Big people work harder.
It’s much simpler for small people.
The sky that Luther could see now was Orange. He tried his best to eat as much as possible to get fat, so that he could survive the winter.
Luther's integration of the White Eagle Territory was relatively smooth, and he did not encounter much resistance. Even if there was resistance, he dealt with it quickly.
The main reason is that the current strength of the Pompeii family is too strong.
Luther made an alliance with the Mountain Eagle, which was Luther's own boasting. The Eagle King only promised Luther to protect him for a period of time.
But outsiders didn't know, so the knight lords all thought that the Pompeii family was extremely powerful. When the Pompeii family asked them for their territory, they obediently took the money.
Afterwards, Luther sent trustworthy officials and knights to carry out military and political reforms in various cities. All knights who were willing to stay and serve the Pompey family were recruited.
But now that the New Party is in rebellion, the knights have nowhere to go and can only serve the Pompey family for a living.
This ensured that the military forces of each city were not lost.
In terms of politics, the construction of secondary and tertiary town halls was carried out to keep the ruling power in the hands of the Pompeii family.
But there is a saying that goes, people are all humane.
When Luther was working on this, Old Sol, who was stationed in Silver Wing City, wrote a letter to Luther. So Luther invited two people to Pompeii Castle for a reception.
One is Naz, Wilson, and the other is Babana, Gandhar’s wife, Lady Gandhar.
"Please take a seat." Luther invited the two to sit down in the hall, then looked up at them.
Natsu Wilson looks a little haggard. This knight, who appears feminine but is actually quite upright and powerful, is a little confused about his life after losing his status as a lord.
Look at Lady Gandalf again. This lady is extremely elegant and beautiful. As Babana, the wife of Knight Gandalf, she is also a very prominent figure in the Patton territory. However, sitting in front of Luther at this moment, she can't help but feel a little nervous.
"Mr. Naz, Mrs. Gandalf." Luther said to them, "What do you think of Pompeii?"
Naz Wilson and Mrs. Gandalf looked at each other. They were invited together. But before that, Luther did not mention the purpose of inviting them.
Now he asked about Pompeii, which made the two of them confused.
But after all, the two of them were big shots in the territory, so they quickly calmed down.
"Pompeii is a city with unlimited potential," said Natsu Wilson, and Lady Gandalf nodded slightly.
"Yes. Pompeii is a city with unlimited potential, and it may even surpass the Golden City in the future. So are you two interested in participating in the development of Pompeii?"
Luther asked with a smile.
This is what old Saul said in the letter.
Old Thor was worried about his friend and his wife who had lost their land and had difficulty making a living. He thought that since his family was selling land anyway, he might as well sell some land to Naz Wilson and Lady Gandalf at a lower price so that they could participate in the construction plan of Pompeii.
"Thank you, Luther." Naz Wilson realized this immediately, so a look of gratitude immediately appeared on his feminine face and he said to Luther.
Pompeii's potential is absolutely limitless.
Although he lost his territory, he received 30,000 gold coins as compensation. If he used this money to invest in Pompeii's real estate business, he would make a fortune.
It seems like it would be a good idea to become a merchant family in the future.
Mrs. Gandalf also showed gratitude on her face.
"Then I will introduce Mr. Mayor to discuss the details with you two later. But before that, I would like to offer you a job, Mr. Natsu."
"What job?" asked Nazz Wilson, but he knew in his heart that it must be a combat job.
"There are a large number of knights gathered in Pompeii. Some of them have brought a lot of wealth and are very rich. Some knights have difficulties in life for various reasons. I hope to recruit a group of knights and form a new knight order. I hope you will serve as the general."
Luther said.
"Is it okay to be a junior knight?" asked Nazz Wilson.
In theory, the lowest level of knights recruited to form a knightly order is intermediate knights, so that they can form combat effectiveness. Some knightly orders even only recruit high-level knights.
"Yes. No matter if you are a junior knight, a mid-level knight, or a senior knight, as long as you are willing to sign a contract and work for the Pompeii family, I will provide you with a high salary. If you are disabled or die in battle, you will also receive a generous pension."
Luther nodded.
"How many people are there?" said Nazz Wilson.
"Three hundred," Luther replied.
"Okay, I'll take the job." Nazz Wilson agreed readily. Anyway, he didn't know anything except fighting, and he was unemployed now, so the job Luther provided him was just right.
And emotionally speaking, it is acceptable to work for the Pompeii family.
"Okay, let's go meet the mayor first to discuss business, and then we'll ask the city hall to allocate funds to you and arrange a new location for the Knights."
Luther stood up and said.
The two of them also stood up and went to the city hall.
In this territory, Luther Pompeii was of course first-rate in doing things, so the details were quickly finalized, leaving the business matters behind. Naz Wilson immediately took some people with him and went to Pompeii to recruit knights.
Luther returned to the study in the castle and sat down.
Open the windows to let in the wind.
The winter wind is very cold, but the knight is not afraid of the cold. Instead, the wind blowing on Luther feels very comfortable.
Then Luther pulled out a chair, sat down, and subconsciously placed his hands on the desk.
The reason for the rush to establish a new knightly order was that Luther also realized a problem.
The White Eagle Territory was a large territory, enough to make the Pompeii family a great noble family. However, the Pompeii family's foundation was too shallow.
A magical city that looks like a fortress and is full of magical creations.
A large number of great knights, senior knights and other high-level combatants.
The number of wizards in the territory.
These are what the Pompeii family currently lacks.
More importantly, the Pompeii family did not have a title knight. Although outsiders thought that the Pompeii family had a mountain eagle, Luther knew that it was just a paper tiger.
The Eagle King only promised to protect him for a period of time, after which the Eagle King would fly away.
The reason why the White Eagle Territory was established and exists now is because the New Party and the great nobles were at war. What if the war ends? The White Eagle Territory might be a piece of fat meat.
Luther needs to develop and accumulate strength.
