Chapter 789: Chapter 530, Awards Banquet_2
Especially the group of transmigrators behind Dong Jiayue.
While offering their salutations, they were subtly sizing up the famously powerful Fang Hao.
Six arms, Special Forces, genetic mutant, huh?
But in reality, he was just a handsome-looking young man.
No, he was incredibly handsome. What cosmetic product was he using? His skin seemed to glow.
“Everyone please rise, in this war, all of you are heroes.” Fang Hao spoke out loud.
Then, he walked up to the throne above and sat down.
Speaking to Dong Jiayue, he said, “Jia Yue, give us a brief overview of the situation.”
“Alright.” Dong Jiayue stepped up and loudly reported, “The residents of Gray Iron City were not attacked, they all hid in their homes. The remnant army is now being controlled by Bellerga. Additionally, we captured 372 dwarf officials. The document and ammunition warehouses were burnt down, which caused some explosions. The grain storages and general inventory were not affected.”

She took a deep breath. “42 royal family members were captured. We discovered 122 boxes of money and jewels, one platinum chest, twelve golden chests, and eighteen silver chests.”
When Dong Jiayue finished speaking, the atmosphere became heavier.
For Fang Hao and several heroes, these resources and treasure chests were not something big deal.
But for Dong Jiayue and a few transmigrators, just these treasure chests were enough to surprise them.
As expected, the silver treasure chests contained gold, and surprisingly, there was even platinum-grade treasure chests.
Forget about opening the chests themselves, sharing this news would be enough to brag about on the channel for at least half a month.
“The equipment data was burnt?” Fang Hao’s eyebrows knitted together instantly.
Dong Jiayue nodded and said, “Seeing that the walls of the city could not be defended, the dwarfs ordered the data and weapon repositories to be burned down. They originally planned to burn down all the other warehouses but there was a disagreement among them, so they didn’t succeed.”
These guys were pretty ruthless.
Burning the food supplies meant that they planned to have all the dwarfs in the city die with it.
When the time came, even if the city was captured, the victors would find no food supplies.
They wouldn’t keep too many prisoners, so as to not increase consumption.
“No problem,” Fang Hao said softly.
The equipment blueprints might have been destroyed, but there were treasure chests and a large number of captured dwarves. It wouldn’t be hard to regain the blueprints.
It’s just that without them, it wouldn’t be as convenient as having an organized equipment arsenal.
Afterwards, he briefed the remaining heroes on site about the special circumstances.
Fang Hao then began the commendation ceremony.
To him, capturing Gray Iron City was expected, but a won victory still needed to be celebrated.
Especially to show appreciation for the heroes and transmigrators who participated in the battle.
The banquet started at nine, all heroes and transmigrators who participated in the battle attended.
In addition, some native dwarven nobles who were willing to accept Fang Hao’s rule also gathered.
In the uplifting music, one could hardly see the scene of the recent battle.
Before the banquet officially began.
Fang Hao briefly kicked off with an opening remark, then went straight to the point.
He began commending the officers who commanded well in the battle and soldiers who performed valiantly.
Dong Jiayue, as the commander appointed by Fang Hao, had performed really well even at the age of just over 20.
Decisive in handling matters, she also willingly listened to others’ opinions.
Although she didn’t end the battle before winter, she still demonstrated great leadership capabilities.
As a good friend in this world.
Fang Hao certainly wouldn’t be stingy.
He said loudly, “Dong Jiayue deserves the first credit. All the transmigrators were saved by you this time, and they will all be assigned under your command. You’ll be rewarded with ten thousand Warfire Coins, two hundred sets of purple Temple Guardian armor, and we will primarily subsidize your city’s construction after the new year.”
Upon hearing the rewards, joy flooded into Dong Jiayue’s heart at once.
There was a considerable number of transmigrators captured by the dwarves. If she were to govern them, her territory and power would surpass Zhang Bin’s and Fu Lei’s.
The remaining Warfire Coins and purple sets didn’t appeal to her that much.
She had the power to utilize the nearby Undead, and so these two hundred sets of armor were not that useful to her.
They would be most useful as outfits for her trusted guard to ensure their safety.
The subsidy for her city’s development in the new year was also nice as it could speed up her own city’s development.
She quickly went over it all in her mind.
She stepped up and loudly said, “Thank you, my Lord.”
After Dong Jiayue, Fang Hao continued to commend the other heroes.
The rewards for the heroes were mainly Warfire Coins, plus some equipment and living conditions award.
After all, when it comes to the Undead, especially the Undead Heroes that were created, there really isn’t much to give as rewards.
The preceding rewards caused some restlessness among the transmigrators below.
They were gathered together, whispering amongst themselves.
“Damn, that’s a lot of money. Jia Yue made a fortune.”
“What does money matter? Two hundred purple suits! Right now, a single piece of purple equipment in the channel is worth a fortune, enough to choose a bride with.”
“Hmph! Men….”
“Exactly, I don’t like what’s available in the channel. I think Xiao Lan is pretty good.”
“Get lost, old man.”
After individually rewarding the heroes, it was finally the turn of the transmigrators below.
Everyone closed their mouths, their eyes filled with anticipation as they looked towards the respected Fang Hao above.
Before long, Fang Hao’s voice rang out.
He said loudly, “During this campaign, the transmigrator teams played a crucial role. Each person will receive one thousand Warfire Coins, 20 pieces of purple equipment, command of twenty thousand Undead Skeletons, and financial support for your cities in the coming year.”
Wow!
The transmigrators were instantly excited.
It was great to really have purple suits and twenty thousand Undead Skeletons.
Twenty thousand! And they don’t need to eat or sleep.
Whether it was for defense, or taking them on adventures, their own strength had increased several times over.
Seeing the excitement in the transmigrators below, Fang Hao chuckled.
Why are they overreacting? They had witnessed the scale of a million strong Undead.
With the conclusion of the rewards ceremony, Fang Hao waved his hand and the music started again.
The banquet officially began!
Delicious foods were served and everyone started to move around freely, enjoying the food.
Just in an instant.
The surrendered Dwarf nobles immediately rushed over.
They encircled Dong Jiayue and Bellerga, showering them with flatteries.
They hoped to receive better treatment in Gray Iron City in the future.
The Dwarfs never expected that Bellerga, whom they had driven out of Gray Iron City, would return in this insane manner.
And reclaim ownership of Gray Iron City.
The transmigrators thoroughly relished the food and wine on the table and savored their delightful time.
Nobody disturbed them, so they were just continuously eating.
“These Dwarfs sure have big guts. The city has just been breached and they are already fawning over Sister Jia Yue,” Yang Xiaolan said while eating.
“Yesterday, I heard Bellerga say that the top elites in the city fled through various means. These ordinary nobles are left behind. If they can’t escape, what can they do? Should they not try to please us and wait to be executed instead?”
“Are you kidding? We’ve sealed the city, how can they escape?”
“Obviously, you don’t know. They could have used the Alliance’s teleportation array, or a teleportation scroll, for example. One scroll could teleport a few people without a problem.”
“So, all the strong ones in the city have escaped?”
“The creme de la creme, probably a few of them.”
In the hall, people were chatting in small groups.
But Fang Hao did not remain at the banquet. Instead, he led a group of Undead Heroes to the back garden of the Royal Palace.
The plants in the garden were withered, and in the empty center, stacked piles of chests and loot were placed.
Hero Spencer said softly, “My Lord, these are the spoils of war we gathered. Except for a few Dwarf nobles who ran away, we didn’t disturb any other Dwarfs.”
“Hmm,” Fang Hao nodded.
His gaze fell on the loot, chests filled with gold and silver jewels, and various precious objects.
A total of 122 chests.
Going to the backyard was like going into a mountain of gold. Everything was gold in sight.
These Dwarfs really did not skimp on their payments.
Fang Hao’s gaze fell on it.
A series of numbers appeared before him.
[Warfire Cards: One for five million, two for seven million, Warfire Coins: 420,000.]
[Dwarf Bearded Gold: 2.5 million, gold and silver utensils: 3,200 pieces, jewelry: 20,000 pieces.]
They sure are rich.
