Dorn and the others lined up on the high platform and stood behind Jason, waiting for the moment of their honor.

"Today is a day of glory for you, a day for you to be rewarded. Jason turned to look at them and said seriously.

Although he looks like a teenager on the outside, no one will despise him.

"Thank you!" he said, looking closely at the seventeen men.

"This is to the seventeen of you, and to the thirty-three of you who are buried in the icefield. ”

This is exactly what Jason wanted to say to them, and with little preparation, a group of fifty people left their hometown under his own orders and entered the territory with an uncertain future.

In the end, only these seventeen people will come, and they deserve this thank you.

"That's what we should do, my lord!" Dorne had tears in his eyes, and he remembered his good brother who had died a tragic death.

"This is the medal I will present to you, with your names engraved on the back, you are the heroes of the Iron Fang. ”

Jason reached for a box, then opened it and read aloud the name on the back of the medal and the last name Jason had given them.

"Dorne Strawman!"

"Yes!" Dorne stepped forward and respectfully took the box with both hands, and Jason put it on his chest with his own hands.

"Darren Charles!"

"Yes!"

"Zatya Danny!"

"Yes!"

......

Before a name was seen, a hunter stepped forward, with wounds on their faces and even men on crutches.

Because it was too cold on the ice field, some wounds were left crippled before they could be treated, but it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to save their lives.

Soon the medals of seventeen men were handed down, and thirty-three boxes remained on the table, which belonged to those who had died.

"These belong to those who remained on the ice field, who died generously for their teammates, and their spirit will always shine on our warriors!"

Jason said in a low voice as he looked at the boxes.

"These medals will be collected by their families in their place, and the castle will provide for their families in the future, so that they can live in the Promised Land without worry. ”

The Northlanders believe that after death they do not dissipate and become invisible, they go to a place called Promised Land, where they can gaze at their living relatives.

There is no fighting, no sadness, just merciless happiness and joy.

Then Jason began to read the names of the men, and no one in the room spoke, they all listened quietly, even those who could not be heard in the farthest distance.

There you pricked up your ears in the hope that you might hear something too.

Only a few sobs rang out occasionally, and they were the families of these sacrificial hunters, who had received honors that they might not have gotten in their previous lives, but their own loved ones would never return.

Time passed quickly, and Jason finished all these medals in a short time, and he felt uncomfortable looking at these residents holding and sobbing with them.

But a qualified person must be hard-hearted, not ruthless, but at least hard-hearted, this road is destined to be full of blood.

It could be an enemy, it could be one's own, it could be one's friend's, it could even be one's own.

Any indecision and sentimentality will be an obstacle for Jason to get in the way, so he will have to adapt to it all.

"In addition, this expedition brought back not only a map of the land, but also valuable information, and Mr. Dorne, as the leader of the expedition, contributed a lot. ”

Finally Jason spoke again, and in the eyes of civilians, this was the real highlight.

"I've decided to give him the knighthood, and he'll own a village as a fief!" he loudly announced, this is the first nobleman to be knighted in the Iron Fang Territory, and Dorne will officially become Jason's henchman, which means a lot.

However, his title is not hereditary, which means that he will become a new nobleman with Jason's approval, but his next generation can no longer claim to be a nobleman.

This kind of title is only a little better than an honorary title in name only, and you can have your own estate, not just a name.

After a pause, Jason took a roll of parchment from Lancelot's hand, with a piece of golden-red string tied to it, and this was Dorne's letter of appointment.

With this letter of appointment issued by Jason, he is the real recognized knight, and from then on all his decisions will be responsible for Jason.

"I have decided to make Yarrow a fief for Sir Dorne, and I hope that the villagers of Yarrow will accept your Sir Dorne. ”

"It's Yarrow Village. ”

"Yes, I didn't expect the Lord to give this village to Sir Dorne as a fief. ”

"So what? Yarrow Village is no longer the Yarrow Village of a few decades ago, and now it is no different from the surrounding villages!"

"But they're still living well on the remnants of that iron mine. ”

"Hmph, this mine has been abandoned for so many years, how many remnants are there?"

"Yes, you must know that without the consent of the lord, mining without permission is a big crime!"

"Hey, be quiet, aren't you all forced by life?"

"Don't even talk about it! The little leftover ore in it is only enough for them to eat and wear, is it possible that when the harvest is bad, people are not allowed to find some ore for emergencies?"

"But next year should be a lot better. ”

"yes, yes, the damn tax rate has finally been lowered. ”

......

After hearing Jason's decision, there was an instant buzz in the square, this Yarrow village is very famous on the side of the Iron Fang, mainly because some ordinary townspeople are close to the mine, and they can often sneak in to mine.

Although the iron tooth iron mine has been abandoned for a long time, it does not mean that there is no mine in it, but the few remaining mines are no longer suitable for large-scale mining with a lot of manpower and material resources, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses, so it was abandoned by the kingdom.

It is also dangerous to enter the mine without protection.

Some residents around the mine would sneak inside to try their luck during the bad harvest years to see if they could find some ore that could be sold to help subsidize their families.

If you're lucky, you'll find a little leftover ore in a corner, and you can exchange it for more than a dozen copper coins when you buy it, which is enough for your family's expenses for a few days.

But few people are willing to risk being caught stealing mines, unless they are really forced to do so by the hardships of life.

Fortunately, Sir Auchi wasn't interested in the remnants, otherwise they wouldn't have had the other way to live.

And Jason chose this village as Dorne's fief because the annual income of this village is not bad, it is not far from the town, and it takes less than half a day to get there on horseback, which is very suitable for Dorne's situation.

In addition, the population of this village is quite large, the size of more than two hundred people, which is also suitable for Dorne to recruit his own private guards here.

"Thank you, sir!" Dorne got to his knees excitedly, his voice shaking.

Although the reputation of the nobility in the north is not very good, but becoming a nobleman is something that every commoner dare not imagine, and Dorne can already be said to be a glorious ancestor.

Although he is not a hereditary nobleman, he only collects taxes in his fiefdom and does not have the right to rule, but as long as his next generation is not too bad and contributes to Jason's territory, it is not impossible to succeed him as the next nobleman.

"You are already a noble gentleman, and you will not have to kneel on one knee in the future. Jason said to him with a smile.

"Yes, sir. Dorn stood up, looking a little overwhelmed.

The embarrassment of a man in his forties for being a nobleman made Jason a little laughing.

"My lord, what should I do after I become a nobleman?" he blushed for a while before he said this.

"Go to your quarry first, get acquainted with your lords first, and then go back to live in the town and serve as an official in the town government. ”

"Of course, you can also build your mansion in Yarrow Village, and join my troops with your personal guards when I am in the event of war. Jason looked at him and said that it was up to Dorne's choice.

"I wish I could stay in town. Dorne thought for a moment, the town was not far from his own estate, and what could he do to get back quickly.

Jason nodded when he heard this, but did not speak, this was his own decision, he had his own plans, and he could not interfere with it.
