"Shumu Suzaku, you are now officially awarded the rank of sergeant and the title of Knight Marquis."

When Barrett finished announcing the news, everyone around him showed shocked expressions, especially the pure-blood members led by Jeremia, who were even more ashamed.

Although the knightly marquis is the lowest title in Brittany, not hereditary and looked down upon by the real nobility, it is the highest title that a soldier can obtain under ordinary circumstances.

Even if he was discovered by Dr. Lloyd and became Lancelot's pilot, he was only an honorary Bretonian, and his military rank was the highest rank of private that an honorary Bretonian could reach.

Now not only has he been promoted by leapfrogging, but he has also been rewarded by the knight marquis.

Although General Bartlet had always been dismissive of the Bretanians, he had gained His Highness's appreciation through his indisputable merit.

As far as the matter is concerned, if it weren't for the Shumu Suzaku and the Lancelot he drove, I'm afraid that in this war, the emperor would not be able to keep even the most basic decency.

Looking at the people of District 11 in front of him with a complicated expression, Bartley admonished seriously, "This is a gift from Your Highness, and you will repay Your Highness with your loyalty in the future." ”

“。” Suzaku lowered his head and respectfully accepted the honor, even now, he himself even had a somewhat unreal dreaminess.

If it was true that he had escaped death from the battlefield and became the driver of Lancelot, then this time the reward was simply Lady Luck descending on his head.

In this army with extremely serious racial discrimination, it is indeed very difficult to receive such a reward.

The pure-blood people who were called to "watch the ceremony" on the side had very wonderful faces, and Jeremiah's clenched fists made unwilling sounds.

"Is this a warning from His Highness to us, Jeremia Thanh?" Chuwell, the number two of the purebloods, asked in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid so." Knowing his own affairs, Jeremia knew very well that their gaffe on the battlefield might disappoint His Royal Highness.

"What to do with that honorary Bretonian?" It was Veretta, one of the leaders of the pure-blood faction, who was eager for the title and had joined Jeremia's pure-blood faction, and now she was probably the one with the most complicated feelings when she saw the reward from Suzaku Juki.

Jeremiah closed his eyes and calmed down before he opened them again and said, "It is enough to keep a normal level of attention to him, and now our focus should be on the suppression of the resistance. ”

“zro。” The title, which could almost be labeled as a pure-blood disgrace, came out of Chuwell's mouth, causing Jeremia's brow to furrow.

This self-proclaimed ZRO guy almost single-handedly completely destroyed the strong image that the pure-blood faction had established for so many years, and used the defeat of the pure-blood faction as the foundation of his life, and became the second resistance force in District 11 after the Liberation Front.

"Received reports from informants that several underground resistance groups in Area 11 have been contacted by ZRO and seem to be plotting something." Veretta, who was in charge of intelligence, whispered.

"Keep an eye on him, we must catch him, only in this way can we wash away the shame on us!"

"Understood."

Not to mention the people in the military department on this side, Takeya and CC, who were the princes over there, had already driven to Ashford's house, and on the way, he also received a contact from the prime minister and brother Shunezel.

"Thank you so much, Clovis, as the governor of District 11, your military exploits are the most important." On the other side of the screen, Prime Minister Shunazel was thanking Takeya in a gentle tone.

"Don't mind, this is what he deserves, but I, I should thank you for being able to provide me with such powerful subordinates." Takeya responded pretending not to care.

Shuki Suzaku became Lancelot's driver, which was equivalent to joining the special commission of Shunezel, and this time the promotion of rank and title could be regarded as a deal between the two.

Schunezel's gaze shifted slightly to Takeya's side, but it was just a curious glance, he quickly straightened his posture again, and said softly, "Regarding what you just said, the Ashford family, I will arrange it as soon as possible." ”

The Ashford family's title is in jeopardy, because they have no power in the army, so they can only rely on administrative means to keep their title, and this path will eventually detour to the Imperial Chancellor Hunesel.

Wu is also willing to help with the promotion of Shumu Suzaku, and a large part of the reason is this.

"Then thank you Brother Huang."

"It doesn't have to be so, it's just a gesture for me, it's just—" Schunezel's eyes lit up with inquiry, "why is he suddenly interested in Ashford?" ”

"Isn't the third generation of khtar geminid the most valuable reason?" Wu also said with a smile.

After listening to his brother's answer, Schunezel didn't speak, and he knew the value of the Ashford family, but the change in his brother was what he cared about the most.

Compared to what Takeya was doing now, Shonezel was more curious about the reasons that drove him to do so, and a prince of art suddenly became interested in military affairs, which was not a change that could be explained by common sense.

It's just that this complicated thought was all hidden in his eyes in a short moment, and Honezel pretended not to care about another matter, "Speaking of which, Cornelia will be in Area 11 in a few days." ”

"Yes." Three days later, to be exact.

"This year's Kawaguchiko meeting (Sakuraishi) allocation bill is also a headache, and I really hope that the 11th ward will settle down as soon as possible."

Sakuraite is the main source of energy for the body, and the 11 largest producers account for 70% of the world's total production, most of which is around Mt. Fuji.

One of the main reasons for the invasion of the 11th region by Bretania was to embezzle this resource, and every year after the occupation, a meeting of the producer countries was held at the mouth of the 11th area to determine the amount to be allocated to each country.

If District 11 can be stabilized, the empire will have more chips at its disposal in terms of allocation.

But when he mentions this, he is obviously not urging Clovis to put down the riot as soon as possible, but he is mentioning another matter that seems insignificant in comparison: "The appointment of the Governor's Auxiliary Officer of the 11th District was arranged the other day. ”

"Adjutanté? Who is it? Wu was also stunned, during the reign of Clovis, because he was the prince of real power, the empire did not assign him a deputy governor or an assistant to the governor, and the entire 11 districts were like his independent kingdom.

However, by recommending Cornelia to become the vice-governor, the nobles of the empire also saw Clovis's thoughts, so it is very likely that this vacant position will be filled, and the person who will be appointed must belong to the Cornelia line.

Who could it be, her right-hand man, Dalton? Or is it her exclusive knight, the Kilford known as the Imperial Spear? Or was it the Knights of the Ninth Round Table of the Empire, Nonet Aenyagulam, who had a good personal relationship with her?

It's just that the answer given by Shunezel is something that Wu has never thought of.

"It's Euphemia."

"Is the imperial sister serious?" The corners of Takeya's mouth twitched, delusional, he seemed to be overwhelmed by a bunch of vibrant pink BB bombs the moment he heard the name.

"By the time Cornelia knew about it, the appointment had already been approved."
