The Qinwang conference was still held for three more days, and when Higg returned to his residence, he always felt strange in his heart, and the sudden two wills surprised Higg. The first is the father's reward, the first-class duke is the highest title in the Alasia Empire except for Her Majesty the Queen, the queen herself is the king, it is impossible to give a title like a prince, this reward Higg never thought of it! The second will also surprised Higg, he came to the King of Qin conference this time, and he was determined to win the position of marshal of the Fifth Legion, but Catherine unexpectedly did not set up the position of marshal in the Fifth Legion, whether it was out of vigilance against himself, or for some other reason, Higg did not know!

"Why do you care why she did that? And here we go! Lan Xian'er smiled, "The status of the Earl of Fuxing is a great thing for you and for Fuxing City. For a long time, your identity has been self-appointed, city lord, general, marshal, which title was not given to you by yourself? Now that you have earned an official title, it is self-evident that it will be beneficial to the development of Fuxing City and to your control of the Fifth Legion! As for the post of marshal of the Fifth Army, whether there is it or not, and how much does it matter? Catherine dared to take your military power at this time? ”

"I just feel awkward!" Higg smiled, "I understand all these benefits, but this time I came to Zhuoerma City, I didn't seem to get anything, the marshal was not sealed, and the identity of an earl was also inherited from my father, which is simply too embarrassing!" ”

"Your Majesty's decree, Xige and Lan Xian'er take the decree!" A voice shouted outside the door.

"So fast?" Higg and Blue Fairy were also shocked.

After changing their clothes and tidying up a little, Higg and Blue Fairy hurried to the living room, and Higg found that it was Skleller, the chief administrator of the palace, who had delivered the decree.

Szklee opened the golden scroll and read: "Your Majesty's decree is to posthumously crown Marshal Michael Alexander as a first-class duke, and the fief Fuxing City, the duke's son Hig Alexander will inherit as an earl, and the fief will remain unchanged, and the blue fairy Alexander will be named the second-class lady!" ”

Xige and Lan Xian'er immediately received the order of thanks, and then the maids behind them carried all the documents, seals, official uniforms and other items, while Lan Xian'er was busy distributing gold bags.

Higg invited Sklea to the tea party, and Szalla smiled and said, "Congratulations to the Earl and the Countess!" I've heard that it's not easy to get into the Earl's house, and if I don't come to deliver the decree, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in! ”

Higg smiled: "The Lord of Labor personally passed the decree!" The chief steward laughed, the chief steward has arrived at the mansion, and it is too late for me to welcome, not only the mansion, but also my fiefdom Fuxing City, there will definitely be a place for the chief steward! ”

Sklell took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is afraid that the Earl will misunderstand, so let me personally deliver the decree!" The Earl has made a splash in Fuxing City, erected a statue of the god of war, and invited people from all walks of life from all over the world to participate in the unveiling! Does the Earl know that the discussion in the court says that the Earl does not respect His Majesty and keeps a private statue, I don't know where to put His Majesty, or to separate Erathia? ”

Higg was shocked, got up and said, "Lord Steward, since I left Fuxing City, I have been loyal to Your Majesty, and I have fully supported Your Majesty's great cause of recovery. Please also ask Your Majesty and the Governor to discern it! ”

"How could Your Majesty not know the Earl's loyalty?" "However, Your Majesty can't stop the world's mouth from spreading falsehoods!" Therefore, this posthumously named Marshal Michael as a first-class duke, it is precisely to make the earl feel at ease, and the matter of the statue of the god of war is clear and smooth, and I hope that the earl can understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts! ”

Xige breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty has thought carefully for Weichen, and Weichen is grateful!" ”

Sklell continued: "Your Majesty is very entangled in the position of Marshal of the Fifth Legion, and the discussion of the ministers of the court and the central government is that you are too young, too young, too young, and have never been truly canonized and appointed by the imperial court, and you are jumping too fast at once, which makes people unconvinced!" In fact, according to your merits and the status of an earl, Your Majesty can completely override public opinion, and there is no doubt at all about taking the position of marshal! But your father, Marshal Michael, became a marshal before he was thirty years old, and he was young and vigorous, and finally died on the battlefield. His Majesty's memory is still fresh and he doesn't want the Earl to follow in his footsteps, so although His Majesty does not appoint the Earl as the Marshal of the Fifth Legion, he still hands over the military power to the Earl, which shows His Majesty's trust in the Earl, and hopes that the Earl will not disappoint His Majesty's heart! ”

Xige sighed: "How can Weichen be virtuous, let His Majesty do his best, and think about Weichen everywhere, it really makes Weichen panic!" ”

Sclerew continued: "The Qinwang Conference is not over, the Earl is busy with official business, Your Majesty asked the old minister to convey it, the Earl does not have to go to the palace in person to thank you, just let the Countess do it for you!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is considerate! Thank you, Mr. Steward, for your work! ”

Lan Xian'er personally selected a gift and brought it up, but saw that Sklee smiled and said: "These worldly things are not necessary, if the Earl and the Lady have the heart, leave me a place to live in Fuxing City, and after I retire, I can also go to see the fief of the first-class duke and meet the magic mage, haha!" ”

……

In the next few days, the Qinwang Conference was still going on as scheduled, and the focus was naturally on the topic of recovery.

However, Higg's residence is constantly crowded, with admiring visits, friendships, courtesy, and courtesy exchanges...... There are everyone, and some people have to give face, so they have no choice but to ask Lan Xian'er and Shante to help deal with it on the grounds that they are busy with official business.

often walks in the rivers and lakes, how can you not be knifed? Although Higg didn't want to get too involved in politics, he was already in the game, and he had unknowingly begun to get involved in the whole huge whirlpool.

Before leaving, Higg and Blue Fairy and Shante also had to bid farewell to Catherine according to etiquette, under normal circumstances, the queen would let Tacture refuse such an interview, but this time, Catherine actually met Higg and Blue Fairy and Shante again, which was indeed a big surprise.

"It's really an honor for Weichen to see His Majesty before leaving!" Higg said after seeing the salute.

"You are different from other generals, your Fifth Legion is on the periphery, and this king can't help you!" Catherine said, "To put it mildly, the war is so tense that it's hard to say whether we can see each other again!" When I see you this time, I also ask you to convey the king's high praise for the loyal defense of the country and the unswerving spirit of all the officers and men of the Fifth Legion! Under such difficult conditions, the Empire's material supply and military replenishment will not be able to give you any help, but this king believes that you will continue to hold out until the final victory! ”

"Your Majesty Xie's concern for the officers and soldiers of our Fifth Legion, I will definitely solemnly convey it!" Higg said, "Wechen also wants to listen to His Majesty's teachings sooner or later, but now the mountains and rivers are broken and need to be reorganized, and the soldiers in front are still working hard, plus it is almost summer, the winter snow in the north has completely melted, and the spring flood is about to pass, and the war is about to break out, Wechen refuses to slack off, so he has to come to His Majesty to resign, go to the front, and complete the king's order as soon as possible!" ”

Catherine continued, "Your station is too far away for the king's order to be communicated, so the king has granted the Earl of Higg the power to behead first and then play, and any forces that do not submit to the king, including thieves in the name of the Volunteers, can be dealt with first and then reported!" ”

This is the power that Higg has always dreamed of, and he can now justifiably do whatever he wants. Higg hurriedly said, "Your Majesty treats Weichen so kindly, even if Weichen is full of liver and brains, it will be difficult to serve Your Majesty!" ”

"Count Higg, this king agrees with what you said about active defense at the conference!" Catherine said with a smile, "But active defense requires a very high quality of the army, and it is difficult for this king to achieve it in the short term, how did you do it at that time?" ”

"The Fifth Army was forced, forced to move from passive defense to active defense!" Higg said, "The quality of the Fifth Legion army is not as high as His Majesty imagined, but at that time, there was a line between life and death, and only this way out could survive, so everyone could burst out of the survival instinct and work together to tide over the difficulties, but the damage of that expedition was still very high!" ”

Catherine asked, "Count Higg, what do you think of the quality of this king's guard battalion, and can it meet the conditions?" ”

Higg was surprised: "Your Majesty wants to let the guard battalion go on the expedition?" ”

"What's not to do?" Catherine said, "Like you said, forced out! These tens of thousands of people are the elite of Aracya, and now the battle situation is so tense, if you don't put it in, when will this king recover! ”

"Wechen is really uneasy, and he actually let His Majesty use his own guards, and Wechen is embarrassed!" Higg said.

"I don't have to say that!" Catherine said, "Tell the king, if you send a part of the guard battalion to the battle, will you be able to do so?" Where to go? ”

Higg was sweating profusely and said, "Of course you can! If you must go on an expedition, the best place to choose is Aradd's lair, the former fiefdom of Arad, and the current Camillo Province where the base camp of the Fifth War Zone is located. ”

Catherine was intrigued: "Tell me what you think!" ”

"Camillo Province is Arad's big rear, and the reason why Arad has not used too much of the strength of the Fifth War Zone from beginning to end is probably because he needs to leave himself a way back, that is, even if he loses in the civil war, he can use the forces of the Fifth War Zone around Camillo Province to follow His Majesty's current bias and continue to compete with His Majesty. As I said at the General Assembly, we have to find a way to do whatever is detrimental to Arad. Doesn't Arad think his big rear is solid? Then mess them up! ”

Catherine asked suspiciously, "However, to reach Camillo Province, you need to go through many blockades, even if I only send a part of the guard battalion, even if one or two thousand people can pass through the blockade, how can such a big target be able to maneuver around Camillo Province?" ”

Higg smiled: "Your Majesty, there is still a big force in Zhuoerma City, and Your Majesty has not used it yet!" ”

Catherine was surprised and said, "The Pope? ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Higg said, "As far as I know, the religious environment around Camillo is complex, and there are many gods of faith, so why can't His Majesty's guard camp cooperate with the Pope?" Forming a crusade in the name of the Pope and crusading in the name of exterminating the infidels, even if Arad knows that it is Your Majesty's army, he will have some scruples, after all, there are many believers in his army! What's more, entering the province of Camillo in such a name will also get the support and secret help of many believers! ”

"The Pope has said that he will not interfere in the civil war, will he agree to do so?" Catherine wondered.

"It is the Pope's duty to exterminate the infidels, and what reason does he have to disagree?" Higg said, "Your Majesty offered to cooperate with the Pope and provide him with an army to destroy the infidels, and he simply asked for it!" ”

"Extermination of the infidels, crusades?" Catherine thought quickly, this is indeed a good topic, disturbing Arad's rear, and by the way, pulling the Pope into the water, getting involved in the civil war in Aracia, and standing on her side, it is simply killing multiple birds with one stone, "This matter is not urgent, this king will discuss with the Pope slowly first!" ”

"Of course not!" Higg said, "Your Majesty had better let the Pope's religious forces infiltrate first, secretly establish an intelligence system in Camillo Province, and the most important thing to go behind enemy lines is to keep abreast of your own situation at all times, without timely and accurate intelligence support, sooner or later you will suffer huge losses or even failure." ”

"Count Higg, I regret giving you Shante now!" Catherine said with a smile, "This king only lent Shante to you for a year or two, you have to train him to be a real commander of the army, and when he has made military merits, the Pope has also established an intelligence network, and this king will let General Shante lead the army to the east!" ”

"Your Majesty means that I will use Shante to death, right?" Higg said with a smile as he faced Shante.

"Bring the stuff up!" Catherine shouted.

I saw two maids each holding a tray, and two other maids carrying a large object, and came to Catherine.

"Since you have given this king a gift, of course this king can't be stingy!" Catherine said, "Count Higg, I know you are not short of money, so I will not give you anything like gold or silver. This first gift was the Crown of Wisdom, which the Earl of Higg, since he was also a magician, would have used it; The second is an angel necklace, which is perfect for the Countess; The third is the mad demon shield, Shante, you represent the king's guard camp, this gift is for you! ”

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable! These gifts are too heavy! Xige and the others hurriedly said, the value of the Crown of Wisdom and the Mad Demon Shield can be seen by a discerning person, the angel necklace is beautifully made, and the blue light is shining, although I don't know what the specific value is, but it must be no less than the other two treasures.

"This king can't help the Fifth Legion, it's all up to you!" Catherine said, "Consider it my supply to the Fifth Legion!" ”

"Your Majesty, this ......"

"Count Higg, if you say one more word, be careful that Your Majesty really takes back these three treasures! Hahaha! Skleller on the side smiled wickedly and said loudly.

"Then Weichen will be grateful for the insensitive!" Higg and the others hurriedly knelt down in embarrassment.
