Chapter 277 The Debate on Rewards

"Don't worry about the sand people. The sand people are just scattered sand. As long as we don't take the initiative to attack, they won't come much. We must take advantage of this time to break up the sand people and build a castle, otherwise there will be no chance."

"As for the materials, we have prepared a lot of materials for this war. This time, the sand people's hasty offensive, coupled with the success of our strange soldiers, the consumption is not large, and it can be used for this."

"I still object. The occupation of Blackrock Canyon will arouse the vigilance of the Quicksand Empire. Once the high-level officials of the Quicksand Empire notice this place, the real main force of the Quicksand Empire is simply not something we can resist."

A look of anger flashed in the eyes of the city owner: "The Quicksand Empire is not as strong as our Shenyan Empire. Do they dare to fight with our Shenyan Empire? You are alarming."

"No, it's possible. We are the only enemy of the Quicksand Empire, but our Shenyan Empire has more enemies. It is undeniable that we are stronger, but our forces cannot be easily wasted anywhere." This military The high-level officials did not hesitate to argue with the city lord without giving in to each other.

At this time, the representative of the nobles also spoke up: "We nobles also object. We cannot put Shiroishi Castle in danger. This is irresponsible for the lives of nobles. Moreover, this kind of plan cannot be decided by Shiroishi Castle itself."

The noble representative put his hands together: "The result of our discussion is that this plan must be reported to the empire. Whether it is implemented or not depends on the intention of His Majesty the King."

The nobles also jumped out to oppose it. What the city owner did not expect was that so many people would object to the plan that he finally concluded after eliminating all difficulties. This resistance is too great, and there is no way I can do it myself.

Just when the city lord wanted to argue with reason, a messenger ran in and handed a document to the city lord.

The city lord narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said, "Is this true? Has it all been confirmed?"

"Lord City Lord, everything has been confirmed, and the badge is here, you can check the records at any time."

The city lord nodded lightly, took the things, and then said loudly: "Okay, I will report this matter to His Majesty the King. Now let's put this matter aside and discuss the military merits."

With that said, the city lord took out Du You's badge, and then used a crystal plate to release all the pictures recorded on it.

"As you can see, Lord Du You played a big role in the success of this raid. This is a great contribution to our Baishi City and even to the Empire. I propose to give Lord Du You the title of Viscount. , and report at the same time.”

"no,

I object, the promotion of the title has never happened to promote two statuses at once. Moreover, he was born from a commoner, not a nobleman at all, and credit should not be counted like this. "

A look of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the city lord. The nobles today are completely different from before.

Is there no example of continuous promotion, no, of course there are, but this is the prerogative of the nobility. The nobles have made great achievements, and it will not feel excessive to reward them. Especially when the country was just founded, their ancestors could get high noble titles even for some small military exploits, but now they can't.

The current nobles have held the power of the empire for too long, and they do not allow new nobles to appear, especially those of the commoner class, and they are not allowed to enter their own class.

Even if it's just a small viscount, they don't recognize it. However, the city owner also knew that they would definitely object, so they deliberately raised so much at one time, otherwise the reward would be lower.

The city owner was also a nobleman, but he has always been in Shiroishi Castle, in the army. For Du You, who was also from the military, even if it was just an employment relationship, the city owner valued it more than others.

In the eyes of the city lord, most of the nobles are now incompetent waste, and it is very helpful to add some capable new nobles to purify some of the disadvantages of the nobles.

"In this war, the rear raids occupied a very important position. Without their attack, there would not be the current victory. There will be no stable time for the next ten years or more."

The city lord pointed at the screen and said, "You can see that, in the battle at that time, if it wasn't for the powerful mage Lord Du You, these people simply went to die and would not have much effect. Now, we still have to Continue to withstand the siege, and there will definitely be more and stronger sandmen gathered."

The representative of the nobles knocked on the table: "I don't object to what you say, but the title of nobles cannot be achieved overnight, otherwise it will breed arrogance. As a new noble, you must have respect for the older generation of nobles."

What is this, many people don't even know what this respect has to do with the promotion of the title.

People from the military didn't say a word, and just watched the show next to them. Many of them had noble titles, which was true, but they were not members of the noble family, at least not of their generation. So looking at the internal debate among the nobles, they did not hesitate to watch the show next to them, but the melon seeds and watermelons were missing.

"Don't you see his merits? If such great merits are not rewarded well, then how should others reward them. And those noble disciples in this war, their credits are probably even less important."

Involving the interests of their nobles, of course the nobles can only compromise.

A noble suddenly pointed to the screen and said, "I admit that Lord Du You deserves a lot of credit, but he must also be punished. You see, when he casts magic, he doesn't care about his own side at all, but rather covers and kills."

In the picture, Du You's last magic burst, the Holy Light Arrow accidentally injured his own people, and even killed his own people by mistake. There is also a picture of the previous slime swamp, where some soldiers ran into it and were poisoned.

Fortunately, the mucus was ignited in the end, and the pictures of many people being poisoned were not recorded because Du Youyuan was far away. Otherwise, these people would have added this matter to it.

"It's not easy for magic to be activated so quickly, how can there be so much thought to control it. This kind of accidental injury is not too big, and I believe it is not Lord Du You's own will. But if it wasn't for the full explosion of magic at that time, I'm afraid The consequences will be more severe, even lead to the failure of the mission, even with other people."

The two sides have fundamentally different perspectives on the issue, or the two sides have completely different goals. The city lord wants to set a model and encourage soldiers to make meritorious deeds, while the nobles simply want to suppress the civilian nobles.
