Kaledia's voice was a little sharp, but he could feel it. He was very accurate in reading the imperial edict and his language was filled with emotions.
The first imperial edict is issued to the entire Third Division. Each alive soldier receives 200 gold coins. Beheading ten ordinary Roman soldiers can obtain the title of third-class light cavalry, and beheading twenty ordinary soldiers can obtain the title of second-class light cavalry. Beheading ten soldiers of Roman Central Army can become third-class heavy cavalry, and more than twenty can become second-class heavy cavalry.
The two are mixed and do not superimpose each other, but a portion of gold coins can be given as compensation. Regarding the pension for the fallen soldiers, each family can receive five hundred gold coins.
When David Mo heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The imperial court's reward was very decent, at least it would not disappoint the hearts of the soldiers who died for the country.
As the nominal supreme commander of the Third Division, Yurien accepted this imperial edict on his behalf, and everyone around him showed a faint feeling.
Caredia and Zolbenya pondered slightly, but they knew in their hearts how much effort the emperor had put into this decent reward.
Then Kalydya took out a volume of imperial edict again, and heard him chanting in a deep voice: "The God of Light shines everywhere, the Holy Empire is prosperous: Yurien, the deputy commander of the Third Division, is calm in the face of danger, is well-organized, and has made great contributions to the great victory of Gerben. He was specially promoted to the General of the Central Army of War! He was awarded the title of Second Class Marquis!"
Yurien almost cried with joy. The General of the Ministry of War was a third-rank official and was a powerful figure in the Yanjing War Department.
As for the title, he was originally a third-class marquis, but now he has become the second-class. With his contributions, he could not get such an honor, so he could not think of it except to sigh at the mighty emperor's grace.
Seeing his eyes flushed, Kalydia smiled faintly and said, "Marquis Julian, don't kneel stupidly, thank you for your order!" Yulian quickly wiped his tears, and while calling for the emperor's grace, he took the imperial edict from Kalydia.
The rewards were still in an orderly manner. Ilia was promoted to supervise from the Third-rank Military Affairs Office and was awarded the title of third-rank Marquis. Nicolas was also promoted to supervise from the Military Affairs Office, but the title did not change.
However, they were both very satisfied with this, because at least they didn’t have to continue to worry about guarding the border. The prosperous world of Yanjing is where they yearn for.
The appointment of deputy heads at all levels has been gradually read out, and the atmosphere in the entire congress hall is extremely active. Although everyone still kneels on the ground and dares not get up, all kinds of joy are crying, and cheering is rising and falling along with the volumes of imperial edicts.
Gradually everyone noticed a strange thing. Until the rewards of officers at each battalion level began to be read, there was still no follow-up on the rewards of David Mo.
After Kalydia issued the reward imperial edict from the last battalion commander, he paused, glanced at the people around him, and smiled faintly: "I have been reading for so long, but I have a last box of imperial edicts. When he came, his Majesty personally told me that I must read it in the end."
The entourage behind him handed a wooden box about one foot long. After handing it to him, a purple light suddenly radiated from the entire wooden box. When the people around him saw this scene, most of the incredible eyes were revealed in their eyes.
The imperial edicts lower than the fourth-rank official are not placed in the box. The wooden box of imperial edicts for officials above the fourth-rank official is crimson, while the wooden box of imperial edicts for officials above the second-rank official is purple.
The wooden box in Kalydya's hand is basically a declaration that the imperial edict in this wooden box will bring official positions of second-rank or above to the recipient.
The imperial edict slowly opened. Compared with the silk silk just now, the golden light on the imperial edict was even more shining. Moreover, with the blessing of the diamond-level mage, a surging force surged out, and powerful pressure enveloped everyone's heart for a moment.
The silk slowly unfolded, and everyone fell to the ground again. Kalydya's sharp voice was already a little hoarse. He slowly read: "The God of Light is shining, and the Holy Empire is prosperous: The saints say that if a country has a wise ruler, then a fierce general will come to the world, and this is Amaterasu! Defeat five thieves in a row and kill the duke in formation. If it is not a powerful general, then the universal will be dissatisfied. If it is an extraordinary person, then there will be an extraordinary reward for the extraordinary generals!"
"Mo David, the commander of the Eighth Regiment of the Third Division, has made great achievements in combat and has turned the situation around with his own strength. He is really an extraordinary person! Therefore, he was specially promoted to the commander of the Third Division, and was awarded the title of second-class marquis and his fief of Qiubo City!"
Even though Zolbenya had experienced many storms, he was still shocked by the emperor's imperial edict! A fourth-rank leader was promoted to the fourth-rank leader and promoted to the second-rank real power commander. This is incredible in itself.
However, compared with the later fief Qiubo City, the shocking power of the official position is obviously nothing. Yanjing has never lacked second-class marquis. Although he is also a top noble, there are many more advanced nobles in Yanjing.
However, there are only a handful of nobles who can obtain fiefs. Because fiefs are different from city lords, the fiefs are that this city always belong to the same family, but the city lord can be replaced with the emperor's will.
There are only three families in the empire that have fiefs, namely the Merckdo family in Coleman City; the Havien family in North City; and the Porui family in Liechton City.
They all have one thing in common, all of them have made great contributions to the border and opened up territory for the empire! And they are all named first-class dukes!
Mo David's fingers trembled slightly. He couldn't believe his ears. He was displaced with his father since childhood. He did not settle in Yanjing until he was eight years old. Because of his low status and poverty, he grew up almost in ridicule and abuse when he was young!
Now he has become a second-class marquis with his own fief. All this seems like a dream. He is afraid that one day he will have nothing if he wakes up from his dream!
He was not the only one who was equally excited. When Caredya read it, his voice had trembled slightly, because he had heard Donggeli say in the palace that for this reward from David Mo, the emperor confronted six military ministers all night!
This is why he treated David Mo completely differently, because he knew the truth about Jian in the Emperor's heart, and David Mo was definitely a young hero who was very optimistic about by the emperor.
However, the imperial edict did not end here. Kaledia continued to read: "The defense work in Gerben City was taken over by the First Division, and the commander of the Third Division, David, led the meritorious soldiers of the Third Division back to Beijing to replenish their troops! I'm here!"
Caredia rolled up the imperial edict, put it back into the wooden box again, walked down from the high platform, personally helped David Mo up, and said with a smile: "Marquis, please accept the imperial edict."
David Mo stood up and took the wooden box from Kalydya's hand, suppressed the rolling inside, and said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Xuezhe."
Kalydia looked at David Mo and suddenly nodded, and said hoarsely: "For such a heavy reward, Lord Mo can be so calm, and he is indeed as a general!"
David Mo smiled slightly, disagreed with Kalydya's praise, and then asked: "The handover of Gerben City may take some time. I wonder if the emperor has set a deadline?"
Kalydia thought for a while, shook her head slightly and said, "I didn't specifically mention when I arrived in Yanjing, but the Military Affairs Office stipulates that the handover will not exceed three days. You should know these things better than me."
David Mo nodded and said, "I know the rules of the Military Affairs Office..." Then he stopped pestering this matter and smiled at Caredia, "Honey tea is ready outside the conference hall, why don't I take Xuezhe over and drink a drink?"
Kaledia waved her hand and said, "I'll just go by myself. The Marquis should talk to his colleagues." After that, he turned around and ordered his followers to leave the conference hall with his crowd.
At this time, there were whispers in the hall, and all kinds of congratulations and thanks were heard. Julian was about to come forward to talk to David Mo, but saw Zolpenya walking towards David Mo.
"I have to call you Master Mo now. I guess in two years, I will even call you "Master"." Zolbernya smiled, and although there was a little teasing, it was harmless.
David Mo hurriedly bowed and said, "The Marquis is joking. David never dares to have such delusions. The Marquis's military achievements have been brilliant throughout his life, and he is David's role model!"
Seeing that his eyes were sincere and there was no arrogant after being awarded the title, Zolbernya nodded slightly, patted his shoulder, and praised: "It is neither humble nor arrogant, and it is appropriate to advance and retreat. The emperor really has a keen eye to recognize people."
After saying that, he did not give Mo David a chance to be modest, and then said: "The handover needs to be completed as soon as possible. I need a lot of things. I want all the first-hand information after the war..."
Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, staring at David Mo and said, "Have you led your troops to inquire about Istan City once?"
David Mo didn't expect that he would mention this, and he secretly speculated in his heart: It has only been less than six days since the three arrows were intimidating Istan City. Logically speaking, the memorial has not been passed to Yanjing. How did Zolbernya know?
He turned his head slightly and glanced at Yurien beside him. He suspected that Yurien had leaked the matter and he hesitated: "I have been there once, but I didn't get anything, and I didn't fight any."
A smile appeared on Zolbernya's lips, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Just have it, give me the records of the exploration, so that I can see what the Romans really want to do."
Although David Mo didn't know how he could infer it, since he had this need, he was not ready to hide it. He replied immediately: "I will hand over all the information to you as soon as possible."
Zolberbonya then said goodbye to David Mo, and the officers of the First Division followed him. Roberts's face turned pale when he passed by. Although he had already learned from his father that David Mo's reward, he still couldn't accept it!
Yurien would not pay attention to the feelings of a deputy commander. He walked to David Mo and said a little enviously: "Mr. Mo, Qiubo City is the richest city on the Sierre Plain."
David Mo raised his lips and said lightly: "Oh? Is that right? I have never heard of this place before..." His eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Roberts's back, and bursts of cold light flashed!
