Chapter 82 The Baron
Memphitus, Earl's Court.
"So Sean arrived in Memphitos today? Much faster than expected."
"Yes, sir, Sir Sean arrived in Memphitos at two o'clock this afternoon."
"Walking with a dragon is really exciting."
Through the bright window, looking at the flower buds that have not yet bloomed in the garden, Asim has a gentle smile on his face.
"master."
Looking at Asim's back, the old housekeeper hesitated rarely.
"Say it."
"Yes, sir. According to the information I have collected, Sir Sean's flying dragon is 20 meters long. It is most likely to be a third-tier dragon species, and it may definitely be a fourth-tier dragon."
Hearing this, the gentle smile on Asim's face subsided unconsciously.
"If I'm not wrong, his flame flying dragon was only a second-tier dragon species not long ago."
Turning around, the broken golden pupils under Asim's pair of gold-rimmed glasses rarely showed sharpness.
Regarding this, the old housekeeper could only silently lower his head.
"Let's hurry up and prepare for the canonization ceremony."
After a moment of silence, Asim spoke again.
No matter how strong the flame flying dragon is, the most important thing right now is Sean's baronial canonization ceremony.
Three days later, a grand canonization ceremony was held in the banquet hall of the city hall. Asim Bansain, on behalf of the royal family and the House of Nobles, handed over the noble documents, baronial clothing, and noble seals to Sean.
After receiving the aristocratic papers, changing into the baron's attire, and wearing the ring-shaped aristocratic seal, from this moment Sean is the real baron of the Kingdom of Sutilt.
In the evening, before the dinner began, all the nobles of the Suterte Kingdom in the New World gathered in the House of Nobles, a total of 15 people, including 1 earl, 2 viscounts, and 12 barons.
"Everyone, today is a happy day. There is another honorable nobleman in the kingdom. First of all, let us express our sincere congratulations to Baron Sean Montell."
Looking at Sean with a gentle smile on his face, Asim, who was sitting on the main seat, clapped his hands first.
There was rhythmic applause, everyone present smiled at this moment, as if they were all happy for Sean.
"Does Baron Sean have anything to say?"
Feeling that it was almost done, he stretched out his hand to signal the applause to stop, and Asim spoke again.
Hearing this, Sean's azure blue pupils showed a hint of purple, and a faint smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth.
"I am honored to be a nobleman of the kingdom, and I also hope to make greater contributions to the development of the kingdom in the days to come."
As a qualified nobleman, being able to speak on the spot is the most basic requirement.
Hearing Xiao En's words, the smile on Asim's face became even stronger.
"Baron Sean, I believe there will be many opportunities like this in the future."
"Now let's talk about the second thing."
The smile was restrained, and at this moment Asim's face became serious, and the other nobles also behaved the same way.
Although Sean's baronial canonization ceremony was important, it was not enough to bring together all the nobles of the Surtilt Kingdom in the New World. Today they gathered here mainly for the second thing.
"Brigadier General Gris Sett, it's up to you to explain to everyone."
"Okay, my lord."
Hearing Asim's words, a heroic man dressed in aristocratic attire but exuding military temperament stood up.
Looking at the man in front of him who was blind in one eye and full of iron and blood, Xiao En narrowed his eyes.
Gris Sett, honorary baronet, commissioned for meritorious service, commodore, currently captain of the Memphitus squadron of the Storm Fleet.
"A large number of murlocs appeared in the coastal area two months ago,
In order to protect the lives and property of the people in the kingdom, the Tempest Fleet was ordered to go to sea to hunt down the murlocs. It lasted one month and wiped out more than ten murloc tribes and killed thousands of murlocs. But just as the fleet was about to return, we were attacked A large tribe of murlocs attacked and suffered heavy damage. A third-tier battleship and a fourth-tier battleship sank. "
At the end, Gris Sett's voice slowly lowered.
Hearing this, the aristocratic courtyard fell into silence. Some of the aristocrats present knew something about the situation, but they didn't expect that the Storm Fleet, the kingdom's sea sword, would suffer such a loss just to hand over some murlocs.
You must know that battleships are different from ordinary sailing ships. Even the weakest fourth-tier battleship has about 50 artillery pieces when fully loaded. This kind of firepower configuration is enough to show its strength.
Sweeping his eyes, he glanced at the silent crowd, and Asim spoke again.
"According to reliable sources, the large murloc tribe that attacked the Storm Fleet is currently absorbing the scattered small murloc tribes on a large scale. Once they complete their integration, it will definitely deal a serious blow to the kingdom's interests in the New World."
At this moment, Asim's voice was extremely low.
Hearing this, many of the nobles present have changed their faces. Although Asim did not say it clearly, they all understand that if these murlocs continue to grow and lose control, their interests will inevitably be damaged, and even their lives will be damaged. Safety may not be guaranteed either.
Sitting on the seat, not showing any signs of expression, Xiao En's eyes were faintly purple. Although he had been in contact with the murlocs for a long time and knew the news that a large number of murlocs had migrated to the shallow sea, he did not expect them to arrive so fast and so violently.
"Everyone, I hope that in order to protect the interests of the kingdom in the New World and the safety of the people, we can unite and cut off these evil murlocs together."
In the end, Asim raised the ideological realm of this matter to a higher level.
And as his words fell, several nobles immediately expressed their opinions one after another, expressing their agreement.
"Indeed."
"For the sake of the kingdom, we cannot let those murlocs go."
"I am in favor of joining forces. This is no longer a matter of one family."
Faced with such a situation, the remaining nobles had nothing to say but could only express their agreement. After all, these murlocs did threaten their interests and safety.
An agreement was reached and the meeting was successfully concluded. All that remained was to argue about the distribution of troops and supplies. This would take a certain amount of time, and it could not be done in a day or two.
"sit."
After the meeting, Asim deliberately left Sean behind and came to his office together.
"Come on, how about this red wine? It was just shipped from the old continent. I remember when you first came to the new continent, the two of us had a drink here."
With a gentle smile, Asim personally poured Sean a glass of red wine.
"Well, it's very good, and the fragrance is particularly strong."
Taking a sip lightly, with a smile on his face as well, Sean expressed his admiration.
"It's fine if you like it, but this time the operation to encircle and suppress the murlocs needs to trouble you."
Having said that, Asim lowered his voice, and his face was a bit sad.
"For the sake of the kingdom, I am obliged."
Looking at Asim, Xiao En's expression turned serious, and he spoke slowly.
"Okay, Baron Sean, I did not misread you."
With his melancholy subdued and his smile revealed, Asim raised his wine glass and touched Sean.
