Chapter 178 178 Objection

17th

In one sentence, everyone was shocked.

All the nobles in the hall turned their attention to the opponent, who was none other than Orson Hyde, the border Earl of Wushan Territory.

For a time, discussions arose one after another.

Viscount Marvin sneered, "Oson, your territory has no border with Wubei Territory, nor does it have any business dealings or conflicts. Why do you object?"

"Yes, if you want to object, it's Ma Wen who objects. After all, the Iron Hoof Leader is next to the Wu Bei Leader."

"No, no, no!" Marvin waved his hands repeatedly, "Gehrman, don't talk nonsense. I have no objection to the canonization of the Marquis."

Hermann spread his hands and said, "Me too."

The closest to Wubei territory is the territory of Marvin and Gehrman. They both said they had no objections. If others wanted to object, they would naturally have to give reasonable reasons.

Lulans remained calm, "Orson, tell me your reasons."

Everyone looked at Orson.

"Lord Marquis, as you said, Luo Ning did have a lot of contribution in rescuing Her Royal Highness the Princess, but the key to defeating the gold-level assassin is not Luo Ning himself, but the six you gave him. The high-level spell scroll worked."

Orson slowly stated the reason for his opposition: "Luo Ning has merit, but this merit is not big enough for him to become the master of the entire Wubei Territory."

"What Count Orson said is wrong."

The speaker was Luoning's brother-in-law Kabir, "Although the spell scroll is powerful, it still needs the user to seize the opportunity to use it. There are many people in this world, even if they hold a powerful spell scroll in their hands, they will die. No chance to use it."

"Kabir is right."

Wiggins has his own opinion on this matter, "The last time I was assassinated, my opponent was so fast and decisive that I didn't even have time to use the defensive spell scroll."

Orson couldn't help but glance at his son-in-law.

If it were someone else, he might think that the other person was leaning towards Luo Ning, but Wiggins was different. There was no need to understand Wiggins's words too deeply, the other person would only see what was in front of him.

However, Wiggins's words attracted the approval of other nobles.

A spell scroll is just a tool. How useful it can be depends on the person who uses it.

Blanche watched the nobles in the hall express their opinions one by one. She also wanted to say a few words for Luo Ning, but it only involved territory and title. It was not suitable for her to speak on such an occasion.

However, from her perspective, there is no problem in stating certain facts.

"Everyone's eyes are focused on the gold-level assassin, but before he took action, there were two assassins who almost killed me. If it weren't for Luo Ning, I would have fallen to the ground without the gold-level assassin taking action. In a pool of blood.”

She took a deep breath. She rarely participated in such occasions, and the long-term rumors made her a bit timid. She was able to speak so many words without stage fright, which was already very good.

Orson nodded slightly to Her Highness the Princess, "Maybe I didn't express my meaning clearly just now. There is no doubt that Luo Ning's credit for rescuing Her Highness the Princess is unquestionable, but this credit is not enough for him to take over the entire Wubei Territory."

He still insists on his opinion.

"The Oshan Territory is currently under threat from the Black Gold Brotherhood and the Polish Bandits. In order to eradicate these two forces on the border, many nobles and knights have shed their blood and lives on the battlefield."

"The combat achievements of many knights and barons are not low. Even accumulated over several years, their achievements are comparable to Luo Ning's achievements this time."

Orson changed the topic, "They haven't even had time to reward them for their achievements, but they rewarded Luo Ning so grandly. It doesn't seem appropriate."

"Isn't that right, Orson, I remember every time we conquered the Black and Gold Brotherhood, those nobles who performed well were given fiefs or rewards."

Viscount Marvin said in a bad tone, "As far as I know, the people who receive the most awards every time are your people. We haven't raised any objections yet, but you have raised it first?"

Orson sneered, "If we don't reward those who have made great contributions, why should we reward people like you who don't contribute every time?"

"You're farting! Who doesn't contribute every time? When are the knights led by my iron hoof not at the forefront?"

We could still have a good discussion at first, but later on the atmosphere became uncomfortable, and people like Marvin, who had a bad temper, started scolding.

As a party involved, Luo Ning did not express his opinion. He just watched these people's speeches quietly.

In fact, most nobles recognized his contribution, but they had some opinions on the specific enfeoffment.

For example, Baron Corian Hansen of Boulder City in the southwest felt that Orson's point of view was not unreasonable.

The nobles in the southwest have been resisting the Polish thieves for many years, but not many knights and nobles have been enfeoffed or rewarded.

Even Corian Hansen himself is still just a baron.

"alright."

The argument lasted too long, and Rulans finally spoke to calm down the noise in the hall, "I listened to your opinions, but I don't agree with your views."

"I have lived in seclusion these years and haven't paid much attention to the affairs in the territory, but I still know about the Black Gold Brotherhood in the southeast and the Boland Thieves in the southwest."

Rulans's eyes fell on Baron Corian Hansen, "Corian, what did I tell you back then?"

Corian's expression became serious, "My lord, please tell me that we must eliminate the Bolt Bandits as soon as possible."

"Is it eliminated now?"

"No...no."

Lu Lansi chuckled, "Over the years, Wushanbao has supported the nobility in Boulder City and surrounding areas with a lot of food and horses. Not only have you not eliminated the enemy, you have not even regained two pieces of territory. With such a record, what else are you talking about?" Reward?"

Corian lowered his head, "That's what the adults said."

"As for the Black and Gold Brotherhood in the southeast."

Lulans looked at Orson, "For the same reason, there can be no big rewards until the enemy is eliminated. However, considering that the nobles and knights took back some land, Wushan Castle still carried out rewards for those nobles and knights who have made great achievements. A reward is enough."

"Let's go back to Ronin."

Lu Lan paused for a moment and caught everyone's attention. "His contribution is not only to save Princess Blanche, but also to resolve a huge disaster in Wushan Territory."

If Blanche is killed, someone will definitely take the opportunity to stir up a conflict between the royal family and the Wushan Territory. The Wushan Territory will definitely be in turmoil by then, which is not good for most people.

So Lu Lansi said that there was no problem with Luo Ning resolving a huge disaster in Wushan Territory.

"You have a point."

Orson agreed with some of Rulans's remarks, "But I still think it is enough to make Ronin a viscount and assign the Thane territory to him."

He stressed: "The Wubei Territory is too big, and it seems inappropriate to allocate it all to Luo Ning."

Lulans shook his head, "Although Wubei Territory is large, most of it is a barren land full of dangers. When Shanlin Town was still a land of no one, those pioneering knights would rather choose manors elsewhere than become The Lord of Hillwood Town.”

"All right."

Orson showed a helpless look, "Your Majesty, the Marquis, is still the same as before. It is difficult for us to change your decision."

"Then why don't you have a competition?"

Count Jesus, who was sitting next to Blanche, had been silent since he came in, but he didn't expect to speak at this time.

There was a playful smile on his face, and his eyes looked back and forth between Lulans and Orson.

"Oson, didn't you follow Rulans because you lost in the competition? And I heard that the several disagreements you had later were through competition. Whoever wins will listen to whoever wins."

Jesus smiled and said: "After so many years, it is rare for you to have such an opportunity. I think it is better to have a competition. And Orson, I heard that your strength has improved recently?"

Everyone was shocked.

Orson has been a gold-level knight a long time ago. If his strength improves, wouldn't he be promoted to a meteor-level knight?

Many people frowned secretly, this is not a good thing.

Luo Ning's face was serious at the moment. This Jesus was obviously here to cause trouble.

Rulans has lived in seclusion for many years and has never publicly used force due to injuries. This is a well-known fact.

Now asking him to spar with Orson is clearly trying to embarrass him.

I cannot agree to this discussion.
