At this moment in Kingston, the new emperor appeared extremely anxious. He controlled two armies, but unfortunately, one of them was now surrounded by various tribes, providing him with no assistance. Meanwhile, the armies of rival princes, under the banner of usurpation, were rising everywhere.

What to do?

Several ministers sat in the room, all showing the same anxiety.

"Your Majesty, the forces of the rival princes are substantial now. Several legions are under their control. We should concentrate our forces."

"Your Majesty, the priority is to rescue the Eastern Legion. If no measures are taken soon, there's a danger of the Eastern Legion being annihilated!"

Everyone felt worried upon hearing that the Eastern Legion was surrounded, and knowing that the foreign tribes had several million troops besieging the Eastern Legion. The new emperor did not have many cards to play, and losing the Eastern Legion would pose a significant problem.

Rescue?

Everyone inwardly smiled bitterly, wondering where to find reinforcements. Should the Imperial Guard be sent? If the Woodward Legion left, even the new emperor's throne would be hard to protect.

The new emperor had the same thought; how could he possibly send the Woodward Legion out?

At this moment, a minister said, "There is another army that might be used."

"Which one?"

"Your Majesty, Peter Brown has hundreds of thousands of troops at his command. He has expressed loyalty, and he can be deployed."

Peter Brown?

Everyone shook their heads upon hearing this name. That kid couldn't even protect himself; what use could he be?

"Your Majesty, it is important to bestow favors on the generals in the army."

A minister reminded with a word.

Slightly nodding, the new emperor understood the situation. For him at the moment, as long as the army listened to him, it was good. So, he nodded slightly and said, "You are right. Peter Brown's loyalty to me is a good thing. How is his situation now?"

"The situation isn't very clear yet; Adrian Smith reported the situation there. He expressed his loyalty but is facing an attack from over a million foreign troops, with a major battle expected."

At this time, a eunuch ran in and said, "Report."

"Speak."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Daniel Smith sent a fast horse to report that Peter Brown is fiercely fighting against one hundred twenty thousand foreign troops outside Ling Distant City. Peter Brown has defeated the foreign troops in one fell swoop and is now pursuing them."

Ah!

Everyone was stunned. They did not expect Peter Brown to be so awesome, defeating one hundred twenty thousand foreign troops.

This!

The new emperor also widened his eyes. For them, while Peter Brown's expression of loyalty was a good thing, they hadn't really valued him, thinking that facing so many foreign troops, his chances of survival were not high. Yet now, Peter Brown had won.

"Your Majesty, this is wonderful news!"

A minister's face immediately showed a smile.

Another minister looked at the messenger and loudly asked, "Is the situation true?"

"Your Majesty, this is a secret report sent by Daniel Smith." A written report was handed to the new emperor.

The new emperor read it and then laughed heartily, "Good, good, good!"

Amidst the flood of bad news, Peter Brown's victory was a joyful thing for the new emperor. It represented the strengthening of his power. With a frontier army like Peter Brown's, that was no ordinary army; it was a mighty force!

"Your Majesty, return the favor," a minister whispered.

Slightly nodding, the new emperor looked at everyone and said, "What do you think?"

The ministers here were all people whose lives were tied to the new emperor's success, naturally hoping for the new emperor's power to be greater.

"Your Majesty, since Peter Brown has defeated the northern foreign troops, there should not be many troops in the north capable of opposing him. Naturally, the north should be entrusted to him."

"That's not enough; a noble title should also be given."

Everyone naturally agreed that Peter Brown's achievements should be greatly rewarded.

After some deliberation, a consensus was reached: his noble title would rise by a level, from baron to viscount, with the position of General of the North, commanding the Northern Warzone, and leading the reorganized Northern Army.

After thinking for a moment, the new emperor commanded, "Issue an edict to Peter Brown, ordering him to spare no effort to rush to rescue the Eastern Legion."

To the new emperor, the most important thing was the Eastern Legion. Rescuing them, if possible, would indeed be a good thing.

What followed was the issuance of the imperial edict.

At that moment, the Windsor Family was enveloped in a sense of silence. The empire's landscape had changed drastically, and this was a major event incomprehensible to the Windsor Family. Peter Brown was undoubtedly important to the Windsor Family, but he was now on the battlefield, with the possibility of dying at any time. If Peter Brown were to die?

Today, the Windsor Family held a family meeting to discuss strategies. Melody Carter was called to the meeting as well. As a woman, participating in such a meeting was exceptional for the Windsor Family, but there was no other choice. Peter Brown had troops under his command now.

"Everyone, we previously agreed to grant Peter Brown the title of viscount, but it has not been issued through an imperial edict. The most important thing for Peter Brown now is to achieve a great merit. Only then can he secure his position. The north lacks significant new royal generals, offering an opportunity for Peter Brown. We should inform him of this."

The elder family members began planning for Peter Brown, naturally hoping for considerable growth.

"Have you all considered the matters with the rival princes?" an elder asked.

"The matters with the rival princes?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces became rather grim.

"Patriarch, I received news that Peter Brown has expressed loyalty to Daniel Smith, sent by the new emperor. By doing this, our Windsor Family is now bound to the new emperor's side!"

Everyone gave a bitter smile, indeed this was the situation. Under such circumstances, the Windsor Family really had no choice but to side with the new emperor. Some elders felt displeased with Peter Brown, thinking this young man had quickly pledged allegiance, which was disadvantageous for the Windsor Family.

Melody Carter sat there silently, naturally understanding the situation. Although the Carter Family wasn't strong, she had been taught by some professors from an early age. She had long understood the overall situation, and after some analysis, she believed more in her son. If it weren't for her son's spectacular emergence, she wouldn't know her own fate. So, no matter what, she would stand by her son's side.
