THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 222: THE VICTORY
A week had passed since the 4th Division had been defeated, the news spread throughout the entire Azeroth Kingdom which again made the entire kingdom in an uproar.
The 5th Division tried to kill Carla, but was ultimately defeated. Earl Myro came with help, with Carla and General Herfu, they suppressed and defeated the 5th division rebellion with the 4th division.
Now everyone's attention is on the palace of the Kingdom of Azeroth, where King Azeroth V is located. However many people wondered whether the king was kind and gave the 4th Division a chance, or in the end the king was no different from the cruel and resolute 7th prince.
A reply from the king arrived 10 days later, the letter was sent directly by the prime minister representing the king.
After all, Myro still had to suppress the rebellion in Rayde Province, therefore Myro better not go to the capital but continue to suppress the rebels there.
When he learned of the arrival of the prime minister, Myro who occupied the City of Rayde. Although Rayde City was ruled by Carla and Loir as Grand Duke Rayde, Myro was now the ruler of this city until further decisions from the king arrived.
Besides Carla, Loir and Herfu had already surrendered to Myro, so they had no objections against Myro occupying their territory.
Myro rushed to greet the prime minister at the city gate, he immediately led him towards the Grand Duke Rayde palace located in the city center.
Although Myro managed to win continuously and became the king-backed Earl, he was not arrogant in the face of the prime minister but was friendly and polite.
Seeing Myro's actions, the prime minister's eyes became even sharper.
After all the prime minister was a smart man, at least he was dubbed as the smartest man beside King Azeroth V.
Therefore, he had come here to assess Myro as well, not just to send a letter.
Based on his observations just now, Myro did not have any trace of arrogance that amazed Myro.
Though Myro was still a young man under 20, the young man who gained power as well as continuous victory was generally easy to become arrogant. But Myro did not show any arrogance, but remained friendly.
Myro did not do that out of fear of him, as a smart man then the prime minister knew very clearly, why bother to be rude to others who make the enemy increase? Wouldn't it be better to make others a part of a friend than an enemy?
When I arrived at the palace, Myro invited the prime minister to lunch.
But the prime minister waved his hand and refused, he did not dare to stay here for too long for fear of being deceived by Myro, as happened to King Azeroth V.
If he was young, the prime minister would not be afraid of being tricked because he was sure to see through the deception of the enemy through his intelligence. But now different, he was too old to make himself fooled by the actions of others, let alone the cunning actions that Myro did.
"Earl Myro, I came here not for lunch but to announce the king's decision to you. Therefore, I will not waste any more time because I have to return to the capital, so much work I have to do" said the prime minister unrolling the letter given by the king "Earl Myro, please come forward!".
The prime minister nodded "The noble greatly appreciates Earl Myro's hard work against the 4th and 5th division rebellion, protecting the great noble of the kingdom, Grand Duke Rayde. In addition, Earl Myro was able to provide the best plan for the 50,000 prisoners from the 4th Division. The king acknowledged all the services that the 4th division had rendered, so the 4th division would not be sentenced to death but instead had to be a soldier for the kingdom again. But there was no 2nd chance, as long as the 4th division dared to rebel again, the death penalty was definitely handed down".
"His highness appreciates the actions of the Earl, he decides to grant the Earl the title of Count! The entire Cavalry Province from today will be the territory of Count Myro. But the king felt that raising the title by 1 level was not enough for all the hard work that Count Myro had done, because it was the king who gave the title to Count Myro namely "Victory". Starting today, Count Myro will be referred to as the Victory Count indicating that the Victory Count has never lost on any battlefield".
"Every noble has a title given to the kingdom, so the king gives the Victory Count special forces as well as a gift that symbolizes the title of Victory Count. The King formed a special force called the Victory Squad for the Victory Count, 50,000 troops captured from the 4th division will be made members of the Victory Squad for the Victory Count!".
Myro was very surprised, although his noble title only rose by 1 level, but now he got a special title.
Not all nobles have special titles from kings like Myro who are given the title Victory, for example Marquis Gerda and Grand Duke Rayde even though they do not have this special title.
Those who were granted special titles were only the nobles who managed to make a big move to protect Azeroth Kingdom, Myro was able to fight against 2 divisions and protect the Grand Duke, who was able to protect the kingdom of Azeroth, the king considered these actions to be very protective of the Kingdom of Azeroth from destruction.
Therefore, Myro was given a special title as a noble.
The advantage of the special title nobles is that they get a reward in the form of special forces formed by the kingdom, Myro gets 50,000 4th division troops who surrendered, his strength must have increased very rapidly.
Another advantage of special titles is that they may appoint several nobles above the title of Baron.
Any nobleman above the title of Baron then their noble title should be given directly by the king, but there were some small exceptions that were none other than the nobles with special titles.
The king generally granted them some rights to raise nobles over the Barons, but it was very limited.
Moreover, the territory of the nobles they raised had to be given by themselves, so if Myro raised a Baron from his followers, it would be, he had to give up his own territory, the Cavalry Province, which had already belonged to Myro.
The prime minister took another breath "Victory Count was granted the right to raise 2 Barons and 1 Viscount, then sent a report to the kingdom so that the nobles who were appointed would be recorded by the kingdom in order to officially become nobles. But don't forget, as long as the Baron or Viscount subordinate to the Victory Count dares to rebel, the Victory Count as the one who raised them will be punished as well".
"Myro thank you for the noble kindness!", cried Myro firmly.
There is a big difference between nobles and non-noblemen, even if they are mayors like Feld.
Nobles may form their own armies of limited numbers, obtain royal support fees, and be respected by other nobles or military and political officials.
Therefore, Myro was happy to have the opportunity to give his loyal followers a direct royal title, even though Myro knew Azeroth Kingdom would not last long.
