Chapter 178 178 Objection

Chapter 179 179. Objection

In one sentence, everyone was shocked.

All the nobles in the hall turned their attention to the opponent, who was none other than Orson Hyde, the border Earl of Oshan Territory.

For a time, discussions arose one after another.

Viscount Marvin sneered, "Oson, your territory has no border with Wubei Territory, nor does it have any business dealings or conflicts. Why do you object?"

"Yeah, if you want to object, it's Marvin who objects. After all, the Iron Hoof Leader is next to the Wu Bei Leader."

"No, no, no!" Marvin waved his hands repeatedly, "Gehrman, don't talk nonsense. I have no objection to the canonization of the Marquis."

Hermann spread his hands and said, "Me too."

The closest territory to Wubei Territory is the territory of Marvin and Gehrman. They both said they had no objections. If others wanted to object, they would naturally have to give reasonable reasons.

Rulans remained calm, "Orson, tell me your reasons."

Everyone looked at Orson.

"Lord Marquis, as you said, Luo Ning did have a lot of contribution in rescuing Her Royal Highness the Princess, but the key to repelling the gold-level assassin is not Luo Ning himself, but the six you gave him. The magic scroll worked."

Orson slowly stated the reason for his opposition: "Luo Ning has merit, but this merit is not big enough for him to become the master of the entire Wubei Territory."

"What Count Orson said is wrong."

The speaker was Luo Ning's brother-in-law Kabir, "Although the spell scroll is powerful, it still needs the user to seize the opportunity to use it. There are many people in this world, even if they hold a powerful spell scroll in their hands, they will die. No chance to use it.”

"Kabir is right."

Wiggins has his own opinion on this matter, "The last time I was assassinated, my opponent was so fast and decisive that I didn't even have time to use the defensive spell scroll."

Orson couldn't help but glance at his son-in-law.

If it were someone else, he might think that the other person was leaning towards Luo Ning, but Wiggins was different. There was no need to understand Wiggins's words too deeply, the other party would only see what was in front of him.

However, Wiggins' words attracted the approval of other nobles.

A spell scroll is just a tool. How useful it can be depends on the person who uses it.

Blanche watched the nobles in the hall express their opinions one by one. She also wanted to say a few words for Luo Ning, but it only involved territory and title. It was not suitable for her to speak on such an occasion.

However, from her perspective, there is no problem in stating certain facts.

"Everyone's eyes are focused on the gold-level assassin, but before he took action, there were two assassins who almost killed me. If it weren't for Luo Ning, I would have fallen to the ground without the gold-level assassin taking action. In a pool of blood."

She took a deep breath. She rarely participated in such occasions, and the long-term rumors made her a bit timid. She was able to speak so many words without stage fright, which was already very good.

Orson nodded slightly to Her Highness the Princess, "Maybe I didn't express my meaning clearly just now. There is no doubt that Luo Ning's credit for rescuing Her Highness the Princess is unquestionable, but this credit is not enough for him to take over the entire Wubei Territory."

He still insists on his opinion.

"The Oshan Territory is currently under threat from the Black Gold Brotherhood and the Polish Bandits. In order to eradicate these two forces on the border, many nobles and knights have shed their blood and lives on the battlefield."

"The combat achievements of many knights and barons are not low. Even accumulated over several years, their achievements are comparable to Luo Ning's achievements this time."

Orson changed the topic, "They haven't even had time to reward their achievements, but they rewarded Luo Ning so grandly. It doesn't seem appropriate."

"Isn't that right, Orson? I remember every time we conquered the Black and Gold Brotherhood, those nobles who performed well were given fiefs or rewards."

Viscount Marvin said in a bad tone, "As far as I know, the people who receive the most awards every time are your people. We haven't raised any objections yet, but you have raised it first?"

Orson sneered, "If we don't reward those who have made great contributions, why should we reward people like you who don't contribute every time?"

"You're farting! Who doesn't do his best every time? When are the knights led by my iron hoof not at the forefront?"

We could still have a good discussion at first, but later on the atmosphere became uncomfortable, and someone with a bad temper like Marvin started scolding them.

As a party involved, Luo Ning did not express his opinion. He just watched these people's speeches quietly.

In fact, most nobles recognized his contribution, but they had some opinions on the specific enfeoffment.

For example, Baron Corian Hansen of Boulder City in the southwest felt that Orson's point of view was not unreasonable.

The nobles in the southwest have been resisting the Polish thieves for many years, but not many knights and nobles have been enfeoffed or rewarded.

Even Corian Hansen himself is still just a baron.

"alright."

The argument lasted too long, and Rulans finally spoke to calm down the noise in the hall, "I listened to your opinions, but I don't agree with your views."

"I have lived in seclusion these years and haven't paid much attention to the affairs in the territory, but I still know about the Black Gold Brotherhood in the southeast and the Boland Thieves in the southwest."

Rulans's eyes fell on Baron Corian Hansen, "Corian, what did I say to you back then?"

Corian's expression became serious, "My lord, please tell me that we must eliminate the Polite Thieves Group as soon as possible."

"Have they been eliminated now?"

"No... no."

Lulans laughed, "Over the years, Wushan Castle has provided a lot of food and horses to Boulder City and surrounding nobles. Not only did you fail to eliminate the enemy, you didn't even take back two pieces of territory. With such a record, what rewards are you talking about?"

Corian lowered his head, "Your Excellency is right."

"As for the Black Gold Brotherhood in the southeast."

Lulans looked at Orson, "The same reason, if the enemy is not eliminated, there will be no big rewards, but considering that the nobles and knights have taken back some land, Wushan Castle still rewarded those nobles and knights with great merits, which is enough."

"Let's talk about Ronin again."

Lulans paused and grabbed everyone's attention back, "His merit is not only in saving Princess Blanche, but also in resolving a huge disaster in Wushan Territory."

If Blanche is killed, someone will definitely take the opportunity to stir up conflicts between the royal family and Wushan Territory. At that time, Wushan Territory will definitely be in turmoil, which is not good for most people.

So there is nothing wrong with Lulans saying that Roning resolved a huge disaster in Wushan Territory.

"You have a point."

Orson agreed with some of Lulans's remarks, "But I still think that it is enough to confer Roning the title of Viscount and give him the Territory of Sein."

He emphasized: "Wubei Territory is too big, and it seems inappropriate to give it all to Roning."

Lulans shook his head, "Although Wubei Territory is large, most of it is barren land and full of dangers. When Shanlin Town was still an ownerless land, those pioneering knights would rather choose manors in other places than become the lord of Shanlin Town."

"Okay."

Orson showed a helpless look, "The Marquis is still the same as before, and it is difficult for us to change your decision."

"Why don't you have a contest?"

Count Jesus, who was sitting next to Blanche, had been silent since he came in, but he didn't expect to speak at this time.

He had a playful smile on his face, and his eyes looked back and forth between Lulans and Orson.

"Didn't you follow Lulans because you lost to him in a competition? And I heard that you had several disagreements later and you fought each other. Whoever won had his say."

Jesus smiled and said, "After so many years, you rarely have such an opportunity. I think it's better to have a competition. And Orson, I heard that your strength has improved recently?"

Everyone was shocked.

Orson has been a gold-level knight for a long time. If his strength improves, wouldn't he be promoted to the meteor level?

Many people frowned secretly. This is not a good thing.

Luo Ning's face was also solemn at this moment. This Jesus was obviously looking for trouble.

Lulans has been living in seclusion for many years, and he has never used force publicly due to injuries. This is a well-known fact.

Now asking him to fight with Orson is clearly embarrassing him.

This competition cannot be agreed.
