Chapter 266 The Highlight



"Gentlemen."

After everyone was seated, the Count of Libya spoke. His Excellency's voice was very loud and had a hint of majesty.

"This time, at the request of the five gentlemen, Lord Sheldon, Lord Windsor, Lord Alton, Lord Bealey, and Lord Philip, the Orange Grand Council was convened to deal with the increasingly thorny issue of the new party."

The Libyan Count fixed his gaze on the five nobles for a moment, then said, "The thing is, my intelligence personnel have discovered that the New Party's activities have become more and more frequent recently. Not only in Orange, but in the entire kingdom. Later, Harry Baron Barton of the Barton family was suspected to have been assassinated by the New Party, and Viscount Silver Wing was the first clear victim."

Having said that, the Count of Libya's eyes lingered on Baron Philip for a moment, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Baron Philip shuddered suddenly, lowered his head slightly and dared not look at the Libyan Count.

Such actions made the Libyan Count even more dissatisfied.

These are idiots who only know how to have fun.

The Count of Libya had contempt in his heart.

As an iron-fisted earl, the Earl of Libya knew very well how powerful the entire Orange nobility was.

The nobles possessed huge wealth, and every wealthy noble would choose to have more of their descendants become knights.

It is impossible to count the number of noble knights in Orange.

What about civilian knights? There are also many, but certainly not as many as noble knights, and some civilian knights are loyal to the nobles.

But under such circumstances, the power of the new party is still strong enough to overthrow the kingdom, although the probability is a bit low.

But the other party does have such strength.

This is because there are many lazy and gluttonous nobles, and a large number of them have risen to the top by taking potions. They may know how to use swords, but they are all fancy tricks.

Noble swordsmanship or something like that.

If we let them actually go to the battlefield, they would definitely be idiots.

As for civilian knights, they all rely on adventure, serve as mercenaries, or become thieves, and each of them is experienced in many battles.

This is how the gap in strength is narrowed.

The Count of Libya's intelligence network spread throughout Orange, and he knew everything that happened in Patton County.

Lucifer killed Knight Gandal and his son. The New Party felt that they had an opportunity and sent people to kill Baron Baron with a magic cannon.

Lucibarton led the guardian knights to fight against the vassal knights, but all the guardian knights of the Barton family were defeated.

The strength of the Patton family plummeted.

The Patton family's power was weakened, and the biggest beneficiary was the New Party.

They succeeded in weakening the military strength of a great noble on the ground.

The Count of Libya also knew what kind of person Baron Philip was.

And then this bunch of little country nobles started to commit suicide again. The idiot Viscount Silver Wing did something stupid and offended the kid from the Pompeii family.

As a result, the kid from the Pompeii family fanned the flames and the New Party killed Viscount Silver Wing, and the strength of Viscount Silver Wing's territory was greatly reduced.

The Count of Libya originally intended to stop this matter, but because Al, Libya told him a little bit about it, and the Count of Libya also had his own considerations, so he did not send anyone to stop this matter.

After this battle, it was a big question mark whether the kingdom still existed.

It is indeed a good idea to clean out the garbage among the nobles and let capable people come up.

As the consul of Orange and the supporter of all the great nobles, the Count of Libya actually condoned Luther and Pompey in dealing with Viscount Silver Wing. This was serious enough.

The New Party’s problems are already extraordinary.

"Gentlemen, do you have any suggestions in the face of the increasingly serious problem of the New Party?" Count Libya asked everyone with his hands crossed on the conference table.

"I think we can start from two aspects." Duke Ferger said.

This Duke was older than the Libyan Count, had a guttural nose, and had very sharp, sinister eyes.

As the Duke of Ferger of this generation, he made a huge contribution to his family's territory. Under his management, the strength of the Ferger family grew day by day, even to the point where it could vaguely compete with the Earl of Libya.

He also has a nickname, Eagle.

"Please continue, Mr. Duke," said the Count of Libya.

"The New Party is currently active, but they have not taken any action. It must be because they feel that they are not strong enough to overthrow the kingdom and are still accumulating strength. So we have to take the initiative."

Duke Felger said.

"But Mr. Duke, the members of the New Party usually hide their identities. He could be the owner of a tavern, an adventurer, or a mercenary. How could he take the initiative to attack?"

A great noble raised his own doubts.

"Thieves. Among all the large-scale bandit gangs currently entrenched in the entire Orange territory, there must be armed forces of the New Party among them. Even if they are not armed forces of the New Party, if Orange becomes chaotic, the thieves will not mind taking advantage of the situation to rob. So it is beneficial for us to eliminate these bandit gangs first."

Duke Felger said.

"But these thieves are very good at escaping, and it is not easy to wipe them out." The nobleman added.

"Kill as many as we can." Duke Ferger said firmly.

"Taking the initiative is one solution. We will discuss the details later. What about the other side?" asked the Count of Libya.

"I suggest that the nobles cancel unnecessary balls and unnecessary enjoyment activities, and use funds to recruit noble knights who are stranded outside to strengthen the military force in the territory. Gather together those nobles who have the power of knights but are artists or playboys, and teach them how to use swords. At least before they die, they can still resist."

Duke Ferger was also very contemptuous and rude to those pampered nobles.

"I think the Duke's idea of ​​taking the initiative and increasing military strength is very good. What about you?" The Libyan Count raised his head and asked the great nobles.

It's just a formality.

Since the two greatest nobles in Orange had agreed, the smaller followers would naturally follow suit.

Therefore, most of the great nobles expressed their agreement and approval.

Only the Earl of Windsor, Viscount Alton, Baron Billy, Marquis Shelton, and Baron Philip remained silent.

The great nobles all looked at them, because everyone knew that Luther, the little guy Pompey, was going to cause trouble, and now the highlight was about to begin.

The five great nobles looked at each other, and then Baron Billy spoke.

This Baron is the most capable and courageous of the five nobles present.

"We very much agree with Mr. Duke's strategy. But we also have a small addition," said Baron Billy.
