Chapter 2306: Peter Brown Sends Troops
"Imperial Edict has arrived." Just as everyone was discussing, suddenly, a voice came from outside.
When everyone hurriedly went out, they saw the eunuch delivering the decree smiling and saying, "Windsor Family, receive the decree."
After arranging the incense table, everyone knelt down, then heard the eunuch loudly reciting the decree.
"What's going on?"
After hearing the content of the imperial edict, the entire Windsor Family was dumbfounded.
"Eunuch, what exactly is the situation?" After the decree was delivered, Mattie Brown handed over a gratuity, then respectfully asked.
"You still don't know the situation, do you? General Wang is truly awesome. With a small army, he managed to defeat a foreign tribe of over a million troops in one fell swoop. The Northern Region is about to be reclaimed under his command, a great achievement indeed. Hence, the noble title granting is so precious, and Your Majesty has richly rewarded him."
At this point, he took out another decree and said, "This is a reward for Mrs. Carter, come and receive the decree."
Only after inquiry did Melody Carter find out that she was the one to receive the decree, feeling quite excited.
This imperial edict was precisely a reward for Melody Carter, appointing her as a fourth-rank titled Lady of Grace.
Seeing Melody Carter receive the bestowed rewards, the women of the Windsor Family displayed expressions of envy, truly not expecting Melody Carter to have such great fortune.
Of course, for the core members of the Windsor Family, the most shocking was Peter Brown's reward. General of the North, not a position just anyone could enjoy. Each General of the North guards the Northern Region, wielding immense power. Peter Brown being appointed to such a crucial position signifies his importance.
After everyone returned to the conference hall, Mattie Brown sighed, "We, the Windsor Family, have not been paying enough attention to Peter Brown, not even knowing about such a significant victory he achieved!"
The elder responsible for intelligence felt his face heat up immediately. Although Peter Brown also became one of the elders, he never truly regarded Peter Brown seriously. Especially knowing a foreign tribe of a million troops had surrounded Peter Brown, he was not optimistic about Peter Brown, convinced that Peter Brown would not survive this ordeal. For someone who rose suddenly and seemed likely to fall quickly, he did not invest much attention.
Yet, this young member he severely underestimated had made a name for himself, achieving such a great accomplishment.
"Dalton Walter, from now on, hand over your intelligence duties."
Mattie Brown was also filled with anger; such a significant matter only came to light through an imperial edict, and Dalton Walter, the person responsible for intelligence, was utterly incompetent.
Dalton Walter opened his mouth, trying to say something, but finally sighed. The mistake he made this time was too grave, failing to notice such a strong young member.
After changing the person in charge of intelligence, Mattie Brown continued, "Do you all see now? After Peter Brown's battle, the Northern Region is practically pacified. Although we don't know exactly how he achieved it, one thing is certain: our family will grow stronger with Peter Brown's rise!"
"Head of Family, even so, what good is it? Now, the princes are revolting, their troops far exceeding that of His Majesty's. What if this battle is lost?"
This, indeed, was a stark reality, and everyone's expressions changed again upon hearing it.
With a laugh, Mattie Brown said, "In these chaotic times, what matters most? Strength. As long as you have strength, no one dares to mess with you. Peter Brown now commands at least 500,000 troops. With such an army in hand, even if the princes succeed, what do you think they would do?"
An elder nodded, "Head of Family foresees everything. As long as Peter Brown remains strong, no one will treat him lightly."
At this moment, when everyone looked at Melody Carter, they all sighed inwardly; this woman has raised a good son. With her son alone, she has earned the title of Lady of Grace.
Leaving aside the Windsor Family's discussion, after Peter Brown finished cultivation, the situation in all aspects improved. The army was thoroughly trained again. For him, what he now loved most was battling because each battle earned him a substantial amount of rule power, and his Elixir Sea had expanded further.
The four armies were sweeping everywhere; wherever foreign tribes were entrenched, they launched full assaults. Although many men perished, with new troops joining, Peter Brown's army had reached over 1.3 million.
Peter Brown knew his situation well. In the Northern Region, he was indeed a local emperor; no one could challenge his position.
Thinking about it made Peter Brown smile. Those wanting to take over this army were destined to fail; the genetic warriors, all loyal to him, could not be controlled by anyone, no matter how capable.
Peter Brown had also refined many medicine pills in preparation, additionally intensifying the refining of some talismans. These talismans could be used as an offensive means in the next step.
A few days later, Adrian Smith, the eunuch, arrived again. Upon entering, he said with a smile, "Congratulations to General Wang, His Majesty has issued a decree."
After receiving the imperial edict, Peter Brown immediately glanced at his Elixir Sea. Now he was formally a Viscount, much more substantial than last time's empty promise.
Sure enough, Peter Brown discovered more rule power surging into his Elixir Sea after receiving the decree.
Seeing this, Peter Brown knew that it was due to the good results brought by the four armies' campaigns, with more rule power entering, making the Elixir Sea more fluid.
Ah, it takes an imperial edict to be effective!
However, Peter Brown was also speechless regarding the new emperor's stinginess. Considering his situation, he should at least be given an Earl's title, right? The Viscount title was promised last time, yet only now did the edict come forth.
Of course, Peter Brown wouldn't express this thought outwardly.
To Peter Brown, if the noble title didn't aid in breaking the confinement, he wouldn't even want such a title.
After looking at the Elixir Sea for a while, Peter Brown knew that the progress was relatively quick.
"General Wang, the situation of the Eastern Legion isn't very good now. His Majesty commands you to gather the troops for rescue. It will be too late if delayed."
Rescue the Eastern Legion?
Peter Brown had received quite a bit of information about the Eastern Legion. As far as he knew, the Eastern Legion was destined to be annihilated without any surprises.
Should he save them or not?
After pondering, Peter Brown said, "Alright, I will mobilize the entire army immediately and dispatch troops!"
