Chapter 261: Ceremony (1/2)

Sam doesn't know that Watt is thinking of his needs and is possibly looking for a mate. He entered the divine dimension as soon as he entered the room.

He immediately started working on the panthers. The first thing he has to do is make them consume the fire poison of the scorpion and the wind poison of the spider.

Then he has to use some refining techniques so that the body and the beast cores would become stable.

He doesn't have do all the work himself, he can leave that to Yanwu and Sky who have a great elemental control inherently.

He just has to make sure that the beginning is stable and has no hiccups.

The next day, at the dawn the city is bustling with life and vigour.

All the citizens and nobles are celebrating. Although the war was won a few days ago, the celebration was held on this day because today was the day of the official announcement.

Sam along with his friends attended the ceremony escorted by a Marshall in a special carriage dragged by a Level 6 Horse type beasts. Sam must say that he was flattered.

He didn't expect this level of reception.

They were led to their designated seats.

The ceremony was being held in the imperial palace grounds.

There is a large stage in the ground. The stage has a long horizontal table with seats for Emperor, empress and some important officials.

Below the stage, there are thousands of seats arranged in rows and behind the rows, there are numerous commoners who are here to watch the ceremony.

The seats are divided into two parts. On one side there are invited guests like nobles, merchants, people from the four professional towers and so on the other side there are soldiers, generals and many other people who contributed highly in the war.

There are some people who are related to the deceased and they are arranged to be seated in the same division.

Sam and his friends have first row seat in the second division.

In five minutes, the emperor and the empress arrived onto the stage. Followed by the two Marshalls, the ministers and so on.

All the audience stood up as a show of respect and after that, the ceremony began.

Arc stood spoke to the people after letting them take their seats.

”Today, I am here to announce that the Arian which has been divided into empires due to acts of some foolish rebels has now reunited again. I am proud to announce that the whole western continent is now Arian empire.

Today, we are all here to celebrate this victory and appreciate the efforts of the people who contributed for this to happen…

Soon, the awarding started. Many people have gained merits in the war and are awarded the new lands they conquered. Some were given new noble titles, some were given promotions, some are given medals of honour.

The award ceremony went on for hours and after more than five hours, it is Sam's turn.

That's right. Sam was also being awarded and it is more of a transaction than an award.

This is the last part of the deal Sam made with Arc.

When Sam's name was called, most of them are surprised and bewildered. Only few people knew who Sam was and what type of contribution he made in the war.

He is the reason that the whole Orion collapsed that early. His military training methods, his contribution in destroying the resource points, he even killed the emperor.

Every single one of his contributions can give him a title of War hero but he did all of them.

Sam is wearing his everyday black feather coat and his professional badges are all pinned on his chest.

Emperor stood beside him and spoke to the audience.

”He is Sam. An eighteen-year-old Great realm cultivator. Not many people know him. But he is the biggest contributor in the war.

He destroyed the mines, herb fields and so many resources of the Orion. He is the person who created the training system of our army and he is the person who killed the Emperor of Orion.”

His words shocked the whole audience including the ministers who are on the stage.

Only Marshall, some generals and some other soldiers know Sam's involvement. The ministers and even the empress was left out of it because of the possibility of them using politics to disturb the war.
