At this moment, Marquis Daniel had already learned the good news that Krober was promoted to Viscount. He was not surprised by this because everything was within his expectations.
As early as when he attacked the Holy Beast Island, he had made a rough observation of the island.
Although the island is not large, it is more than enough to be a viscounty.
If one were to stick to the legal provisions, the island would be large enough to be divided into two viscounties of the smallest size.
Fortunately, I wisely agreed to let Krober join the Dragon's Breath Knights, otherwise he would not have been able to obtain the title of Viscount so smoothly.
Although some family support was used in the process, so what?
As long as other family members have the same strength and luck, he will do his best to support them in expanding new territories.
Compared to those incompetent lords who couldn't even defend their own territories, Krober undoubtedly achieved something that most people could hardly achieve.
He became a baron through his own hard work (indeed, by himself), conquered the Holy Beast Island with the help of a small number of family soldiers, and was then promoted to viscount.
And Krober did not borrow the money for free, he also paid a fee.
Thinking of Leo, with whom he had signed a partnership contract, Marquis Daniel couldn't help but smile.
"Congratulations, Viscount Krober. I never thought you'd be promoted to Viscount in such a short time. It's truly surprising that you could communicate with me on an equal footing during national events."
As a direct vassal of the Grand Duke, Krober is indeed qualified to communicate with Marquis Daniel on an equal footing, but this is also the reason why Marquis Daniel gives him face. If Krober was just an ordinary viscount, Marquis Daniel would not waste so much time.
But after all, Krober is Marquis Daniel's most beloved grandson, and Krober's own value has been demonstrated. No one will underestimate a young man who won the title of baron at the age of seventeen with his own ability.
Even the Marquis is no exception.
"Have you broken through to Earth Knight?"
As a Sky Knight, Marquis Daniel possesses a strong sense of perception, which is a manifestation of his mental strength reaching a certain level.
"Yes, I achieved a breakthrough the night before yesterday, consolidated my progress yesterday, and am here to attend His Excellency the Grand Duke's birthday party today."
Krober did not hide his thoughts from others, nor was he interested in playing dumb. Strength was meant to be demonstrated, and he had no time to waste on people who were not even Earth Knights.
When you reach a certain level, you should speak words that suit your level.
When you are an official knight, you need to keep a low profile. When you are a great knight, you need to show your ability and keep a low profile. When you become an earth knight, you need to show your edge appropriately, but still keep a low profile.
As for the Sky Knights, it can only be said that the Sky Knights are not the ones who can influence the outcome of the war between the two countries, so they also need to keep a low profile.
But being low-key doesn't mean pretending to be timid. It's okay for me, a formal knight, to pretend to be timid, but why should I, an Earth Knight, also pretend to be timid?
In that case, wouldn't my promotion be in vain?
Only by showing your own strength and making the enemy unable to resist can you truly conquer the enemy without fighting.
Well... except for Sky Knight, Phantom Knight, and Dragon Knight, because I, Krober, can't beat them!
In fact, if the Sky Knight didn't fight while flying, Krober would have dared to challenge him. It was indeed that the combat power bonus given to him by the 720 base stations in his body was too strong. Without considering the bonus of other equipment, his current combat power was probably about six times that of Earl Stephen.
Note: The fulcrum constructed by Earl Stephen is about one hundred and twenty.
Moreover, although the Earth Knight did not awaken any new traits during this breakthrough, the "recovery" trait awakened by drinking the medicine was beyond Krober's expectations.
Currently, Krober has four types of fighting spirit traits:
Sharp, tough, high temperature, and recovery, these four.
"By the way, Grandfather, how is your relationship with Leo going? Are you confident that you can become a Phantom Beast Knight?"
Krober asked the question that he wanted to ask most. The Grand Duke would be going to war soon. If Marquis Daniel could become a phantom beast knight, it would increase his chances of survival on the battlefield.
It’s not that Krober is pessimistic. It’s mainly a war between countries. The top combat forces are dragon knights, and the high-end combat forces are fantasy beast knights. Although sky knights are not cannon fodder, they can only be regarded as the backbone at most.
If you are unlucky and get accidentally injured, the entire Golden Rose family will most likely be stripped of the title of Marquis.
After all, the most basic requirement for becoming a marquis is to have one or more powerful sky knights. If not, he can only be demoted back to an earl.
"It's OK. Although Leo is proud, he's very obedient to those who can conquer him. He also admires those who have courage, so we've developed a very good relationship. However, I've been training Leo at all costs recently, but he's still a little far from becoming a mythical beast. I guess I'll have to wait a few more months."
Hearing this, Krober lowered his head in disappointment.
"What's wrong? Why do you have that expression?"
Marquis Daniel could naturally sense that his grandson suddenly became depressed when he learned that he still had some time to become a phantom beast knight.
Kroeber didn't say much.
He knew this was not the time to speak. The crowd was buzzing, and Grand Duke Veronica hadn't yet declared war. If he spoke rashly, he might cause unnecessary trouble. Better to remain silent and wait for the right opportunity before making his decision.
