Chapter 283: The Title of Wind Chaser and Count of Moon Phase
The details of Rand's campaign to annihilate the Anti-Development Committee were finally summarized in Frost Moon Royal City.
The nobles and king of Frost Moon City had made many assumptions when they first received the battle report.
But now that the battle details have been summarized, it’s a bit difficult to understand.
Rand sent out one of his generals to kill the legendary hero Alex.
Rand summoned a strong wind that blew the enemy so far that they lost their way.
There were also enemies who opened the city gates themselves and helped Rand break into the city.
And this happened to seven or eight castles in a row.
The battle details were sent by the knights from the south.
The king and the great nobles in the country also placed their own people in the south.
It stands to reason that it cannot be written randomly.
But the details of the battles that the nobles and the king gathered together were similar.
In short, it's inexplicable.
In the king's council hall, the king sat in the first seat, and many nobles watched the details of the battle in silence.
So Rand is the King of the North Wind? This is obviously impossible.
Rand had been to the royal city before, and there were at most elite professionals, no more.
It's not like this Earl of Land hasn't won major military victories in the past, but those were understandable.
After reading the battle report, the nobles in the country suddenly realized how Rand won the victory.
They may not be able to do it to the same extent as Rand, but it is understandable.
But this time, it’s hard to understand.
"Anyone have any ideas?" the king asked.
In the meeting hall, the nobles looked at each other and no one spoke.
"Then let's move on to the next topic." The king said with a straight face. He certainly didn't know the specific situation. Rand also wrote a battle report, but it was very brief. It was about the enemy general being weak and Rand sent people to kill him, and then use the wind to defeat the enemy.
The purpose of this meeting was not to discuss the military principles of the battle, but to decide on Rand's reward.
From now on, Rand's rise is inevitable.
Moreover, this time, the opinions of the country's great nobles were unusually unanimous.
Letting Rand guard the southern border is a suitable choice.
The future situation is bound to be changeable. At present, with the gold mine war, the tide of the undead, and the changes in the north, the stability of the past is bound to fade away.
As for the Southern Kingdom Round Table Alliance that may strike back at any time, it is necessary to have a sufficiently strong military noble stationed at the border.
And now is the perfect time.
The king's original idea was to let the three nobles, Pero, Rand, and Shelan, jointly develop the southern border, but now it has evolved into Rand being the only one in power. This is not unacceptable, but it needs to be restrained.
"We will need to strengthen our national defense on the southern border, and..."
The Frost Moon Kingdom borders the Lunsa Kingdom and the Bolun Kingdom, and there are also several great nobles in the southern border.
It’s just that Rand’s current territory is the most prominent and at the forefront of the conflict.
Now it is necessary to support Rand, the new earl, to avoid losing the land that he has conquered with great difficulty, and to remind other great nobles in the south to avoid a situation where Rand remains the only powerful one.
Otherwise it would not be good for the internal stability of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
After the discussion, the question of rewarding Rand came up.
In the past, once the issue of land granting was involved, it was bound to be a dispute, and it was common for the nobles to refuse to give up an inch of land.
But this time there is nothing to discuss.
All of them were conquered by others. Rand was a pioneer nobleman and had direct ownership of the land he had conquered. He did not need to go through any formalities.
Now they just give a title.
"Then let's follow Earl Rand's own wishes and make that piece of land Earl of Moon Phase." Seeing that no one had any objections, the king made the decision directly.
There is one last thing.
Prince Alex, killed by Rand.
Obviously the king of the Kingdom of Bolun will not give up.
After all, it is rare to find such an outstanding son with outstanding abilities.
The king and some of the great nobles present may not want Rand to continue to develop at such a rapid pace.
After all, Rand has reached a stage where it is difficult to continue to reward him.
If he goes any higher, he may only be given actual marquis treatment like the Black and Brown Marquis.
Rand is destined to have its own influence in domestic politics and a certain say in domestic military affairs.
This of course affects the interests of the domestic nobility.
But now the possibility of revenge from the King of Bolen Kingdom is very high. If Rand is suddenly killed, it will be even more unacceptable to the king and the nobles.
The Frost Moon Kingdom has all its allies to the north, so it can only go south if it wants to develop. Rand has just set an example. If he is killed, the development plan of the Frost Moon Kingdom may be ruined halfway.
"Then what about the safety of Count Moon Phase?" The king glanced at everyone.
"I met the King of Borun when I was young." King Frost Moon said, "He should be impatient and will probably take revenge on Rand in a short period of time."
"The Thorn family can provide support." Thorn, who had been silent, spoke up.
His aunt is a powerful top-level professional.
Now Rand is already an earl, but still unmarried. This opportunity cannot be taken away by those two cunning men, the Marquis of Black and Brown or the Earl of the Stag.
Now is a good opportunity to marry Rand.
His aunt was almost fifty years old, but as a powerful top-level professional, she was in very good shape.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He looks to be in his thirties, and after all, he is a top-level professional and a direct descendant of the Thorn Family.
Earl Rand has just been promoted, and he must be in need of people everywhere. He would definitely look up to a powerful, noble, and wise top-level professional.
As for if Rand disliked his aunt's old age, that was not a problem.
The Lord of Thorns would not stop Rand from finding a lover or a partner.
He would also give his aunt a legitimate daughter in case she got too old to have children.
At that time, all we need is Rand's eldest son, who has the bloodline of the Thorn Family.
Everything is ready, Rand will definitely not refuse.
He was determined to win this marriage.
Grand Duke of Thorn had heard about the domestic nobles' marriage plan for Rand a long time ago, but they were too shameless and had no means at all.
Duke Thorn sneered in his heart.
Of course the king knew what the Duke of Thorn was thinking. In fact, he also wanted to marry the princess to Rand.
But he was afraid of it.
Rand's ability is too strong, and if the princess really marries him.
Wait until he dies.
Rand himself had no inheritance rights.
But Rand's son would.
If Rand launched a war of thrones, that would be possible.
The probability of this happening is very small.
But somehow, the king was still worried, so he did not take any concrete action, nor did he stop the Duke of Thorn's strategy.
The other great nobles present had no idea of the shamelessness of the Duke of Thorn.
After all, with the current status of the Grand Duke of Thorn, there is almost nothing that requires him to swallow his pride, so no one is very clear about the Grand Duke of Thorn's character.
They also plan to form an alliance with Rand, and some of them have actually already tried it.
Now they have decided to step up their efforts.
…
A new earl was born in the Frost Moon Kingdom, Earl Rand of the Moon.
Now, in nearly three years, Rand has gone from being an unknown cult sacrifice to a powerful earl.
In this world, the earl is considered a great noble.
Going up, apart from the marquis who is just a figurehead most of the time, there is only the grand duke.
As for the king, at least for now, the royal blood is still sacred.
Along with the news that Rand became the new earl, the story of his deeds in that battle also spread.
Harnessing the wind to destroy the enemy may not sound logical, but it is very legendary.
And killing a legendary hero is also a very legendary thing.
Although it is not clear whether Rand did it himself, it does not prevent the glory from going to Rand.
Now, Rand is also a legend in the Frostmoon Kingdom.
