Chapter 57 [The Hall of Honor]

In the hall, all the assessors who won the riding and shooting have been concentrated. Those who were eliminated in riding and shooting have lost the opportunity to inherit the title.

The tradition of inheriting titles of the Empire of Light was left behind from the Dandong era. Emperor Abbas was afraid that his empire would fall after a brief glory. In order to maintain the quality of the upper ruling class of the empire, Dandong designed this assessment system. It has to be said that the greatest emperor in the history of the empire, Emperor Abbas, had his extraordinary qualities, and this vision alone was enough to prove it!

Any nobleman above the earl must participate in the assessment if he wants to inherit the title. If he cannot pass the assessment, he will only be eliminated.

Of course, a nobleman cannot have only one son. If a son is eliminated, then other sons can be allowed to participate in the assessment. I believe that everyone has a son who is successful in the family. Even if his son is not successful in the future, the emperor will not deprive him of his title. However, this generation is no longer qualified to have a title. But in the next generation, if outstanding people emerge, they can also participate in the assessment again. If they can pass, they can restore the title!

In other words, the title is given to the family and will be retained all the time. However, if a certain family has the ability, it can obtain the title. If it doesn't work, it will have to wait until the next generation will talk about it.

The assessment system established by Dandong is to maximize the ruling of the empire and not be weak and corrupted because of a peaceful and peaceful life. This is also the most important reason why the empire can still maintain considerable national strength after two hundred years.

Wu’s assessment has been passed, and the following are other assessments.

His Majesty the Emperor personally presided over the second round of assessment. Several elders from the royal think tank respectively assessed several young nobles.

This assessment was even more relaxed for Roddy. Whether it was political views or knowledge, he had already gained a considerable foundation after the teachings of the scholars Nicole found for him. In addition, after reading so many books, Roddy's knowledge in his mind was outstanding at this time. Even if he couldn't answer some strange questions occasionally, fortunately, Andy's old monster who had been more than 200 years old was reminded in his mind at any time--that what the old guy who had been more than 200 years old knew was comparable to an encyclopedia!

Of course, Roddy also has his weakness, and his weakness is faith! He himself can't answer most of theology questions. This cannot be blamed. He was originally skeptical of the belief in the gods on the mainland, and the people he came into contact with, whether it was Andy, Old Mark, or even Dandong who had died for two hundred years, seemed to be rebels who disdain for "God".

Fortunately, Andy existed, and he also dealt with all the problems.

After the day's assessment, several families were happy and some were sad. Although some young nobles were eliminated, their families who came with him might not be disappointed. Some were the eldest sons of the family who lost the opportunity to inherit the title because of this failure, while other sons in the family were very happy. However, some families lost the last glimmer of hope. If they wanted to restore the glory of their family, they could only wait for the next generation to talk about it...

Roddy and the other seven young nobles stood in a row in front of the hall, waiting respectfully for the emperor's enthronement. Abbas XI was in a very complicated mood at this time - the current situation was completely in line with his plan. He originally wanted to send the Tulip family members to the front line to take the blame. Then it was also planned to let him inherit the title. But today the strength shown by this kid is too amazing! He defeated sixteen first-level warriors by one person! And each opponent could not even stop a move in front of him! Such strength may have exceeded level three or above!

This kid is amazing. I'm afraid he really went to the northwest and didn't know what he would do!

And that Gray... that person was not sent by him to plot against him. However, Abbas XI also knew in his heart who sent that Gray. I heard that Miro, the commander of the Northern Legion, had a bad relationship with Seth, and Grey was Miro's friend... These kids would mess around all day long!

Miro, he favored him very much, but he was a little capable. However, Miro seemed to be a little anxious about sending people to deal with the Northwest War recently. He was determined to transfer his Northern Legion to the Northwest - this guy was too anxious to make contributions... But no wonder, he was determined to overcome the Tulip Family...

Miro seemed to see something about himself preparing to promote Seth, so he dared to use tricks while lowering his eyes... Humph.

Abbas XI had various thoughts in his mind, and his eyes slowly circulated on the faces of the eight young nobles in front of him. Except for Roddy's calm expression, the other seven people all turned red, as if they were trying hard to suppress their inner excitement.

"You make me very proud." Abbas spoke slowly, his voice clear and pleasant: "You are worthy of the glory of your family!"

Speaking of this, His Majesty the Emperor slowly stood up, and his left hand raised the scepter symbolizing the supreme imperial power, and announced loudly: "I announce in the name of the blood of Emperor Abbas and the supreme ruler of the Light Empire that you have officially inherited the title of the family! Your glory will coexist with the empire!"

"Long live! Long live!" All the guards inside and outside the hall cheered loudly. The eight young warriors immediately knelt down.

The emperor slowly walked up to everyone, pulled out his sword, gently pressed it on everyone's shoulder, and then reached out to let them kiss their ring.

Roddy only felt that His Majesty's hands were cold and he didn't look excited or happy at all. He smiled coldly in his heart, but his face remained silent.

Just as the eight young nobles stood up to accept the congratulations from other nobles, a strange and shrill trumpet sound came from the hall!

"Ah!" Many people couldn't help but exclaim, with a nervous expression on their faces. His Majesty the Emperor also changed slightly.

Because they have heard that this is a special notification horn in the imperial city. The legacy of Emperor Abbas, whenever there is an emergency military situation or an important incident on the border, the commissar can blow the horn, and then all guards in the guards must not be blocked, and must be released until the main hall! Even in the middle of the night, all carriages and horses must not be blocked!

Only the sound of rapid horse hooves came from far to near outside. A warrior in silver armor ran all the way to the hall. The knight almost rolled off the horse. His face was covered in sweat, his armor was messy, and his helmet was gone. But a long red emergency flag with a symbol of the 100,000-year-old man on his back was still flying.

Gedon and several guards immediately surrounded him. Although he could enter the palace without stopping, the inspection before seeing the emperor was indispensable.

The silver-armored warrior was almost unable to stand firmly. With the help of two guards, he took out a token from his arms - it was the pass token of the Northwest Legion Commander!

Ge Dun nodded and personally carried the warrior into the hall.

"Your Majesty! Northwest Military Information!"

Abbas XI trembled, then he barely stood firm and said loudly: "Speak!"

The silver-armored warrior seemed to hesitate for a moment - he was not a fool, there were so many people in the hall now - and if the news he brought was heard by so many people, it would probably not be a good thing.

Abbas XI's face darkened and said lightly: "Tell me, I can't hide it anyway!"

The silver-armored warrior immediately fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty! Two days ago, Luo Yantar, the great prince of the Great Moon Kingdom, personally led 180,000 cavalry to rush 500 miles in two directions and one night, conquering two important towns in northwest Trier and Loulan. The defenders were defeated and 30,000 soldiers were lost! At present, Luo Yantar's army has formed a siege of attacks and encirclements of our Northwest Legion! General Ruben asked Your Majesty to send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

Buzz —!!

There was a noise in the hall, some screaming, some whispering, and many people whispering, all with fear on their faces.

Abbas XI had a pale face, a gloomy gaze appeared in his eyes, and he looked at the silver-armored warrior in front of him. Then the emperor of the empire breathed a long sigh.

"Godun, go and summon all the ministers to come!" The emperor's voice was a little pale. Then he glanced at the nobles in the hall again, waved his hand, and sighed: "The people who have nothing to do will all be dispersed!"

After everyone knelt down and saluted, most of them dispersed. Although Roddy had just obtained the title, he had no official positions yet, so he followed Nicole out of the hall. Only a small number of nobles with official positions remained in the hall.

Along the way, many nobles were talking about the war in the northwest. Roddy didn't say a word, but just followed Nicole out with the crowd.

In the square, Instructor Carter heard about the war in the northwest. The excited expression on the face of the soldier who had been through the battlefield could not help but whisper: "Mr. Seit... no, well... Duke. Will Your Majesty the Emperor send us to the war now? Every time the empire encounters difficulties, it is the time for our Tulip Family to make achievements!"

Roddy looked cold and couldn't help but look at Nicole. Seeing that Nicole was also worried, she smiled bitterly and whispered: "Yes. Instructor Carter, it seems... it's time for us to appear."

But Roddy still didn't say anything in his mind:
Chapter completed!
