On the afternoon of August 20, the awarding ceremony was officially held in the central square of Kapur Port.
It was revealed that this ceremony was held by His Highness Sean, and the whole city of Port Kapur was shocked.
Countless residents rushed towards the central square like a tide, filling the huge square with water.
The naval officers who participated in the naval battle and the dignitaries of Kapur Port also arrived one after another.
Everyone witnessed this great moment together.
.
The navy officers were all flushed with excitement. They felt a great honor to be able to participate in this war that would go down in history.
The people in the city also raised their arms to celebrate this victory, and the cheers were deafening.
.
After the awarding ceremony began, Sean first announced the good news that the Lane Navy had won a complete victory and the Anjou-Pirate coalition had been completely annihilated.
With the blessing of magic, Sean's voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
Kapur Port was boiling again, and cheers resounded from the sky.
Before this, no one could have imagined that the Lane Navy could defeat the powerful Anjou Southern Navy, but this time, Sean did it! He even annihilated the opponent! Everyone present witnessed the birth of a miracle.
.
Next, Sean awarded the Medal of Honor to the heroes who participated in the war.
Grand Admiral Windsor, who trained the artillery units well and commanded the battle perfectly, was awarded the Bronze Cross;
Ockham Sparks proposed correct tactics and personally transformed the first gunboat, and was awarded the Silver Cross;
Lor'themar, Zhu Taran...etc. were awarded the Black Iron Cross for their bravery in battle.
...
The only regret is that the Albatross of Doom, the biggest hero in this war, cannot come to the scene, so we can only compensate it with more grilled fish in the future.
In addition to conferring honors, Sean also distributed a large number of rewards to meritorious officials.
The main ones are titles, land and gold coins.
Although Sean is only a baron, no one dares to question him.
Under Sean's canonization, Windsor and Occam Sparks received the title of honorary earl, and Lor'themar, Zhu Talan and others were also granted the title of viscount.
And Sean gave each of them a large amount of land and huge gold coin rewards.
From top to bottom, the naval officers who participated in this war also received heavy awards. In addition to the basic bonus, everyone received an extra year's income!
The naval officers received hero-like treatment, and faced the admiring eyes of the people in the city, they raised their heads high one by one.
.
After the award ceremony, Sean led the navy officers and the people present to observe a five-minute silence for the fallen soldiers, and distributed high-standard pensions to the relatives of the fallen soldiers.
Earl Powell ordered the masons to make a monument engraved with the names of all the fallen soldiers, and their achievements were written on it. This monument will always be placed on the seaside for future generations to admire.
.
After all this is done, the award ceremony comes to the last item.
Sean flew into the sky on a broomstick and said to everyone below:
"I am announcing below: I will officially appoint Lor'themar as the governor of Port Capul, and will carry out all military and political affairs of Port Capul on my behalf. Everyone is welcome!"
There is a slight difference between Lor'themar's "Governor" title and Anduin's "Consul" title.
The consul had absolute jurisdiction over the territory;
The governor was only a nominal leader, and the main jurisdiction was still in the hands of his noble lords.
It's a bit like the commander-in-chief of each country, and the subordinate states also have great power.
.
The residents of Kapur Port present were stunned and discussed one after another:
"Lor'themar? Who is this person?"
"Did you hear that?"
"No, never heard of it."
Even among the navy officers, many people don't know who Lor'themar is. He was not the main figure in the award ceremony just now, so they all looked confused.
Lor'themar didn't mind at all.
No one knows him now, but he will definitely let everyone in Port Kapur know his name in the future.
Lor'themar shook off his scarlet cloth cloak, stepped onto the podium, and began his inaugural speech:
"Hello everyone, my name is Lor'themar Theron, the ranger of the Golden Middle Rank. From today on, I will serve as the governor of Capul Port..."
Lor'themar's speech was eloquent and eloquent, lasting several thousand words, and he was not nervous at all. His performance was grand yet elegant, solemn yet humorous, free and easy yet wise.
The people of Port Capul who were present at the ceremony, especially the wealthy and powerful, did not know Lor'themar at first. After seeing Lor'themar's performance, their understanding of Lor'themar gradually increased.
Coupled with Lor'themar's golden mid-level strength, many people realize that he is a powerful figure comparable to Anduin!
I didn’t expect His Highness Sean to have such a level of talent at his disposal!
.
At the end of Lor'themar's inauguration speech, just when the audience was getting a little impatient, he dropped a bombshell:
"Now, I am here to announce a great news on behalf of His Highness Sean."
"Great news?"
"Any more good news?"
"There are already too many things that make me happy today, I didn't expect there to be more?"
The attention of everyone present was drawn to Lor'themar.
Lor'themar paused here for a moment, and then announced loudly:
"His Royal Highness Sean has reached an agreement with Matthew Iris, the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Anjou, and we will open a new route directly to Pearl Beach State!
Moreover, His Highness Matthew is willing to escort our fleet.
This means that our maritime trade in Kapur Port will not be affected in any way!"
"Wow! Is it true?"
"Very good!"
The eyes of the dignitaries of Jon City who were present lit up. This was great news for them!
Even Earl Powell was surprised. Sean didn't tell him the good news yesterday!
"Long live His Highness Sean!"
"Long live His Highness Sean!"
"Long live His Highness Sean!"
The dignitaries of Port Kapur took the lead in shouting long live Sean, and the people in the city followed suit.
Not long after, the cheers on the field were replaced by a uniform "Long live" like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
.
Sean looked at the enthusiastic people below and showed a happy smile.
My efforts some time ago are considered worthwhile.
If he and his generals had not joined the war, there is a high probability that the Anjou-Pirate coalition would have occupied Capul Port.
Based on the nature of the enemy pirates, this place may have become a hell on earth just like Oran City!
If he could keep the people living and working in peace and contentment, Sean felt that all the hard work he had done in the past was nothing.
.
Now, the entire awarding ceremony has come to an end.
Looking at the excited dignitaries of Capul Port below, Sean wanted to tell them about the cancellation of the reform, but he was afraid that they would faint from excitement, so he had to let Lor'themar tell them later.
Sean officially awarded Lor'themar the scepter symbolizing the power of the governor, which can be regarded as officially entrusting the entire Capul Port to Lor'themar.
Chapter completed!
