The letter arrived in Baltahan today. After the Legion Commanders read it first, they convened a meeting of officers, who then passed the news down to each Barracks.
The great King was deeply pleased by the legion's outstanding performance on the battlefield and had decided to hold a grand Celebration Banquet for them.
At the same time, the King specifically mentioned several nobles who had displayed extraordinary courage and leadership during the battle, making tremendous contributions to the nation.
They were knight Henry Burley, Baron Gonzalo Johnson, and knight Cheval Saifi.
The news swiftly spread throughout the entire camp. The Soldiers cheered jubilantly, proud that their efforts had been recognized.
The Soldiers selected to travel to the royal capital for inspection were even more excited.
Not only had they survived the battle and received hefty bonuses, but they would also have the honor of traveling to the royal capital and seeing the King from afar.
What an honor was that? Glory they could boast about until the day they died!
Just imagine returning home, buying a few acres of land, renting another field, marrying, having children, and telling the little brats about their military service every day.
Ah, perfect!
The three nobles, Henry included, also felt immensely honored. This was the King's high praise for them. Though the other two had long been mentally prepared, they were still somewhat excited.
Henry, on the other hand, was not quite so stirred up. He had lived in the royal capital for three years and had been personally granted his title as a first-generation noble by the King. He had no unknown expectations regarding the King.
"Knight Henry, Legion Commander Suosilan wishes to see you." The one-armed Banner Knight came for Henry again and led him to see the Legion Commander.
"No problem."
