"Did Yawenni Jinyue wipe out an entire tribe of orcs in your place?"
This was the question Shafron asked Lant in an inaudible voice that was almost magical.
Lant didn't expect that Yawenni came to the imperial capital in the morning to claim credit, and someone actually heard about it in the evening, so he nodded and communicated through the magic network: "This is what happened. When we went west to investigate, we encountered a group of orcs. Tribe, she did destroy most of the orcs, but that one fell without the favored one of the beast god."
When Shafron heard this, he became interested and asked through the same communication within the magic network: "Is there such a good thing? I also want to kill an orc tribe."
"ha?"
"I'm serious. If you want to be promoted in the Imperial Knights, you must have certain martial arts requirements. Yawenni was suddenly commended by the leader in the morning and was promoted to the first class viscount in the palace. This is rare in hundreds of years. "After Saffron's introduction, Lant probably understood why Yavini was so keen on clocking in at the front line.
Although the Imperial Knights are an establishment unit, their promotion requirements are not only very strict, but also a two-line promotion. There are positions and titles. The positions represent how many people are managed below, and the titles represent the treatment rules.
The promotion of positions is only linked to the level. Once you reach a high level, you will enter a branch as captain, deputy leader and other management. For example, Yawenni is already a Golden Knight and has been a branch of the Sky Knights for decades. Head of the group.
The job title is only related to honor. Only those who kill the enemy bravely and have enough military exploits to convince the public can be promoted upwards, and the higher the level, the more stringent the requirements for military merit. It must be external combat, not just internal counterinsurgency or catching bandits.
Yawenni was suddenly promoted to first-class viscount in the morning, which made the senior members of the knights speculate that she must have found a safe and stable opportunity to kill the enemy, otherwise she would not have braved the head and rushed to the front line of the war.
"If you have a relatively stable brush... Well, I mean the opportunity to kill the enemy. The enemy is not very powerful and there is no opportunity for the beast-bodied one on the opposite side. Please help me arrange it. I will be the first class. He has been a baron for several years, but this is all he lacks in military merit." Shafron looked at Lant and expressed some embarrassment.
Lant didn't say anything, he just said: "Let me take a look."
In fact, yesterday, when Yawenni killed more than a dozen orcs in the forest, Lant had an idea. He asked the high-ranking officials in the imperial capital to come over to collect the results of the battle, and provided the passage himself to harvest prisoners of war and supplies. Everyone could take what they got. need.
However, when Shafren actually brought it up to him, Lant knew that he was too naive.
These noble children do not regard the war faced by Lant as their own war. They only hope to kill a few orcs like hunting in autumn, so that their merit records will be a little fancy.
Maybe one day when the imperial capital is besieged, they will fight tooth and nail regardless of their own safety. However, the battle west of the Iowa Pass is more like a game for them. Such people will not fight hard at all, nor will they. Very good discipline, and they are all high-level, and Rand can't restrain them.
…
Yeqi City in the evening, in the residential area of Padmila Palace.
The restaurant in the residential area is no smaller than the banquet hall. After arranging the tables and chairs in the style of a buffet reception tonight, I discovered that it is almost the same area as the Luoyue Lake Hall.
Right in front of the hall, Guleya and Tutapara sat on two long chairs respectively. They were the two high-ranking people in the whole room, so they naturally sat in the main seats.
In front of them, Wendy, Lily, Firefly, Sophia, Jonny and the centaur girl Kay formed a group;
The little cardinal gathered together with the four feathered girls and the autumn grass; Jenny Galloping Horse, Itris, Lenikova, and Yumis gathered together;
Neil, Tierney, Xiaohua, Daqira Feilong, Uffi and others are together; Gandalf and Zhuo Xi are together with the new fire priests and mages.
Each group of people represents an important force around Lant. In each group of people, there are people who are very familiar with others. However, when this group of people get together, everyone still chooses to stick to the person they are most familiar with. Group drinking.
Gu Leiya was sitting on a long chair, looking at the small groups of people in front of her, her head got big.
When Lant proposed to hold a welcome reception at noon, she knew that this would happen. Now there are not even half-orc life priests and dwarves in this group of people, but only mages and a few knights in the territory. They are already " Falling apart".
"Wendy?" The dragon girl called softly, asking Wendy to look at her, "How about you..."
Seeing the dragon girl making a "say a few words" gesture, Wendy knew she had to say something.
Just in the afternoon, Gu Leiya talked to her specifically. For the hostesses of big aristocratic families, the ball is their battlefield. Wendy doesn't like this battlefield, but she wants to fight for Lant.
However, in front of a large group of unfamiliar people, Wendy was still a little uncomfortable. If Lant was beside her, she would still have some confidence. However, now more and more eyes are looking at her, and her heart is getting more and more... panic.
"Everyone, it's not easy for everyone to get together..." Before she could say anything, the little red bird on the side spoke, letting Wendy, who was just about to speak, say it or not.
As the consul's assistant who follows Huck every day to receive middle- and low-level guests, Little Cardinal is actually not very good at talking. She said this now because she was afraid that the atmosphere would be too deserted, but she didn't expect that everyone's eyes would change as soon as she said half a sentence. Something was wrong. I turned around and saw Wendy, and said quickly: "Um... Sister Wendy, how about you tell me..."
"No...it's okay,"
Both girls wanted to speak, but they both gave in, which made the finless porpoise mage Lennikova not far away amused. She quietly came to Neil and Xiaohua and said: "Why are these two mages so condescending? Now. Shouldn't we be the first to speak? Also, why doesn't Teacher Gu Leiya speak?"
Neil also shook his head after hearing this. He and Lenikova naturally knew the occasion of the reception in front of them, and also knew why Gulea reminded Wendy to prepare a speech.
The purpose of this internal cocktail party is to find a territorial mistress who can calm the whole scene. Gu Leiya hopes it will be Wendy. Little Red Bird habitually thinks that she needs to come forward. The two girls are similar in strength and have their own support. Both of them also lack the aura of the hostess.
Not only Neil and Lenikova, the old mage Gandalf also watched the two girls being humble to each other. The flame priests around him have been learning from the flame fairies in the past few days, and many of them are already preparing to go to Io. The small town of Wa served the Knights.
The upright priests whispered to each other and asked when the meal could be served. Zhuo Qian tugged on Gandalf's sleeve and asked: "The girl in front is the Wendy wizard you always mentioned, right? Why doesn't she speak?"
The old mage could only shake his head. Although he taught Wendy a lot of magic, he could not teach her how to deal with the current situation. Just like in the salt mine, although Lanya was the real leader, she could not restrain Peter. Like a maned wolf.
"Everyone!"
Finally, a female voice sounded from the front of the hall, causing everyone's attention to focus again. Not only the flame priests and water mages, but also Wendy and Little Cardinal also looked forward.
"Dear mages from Yeqi City, members of the Galloping Horse Tribe, and priests of the Magic Forge!"
