The north exit of the Red River Gorge, the Titan Empire's Ramic Fortress. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The news of the heavy defeat suffered by the Flame Legion Air Cavalry and the Fortress Air Cavalry had already spread to every corner of the fortress, coupled with the failure of the frontal attack, the barbarian fortress was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere of defeat, the streets were deserted, and the patrolling soldiers all looked gloomy, as if they could not see the dawn in this long and cold night.

In the Rollo family mansion, Vivien walked into the study with a cup of hot black tea, while her father, Marquis of Ponne, sat on the desk, staring at the scattered official documents on the table, looking depressed and dazed.

Vivien's footsteps brought him to his senses, and he took a sip of the hot tea offered by his daughter, and the marquis's pale face finally regained a trace of blood.

"Vivian, why haven't you slept yet, go and rest early!" he smiled reluctantly, looking at his daughter's worried expression, he couldn't help but sigh: "There is no news from Adès yet, if there is, I will tell you immediately." ”

Before launching the raid on the Red River Fortress, Adès followed the Archwizard of Isaacsen into the Ares Mountains, only to disappear, and later the searchers only found the scene of a battle, and there were no other clues, presumably that they might have been attacked by a strong enemy of the Terrans.

The identity of the Archwizard of Isaacson is extraordinary, this matter is not a trivial matter, but compared to the consequences of the failed attack on the Red River Fortress, this matter is undoubtedly nothing, and the Marquis of Ponne knows his daughter's feelings for Adès, so he coaxes her.

The Marquis didn't know that Vivien held the soul card of Adès in her hand, and knew that Adès was still alive.

No one thought that it was Han Fei's disguised Ades who killed the Great Wizard of Isaacson, because there was a big difference in strength between the two sides, but Vivian had a faint feeling after the incident, but for some reason she hid it and just asked her father about the whereabouts of the other party.

"Father, I know that Adès will be fine, and I am not here to ask him for news..."Vivian sat down beside the Marquis and said softly, "You are the one who needs to rest the most, don't worry too much about the family's affairs, in fact, I think we live quite well here, there is no need to return to Yanjing." ”

For this attack, the Luo Luo family also paid a lot, mobilizing all the elites of the family in order to be able to return to Yanjing in one fell swoop, but they did not expect that in the end, it was a failure, and several elite children of the family who served as air knights were lost in the battle, although this loss is not big, but it is undoubtedly a huge blow to the ambitious marquis.

In fact, to say that the hardest hit is still the Prince Haggard who commands the Flame Legion, the empire's plan for decades has completely failed, and a large number of excellent air knights and wizards have been lost, including countless precious materials, although the main force is not damaged, and the giant teleportation array of the witchcraft tower of the fortress is still intact, but it may not be possible to achieve it in a few years to do it again.

This time the failure, the prince Haggd could not escape the blame, even if His Majesty the Emperor favored him, he would inevitably be punished, and now he has returned to Yanjing to plead guilty, which has also made it extremely embarrassing to just join the Rollo family, in the family, the Marquis of Ponne was inevitably blamed for his original decision.

Looking at the beautiful and well-behaved daughter, the somewhat disheartened marquis couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, he reached out and touched Vivian's long hair, and said lovingly: "You don't have to worry, your father will never be defeated! You're right, it's a big deal that we don't go back to Yanjing, so let's live here forever!"

A smile bloomed on Vivien's pretty face, and she leaned on her father's shoulder and asked softly, "Father, why do you say we must take the Red River Fortress? Why do we have to attack the Terrans?

"Every year, our barbarian clan has countless brave warriors and samurai sacrificed under the walls of the fortress, and the children of our family have paid a lot of sacrifices for this, what do you say all this is for?"

The marquis's hand suddenly stiffened, and he smiled bitterly: "Vivian, you must not mention these words in front of others, if you want to say why, it is because this is the will of the Titan God and our majesty, as gods and the people of the empire, we should obey it!"

"Okay, let's not talk about that, you can rest early!"

Vivien nodded silently and got up to leave the study.

She returned to the bedroom alone, sat down in front of the bed, took out a silver medal from under the pillow, put it in her hand and stroked it gently.

The watery moonlight shone on the girl's body through the glass window, draped her in a white coat, and the small silver medal exuded a faint brilliance in her hand.

Ades, are you okay now?

......... At the same time, hundreds of miles away, at the other end of the Red River Gorge, the military headquarters of the Red River Fortress was brightly lit in the spacious and luxurious hall, and thousands of officers, knights and nobles in the fortress gathered here to participate in a feast.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, Han Fei, who was walking up the steps, suddenly felt that his soul was in a trance, and a dreamlike pretty face appeared in front of him, it was Vivian's appearance, and his steps suddenly stagnated.

Han Fei couldn't help but shake his head, only to find out that the owner of that pretty face was the Ninth Princess Ye Bingmei, and the other party looked at him with a very strange look.

Han Fei couldn't help but blush, he was actually distracted at this extremely important award ceremony, fortunately he didn't make too much of a fool of himself, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee again, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Ye Bingmei smiled slightly, resting the end of the Golden Cross Knight Sword representing the imperial power in her hand on Han Fei's shoulder, and holding an open scroll in the other hand to announce the imperial reward.

"Han Fei, a warrior of the Silver Dagger Squad of the Red River Fortress Garrison Army Fire Phoenix Legion, infiltrated the barbarian fortress to obtain important information, thwarted the barbarian conspiracy, killed the barbarian great wizard, and made outstanding achievements, and was specially promoted to the rank of Emperor [***] major, and was given the title of Viscount of the Empire, and was rewarded with a handful of Xingchen Lingwu Yao, 100,000 gold coins!"

As soon as the princess's words fell, there was an uproar in the hall, before this reward banquet, everyone knew that Han Fei's contribution was not small, but no one thought that His Majesty the Emperor's reward would be so heavy.

Although it is said that the empire has always had the most important military merits, but there is also a certain degree of reward and punishment, Han Fei was originally just an ordinary sergeant, at most he had just stepped into the threshold of nobility, but he ascended to the sky in one step and rose to four levels in a row, which was a bit incredible.

Duke, Marquis, Uncle, Son, Male, Honor, plus a knight's quasi-noble title, the seven ranks of the Imperial nobility, each rank is very difficult to promote. Many of the nobles present had spent decades of hard work and hard work, at most they were just barons, and some of them had stopped on the lordship for many years without doing anything, but Han Fei was suddenly above them, how could it not make people envious or even jealous.

However, whether it is envy or jealousy, this is the reward of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, and it is an undoubted fact that Han Fei has since become a nobleman of the empire and is in the circle of middle and upper class nobles, thinking of his Han identity, people can't help but have countless associations.

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your favor!" Han Fei took the reward document and title certificate from Ye Bingmei's hand, and slowly stood up, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause.

In the midst of the applause, the princess personally put on a new rank badge for Han Fei and said with a smile: "Viscount Han Fei, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!" Han Fei replied meticulously, but he saw a hint of unconvincing glint in the other party's eyes, and he was obviously still a little worried about what happened during the day.

Han Fei could understand the other party's mood very well, after all, he almost made this noble princess unable to step down, but he didn't think that he had done anything wrong, if he was not decisive enough at that time, he was afraid that a tragedy would happen.

"I want to thank you," said the princess, gritting her teeth.

Han Fei smiled slightly, gave a knightly salute to the other party, and then took the reward that belonged to him from the maid next to him, and calmly turned around and stepped down from the stage.

He saw that in the crowd, Feng Qingyin, who was dressed in a knight's costume, winked at him and secretly gave him a thumbs up, which actually revealed a bit of cuteness.

Returning to his seat, Tie Han and several other acquaintances immediately gathered around to congratulate him.

The iron man slammed him and said, "Damn, your kid is now a major viscount, and our brothers will have to rely on you to cover us in the future!"

Han Fei smiled and said, "Brother Tiehan, don't make fun of me, no matter what our identities are, we are all brothers!"

"That's right, our brother doesn't talk about this..."Tie Han laughed, and Alot, who was on the side, said, "Brother Han Fei, let's see where your fiefdom is!"

Because the imperial title obtained by military merit is not a false title, the title above the knight has a corresponding fief, and the quality and size of the fief determine the status of a nobleman to a large extent.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Tie Han also said: "Let's see where your fiefdom is, if the location is good, I will move my own house there in the future!"

"That's really great..."Han Fei smiled and opened the title certificate scroll, he was also curious about what kind of territory he would get.

The scroll's shaft wood is made of the finest fragrant gold wood from the God of War Mountains, and the golden text is written on the tough spirit animal skin, which bears the emblem of the royal family and the seal of the spirit law, and exudes a charming brilliance under the illumination of the light.

The top half of the vellum is an account of Han Fei's exploits, while the second half is about his territory, and is accompanied by a rather detailed map, with his territory outlined in red lines.

Alot's eyes couldn't help but widen, but his pupils shrank suddenly: "Tulip Manor..."
