Chapter 77
Grilie City.

The situation of the war in Beitucheng has been reported back to Grilie City.In particular, the news of the appearance of the four powerful men from the holy realm aroused cheers from the entire city.

Countless celebration items were moved out one after another, and the entire city of Grilie was in full swing. It had not been this lively for a long, long time since the war began.

After suppressing it for five years, it finally broke out.

“It’s really crazy”

Qiao Geer and Yan were sitting in a carriage. Through the window, they could clearly see the various reactions of the residents in the city.

Yan also nodded. When he was in the Canglan Mountains and the Land of Silence, he met almost all kinds of magicians and warriors. They were afraid of the strong men in the holy realm and worshiped them in various ways, but compared with these people, they were completely different. .

Qiaogor did not continue to speak, but for a moment, he seemed to understand a lot.

For those magicians and warriors, they worship the Sanctuary because they hope that one day they can become a powerful Sanctuary expert and stand on the top of the continent.

For these ordinary people, the strong men in the sanctuary are the pillars of their stable lives.

It is precisely because of the existence of the powerful men in each holy domain that the empire can be stable and their lives can continue.Therefore, every time a strong man from the holy realm appears, especially a strong man from the holy realm in his hometown, the excitement of ordinary people is far greater than that of magicians and warriors.

For a moment, Qiaogor felt a lot of emotion.

City Lord's Mansion.

Nally had already greeted him at the door.

"Father!"

The moment he saw Thun, Nali couldn't help but stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, unable to control the tears in his eyes.

In the past five years, the contact between him and his father has been through letters and never met in person.

In the eyes of outsiders, he has been single-handedly in charge of Grilie City for the past five years, but no one knows how much pressure he has endured.Not only the pressure from the war in Beitucheng, but also various pressures from within Grilie City and from the empire.

Thun helped Nally up and patted Nally on the shoulder, "Okay, it's all over."

Looking at Nally's face that had become a bit weathered, Thun actually felt a little guilty, because he had previously thought about avenging Nader, and impulsively even thought about exchanging the lives of Porter and Green with himself.But he didn't consider Nali.

Once he falls, the Riley family will plummet.Not to mention the position of marquis promised by the empire, even the previous position of earl may not be able to be retained.

And those forces that have various connections with the Riley family will probably not miss this opportunity.

Fortunately, Joe Gor came back in time, otherwise he would really regret it.

Thun then looked around and made arrangements directly, "Send the order to Grilie City and exempt it from taxes for ten years!"

In fact, Thun was thinking about this after seeing the impact of five years of war on Grilie City.Although exempting them from taxes does not mean that the empire will exempt them from taxes, he can completely make up for this part of the consumption from Potter and Green.

When Thun said this, he even used some fighting spirit and spread it to a wide range.

The people around him heard it clearly, and suddenly they burst into cheers like a tsunami.

"My Lord Count, please be merciful!"

"My Lord Count, please be merciful!"

"."

For a time, countless people cried with joy.

Outside the city of Grilie.

A group of carriages stopped. The guards on the carriages were at least level six warriors, which showed the dignity of the carriage owner.

In the carriage in the middle, a slightly old hand opened the curtain and looked at the city of Grilie outside the carriage. He especially noticed the expressions of the people around him and said in a somewhat emotional tone, "This Thun, in this Grilie." The city is really popular."

The person who came was none other than Elson, the elder of the Aquilis Empire.

After several discussions, it was finally decided that he would convey the empire's will in person. Only in this way could he show sincerity as much as possible.

The four powerful men from the Holy Realm were worth a trip in person.

At this time, looking at the appearance of Grilie City, Elson also admired Thun a little.After supporting five years of war, Grilie City did not completely collapse, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

The empire's previous decision-making really made a big mistake.

"Mr. Ge, the army has just entered the city not long ago."

A guard trotted over and reported.

"Ah."

Elson responded, and then said directly, "Let's go into the city. Go and meet the Duke of the Empire."

The duke of the empire is at worst a ninth-level peak powerhouse. With this alone, his status is not lower than that of the pavilion boss.Moreover, this time the empire is also planning to assign the entire Jiangdong Province to Thun as territory. Counting this, Thun's status is somewhat worse than that of the emperor.

Even when facing the emperor, Thun did not need to salute.

Afterwards, the convoy continued to move forward towards Grilie City.

It has to be said that at this time, due to the appearance of the four holy domain powerhouses in Grilie City, even the guards were relieved to celebrate, and entry and exit became much easier.Also, with four strong men from the Holy Realm here, and the army returning with victory, who dares to cause trouble in the current Grilie City?
Soon, the convoy arrived at the location of the City Lord's Mansion.

Although the guards in Grilie City were slightly lax, the city lord's palace was still strict.

Elson got out of the car, looked at the bustling City Lord's Mansion, and then slowly walked towards the location of the City Lord's Mansion.

The guards were very attentive when they saw Elson and his party.After all, both the guards and Elson have a temperament that shows that they are not ordinary people.

Even the clothes are not affordable for ordinary people.

After the news about the powerful men from the Sanctuary spread, many big families in Grilie City, including some families from other cities, suddenly appeared.

Even before the army returned, these visits continued.In fact, each major family brought many precious gifts. The money alone was enough to support the war for another year.

Therefore, when facing such people with obviously different identities, guards will be more respectful.

"Excuse me, do you have any invitations?"

The guard stopped Elson and the others who had just stepped forward and asked.

Previously, when visiting, you only needed to state your name, and the guards would inform you.But that was to visit Master Nali. Now that Earl Thun has returned as a powerful man from the sanctuary, there are more people who want to visit, and ordinary families are no longer qualified to enter.

Elson smiled, not angry, and said in an easy-going tone, "I don't have an invitation. But you still need to tell me that Elson will come with the empire's will to promulgate the imperial canonization."

With that said, Elson motioned to the guards behind him.

The guard then took down a long wrapped box, which was tightly wrapped in brocade cloth.After opening it, a special piece of wood that can only be used by the royal family is revealed, and the patterns are all dragons.

Seeing the long box, the guard's expression changed drastically and he knelt down on one knee, "Welcome to you, sir!"

Even because of the strong men in the sanctuary, these guards felt that the status of Grilie City would definitely be improved.However, when facing the empire, they will still be instinctively in awe.

After all, the empire also has strong men from the holy realm.

"Okay, get up. Go and make a call."

Elson said directly.

Generally, when a decree is announced, someone will shout before they get close, so that no one can stop them.No one dared to stop it.But now, Elson did not do that.

"Yes, sir, please come in!"

The guard responded and arranged for another person to go quickly to report what was going on here, while leading Elson and his party in.

This time Elson did not refuse, but went in with the escort.

However, now the box is in his hand.

City Lord's Mansion, in the main hall.

Thun was still arranging some chores in Grilie City when he suddenly received news from the guards.

"What? The empire's will?"

Thun frowned slightly.

If it were before, he would naturally not dare to neglect it casually.This is true even if he knows that the empire's policies are aimed at Grilie City, but now, because of Chogor, Thun is not too worried.

"Father, what does the empire want to do when it comes to decree at this time?"

Nally was on the side, also a little confused.

Thun breathed out, "Why? Haha, it's just the icing on the cake."

He quickly realized that this purpose might not be entirely directed at him, but probably had something to do with Qogor.

This also made Thun couldn't help but sigh, strength is really the foundation of everything.

Judging from the time of his withdrawal and return, the empire should have sent people over as soon as they got the news.Only in this way can they arrive at almost the same time.

"Let's go and receive the order."

Thun stood up. No matter what, he was the count of the Aquilis Empire. Even with Chogor, he did not think about breaking up with the empire.However, he will also find ways to recover the losses of the five years of war from within the empire.

"Father, do you want to inform Qiaogor about this?"

Nally also asked.

In Nally's view, since this decree may have appeared because of Chogor, he should be notified.

Thun smiled and said, "No need. These guys should be worried."

He also had complaints about the empire's previous policies.But it’s hard to say anything at this time.If Qiogor didn't show up, they wouldn't be able to figure out Qiogor's attitude when delivering the order.

After hearing Thun's words, Nally nodded and said nothing more.

After the two walked out, they happened to meet Elson and his party who were led in by the guards.

"Elson?!"

Seeing the person coming, Thun was really surprised and walked a little faster.

In the Aquilis Empire, the emperor has the right to decide everything, but he cannot act arbitrarily and needs to listen to the opinions of the elders.It can be regarded as running the empire together with Mr. Ge.

After all, these elders' families are almost always backed by strong men from the Holy Domain.

Any pavilion elder is an important figure in the empire.It is generally impossible for them to leave the imperial capital, let alone just do "little things" like conveying orders.

Thun was naturally a little surprised.

Not only that, there are also different factions in the empire. In terms of various policies, Elson has helped Grilie City a lot.

In other words, in the imperial capital, the only person Thun does not really dislike is Elson.

Unexpectedly, he came in person.

Thun was surprised for only a moment, and immediately understood the empire's thoughts.It seems that the empire has relented.

Otherwise, Elson wouldn't have come.

"Haha, Tune, long time no see."

Elson did not talk about the will immediately, but walked towards Thun with a smile.

"Mr. Elson, would you like to go there personally for such a thing?"

Thun also smiled.

Although he said this, Thun felt an indescribable feeling, very comfortable.

"Haha, Thun, your victory over the Smit family can be regarded as a boost to the empire's national prestige. This kind of thing is not a trivial matter."

Elson made a haha, but did not directly explain the reason.

"Haha, Mr. Ge is serious."

Thun just smiled, and then said directly, "I don't know what the empire's purpose is this time."

These words are somewhat ironic. After all, during the five years of the war, although the will seemed to be good, it was almost a restriction on Grilie City.

Elson didn't seem to hear the ridicule, and he didn't follow the normal process of announcing the edict. He actually handed the long box containing the edict directly to Thun, "What is the edict? You'd better see it for yourself. It's a good thing. "

Seeing that Elson didn't even follow the process, he was a little confused.

Elson just smiled and said, "Open it. When I see you again, Thun, I'm afraid even I will have to call you sir."

Thun frowned and looked at Elson. Seeing that Elson didn't say anything more, he opened the long box without any pretense and took out the very exquisite imperial decree.

In addition, there is an extremely 'precious' seal.

Opening the imperial edict, Thun quickly read the contents clearly.

After reading it, Thun was really surprised and looked at Elson, "Elson, this"

Elson laughed, "Haha, Your Majesty Duke, what do you think of this imperial edict?"

The people around him didn't react for a moment when they heard Elson's sudden address.Afterwards, everyone became excited.

Could it be that the Earl has been promoted to Duke?
It has to be said that Thun was shocked by the arrangements in the imperial edict, the position of duke and the territory of Jiangdong Province.In other words, he changed from the lord of Grilie City to the king of Jiangdong!
The gap in between is not an exaggeration.

Although he was excited, Thun was not carried away by these things and knew that the source of all this was Qogor.

After all, just the identity of 'King Jiangdong' is not something that a ninth-level warrior like him can match.Not to mention defeating the Smit family, even if they conquer ten cities for the empire, they may not be able to get this reward.

Seeing that Thun was still in shock, Elson stroked his beard with a smile and naturally changed the subject, "Duke Thun, in addition to congratulating the Duke, I came to Grilie City this time. thing"

Thun raised his head and looked at Elson.

Elson did not hide anything, and continued with a smile, "I heard in the imperial capital that the grandson of the Duke has broken through to the realm of the Holy Realm. I don't know if I have the honor to meet him."

Perhaps in order to prevent being rejected, Elson continued with a more formal tone, "On behalf of the Stuvia family."

Stuvia is Elson’s family.It is a long-established Sanctuary family in the Aquilis Empire.
