Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill Chapter 711:Due Recognition

Their voices echoed throughout the camp.

Even the proud nobles lowered their heads in respect before the four supreme rulers.

At that moment, a rough and commanding voice suddenly echoed across the entire camp.

"Those above the Divine Knight Realm, quickly assemble for the meeting!"

The order spread throughout the camp almost instantly.Experts from every direction immediately began moving toward the largest command tent.

Inside his secluded room, Ethan slowly frowned.

'A meeting...'

For a brief moment, he wondered whether he should attend or simply remain where he was.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

Knock. Knock.

"Sir Ethan."

It was Duke Alaric's voice.

"You should come with me."

Ethan remained silent for a moment before opening the door.

Duke Alaric stood outside with a serious expression."They specifically requested everyone above the Divine Knight Realm."

"It would be better if you attended."

Ethan quietly nodded.

"Alright."

Without wasting any more time, the two of them walked toward the central command tent.

The guards standing outside immediately stepped aside and respectfully opened the entrance.

As Ethan entered alongside Duke Alaric, his eyes immediately swept across the room.The spacious command tent had become completely silent.

Rows of powerful experts stood respectfully on both sides while countless nobles lowered their heads without daring to speak.

At the very front of the hall sat four figures.

The four supreme rulers.

Emperor Caelus Drakhar of the Xylos Empire.

Emperor Aldric Morvath of the Morvath Empire.

Emperor Ezekiel Von Valorant.

And...

Queen Ophelia Eldoria.

The moment Ethan's gaze landed on the four rulers, he immediately understood one thing.

The true leaders of the Allied Army had finally arrived.The large command tent remained completely silent as everyone stood respectfully before the four rulers.

The atmosphere inside was heavy and solemn. Rows of commanders, nobles, generals, and powerful experts stood quietly on both sides of the hall without making the slightest unnecessary movement.

The pressure created by the four supreme rulers was far greater than the aura outside the camp. Even those who stood at the Divine Knight Realm and above remained disciplined while waiting for the meeting to begin. The only sounds inside the tent were the gentle flutter of the banners and the faint crackling of the lamps.

After a brief exchange of formal greetings and military reports, Emperor Aldric Morvath slowly rose from his seat.

The moment he stood up, everyone's attention naturally shifted toward him. His calm face gradually became stern as his sharp eyes slowly swept across every person gathered inside the tent. He folded his hands behind his back and stood tall before speaking in a steady voice that carried throughout the entire hall.

"While we are here, let me remind all of you once again."

He paused for a brief moment and looked at everyone before continuing.

"Taking down Arcadia is not just for wish fulfillment."

"The higher-ups of Arcadia have committed unbearable crimes for many years. They have brought suffering to countless innocent people ever since the days before Arcadia became an Empire. After all, how could it be easy for an ordinary kingdom to rise into an Empire?"

His expression became colder as he continued speaking.

"It all began with the founder of Arcadia. He used heinous methods to step into the Ascension Realm. But even then, he was not satisfied. He wanted to become a God, and for that he carried out countless schemes and plans. His ambition knew no limits until, in the end, he was consumed by it himself."

His words echoed throughout the command tent.

Many commanders quietly nodded because they had grown up hearing similar stories. Some nobles clenched their fists as old hatred resurfaced in their hearts. Others simply listened in silence without showing any emotion, carefully thinking about every word that had just been spoken.

Standing among the crowd, Ethan quietly listened from beginning to end.

His face remained calm, and he neither agreed nor disagreed with anything that had been said. Deep inside, however, he could not help but wonder how much of this history was true and how much had been changed over the years. History was often written by those who stood victorious, and every nation had its own version of the past.

Still...

At the end of the day, none of that truly mattered anymore.

The war had already begun.

Whether those stories were completely true or only half true, everyone standing inside this command tent was already on the same side of the battlefield. There was no turning back now.

After finishing his speech, Emperor Aldric's stern expression gradually softened.A faint smile appeared on his face as he slowly looked around the hall once more.

"My nation has suffered for many years."

He spoke those words quietly, yet everyone heard them clearly.

"And now..."

"It is finally time to end this grievance."

As he finished speaking, his eyes slowly moved across the gathered crowd. His gaze passed over one commander after another until it finally stopped on a single person standing near the middle of the hall.

The sudden pause immediately caught everyone's attention.

Following the Emperor's line of sight, every noble, commander, and expert slowly turned around.

Their eyes finally settled on Ethan.For a brief moment, complete silence filled the tent.

Ethan noticed the Emperor looking directly at him. Without showing any nervousness, he slowly raised his head and calmly returned the Emperor's gaze. His expression remained peaceful while he stood with his hands resting naturally at his sides.

Emperor Caelus looked at him with a gentle expression before speaking.

"Marquise Ethan of Arcadia."

"I want to thank you on behalf of my citizens whom you spared and took care of while others slaughtered them brutally."

A wave of quiet whispers immediately spread through the tent.

Several nobles looked at Ethan in surprise because many of them had only heard rumors about his actions. Others carefully observed his expression, curious about how he would respond after receiving gratitude directly from an Emperor.

Ethan remained calm.

His expression did not change in the slightest.

Looking directly at Emperor Caelus, he gave a respectful nod before answering in a steady voice.

"I just followed my heart and wasn't able to watch the cruelty inflicted upon the common people."

His words were simple.

There was no pride in his voice, nor did he try to make himself appear noble.

He merely spoke what he truly believed.

For Ethan, helping those innocent people had never been about gaining praise or recognition.

It was simply something he could not ignore.
