Chapter 61: Reward
Hearing that the peace treaty had been signed, the Essex nobles began to inquire about the peace treaty. When they knew that they had only been given a little bit of land in the end, everyone couldn't believe their ears.
But when King Charles stepped forward to explain the situation to everyone, and suggested that those with ideas take the opportunity to attack East Angloria, the nobles kept their mouths shut.
It is already a miracle to be able to win this war, and to want to attack again is tantamount to wishful thinking, but most people are refined egoistic, so they want to get more.
When King Charles spoke, they gave up on these unrealistic ideas.
"I'm glad that you've done everything you can in this war. The rewards I mentioned before will not be small, but we will still reward you according to the level of merit. If there is anyone who thinks that they have made a great achievement, they can bring it up, and I will consider it at my discretion."
King Charles's words made the nobles look at each other, and everyone present was a human spirit, how could they not hear the meaning of His Majesty's words. Seeing that no one stood up, King Charles nodded with satisfaction, he already had a candidate in his heart, and when he discussed with the Earl of Morlore, the two sides hit it off.
"Knight Aven, please step forward."
Hearing this, Evan glanced at Count Morol not far away, not knowing what they were going to do, could it be that they wanted to create gods? Seeing Evan half-kneeling in front of him, King Charles felt very happy and glad that in this war, the young man in front of him played a huge role, and it can be said that he single-handedly changed the entire war.
Thinking of this, King Charles was also a little unhappy. Such a talent is not in his own jurisdiction, but let the old guy from Morol take the lead. Thinking of this, King Charles had a whim, or try Aven's reaction himself.
"Knight Aven, you have shown remarkable ability in this war, defeating several enemy units and storming Sika Castle, forcing the enemy to divide his forces several times, laying the foundation for the final victory.
I think you've achieved more than anyone else, so as was customary before the fight, I'll keep all my promises."
Deliver on all promises...... Aven looked dazed, what promised King Charles before the war, he didn't listen carefully at that time, just thinking about other things, and now no one told him.
On the contrary, it was the Earl of Morlore in the audience who remembered that King Charles had said that he would marry the daughter of the royal family to the most meritorious subordinate.
The Count of Morol looked thoughtfully at his old friend, who had not told himself in advance, but rather as if it were a prank of his old friend.
He looked at Evan with confidence, the latter was very outstanding in both character and ability, and Evan and Delores also liked each other, and there would not be the scene that King Charles expected.
"First of all, I will promote you from knight to baron, from now on, you will be the youngest baron in our Kingdom of Essex, and the future of the kingdom needs young people like you. Secondly, I will reward you with enough money and food, and of course what you promised me before, it must also start on time. In the end, according to the agreement, I will marry you a daughter of the royal family. The above is the reward for you, what do you think?"
The other nobles fell into deep thought, and the other conditions were okay, the key was that the condition of marriage with the royal family was too tempting. As long as you have a marriage relationship with the royal family, it means that you can be unscrupulous in the kingdom, after all, no one wants to offend such a person.
"Your Majesty, I can accept everything else, but I can't agree to the marriage. As a knight, I must be realistic, and I have agreed to marry Miss Delores, the daughter of the Count of Morlor, so it is impossible to marry the royal family under any circumstances."
In the hall, a group of nobles were dumbfounded, and they looked like they were ghosts. No one thought that Evan would directly refuse King Charles's marriage, and he used such a straightforward reason. A thought flashed in the hearts of many people, could it be that this person is a fool, and he doesn't want such good capital?
Hahahaha...... Count Morol couldn't help but laugh, to be honest, at first, he was still very worried. The condition of marrying the royal family, no matter how stupid people are, knows the meaning very well, let alone Aven.
The ability shown by the latter, even in the royal family, is second to none, and those with a little ambition have long agreed.
However, the person who answered the question was Aven, who really refused, and told King Charles bluntly that he was already engaged, and you could die. Count Morol nodded with satisfaction, worthy of the man his daughter fancied.
King Charles glared at Morol, who was smiling, although he still had some regret in his heart, he was also relieved for a while.
Aiwen's performance is impeccable, and in the future, even if he is not a member of the royal family, he is a trustworthy person in the kingdom, allowing him to use his abilities to the fullest, at least he will not betray the kingdom.
"Since you gave up the opportunity to marry, then I will give you some more money and food as compensation."
King Charles jokingly said,
"Then I'll give this opportunity to someone else."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding."
After Evan finished speaking, he stepped aside with a serious expression. He didn't pay attention to this kind of farce at all, and what made him feel that he needed to take it seriously was what happened after he went back.
This time, so many people were brought out, but in the end, only so few people made it back alive. How to care for them, how to take care of their families, how to make them remembered by all.
After dealing with this, the Snapdragon army had to be reformed, which cost thousands of dollars and an unknown amount of food. However, Evan did not have much hope for this.
In the previous analysis, he estimated that the entire Essex Kingdom would only be able to form a Snapdragon army of one or two hundred people at most, and it would be impossible to do more.
Maybe at the beginning, you can still catch your opponent off guard and win the battle, but once you react later, the advantage of the Snapdragon Army will be greatly reduced.
Especially in the face of the Kingdom of Mercia and the Kingdom of Wessex, these big countries have room for error, and even if they lose the battle for the first time, they can't directly destroy them in one go.
As long as the external environment changes, or they understand and find the combat methods of the Snapdragon Army, they can completely crush the Essex Kingdom with national strength.
Evan shook his head and threw these thoughts out of his mind, as King Charles and Count Morloll said, the Kingdom of Essex is too weak, so weak that many times, there is no way to think so much, you can only take one step at a time.
"Let's go, Aven, don't be stunned."
Count Morlor's words brought Evan back to his senses, and it turned out that he didn't know when, the reward had ended, King Charles had left the hall, and only the nobles were left chatting and drinking with each other to celebrate the victory.
"In the future, we still have a lot of things to do, and some of them are busy......
"Yes, Lord Earl......
