The potted plants on the windowsill have become extremely delicate after the baptism of rain and dew, red, green, blue, purple, white - all kinds of colors bloom one after another, stretching along the rows of buildings, winding the entire manor, rendering the station of the mercenary group as beautiful as a sea of flowers.

"Hey, Duan Lie, it's time to get up, the sun is shining on your ass......"

Outside the open window, the sun's smile poured daylight into the room, shining on Duan Lie's sleepy eyes, he lifted the quilt and got up, not knowing what was happening.

There was a knock on the bedroom door, and a young woman in fine clothes walked into the room, skillfully placed a new set of clothes prepared in her hand on the table in the corner, and said in a gentle and kind voice: "Lie'er, get up quickly, Bray and Eric are already here." ”

"Mom, can I sleep a little longer. ”

Duan Lie rubbed his eyes speechlessly, without looking, he could also know that at this time, he could walk in and wake himself up without knocking on the door, except for Rouya, no one else really dared.

Rou Ya looked at Duan Lie with a smile, his smile was as gentle as the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning in spring.

"Today is the celebration banquet that the king himself has held for you, you are the protagonist of the banquet, you can't be late, get up and change your clothes. ”

After Lin Xiao left, Duan Lie was finally able to rest for two days, and he was later informed that in order to thank himself and the Hope Mercenary Group for their outstanding contributions to the civil strife, Alderrich VI was going to hold a grand celebration banquet in the palace.

In fact, this banquet should have been held a week earlier, but at that time, Duan Lie, who was the protagonist of the banquet, was accompanying Lin Xiao in the battle tower, so it has been shelved until now.

Duan Lie struggled to get up, at this time, his expression in Rouya really looked like a child who didn't grow up, and recently, Duan Lie was indeed tired enough.

Since he arrived in the Los Empire a year ago, he has no time to rest, every day in addition to thinking about how to establish the Los Branch, he is leading the members of the branch to dig the Flame Forge plane, and finally got on the track, and got the trick of the law of conservation of energy, and then rushed back to the rescue when he got the change in the Heavenly Wind Empire, so to speak, for a whole year, Duan Lie came with a foot in the back of the head, and there was no time to rest.

And after the rebellion in the empire this time, Duan Lie finally seized the opportunity, and he slept in the residence of the Hope Mercenary Group for two days......

Lazily climbed out of bed, Duan Lie walked to the window and climbed on the windowsill, sticking out his head to look out, wasn't Bray and Eric waiting downstairs?

Duan Lie beckoned and teased, "Chief Guard Bray, you're still alive." ”

Bray was full of resolute face, and said angrily: "Damn, how can you say that I am also your eldest brother, and you are so looking forward to my death?"

"Hey, hey. Duan Lie smiled and said, "No, I just think it's a miracle that you're alive, you wait, I'll go down after changing my clothes, you have to tell me how you escaped from the ambush in the Youlan battlefield." ”

Bray is indeed a miracle, his presence is almost non-existent in the whole turmoil of civil strife, but when he first returned from the Westhammer Fortress, the Youlan battlefield set up many barricades and ambushes outside several cities, waiting for the rescue team to throw themselves into the net.

Cold Wind City, Musi City, and Yan Snow City all suffered varying degrees of losses, and several important generals also died in that civil strife, only Bray returned to Yan Snow City silently, helping his father resist the invasion of the Youlan Battlefield and the Marton family.

It can be said that Bray is definitely a miracle in this civil strife, and no one knows how this guy broke through many obstacles and returned to Yanxue City.

After finishing speaking, Duan Lie hurriedly finished washing, and then changed into a duke's costume under Rouya's considerate care.

This is a set of costumes specially made by the tailor of Eldrich VI for Duan Lie, there is only such a set in the whole world, representing the supreme authority and merit of the empire, even Inez does not have it, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to Duan Lie to the point that no one can compare.

Duan Lie, who had changed into a dress, turned into a handsome, handsome and noble nobleman, and Rou Ya said happily: "Lie'er looks so good in this dress, our Lie'er is the most handsome young master in the country." ”

Duan Lie's face turned slightly red, and he did not hesitate to say, "Mom, you are the bravest, strongest, most beautiful, and wisest mother in the whole world. ”

"Flim Flam. Rouya chuckled, patted Duan Lie on the back and said, "Go down quickly, the king is waiting for you." ”

"Mom, let's go together. ”

"Well, I'll go down right away. ”

Downstairs and out of the small courtyard, Duan Lie saw Bray and Eric waiting there in neat aristocratic clothes, the reunion of former classmates and friends, naturally extremely happy and happy, nothing to say, the three of them stared for a moment and hugged each other warmly. In a few years, these three were once just the existence of the academy, and now they have grown into the mainstay of the empire.

In this civil strife, Bray made a meritorious contribution to the battlefield against Youlan and was named the chief of the guard, this is a figure who can directly command an army of more than 10,000 people, directly under Alec, and his power is not small.

Eric became the mentor of the Academy, and under the leadership of Kane himself, he became the successor of the Elders, and he and Suri finally fulfilled their dream of enjoying a certain position in the Empire.

Needless to say, Duan Lie was already a hereditary Grand Duke, and unless Edrich VI gave him the throne, any reward would be colorless.

The three of them hugged for a while before they separated and came to the outside of the station, and Duan Lie saw that outside the station of the Hope Mercenary Group, a long line of honor guards was waiting for him.

This team is obviously extraordinarily large, starting with the ornate pedestal at the beginning guarded by the warriors of the Empire's Iron Cross Legion, the second phalanx is as many as hundreds of mercenary elites, and then the Imperial Imperial Guard, a full thousand people......

Thus the street was filled with a procession of about two men, and the oversized and ornate pedestal, drawn by ten tall horses dressed in gold and silver, came to rest at the door. This carriage, let alone loading people, is more than enough to fit a team.

"So many people? What a big carriage. Duan Lie swallowed his saliva with envy and sighed.

Bray patted Duan Lie on the shoulder: "Yes, my lord, this is sent by His Majesty the King to greet you personally, you are so honored, I am very jealous, get in the car, wait a while Aunt Rouya comes, we will go directly to the palace." ”

"With such a big carriage, my mother and I are in a ride?" Duan Lie was taken aback.

Eric said crookedly: "Idiot, don't stink, who else do you think is qualified to ride in this carriage now? This is His Majesty's seat frame." ”

It has to be said that Edridge's method of entrapping people is indeed second to none, at least his son Edrich VII will not do this.

There was no way, Duan Lie could only agree, and after waiting for Rouya to come out for a while, the mother and son drove from the central street to the king's palace under the protection of the three armies.

Along the way, Duan Lie was completely surrounded by a sea of flowers, and the people of the empire on both sides of the street sang praises to Duan Lie with flowers and covered the central street leading to the palace. Relying on the military appearance and keeping the same pace, the three armies slowly drove to the room, which won people's attention. As far as some of the old people in the empire are concerned, it seems that in the nearly 100 years they have lived, no one in the Heavenly Wind Empire, even a figure like Inez, has ever had the honor of enjoying such high-level treatment.

This is simply the greatest glory of the Empire.

Walking on the central street of the empire, from the curtains opened by the two emperors, Rouya blushed and felt the enthusiasm of the people, and at the same time burst into tears.

In contrast, even when he won the battle at the West Hammer Frontier, he had not enjoyed such enthusiasm, and this time she knew that it was the glory of her son.

Without Duan Lie, how could he enjoy the same treatment as His Majesty the King, his eyes turned to Duan Lie's body, and Rouya's heart was as sweet as overturning a honey jar.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and when it was outside the palace gate, Duan Lie saw a team composed of all kinds of nobles.

They stood on both sides of the palace gate like ordinary civilians, dressed in gorgeous costumes, with a respectful attitude, humbly waiting for the arrival of the carriage, and when Duan Lie stretched out his head to look at the past: Inez, Alec, Dillo, Kane, Craig, Joseph, Saron, Nozomi, Daniel, Alaric - all familiar faces were now watching him like sunflowers facing the sun......

Behind these intimidating faces in the empire, Nadine, Luye, Geming, Jacob, and other people that Duan Lie knew and contributed to this civil strife also appeared, and they warmly extended their hands of friendship to Duan Lie and greeted them desperately......

At this moment, the sea of flowers encompasses the joy of everyone in the city of Arran, and the white carrier pigeons, flying streamers, and the roaring salute - it is like a unique and magnificent celebration.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the gates of the palace opened in a cannon salute, and two teams of golden-armored guards on golden horses came out of it, and the real king of Alran, Aldridge, the little prince Atlan, in the company of Edrich VI, both walked out in the king's dress.

The carriage stopped, Duan Lie took Rouya's men and got out of the car, there was excitement and gratitude under the calm appearance of Atlanta, and said loudly: "Let's welcome the hero of the empire, His Excellency Grand Duke Duan Lie......"

The applause instantly drowned out the city of Aram......
