Chapter 74: Fulfill promises and reward based on merit
Brian saw that everyone had almost finished eating, and several nobles were even uneasy while eating, and kept looking towards him.
Brian knew that the highlight of the day was about to begin, so he turned and looked at Victor, and the two nodded to each other.
Brian stood up, raised his glass and knocked it, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
Dozens of people in the hall immediately fell silent, all staring at Brian, waiting for his speech.
Brian was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, cleared his throat and said.
"Before the war, I promised that after victory, I would reward the meritorious ministers with two knightly fiefdoms. One of the knightly fiefdoms was given to the military commander of this war, Sir Victor.
Victor will officially become the vassal of Lansburg, join our big family and become one of his own.
I have decided to grant Sir Victor the military governorship of Leisburg. Of course, if any of you have any objections, you can raise them now."
These knights had just achieved a great victory under Victor's leadership, how could it make sense?
Moreover, apart from Victor, there is probably no one else who can hold the position of military chief, because there was no military chief before Lesburg.
The king has a military minister, the duke and earl have a military commander, and the viscount himself has also served as military commander.
However, everyone is not surprised by Brian's decision. After all, he is the son of the Duke. Judging from what Brian did after arriving in Lesburg,
Brian's future will definitely not be limited to a small viscounty, and the position of military commander may be set up for future development.
These nobles and knights were all very aware of current affairs. They shouted that Brian's decision was wise and congratulated Victor on his appointment as the military governor of Lansburgh.
Victor also stood up, performed a standard knightly salute to Brian, and accepted Brian's appointment. He also felt that Brian's sudden offer to make him military director might be for future consideration.
Although the contact time was not long, Victor felt that Brian was by no means a thing in the pool, and he would develop better by following such a lord.
In fact, these people thought too much. Brian's military talent was limited. Although he won the war, Brian himself was not interested in military affairs.
He still just wanted to develop peacefully as a farming lord, so he wanted to hand over the military affairs of the territory to someone he could trust.
Currently, only Victor is suitable for this person. Of course, granting Victor the position of military director does not mean handing over all the troops to Victor.
Victor could still only command the 200 mercenaries of the Second Regiment, and Brian's bodyguards were still controlled by the Horton Knights and directly took orders from Brian.
As for the 300 black-armored cavalry, they belong to Duke Horsman's troops and were temporarily loaned to Lansburg. They may be recalled at some time.
After Victor's reward has been confirmed, the next issue is the issue that everyone is concerned about.
Everyone looked at Brian with eager eyes, and Brian didn't show off his next words, and continued.
"Two knighthoods, one of which has been awarded to Victor, and the other I will grant to the person who has made the greatest contribution in this war, and he will be born among you."
Brian only assessed the merits of everyone present. It was not that he did not want to give ordinary soldiers a chance, but he knew very well that it was good enough for ordinary elite cavalry to kill one or two enemies of the same level on the battlefield.
The ones who can really decide the outcome are these knights with fighting spirit. Without looking at the excited expressions of everyone, Brian turned to Victor and said.
"Victor, take out the photo stone you carry with you. In front of everyone, we will start to verify everyone's achievements in this war.
According to the common combat merit verification method in mainland China, 10 elite cavalry are equivalent to a junior grudge knight, and ten junior grudge knights are equivalent to an intermediate grudge knight. Let’s take a look at the number of kills among the people present.
most."
Victor directly took out a fist-sized crystal stone from his pocket and placed it in the center of the table. Then white light shone from the crystal stone in the center of the hall, projecting the battlefield last night.
It is the scene where Victor leads the elite cavalry to charge against the Merovingian cavalry.
Although the overall battle last night lasted a long time, most of the time was spent walking around with Count Merovingian's army until he led them into the mine array.
There were only two battles in which the vindictive knights led by Victor actually participated. One was to take advantage of the launch of the mine array to attack Count Merovingian's cavalry, and the other was to pursue Count Merovingian and his guards.
The battle that took place among the teams.
As for attacking the infantry camp, that doesn't count as a battle at all, it's just a one-sided crushing.
The two battles lasted only a short time, but everyone checked very carefully and recorded every kill of each person, so it was not until dark that they came to a conclusion that everyone was convinced of.
The one who killed the most enemies turned out to be Mayor House's son, Little House.
As a mid-level knight, Little House's personal strength is second only to Victor, but there are more than a dozen others at the same level as him.
The main reason why Little House can become the person with the highest performance in killing enemies is because he works hard enough.
In these two battles, Little House did not rely on his own strength to deal with ordinary elite cavalry, but chose other knights with fighting spirit to fight.
Moreover, by exchanging injuries for injuries and fighting for their lives, he killed two mid-level knights of the same level in a short period of time.
For this, Little House also paid a heavy price. He was hit twice in vital parts by the opponent. If he hadn't been wearing a precious magic armor, Little House would have died.
But even so, he still had two obvious wounds on his body. Although they would not be fatal immediately, they would have been injured if Brian had not taken out the magic scroll for healing.
He may be unconscious due to excessive bleeding, and it is impossible for him to still sit in the banquet hall and exchange rewards.
An interesting thing is that the Knight Munns, who is considered the most heroic by everyone, has fewer enemies than his friend Knight Horton.
Fortunately, relying on his strength as a mid-level knight, he was not the last to kill enemies, so it was not embarrassing.
After these grudge knights saw their respective kill numbers, some teased each other and some complimented each other. The most excited ones were Mayor House and his son Little House.
Although everyone calls him Little House, his full name is Hilton House.
