Chapter 391 The King’s Choice



For these great nobles, the title is not important; what is important is strength.

But what happened was that the strength of these three great nobles could be distinguished by their titles.

The Grand Duke of the North owns five provinces and his strength is even comparable to that of the royal family.

The Marquis of Cambridge directly controls the territory of a province and can command the military power of another province, and can control as many as two provinces.

The Count of Libya, however, could only control Orange.

Even the rise of Duke Ferger made the old lion king, the Count of Libya, feel threatened.

From the king's perspective, the most threatening forces come from the north and the west. As for the south, all he needs to do is get rid of the Grand Duke of the North and the Marquis of Cambridge.

The Count of Libya, the Duke of Ferge and others surrendered.

Therefore, a large number of excellent spies in the kingdom are concentrated in the north and the west, but there are not many spies in Orange, and intelligence is somewhat scarce.

This time, the information was collected in just an hour and a half, which can be said to be very rushed.

But thanks to Luther, this kid is so capable. Not to mention that before the war, Luther Pompey was already a big shot in Orange. During the war, Pompey had become one of the only three great nobles in Orange.

So although the intelligence gathering was hasty, we were able to basically collect everything that Luther was doing.

After listening to Wang Du Taling's report, even a shrewd and calculating figure like Lord Buffett couldn't help but be a little surprised.

A few years ago, Pompeii was just a family of knight lords.

And now, the Pompeii family has occupied six territories and has become a medium-sized separatist force.

From the information in the newspaper, it is not difficult to see that the rise of the Pompeii family is closely related to one person. Before this, Grand Duke Buffett believed that the key figure in the rise of the Pompeii family was Sol Pompeii.

Unexpectedly, on the contrary, the rise of the Pompeii family was due to that little one.

"The development model of this family is not that the father creates the family business and leaves it to his son, but the son creates the family business and the father is responsible for the force. The father and son cooperate very well."

Mr. Buffett was silent for a long time and then said.

"A little devil who knows how to make trouble. The actions of the Pompeii family this time were full of deep meaning and purpose. I'm afraid they were also the work of this little devil."

There was a hint of emotion in the king's voice.

The saying that has become part of China means that the young are to be feared.

A kid in his early twenties dared to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of every opportunity. He finally waited for the opportunity from the New Party to seek a title for his family.

Not only is he courageous and decisive, he is also meticulous.

Every move he makes is very aggressive and very stable.

"What do you want to do?" asked Mr. Buffett.

"This brat is really dangerous, and he calculated that I needed his strength. That's why he caused today's incident, causing all the important officials in the capital to come and watch his performance. I'm a little angry, but I have to admit that his idea is right. The biggest problem of the kingdom is the New Party."

The king said.

"This kid is so troublesome, Mr. Archduke. Do you think he can get rid of the Count of Libya and the Duke of Ferger and dominate Orange and become a threat to the kingdom? Or can he keep his territory under the watchful eyes of the Count of Libya and the Duke of Ferger?"

' asked the king.

Mr. Buffett analyzed it calmly and then said.

"And judging from this kid's resume, he won't be easily dealt with by Libya and Firge."

"As the Grand Duke said, if I appoint the Pompeii family as my vassal and make them great nobles with real titles, then the situation in Orange will become a three-way balance. As you know, a triangle is the most balanced, and it is the most difficult for anyone to swallow up anyone. It is in the interests of the royal family for Orange to maintain a balance among the three families and not unify. As for Count Pompeii of Drake King Chao, this family will not easily interfere in the affairs of other countries, not to mention that the Drake royal family will not allow it."

The king said.

"I understand." Grand Duke Buffett nodded. The king's meaning was very clear. He wanted to prevent Orange from unifying. Before that, he would use the power of the Pompey family to eliminate the New Party's rebels in Orange.

"I will prepare the appointment documents right away and keep the gates of the capital closed to prevent the news from being passed out. Urge the father and son to return to Orange and join forces with the Count of Libya and Duke Ferge to deal with the New Party."

Not long ago, Buffett specifically asked whether the entrance and exit of the capital was closed. It was for this reason.

Don't let the news get out.

"Wait a moment, Grand Duke." The king called out to Grand Duke Buffett.

"Your Majesty, do you think this is inappropriate?" Buffett was a little confused. He thought he had understood the king's intention.

"I do think that it would be beneficial for the Wang family to use Pompey's power to eliminate the New Party's rebels in Orange, and then let Orange form three forces that can't do anything to each other. But I also think that if we can do another thing, it will be more beneficial to the Wang family."

The king said.

"What's the matter?" Mr. Buffett narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a thoughtful expression.

"I have a lovely great-granddaughter, Countess Lucy. Grand Duke, you give the father and son two choices. One is to issue a letter of appointment, appointing the Pompey family as hereditary earls. The other is to recruit them, marry my great-granddaughter to Luther Pompey, and appoint Sol Pompey as the Marquis of the Court and Luther Pompey as the Earl of the Court."

The king said.

"Both father and son were granted court titles?" Grand Duke Buffett was a little surprised because this had never happened before.

This shows how much the king valued Pompey and his son.

"Sol Pompey is an earth knight holding a bloodthirsty monster. It is normal for him to be conferred the title of a court marquis. But I think his value is not as good as his son, Luther Pompey. If we can recruit this father and son, it will be worth it even if we pay a higher price. What's more, it is just an empty court title."

The king acknowledged his importance to Pompey and his son.

"I understand. I will go and summon the two Mr. Pompeys right away." Grand Duke Buffett bowed.

"I'm counting on you, Mr. Grand Duke." The king's voice revealed a little fatigue, proving that it was not easy for the king to be active in the wizarding kingdom.

In fact, it is not easy for King Odin III to sit on the throne.

The three human kingdoms have diplomatic problems.

The New Party rebelled and was the enemy of the nobles.

The Grand Duke of the North, the Marquis of Cambridge, and the Earl of Libya are at odds with the royal family due to internal problems.

If the kingdom didn't have three pillars now, the Wang family might have been defeated long ago.

"You're too kind. It's my responsibility to serve you." Mr. Buffett shook his head.
