Chapter 358 Promoted to Viscount
Chapter 358 Promoted to Viscount
Faced with A Guer's request, Zhang Qiang wanted to refuse. After all, he was with a lord who had betrayed two kings, and his reputation would be bad, which would affect other lords' views on him.
He is now in the rising period of his career, and maybe he will get a viscount title soon.
It is not impossible to skip the fourth-level title to obtain the title of Viscount, but it is almost a reality. It is not every day that four hundred cavalry elites want to defeat [-] infantry troops again.
This time luck was not defeated, and almost did not pass the test. At the end of the battle, the weapons in the hands of every soldier were almost unsteady. , Sprint again, sprint endlessly, and then still support when you can't support, many people are not killed in battle, but exhausted.
A Gu'er rolled her eyes, looked at Zhang Qiang's embarrassed eyes and said: "My lord, although I am an earl, I am willing to cling to your wing until you don't need my allegiance. An exiled lord has no land or income, and the threat to you, my lord, is so weak that it cannot be counted. Please accept me, my lord!"
Zhang Qiang pondered for a while, "Earl Aguer, why did you leave the Kujit Kingdom?"
Agu'er Nayan said angrily: "Our family has worked hard to serve Sergei Khan's throne for so many years, but this time because of the heavy losses in the battle with the Kingdom of Swadia, Sergei Khan deprived us He should at least give us a small territory to maintain our army and maintain our noble rights. We have fulfilled our obligations to him, but he has not fulfilled our noble rights.
This is very unequal. If there is no equal rights and obligations, I think it is not far away from the family and relatives, so I ran to the Kingdom of Salander, but unfortunately, the first battle of the Kingdom of Salander encountered When I got on you, my troops, which had already lost a lot, could not fight against your elite cavalry, so I decided to leave for a while to avoid the sharp edge, and after the dust settled and I recovered my strength, I would pay. Thinking of this man, Hakim Sultan——. "
"Okay, I'll recommend it to King Harolds for you. I'm risking my reputation. You should know that." Zhang Qiang said.
Agu'er Nayan said: "I understand this, if you can wait, I think I will definitely repay you in the future, trust me."
"Well, a lord with no income and no land, a risky thing, this really makes me embarrassed, but in the spirit of chivalry, it is not impossible to help a weak person, A Gu'er Nayan, no, in the future We should still call you Earl Aguer. I hope we will work together for the throne of King Harlaus and the future of the Kingdom of Swadia."
Zhang Qiang finally agreed to Earl Aguer's request.
After Earl Aguer’s gratitude, Zhang Qiang’s team has already arrived at Suno City. Suno was the capital of the former Kingdom of Swadia. For the city of Palavin by the sea, Zhang Qiang doesn't know why.
After passing through the city gate, Zhang Qiang saw the flag of the Earl of Crags hanging on the gate, which proved that the city belonged to him. His ability and his influence are known to everyone in the Kingdom of Swadia. Even the currently declining Harengos family has to rely on his reputation and strength.
Su Nuo is an extremely large city. Although it was snatched by Palavin because of the title of the capital, it also occupies the center of this area because it connects Nord and Rhodok. The roads extend in all directions and the economy is extremely prosperous.
Even though there are frequent wars in this area at present, its prosperity seems to be unaffected at all. On the crowded streets, people have to be driven away by horsewhips and angry shouts to reach a passage for Zhang Qiang's exhausted and heavily damaged team to squeeze through and return to the city. Suno's barracks.
As soon as he arrived at the barracks, Zhang Qiang was busy non-stop. A group of personnel were looking for doctors, replenishing supplies, resting and resting. Some hired knights who had familiar old friends in Suno City left the camp one after another. The whole team seemed to be in an instant The space is like a sand man collapsing in water.
After setting up the troops, Zhang Qiang came to the inn exhausted. As a baron, he certainly couldn’t squeeze into the barracks with those lowly people. The musty, damp, and smelly bedding of the barracks must be more noble than them. Of course, he must find a clean and comfortable place. The inn settled down.
A good night's sleep.
In the dream, he seemed to have returned to the real world, watching his parents working in the fields, holding the tail of the buffalo himself, and playing on the grass, as if seeing his friends arguing over who would be the policeman They don't want to be thieves, the police catch thieves, and the bricks and clods flying over their heads like locusts, two children take bricks and clods to fight with a few children who bully them, and the adults met on the street They all ran away one after another, for fear of harming the fish in the pond, and watched with a smile as the children occupied the entire street, and watched the bricks and clods smash the entire rural street into a garbage dump.
In a daze, Zhang Qiang heard someone pushing himself vigorously, and heard someone shouting, "My lord, my lord, wake up quickly, His Majesty the King has returned to the city with an army."
After getting up in a hurry and washing up, Zhang Qiang dressed neatly and rushed to Suno's inner city with a few heroes, Earl Crags's castle, to meet King Halaus.
Walking into the noisy castle hall of the inner city, dozens of lords were drinking and eating meat between toasts, and even Harlaus, who was sitting on the throne, was holding a huge roast leg of lamb with dripping water on it. With golden suno oil, the fragrant meaty smell penetrated into his nostrils one after another, and he couldn't help rubbing his nose.
Seeing his lord, the Earl of Montville and his father, the Earl of Reyes, Zhang Qiang hurried over, and several barons and viscounts around the Earl of Montville quickly gave up their seats for him. head, and sat down beside the Count of Montville.
The Earl of Montville was chomping at something with his back turned to him, and he was still talking loudly, "If I hadn't been brave and fearless, in order to defend the spirit of chivalry, I rushed up bravely... Uh, Baron Zhang Qiang—you are here,"
Earl Reyes put a silver cup in front of Zhang Qiang with a smile, held a silver flagon in his hand, and poured Zhang Qiang a glass of fine Verruga wine. Smelling the fresh smell of wine, Zhang Qiang suddenly had a big appetite Zhen, stretched out his hand to take the wine glass handed over by Earl Reyes, and took a sip lightly.
Putting down his glass, Earl Reyes said to him: "Baron Zhang Qiang, my vision is correct. You are indeed a young talent with unlimited potential. I was very surprised and very happy about this matter.
You don’t know, everyone’s jaws almost dropped when they heard the news. It’s a fantasy that a 400-man cavalry unit defeated a 2-man Salander army. Inquire through channels, and everyone is convinced by your victory.
You don't know about your battle, no one would object even if you were made an earl lord, but your rank is too low, I have already suggested to His Majesty the king to skip the first four ranks of baronship and directly seal you As a viscount, and transfer the village of Uludana under my name to you. "
Zhang Qiang responded very modestly: "Thank you Lord for your appreciation, I can't repay you,"
"Haha," the Earl of Montville smiled and patted Zhang Qiang on the shoulder beside him and said, "Then sell you to us, my girl is looking forward to seeing you as a hero every day, this time you defeated the army of Salander Heroic deeds, I don’t know how long it will excite my girl, how about going back to spend more time with my girl when you have time?”
Zhang Qiang nodded hurriedly, what is this, force your girl to me, as if I don't have a woman, go back to my territory, hook fingers, I don't know how many women and servants there are in the territory The woman is eager to serve me.
The Earl of Montville saw Zhang Qiang's embarrassment, and thought he was shy, and smiled with satisfaction: "You know that the war in our area has just ended, and Kujit and Salander fought again. I just received the news, It is said that Hakim Sultan fled back, and then immediately sent someone to negotiate peace with Seji Khan in Kujit.
But Serji Khan was very angry at Hakim Sultan's occupation of his kingdom's Halma City, Uluzdak Fort, Ahun Fort and other territories, but because he also lost in the last war with us It was so severe that he was unable to continue fighting with Salander, so an armistice agreement was signed instead of a peace agreement.
Maybe they will fight again in the next war cycle. This is good news for us, but it is also bad news. In short, we are the ones who are hurt the most, and that area is not affected much except your territory. Other than that, the rest of our domains have become commercially desolate, people have abandoned their homes, and their fields have been abandoned to the point of barrenness.
Therefore, I don't have anything to reward you this time, so I sent ten cows to your village to express my heart. "
Zhang Qiang raised his wine glass and said to Earl Montville, "Thank you for the Lord's gift, I offer you a toast!"
Count Montville raised his glass, and the others also raised their glasses, "Cheers, to the Kingdom of Swadia!"
Earl Reyes looked at their harmonious relationship with a smile while holding his wine glass, and nodded in satisfaction.
After Zhang Qiang finished drinking, he looked at the smiles on the faces of the people around him, and felt that his status in their hearts had risen to a higher level, their kindness to him had increased, and his relationship with these two lords was getting closer. He took a step forward and anxiously sent his sister or daughter over to express, can this relationship not be close?
After dealing with his lord and colleagues, Zhang Qiang had to face King Harlaus and the other lords.
Amid the sound of knocking wine glasses, Zhang Qiang saw everyone put down the wine glasses in their hands, turned around in unison, and looked at King Harlaus and Earl Crags on the main seat.
After wiping off the wine stains on his stubble, Harlaus stood up and said to everyone, "This time, thank you for your concerted efforts to repel the army of the Kingdom of Sarande and the great victory of the expedition to Veruga. Especially the independent one Baron Zhang Qiang, a noble fifth-class baron who defeated the army of Salander, used his bravery and chivalry to tell people that the Kingdom of Swadia still has talents and is still invincible as before."
"The kingdom of Swadia will win!"
Someone stood up and shouted loudly, interrupting King Harolds' speech.
When everyone heard it, they stood up and shouted in unison: "The Kingdom of Swadia will surely win!"
"The Kingdom of Swadia is invincible!"
"Unify the continent of Calradia, destiny belongs!"
"May the gods of heaven bless my king—Halaus!"
Zhang Qiang yelled mechanically along with everyone, confused, he was really disgusted with this kind of slogan-style allegiance, there were already too many passionate idiots shouting slogans in ****.
When everyone quieted down, King Harlaus's face was blushing after drinking, his eyes bent into a crescent moon in satisfaction, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
He pressed his hands down to let everyone be calm, and then said: "I am very satisfied to see that you are so loyal and work together. What I want to say now is that Baron Zhang Qiang, his bravery has surpassed After seeing his status and identity, I think it's time to improve his status and status. I now announce that Zhang Qiang, the fifth-rank baron, will be promoted to viscount. Rudana Village was awarded to him."
After speaking, he walked down the steps and came to Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang knelt down on one knee, bowed his head, and accepted his bestowal.
Why do you say familiar?
This is the fourth time for him from the knight to the present, and he is still not familiar with it. Isn't he an incorrigible primary school student?
After the conferment was completed, Zhang Qiang stood up. King Harolds turned around and took a set of yellow coat of arms from the tray of the guards beside him, and handed it to Zhang Qiang. Lesarit beside Zhang Qiang quickly took it, and then the coat of arms , Viscount ring.
Everyone brought by Zhang Qiang held a full tray and stood behind Zhang Qiang.
Everyone has a happy smile on their face.
After all this, Harlaus returned to the throne, sat down, and said to Zhang Qiang: "Your reputation is enough for you to become a viscount nobleman, and your right to rule is enough for you to have more fiefdoms, but A viscount is limited to owning only two villages, but because of your contribution to the kingdom, after discussing with the ministers, I decided to bestow a knight with the most meritorious service under your banner to manage a village on your behalf.
We captured Veruga this time. There are many affiliated villages in Veruga. The earls and lords under me have already received enough rewards. After passing through the Kingdom of Kugit and the Kingdom of Sarande, as well as Rhodok, they have been fighting with us in the past two years. Going to war, and the Vegia Kingdom, the Nord Kingdom's harassment from time to time, many of my vassals have betrayed me, so I decided to promote you as a nobleman in your deployment, who do you think is capable of taking charge of your deployment This village? "
Zhang Qiang was stunned, his thoughts turned rapidly, is this a temptation?
Or is it because his credit is great enough and the rewards from above are not enough to make up for his credit, and based on retaining his loyalty, he gave an additional village that belongs to him but is not under his jurisdiction?
And if it is true, which one of your subordinates should you recommend?
Anyone who recommends will make his other subordinates feel dissatisfied, Zhang Qiang feels very embarrassed.
