Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 69

"Long live Tanis!"

A group of soldiers clinked glasses and shouted.

Stannis felt that his head was going to be blown, and at this time he took Robert to the big tent to attend a dinner to celebrate this victory.

But it took twice as long to get from the garrison to the big tent, because the narrow muddy ground was full of drunk soldiers.

After the triumphant return, these soldiers spent all their money on prostitutes and wine merchants. As for why even the most ordinary soldiers had money, Stannis also deliberately studied the composition of soldiers' income in the Westland.

Although each soldier can nominally receive a subsidy from the lord, the income is very meager, not to mention often deducted, so most of their income is based on the hope of plundering spoils from the battlefield.

And after each battle, they don't have to worry about not being able to sell the trophies they get, because merchants who specialize in buying trophies are mixed into the camp tents like lice on cowhide. Their presence enables soldiers to quickly cash out the things in their hands No need to travel thousands of miles back to the market for sale.Now that they have money in their hands, those prostitutes and peddlers will definitely not let them take these shiny gadgets back. They or they try their best to empty the pockets of every soldier.

And what Stannis saw now was the result.

But he didn't bother complaining about the bad military discipline, maybe better educated knights would be better off.

With this in mind, he stepped into the big tent.

"Long live Tanis!"

A group of knights clinked their glasses and shouted.

Stannis had to sit down covering his face. The food had been set on the long table, but no one had moved them.

"After a day of fighting, I'm starving to death!" he complained.

"Don't be in a hurry, Boss, it's customary to give a speech before eating." Robert comforted him.

The banquet began soon, and after the long and boring speech of Duke Tanis, just when Stannis, who was about to faint from hunger, could finally eat, the Marquis of Worf walked to the main stage again.

"No way..." Stannis was about to collapse, he knew this guy's eloquence.

"Yes! I completely agree with what His Royal Highness Duke Tanis said just now!" Standing in front of him, the Marquis of Worf obviously didn't hear his complaints, and began to give a passionate speech again, "Today's victory is hard-won. In fact, we are sitting here The result of everyone's joint efforts, but! Let's start with the day when the Kingdom of Tanis was born seven hundred years ago..."

After an unknown amount of time, the white-haired middle-aged man finally finished speaking.

It was finally over, and Stannis couldn't wait to reach out for the bread, but Robert knocked on the back of his hand with a table knife.

"Boss, I haven't said the toast yet, why are you eating?" Robert seemed to have a good reason.

How could there be so many rules at a banquet?
At this time, the eldest son of the Duke stood up, raised his glass first and stood up and said loudly, "Long live Tanis."

"Long live!"

Then came the imperial special envoy Xiao Enbin, who tremblingly raised his wine glass, "May His Majesty the Emperor always be healthy!"

"healthy!"

Then one lord stood up one by one to give a toast, and it seemed that those who did not have a name to attend had to formalize.

Finally it was Stannis' turn. He was too hungry to use his brain. Since the Duke himself, family, territory, principality, and emperor had all been mentioned, let's take advantage of the opportunity to congratulate the Empire.

"Long live the Ilysis Empire!" He stood up and said excitedly.

As soon as this remark came out, the originally very lively big tent came down instantly, and everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a monster.

I don't seem to have any cold field skills, do I?Looking at himself no matter what, Stannis was at a loss.

"Carrot, did I say something wrong again?" He asked in a low voice.

Before his younger brother could reply, the voice of Wayne, who considered himself his old enemy, sounded again.

"I know you are a descendant of the Ilysis royal family, but you don't have to show it off all the time, right? This is the territory of the Condor Empire after all!"

【Condor Empire】?Isn't it the Ilysis Empire?Stannis was completely confused. Since he crossed over, everyone kept repeating to him that he was a descendant of the Holy Dragon family, and he should also be a vassal of the Ilysis royal family! How did he become the lord of the Condor Empire?

However, after sorting out his memory a little, Stannis realized that he had made a principled mistake.

That is to say, he is not a vassal of the Ilysis Empire, but a lord under the Principality of Tanis thousands of miles away!And the Principality of Tanis is one of the seven kingdoms under the rule of the Condor Empire, so there is no doubt that I am loyal to the Emperor of the Condor Empire!
It turned out that after a long time, I was loyal to the wrong crown, but what is this Condor Empire?

The Condor Empire, or the Holy Erathia Empire, is the well-deserved and only overlord of the Western Continent. It reaches the Tayun River in Rhodok in the north; the Gemini Sea in the southern city-state in the south; the Anchor Islands in the Endless Ocean in the west; Ending in the Black Forest of Tanis in the east, nearly 50% of the entire western land is owned by it or under her protection. It can be regarded as the co-lord of the western world, although it has suffered from the emerging power of the northern Rhodok Republic in recent years. Challenges, but the empire's ruling hegemony in the south-central remains unshakable.

But now is not the time for popular science, Stannis turned his head and found a way to find a way, he changed the topic, and then said: "Because it is the only one that can compete with the Condor Empire forever!"

As soon as this sentence was said, the audience was instantly detonated, and the lords all showed joy. Although the Condor Empire has been established for more than 400 years, it is obviously different from the thousand-year-old Ilysses Empire, which has been established since the Silver Age and passed down the inextinguishable dragon fire. It is not orthodox enough, so the country lords in the Western Continent, no matter how big or small, try to rely on their family lineage to the Ilysis lineage. Now there is an orthodox descendant of Ilysis who has been appointed to say that the Condor and the Holy Dragon can sit on an equal footing. Of course, the lords who accepted the rule at the bottom also felt that they had a good face, and their status was soaring.

"This kid can really talk!"

Stannis was very proud to hear more than one lord boasting about himself like this.

When he sat down, Robert looked at him with admiration, "Boss, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent, and the guys who said it were stunned."

Of course, if the traveler who did not bring the golden finger to time travel did not practice their eloquence better, they would really be unable to get along.

Soon, all the toasts were over, and Stannis could finally eat.

However, before he finished eating the first piece of bread, he saw Bernard Xiao Enbin winking at him.

As if letting myself go out with him.
