THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 176: A GIFT FROM THE KING
King Azeroth V stared at Myro for a moment before shouting "Baron Myro, you are the most important person in this war, therefore I should definitely appreciate the hard work you put in! With this, I'm giving you the title of Earl!".
Everyone in the room was shocked again because Myro immediately rose as much as 2 levels of noble titles.
Don't see it's only 2 levels, for a noble though, it's very difficult to raise their rank even if it's only 1 level.
Even some nobles need to work for up to 5 generations and gain the approval of the king, before their noble titles can rise by as much as 1 level.
Therefore, Myro who was only 15 years old could become an Earl was already very great. At least Myro got to that position without any background, all the result of hard work and victories he got on the battlefield.
But the people in the room became even more shocked by the words of King Azeroth V next "9 cities and 1 fortress that you got in the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, all of which became additional territory for you, you have to manage it well. In addition, 8 cities in the Northern Province belonging to other nobles were captured by the Orc-Goblin Kingdom during the war even if only briefly, for a while, now that 8 cities have returned to our hands the Kingdom of Azeroth so I decided to give them to you too! From now on, Earl Myro will manage 1 fortress and 20 cities, don't let me down!".
"Thank you, your majesty!", Myro replied excitedly.
His noble title rose by as much as 2 levels already very well, now Myro also managed to get around 20 cities as his territory, as well, the number is far more than the city in the Cavalry Province where the Myro region was previously located.
King Azeroth V continued to speak "As the Kingdom of Azeroth gained 10 new territories, I determined all of Earl Myro's territories to be part of the Cavalry Province. 8 cities that previously belonged to the Northern Province, I decided to make all of Earl Myro's territories part of the Cavalry Province, it is now part of the Cavalry Province. Not only that, I gave Earl Myro the post of military governor of the Cavalry Province, he could mobilize all military forces in the Cavalry Province".
"However, Earl Myro's ability in the previous war had proven he could withstand an attack from the Orc-Goblin Kingdom without problems, therefore he became a military governor there to make it easier to guard the border. The ensnare who was the Military Governor of the Cavalry Province would now be withdrawn back to the capital, the position he obtained would be determined after he returned".
The man in the room opened his eyes wide in disbelief, however, according to the words of King Azeroth V just now, Myro would become a noble and a military official.
Indeed there were some nobles who joined also to political or military officials, but the numbers were very few and most of those nobles were old noble families who had already protected Azeroth Kingdom for hundreds of years to know like Marquis Gerda.
Now, there are almost no more nobles who get special positions that can take 2 different positions.
Myro himself was surprised, it seemed that he now had the power to utilize all the troops present in the Cavalry Province.
"While gifts I give to heroes, are there still important issues to discuss? If there is no more, the meeting this time will be considered finished" said King Azeroth V staring at all the officials in the room.
Prime Minister Terkop stepped forward "Your Excellency, how do we face the next Orc-Goblin Kingdom? Although they were defeated, but they dared to attack us first so we should have attacked them back. But Earl Myro performed his sister's marriage with King Albert's daughter, how did the next Kingdom of Azeroth act?".
King Azeroth V suddenly realized the problem he had forgotten a little, King Azeroth V did not answer immediately but asked Myro "What do you think, Earl Myro? However your sister plans to marry the king's daughter there, as long as you refuse, I might not attack the Orc-Goblin Kingdom".
Myro knew he could not persuade King Azeroth V not to attack the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, as long as he did, people would regard Myro as a traitor.
Not to mention that the newly gained trust of King Azeroth V will disappear, Myro will not choose such a foolish choice "Your Majesty, everything is your decision whereas I am only following a noble decision. As long as the noble decides to go to war though, no matter what their relationship with my sister is, I will definitely attack the Orc-Goblin Kingdom according to the noble decree. No, even as long as your majesty permits, I will make an attack towards the enemy directly without hesitation".
"Very good, what you said just now was true" said King Azeroth V closing his eyes while thinking before opening his eyes again "I decided the war was stopped, I decided the war was stopped, but we have to send representatives to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom so that their king can compensate them for the money that they caused their attack on us. After all, our Azeroth Kingdom is already too powerful in the Northern Continent, it causes other kingdoms to become even more cautious. They're afraid we'll keep getting stronger and take their territory in the future".
"As long as we dare to seize and destroy the entire Orc-Goblin Kingdom, the other kingdoms around us will definitely start attacking for fear that their kingdom will become the next target. Not that we are afraid to fight them, but the state of government of the Kingdom of Azeroth is now being managed as best as possible so that it should not be disturbed".
Everyone knows the meaning of King Azeroth V's words just now that the Kingdom of Azeroth is now easily broken by the enemy through the princes, so don't fight against other kingdoms just yet, so don't fight against other kingdoms just yet, at least until the whole Kingdom of Azeroth rejoined under the next king who was much younger than King Azeroth V.
"Okay, your majesty!", replied everyone firmly, they knew the noble decision just now was to establish peace with the Orc-Goblin Kingdom that made them not have to bother thinking about war anymore.
Since no one spoke or advised King Azeroth V any more, the meeting of the day was considered to be over, everyone returned to their homes.
On the way away, there were countless officials observing Myro.
They all understood, Myro would most likely become a very influential great noble in Azeroth Kingdom in the future. So they must judge Myro now as to whether to try to get close to Myro or stay away from him so as not to get into trouble from Myro, after all they still do not know the problem of Myro's nature.
