"I can't conjure up a large number of wizards and knights out of thin air to serve the Pompeii family."

"Damn the New Party. If it hadn't been for the New Party's mess, I could have become a nobleman after twenty years of growth. Now, although I've become a fat man, my heart is beating fast. I feel nervous and excited."

Luther supported his chin with his hand, and then simply put his chin on the desk. His eyes rolled around, but he had no idea what to do.

Actually, there are some ideas.

Establish common schools and improve the literacy rate of the people.

Establish extraordinary schools and increase the number of wizards and knights.

You can also carry out an industrial transformation in the territory and let the territory enter the industrial revolution. As long as it enters the industrial revolution era, the economy of the White Eagle Territory will take off.

These are all very safe methods, but the problem is that they all take time.

It takes seven or eight years to train a knight, starting from the age of eight to fifteen or sixteen.

To train a wizard, you may spend your entire life as a wizard apprentice.

Entering the industrial age is not just a simple talk. It requires arrangements in all aspects and takes time.

And how much time would the conflicts and wars between the New Party and the nobles leave for Luther?

"Ah. How annoying." Luther scratched his head, then rolled onto the desk, bent his legs, and put his hands on the back of his head.

Relax, relax.

Empty your mind and you will get the answers you want.

Luther is hypnotizing himself.

At this moment, a knight walked in from outside. He was stunned at first when he saw Luther, and then he reported as if nothing had happened: "Governor, the guards reported that there is a large group of knights outside the north gate who want to enter the city. The leader claims to be your friend, the Knight of the Battle Axe, the Knight of Orleans. The captain of the guards did not dare to let them in, so he sent someone to inform them."

After Luther heard this, he was immediately delighted. He recalled a previous conversation he had with the Knight of Orleans, in which the Knight of Orleans said that he wanted to give up his mercenary career and come to Pompeii to be a guard.

Luther’s answer at the time was that the door of Pompeii’s house is always open to you.

This time, not only did the Tomahawk Knight and the Orleans Knight come, they also brought a large number of knights with them.

And the Pompeii family lacks fighting power.

Luther was of course very surprised, but also somewhat confused.

"The Sabretooth Mercenaries are stationed in the Golden City, how could they come to Pompeii?" Although he was confused, the most important thing at this time was to welcome them.

Luther said to the knight, "Have the guards welcome everyone into the city, give them tents to rest, and ask the Knight of the Battle Axe and the Knight of Orleans to come to the castle to see me."

"Yes." The knight responded and went down to deal with it.

Luther came down from the study to the hall and sat for a while before he saw the Battle Axe Knight, the Orleans Knight, and Mr. Al.

"Gentlemen." Luther stood up and shook hands with the three of them, and then the four of them sat down.

Everyone’s status is different now. In the past, Luther was a burdensome little kid in their eyes, but now he is the famous Governor of White Eagle.

But the Axe Knight's attitude remained the same. He sat down and said with a smile, "Luther, we have come to you for help."

"Welcome, welcome." Luther also said with a smile, and then expressed his doubts, "But now the New Party is causing chaos in the central and southern regions. How did you get here?"

The Axe Knight said with a smile.

Luther understood.

The entire territory of Orange Province is surrounded by endless forests in the east, south and west. Since the main road is blocked, we have to find a way out.

The mercenaries are all battle-hardened knights who can do this.

As for the Axe Knight's concerns, Luther agreed. The mercenaries were not from the Libyan army, and would definitely be cannon fodder if a war broke out.

"How many people are there in total?" This is the question that Luther is most concerned about.

"There are nearly a thousand people, including five senior knights, thirty intermediate knights, and one hundred and fifty-two junior knights." The Tomahawk Knight said with a smile.

"Mr. Knight, you have brought me a group of knights. That's great." Luther smiled happily.

"That's not all. Have you seen Mr. El? He is accompanied by four junior combat wizards." The Axe Knight pointed at Mr. El and said cheerfully.

"I also have a wizarding group." Luther was a little surprised, but even happier.

"Don't worry, sir. I will make proper arrangements for your accommodation, food, and clothing. As for the knights, I plan to reorganize them into a new knightly order, the Battle Axe Knights, and you will be the general."

Luther made a promise first, then spoke to the Axe Knight.

The members of the Sabretooth Tiger Mercenaries were different from the nobles who had fled. Luther had to take care of the lives of the mercenaries.

"General? That's a very impressive title." The Axe Knight was stunned for a moment, then joked.

The members of a general knight order are at least intermediate knights, and the leader is usually a great knight.

There was nothing Luther could do but lower his requirements.

The Axe Knight never thought that he would become a general one day.

"Haha." Luther smiled, then personally took the Axe Knight and others to the City Hall, asking Mayor Lelouch to provide a base for the Sabretooth Mercenaries and arrange proper accommodation for the families brought by the members.

Afterwards, Luther also met the other three combat wizards who came with him this time. In addition to the official wizards, there were also some wizard apprentices.

Luther also met with them.

It mainly expresses the host's hospitality.

After meeting these wizards, Luther had the idea of ​​forming a formal wizard group.

Every large territory has a considerable number of wizards. The more prosperous the city, the more wizards there are. Because wizards make money by selling potions, the more prosperous the city, the more wealthy people there are.

Rich people often want to take drugs to get a knight's body.

So there is supply and demand.

In such a situation, every powerful lord would have a group of wizards who served as both magical advisors and combatants.

Of course, in order to gain the loyalty of wizards, lords usually have to pay a certain price.
