European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 28 Advance to Laon
"I said, Lord Edward, where did your right-wing troops go before, and why did they suddenly appear in the rear?" The Duke of Normandy seemed a little dissatisfied, and began to ask.

Edward explained calmly: "Our flanks were attacked by Burgundy, and we were so entangled that we couldn't move away. After we solved them, the troops had unknowingly advanced to the enemy's rear, so we Followed the trend and outflanked."

"The guys from Burgundy actually came to this muddy water. If it weren't for the fact that the territory is far away, I would have cleaned them up a long time ago."

"Indeed, but fortunately there is no danger, you are the Duke." Edward took the opportunity to flatter him.

The Duke of Normandy just now remembered something, and told the people behind: "You said earlier, is there a warrior who killed the enemy's generals in the rear, bring it here and let me have a look."

After a while, Li Peijun was brought over without knowing why.

"Bruno? Why did you come here, and where did you get your war horse?" Baron Mona next to Edward was stunned when he saw that this heroic guy was Li Peijun.

Li Peijun was blunt, and showed off a little proudly: "Well, I won it from Lord York in Castle Edward."

"York?" Edward seemed to hear a familiar name, and began to look at Li Peijun carefully.

"Warrior, your name is Bruno, right? You deserve credit for this victory." The Duke of Normandy also boasted generously.

Li Peijun took a moment to realize it, and quickly nodded and said yes, "Not too many, just killed eight lords." Li Peijun suddenly became humble, after all, when he played this game before, he killed enemies according to the country. Calculated as a unit.

"Eight, that's a lot. You have to know that I only have about a hundred Lords under my command. It can be regarded as a heavy blow to the enemy army. I want to reward you well."

Li Peijun began to think about it, "A reward? Money or equipment? Or a title? It's best to give a piece of land."

"From now on, you are a baron. If you work hard in the future, you will have a bright future." The Duke of Normandy held a simple ceremony, and Li Peijun became one of the Duke's more than 100 Lords.

"After working for a long time, it's just a vacant position, and there is nothing practical except the title." Li Peijun complained silently in his heart. After all, at this time, the king's vacant position is not as real as the eight hundred cavalry.

"Bruno, congratulations. You have become a baron at a young age. You have a bright future." Baron Mona also congratulated you.

"The happiest thing is yet to come. The city of Laon is ahead. As soon as the noble meeting is over, the position of the Frankish king will be a solid fact." Capet straightened his cloak and impatiently walked to the end of the team. Front.

Edward moved the horse to Robert's side, and whispered again.

"You look like this, it's better to be honest, at least you can be a Lepidus, the glory of Octavian does not belong to you."

Robert lowered his head and remained silent. The silver scabbard was blown out of the shawl by the wind.

Laon City
"Let me go, there are troops all around the city, and there are a lot of messy nobles. Could it be that CD came here through troubled waters?" Li Peijun entered the city and looked at the streets and alleys filled with noble troops from different camps. I still felt a little trembling in my heart.

"Bruno, what did the Duke tell you to go up just now?" Bernard still couldn't stop his curiosity and began to ask.

"From now on, I am already a baron. Although I am treated like a knight, I just put a false name on my head."

Everyone looked at Li Peijun with envy again.

"Bruno, you kid want to buy a drink, I want to drink pure wine." Bernard's alcoholism broke out again.

Li Peijun glanced at the wound on his shoulder, "It's best not to drink until the wound is healed. I will pay you to go to the city to see if there is any good wine."

"Bruno, how did your equestrian skills improve so quickly in a short period of time?" Cohen became very interested in the growth of Li Peijun's abilities.

Of course, Li Peijun couldn't tell him that he had turned on the system science skill, so he could only be vague and covertly fool him.

"I want to kill the lord next time, and I want to revitalize the family." As expected, Tiddell's focus was still on these things, and Li Peijun didn't feel any surprise in his heart.

"Let you kill as many people as you want. I'll find someone with the highest title to kill for you. I'll kill as many as you can." Li Peijun didn't care about who killed him, as long as he could slowly improve his attributes.

The team in front stopped suddenly, and Li Peijun almost rubbed someone's ass without paying attention.

"What's going on?" Li Peijun stretched out his head and looked into the distance as if watching a highway traffic jam, but he couldn't see why.

"Their nobles should be holding a noble meeting, let's wait here." Bernard, who had heard a little, told Li Peijun the reason.

Li Peijun looked around, and there were noble troops with different flags and badges everywhere, all neatly piled up in this small place.

"It's hard for them, and it's really not easy to hold a meeting." Li Peijun took advantage of this time to rest on the horse's back for a while. After all, he was a little tired after driving all night and killing people all morning.

Laon, the noble council hall.

"Everyone, the Duke of Lower Lorraine has given up competing for the position of King of the Franks. Do you have any objections now?" Capet shook his head, with a tough and polite attitude.

The nobles present at the meeting looked at each other and started discussing in low voices.

"Today, I hope that everyone can discuss and come to a result." Capet euphemistically expressed his dissatisfaction.

"I think the Duke of Capet's succession to the King of the Franks is what everyone expects. Do you think so?" Capet's ally, the Duke of Normandy, took the lead in expressing his support.

"I agree, Your Excellency the Duke is brave and resourceful, and he is indeed the best candidate to inherit the throne." Another nobleman echoed.

"I agree."

"I agree too."

The representatives of the nobles reached an agreement in extensive exchanges and agreed to support Capet as the successor of the new Frankish king.

"Then please come to Paris again to discuss specific matters at that time, and hold the coronation ceremony by the way."

After Capet finished speaking, he got up and left, and other nobles also left one after another. A stage play with a historical turning point is about to come to an end.

"Bruno, wake up, get ready to go."

Li Peijun wiped the saliva that came out, and was surprised why Bernard didn't use the familiar routine to call himself this time, a little uncomfortable.

"Your Excellency the Baron, it's not too early to go back at this time. I invite you to stay in my castle for one night. I don't know what you like." Edward extended the invitation to everyone.

Baron Mona looked at the sky, and it was indeed getting late, "Then please trouble Mr. Marquis."

Edward glanced at Li Peijun who was talking nonsense with others, and then turned his gaze back, "Hurry up, it's too late to go back at this time."

At the end of the meeting, everyone gathered their own troops and went back to their respective territories. Although this time Laon's military operation was full of surprises, it was still a small step forward for Li Peijun's road to the European Emperor.

"Get the title: Baronet."

"I'll go, your system's wartime extension reminder time is a bit long." Li Peijun complained about the system again.

　Laon: Paris was the mid-administrative period of the early Carolingian Dynasty. After the actual regime was controlled by the Capet family, the Frankish king was forced to transfer the administrative center to Laon, which is located in the northwest of Paris.

Later, Octavian deprived him of military and political power, but his personal safety was guaranteed. Died peacefully during his reign.
