In the Name of the Queen

The day after the Battle of the Canal, Dai Long happily walked into the Governor's Mansion and reported the results of the battle to Roland.

"Governor, our army won a great victory last night. A total of 57 Sirens were killed, 90 were injured, and a total of 471 prisoners were captured, including the wounded."

"The Siren leader Luther was killed by me personally, and Munia was captured alive after you shot down her weapon."

"In addition, a total of weapons were seized."

Dai Long's excitement was beyond words.

Roland's face was not very happy.

The report only briefly mentioned the casualties of their own side, but Roland saw it clearly.

At least 19 soldiers were killed by the Siren Guards, and more than 30 were injured.

Compared to the brilliant results, the number of casualties is indeed not high.

But this is not the result Roland wants.

He wants to completely crush and win completely.

He is very dissatisfied with this number of casualties.

The crushing game is like this, what should they do in the unfavorable game? They still have a long way to go before they can become elite.

Seeing Roland's statement, Dai Long felt a little guilty. He lowered his head slightly, as if he wanted to understand something, and quickly added softly: "Governor, the victory of this battle is naturally due to the Queen's personal supervision of the battle and the singing to boost morale. The second is your proper planning and prediction of the enemy's actions. Finally, the soldiers fought bravely and fearlessly. I just made a small contribution." Seeing Dai Long so humble, Roland smiled and patted his shoulder, and said loudly: "General Dai Long, your command and response ability is excellent. Her Majesty and I have seen it." Roland's words made Dai Long feel warm in his heart and almost cried. Is it easy for him? To stand out in the Sussex Army, you need not only ability, but also connections and qualifications. He has the ability, but no strong backer. After many years of hard work and hard work, he was finally promoted to brigadier general, but was assigned overseas. He has no choice. If he doesn't go overseas, he will always be a colonel; if he wants a star on his shoulder, he has to go overseas. Dai Long came without any hesitation.

He was already 37 years old. This was not an impulse, but a consideration made after careful consideration.

The peace agreement between Sussex and the continental powers will expire in half a year.

Although most people believe that the countries will compromise, what if the talks fail?

War is the best opportunity for soldiers to improve.

He is gambling.

He is gambling that all countries think they can win the next war, and that the emerging powers are unwilling to be satisfied with the existing order.

He gambled right.

Although Her Majesty is young, she is a rare wise ruler.

The Governor is also young, but he is a blessed man.

His efforts have not been in vain as he has been appreciated by the Governor.

After seeing Roland add the score to the performance table on the wall of the office, Dai Long was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

He already has one-fifth of the baron title!

He calculated silently in his heart.

Should he exchange the title of Royal Knight first or save it and exchange it directly for the baron title?

Royal knights are different from ordinary knights. The former are lower-class nobles with fiefs, while the latter are mostly honorary titles without fiefs.

Royal knights were the popular titles at the beginning of the founding of Sussex.

Fiefs cannot be inherited, and the land is taken away after death, unless they are posthumously granted to children after death on the battlefield.

The knight class used to be proud of their contributions to the expansion of the empire. Everyone had a fief and was a landlord.

As the battlefield status of knights declined, the homeland was divided up by the royal family and nobles, and the royal knights with fiefs gradually died out.

The first thing Roland did after becoming governor was to set up a performance system to crazy PUA subordinates.

According to his performance system, barons are not easy to get, so he suggested that Sif activate the title of Royal Knight.

Royal knights are lower-class nobles, but they are not hereditary and can be granted without the approval of Parliament.

As long as Sif is willing and has enough land, she can confer as many titles as she wants.

Whether she is in power or not, it does not prevent her from exercising this power.

This is the law of the ancestors, and no one dares to question it publicly.

According to Roland's standards, the title of knight is automatically obtained when five performance points are reached, without spending points.

Thirty performance points can be exchanged for the title of Royal Knight, and at the same time, a fief of about 50 laborers and 1,000 acres of land can be obtained.

One hundred and fifty to three hundred performance points can be exchanged for the title of Baron and territory. Depending on the size of the barony and the richness of the land, if you make additional military achievements, you can also spend double performance points to upgrade the title to hereditary.

The current upper limit of the PUA performance system is Baron.

As for how to calculate it further, Roland's answer is simple, "Wait until you cross the Baron line."

He did not announce the standard, but it did not mean that he did not give hope.

The performance system made officials and generals in the three overseas provinces excited.

Officers can exchange titles for military achievements, and civil servants' contributions will also be converted into corresponding scores.

According to Roland, civil servants are also contributing to the development of the empire.

Helping the empire to stabilize order by providing more soldiers and developing industry and commerce by providing more weapons and materials, why can't it be considered military merit?

His statement was agreed by all civil servants.

The generals felt that it was not cutting meat from them anyway, and although they were unhappy, they did not object.

After last night's battle, Dai Long was lucky enough to become the first general to collect enough points to become a Royal Knight.

Looking at Dai Long who was a little hesitant, Roland asked with a smile: "General Dai Long, do you plan to use your points to redeem the title of Royal Knight?"

Dai Long hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head.

"My Lord Governor, it's not easy to get performance points. I want to give it a try and see if I have a chance to get enough points for the Baron."

The blazing flame of desire for progress burned in General Dai Long's eyes.

Roland could feel Dai Long's confusion.

Unfortunately, it was a good example of positive publicity. He even prepared double territory for the first lucky person to choose the title of Royal Knight.

if

Roland's eyes suddenly lit up.

He desperately needs a positive example, now, immediately, immediately!

Then give me more discounts.

"General Dai Long, in recognition of your achievements, I have decided to grant you the title of Royal Knight directly without spending additional performance points. Of course, this kind of treatment is only for the first person."

Dai Long was stunned.

Lord Governor, do you mean to give it away for free?

The Royal Knight exchanged for 30 performance points is not worth it, but the Royal Knight given for free is perfect. If there is any problem, it must be his own fault.

Dai Long stood up straight, his lips trembling with excitement.

"I, my subordinates, thank the Governor for his love!"

Roland said with a smile: "No need to thank me. We have to ask Her Majesty the Queen for instructions on this matter. Don't be too happy first."

The smile on Dai Long's lips grew wider.

Her Majesty the Queen approves?

You can be the queen's master, Lord Governor!

Of course, you can only think about this in your heart. If you dare to say it out, the Royal Knight will not even think about it. There is a place for him in the private seat of the Royal Prison.

Dai Long hummed a cheerful ditty and left the Governor's Mansion.

He certainly had reason to be happy.

Royal knights are picked up for free, and their fiefs are larger than the standard version.

Who wouldn’t like the title of whore for free?
