Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

Vol 2 Chapter 67: Grand Duke's Speech

   The cheers came to a climax the moment the Grand Duke raised the sword.

   calmed down the moment the sword stood on the ground.

   Only the erratic lingering sound is still echoing in everyone's ears.

   At this moment, it is eight thirty in the evening.

  In the Principality of Perth, this is not too late.

   On the sea level in the distance, the sun has just set, under the refraction of the sea and the atmosphere, the light in the city is not particularly dark.

   But this does not include the area under the shadow of the fortress.

   Contemporary Grand Duke Sai Lujiago stood on the platform at the entrance of the castle, with his back leaning against the burning, radiating bright yellow lights.

  Under the steps in front of him, hundreds of members of the principality nobles in armors were surrounded.

   Polished and smooth armor, reflecting the faint metallic luster against the bright light.

   At a distance, there are more participants who can only distinguish the color of the clothes, but whose faces are no longer clear.

   The contrast between light and darkness made his heart feel proud.

  Although Essien Island has not held a celebration banquet in recent years.

   But that's the most, and it's just to wipe out a certain large pirate group, or a certain band of bandits.

   There may be a lot of people attending the banquet, but never once did they have the power in front of them.

   After all, the suppression of bandits can't be compared with this war that mobilized most of the principality's power.

   One earl, nine viscounts, seventeen barons, more than one hundred and sixty knights.

   Except for the ceremony of succession to the Duke, Celugago never saw so many nobles at the same time.

   Under the influence of turbulent emotions, even his speech is louder than ever.

   "My dear brothers, this moment is a glorious moment for all of us.

   Because of us, we won a complete victory in a great war to defend our country. "

As soon as   's voice fell, the cheers of "Wow" rose again.

   The nobles who heard the voice of the Grand Duke, whom he called "brothers", first drew out their weapons and raised their voices.

   Then, they tapped their armor with all kinds of weapons, as if they were going to play a piece of exciting music with a "ding-dang-dong" percussion.

   The noisy scene is much more enthusiastic than the chanting in unison at the beginning.

   After a long time, the chaotic voice was calmed down by the grandduke's signal again.

   This scene fell in Lothar's eyes, which really made him a little envious.

   Don’t look at the 400-odd people who are old, weak, sick, and disabled, and their combat effectiveness is uneven.

   But behind them, there is a principality gathered, most of the power.

   He is far from being able to contend with this powerful force.

   Regardless of military, politics, or economy.

   "Fortunately, I am now one of the components of this force, not its enemy."

   Silently pressed this envy to the bottom of his heart, Lothar began to listen intently to the next speech of the Grand Duke.

   Then he found that even in another world, the speeches of the leaders were still somewhat similar.

   That is a long and empty word.

   At the beginning of the 30-minute speech, the Grand Duke spent a full one-third of his time recalling the achievements of the ancestors in building the country and resisting foreign enemies.

   These achievements are not just for the Paz family.

   From time to time, one can hear the appearance of a certain noble surname from the grandduke’s mouth, which in turn attracts loud echoes from the family.

After    recalled, the topic finally turned to this war.

   But what the Grand Duke said was not how the Principality organized and mobilized its army, what battles it had fought, or how it fought against the barbarians.

   Here, the Grand Duke once again spent a third of his time, using a lot of rhetoric, to depict the invading barbarians as powerful, cruel and despicable objects, and to defeat the barbarians as an impossible task.

   The counterpart is to praise the noble character of the nobles who insisted on their glory and duties, fought bravely with the barbarians, and disregarded their sacrifices.

   The only thing that is really related to the battle is probably only the first encounter when praised the aristocrats for their heroic fighting.

   In this two-thousand-forty-thousand encounter, the fighting will displayed by the soldiers and nobles of the Principality is praised by many neighboring countries.

   In order to further build momentum for his eldest son, the Grand Duke will not let go of this good publicity opportunity.

   Judging from the cheers of the people down the steps, his goal has been achieved.

   But for Lothar, this twenty-minute speech was a bit boring.

   To be honest, Lothar was not unclear about the purpose and meaning of these things.

   tells about the achievements of the ancestors, but not immersed in the glory of the past.

   The real goal is to compare this war with the ancestors.

   is to arouse the sense of historical honor of the nobles, and then guide the understanding that the contemporary nobles are not inferior to their ancestors.

   And speaking of the strength and threat of the barbarians and the heroic fighting of the nobles, it is to point out the difficulty of victory and the difficulty of obtaining meritorious service.

   The ultimate goal is to cater to the aristocracy's request for rewards, and to tell domestic and foreign countries that the subsequent rewards are reasonable.

   But knowing that Gui knows, what should be boring will still be boring.

   After all, he is neither a traditional aristocrat of the principality nor ignorant of this war.

   It is very difficult to give birth to a sense of identity like other nobles with the exaggerated expression of the Dagong.

   Of course, the most fundamental reason is that he has always been separated from the nobles of the principality.

   Fortunately, after finishing the above two paragraphs, the Grand Duke did not "say one more last word", but went directly to the highlight of the banquet.

   After once again praising the heroes of the nobles, the Grand Duke first announced the results of the entire war.

   Immediately after that is the reward link that everyone is most looking forward to.

  Of course~www.readwn.com~Because there were a lot of nobles who participated in the war, the Grand Duke only announced the 16 people with the highest merits.

   There is no doubt that Lothar is one of them.

   is probably to show justice.

   Even though the Grand Duke and the earl had just gotten nasty not long ago, they didn't change Lothar's merit rating for this reason.

   Among all sixteen, Lothar’s name ranked second, second only to Viscount Hollum, the guard.

  Promoted to baron, feudal Mowen Town and five subordinate villages, Linhu Town and subordinate villages, and one leather manor.

   In addition, as Lothar expected, in addition to the due reward, there is an extra two thousand gold coins as a monetary reward, as well as some cloth, food and other materials.

   Generally speaking, these rewards exceeded Lothar's expectations.

   But he had noticed that in the list of nobles read by the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke's eldest son Willier did not appear.

   Of course, it's not that he denied his merits.

   If that were the case, Viscount Hollum would not rank first among all nobles.

The reason why    did not appear on the list was probably because the reward he received was different from that of ordinary nobles.

   "I'm afraid Willier will be officially established as the heir of the Grand Duke soon."
