Rise In Calradia

Chapter 144: : The King's Mind

  Byron took over the saber, and applause of willingness and reluctance also followed. All the nobles present stood up to pay tribute to him, and the soldiers, servants and even knights also changed the name of Byron.

"Master Byron."

[Congratulations, you have been recognized by King Harrods, you have been awarded the baronial title, and your class is promoted to;]

[The glorious title of nobility you have won, now people will call you an adult. You got the title of experience;]

【Becoming a nobleman is a very glorious thing, and the news of your becoming a nobleman will spread throughout the kingdom. Reputation +50; Influence +20;】

[As a baron, you have gained real command and conscription rights, and people are more willing to join your army. +1; troops will gain extra morale. 】

A series of prompts made Byron's mood very good, especially the increase in the upper limit of troops. Now the troops he can lead have reached 600. It is completely possible to expand another wave of troops, and he is not afraid of a decline in morale.

And he also had a fief, the main town of Serendil and the woodlands and small villages near the town, which was the place where Byron had taken the attack last time.

Although there are almost no civilians there, the location of transportation is important, and the tariffs on caravans are very high. Moreover, the buildings are readily available and easy to develop.

Byron's excitement didn't disappear until King Harous gave him the first task.

"Baron Byron, for the benefit of the kingdom, tell me the manufacturing method of the explosive thing you have used."

King Harous's words were very compulsive, and he was obviously implying that the title of Baron Byron was not in vain.

Byron naturally didn't want to agree, but the balance of power was here, and he had no chance to refuse.

And he had considered this possibility before, and he also admitted that he himself could not keep the secret of gunpowder.

Byron explained the composition of the gunpowder to King Harous, and slightly changed the ratio of charcoal to saltpeter, so that it burned insufficiently and its power was reduced, but it was not obvious.

The craftsmen of Swadia need a while to improve the formula, and Byron can step up the production of hoarded gunpowder during this time.

Because all the technologies are unqualified, gunpowder now has only one purpose for Byron to siege the city, and other weapons need to spend a lot of time researching to enhance their actual combat capabilities.

Next, Byron also had his place in the hall, although only standing.

King Harrods rewarded several other officers who did meritorious service and distributed a box of gold coins as a bonus.

But after that, there was no such degree of reward to Byron. The title of the baron was granted to the common people. Although such an example is not uncommon in the history of the Kingdom of Swadia, the last one was 20 years ago.

The reward ends here, and the king’s cook has also taken over the castle’s kitchen and began preparing for the celebration dinner.

When King Haraus left the hall and went to the lord's bedroom to take a rest, several lords, as well as the ministers in charge of advisory duties around him, came in and surrounded him.

"You shouldn't make such a mercenary such a noble position!"

They said dissatisfied.

"To make this guy a nobleman is to put a vulture among the swans! If this kind of thing continues, the whole continent will know how cheap the nobleman of Swadia is!"

The nobles complained constantly, and some even threatened the king that if Byron would attend the dinner as a baron, they would lead their troops to evacuate.

"What's so scary about sealing such a guy?"

Hearing the words of the nobles, King Harous smiled.

"He has no foundation, no background, as long as he is well controlled, he will be a good hunting dog."

"The guy from Sweden and my cousin have been communicating for two months, and this guy thinks ridiculously that I don't know. We must have more vassals who support us, and they must be able to provide enough soldiers. "

"The mercenaries in Calradia are very large. If they get together, they will be a powerful force. I have never forgotten how our ancestors took root. How many lords of Swadia had their ancestors from outside the mainland? Come, accept the employment of the ancient Karad Empire, and finally have a fief and wealth."

"Byron is just a signal, a signal to other mercenaries in the mainland. What do they think after they know that all mercenaries can become nobles in the kingdom?"

King Haraus smiled, and the nobles stopped complaining. What the king said is very reasonable, although they do not trust the mercenaries, but they do see the hope of controlling Byron.

If only Feng Byron embraced the nobles, that would be acceptable. In the face of interests, status and status are actually not that important.

"The villages of Serendil are sealed to those young and promising noble children. Give Byron to the town that has become an empty city. Doesn't he have troops? He can guard there for us so that the mercenaries don’t run all over the country. Cause trouble."

"And his thing called "gunpowder" is much better than the black powder produced by the Sarandians. With this thing, the walls and castles of Veluga can no longer stop us. Think about those in the south. Rich villages and towns, they will all belong to us."

King Harous further added.

Earl Claes didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't have any opinion on Byron becoming a baron. It was just that the king was a little dissatisfied with the direct robbing of people from him.

The other lords did not change their views, but they all saw their own advantages in Byron. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

If Byron can't do it, then there is a way to clean him up, and then just treat him like a rundown aristocrat and just find him in a poor village and throw it away.

If he really develops, it is not necessarily a bad thing for them. The nobles also have the means to win, form alliances, and even marry. They don't believe that Byron, a new nobleman, doesn't need their help.

The nobles had no objection, and King Harous also motioned for them to leave.

The lords left the room after saluting, talking about Byron in a mocking tone outside. But after a while, they decided to face Byron, the legal baron of the kingdom.

King Haraus breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his increasingly pale hair, and walked to the table to lay out the map.

"Byron..."

He picked up a chess piece and placed it in Serendil's position. He picked up other chess pieces and filled the villages and towns in the north of Rhodok.

Finally, he picked up the biggest chess piece, which was also marked with a lion, and placed it heavily on the words Veruga.

Subsequently, the same chess pieces were placed in the positions of Aaron and Jelkala, and the entire Rhodok's territory was changed under his hands.

King Haraus smiled with satisfaction, and then lay on the bed.

He needs a nap to attend the dinner party.

And after that, there are still many tough battles to fight...
