However, the rewards bestowed upon Victor's Vela Army are a bit more complicated.

After all, Victor's Vela Legion had made many contributions in this battle. If they were rewarded according to their merits, the land the kingdom had acquired from the Central City-State Alliance would not be enough.

Fortunately, Victor had previously told Duke Barick that Vela's side did not need to be included in this award ceremony.

According to Victor's explanation, the rewards that the Vela Nobles had previously received from the East Sea Alliance had already satisfied Vela Nobles.

The Vela Nobles who sent troops this time were mainly the great nobles of the Vela Region. They were all quite righteous and willing to give up their post-war rewards, only needing the kingdom to provide military expenses.

Duke Barick now has a particularly good impression of the Vela Nobles, believing them to be the true loyalists of the kingdom, far superior to the native Noble Faction.

Furthermore, Victor took the initiative to extend goodwill on behalf of the Vela Nobles and sent Vela Nobles to serve as his bodyguards.

Duke Barick decided to quietly make a note of this achievement by the Vela Nobles, waiting for the opportunity to reward them in the future.

The kingdom is currently facing many issues, especially since he has a lot of work to do after ascending the throne, including numerous miscellaneous matters. He may not be able to launch an attack on the Central City-State Alliance in the short term.

Duke Barick already had a plan in mind; he intended to draw more troops from Vela to participate in the next attack on the Central City-State Alliance.

The Vela Nobles have performed admirably in these battles, and the strength of the Vela Army has been fully demonstrated, with some legions even stronger than the Kingdom Regular Army.

With the help of the Vela Nobles, even without the power of the local Noble Faction, the kingdom has a chance to completely defeat the Central City-State Alliance.

On the other hand, after receiving Victor's feedback, Alex was surprised that Duke Barick was so understanding and directly opened up 1,000 places for the children of the Vela Nobles.

Now there was no need to consider further selection. Alex made arrangements for all 1,000 noble sons, organized them into an army, and arranged for them to travel by ship from the western port of Vela to the kingdom's mainland.

They will be taken directly by the Kingdom Navy to the port closest to Golden Tree City, and Victor will send people there to meet the young men and take them to Golden Tree City.

Because this incident demonstrated the loyalty of the Vela Nobles, the kingdom attached great importance to it.

In his telegram, Victor also stated that not only would he send people, but Duke Barick would also send his close advisors to welcome the young people and the gifts from the Vela Nobles.

Soon, this group of young Vela Nobles set off towards their destination.

These young people are full of vigor and high spirits, and are full of expectations for the future.

A few days later, in Golden Tree City, Cavalry of over a thousand men arrived at the city gate from the east main road.

This Cavalry, with both men and horses clad in heavy armor from head to toe, and each horse standing over 2.1 meters tall at the shoulder, clearly indicated that they were an elite force.

When they arrived at the city gate, the guards there were stunned. They didn't know where such a fierce army had come from, and they had never heard of any great nobleman coming to the capital!

Just as the city gate guards hesitated about whether to send someone to stop the Cavalry, a dozen or so riders ran out from the Cavalry. Judging from their attire, they were all members of the Kingdom's Imperial Guard.

When the Imperial Guard Cavalry arrived at the city gate, the leading officer shouted to the guards, "This is a congratulatory gift and Guard Corps from the Vela Nobles. Please do not obstruct them."

His Crown Prince and the Kingdom's Garrison Commander have both granted us special passes.

After speaking, the officer tossed a scroll to the officer guarding the city gate. The officer quickly caught it with both hands, opened the scroll, and before he could even read the contents, he saw two large seals on it: one from Duke Barick and the other from Marquis Drak, Garrison Army of the Royal Capital's garrison.

After confirming that everything was correct, he immediately ordered the city gates to be opened.

Soon, the roadblocks at the city gate were pushed aside by the garrison soldiers, and the Cavalry, guided by the garrison, filed into the city.

The defending soldiers then realized that these stern-faced Cavalry were not as terrifying as they had appeared.

After entering the city, the Cavalry no longer maintained their previous serious and aloof demeanor. They began to turn their heads and look around, clearly attracted by the bustling scene inside Golden Tree City.

Although it was strange, the city gate guards didn't pay any attention to it. They had been guarding the city gate for many years and had long since developed the habit of not investigating secrets.

At this moment, Golden Tree City is Marlon activity. With less than half a month to go before His Crown Prince's Coronation Ceremony, the flow of people and commercial activities in Golden Tree City are significantly more abundant than ever before.

The streets were packed with people and caravans; there were so many people that the roads were blocked by carriages and people.

There were a large number of uniformed city guards directing traffic, but their numbers were far too few compared to the pedestrians and carriages, making it very difficult to manage.

At this moment, the elite Cavalry that suddenly entered the city also attracted their attention. Normally, Cavalry like these, fully armed, are not allowed to move around in the city, so the city guards were also very curious about where these guys came from.

However, despite their imposing presence, the Cavalry acted discreetly, obediently following the guidance of the city guards and queuing through the congested section of road.

The Cavalry finally made contact with the Imperial Guard troops who were there to meet them.

The Cavalry was quickly led into the Imperial Guard Main Camp Golden Tree City and did not remain in the city for very long.

After entering the Imperial Guard Main Camp, the Cavalry was assigned to a separate camp.

However, the barracks appeared very old and dilapidated. Many of the buildings were rotten and broken, and many of the facilities in the camp had been damaged. The walls were also full of holes, and the camp was overgrown with weeds. It seemed to be a barracks that had been abandoned long ago.

Judging from the actions of the Imperial Guard, it was likely intended to give the newly arrived Cavalry a warning.

However, the members of this Cavalry did not show any dissatisfaction. Everyone obediently began to organize their luggage and store the supplies they carried in categories.

Later, they divided the group into several teams. Some people went to manage the horses, some people began to set up camp on the spot, and another group did not participate in these activities. Instead, they set up tents in the middle of the camp and began to guard the things they had brought.

This Cavalry consisted of noble sons from the Vela, and they were guarding the gifts that the Vela Nobles had given to the new king. These gifts were extremely important and absolutely could not be lost, so they always assigned people to protect them.

And so, amidst the team's intensive preparations, the once somewhat dilapidated and old camp was quickly brought back to life.

In just one afternoon, the campsite was almost completely cleared away. The debris that had been piled up everywhere was cleaned up, and all the weeds were cut down to feed the horses.

This Cavalry unit was not only composed of noble sons, but they also brought along some artisans.

With the help of these craftsmen and the efforts of these noblemen, the originally dilapidated barracks were completely transformed, and the walls were repaired, making it look almost like a normal military camp.

The only difference was that there were too few houses inside the camp, and most soldiers could only set up marching tents as temporary shelters.
