Chapter 959 Reward

Li Yifei hasn't felt so motivated for a long time.

The power and strength of the knight drove him forward and wanted to explore the unknown.

The future was full of hope, waiting for him to conquer one by one.

In this situation, Li Yifei looked much more cheerful.

When Lister began to summon them, he was smiling.

"My lords, Count Simon has reported to me the war situation in the Zhongxin Galaxy. Thank you for fighting hard and expanding the territory for the empire."

Lister was the first to express his gratitude. Li Yifei and others hurriedly touched their chests and bowed: "This is our responsibility, Your Highness the Duke."

"Those who have made contributions will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. Our Dark Empire has always been straightforward, and I have never forgotten my promise to you.

Come... bring the edict of enthronement."

Lister shouted, and immediately a servant presented the edicts that had been prepared long ago with both hands.

"The situation in the noble families is complicated, so I won't reward them one by one. According to the rules of our Dark Empire... Li Yifei."

Lister shouted, and Li Yifei was stunned for a moment before he stepped out and stood in front of him.

The attendant came to him with a smile and whispered: "Kneel on one knee!"

Li Yifei finally reacted and knelt down according to the etiquette of the knight.

According to the simple etiquette he learned, knights do not need to kneel down to the superior nobles in most cases. Touching the chest is enough, and bending down is a special treatment for senior nobles.

Fighting power is not just a simple accumulation. Spiritual strength is inseparable from honor and personal treatment.

"You are on the right path, Li Yifei!"

Lister did not rush to confer him a title, but spoke loudly in front of everyone.

"According to the rules of the empire, the family depends on the powerful nobles, not the nobles depend on the powerful family."

The relationship between the two complements each other, just like the Li family, individuals hold power, but no individual holds absolute power.

Including Li Yifei's lineage, they also have many core members who jointly control the resources of the family.

However, in the Dark Empire, the relationship between the two sides is often reversed because of power.

More often, powerful nobles are the dominant force of the family.

Of course, these require Li Yifei to savor carefully.

Before he could chew and understand, Lister had already drawn the knight's sword and pressed it on his shoulder.

"In the name of Palmer, I grant you the title of baron, and the cover is in the Zhongxin Galaxy..."

On the map engraved with copper plates, Li Yifei's cover was recorded, which will be the guarantee of his right to rule.

In addition, Lister was absolutely generous in giving swords, clothes, mechas and even some industries.

Even people like Li Yifei who have seen the world have the joy of positive feedback.

Because in the field of extraordinary, he is a complete poor man.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Yifei thanked him respectfully, even if the education he received since childhood told him that this was Lister's way of controlling his subordinates, he was willing to do it.

Therefore, to drive others, it is not about how good your skills in drawing cakes are, but the real benefits are real.

"The empire uses talents in a flexible way, but if there is merit in expanding territory, the empire will certainly not hesitate to reward." Lister emphasized again.

Although the Zhongxin Galaxy was presented by the Dark Faction, after a circle, they were grateful and had the legal right to rule.

Do you ask Lister if he feels sorry?

Of course he feels sorry. An entire planetary system represents huge resources and benefits. Of course he hopes to get it in his pocket.

But he thinks it is worth it to buy people's hearts with high positions and generous salaries.

The Dark Faction is enfeoffed in various places today, and they will only be more active in expanding territory in the future, and the benefits will be far higher than today.

The most intuitive example is that at the beginning they only wanted to split the land and be autonomous, and become a confederation of the Blue Star Federation.

But now, young people like Li Yifei have been determined to integrate into the Dark Empire system and exist as lower-level nobles.

There is no other reason. What the Dark Empire gives them is their own, but what belongs to the family is not necessarily his.

To hollow out the family and enrich themselves, Li Yifei and others certainly have to make some choices.

And from the perspective of loss, Lister is very kind, and the overall strength of the family has not decreased but increased, so what reason is there to refuse?

As for the Blue Star Federation, let the Blue Star Federation die.

When Lister finished awarding the rewards one by one, everyone was very excited.

They got legal recognition from the Dark Empire, which made them see a bright future.

Perhaps the specific benefits still need to be discussed with the family, but these are their bargaining chips.

In addition, the extraordinary items and even industries given by Lister are also a considerable wealth.

And Lister's rewards are also very fair. They are generally distributed according to merit and adjusted according to their inclinations.

At least for now, there is no need to consider too many balance issues, and even to raise the power of supporters as soon as possible.

After the title, there was another banquet, and finally this exciting day ended.

When Li Yifei and others walked out of the Duke's Mansion again, their identities were completely different.

But for him, the surprise is not over yet.

In addition to some titles and money, Liszt also gave Li Yifei an industry, some real estate, and slaves.

These are standard equipment for nobles. If you want to maintain the status of a noble, you need to spend money.

After the servants of the Duke's mansion handed over these things, Li Yifei was a little confused.

To be honest, he really didn't know much about these.

He had no experience at all in being a noble.

Fortunately, he still had people to ask for advice. The Knights of the North Wind had a camp nearby. As an apprentice on duty, it was easy for him to go in and out.

After some inquiries, he found Lyon.

The two had known each other through He Kai for a long time, and even had a private business to get closer. Recently, they had fought together in the Zhongxin Star System.

The two were received by the Duke at different times, and Lyon and his own people had already received rewards.

Compared with Li Yifei, Lyon was quite experienced.

After all, you have seen pigs run even if you have not eaten pork.

When you become a noble, many things will be very easy to adapt to.

Hearing that Li Yifei was also named a baron, Lyon was jealous for a moment.

After all, the latter did not experience life and death, but easily got the same title as him.

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality. Some people are born mules and horses, and some people are born in Rome. This is normal.

Compared to other things, the empire at least has channels for advancement, and commoners like me can also make a name for myself.

When it comes to my descendants, they can also enjoy the same treatment as Li Yifei.

After regaining his normal state of mind, he said with a smile: "Let me see what reward the Duke has given you."
