"I'm so glad that everyone can participate in this year's Autumn Campaign Reward Banquet again!"
"Although there were some accidents during this year's Autumn March, none of the nobles in our Tulip Territory had any accidents. This is very fortunate!"
"More importantly, this year, a warrior appeared among our vassals in the Tulip Territory. His achievements are dazzling and outstanding, and he is now famous in the Agate Principality!"
"Okay! Without further ado, let's start tonight's reward banquet!"
As Bernard spoke, Nalant could only stop chatting and look towards the high platform like other nobles.
"This year, our spoils are not much, but His Majesty the King has also seen everyone's losses, so His Majesty the King has increased the rewards for our six count families. My Tulip family has received a total reward of one thousand gold coins!"
"And of these thousand gold coins, you could only get 400 of them in previous years. However, in previous years you had other trophies, so it's not a small number. But this year you didn't get any other trophies, so I, Bernard, also decided
Distribute all these one thousand gold coins to you!"
"In addition, each of your families can also get ten serfs!"
Wow!
"Your lordship is so generous!"
"Yes! I thought this year's Autumn Campaign was going to be a failure. Ten of the serfs I recruited died, and three of the guards died!"
"Now that the earl has given us a thousand gold coins to share equally, wouldn't this completely compensate for our losses and make some profit!"
"Thank you, Lord Count, for your generosity!"
"Thank you, Lord Count, for your generosity!"
Immediately, all the little nobles in the hall excitedly thanked him.
There are only dozens of nobles in the field. The distribution of these one thousand gold coins means that each family can basically get more than twenty gold coins.
In this way, not only can they make up for their losses during the Autumn Campaign, but they can even make a little profit.
Although such a small amount of profit cannot be compared with previous years, the situation this year is dangerous, and I am lucky to be able to escape.
Therefore, now they are satisfied without losing money.
Bernard was also very satisfied when he saw the excitement of all the vassals.
"After you take these gold coins, don't just remember to eat, drink and have fun. Now the crisis in the Northern Principality has emerged, so you might as well use it to retrain the guards and enhance the strength of the territory!"
A few hundred gold coins is not a big expense for the Tulip family, but now that the principality is in an urgent situation, the most important thing is to distribute it to the vassals to increase their strength.
He was worried that the nobles only knew how to eat and drink, so he reminded them again.
"Yes, Lord Earl!"
Although I don’t know if everyone will comply in the end, the response was loud and clear.
Bernard nodded and immediately started the most important thing of today's reward banquet.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Now, everyone's rewards have been distributed, and the nobleman with the most dazzling achievements and the most outstanding achievements in our Tulip collar will also be rewarded!"
"Now, let this noble man who is famous in the principality go to the high platform!"
After Bernard finished speaking, all the nobles did not need to think, and all looked at Nalant.
Nalant was not afraid when he saw this, he rolled up his sleeves, then smiled and gestured to everyone, and then walked towards the high platform step by step.
"My Lord Count!"
Arriving on the high platform, Narante saluted Bernard.
"Well, this dress is nice! If I'm not mistaken, it should be made by a tailor in the palace, and His Majesty the King will reward me with a few pieces every year!" Bernard was still smiling.
"Well……"
Narant instantly understood what Bernard meant.
He was certainly not praising his beautiful dress like others.
But it meant something, knowing that it was a gift from Stella.
After all, how could an ordinary little nobleman ask a palace tailor to make a dress? I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to enter the palace.
"Father!" At this time, Stella screamed from the side when she saw this.
"Okay, okay, father is just talking!" Stella was Bernard's weakness. As she let out a coy voice, Bernard immediately surrendered.
He looked down again and said: "In this autumn campaign, Nalant's contribution is obvious to all, so I won't say more!"
"Let me tell you about another achievement you don't know about Nalant!"
"I don't know the credit?"
The achievements of the Autumn March were indeed known to the nobles, and even the deeds in the rear of the Marquis of Lisen were heard from the captives of Nalant when they returned.
They were already amazed by this.
But apart from the Autumn Campaign, what other achievements does Nalant have that the Earl can speak of so solemnly at this banquet?
Everyone looked at Bernard curiously.
"Nalant's other contribution is not inferior to the Qiu Zheng. This time we went to the royal capital. On the night when His Majesty the King held a celebration dinner, the second prince launched a coup..."
Immediately, Bernard told what happened at the banquet.
He did not cover up for himself and several counts, but openly told the story of how he and others were threatened by the second prince and the Freemasons after they were poisoned.
"Ah! There is such a thing. The second prince actually wants to usurp the throne, and the eldest prince is dead!"
After hearing Bernard's story, everyone below was in an uproar.
The news hasn't spread yet.
So, this was the first time they heard it.
"Sir Narante is mighty!"
"Sir Narante is mighty!"
Reflecting on this, the young nobles looked at Nalant with even more different eyes, and they all shouted out.
Seeing this, Bernard smiled and pressed his hand, "So, because of Nalant's outstanding achievements, I, Bernard Tulip, am going to upgrade Nalant's title and make him a baron!"
"Wow! Baron!"
"It's really unbelievable. Six months ago, Sir Nalant was a second son with no fighting spirit. In just a few months, not only did he possess fighting spirit and a title, but now he is about to obtain a hereditary baron!"
All the nobles looked at Nalant with envy again.
Of course, they were sincerely convinced of this. After all, with such a great contribution, anyone should be given a baronetcy.
"In addition to the title of baronet, I will also confer a fiefdom on Nalant. That fiefdom was obtained from Batman, and its area is equivalent to the size of a barony!"
"This..." The news behind this stunned everyone.
"There are also fief rewards? In total, Nalant has an area the size of two baronies. If he gets another barony in the future, wouldn't he be equivalent to a viscount?"
If Nalant was granted a hereditary baronet, that would be expected.
But the reward for obtaining this territory was really beyond the expectations of all the nobles, and everyone even had a trace of jealousy derived from their previous pure envy.
