After a moment, Karl reacted suddenly, lowered his head quickly, put his hand on his chest, and said: "Dear Earl of Lens, I, Karl Dias, am willing to be your vassal, to oppose your enemies, and to protect you.

Everything about you! My blade will always point to where you point! From now on, I will be as sincerely loyal to you as a vassal to a lord!"

Listening to Karl's words of swearing allegiance, the smile on Earl Lens's face became even brighter, and he was very satisfied with the other party's actions.

Carl's stunned look just now was noticed by him, which aroused a hint of playfulness in his heart. Even the young man who had always acted calmly was agitated by his reward, wasn't it?

"Oh my God, granting titles, manors and villages? This, this, this..."

"This reward is really too generous!"

Below, the Earl of Lens's reward aroused the excitement of the nobles, and everyone was talking about it for a while.

"This is simply a huge honor."

The eyes of the nobles were almost red, envy and jealousy appeared in their hearts.

"This is how you can get so many rewards. If you capture Fort Lorraine..."

The nobles couldn't help but think that there would be many opportunities for meritorious service in the future, and if Lorraine Castle could be captured, it would be an unparalleled achievement. The Earl would certainly not be stingy with his land, and perhaps a few more would be born.

The Baron might as well.

Sir Dias below was also in tears. His face was filled with joy when he saw his youngest son being conferred. This is the honor of Carl and the honor of the Dias family.

As for Pine, he had an envious look on his face. He was still the quasi-knight, but where was his younger brother? Now he was a real knight, with his own fiefdom. God, that was a manor, and the manor was rich.

It is not comparable to a barren place like Blackthorn Village, and there is also a village as a fief, which has made his brother's life better than that of most knights.

When he thought that he, even the armor on his body and the war horse that he loved were gifts from his younger brother, he felt a little awkward.

Of course, he only has envy for his younger brother, but there is no jealousy.

Karl heard the whispers of the nobles below, and he understood in his heart that this time the reward from the Earl of Lens was indeed too generous, and even exceeded his contribution by a lot. However, he inadvertently glanced at the corner of Sir Charles's mouth.

With encouragement, he understood that many of these were due to Sir Charles.

Fearing that Sir Charles was trying to manipulate him, the Earl of Lens was generous.

Karl secretly rejoiced that it was the right thing to give a gift this time. Fortunately, Sir Charles was the kind of person who would definitely repay something when he accepted it. In fact, he could have accepted the sword and done nothing. This way, he would take advantage of it.

The idle Carl had seen too much in his previous life.

"You should think that I am a member of Sir Charles's faction..." Various thoughts flashed through Karl's mind, but now he really needed to hold Sir Charles' thigh tightly, and reciprocating the other's thigh would not do any harm to him now.

"Very well Karl, you deserve this. As for the knight's ceremony, now is a special period. I will hold it for you after the war is over. I can pay for it." Earl of Lens decided to be a good man and do it to the end. Since

If you win over the other party, it will be a one-stop service.

"Thank you, Lord Count." Karl responded quickly.

"Okay, you go down first." Earl of Lens nodded and said.

Karl responded and returned to Sir Dias, and his father and brother immediately came over.

"Carl, congratulations. Now you are a real knight. You have brought honor to our family. I never thought that one day my son would be able to obtain an entire manor and village. This is really a great honor.

." Sir Dias patted Karl's shoulder and said proudly.

"I don't remember that I brought such an honor to the Dias family." Pine continued, but the sourness in his words could be heard.

"Pine, my son, being jealous of your brother is not a character that a knight should have. I believe you can also make a career in the world." Sir Dias shook his head, but in the end he comforted him. After all, Pine is the only one.

He is the one who inherits his title.

"My brother, I just had some good luck. With your bravery, you will definitely achieve greater achievements than me in the future." Karl also said, he did not want to ruin the relationship between himself and his brother.

"Ha, my brother, do you think I will be jealous of you? No, no, no, I just hope that when I lead the army belonging to my castle and pass by your manor, I can go to your place to replenish food, hahahaha." Pine said.

He waved his hand.

Karl was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Of course that's no problem. I would also be honored if I could entertain Earl Pine."

"Don't worry, you will see that day." Pine gently hit Karl's chest.

Seeing how harmoniously his two sons got along, Sir Dias also had a kind smile on his face.

At this time, Baron Thors' eyes were like poisonous snakes, looking at Sir Dias and his family who were in the midst of joy.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to feel something. He quickly put away his sight and lowered his head.

The Earl of Lens lowered his eyes slightly, as if he understood something, and no longer looked at Baron Thors, but he already had a grudge against him in his heart.

…

After returning to the residence of the Dias family from the main tent, Sir Dias took another pot of malt wine to celebrate with his sons. After all, such happy events are rare in life.

"Father, I still don't know where my fief is?" Karl asked after taking a few sips of ale.

"Are you talking about Silder Manor and Silder Village?" Sir Dias thought for a moment.

"Remember that I told you before coming here that the Count of Lens has two castles?" Sir Dias said.

"I remember that one was Rensburg, and the other should be what the Earl of Rens called Winterburg today." Karl recalled.

"Yes, the other one is Winterburg, a border castle. The Wintershire it rules is the westernmost border of our entire principality. And if I remember correctly, the Sylde Manor granted to you by the Earl of Lens is in

There is a manor on the other side of the border in Winter County, and the same is true in the village of Sylde." Sir Dias took a swig of a glass of ale.

The alcohol content of the contemporary wine was not high at this time, so Karl was not afraid of a hangover.

"Border?" Karl took a breath.

"Well, it is indeed the border. It seems that you are going to become a border noble." Sir Dias shook his head.

"Father, I heard that the Flor people in the west are very cruel." Pine answered.

"Yes, the Flo people often come to harass the border and rob farmers. They don't believe in the Lord. They only believe in their cruel false gods and only know how to kill." Sir Dias said bitterly.

"God, doesn't that mean that Karl may have to face the threat of the Flo people?" Pine said in surprise.

Sir Dias pondered for a moment and said: "I'm afraid so, but don't worry too much. The defensive capabilities of the manor are beyond your imagination. It is impossible for the Flor people to break into the manor, and the Flor people usually come to plunder farmers.

They are just small troops, your brother may be able to handle them."

"Don't worry, father, I will definitely be able to deal with those Flor people. Those Flor people who dare to come to plunder the farmers in my territory, I will definitely make them run away with nothing to eat!" Karl was quite confident.

"Karl, don't be too proud. Although the Flo people only come to plunder in small groups, they also cause headaches for many border nobles. Even the Earl is often restless because of the Flo people. Otherwise, you

Not only an army of five or six hundred people besieged Fort Lorraine, but an army of more than a thousand people besieged Fort Lorraine. In order not to be seized by the Florians, the earl left half of his troops to guard Winter.

You will know how difficult the Flo people are."

Seeing Karl's confidence, Sir Dias couldn't help but remind him that he was afraid that his youngest son would become complacent because of his temporary success and fame, and the wine was not good.

Karl immediately put on an expression of humility and acceptance. He knew that what his father said was right, and he could not underestimate the enemy that even the Earl of Lens had to deal with seriously.

"What are you afraid of? Maybe I can help you fight off those Flo people then." Pine patted his chest and said.

"Haha, if Brother Pine is willing to take action, I will hand over all my future troops to your command. With your bravery, those Florians are nothing to mention." Karl also laughed, and flattered him a little by the way.

"Of course, no problem!" Pine nodded proudly.

"By the way Karl, now that you are a knight and have your own fiefdom, you are already qualified to make your own family crest." Sir Dias seemed to have just thought of this and said.

"My family coat of arms?" Karl also responded. The second son has a title and is considered a new family. He is now the patriarch of this branch.

"I remember there is a good heraldry maker in Rensburg. Maybe you can go and meet him after the war." Sir Dias suggested.

"Okay, I understand, father." Karl nodded. At the same time, he also planned to find someone, that is, Allen, who originally provided the razor nails. He wanted to bring this young man to his territory. Maybe he

Your wonderful ideas can provide you with more help.

"What kind of coat of arms do you plan to design?" Sir Dias asked.

"What kind of coat of arms..." Karl thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

"I want to still use the eagle as the main body of the coat of arms, and use blue as the main color. The eagle symbolizes the Dias family and blue symbolizes the sky." Carl said.

"An eagle soaring in the sky? Not bad." Sir Dias nodded, and he was quite satisfied with the design.
