Chapter 2313: Earl



"The imperial edict has arrived!" The Windsor Family had never received so much attention from the imperial court as they did recently, and the imperial decrees kept arriving without end.

As the Windsor Family members were discussing the preparations for the situation after the court's downfall, suddenly, a voice was heard from outside.

An imperial edict?

Everyone looked at each other, unable to fathom what kind of matter had arrived.

"Quick, go and receive the edict."

As everyone quickly gathered, the eunuch delivering the edict glanced at them and said, "Where is Melody Carter?"

"To answer, Your Grace, they have their own external mansion and usually reside there."

"Is that so?" The eunuch delivering the edict frowned slightly and said to everyone, "Then let's proceed to that external mansion to deliver the edict."

After saying that, he walked out.

The Windsor Family members looked at each other again, not knowing what was happening, and could only follow along to Peter Brown's residence.

After entering, Melody Carter led the crowd out to welcome them.

The eunuch changed his previous expression, with a smile on his face, and said, "No need to stand on ceremony, prepare to receive the edict."

After setting up the incense table, the eunuch unfolded the imperial decree and read loudly, "By the mandate of heaven, the Emperor decrees... Peter Brown is appointed to the northern frontier... a battle outside Ling Sky City..."

With the reading of the decree, the entire Windsor Family was dumbfounded.

No one expected such a situation.

"What? Peter Brown!"

"Can it be?"

"The north has been pacified, pacified by Peter Brown?" As the eunuch continued to read, the Windsor Family members were filled with incredulous hesitation, none of them anticipated that Peter Brown would be so awesome, managing to pacify the north in such a short time given his capabilities.

Afterwards, when the eunuch read about the rewards from His Majesty for Peter Brown, everyone was stunned again.

"What, an Earl?"

"Marshal of the Northern Army, Commander of the North?"

"First Rank Noble Lady?"

Looking at Melody Carter, everyone was even more shocked; even Peter's mother was awarded the title of First Rank Noble Lady, what an honor that was.

Thinking of the Windsor Family women who were at most conferred only the title of Lady of Seventh Rank, everyone secretly sighed at Melody Carter's fortune, not realizing she raised such an extraordinary son.

However, no one focused on these thoughts anymore; the contents of this imperial edict were so rich that it was worth pondering deeply.

A large amount of gold and silver rewards, and ten thousand acres of land were also awarded, causing many in the Windsor Family to be envious, yet, no matter how envious, they dared not act. Peter Brown was no longer the overlooked hedonistic person, he was someone who had accomplished incredible feats.

After seeing off the eunuch, everyone still found it hard to believe.

After bringing everyone to the Conference Hall, Mattie Brown looked at Melody Carter's face.

"Is there any report from Peter Brown?" Mattie asked.

Melody Carter's face was also filled with excitement, and she smiled, "Yes, indeed as stated in the decree, Peter experienced several great battles, and finally managed to pacify the north."

After having someone bring in the detailed war report sent by Peter Brown for everyone to read, they finally understood the series of major events that occurred on the northern frontline.

Thinking about the things Peter Brown did under such circumstances, everyone felt a sense of awe.

Imagining if they faced such a crisis, they could only bitterly smile, knowing they'd likely be destined to flee.

The most unbelievable thing was Peter Brown's ability to rise against adversity—with fewer than a thousand troops, he managed to gather defeated soldiers and fight continuously, growing the Army's power, and won a battle outside Ling Distant City against a 500,000-strong Foreign Tribe; further, in the face of an ambush, he bravely fought and defeated another 500,000-strong Army. How powerful was this?

What everyone didn't know was that much of the content was exaggerated by his subordinates.

"Haha, our Windsor Family finally has a Marshal!" Stone Brown laughed heartily, naturally the most excited person; having a Marshal emerge from his lineage was a great joy for him.

Seeing Stone Brown's proud demeanor, everyone could only manage a wry smile; even at its peak, the Windsor Family had never produced a Marshal, at most a General. Even then, the Windsor Family was respected; now it was even more formidable, with Peter Brown at a young age already a Marshal and an Earl.

An Earl, indeed!

Thinking about Peter Brown being named an Earl, everyone could only sigh, no longer knowing what to say.

If not for Peter Brown, the Windsor Family would still be concerned with maintaining their noble title. Now, with Peter Brown, there was no need to worry; as long as he was there, the Windsor Family would not fall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's analyze the situation now." Mattie Brown said.

"Is there even a need? Peter Brown has captured the Northern Region, establishing his position decisively. With 1.5 million troops at his disposal, expanding to 2 million would be easy, a force that no power can ignore!" Stone said loudly.

Indeed, that seems to be the case!

Everyone contemplated and nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty will surely have Peter Brown lead the Army in battle again. Although the north is settled, the rebellion of the princes still continues, and I suspect His Majesty will summon his army back."

"Ladies and gentlemen, another matter arises: some powers may have discovered Peter's situation, and there might be recruitment attempts. If that happens, might he change his stance?"

"Rest assured, Peter Brown is undoubtedly loyal to the Emperor."

"We must quickly establish contact with Peter Brown; before he was just a Centurion, and we had no means to reach him, but now we can."

As everyone discussed Windsor Family matters, Melody Carter felt a deep concern; thinking of her son continuously at war, she could only sigh secretly, knowing she had no way to help.

Watching the Windsor Family members leaving excitedly, Melody Carter felt a complex mix of emotions; after so long being suppressed, good fortune had finally arrived.

"Mom, why is Peter so awesome?"

Wendy Williams was also bewildered; her brother had become so incredible.

Melody Carter smiled and said, "As long as your brother is here, we will keep getting better and better!"
