Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1087: Honours Awarded

The excited drum music reverberated through the hall of Victorious Return Palace in a bright rhythm.

Today, the sun was shining brightly. In the Victorious Return Palace in Daybreak Fort, bright sunlight cast golden patches from outside the high windows, illuminating the black marble floor of the palace. Six graystone columns that needed to be carried by more than one person propped up an arched dome. On the dome was an epic battle scene pasted with brilliant Maserite tiles. It was the famous painting "The Rise of the Empire" with the theme of the decisive battle of Mount Dawn. The battle that decided the rise and fall of the Empire was recorded in an artistic way forever.

Today was the day Tangrio Great Emperor awarded Alan the honor, and Victorious Return Palace was already filled with spectators. The people who could enter the palace were all imperial ministers or royal nobles. Since Alan had been recruited by Julian, the majority of the crowd today were still the Second Prince and Prime Minister Nabott. Secondly, there were some neutrals, but most of them were young ladies and madams from various clans.

Compared to Alan's many accomplishments on his way north, including the confrontation with Midian at the ruins of the old Great Wall. The ladies were more concerned about the appearance of the Southern Knight. After all, the man had first taught General Arkham's son a lesson on the Golden Bridge, and then had forcefully opposed Prince Hawson on his first arrival in Olliska because of his woman. This kind of man, who was both magnanimous and romantic, wouldn't it be terrible if he looked like a short wax gourd?

Apart from these people, there were only a few people from the Hawson faction left, but not to mention Hawson, even Roderick did not show up. In the end, the fourth prince, Savis, didn't even see a single person. He didn't know if he wasn't interested or if he didn't put a single Ellen in his eyes at all.

"Earl Allen is here!" At this time, the master of ceremonies sang at the entrance of the palace. The people in the palace hall immediately turned their gazes towards the entrance. A moment later, a figure walked in from the bright sunlight outside the door. As he stepped on the golden specks of light on the ground, his silver hair refracted brilliance. The dust in the air drifted down, landing beside him like starlight falling from the night sky. The pure white-colored decorated dress and the black undergarment gave off a simple and pure aesthetic feeling. The necklace wrapped in golden threads was pinned at the collar, and the pin embedded with the gemstone became the focus of his gaze.

The cuffs and horns were painted with golden embroidered threads, and the golden wolf head on his chest was the badge of the Count's territory. Red King was tied to a belt made of gold and other metals. Allen strode towards the center of the palace with the hilt of his saber in one hand. Everyone's eyes immediately lit up. Especially those young ladies and madams, their eyes were almost spitting out flames!

To them, the young count was the first choice for their dream lover, regardless of his appearance or temperament. Instantly, the crowd on both sides shouted softly. If it wasn't for the fact that they were in the palace, they would have even screamed for them.

The Prime Minister chuckled and said, "Our Earl Allen is a good seller."

Julian also sighed, "He looks more like a prince than some of my brothers."

Allen stopped at the central platform of Victorious Return Palace, and then the Master of Ceremony sang, "The King is here!"

Under the arena, regardless of status, everyone knelt on one knee. Only Nabott bowed to the high platform. Such a privilege was exclusive to him and Roderick. Alan also half-knelt on the ground and lowered his head as instructed by the etiquette officer. In his ears, he heard a series of footsteps coming from the high platform. The formless might of the footsteps surged down like a surging river. Everyone in the hall, including Alan, was shocked. They all felt that Wang Wei was like a mountain.

Alan knew that Tangerio had arrived, and Great Emperor knew that he was also a top expert with just a bit of momentum. In fact, Tangerio's strength was enough to be ranked among the Ten Saints, and he could sit steadily in two seats. However, because of his special status, he was not ranked among the Ten Saints. Otherwise, the Ten Saints would be fine with Midian. The might released by Tangelio was just right, forming an invisible oppressive feeling, but it was not enough to directly shock ordinary people into fainting.

The sound of footsteps stopped, but a straightforward voice sounded, "Everyone, get up." With the words of the Great Emperor, everyone stood up again, but everyone lowered their heads. No one dared to look at the high platform. Tangelio continued, "Five hundred years ago, outsiders ruled. They enslaved humans like birds, humans were born weak, and outsiders were as fierce as tigers and wolves. That was the darkest part of our race's history. Even though the human resistance has never stopped, it is a pity that we are not united, as if we are a pile of scattered sand. It wasn't until the late Emperor Clegane called out that hope dawned. The final battle at Mount Dawn witnessed the rise of the empire. "

"And this blink of an eye is hundreds of years have passed, time flew, the river diverted. However, there is one thing that remains unchanged, and that is the bloodlust that flows in each of us. It is the most precious legacy left behind by our ancestors. It is in our blood, in our souls, constantly reminding us that today's peace comes from blood and bones! If peace is to continue, there must be some brave men among us who dare to go to war, and I am glad that there are quite a few brave men among us. "Today, a brave and powerful warrior comes before me. He is our Earl Allen!"

Drums rang out, and the people on both sides of the hall applauded like thunder. Julian winked at Alan and stepped onto the platform. Alan took a deep breath and suddenly raised his head to climb up the stairs. As he stepped onto the platform, he first saw the gilded floor. Next was the fur edge of the cloak, and finally was a figure that seemed to be about to prop up the heavens and the earth.

He finally saw Tangelio!

The king of the human empire was in his prime. Beneath his black and rough hair was a rough and dignified face. The crown on Tangelio's head shone brightly, a crown made of gold, engraved with mysterious and ancient symbols, ancient symbols of the empire; At the edge of the crown were nine golden spikes like spears and swords, which seemed to imply that every emperor had to endure the trials of swords and wars; The crown was decorated with gemstones and silver ingots, representing the nobility of imperial power.

Tangelio wore a golden armor, and a fierce lion's head was carved on his chest. Behind him was a scarlet cloak with a high collar. The edge of the cloak was decorated with a circle of pure white fur. He held a huge sword with a gorgeous and oppressive shape in both hands, which made the Great Emperor look more like an invincible war god.

At this moment, the Emperor's gaze fell on Alan. Alan felt as if his eyes were burning, as if he wanted to see through himself. Before he could react, the Heavenly Flame Origin Energy within his body surged with all his might, brazenly colliding with the Origin Energy contained in the Great Emperor's gaze. Immediately, an invisible wave of turbulence erupted from the Victorious Return Palace. Beneath the platform, many noble ladies cried out in alarm, while many others staggered like they were drunk and almost fell to the ground.

Everyone could only feel a series of tremors on the ground, as if an earthquake had occurred. However, he didn't know that Tangerio and Alan had used their gazes to fight. Tangerio's gaze now turned gentle and wasn't as sharp as before. Allen knelt on one knee and lowered his head, "Your Majesty, please punish me."

Only Tangerio understood what he meant. Although Alan's reaction was natural, it was disrespectful in the palace. That was why there was the word punishment. Tanglio smiled and shook his head, "I'm not that petty. However, your strength actually smells like Void Origin Energy. No wonder you can attack and defend against Midian before reaching Level 30."

Alan was stunned this time. However, Tangerio could feel that his Origin Energy was unusual just by touching his gaze. In other words, even if Tangerio didn't possess Void Origin Energy, he knew one or two of them.

At this moment, the Great Emperor shouted, "Today, with your eyes and ears, I am here to confer the title of Earl on this person before me. I hope that Earl Allen will serve the empire more in the future."

After saying that, he raised the giant sword in his hand and lightly patted Allen's shoulder.

Another round of applause came from below the stage.

Tangerio withdrew his sword and said in a voice that only Alan could hear, "I heard about you defying Hawson at the city gate two days ago. I said the same thing about Great Emperor here. Hey, with your boy, you should do this as a man. Do your best!"

Then he turned around and left.

Alan was so embarrassed that he didn't expect that even Tangerio would care about this kind of thing.

The Master of Ceremony sang, "Send the King away respectfully."

Naturally, it was another pilgrimage. When Alan got off the platform, everyone gathered around him to congratulate him. After all, it was a great honor to be awarded the Great Emperor Medal, not to mention that Tangerio had praised Allen in every line just now. Anyone who could stand in Victorious Return Palace could tell that they had lived in the imperial capital for a long time, so they could guess how much Great Emperor's intentions would cost. Since Tangerio was so optimistic about Alan, the young count would naturally be the target of all his efforts, even if he was currently working for the Second Prince. But this was only the present. As for the future, who could tell? josei

Julian wasn't too busy coming up to congratulate him like everyone else. First, he had a special status, and secondly, he was too pretentious. After privately telling Ryan to celebrate Allen's banquet tonight, he nodded to Allen from afar and left behind Nabott. Alan was surrounded by the palace crowd. Fortunately, Ryan was able to get out of the encirclement from the side. However, in the short span of ten or so steps he took out of the crowd, countless young ladies and madams had attacked him and Qiubo had secretly sent him off.

By the time they left Victorious Return Palace, Alan had already received quite a few invitations to a banquet. Of course, most of them didn't need to worry about it. As for who would be able to attend the banquet, it was up to Rhine to choose for them. Alan still thought that he could return to the manor to rest. He didn't want the two Silver Frost Iron Guards to bow and stop him. Then, he turned around. A maid in the palace smiled at Alan and said, "Count Alan, Princess Shusha, welcome."

Immediately, Ryan's expression became exciting.
