Chapter 702: Medal of Honor

“This is for me?”

Aitke stared at the medal that Kaos handed over.

The medal was made of a special black metal. The pattern was that of a long sword piercing into the burning flames. Under the illumination of the light, the flames on the sword seemed to be burning and emitting light.

Iron Caster.

This was probably the highest honor that the Knights of the iron country could get, and it was also the dream of all the Knights of the iron country.

When Edko was young, he had heard his younger brother boast that he would definitely become a member of the iron-maker in the future.

But now, this was no longer an illusion for Edko’s younger brother. He was working hard to become a member of the iron-maker.

For this, not only his younger brother, but even his father, Count Cruz, had poured all his efforts into this second son.

“Empress Yekana personally instructed me to give this medal to you.”

Prince Kaos half-knelt and flipped the medal in Edko’s hand over. Two lines of tiny words were carved on the pitch-black blade.

‘Edko Slim.’

This was the content of the first line of words.

When Edko saw the second line of words, he suddenly laughed. The laughter was accompanied by a cough. He knew how serious his injuries were, but this did not prevent him from using the laughter to vent his inner emotions.

On the second line of words, it was written ‘The Sword of Olsenburg’!

This was his name on the battlefield of the Holy Spirit!

AITEC used his blood-stained hands to support his body as he tried to stand up. The two knights who had grabbed AITEC earlier glanced at Count Cruz.

The count did not say anything. The two knights immediately walked forward and helped him up.

When AITEC stood up, he staggered, but he still managed to stand up.

He straightened his back and stared at the cold-faced Earl Cruz.

Alterk stared at the earl for a while, then turned around and tried to return to his usual seat in the magic net hall with staggering steps.

At this moment, no one dared to stop him, whether it was the Earl Cruz or his knights. No one dared to stand in front of him.

He did not even take a few steps before he directly knelt on the ground. The moment his body fell, a knight rushed forward and instantly hugged him.

“Send him back to the manor for treatment…”Count Cruz immediately gave an order.

“No need, Count Cruz. Her Highness the Empress Can’t wait for too long.”

Kaos walked to the side of the unconscious Edko and checked the injuries on his body.

“His injuries aren’t serious. I’ll get someone to give him a simple treatment.”

Attek’s body was covered in bruises, and his left eyeball was starting to fill with blood.

However, this kind of injury was only a minor one to Kaos. He had already adapted to this degree of injury when he was trying to survive in the furnace.

“There are two healers waiting outside the door. Please at least perform the lowest level of bandaging here,”Count Cruz requested.

“Don’t take too long. I don’t have much time,”Prince Kaos said.

The two healers immediately walked in from outside the door. The knight directly laid the unconscious Aitke on the ground, and they immediately began a simple treatment.

“Your Highness Kaos, I don’t know how many knights are better than this incompetent eldest son of mine in Orson Castle. Why… Does Her Highness the empress only have her eyes on him?”Count Cruz suddenly asked.

Earl Cruz had given this eldest son high hopes a year ago. However, when this magic net appeared in Orson Castle, his mind was completely focused on the magic net game and avoiding the knights who were chasing him.

During this period of time, Earl Cruz had the courage to raise a thief himself instead of a Knight and a gladiator who was aboveboard.

“The Empress needs your eldest son to fight for this country,”Kaos said directly.

“Fight for the country of steel? The war is about to begin again… who is the enemy this time?”

Count Cruz was slightly shocked. The people of the country of steel were not afraid of war, but Count Cruz did not even hear about the news of war.

“The battlefield this time is not in the real world, but in the game of Holy Spirit. Your eldest son is one of the top summoners on the battlefield of Holy Spirit, so the Empress asked me to recruit him.”

“The battlefield of the Holy Spirit.”

At this moment, the questions of Count Cruz became more and more numerous. In his impression, the Queen did not seem to be interested in the game.

Before he could ask for more details, the guests in the hall of the magic net suddenly entered a state of… Mania.

The atmosphere in the hall changed in just a few seconds!

The visitors in the hall of the magic net included all the classes in Orson Castle, but even if there were nobles in the hall, they didn’t dare to speak loudly in front of Count Cruz, let alone those commoners.

But now, the guests who had been lying in front of the table and deliberately lowered their voices became noisy like a group of monkeys in mating season.

“That’s right! Three hundred thousand. The reward for the champion is a full three hundred thousand!”

“My stairway score is 4,500 points. Who else can join the team!”

“I only have 4,000 points. Damn it… looks like I can’t Sleep Tonight.”

What three hundred thousand? What four thousand points?

Count Cruz was in a daze. Kaos directly showed the interface of his weave to Count Cruz.

He patiently read the contents.

“The Holy Spirit Competition… rewards 300,000 gold coins and a world tree’s crystal.”

Count Cruz immediately understood what those commoners meant.

300,000 gold coins was indeed a terrifying number, but to Empress Yekana, it was only a large sum of money.

“Does the empress want the World Tree’s Crystal?”Count Cruz asked.

“Yes, and to prove to the world the strength of our country. I have said before, my lord, this is a war…”as Karos spoke up to this point, his tone became a little solemn. “Last time, we suffered a crushing defeat to the Frost Kingdom, a humiliating defeat, so this time, we must win.”

What honor could there be in a game..

That was what Count Cruz thought in his heart, but he did not say it directly.

The expression on Karos’face had already told Count Cruz that if he said such words of contempt for that match, Prince Karos would directly give him an iron fist punishment.

“I will follow Empress Yekana’s orders.”

Count Cruz remembered that the match was in twenty days.

“Are you going to Nolan when the time comes, Count Cruz?”

Kaos glanced at Edko, who was receiving treatment. He was showing signs of waking up.

“I will go… I am curious what kind of battlefield would make Edko so persistent,”said Count Cruz.
