The old lion had obviously anticipated the reaction of the ministers, so his face was neither sad nor happy, and his expression was very calm.
Although Jeff was a little mentally prepared, the backlash from the ministers still made him very depressed. If he had contributed so much to the country, how could he not give him some benefits? As for the big man who spoke for him, he must have been on the front line.
The general who fights, the real task of holding military power
Jeff looked at the general with gratitude in his eyes. The general smiled and nodded to Jeff as a greeting.
The ministers below were divided into two groups. Obviously those who supported Jeff were in the minority, but they were all giants, including the king and the holy priest. Although under the pressure of the general, the opposition did not dare to speak louder.
Noisy, but still whispering, there is a strange silence in the hall
The old lion sighed and finally broke the depressing atmosphere: "Stop arguing now, let's continue with the knighting ceremony. Now I will show you Xiaoyao Hou's territory."
A giant map was carried out by several royal guards, and the territory belonging to Jeff was painted with red paint, contrasting with the surrounding yellow and green fields.
When the ministers who opposed looked at the map, their righteous efforts immediately turned into surprise. This was really surprising. How should I put it? The territory allocated to the new noble Xiaoyao Hou was really, really bad.
If there is no war, this territory can be said to be a perfect territory. I am afraid everyone wants to go there. However, the current situation is a bit unsettled. It can be said that we are being attacked on both sides. Let Jeff go to that place. It sounds like he will be the leader of the country.
The first line of defense is loyal to the country, and to put it bluntly, they are thrown to the front line to be used as cannon fodder.
The face of the blond man also became ugly. He should be the one who benefited the most from Jeff, so he withstood the pressure of everyone to support Jeff. Now that he saw that Jeff was assigned such a bad territory, he
Naturally I feel a little embarrassed
The corner of the old lion's mouth curled up slightly: "My dear friends, do you have any objections to the title and territory of Marquis Xiaoyao?"
At this time, the supporters and opponents immediately fell into disarray. The angry ministers all changed their faces collectively, and all turned into gloating joy. I guess they are thinking this in their hearts now: His Majesty the King really made a good plan.
If such a strong person is placed there as cannon fodder, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the local government to break through. Adhering to the fine tradition of adhering to the fine tradition of dead Taoist friends but not poor Taoists, Xiaoyao Hou must be sent there.
"Your Majesty is so wise. Marquis Jeff is very suitable for that territory. I can make it clear. I firmly support His Majesty the King's suggestion. If any of you dare not to support it, I will fight with you!" This voice is flattering enough.
, typical traitor
"Your Majesty is simply the most sage monarch in the world. Marquis Jeff is simply the greatest gift the Beast God has given to the Ren Empire. Thank you Beast God!" No, even the Holy Priest flattered him.
There is even a very "just" minister: "If you don't support Marquis Jeff, just go to that territory yourself!"
"..."
The blond man looked at the farce in the hall with cold eyes, and seriously despised those flattering ministers. These ministers were hopeless. On the one hand, he couldn't see talents being reused, and on the other hand, he only wanted to let others fight, lest the flames of war spread to him. Now he
I am also a little dissatisfied with the king. Although I have just come back, I am still quite satisfied with Jeff. Now the king actually sends such a patriotic man to the front line to be cannon fodder. How can it not make people feel distressed?
The handsome face of the blond man became a little distorted, and he was obviously extremely angry: "Your Majesty the King, I don't agree with the distribution of territory like this. If you insist on this, then go and fight on the front line yourself!" After that!
He took out the tiger charm from his arms and threw it to the ground, then walked out of the council hall.
The general's reaction was obviously beyond everyone's expectations. Even the old lion didn't expect it. Seeing the blond man walking out, he couldn't stop him, so he had to pick up the tiger talisman and install it in frustration.
The ministers of the opposition all looked worried. They didn’t expect that their actions would offend the general. This is really good. You must know that 80% of the Ren Empire’s ability to fight against the Human Empire for so long is due to the general.
The general is really unwilling to lead troops on the front lines. The future of the Renne Empire is worrying.
The old lion also lost interest. He didn't expect that his old friend would react so strongly. He felt a little sad. In fact, this was mainly his own mistake. Logically speaking, he should explain it to his old friend in advance, but the old friend just met him two days ago.
When he arrived at Rennes City, he didn't even have time to say that he wanted to introduce him to Jeff after the knighthood was completed. He didn't expect that the situation would develop like this. It's really a headache.
"Since everyone agrees, then the matter of territory and title has been settled." The old lion looked gloomy and looked a little tired.
Jeff was also a little depressed. He didn't expect that a good thing would turn out like this. When things happened, Jeff must go to the general to explain it.
The knighting ceremony finally ended in a depressing atmosphere. No one walked out of the council hall happy. Jeff was left alone to tell the old lion something.
"Your Majesty the King, who was the general just now?"
The old lion smiled bitterly and said: "That is the current head of the Golden Orangutan Family, my best friend, the general of the Ren Empire... Rexxar, Serum"
Jeff suddenly realized, no wonder the general dared to talk to the old lion like this, and no minister dared to object to his words.
"Your Majesty the King, please tell me the general's address. Don't worry about me going to visit him later. I will definitely take care of it." Jeff said respectfully. He didn't want these two best friends to worry about it.
Falling out because of oneself
The old lion finally had a smile on his face: "Jeff, it's hard for you. Both the Renne Empire and I owe you. When the war is over, I will definitely meet all your requirements. By the way, you can bring the Tiger Talisman with you.
I apologize to Lexa."
Jeff took the tiger charm with both hands, talked to the old lion for a while, and then left in a hurry
Although the territories of the four major families are all outside Rennes City, each family has a courtyard inside Rennes City for family members who come to the capital to live. At this moment, Lexa is in his family's residence.
Now he frowned, obviously still immersed in anger.
"Master, there is a man named Jeff outside who wants to come and see him." A guard came in to report.
Lexa barely suppressed his emotions and said: "Let him in quickly." Jeff quickly walked into the living room and made a warrior salute: "Jeff, Kou, Fox pays homage to the general."
Lexa hurriedly stepped forward to help Jeff up and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, Jeff, today was originally a good day for you, but I messed it up, won't you blame me?"
Jeff smiled bitterly and said: "General, don't say that. Apart from the king, the holy priest and you, there are probably only a few people who really support me."
Rexxar said angrily: "Solagorn supports you? It's a joke! The Holy Priest rarely cares about war. It's just that he doesn't understand. Doesn't Soragon also understand strategy? What he does is completely
I want to push you into a pit of fire! You should also know the current situation of our country. Your territory is attacked from both sides, and you have no power of your own. Are you going to be cannon fodder?"
Jeff shook his head and smiled: "General, you misunderstood His Majesty the King. I already knew my territory before this."
Rexxar obviously did not expect such a situation and hurriedly asked: "Since you know, why don't you refuse?"
Jeff smiled and said: "General, since you know that your territory is the front line, why don't you refuse?"
Rexxar fell into deep thought. He was born and raised as a warrior and leader. It is his destiny to fight on the battlefield. The value of his existence is to protect the Renne Empire. For the sake of the orc civilians, how could he refuse to arrange his family's territory to the front line?
Jeff's expression became serious: "General, I am also an orc. Wherever the country needs me to go, I have to go. If everyone resists and resists like me, then what barrier can our Renne Empire have to continue?"
exist?"
Now Rexxar is no longer just a pity for talent, but has completely fallen in love with this young man. Although this young man is said to be a bit cunning, his feelings towards the orcs and the Renne Empire are exactly the same as his own. Now he has such awareness and title.
, given time, the achievements will be boundless.
"I'm really a little anxious. It seems that Soragon has seen the right person. I'm afraid you are the only one in the entire Renne Empire who is worthy of owning that territory. Are you interested in taking over from me?" Rexxar was obviously interested.
Jeff is interested
Jeff took out the Tiger Talisman from his arms and handed it to Lexa, and then said: "Forget it, I'm busy enough now. Do you know why the king calls me Xiaoyao Hou? That's because I don't like to be restrained.
, But I still want to thank the General for his kindness. His Majesty the King asked me to apologize to you on his behalf, saying that I should have told you earlier. "Rexxa is a little embarrassed. After all, he has a bit of a temper, and he has been under a lot of pressure recently."
"Okay, okay, I'll go find him and explain it clearly to Jeff. I'm very optimistic about you. Are you really not interested in this position? You have to know what it feels like to command thousands of troops."
But it’s very cool.” Lexa’s voice now seemed to be seducing Jeff.
However, Jeff is very self-aware. His little foundation is fine for small fights, but he probably won’t be able to use it on the battlefield.
"Forget it, General, if I am attacked, you must help me more!" Jeff begged.
