Chapter 179: Reward From the Emperor, Legendary Equipment Winter’s Wrath.

One month later.

On this day, messengers from the imperial court of the Kukarn Empire arrived at the Habsburg Manor.

They were ordered by Emperor Kukarn to invite Rennes to the imperial capital to receive rewards.

After all, Rennes had previously successfully defeated the diversionary orc force and captured their highest commander, extracting important intelligence from her.

This greatly contributed to the expulsion and annihilation of the orc army by the Kukarn Empire.

Such a great achievement.

Emperor Kukarn naturally could not turn a blind eye.

Whether it was to spend a fortune to reward and win over Rennes, this powerful individual.

Emperor Kukarn would definitely reward Rennes generously.

And if it weren't for the mess left behind by the orc army that needed to be cleaned up recently.

The emperor would have sent court messengers long ago.

Due to the emergence of a large number of noble military achievements in this major battle.

Emperor Kukarn decided to hold a reward ceremony.

The decided time is one week later.

"It seems like I have to go on another long journey."

After seeing off those court messengers, Rennes thought to himself.

Although he felt it was troublesome to travel such a long distance to attend the reward ceremony, but since the emperor himself sent the invitation, he naturally had to give face.

He then arranged the family affairs and explained to his wives that he was going to the imperial capital to receive the emperor's reward.

Rennes then set off with more than ten of his most elite griffin knights.

The imperial capital of the Kukarn Empire, Zidra City, is located in the northwest direction of the Lance Province, about five hundred thousand kilometers away.

Even if the holy light warhorse went on full speed mode, it would still take few weeks to reach.

In this situation, Rennes naturally won't choose to fly there himself.

Otherwise, by the time he arrives at the imperial capital, the food would have gone rotten.

According to the map given by his father-in-law, Governor Loska, it showed that, located west of the Lance Province, more than fifty thousand kilometers away.

There is a large commercial city called Angelo, which has a super large teleportation array that leads directly to the imperial capital.

Rennes prepared to go to the city of Angelo and directly take the teleportation array to the imperial capital.

Full speed ahead.

Three days later.

Rennes and the others arrived safely in the city of Angelo.

As a well-known commercial city of the Kukarn Empire.

Angelo City is very prosperous.

The streets are bustling with people, there are shops on both sides.

All kinds of strange and rare things were available.

It was kind of overwhelming.

However, Rennes and the others did not come here for shopping.

They didn't stay long.

Led by Rennes, the group went straight to the Lord's Mansion in the city center.

The teleportation array that leads directly to the imperial capital is inside the Lord's Mansion.

This long-distance teleportation array has extraordinary strategic significance.

In addition, it requires a large amount of magic crystals to be used each time.

Generally speaking, it is rarely activated.

Ordinary Transcendent do not have the qualifications to ride such a top-level teleportation array.

However, Rennes is obviously an exception.

Presenting the document that proves his identity as a Marquis of the Empire, the Lord of Angelo City personally came out to welcome him.

After learning about Rennes's purpose, he immediately ordered the activation of the teleportation array.

The whole process was respectful and courteous.

Accompanied by a strong blue light, the figure of Rennes and his group disappeared into the teleportation array.

The world spun, space shifted.

In the blink of an eye.

Rennes and the others arrived at a Grand Mansion in the imperial capital, Zidra City.

After passing the identity check.

Rennes and the others immediately headed towards the imperial palace in the center of Zidra City.

As the residence of the Kukarn Emperor, this palace is naturally magnificent, stretching over tens of thousands of acres, and the area it occupies is comparable to a small city.

Plus the security measures are extremely strict, even the guards responsible for guarding the gate have at least 12 skilled individuals.

After presenting the invitation and confirming his identity, Rennes was led by the royal guards to a magnificent palace complex.

This is the noble villa built by the Kukarn imperial court, specifically used to entertain high-ranking nobles who visit the imperial family.

Every corner exudes an air of nobility and luxury.

And upon entering, Rennes noticed that there were already quite a few people inside.

Obviously, most of these people, like him, are imperial nobles who have come to attend the reward ceremony.

However, he didn't recognize anyone inside.

Rennes didn't pay much attention to it.

After a quick glance, he went straight to his assigned residence, waiting for the reward ceremony to begin.

Four days later, the reward ceremony ordered by Emperor Kukarn began as scheduled.

Outside the central council chamber of the Kukarn imperial court.

Under the guidance of the palace guards, the imperial nobles, dressed in magnificent and solemn attire, entered in an orderly manner.

The order of entry is based on their rank.

As an imperial Marquis, Rennes' entry order is in the middle.

Half an hour later, when everyone had entered the council chamber, a middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold crown and holding the highest scepter walked in accompanied by a group of imperial guards.

Obviously, this person is the emperor of the Kukarn Empire.

Although he is a marquis of the Kukarn Empire, this is the first time Rennes has seen the emperor in person.

After carefully observing, Rennes realized that His Majesty the Emperor is indeed truly extraordinary.

He exuded an extremely domineering and majestic ruler's authority from head to toe.

His aura is like an abyss, making it impossible for anyone to see through his exact realm.

And if his speculation is correct, this emperor is an extremely powerful half god Grade expert.

Regarding this, Rennes was not surprised.

After all, the Kukarn Empire is one of the top forces in the Roland Continent.

As the highest leader of this vast empire, one can imagine how many precious cultivation resources this emperor possesses and used to reach his level of strength.

As long as one's aptitude is not too poor, it would be difficult to have a low cultivation level.

While Rennes was observing, the emperor walked to the throne at the top of the central council chamber.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," everyone bowed in unison.

The Kukarn Emperor waved his hand in acknowledgement.

Then, a smile appeared on his dignified face as he began his speech.

"Welcome to the imperial palace, everyone, to participate in this reward ceremony..."

"A year ago, the despicable and shameless orcs launched an invasion war against our Kukarn Empire..."

He spoke for about twenty minutes.

Only then did the emperor stop.

Next, they formally entered the reward segment.

"Viscount Lanny Caslake, bravely killed the enemies, led troops to defeat tens of thousands of elite orcs, raided the orc army's logistics, and burned billions of kilograms of their food and forage... Special grant of 600 square kilometers of territory, a hundred sets of heirloom-grade equipment, and one billion imperial gold coins."

"Viscount Nomi Nold, valiantly killed enemies, led troops to slay two hundred thousand orc army, recaptured ten cities... Special grant of the earl's title, one epic-grade equipment, and five hundred million imperial gold coins."

"Count Bernard Cantor, leading from the front, killed a legendary orc warrior in the frontlines, defeated the orc auxiliary army... Special grant of the marquis's title, three epic-grade equipment."

As the Minister of military affairs read out the military achievements, one noble of the empire after another stepped forward to receive the emperor's rewards and titles.

It wasn't until over an hour later that Rennes finally heard his own name.

"Marquis Rennes Habsburg, bravely killed enemies, made outstanding contributions to the empire."

"Single-handedly killed two legendary orc warriors, a Bison behemoth, captured the highest orc commander of the auxiliary orc army, the Silver Wolf Princess, and extracted crucial military secrets from her, making an indelible contribution to the victory of the battle... Special grant of the duke's title, legendary equipment - winter's Wrath, and ten epic-grade equipment."
