On the road to Silver Wing Territory, a team was moving slowly forward.

The team consisted of guards, knights, and several carriages. Two guards were in front and behind, holding pennants with the coat of arms of the Pompeii family embroidered on them.

In one of the carriages, Luther sat at the back, while Rebecca, Knight Gentelun and another official sat opposite Luther.

The official was about forty years old, right in the prime of his life. He had a handsome face and a big mustache, which was very popular among officials. He was well-dressed and looked energetic.

His name is Oreo Williams.

In the official system of Pompeii, he serves as Lelouch's deputy, helping Lelouch govern Pompeii.

This time, Luther takes him to the Silver Wing Territory, and he will become the actual ruler of the Silver Wing Territory.

And Rebecca, Jintelun will become the knight commander in the territory.

Just like the system Luther established in Pompeii, he just manipulated everything as the ruler, but did not do worldly affairs.

Just now, Luther listened to the intelligence obtained by Oreo and learned about the main members of the Silver Wing Territory rebellion.

"Don't worry too much about these rebels. I have been thinking about how to rule the Silver Wing Territory these days and have some mature ideas. I will tell you about them."

After listening to this, Luther did not comment but changed the subject.

Seems a bit nonchalant towards the enemy.

But Knight Rebecca and Mr. Oreo had no objection to this, because as long as they saw the Eagle King on Luther's right shoulder, they would feel confident.

Although the eagle king has turned into a little eagle, it is now squatting on its feet, taking a nap with its head between its wings, looking very cute.

Mr. Oreo and Knight Rebecca glanced at each other and quickly retracted their gazes to look at Luther.

"First of all, I am the Governor. Mr. Oreo, you are the Mayor of Silver Wing City and you are in charge of governing. Knight Rebecca, you are the Knight Commander and you are in charge of commanding the knights and guards."

Luther said, and after a pause, he continued, "After we arrive at Silver Wing City, we will first expel the Smith family bastards, and then deprive the territories of the nobles such as Bixing and Alton, and bring the other five towns and villages in Silver Wing Territory under the rule of the City Hall. The towns will have mayors, and the villages will have village chiefs."

Theoretically speaking, the nobles with real titles are vassals of the king, and the knight lords are vassals of the nobles, and both have the legitimacy of being appointed by the king.

But now Viscount Silver Wing no longer exists, and the Silver Wing Territory has entered the Governor's Era, so it seems unnecessary for the Knight Lord to exist.

At least Luther wanted to bring all of the Silver Wing Territory under his rule, and didn't want any lords or knights to exist, or any country within a country.

Even if Luther becomes a great noble in the future, there will be no knight lordship.

Having a territory means having the power to resist. Once the territory becomes vast and the power of the vassals grows, ambitions will arise.

So the principle is common, abolish local warlords and strengthen central power.

The current administrative system of the king's direct territory is implemented, with the king appointing court nobles as governors and city lords, and the title is not hereditary.

"The vassals will definitely rebel if that happens." Mr. Oreo and Knight Rebecca were immediately shocked. This was really too big a step.

"They dare not resist." Luther said with a faint smile.

The two of them took another look at the little eagle dozing on Luther's shoulder, and thought of the consul Count of Libya who was far away in the Golden City, and all the twenty-seven great nobles who supported Luther, and they fell silent.

Compared to Pompey's power, these people are too weak.

Luther went further.

I will seize your territory and make you serve me.

It sounds a bit far-fetched. But Luther still thinks it is very feasible. On the one hand, Luther has the Eagle King, who can suppress all the unusual movements of these knights.

On the other hand, now that the New Party has rebelled, the vassals who have lost their lands may become cannon fodder if they go to other people's territories. It is better for them to stay in the familiar Silver Wing Territory and gather under the banner of Pompeii to survive.

In short, Luther is now in control and can do whatever he wants.

Do it with bold and resolute actions.

Of course, you must never play with great nobles like the Count of Libya and the Duke of Ferger, otherwise you will be in trouble.

Knight Rebecca and Mr. Oreo looked at each other and then fell silent. They had to admit that Luther was the king now.

"After we took control of the entire Silver Wing Territory, our first task was to recruit the residents who had fled the Silver Wing Territory during the last chaos and resume production and commercial activities. The second task was to strengthen the training of the guards, increase the alert in the city, and impose a curfew at night. The third task was to train those noble knights who were powerful but had never fought. Finally, we worked with General Qunshan, my father, Knight Pompey, to set up checkpoints and defenses for the entire six territories."

Luther spoke out all his thoughts during this period in one breath.

Actually, it’s very simple to put it bluntly.

Strengthen iron-fisted rule and centralization of power internally.

Cooperate closely with dad externally to defend the six territories in response to the increasingly serious New Party problem.

As long as you can hold on, your future will be limitless.

"We understand." Mr. Oreo and Knight Rebecca had nothing to say. They looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Okay." Luther nodded with a smile, then closed his eyes and said, "We are almost at Silver Wing City. Let's take a rest first. When we get there, we will drive those clowns out of Silver Wing Territory."

As the conversation ended, the carriage fell silent.

The team headed quietly towards Silver Wing City.

Inside Silver Wing City.

The members of the Silver Wing family and the vassals launched a rebellion. They ordered the guards to close the Silver Wing city gates and tighten control inside.

To the outside world, a group of knights were sent out to spy on the actions of the Pompey family.

Luther summoned the knights and officials to come to Silver Wing City in a swaggering manner, which naturally did not escape the eyes and ears of these rebels.

After learning the news, the rebels held a small military meeting in the castle's hall.

Those attending the meeting included Hansa Smith, Oren Smith, Darren Smith, Bixing, Alton, and two other important officials of the Smith family.

The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn.
