Chapter 193: On Meritorious Deeds
Defeating the Wizards of the Kingdom of Lorraine and completely crippling them was a brilliant feat that made Archduke William and Captain McShouner unbelievable when they received the news afterwards. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info thought that he had taken Leo's abilities very seriously, but he didn't expect Leo to do something they didn't expect again.
Leo was also very satisfied with this result, not only because he successfully removed the threat from the magician group, but most importantly, he also got an unexpected surprise: a legendary heroic magician Merlin.
Of course, there is also a team of Teutonic knights who have lost their mounts, although the knights who have lost their mounts can only pose as hoplites, but the medical knowledge of the Teutonic knights is also very valuable, and in this continent that relies entirely on magical healing, the medical skills of a team of doctors are enough to shock the Varu Empire, a country with an underdeveloped magical civilization.
In the battle against the mage's group, Leo also gained a large number of god pleasure points, each mage brought at least five times more god pleasure than ordinary soldiers, and Leo's god pleasure value finally climbed to 2,000 points again.
Another thing that Leo is very concerned about is the new type of summoned legion, what the hell is the fantasy legion?
After Leo's persistent questioning, the Arena of the Gods finally gave an explanation: every time Leo killed a supernatural creature, the corresponding legion statue would be added to the Arena of the Gods, and the ability to summon the corresponding legion would be obtained. Depending on the clan's abilities, the Gods' Pleasure required for its specific summoning will also increase.
Seeing this prompt, Leo's eyes lit up, and he then asked, "Then if I defeat the mage group, will I also unlock the corresponding mage legion?"
This time, the Arena of the Gods gave a quick hint that the Legion of Mages had joined the Legion draw.
The subtext is obviously that it depends on your luck if you can summon. Leo didn't mind this, of course, even if Leo minded, there was no way, the gods wouldn't pay attention to his opinion at all, after all, for the gods, Leo was just a spokesperson, a game pawn.
After defeating the mage, the Kingdom of Lorraine temporarily lost the ability to threaten the three southern provinces of the Varu Empire again, and the loss of a mage group could also be said to be unbearable pain for the Kingdom of Lorraine.
The great victory in the south once again inspired the people of the Varu Empire, and the new emperor won many victories at the beginning of his establishment, which really represented a good omen for the prosperity of the empire, and for a while with Leo to calm the power of the south, a series of decrees of the new Emperor Gavin XIII were accepted by the people of the empire very smoothly, and these decrees to clean up corruption, crack down on corrupt officials, and improve the efficiency of officials also made the Waru Empire look new inside and outside, and the Varu Empire, which was already on the verge of death, was once again full of vitality.
The feats of quelling the southern rebellion, retaking the three southern provinces, and defeating the invasion of neighboring countries also gave the Senate a headache to the Nathaniel senators. According to the merit awards, these are enough to make Leo even a few levels, but before Gavin XIII had already awarded him the title of earl, if he was promoted to a marquis and duke, there had never been such a young marquis or duke in the history of the empire, this was the first time in the world.
In fact, if it's just a title, it's just a big deal, it's just a part of the annual knighthood and a lot of money, which is nothing for a huge empire, just the loss saved by disposing of those corrupt officials is enough to make the empire's funds sufficient. However, the corresponding title is a fief, and according to the practice of rewarding nobles in the Varu Empire, the fief of a marquis is counted in cities, while the dukes are counted in provinces.
Although there were many vacant fiefs in the empire after taking over the rebellious nobles of the Hou Party, the reason why the elders of the empire did not want to give rewards to Leo was that Duke Solo brought his doubts about Leo to the table and informed the loyal elders of the empire. The royalist patriarchs, who had finally won a political victory, naturally did not want to see any more existence that could threaten the royal family, so Nathaniel postponed Leo's reward again and again.
Although his EQ was not very high when communicating with people, the new Emperor Gavin XIII, whose IQ level was significantly higher than that of ordinary people, was extremely keenly aware of this, and the old ministers seemed to have a trace of suspicion and hostility towards Leo, a discovery that greatly displeased Gavin XIII.
"Your Excellency the Chief Senator, has the corresponding reward for the meritorious person who pacified the south been discussed?" asked Gavin XIII quietly at a government court.
"This ......" Patriarch Nathaniel replied after a moment's hesitation: "Your Majesty, the rewards of the heroes have been prepared, according to the military merits, the Grizzly Legion's Captain McShouner and his officers and soldiers at all levels under his command have corresponding bounties and ranks, but what to do with the William of the original Wagner family still needs to be decided by Your Majesty." ā
"William...... Calvin XIII pondered for a while, and after thinking about it, he decided: "The Wagner family has been loyal for generations, although this rebellion is due to the misdeeds of the Imperial Hou Party, and the Southern Grand Duke is to sweep away the rotten nobles of the Hou Party, but the rebellion is a rebellion in the end, meritorious service will be rewarded, and there will be punishment!"
Just when a group of high-ranking officials and nobles thought that the new emperor was going to take the southern sword, Gavin XIII's words changed: "However, William was able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light in time, and played an important role in the battle to pacify the south, so let's offset the merits for the time being! The three southern provinces are still the territory of the Wagner family, but we must send someone to warn William that he must maintain loyalty and reverence to the empire! Also, the old Grand Duke Wagner, who has been imprisoned in the imperial capital, should also be released back to the south, and the matter is over, so he will no longer be left in the imperial capital to waste food." ā
"Your Majesty's generosity and benevolence is really an honor for the Wagner family in the south, presumably after this incident, the Wagner family will definitely be more loyal to the empire!" As a close friend of the former emperor, the old Grand Duke Wagner also has a wide range of connections in the imperial capital, and as soon as Gavin XIII's words came out, some ministers immediately followed up and praised him, nailing his words to death.
Gavin XIII stared at the silent Nathaniel senator: "Your Excellency the Chief Senator, as for the reward of Count Leo for the first merit this time, how did the Imperial Senate discuss?"
"This ......" Patriarch Nathaniel tilted his head slightly, glanced at Duke Solo out of the corner of his eye, and motioned for his help. Duke Solo stepped forward and received it willingly: "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Count Leo, the Imperial Supervision Department believes that there are some suspicious points in it, and it needs the cooperation of Count Leo. ā
