"Don't worry about the sandmen, the sandmen are a plate of loose 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 sandmen and build a castle, otherwise we won't have a chance. ”

"As for supplies, we have prepared a lot of supplies for this war. This time, the sandman hastened to attack, coupled with the success of our strange soldiers, the consumption is not large, and it can be used on this. ”

"I'm still against it, occupying the Black Rock Canyon will cause the quicksand empire to be vigilant, once the high-level leaders of the quicksand empire notice this, the real main force of the quicksand empire is not something we can resist at all. ”

A flash of annoyance flashed in the city lord's eyes: "The Quicksand Empire is not as strong as our Shenyan Empire, do they dare to go to war with our Shenyan Empire." You're being alarmist. ”

"No, it's possible, the enemy of the Quicksand Empire is only us, but our Divine Flame Empire has more enemies. It is undeniable that we are stronger, but our forces cannot be easily wasted anywhere. This high-ranking military did not hesitate to argue with the city lord on the basis of reason, and did not give in to each other.

At this time, the representative of the nobility also spoke: "We nobles are also against it. White Rock City cannot be put in danger, it is irresponsible for the lives of nobles. Moreover, this kind of plan cannot be decided by Baishi City itself. ”

The representative of the nobles clasped his hands together: "The result of our discussion is that this plan must be reported to the empire, and whether it is implemented depends on the will of His Majesty the King." ”

The nobles also jumped out to oppose it, but what the city lord didn't expect was that the plan he had finally summed up against all difficulties would be opposed by so many people. This resistance is too great, and there is no way to do it yourself.

Just when the city lord wanted to argue with his arguments, a herald ran in and handed the city lord a piece of information.

The city lord's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said, "Is this true?

"Lord of the City, everything has been decided, and the badge is also here, so you can check the records in it at any time. ”

The city lord nodded slightly, 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 for a while and discuss the matter of military merits." ”

As he spoke, the city lord took out Du You's badge, and then released all the pictures recorded on it with a crystal plate.

"Everyone has seen that the reason why this surprise attack was able to succeed was that Lord Du You played a great role. This is a great achievement for us in White Rock City, and even for the Empire, and I propose to give Lord Du You the title of Viscount, and report it at the same time. ”

"No, I'm against it, there has never been a situation where the title has been promoted by two at once. Moreover, he is of civilian origin, not a child of nobility at all, and the credit should not be counted as such. ”

A touch of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the city lord, the current nobles are completely different from before.

Is there no example of continuous ascension, no, of course there is, but this is the prerogative of the nobility. The nobles have made great contributions, and it will not feel too much to reward them. Especially when the country was just founded, even if there were some small military exploits, their ancestors could get a high noble title, but now it can't.

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

Even if it's just a small viscount, they don't approve of it. However, the city lord also knew that they would definitely oppose it, so he deliberately raised it so much at once, otherwise the reward would be lower.

The lord of the castle is also from a noble background, but he has always been in White Rock City, in the army. For Du You, who is also from the military, even if it is just an employment relationship, the city lord values it more than others.

In the eyes of the city lord, most of the nobles are now some wastes with little ability, and being able to add some capable new nobles is very helpful to purify some of the shortcomings of the nobles.

"In this war, the rear raid occupies a very important position, and without their attack, there would not be the current victory. There will be no stability for the next decade or more. ”

The city lord pointed to the picture and said, "You can see it, the battle at that time, if it weren't for the powerful mage Lord Du You, these people would have been sent to death at all, and it wouldn't have had much effect." We still have to continue to bear the siege now, and there will definitely be more and stronger sandmen gathered over. ”

The representative of the nobility knocked on the table: "I have no objection to what you say, but the title of the nobleman cannot be achieved overnight, otherwise it will breed arrogance." As a new aristocracy, you must have respect for the older generation of nobles. ”

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

The people in the military didn't say a word, they were watching the show on the side, many of them had noble titles, which was true, but they were not from the aristocratic line, at least not in their generation. So looking at the internal arguments of the nobles, they did not hesitate to watch the show on the side, just the melon seeds and watermelons.

"Don't you see his merits, if such great deeds are not rewarded well, then how should others be rewarded? And those noble sons and daughters in this war, their merits are probably even less significant. ”

The interests of their nobles were involved, and of course the nobles had no choice but to compromise.

A nobleman suddenly pointed to the picture and said, "I admit that Lord Du You's credit is great, but he must also be punished. You see, when he casts his magic, he doesn't care about himself at all, but overlays the damage. ”

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

Fortunately, in the end, the slime was ignited, and the picture of many people being poisoned was not recorded because Du Youyuan was far away, otherwise, these people would probably have to add 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 that this is not Lord Du You's own will. But if it weren't for the full burst of magic at that time, I am afraid that the consequences would be even more serious, and even lead to the failure of the mission, and the same would be true if someone else was replaced. ”

The two sides look at the problem from a fundamentally different angle, or the purpose of the two sides is completely different. The lord of the city wanted to set an example and encourage the soldiers to make meritorious contributions, while the nobles simply wanted to suppress the commoners and nobles.
