Chapter 531 - Honorary Mayor (2/2)
It was then, Shang Han reported, “As for the casualties, we lost 381 Beihua City soldiers!”
This casualty happened during the time when Shang Han led the soldiers to contain the ultra beasts inside Far Woodland.
“What?! We only suffered one twentieth of casualties compared to last year! How?!”
The photographer was stunned when he heard this.
However, he got his answer almost instantly—Shang Han continued speaking to the microphone, “This great victory is all thanks to one man. He’s the main person who did all the work to contain this round of ultra beast wave!”
Then, a video was projected on a screen behind her.
It was the video of Qin Feng slaughtering the ultra beasts in Far Woodland. It featured how he annihilated the ultra beasts with various skills—including his Fire Wall!
Not only that, the video also featured Qin Feng working together with Shang Han to take down the Pyric Wyvern.
It was a mere 30-second video. However, it featured all the best moments in the expedition.
All the horrifying ultra beasts were decimated almost instantly by Qin Feng.
Of course, the video did not show how Qin Feng reanimated the dead ultra beasts and took control of them to fight the remaining waves. It was quite difficult to ask the common, ignorant public to understand the dark ability. Besides, this was also Qin Feng’s trump card. As such, it was best to not reveal it to the public.
As the video ended, many C-tiers and commoners who did not get the news were shocked.
Then, Shang Han continued on with her report on Qin Feng’s achievements—he alone had slaughtered 8 waves of ultra beasts. Not only that, he was also the one who had slain the beast soldiers, beast kings and beast emperors.
“Thus, I hereby announce that Qin Feng is, from here on, the honorary Mayor of Beihua City!”
A loud, mix of cheer and gasp roared and echoed in the hall.
In fact, even Qin Feng was surprised to hear this.
However, it did not take long for him to calm down and understand why Shang Han did this.
The “Honorary Mayor” was just a t.i.tle with no authority and responsibility to the city. It was a t.i.tle as equivalent to the elders in the ancient warrior families. All the t.i.tle gave him was additional income and some popularity. And the only responsibility the t.i.tle would ask of him was to aid the city when it was in danger.
This t.i.tle would do nothing to limit him from continuing to do his own thing; and it brought more honor and glory to him as a person!
Hence, Qin Feng did not mind Shang Han’s spontaneous decision and walked to the stage to receive the honor.
Under the bright lights, it was clear as day that Qin Feng was a really young and youthful man.
To many, he seemed like someone who had walked out of a page of fairy tales.
Although he was made only an honorary mayor, this meant a lot to others. Beihua City was the heart of the northern region and Shang Han had always been the mayor of the city. The one below her—the Vice Mayor was the now deceased Cui Lian.
As such, with Qin Feng becoming the honorary mayor of the city, this meant that he was now considered a priceless a.s.set to the city. He was now a n.o.ble amongst the n.o.bles!
Many B-tiers were feeling sour from this decision but they still accepted it begrudgingly. How could they object to it? If they wanted to object, they would need to prove themselves more useful than Qin Feng. And as for now, not one of them could do it.
“Qin Feng, I would like to express the greatest grat.i.tude from Beihua City!” Shang Han took out a special badge and handed it to Qin Feng, with everyone in the hall as witnesses.
He was now the Honorary Mayor of Beihua!
“I was merely fulfilling my duty as a member of the Human Alliance, Regent Shang.”
As Qin Feng humbly accepted the badge, the people started to cheer for him.
It did not take long before the news spread to the public like wildfire, shocking the whole city.
