The victory celebration at Mist Castle was held as scheduled.
This was the King's reward for the victors of the war. From Dukes and Marquises down to the most obscure Knights, anyone who had distinguished themselves in battle and earned a nomination would be decorated.
Ronin did a quick count. The number of Honorary Knights conferred in this battle alone already exceeded thirty.
The lesser nobles who had answered the call to war, while not receiving promotions to their Noble Titles, were given generous monetary and material rewards.
As for the main forces, such as Ibn Count of Double Peaks Ridge and the Black Jade Bay Viscount who died on the battlefield, they both received the former Tricia Kingdom encampments they had conquered as fiefs, just like Watchtower Castle.
Of course, the center of attention at the banquet was undoubtedly Ronin. The Marquis of Moonlight Valley was promoted, as everyone had expected, to become the Oduin Kingdom's fourth Duke—the Duke of Conqueror.
