In the north, there are top nobles such as the Count of Libya and the Duke of Ferger; in the center, there are first-class nobles such as the Marquis of Parker; and in the south, there are small country nobles.
This group of nobles together constitutes the entire political structure of Orange.
Although Libya was powerful at that time, it was not the only one. The Duke of Ferger was as powerful as Libya, and there were also knights in the family of Marquis Parker.
So, everyone elected the Count of Libya as the Archon of Orange, but some specific major issues could be negotiated and agreed upon through the Orange Council.
At that time, the Count of Libya was in his prime, the Duke of Ferger was as strong as an ox, and the Marquis of Parker and others were also extremely powerful.
At that time, what kind of person was Luther Pompey? The heir of the rural knight lord, the next generation of Pompey knights. A small noble among the rural nobles. There was also the Lord Barton family above.
Luther would do a lot of things, including building the city of Pompeii, which made the Pompeii family close to the Patton family in strength, and their strongest vassal, Gandalf.
Later, Old Thor became a great knight, and Baron Patton died. The Pompeii family put down the civil strife of the Patton family in one fell swoop and became the most powerful family in the Patton territory.
Later, Viscount Silver Wing committed suicide, so Luther killed him. He conspired with the Billy, Windsor and other families, and proposed that the Earl of Libya convene the Orange Grand Council, ostensibly to deal with the New Party.
In fact, he wanted to obtain the six surrounding territories including the Viscount Silver Wing Territory.
The result was a success.
Old Sol became the General of the Mountains, and Luther became the Governor of the Silver Wings. The New Party broke out, and the Pompeii family formed an alliance with the Eagle of the Mountains, successfully survived, and became one of the three great nobles of Orange.
The New Party attacked the Earl of Windsor and others again, so Luther used both soft and hard means to control six territories, upgraded them to White Eagle Territory, and called himself the Governor of White Eagle.
Isn't this fucking amazing?
Isn’t the history of success glorious enough?
In just a few years, Luther and Pompey, who were very capable of making a fuss, built their own fortunes to a scale that some people could not achieve in a lifetime, several lifetimes, or even dozens of lifetimes.
How many people are talking about this matter secretly.
Some people are envious, some are jealous, and some people talk dirty behind your back.
How many people are dissatisfied.
Because of the outbreak of the New Party, many nobles from the central and southern regions fled to the White Eagle Territory with their families. Most of these people were evil, obedient on the surface, but secretly envious and jealous.
If it weren't for the alliance between White Eagle and Mountain Eagle and the rebellion of the New Party, White Eagle would have become the only refuge in the southern region and the nobles would have become restless long ago.
What's more, Luther later abolished serfdom, established civilian schools and took a series of anti-aristocratic actions.
Some people spitted and tried to drown Luther.
But now, does anyone still have such an idea?
there is none left.
One person can be jealous of another person.
Serfs will envy commoners, commoners will envy rich peasants, rich peasants will envy rich merchants, rich merchants will envy rich people, rich people will envy nobles, and nobles will envy lords.
But would the serfs be jealous of their lords?
The serfs would only kneel down and lick their lords.
Let’s not talk about other nonsense for now.
The two knightly orders in the White Eagle Territory, the Knights of the Mountains and the Knights of the Expeditionary Force, are deterrent forces.
Let’s not talk about this here, it’s just empty talk.
Luther has formed an alliance with the Mountain Eagle, which is also a powerful force, but we don't need it.
We can also not talk about the fact that old Thor became the Earth Knight and held a bloodthirsty monster in his hands.
Luther is having an affair with Miss Red Dragon, so we can keep it a secret.
Even if the king confers the title of Earl of White Eagle to Old Thor and officially upgrades the Territory of White Eagle to the Territory of Earl of White Eagle, this can be considered empty talk.
Let’s talk about one thing. Now Orange rules the world.
Who is in charge of the ups and downs?
The most powerful one is undoubtedly the Earl of Libya. However, such a powerful Libyan family divides Orange equally with the White Eagle.
Doesn't it prove that both sides are equal? Think about all the great nobles in Orange back then, not to mention the Marquis of Parker and the Earl of Windsor, the Duke of Felger was defeated by the White Eagle family themselves, and they all perished.
The small family of knight lords survived and grew bigger and bigger.
And now it is on par with Libya. This is strength.
While the serfs were jealous of the common people, they were not jealous of the lords.
Many nobles would look down on the Pompeii Knights family, but no one would look down on the White Eagle Earl family.
Instead, they would bow to Earl White Eagle and greet him, "Your Excellency!"
When they saw Luther, they would bow and call him "Sir."
This is the reputation and glory of the White Eagle Heraldry Family of Pompeii in Orange today.
Luther and Pompey were also known as big figures back then, because they had extensive connections in the wealthy circle of Orange.
But is that the real big shot? No.
That's just taking advantage of the situation, not even taking advantage of the power of another.
Now Luther and Pompey are the big men in Orange, real tigers.
Faced with the power of Pompeii's silver emblem today, many old friends are filled with emotion and admiration.
Kaiyue City! This city was the main city of Patton Territory in the past. Baron Patton ruled here like a small king, with his own people, army, officials, and vassals.
As the White Eagle grew stronger, the traces of the Barton family in this city became less and less. What became more prominent was the traces of the White Eagle emblem.
“Crash!”
The flags with white eagle emblems hung on the four city gates fluttered in the wind, declaring to everyone entering and leaving the city every day who the boss here is.
But although there are fewer and fewer traces of the Patton family, there are still some left.
This was Luther and Old Saul's care for the Patton family, allowing Baron Philip to inherit the family title and receive a sum of money every year.
And the property of the Patton family will be retained.
So now Baron Philip still lives in Baron Castle and leads a carefree life. Not only that, the assets he has on hand are more sufficient than those of his father, Baron Barton.
Why?
Because of the care of Pompey and his son, Baron Philip started a business in Pompeii and made a fortune.
Now Baron Philip not only has no resentment towards his current life, but is full of satisfaction.
By the way, Baron Philip, like Baron Billy, lost his title at the hands of Luther. The two had a common language and did business in Pompeii, so they became friends after a few visits.
Today, Baron Billy came to Kaiyue City and entered Patton Castle as a guest to visit friends.
As they chatted, the topic inevitably fell on White Eagle's current power, and everyone was filled with emotion.
real.
This is not an ordinary story of how one gets rich. It happened too fast, like a magic trick.
