"Please speak, Mr. Baron," said the Count of Libya.

"There are 28 territories in Orange. Territories such as the Earl's and the Duke's are naturally strong and not easily conquered by the New Party. However, there are more territories, such as our six territories in the south. Our strength is not strong. If the New Party launches an attack on us, we will easily defeat them one by one. So the five of us discussed and decided to set up general positions in the territories, establish a knight group that can support each territory at any time, and develop closer military cooperation."

Baron Billy said.

After hearing this, the nobles' eyes sparkled.

We are all people of status and position, so we don't whisper to each other, but think and ponder in our hearts.

Baron Billy is right.

The entire Orange is a large plain. Many years ago, this province was part of the Endless Forest. It was a territory that the nobles expanded from the hands of monsters after countless wars.

The entire territory is separated from the king's territory by a huge and vast mountain range. There are still many monsters in the mountains, which is not conducive to marching.

It is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

So after that big incident, the relationship between the king and the nobles quickly cooled, and the Orange nobles, led by the Earl of Libya, took the opportunity to stir up trouble, and now although they nominally belong to the king, they are actually an independent major force.

In theory, all the great nobles have the same political status, but in reality, whoever has the bigger fist is the big shot.

What best reflects the strength of the great nobles is the size of their territory, whether their economy is prosperous, the population under their command, and the number of knights.

Under such circumstances, the nobles were divided into many levels. The one at the top was naturally the Earl of Libya, followed by the Duke of Ferge, and their respective territories were very large.

In particular, the Earl of Libya's territory occupied one-tenth of the entire Orange territory, and its economy was extremely prosperous.

The Dukedom of Ferge is not as good as the Earldom of Libya, but the gap is slowly narrowing.

After that came the middle-level nobles, such as the Marquis of Parker, who was a very powerful noble.

After that are the small territories belonging to Patton Territory and Silver Wing Territory. There are a lot of these small territories, at least eighteen if not twenty.

Small households have weak wind resistance and are naturally the most likely to be destroyed.

Under such circumstances, uniting these small territories, establishing a unified military organization, and establishing the position of general would be very beneficial to the current situation.

The lesser nobles were all very excited, and the greater nobles' eyes flickered for a moment, but they did not raise any objection.

Because the establishment of the position of general is very critical.

Before this, the small nobles of Orange had no way to compete with the big nobles, but if the position of general was established and the forces were connected.

These small nobles now have the strength to compete with the big nobles.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the great nobles to increase the number of generals and make the lesser nobles powerful.

It is also not in line with Orange tradition.

But as the Count of Libya thought, if the new party succeeded, the kingdom would be destroyed and Orange would be reduced to ruins.

There is no point in clinging to tradition at this time.

"I agree."

“I agree.”

"I agree."

The nobles expressed their opinions one after another.

The other minor nobles had to go through a long period of wrangling and adjustment before they could form an alliance and establish the position of general.

"Do the five gentlemen have any candidates for general?" A nobleman who was not very well-informed asked a rather stupid question.

"These territories in our south are small rural territories, and there are no strong knights. Only the contemporary Knight Pompey, Sol Pompey, is a great knight, so Knight Pompey will serve as the general, and I will be his deputy."

Baron Billy replied.

"So it's him." Although the nobleman was not well-informed, he had heard about the recent events in the Pompeii family and nodded in understanding.

"I have also heard of this brave and warlike knight. Is he in the Golden City now? Oh, and his troublesome son as well." asked the Count of Libya.

"Pompeii and his son are in the hall," Baron Billy replied.

"Ding-ling-ling." The Libyan Count struck a small magic object on the table, and a crisp bell sounded. Soon after, a knight opened the door and walked in.

"Your Excellency."

"Please invite the Pompeii father and son in." said the Count of Libya.

"Yes." The knight responded and left the hall.

After the knight arrived at the hall, he informed Luther and Old Sol of the matter. Luther and Old Sol straightened their clothes and stood up seriously.

"Don't worry, there are a lot of people supporting you now." Mr. Al encouraged Pompey and his son.

Then, Luther and Old Thor walked towards the meeting room together, while the knight stayed outside the door and closed it behind him.

Although there was an empty seat for Viscount Silver Wing in the conference room, it was obvious that Pompey and his son did not have that status, so they came to the front of the conference table and stood in front of the great nobles.

Luther didn't care about this, because if the new party rioted, many of the nobles present would be ruined and the situation in Orange would be reshuffled.

If the Pompeii family still existed at that time, there would definitely be a place for them here.

Old Thor held his head high, his hands hanging naturally, and he showed the same momentum as when he led his troops to war, as if he was a general facing the king.

Luther stood obediently on the left side of old Saul.

But even though Old Thor was very imposing, many nobles' eyes were on Luther Pompey, the upstart of Orange and the man behind the death of Viscount Silver Wing.

Many great nobles were amazed and moved.

The young are to be feared.

Because Luther was young and had no beard, there was still a hint of childishness on his face.

A very young person.

"Your Excellency, Archon." Old Thor lowered his head slightly and bowed to the Count of Libya.

"Mr. Knight." The Libyan Count also nodded.

"According to Baron Billy's request, we plan to establish general positions in six remote southern territories, including Billy Territory and Windsor Territory, so that each territory can carry out closer military operations during wartime. Baron Billy proposed that you be appointed as the general. Mr. Knight, what do you plan to do first when you take this position?"

asked the Count of Libya.
