The reason why the Golden City is so prosperous is that it is the political and economic center of the entire Orange and the only way to the heart of the kingdom.

Now, with the outbreak of war, the new party controlled central and most of southern Orange, greatly reducing commercial activities and hindering circulation.

Although there are pedestrians on the streets, they are all in a hurry and try not to go outside.

Because now the Count of Libya has ordered that if anyone with suspicious behavior is found, the guards and knights can arrest them directly.

Even the Golden City has become somewhat depressed.

But at least the Golden City is very safe and solid.

Libyan castle.

This is a 500-year-old castle. It is only three stories high, but it covers a very large area and has more than 800 rooms.

The configuration inside the castle is extremely luxurious.

Various paintings, sculptures and other artworks.

What is even more precious is the ubiquitous magic runes, various magic creations, huge magic arrays, etc. in this castle.

The Libyan Counts are a thousand-year-old noble family, and the heritage of this family is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The Count of Libya has several large study rooms in this castle.

In the study on the third floor, Count Libya opened the window to let in the sunlight.

The iron-fisted earl seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that the new party did not attack me as the governor, but attacked Marquis Parker and others in the central region. After the success, they took the stance of operating the central and southern regions and defending them."

Libya turned around and spoke to the people in front.

This is the important advisor to the Count of Libya, Knight Kidd, who looks like a very calm man.

"Even the New Party would be afraid of the strength of the Libyan Family. If they launched an attack on the Libyan Family, then most likely their titled knights would suffer heavy losses. Then the New Party's layout in Orange would be ruined. And now, they attacked the Marquis Parker, occupied the central and southern regions, and took a defensive stance. We can't do anything to them for a while."

Knight Kidd said.

"Even so, if they launch an attack on Libya, it will cause heavy damage to Libya's territory. Then the great nobles such as Marquis Parker and Duke Mellen will rise up and shake the Libyan family's rule over Orange. But now they have dealt with Marquis Parker. If the war is won, Libya and Ferge will be able to divide Orange."

The Libyan Count smiled cruelly.

The Earl of Libya was the governor elected by the great nobles of Orange, but if he could rule Orange directly, why would he need a governor? The Earl of Libya had ambitions to integrate all the territories of Orange, but the problem was that the Duke of Ferger was very powerful, and the Marquis of Parker and others were also strong.

It is impossible for the Count of Libya to wipe them out alone, so Orange is in a state of co-governance.

But now the new party has helped Libya clear the obstacles. Now most of the noble lords in Orange have been destroyed, leaving only three, namely Libya, Ferge, and the cunning little devil in the south.

Thinking of this cunning little devil, the Count of Libya also felt a little headache.

But he did not expect the situation to develop to this point. The New Party attacked and killed the three major nobles in the central region and annexed the smaller nobles in the south.

Originally Orange had four generals, but now only General of the Mountains and the Pompey family are still alive, according to reliable sources.

The little brat from Pompeii's family has made a fortune recently.

Taking advantage of the war, he seized the actual ruling power of six territories, upgraded them to a territory called "White Eagle Territory", and even designed a family emblem.

More importantly, with the influx of a large number of nobles into Pompeii and the protection of the mountain eagle, Pompeii's prosperity was inevitable.

A small country lord knight has risen to his current level in just a few years. That cunning kid from the Pompeii family is really capable of causing trouble.

"What do you think of Luther Pompey?" asked the Count of Libya.

"A cunning little devil, but ultimately useless." Knight Kidd thought for a moment before answering.

"Oh?" The Libyan Count showed interest.

"The Pompeii family has developed too fast without any foundation. Powerful nobles at least have a magic city with many wizard towers and even magic circles, like the Golden City. Those with shallower foundations, like Marquis Parker, have a castle that is difficult to conquer. What does the Pompeii family have? Nothing? Not to mention the combat knights from the top to the bottom."

Knight Kidd analyzed calmly.

"I think this cunning kid is very difficult to deal with because we don't know if he is hiding something else."

The Count of Libya said, and then laughed: "But it depends on how long this war lasts. If it ends in a few months, then the Pompeii family will have no chance. If we give this kid a few years to develop, the result is really a bit hard to say."

"You think highly of him." Knight Kidd was a little surprised.

Compared to big shots like the Iron-Fisted Count, the little brat from Pompeii's family is just a small kid.

"Whether it's the nobles or the wealthy, their evaluation of this brat is, he's a cunning brat. He's cunning and crafty, and he can't be underestimated."

Count Libya said.

"But no matter what, the Pompeii family is now incapable of intervening in this war. Even our power can only influence Orange. The real decisive battle will be between the king and the New Party. If there is a chance, we will kill Siddhartha and Parker, and then I will personally go to the capital to support the king. If there is no chance, then we can only wait for the result of the war between the king and the New Party. If the New Party fails in the war in the heart of the kingdom, then Siddhartha and Parker can only flee. If the king fails, then I, the Earl of Libya, will have to flee as well."

Knight Kidd was inevitably a little gloomy. Although the Earl of Libya was a giant in Orange, he was the weakest among the many separatist forces in the entire kingdom, including the king.

In Orange today, the Pompeii family is an insignificant existence.

In the current kingdom, the status of the Count of Libya may be only slightly higher than that of the Pompeii family.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps. This world is a very cruel place.
