After a while, the Count arrived with a group of nobles.

"Well done William, your plan has worked!" The Earl dismounted, and said to William.

"Thank you for the compliment, there is still a loophole in my plan, and it is you who have made up for this loophole, please forgive me." William learned of the shortcomings of his plan only after the war.

"It's okay, of course the young man has to hone more, you have a lot of credit for this victory, and when you return to the castle in a while, I will celebrate for you!" The Earl said with a smile on his face, and the victory made him feel good.

"Bring all these things back to the castle and start demobilizing the civilians tomorrow!" The Count said to the nobles and clerks beside him.

Due to the large amount of finances, the soldiers improvised a dozen wagons to transport all the booty back to the castle, not counting what the knights and soldiers carried with them.

In the evening, a grand banquet was held in the castle, as long as the nobles in the castle, ashamed of the noble women, all participated in the banquet, the number of people at the banquet was three or four hundred, and the light of the candle and oil lamp illuminated the hall.

The food on the long table was very rich, honey, white bread, all kinds of meat, all kinds of wine, all kinds of spices, all kinds of fruits, which filled the whole hall.

Today is a carnival of victory, a banquet that only the victors are qualified to hold, and everyone will revelry at the banquet to release the pressure on the battlefield and before the war.

The feast had not yet officially begun, the Count had not yet appeared, and everyone was waiting, waiting for the Count to appear and announce his reward.

Finally, the Earl walked to the top of the throne under the gaze of everyone, coughed lightly, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

In a loud voice, the Count declared: "Today, we have triumphed, it is a glorious victory, the people of God the Father have beaten the infidels to the ground, and one day we will spread the grace of the Holy Father to the land of the infidels and turn them into the children of God the Father!" ”

"Oooh!"

"Spread the Father's grace!"

Everyone responded with cheers to the Count's impassioned speech.

The Count glanced around, and then said: "In this war, there are many knights who have sacrificed their lives, and there are also many knights who have made immortal feats, and we will always remember the knights who sacrificed, and we will also reward the knights who have meritorious deeds!" ”

The earl paused: "You say, in this war, who is the one with the greatest merit and the most outstanding merit?" ”

How could the knights not know who the Earl was talking about, and cheered: "It's Sir William!" William the Maniac! William of Wisdom! "Even the knights under Viscount Cowen have quite a few people who say so.

William nodded frequently to the other knights in the crowd, and the Earl said at the top, "Come here, boy!" ”

William walked up to the Earl, got down on one knee, and the Count lifted him up, raised his right hand, and said in a loud voice to everyone: "Today, the honour belongs to him, Sir William!" ”

Everyone cheered again, and there were also many female dependents below, looking at the much-anticipated William, with peach blossoms on their faces, "Is this the legendary William?" Looks so handsome! This was the idea of most of the female dependents, and at the same time, several nobles with unmarried daughters in the family had the idea of marrying.

What others think of William doesn't know, he only cares about his own gain, what the earl will give.

Then the Earl said: "In view of the great deeds of you, Sir William, I decide! ”

There was silence as everyone held their breath to hear what the Count would give William in reward.

"I decide, grant it to you! William, the title of baron, henceforth you may call yourself a baron, and I grant you the Manor of Mendes and the twenty-nine villages under its jurisdiction and the forests that are nearby, as your fiefdom, and, of course, you will travel your obligations to me, and be loyal to me and my family, and to perform military service and taxes, and I will protect you and your family from inviolation. ”

Everyone was stunned by this reward, and no one expected that a person who had just been a knight for a few years would become a nobleman with a hereditary title and a hereditary fief, which was a great temptation for a knight who was not hereditary.

Although everyone was surprised, no one thought it was unreasonable, and the merit of burning the enemy's grain and grass and offering a plan to defeat the enemy made everyone shut up, and his merit was enough to be knighted.

William knelt down on one knee and said excitedly: "Thank you for your appreciation, Lord Earl, I will definitely fulfill all my obligations to you, please rest assured."

The Earl smiled and nodded, and struck William's shoulder three times with his sword, indicating that the canonization was complete. When the canonization was over, the count rewarded other nobles and knights for their merits, and most of them were satisfied.

"Lord Baron!" William walked up to Baron Comos and said hello.

"Oh, it's Baron William! Can I help you? Baron Comos's face was slightly complicated, looking at William, who had become a baron.

"That's right, it's a little hard to say, I want to put my previous Caiyi Stream Village and Orchard Village into my territory, after all, it took too much effort on my part, but don't worry, I'll exchange another village with you!" William said.

"No problem, Baron William, I can give you the Stream Village and the Orchard Village as a gift for your promotion!" "Thank you so much! Thank you very much, Baron Comos! William did not refuse, after all, it would be good to have one more village.

Valoran, who was behind Baron Comos, looked at William with a complicated face, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, William was not a person who took advantage of the danger and said: "Sir Valoran, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have become more heroic!" ”

Valoran nodded, he didn't expect that he was really no longer the poor knight, and he was still a little knight, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a touch of bitterness in his heart.

"Your daughter, Lord Baron, Lady Wella, I ...... If I could, I would like to marry you! William said with a little apprehension, he believed that Baron Comos would not refuse him, and it would be very beneficial for him to be a noble man of the same title.

"Oh, of course, I don't object, but I beg your pardon, I'm going to ask my daughter's opinion." Baron Comos didn't agree right away.

William couldn't force it, so he had to nod his head in agreement, but he couldn't wait for him to marry him.

The patrol sent by the Count failed to find Chief Mutus, but three days later, Mutus's messenger arrived at the castle and said that he was going to negotiate with the Count.

The better the place for negotiation, the earl took a group of nobles and dozens of knights to the agreed place to prepare to negotiate with the other party.

William, as the new earl, was of course also in the negotiation sequence.

Chief Mutus gathered a large number of remnants of his army during these three days, and at a glance it appears that at least 3,000 men were active in the new camp.

A group of people walked to the agreed junction between the two parties, where Chief Mutus had already prepared everything.

The people on both sides sat on opposite sides of the negotiating table, and the Count did not speak first, he wanted to grasp the rhythm of the negotiation in his hands, after all, he was the victorious side.

The two sides were silent for a while, and Chief Mutus knew the reason, so he spoke first, and the interpreter on one side said in Lorord: "We had a war due to a misunderstanding, and I deeply regret this, and since the tragedy has been caused, we have no reason to let both sides lose more soldiers, so I have decided to end this war, and the two sides will reconcile without accountability." ”

"Poof!" As soon as the words fell, Viscount Winston couldn't hold back and suddenly became smaller, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it, it's so funny, hahaha!" ”

William looked at the laughing Viscount Winston, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while, the world owes him an Oscar, he simply performed the script to the fullest, there is no meaning flaw, if William didn't know that it was rehearsed, he might have to believe it.

Mutus looked at Viscount Winston and didn't know why, and after asking the interpreter next to him, he was furious, cursing in their language, and after the translation, the nobles on the earl's side were also furious, and they all drew their long swords, and the chief ministers of the Chekel people also pulled out the scimitar on their waists, and William also cooperated, and the scene was tense for a while.

After a while, Chief Mutus was the first to speak out to stop them, after all, the current situation was not in their favor, and the people on both sides sat back in their chairs.

The earl, who had been watching coldly, spoke: "Chief Mutus, let's make it clear directly, as the defeated of this war, you need to cede a piece of grassland, just, Crells grassland, and corgid grassland, as well as 50,000 sheep, 5,000 cattle, 2,000 war horses, 100,000 silver coins, achievements give, if it doesn't work, we will fight again!" ”

The Earl was tough this time, and he was very confident in defeating the enemy, because his hole cards were far more powerful than the opponent.

And Mutus plundered and failed to defeat the war, and he suddenly gave up the initiative after a defeat, believing that he would regret his death at this moment.
