful Chaos Chosen One? Since the light of God has fallen even on those who have lost their minds, it is natural that it may also befall on the warriors, and everyone hopes that luck will shine on them.

When Hyde's sword-awarding ceremony was over, the crown prince performed the same ceremony for Tenan and Frey. Frey cried excitedly, but Tenan was very calm, even when the crown prince's rune sword struck on the shoulder armor. As the new gods, they were all given the title and weapons of the Knights of the Guard of Honor of the Imperial Court, because the Divine Court would not ignore any of the gods of the Old Gods.

In fact, although the Divine Sigmar Empire has a population of tens of millions, there are only a few dozen people who can become gods every year, and more than half of them are non-combat gods, most of whom are the goddess of mercy, Sharya. There is a limit to the generosity of Sigmar and the Old Gods, and the Battle-type Divine Favorites are as precious as gems, and their number is still no more than a thousand, which cannot be compared to the thousands of Chaos Chosen Ones in the Northern Wastelands. In this chaotic storm of Slaanesh, Lustali alone brought eight hundred Chosen Warriors from the Northern Wasteland, which is close to the number of Battle-type Gods of the Imperial Court and the Ten Electoral Duchies combined.

But the world is balanced, and the graces of Sigma and the Old Gods are different from the chaotic gifts of the Four Evil Gods of Chaos, the Chosen One of Chaos can easily go mad or die in the frenzy, while the Divine Favor of the Old Gods has a long life and amazing resilience. Most of the Gods of the Old Gods can survive decades of long battles and become great warriors and mages if they don't die in battle, while many of the Chosen of Chaos have turned into ugly and stupid Chaos Eggs after a few battles, living like wild beasts. This is the justice of the world, and in a sense, it can be called the blessing of the ancient gods to this world and mankind.

The Crown Prince did not forget Loren Sr. and Marshall, and he awarded the Golden Medal of the Philosopher's Stone to the two knights who had established great achievements, the Old Loren was awarded the Order of the Holy Cross of the Second Class Sigmar for his merits in cultivating the Divine Favor and the glory of cooperating in the killing of the Slaanesh Chosen One, and the Order of the Holy Cross of the Third Class was awarded to Marshall for his outstanding command skills in the Battle of the Prairies. In addition to this, he also rewarded Loren Sr. with a fur cloak with defensive magic and recovery runes, and Marshall with a rune-piercing sword made by a dwarf as a gift from the royal court.

Ashurbi's reward to Princess Catherine was more grand, in addition to the Knight of the Holy Cross of the Third Class Sigma, it also included a number of gorgeous palace clothes, a beautiful magic pendant, a metal alchemist's staff, and some other miscellaneous items. There was a big box piled up to the brim. At the end of the ceremony, he actually smiled and kissed the red-haired girl's jade hand, and his soft voice rushed into the heart of the unruly princess like lightning.

"My beautiful Highness, forget about the little troubles in Kharkov! ”

The crown prince's voice marked the dismissal of Catherine's punishment, which was a reward for her exploits in commanding artillery in the fierce battle of the steppe, but the crown prince's voice also contained a faint reminder that the authority of the imperial military code could not be broken, and the wise Catherine understood the meaning of these words, and her face immediately turned red.

The last to be commended were Sergeant Andrew and Dwarven Blacksmith Baska, and the crown prince awarded Andrew the Honorary Knight of the Empire with the insignia of Knights of Honor, and then rewarded each of them with forty gold florins and a gift of their choice. As the smiling royal ladies handed them the shiny parchment gift slip, Andrew happily clicked on a set of Rick's Halberd armor, and Bhaskar chose a generic piece of jewelry among them, which made the royal ladies laugh and even the crown prince asked his question.

"Why would a dwarf choose a silver gilded turquoise collar made by a dwarf? I don't think it's a valuable item or magical. ”

The red-haired crown prince suddenly bent down and looked at the dwarf in front of him who was holding a parchment gift list, his face full of amusement.

"Well...... This is for my human king...... No, no, no, no! is a gift for my human girlfriend. ”

Baska, who was wearing a severed helmet, suddenly panicked, and the crown prince's gaze made him a little incoherent. Although he usually likes to brag and go crazy, Bhaska is not a fool, and the person in front of him is the noble crown prince of the empire, the most powerful person except for the emperor and the prime minister of the empire, and he understands that he is not allowed to talk nonsense at this time.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Brave Dwarf, I know you weren't nervous when you were besieged by the Chaos army, am I even more terrible than the Chaos army?" ”

Asbee laughed happily, and patted the dwarf on the shoulder, the red-haired noble crown prince was an approachable man, he put away the huge force, and his voice became very gentle.

"I can make armor and weapons, and I can carve a little rune, but I'm not good at making jewelry. She had something like that a few years ago, left to her by her grandmother. But then it melted in an emergency to make me a bullet to deal with vampires, so I always wanted to get her another ...... of the same kind."

Baska's voice suddenly became low, and his round face turned red, and he involuntarily rubbed his thick hands. In a sense, this can be regarded as a sign of rudeness, but the noble crown prince who shines like the sun does not care.

"I like people who value their lovers, and I like people who will love their girls. Brave Mr. Blacksmith, I will reward you with another piece of jewelry belonging to the royal court and twenty gold florins, which is my reward for your bravery and love, and I believe that after the triumph of the holy war, you will be able to make a beautiful marriage before the ancient gods and the gods of the mountains, and bring a few healthy and brave children. ”

The crown prince of the golden armor replied to the dwarf's heart with a smile, and his voice drew thunderous applause from the military array. The tension was gone, and the Crown Prince's ease and thoughtfulness touched everyone, and this was exactly what Ashbee wanted to see, and he knew the heart of a soldier since he was fourteen years old.
