Chapter 229 Life Is Unpredictable

Simon looked at the flying griffins, and finally they landed in the military camp of the Sword Legion.

"Is this a member of the Griffin Knights? Alas, the griffon is great. I have to buy a gryphon... It's a pity that I need help in times of crisis!"

Simon sighed, if there were hundreds of griffins and the black fire potion was prepared, wouldn't it be possible to transform into a bomber formation?

This thing must be kept secret, otherwise if the royal family knows about it, there is no guarantee that they will not come to him for the formula.

After all, they have hundreds of griffons readily available.

It was getting dark, and after Simon ate a few pieces of white bread and a roasted deer leg, he was ready to go into the big tent to rest.

But at this time, there was a sudden commotion outside.

"Viscount Simon! Please come to the Chinese army tent to attend the meeting of nobles!" the herald shouted loudly.

"I will inform my adults!" Airei's voice sounded.

At this time Simon also heard the conversation between them, and he stood up again after he was already lying down.

"There must be something urgent when we have a meeting tonight." He thought to himself and walked out of the tent.

"Lord Viscount, the herald has just arrived..."

"I understand. Gather the Guardsmen and come with me." Simon nodded and said.

"Yes!" Mailan took the order and left.

It didn't take long for five hundred soldiers, all wearing armor, to gather in front of the tent, all equipped with war horses.

Simon now has more than 500 war horses, and raising them is really a bit stressful.

Fortunately, you can let them eat grass on weekdays, just mix it with some refined grains.

"Let's go." Simon glanced and ordered.

Then everyone mounted their horses and ran towards the Sword Legion's camp.

In the previous battle, this regiment lost four to five thousand men, and now there were only a little over ten thousand left.

The lord's army also lost almost this number, adding up to 10,000 people.

However, they wiped out more than 20,000 Green Forest Brothers, which was considered a great victory.

Not long after, after reporting their identities, they successfully entered the military camp and arrived at Ravens' tent.

Simon walked in and took a glance, and found a long table inside, with many people already sitting on both sides.

"Viscount Simon, please take a seat." Ravens greeted with a gloomy face, which was completely different from his high-spirited mood during the day.

He was not sitting on the main seat. The person sitting on the main seat was a very young man, about twenty years old.

His face was full of arrogance and air, and there was also a hint of joy and pride. In short, it was a rather complicated expression.

Simon Dui nodded with a smile and went to sit in the empty seat.

"This is the ninth prince, Segel Bavarik." Ravens introduced.

"Greetings to His Highness the Prince!" Upon hearing this, Simon stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Well! Are you the Lucky Star Simon?" Segel looked at him and smiled lightly.

"Exactly." Simon Dui responded with a smile.

Segel glanced at him for a few times, then stopped looking.

Simon also remained silent. After sitting down again, he began to look at the noble lords present.

There are still seven direct barons left, and the loss is not heavy.

Even Verrill, a guy who could become a great person, failed.

Most of the barons in the Cisse Direct Territory had just opened up wasteland and were not strong enough. When encountering trouble, they mostly led their own men to attack, resulting in heavy casualties.

"Now that everyone is almost here, let me announce something.

The Griffin Knights' operation to rescue Prince Ferdy failed, resulting in the prince's death at the hands of thieves...

Now the royal family has decided to appoint the ninth prince Segel as the governor of the Xise Territory to handle various matters on behalf of the royal family...

As the commander-in-chief of the Sword Legion, Ravens was dismissed from his position due to poor command and taken to Eagle City for trial! "

There was a strong knight in shining armor next to Segel, solemnly announcing.

When Simon heard this, he was slightly shocked. Is this how Prince Feidi settled the matter?

It’s true that life is unpredictable, the large intestine wraps around the small intestine.

Simon couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. Such a protagonist-like character was gone just as soon as he said goodbye.

"Be sure to be careful when you act in the future!"

Simon was secretly alert in his heart.

He didn't know what kind of heel this Ninth Prince was, and he would have to find someone to find out later.

It seems that the city government is very poor and the expression management is not good enough.

However, people cannot be judged by their appearance. You still have to pull them out to find out what they are like.

After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Afterwards, this meeting also appointed a new candidate for the commander of the Sword Legion on the spot, named Deldy Irwin, who was the one who was speaking.

This name sounded like nobility. Simon thought about it for a while before he remembered that it was the surname of a count family in Xiqiu.

"It seems that this ninth prince has a close relationship with the Lanceport family of the Grand Duke of West Hills, and he has a similar relationship with Prince Feidi."

Simon secretly thought that in addition to the royal family, the most powerful families in the Eagle Kingdom were the Grand Dukes of Hewan, Xiqiu and Beifeng.

The daughter of the Grand Duke of the Reach is the queen, and the prince Eldan she gave birth to is the heir, with a transcendent status.

As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, he will definitely be the new king of the Eagle Kingdom in the future, so he rarely makes any risky moves.

Therefore, for the task of guarding the border, a prince with the blood of the Grand Duke family of Xiqiu Land is the best candidate.

The princess who came from the Grand Duke's family in Beifeng Land did not give birth to a prince.

“While rescuing Prince Ferdy, we found that the rebels had many advanced knights in the Long Narrow Fortress, which caused us to suffer a lot, and that’s why the rescue failed.

Judging from their fighting skills, those knights seemed to be the Holy Knights of the Church of the Holy Spirit.

But the Paladins in the Eagle Kingdom were wiped out by us a hundred years ago, and there shouldn't be any left...

This matter is full of doubts, so I decided to suspend the march and ask for help from the kingdom and other nobles.

It is not just our Xisai Legion's job to wipe out the rebels..."

The newly appointed commander of the Sword Legion, Deldy Ivan, preached on the left hand side of Segel.

The other nobles just listened silently and didn't say anything.

After Deldy Ivan finished speaking, Segel Bavarik took over and said: "In this battle, all the lords took the lead and killed the enemy enthusiastically.

I will ask the Kingdom's State Council to upgrade your titles, and you will be promoted from baron to viscount.

As for Viscount Simon, he will be recorded as a great merit and rewarded with 100 war horses and 2,000 sets of iron-studded armor..."

Hearing this, everyone became energetic and smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness Segel! "

The voice was quite loud.

Now, all the barons who are still alive have become viscounts. Simon was a viscount before, but he was not promoted.

But he was given a great merit.

The Eagle Kingdom has a system of noble merits, which is divided into four levels: micro merits, small merits, great merits, and amazing great merits.

A baron can reach the standard of being promoted to a nobleman after accumulating one great merit or six small merits, and a viscount can be promoted to an earl after five great merits.

In addition, these merits can be exchanged for items in Eagle City, such as books, knight breathing methods, magic, enchanted weapons, etc.

It is still quite useful.

However, the merit system is not so strict when it is actually implemented, and the aristocratic society inevitably pays attention to human relationships.

It is just for reference.

If Simon is a direct descendant of Seger, he might be promoted to an earl this time.

Often, the goals that small people need to struggle to achieve are just a matter of a word from big people.
