Chapter 452 (1/2)

The rewarding ceremony continued

Guided by a Magus of etiquette, Ji Hao stood on the bottom step of the altar while the attentions of millions of people were focused on hiained by the others who had also devoted outstanding services during the Chi Ban Mountain war

The ones ere rewarded with enfeoff, Hao Tao and some others

Si Xi was Earl Chong, and this ti all ranks of a minister in the alliance of human clans, only Earls and Marquis could have enfeoff, the area of his territory had increased by a hundred times

Si Wen Ming and the others were 'Earls' as well Si Wen Ming didn't seeh position and didn't think highly of this new enfeoffment of his

However, Huaxu Lie and Lie Mountain Kan were so overexcited that they both had been quivering intensively and their faces had even turned a purple-red color

They were both 'princes,' cultivated by the Huaxu Family and Lie Mountain Family with no efforts spared Each of thehts in their own clans and had been enjoying rather preferential treat they had, came from their clans; their warriors, their territories, all their powers, everything was given by their clans

Those elders and leaders of their clans could take everything they had aith a single word

But now, they had reat contributions to the humankind and had attained the noble titles of 'Earl' Now, they each had their very own territories, and these territories they owned had nothing to do with their clans These lands were now their very own territories that belonged to no one else but themselves

They could now store up reater loyalty to them, could expand the scale of their clans as much as they wanted, and have more clansmen who are loyal to their families; they could also havefor the position of leaders against other princes of their fae

In fact, in addition to these practical benefits, only the title of 'Earls' given by Emperor Shun had already made them different fro hall and could meet the human emperor in person at all tiovernment of the hu as the leaders of their clans

Most i ceremony would be under the protection of alliance of human clans, no one could invade even a little bit of their territories As long as the alliance of hu, their territories would be as solid as an iron block and could be inherited by generations of their descendants

Huaxu Lie held the conferral scroll with both of his hands, walked down the altar through the stairs step by step, then stood on the left side of Ji Hao

In a short while, Lie Mountain Kang walked down the altar as well, standing on the right side of Ji Hao

The two of the in low voices together

Huaxu Lie laughed and said in a low voice, ”I have spent over a hundred years and made countless contributions to our humankind My contributions accumulated and finally this time I have attained e yet already, you are as same as us”

Lie Mountain Kang gave a laugh as well, then said, ”Look at Minister Si Wen Ming He is older than us and has made more contributions than we have But as he had been pressed by Lord Si Xi all the tis, therefore, same as us, this time he finally attained a title of 'Earl' Ji Hao, you have to treat us and buy us drinks”

Ji Hao grinned, casting a sideway glance at each of them He was clearly aware that in the future and inside the alliance of human clans, these two men, ere both princes of well-knoerful families and now had both become officials with enfeoffed lands, would naturally be his allies Ji Hao sreat wine and delicious ht now, my territory is basically empty We don't knohen you can have your banquet on my place yet”

Huaxu Lie pondered for a short while, then said, ”H and talk about this You kid don't even have a single clansman under your command So incompetent as Earl Yao in this way”

Lie Mountain Kang wanted to say soi Palace, earing a long black robe, showed up like a ghost and helplessly glanced at the three of them Instantly, all three of them shut theira look of reverence and awe
