Chapter 17: Fame (Seeking Follow-up)

After the atmosphere cooled down somewhat, Chels clapped his palms and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Only to hear his deep voice say: "Gentlemen, in addition to celebrating this great victory, I would like to announce the latest position adjustment at today's banquet. ”

Everyone at the banquet suddenly became silent, and their eyes were focused on a piece of parchment in the viscount's hand, expectation, apprehension, and resentment...... And so on.

Ryan was also interested, and he was also curious about what his appointment was, and it would be nice if he could be more relaxed.

Chels didn't sell it either, and read it in parallel: "The commander of the first battalion, Baron Chris." The First Brigade ......

The second and third battalions remained unchanged, and the fourth battalion consisted of ......

The fifth battalion consisted of Ryan. Thunder. Sir Black served as commander. The first brigade was led by Allen. Davis Knight as commander, 2nd Brigade ......"

Ryan was dumbfounded, glanced in the direction of Baron Holden, and sure enough, he found that the other party was looking at him with hatred, like a cold poisonous snake.

He couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, okay, the source of hatred was found, it turned out that he had parachuted into his position, no wonder people came up with yin and yang.

The scene immediately began to discuss, and those who had contact with Ryan also focused their eyes on him, wondering what was so good about him.

You must know that there are only seven battalions in the entire legion, all of which are commanded by barons or powerful knights, and I don't know why this Ryan was able to grab Houghton's position at such a young age.

Although this battle Horton delayed the military situation and almost disrupted the deployment of Chels, there was no need to find such a young man to humiliate him, right?

"Is it the Viscount's illegitimate son?"

"It is also possible that the descendants of the big family came to gild."

……

Listening to the more and more outrageous speculations, Chels's face darkened, and he exclaimed, "Quiet, gentlemen, your behavior is no different from that of those long-tongued women. Listen to me finish:

The commander of the 6th Battalion remained unchanged, and the 7th Battalion, due to heavy losses, was temporarily incorporated into the city defense, with Sir Eisen as the garrison officer and the adjutant as ......"

There was no reaction to these arrangements, mainly to discuss Ryan, whose identity has changed dozens of times in a short period of time.

Baron Horton became more and more angry the more he listened, and left the banquet directly, which was a serious faux pas, which showed that he was not lightly angry.

Lane's face was also unusually exciting, he originally wanted to fish in a quiet position, but who knew that he directly led a main battalion, which he could run away from fighting?

Chels pulled the self-contained Ryan to his side, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said, "Stop speculating, gentlemen. Sir Lane's assumption of this position was entirely based on merit and was in full compliance with the laws of the Kingdom. ”

It's okay not to explain, but as soon as it is explained, it will blow up, and for a while many people will be unbalanced. Grandma, I never saw this kid when I was charging, why did he have such a high merit, where did this make the faces of so many people present go?

"Your Excellency, is this Sir Ryan so young to have such a high level of merit, you can't be deceived by him." A stout, black-faced knight stood up and asked.

He was the commander of a cavalry brigade, and he contributed a lot in this battle, and originally thought that this adjustment would allow him to move upwards, but only one city defense adjutant was fished.

Rayne's airborne behavior issued his own protest.

Chels showed a deep smile, raised Ryan's hand and said, "Sir Ryan, in the previous great retreat, he and the Alan knight gathered the rout, and encountered the enemy's main general, Viscount Cather, halfway.

At the end of the battle, Sir Lane killed two knights and one magician, annihilated nearly 300 enemy troops, and killed Cather. Bourman! Such feats, gentlemen, are they qualified! ”

The whole banquet was silent for a moment, and only the voice of Chels echoed, which was deafening.

"Kill...... Cather. Bourman? ”

"No wonder the intelligence said that Cather was not in the barracks, it turned out that he was killed by Ser Lane!"

……

For a while, Ryan became the focus of the audience, and it is believed that it will not be long before his deeds and name will spread throughout the battlefield.

After all, in the three years since the start of the war, there have been only a handful of records in killing or capturing characters of Cather's status, even if it is in the battle report presented to the royal capital, it must be the status of the front page!

Even the marshal will remember his name.

In contrast, the two knights and the mage are not worth mentioning, and killing Cather alone will give Ryan a good barony's land.

……

By the time Ryan staggered out of the banquet, there were already five knights and two barons who had expressed their willingness to marry.

With Chels's hints in front, he didn't dare to listen to these people's proposals at all, and directly refused.

No matter how great his feats are, Lane can only live if Chels is satisfied. Otherwise, you can make Ryan unable to eat and walk around, and you can't do anything about him.

The rank of the Grand Knight is enough for Ryan to extinguish any unrealistic illusions.

Ham had been waiting outside for a long time, and after stepping onto the warhorse, Ryan's originally misty eyes instantly became sober.

"Hmph, do you still want to pour down the master with this degree of wine?" Ryan pursed his lips disdainfully, if it weren't for the fear that those people would continue to pester, deliberately pretending to be drunk, he would have been able to drink a few large bottles of wine that was not much higher than beer.

"My lord, are we now?"

Ham looked at him suspiciously, wondering why Ryan, who was half drunk and half awake, suddenly acted like no one.

"Of course it's back to my quarters, I need to do something." Ryan flicked his whip, and the horse disappeared into the night.

After returning to the barracks' quarters, Ryan sat down at his desk, expertly took out pen and ink and parchment, and began to consider the contents.

This is the letter he intends to send back, after all, he is not alone in this life, and there is a family that cares about him in a distant place.

Every quarter he writes a letter to report on his current situation, which is the first letter since the beginning of winter and the last letter of the year.

After pondering for a long time, Ryan picked up the quill and wrote the first words on the rough vellum paper by the faint candle flame......

The letter was very long, and it was written until late at night, and it took three candle changes to finish, and the final packaging was done.

Tomorrow, the letter will be brought back to the kingdom by the Kingdom's messengers, and then delivered to Lane's mother, a lengthy process that may take two to three months.

Ryan knew that there was a magic device in this world that could communicate hundreds of kilometers away, and it only took one or two hours to be received by the other party.

It's just that this device is very expensive to build, and the cost of communication is also expensive, and it is said to be powered by magic crystals. Moreover, it is used as a son and a mother, and generally only the expeditionary army or the great nobles can use it.

Chels has a sub-device that is used to transmit messages to the royal capital, thousands of kilometers and layers, and it only takes a little more than a day to go back and forth.

There's already some radio flavor in it.

It's just that this precious device is not something that Ryan can use, and even Chels is very cautious about using it, and he can't use it if he can.
