Matthew was surprised as he looked at the battle reports one after another.

What surprised him was not only the empire's martial virtues, but also the poor state of Perth Kingdom.

He soon felt relieved. Maybe this was the true strength of the Perth Kingdom.

They have suffered more defeats than victories in foreign conflicts over the past few hundred years. At home, they have focused more on culture than military affairs, and their military's combat effectiveness is worrying.

Although they captured Groningen with the support of courage, when the army's spirit was exhausted, the competition was about comprehensive national strength and military strength.

On these two points, they are no match for the Claire Empire.

The empire didn't even conduct a nationwide mobilization. It just dispatched some of the troops that the emperor could mobilize and beat them to pieces.

After verifying several battle reports, Matthew was finally convinced of one thing. The Kingdom of Perth could no longer withstand it.

The suspense now is not who wins or loses, but what price the Kingdom of Perth will bear for this invasion.

Matthew was thankful but also a little disappointed.

After this battle, no idiot will dare to invade the empire.

There is no war in the empire, which means that he has no chance to continue to make achievements on the battlefield.

Although his military exploits in this war were numerous, they were not enough to earn him the reputation of being an emperor.

In this boring war, the Clare Empire and the Himilun family won, the Kingdom of Perth would become the biggest loser, and Matthew did not gain much benefit.

It's impossible to go on like this!

Matthew wrote to the emperor without hesitation, expressing his determination to serve his country.He killed an old hen and dipped it in its blood to write a touching blood letter, expressing his strong desire to join the war.

The old hen was not wasted. The chef made chicken soup and became Matthew's dinner.

He believed that the emperor would definitely approve it, because he was an elector, which had a different meaning.

If Matthew didn't take the initiative to ask to participate in the war, he could refuse Himilun's transfer order.The same goes for the other Electors, the Hoffenhage family.

It would be very shameful for a majestic emperor to issue a recruitment order but be rejected.

In order to avoid this embarrassing scene, Himilen simply did not recruit the Hoffenhager family and Matthew.

As long as there is no conscription, there will be no embarrassment for the emperor to be rejected.

Matthew took the initiative to ask the emperor for a fight, which was also giving face to the Himilun family.

At least on the surface, the situation on the battlefield seems to have been settled. Letting Matthew appear will not gain much credit, but it can make His Majesty the Emperor look good.

Anyway, the overall situation of this war has been decided. Matthew's participation in the war will not bring him more military exploits. His Majesty the Emperor will not begrudge this smooth favor.

After sending this letter, Matthew began to prepare his army for war.

Asking the emperor for a battle is just a procedure, and it also allows everyone to be decent.Even if the emperor does not allow him to go to war, he will definitely send troops.

He is indeed a vassal of the empire, but the status of the elector is transcendent. As long as he does not rebel or commit rebellion, he has the right to freely mobilize the army.

What's more, Matthew's army is not only the private soldiers of the territory, but also the Miracle Knights.

This army is nominally affiliated with the Holy See, and Matthew can use the excuse of protecting the lives and property of the Lord of Light's followers to join the war.

He is the spokesperson of the Lord of Holy Light in the human world, and of course he has the authority to do so.He believed that His Majesty the Emperor could understand the stakes here.

After waiting for almost a week, Matthew received a reply from His Majesty the Emperor.

The content of this letter is simple and does not oppose Matthew's military actions.

His Majesty the Emperor's letter was very polite. He first recognized Matthew's achievements on the battlefield and then promoted him to a knighthood.

Matthew is now a hereditary Earl. On this basis, His Majesty the Emperor has granted him a non-hereditary second-class Marquis title.

However, this title is a blank check because the location of the Marquis is within the Kingdom of Perth.

The marquis territory given to him by the emperor covers an area of ​​almost 1.5 square kilometers, which is four times the area of ​​Matthew's current territory, but it is located deep within the Kingdom of Perth.

Unless Matthew has the ability to win this territory by himself, it will be an empty title.

The reason for His Majesty's sealing is even more intriguing.

He did not use Matthew's meritorious service in killing Fisher to create a marquis, but used Matthew to put down the rebellion of the pseudo-Baron Fran as a reason.

Such a reward is equivalent to Matthew stepping on the face of the Hoffenhager family and becoming a marquis.

This is a conspiracy, an honest conspiracy.

Matthew and the Hoffenhager family couldn't maintain harmony anyway. His Majesty the Emperor just reminded Matthew, but it didn't mean he was inciting them to fight among themselves.

Matthew happily accepted the appointment.

Although he is a non-hereditary marquis, and it is an empty title, it does not matter, the empty title is also a marquis!

Although his fiefdom is still under the rule of the Kingdom of Perth, it doesn't matter, he can get it himself.

If the Kingdom of Perth disagrees, he will reach an agreement with them.

His Majesty the Emperor must have felt that his strategy was unparalleled, but Matthew also felt that he had made a lot of money.

The real losers are the Hoffenhage family and the Kingdom of Perth.

The Hoffenhaiger family suffered a loss on the battlefield, and they originally wanted to bite the bullet and admit their loss. However, the emperor used this reward to remind the whole country that the Hoffenhager family was beaten up by the Lundebel family.

The Kingdom of Perth was even worse. They didn't even know that half of their province was targeted by Matthew.

Of course, even if you know, so what, what determines the ownership of the territory is ultimately strength.

The Clare Empire is far more powerful than the Kingdom of Perth, and what they should be more worried about is how to deal with the next war.

Along with the title award, there are other rewards.

The bounty of [-] Mira is a huge amount of money in normal rewards, but it is nothing to Matthew who has already reached an agreement with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

However, this represented the emperor's good intentions, and Matthew was naturally happy to accept it.

One hundred million is never too much, and one penny is never too little. Matthew is so down-to-earth.

In addition to the first time, there were also some physical rewards, and Matthew ordered the housekeeper to accept the inventory.

However, in addition to these rewards, there were two beautiful but tricky rewards that made him worry.

His Majesty the Emperor was very concerned about Matthew's personal problems. Not only did he generously offer to help Matthew find a suitable fiancée after he arrived in the imperial capital, but he also sent two beautiful girls to warm his bed.

Looking at the innocent and lovely twin sisters in front of him, Matthew was speechless.

Chapter 149 The Disliked Vase

Using beautiful women as gifts was a very common and elegant thing in the feudal imperial era.In the Clare Empire, it was common for nobles to share beauties and even wives and concubines.

However, Matthew could not accept this behavior.

Although the two girls were young and beautiful, Matthew was disappointed after just one glance.Their weight-bearing levels are all white, which is the lowest, and their hidden value is not high, so there is no possibility of awakening.

no value.

This is what Matthew said about them.

Seeing the shy and timid expressions of the two girls, Matthew asked seriously: "Two beauties, what are your names?"

"My name is Lucy, I'm my sister."

"My name is Lily, and I'm my younger sister."

The two said it almost in unison.

Seeing Matthew's expression of no joy, her sister promoted herself a little shyly, "We sisters are all complete, and have received special training. We know many special skills. Lord Marquis..."

She stopped mid-sentence.

Although they were sent with the sole purpose of serving Matthew, they were still inexperienced girls, so such harsh words still made her feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the two girls only had level [-] or [-] fighting skills, Matthew was originally very disappointed, but when he heard about the special skills, he became more interested.

If you have special skills, maybe they can be of some use, right?

Matthew thought silently, and asked with a smile: "You are my sister, tell me first, what special skills do you have?"

"me..."

Lucy was so shy that she lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes, unable to say a word.

How to say these things? If only Matthew was here, she might be able to speak out shyly, but with Andre standing next to Matthew, she couldn't speak at all.

Andre had no intention of leaving at all.

Of course, he knew that he didn't stay because of gossip, he was worried about Matthew's safety.Although these two girls have very weak fighting ability, women have many ways to kill men.

If Matthew is carried away by desire, he may die at the peak of happiness.

He had to keep an eye on Matthew. If this guy couldn't resist temptation, he would not hesitate to admonish him.

He said it was admonishment, but he didn't want to give Matthew room to refuse.

You have to listen to it, and you have to listen to it if you don’t!

This was a major matter involving his life and safety, so he couldn't be careless in the slightest.

Of course, Matthew didn't know what was going on in Andre's little head. He was just curious about what skills Lucy had.

Seeing that Lucy was embarrassed to speak, Matthew asked softly: "What are your special skills?"

Seeing her sister's shy expression, her younger sister Lily couldn't help it. They were just sent by the sisters for Master Matthew to use at night. They could pretend to be anything.

Although the person standing behind Mr. Matthew is a man, he is exceptionally beautiful. Without asking, he knows that he is the male favorite raised by Mr. Matthew. There is no need to worry so much in front of him.

She loudly introduced the skills she and her sister knew.

Hearing those fancy names, Matthew instantly realized that these two girls were trained exactly how to serve men.

He was completely disappointed.

She neither knows how to fight nor has auxiliary skills, but she still has to provide food and drink. Wouldn't it be a waste of food for such a woman to stay at home?

If it weren't for the gift from the emperor, Matthew would have already planned to expel him.

His attitude quickly changed from expectant to impatient, and he waved his hand to indicate that Lily didn't have to say anything more.

"You mean, you sisters can do nothing but serve others?"

"Yes."

When Matthew saw Andre standing next to him, he immediately thought of one thing. Andre seemed to have no girlfriend or fiancée, and her strange habits made it impossible for him to date normal girls.

These two girls are quite beautiful, and they are specially trained to serve others. Even if Andre makes unreasonable demands, they will not object.

His eyes lit up. Giving these two girls to Andre was definitely a good way to win over this guy.

So, Matthew coughed lightly and said, "Since you are good at serving others, then stay."

Lucy and Lily breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other with a little more relief in their eyes.

It seems that Master Matthew is no different from other masters.

They are all men.

However, Matthew's next words made their emotions fall to the bottom instantly.

"Andre, it's really hard for you to come to this rural place like Rundebel to follow me alone. I haven't arranged anyone to serve you, so you suffer."

"I will give these two girls to you as maids."

Matthew's words not only stunned Lucy and Lily, but also instantly petrified Andre.

Could it be that he saw it?

Andre's heartbeat was a little messy.

But he immediately figured out that what Matthew saw through was probably not his gender, but his strange sexual fetishes.

No matter what, the feeling of being able to transfer the woman given by the emperor to him is heavy enough.

He didn't intend to accept these two vulgar fans, but he was willing to acknowledge this favor.

Lucy and Lily were stunned. They had long believed that Andre was Matthew's male favorite, and now they were going to give them to Andre. Of course they couldn't accept it.

You must know that most male favorites have some psychological problems. If they are wronged by Matthew, they may turn around and vent their anger on them.

The more this kind of monster is neither male nor female, the more perverted he is inside.

The two girls thought of whips, candles and other means, and their faces turned pale with fright.
