Chapter 166.

As a result of the torgos rampage, the fortress the foreigners called home disappeared from the face of this world. Given this, Seon-Hyeok and the others headed for the capital.

When they arrived, the capitals cheering citizens were awaiting them alongside the Royal Knights and Royal Mages.

Drachen once again saved the kingdom from crisis!

The citizens first and foremost praised Drachen, the repeated savior of the Adenburg Kingdom, then cheered on the knights and mages.

However, Lee Soo-Hyuk and the other foreigners did not despair.

After all, when they were merely foreigners with low-tier classes, they could not have imagined even stepping foot inside the capital. They were sufficiently touched at being given the chance to walk shoulder to shoulder with the royal familys superhuman beings.

It felt like they were returning home in glory.

Next time, Ill make sure you call my name our names.

Soo-Hyuk promised this to himself, and the other foreigners likewise vowed to become individuals worthy of being singled out by the cheering citizens.

You are also the best!

Their wishes came true sooner than expected.

The people of the capital had not been ignoring the foreigners. It was simply that they were intrigued by the presence of knights and mages, figures generally unseen outside of their posts.

No matter what the foreigners of other kingdoms may be like, we consider you people of the Adenburg Kingdom!

You are our compatriots!

You fought well! Thank you!

From time to time, they heard these encouraging words mixed in with the raucous cheers. Though these shouts were infrequent and feeble, for the foreigners, they felt far louder than any cheer.

Stand up tall.

Seon-Hyeok, understanding their feelings better than anyone else, encouraged them with a look of satisfaction.

Youre no longer the low-tier soldiers they used to look down on.

They had yet to be knighted, but they had fully proven their abilities. They had no reason to lower themselves in front of others.

Okay.

Soo-Hyuk made a strange noise as he gulped. He soon composed himself, but his face was still red with emotion.

Heroes of the kingdom!

When they passed the central road cutting through the capital of Adenstein, they saw King Theodore surrounded by the Royal Knights.

I pay tribute to your heroic struggles!

Charismatic as always, the king personally praised the foreigners and the knights.

When you first arrived in this land, I promised to be your strong supporter. You have proven your worth, and I will likewise keep my word.

Though his voice was low, King Theodores powerful words spread across the area as if imbued by magic. The foreigners bowed even deeper as they witnessed the kings dignity for the first time.

I will grant 100 gold and an Order of Merit to those who displayed courage in the face of that terrible demonic creature!

Wow!

Taken aback by the generous reward, the foreigners unknowingly cheered before quickly realizing their mistake and shutting their mouths with a grim look. However, King Theodore, ever generous to those with accomplishments in battle, encouraged them instead of reprimanding the
