"Don't worry about the Sandmen, the Sandmen are just scattered sand. As long as we don't take the initiative to attack, they won't come too much. We must take advantage of this time to break up the Sandmen and build a castle, otherwise there will be no chance."

"As for materials, we have prepared a lot of materials for this war. This time, the sand-man warehouse promoted the offensive, coupled with the success of our auspicious soldiers, the consumption is not large, and it can be used for this."

"I still oppose it. Occupying Blackstone Canyon will cause the Quicksand Empire to be wary. Once the Quicksand Empire's high-level leaders noticed this, the real main force of the Quicksand Empire is simply not something we can resist."

An irritation flashed in the city lord's eyes: "The Quicksand Empire is not as powerful as our Divine Flame Empire, do they dare to go to war with our Divine Flame Empire. You are just alarmist talk."

"No, it is possible. There is only one enemy of the Quicksand Empire, but our Shenyan Empire has more enemies. It is undeniable that we are stronger, but our forces cannot easily be wasted anywhere." The military The high-level officials did not hesitate to fight with the city lord and refused to give in to each other.

At this time, the representatives of the nobles also spoke: "We nobles also oppose it. We cannot put White Rock City in danger. This is irresponsible for the lives of the nobles. Moreover, this kind of plan cannot be left to Baishi City itself."

The noble representative put his hands together: "The result of our discussion is that this plan must be reported to the empire, and whether it is implemented depends on the meaning of the King."

The nobles also jumped out to oppose it. What the city lord did not expect was that so many people would oppose the plan he had finally overcome all the difficulties. This resistance is too great, and there is no other way.

Just when the city lord wanted to fight for reasons, a messenger ran in and handed a copy of the information to the city lord.

The city lord narrowed his eyes, and then said: "Is this true? Has it been determined?"

"The Lord of the City has already been determined, and the badge is also here. You can check the record at any time."

The city lord nodded slightly, took the things over, and then said loudly: "Okay, I will report this matter to His Majesty the King. Now let's put this matter aside and discuss military merits."

With that said, the city lord took out Du You's badge, and then used a crystal plate to release all the pictures recorded on it.

"As you can see, Lord Du You played a very important role in the success of this surprise attack. This is a great contribution to our White Rock City and even to the empire. I propose to give Lord Du You the title of Viscount. , And report at the same time."

"No, I'm against it. The promotion of the title has never been the case where two positions have been promoted at once. Moreover, he is a commoner, not a noble child at all, so the credit should not be counted."

A touch of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the city lord, and the nobles now were completely different from before.

Is there no example of continuous promotion? No, of course there is, but this is the privilege of the nobility. The nobles have made great contributions, and how to reward them will not feel excessive. Especially when the nation was just founded, even if some minor military exploits, their ancestors were able to obtain high noble titles, but now they are not.

The current aristocracy has held the power of the empire for too long. They do not allow new aristocrats to appear, especially those of the civilian class, and they do not allow them to enter their own class.

Even if it was just a small viscount, they didn't approve it. However, the city lord also knew that they would definitely object, so he deliberately raised it so much at once, otherwise the reward would be lower.

The city lord was also a nobleman, but he has always been in White Rock City, in the army. For Du You, who was of the same military background, even if it was only an employment relationship, the city lord valued it more than others.

In the eyes of the city lord, most of the nobles are now some incompetent waste. The ability to add some capable new nobles is very helpful for purifying some of the disadvantages of the nobles.

"In this war, the rear raid occupies a very important position. Without their offensive, there would be no current victory. There would be no stable time for the next ten years or more."

The city lord pointed to the screen and said: "You can see that in the battle at that time, if it weren't for the powerful mage, Lord Du You, these people would have gone to die and would not have much effect. We still have to. If you continue to withstand the siege, there will definitely be more and stronger sand people gathering."

The aristocratic representative knocked on the table: "I have no objection to what you said, but the title of the aristocrat cannot be achieved overnight, otherwise it will breed arrogance. As a new aristocrat, you must respect the older generation of aristocrats."

What's this all about? Many people don't even know what this respect has to do with the promotion of knighthood.

People from the military just watched the show without saying a word. Many of them have noble titles. This is true, but they are not members of the noble family, at least not in their generation. So looking at the disputes among the nobles, they didn't hesitate to watch a good show next to them, but melon seeds and watermelon.

"Don't you see his merits? If such great merits are not well rewarded, then how should other people reward them. And those noble children in this war, I am afraid that their merits are not much."

Involving the interests of their noblesOf course, the nobles can only compromise.

An aristocrat suddenly pointed to the picture and said: "I admit that Lord Du You has done a lot, but he must also be punished. You see, when he casts magic, he completely ignores himself, but covers killing."

In the picture, the magic that Du You finally burst out, the Holy Light Arrow accidentally wounded his own person, and even killed his own person by mistake. There is also the slime swamp before, and some soldiers ran into it, and the scene was poisoned.

Fortunately, in the end, the mucus was ignited and many people were poisoned to death because Du You stayed away and did not record it. Otherwise, these people might have to add this matter to it.

"It's not easy for magic to be activated so quickly. How can there be so much thought to control. This kind of accidental injury is not too big, I believe this is not Lord Du You's own will. But if it wasn't for the full burst of magic, I'm afraid The consequences will be more serious, and even cause the mission to fail, as will be the case when another person is changed."

The two sides look at the problem from a fundamentally different perspective, or the two sides have completely different goals. The city lord wanted to establish a model and encourage the soldiers to do meritorious service, while the nobles simply wanted to suppress the civilian nobles.
