As soon as Gozewen finished speaking, Jacob took two steps forward and said loudly:
"In this rescue battle of the Kingdom of Lunde, 7 knights appeared who were qualified enough to participate in this merit-based reward meeting! Next, I will read out the names of these 7 people one by one. Please read the names of those who
Come forward!"
Not everyone can participate in the Britannia Empire's "Meeting of Merits and Rewards".
There will be specialized people who will approve the military merits of each person during the battle. Only those who have achieved sufficient military merits can participate in the "Meeting of Merits and Rewards".
Two months ago, in the counter-insurgency battle commanded by Su Cheng, although all five captains under his command were fighting hard at that time, the military merits achieved by the five of them were still not enough to participate in the "Merit and Reward Conference".
Therefore, only Su Cheng was qualified to participate in the "Meeting on Merits and Rewards" two months ago.
Because the conditions for participation in the "Meeting on Merits and Rewards" are so stringent, the number of participants in each "Meeting on Merits and Rewards" after a war is only handful.
Generally speaking, only 3-4 people can participate in each "Meeting of Merits and Rewards".
As for the "Merit and Reward Conference" held in the Lund Kingdom rescue battle, seven people were able to participate! This can be considered extremely rare.
Jacob took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, cleared his throat, and shouted:
"First of all, number one! John Carr, deputy commander of the 1st Army in this rescue battle for the Kingdom of Lund! Please come forward!"
When the name was called, the deputy commander of the 1st Army, John Carr, blushed, and his eyes burst with excitement that could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried.
John Carr is already in his thirties and has served in the military for more than ten years. Despite his long military service, he has never participated in a merit-based reward meeting in these more than ten years.
In every merit-rewarding meeting in the past, he could only stand silently in the queue of knights, watching other colleagues being called by name and then walking forward.
But now, he no longer has to sit quietly in the queue of knights like before! He can finally be called by name in the merit-based reward meeting, and then step forward to receive the reward!
Why isn't John happy? Why isn't John excited?
With his face flushed and the joy in his eyes that could not be hidden, John strode out of the queue of knights and walked forward.
As he walked forward, John's peripheral vision caught sight of Su Cheng standing at the front of the knights' queue.
John saw the corners of Su Cheng's mouth slightly raised, looking at him with a faint smile on his face.
Su Cheng's expression seemed to be saying to John: Congratulations!
Looking at Su Cheng's young face with a faint smile, a look of gratitude appeared on John's face.
John cast a grateful look at Su Cheng.
John knew very well that the main reason why he was qualified to participate in the merit awards conference this time was because of Su Cheng's wise command!
Without Su Cheng, it would be very difficult to say whether they would win or lose in the Lund Kingdom rescue battle! At the same time, it was precisely because of Su Cheng's ingenious strategy to carry out the annihilation battle against Allen's army in the Wei River that it became possible
He, John, has a stage where he can make military exploits!
Therefore, John is very grateful to Su Cheng!
After casting a grateful look at Su Cheng, John withdrew his gaze and continued to stride forward.
Soon, John walked up the nine steps, came to Gozevin and Jacob, and then knelt down on one knee.
After John knelt down on one knee, Jacob continued to look at the paper in his hand and said loudly:
"Twin Oak Knight John Carr! In this rescue battle of the Kingdom of Lund, he assisted the commander of the 1st Army William Andy to command the soldiers of the 1st Army! On the Wei River battlefield, he led the soldiers of the 1st Army to kill the enemy bravely.
!After the battle began, he took the lead and led the cavalry of the 1st Army to launch a fierce attack and wiped out countless enemies. I even killed 16 enemies with my own hands! He made great contributions in this rescue battle of the Kingdom of Lund! For our Britannia
Niya has made great contributions!”
"In gratitude for the outstanding contribution of John Carr, Knight of the Double Oaks! We have decided to award a gold medal of 2 million British pounds! A certificate of appreciation is given!"
After saying that, Ge Zewen stood up, took a piece of gold-plated paper from a guard beside him, and then walked slowly to John.
This gold-plated paper is a certificate of thanks.
The Emperor's Certificate of Appreciation is a very rare thing in the Britannia Empire.
Many knights and civil servants have spent their whole lives and worked hard, but they may not be able to get a certificate of thanks from the emperor.
In terms of preciousness, a certificate of appreciation is enough to be used as a family heirloom, a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation!
At this time, John's face was also filled with joy that was about to overflow. He raised his hands respectfully, and then said loudly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
Then, Ge Zewen smiled, placed the certificate of thanks in his hand on John's raised hands, and said:
"Thanks a lot."
After John received the certificate of thanks, Jacob turned his attention back to the paper in his hand.
"Then the next hero! William Andy, commander of the 1st Army in this rescue battle for the Kingdom of Lund! Please come forward!"
The commander of the 1st Army whose name was called, just like John just now, walked out of the queue with a red face, and then strode forward.
…
One after another, the names of those who had made great contributions in the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom were called out, and then they stepped forward to receive the reward.
Soon, the sixth person was mentioned.
And the sixth person whose name was read was Alyssa!
There is a convention in the Britannia Empire's merit-based reward gatherings, that is, when calling out names for people to come up to receive rewards, they are usually called in order of merit from smallest to largest.
In other words, in the merit-rewarding meeting, the later the person's name is called, the greater the merit will be.
There were only 7 people in total at this merit-based reward meeting, and Alyssa was the sixth person whose name was called to receive the reward. This means that Alyssa stood out during the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom.
The person with the second greatest contribution.
It is worth mentioning that of the five military commanders who participated in this battle, only Enli was not qualified to participate in this merit-based reward conference. The other four military commanders, including Alyssa, all won enough awards to participate in the discussion.
Great achievements in the Merit Reward Conference!
This can only be attributed to Enli's bad luck. He was seriously injured before the annihilation battle of Weihe began. When the two armies fought fiercely in Weihe, he could only stay in the rear to recover from his injuries.
Therefore, among the five military commanders, only Enli did not receive any military merit.
Not only did he not receive military honors, he also suffered serious injuries that required half a year of training to recover.
Now Enli is lying at home, unable to even come to the meeting hall.
After Alyssa's name was called to receive the reward, only the last one among the seven people was not called.
According to the convention of "the later the name is called, the greater the credit will be", this last person will undoubtedly be the biggest contributor in this battle!
Everyone in the conference hall knew who the last person was.
"Then, the last one! The new knight Su Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the entire army in the rescue battle of the Kingdom of Lund! Please come forward!"
When Jacob called out the last person's name, his voice was louder than the previous 6 times, and at the same time, it was more emotional than the previous 6 times.
After hearing his name being called, Su Cheng kept a faint smile on his face and slowly walked out of the queue of knights.
Bathed in the admiration, admiration, adoration, envy, jealousy, etc. of the people behind him, he slowly walked forward.
Because Su Cheng was standing at the front of the queue of knights, he quickly stepped onto the nine steps, passed the six people kneeling on the ground, stood at the front of the six people, and then stood alone
Kneel down.
After Jacob looked at Su Cheng who was kneeling on one knee with gratified eyes, he moved his eyes back to the paper in his hand.
"The new knight Su Cheng! In this rescue battle for the Kingdom of Lund, after the death of the coach Nicolas Alva, when the whole army faced the most critical moment, he bravely and decisively stood up! Turn the tide! Take over the reins
He took the position of commander-in-chief of the entire army! He led the entire army to lead the enemy troops to Weihe River, and used bold strategies to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation in Weihe River, wiping out 80,000 enemy troops! And captured the enemy troops alive.
General Alan Jones!”
"In this rescue battle for the Kingdom of Lund, we achieved the greatest military exploits! We made great contributions to our Britannia! It greatly increased the national prestige of our Britannia!"
As Jacob recounted Su Cheng's performance in the rescue battle of the Kingdom of Lunde, many young knights in the queue of knights below were breathing heavier at this time, looking up at the knight who was receiving the reward.
Su Cheng's eyes became more and more fanatical.
After all, Su Cheng's performance in the rescue battle of the Lunde Kingdom was so wonderful and passionate. His brave gesture of taking the initiative to stand up when the whole army was in danger, his heroic gesture of leading the whole army to turn the tide, that heroic gesture of leading the whole army to turn the tide.
His wise gesture of using clever strategies to defeat the enemy inspired many young passionate knights.
Su Cheng also didn't expect that he would become the idol of many people unconsciously.
"In gratitude for Su Cheng's outstanding contribution!" Jacob continued to shout, "I have decided to give 8.5 million heroes in gold! Give me a sword!"
After Jacob shouted "sword", many people in the meeting hall couldn't help but take a breath.
A "sword" is something more precious than a "certificate of thanks".
A "letter of thanks" is considered extremely precious and can be used as a family heirloom.
So the value of the "sword", which is more precious than the "certificate of thanks", is self-evident.
Ge Zewen took a dagger from the guard next to him that was studded with gems from the hilt to the guard to the scabbard, and then walked up to Su Cheng.
And Su Cheng quickly raised his hands respectfully.
Ge Zewen put the gem-encrusted dagger in Su Cheng's hand, and then said with a smile:
"Su Cheng, thank you for your hard work! Without you, whether our merit-discussing and rewarding meeting could be held is still a question."
After hearing Ge Zewen's words, Su Cheng showed a faint smile and said modestly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Your Majesty, your words are serious."
And when they saw Su Cheng taking the sword, and everyone in the meeting hall thought that the merit-discussing and rewarding meeting was about to end, Jacob suddenly said loudly:
"at the same time"
At this time, everyone in the meeting hall realized in shock that the reward for Su Cheng was not over yet!
I don’t know if Jacob did it on purpose, but he paused for a long time before he started to speak again.
At this time, the corners of Jacob's mouth slightly turned up slightly, revealing a complicated smile mixed with relief, happiness and other emotions.
Su Cheng, Su Cheng...you are indeed...a rare genius in a thousand years!
After Jacob sighed in his heart, he took a deep breath, and then continued to shout loudly:
Chapter completed!
