The news of Billis' death was spread to Mecklenburg at the end of midsummer. Arod expressed his deep condolences at the court meeting and agreed to the Teutonic Knights to build a tomb in Watergast. The court officials expressed their respect for Arod's kindness, but in private everyone understood what was going on, but this was the emperor's new clothes, and no one could say it on the surface.

"It seems that the Count is going to claim the title of Duke." Monk Elvit said with a little lonely expression. In the past, as the palace minister, he should have been the first person to be the only one to obtain, but now he only knows it with the others, which makes him hate Dylan Matt even more.

"Which duke title?" asked Monk Elvit's servant curiously.

"Billis has no heir of his own, and his territory has been accepted by the Earl, and most of the land in Mecklenburg has fallen into the hands of the Earl. Let's see a new Principality of Mecklenburg is about to rise." Monk Elvit picked up a glass of wine. He was recently obsessed with the honey wine made by Lera.

"The Principality of Mecklenburg?"

"The Principality of Mecklenburg, God bless."

"Then Lord Gong Xiang, aren't your power even greater?" The servant showed a look of joy on his face. Arod was the master of his master. Then when Arod became the duke, the power of monk Elvit would also rise.

"Hmph, I will not give up my rights. How difficult it is to get to this point today." Monk Elvit held the wine glass, his eyes fell on his palace face on the desk. Such rights and wealth could never be discarded.

"By the way, Lord Palace Prime Minister and Lord Earl said that a ceremony to reward those who have meritorious people will be held tomorrow. The servants are speculating who will get the most reward." The servant looked at Monk Elvit with envy. Monk Elvit, the leader of the palace, will definitely receive the most reward. Everyone thinks so.

"Who is the list of meritorious people?" Monk Elvit asked curiously.

"A friend of mine serves the Count, and is a wine-filling servant." The servant said to Monk Elvit.

"Oh? The wine-filling servant." After hearing the servant's words, Monk Elvit's eyes lit up. When his status is currently in danger, if there is a person by his own side, the situation will be much more powerful to him.

"Yes."

"I am very interested in this friend of yours, so let me go back to the tavern in town tomorrow night to have a drink. I hope I can see him there." Monk Elvit said to his servant with his eyes rolling.

As the servant of Monk Elvit said, after conquering the land of Watergastshire and forcing the Great Chief of Pomeranian to negotiate, Arod had to reward those soldiers who had made contributions. This was a time to test whether the military merit system he promulgated was credible, and everyone was waiting and watching Arod.

"Soldiers who have made contributions in the war must be rewarded strictly according to the military merit system." Aruod, with his hair loose, was wearing a gorgeous Germanic robe with golden silk, and he sat on the throne of the lord with great majesty.

"It's the Earl." Baron Ron, who was in charge of the Mecklenburg Legion, walked out of the courtiers. He was wearing a green Germanic noble suit and a sharp sword hung around his waist.

"The merits of any soldier must not be missed. After the review is completed, I will review them myself." Arod held the scepter of the Great Chief of Pomeranian in his left hand. After the Pomeranians retreated, Arod ordered him to show them to everyone.

"My Count, I will." Baron Ron quickly assured Arod.

"Very good, we must not be stingy with the warriors defending Mecklenburg." Arod reminded Baron Ron.

"Thank you for your generosity." The court officials in the hall praised Arod, but they were waiting for a big show. Sure enough, at this time, monk Elvit walked out of the court officials and bowed to Arod.

"My Monk Elvit, my chief minister, respectable Lord Gong Prime Minister. What are you doing?" Aroud was a little surprised. Because of the difference in the scene, the territory's official Dylan Matt also frowned.

"Dear Count, you have conquered the entire territory of the Mecklenburg pagans with unrivaled strength, and brought this land originally enveloped in the darkness into the glory of the Lord. This achievement is enough to make you worthy of the title of Duke of Mecklenburg~~~." Monk Elvitt bent down and bowed straight, he opened his arms and spoke loudly and passionately to the courtiers in the hall. The echo of his voice sounded in the entire hall of the lord.

"Long live the Duke of Mecklenburg."

"Long live the Duke of Mecklenburg." The courtiers in the hall held their fists high and echoed the words of Monk Elvit. They were so excited that Arod had to wait until they calmed down before speaking.

"The Wendell family is just the last nobles who started in the countryside. With their piety and gifts to the Lord, I spread the gospel in Mecklenburg County and received a glorious earl title. How could I dare to covet the title of Duke?" Although Arod had already recited the manuscript in advance, when these words were spit out from his mouth, he still felt a little feverish.

"You are totally worthy of such a prominent title, and we will testify." In the hall were gathered with noble squire from the three territories conquered by Arod, who raised their arms and said loudly to Arod.

"Long live the Duke of Mecklenburg." Then the nobles shouted Arod's name and duke's title three times, which was a ceremony carried out according to the customs of the Germans. If no one interrupted in the three calls, Arod's title was recognized.

"Thank you for your recognition of me. In this way, I will use the sword in my hand to safeguard the security of the Church of the Virgin and the rights of the nobles, and safeguard the law and order to ensure the safety and freedom of the people's rights to trade." Arod stood up and crossed the sword and the scepter on his chest. At this time, Monk Elvit took out a duke's crown like a magic trick.

"Please receive this head crown." Monk Elvit smiled and walked to Arod's side a few steps, put the head crown on Arod's head and said to Arod.
