The preparations have been completed, so the next priority is to set up a team of officials in the territory.
The situation on Black Feather Island is relatively better. After all, there is old man Foster in charge, and Hermann and two other official knights of the Jacaranda family are assisting and helping. There should not be any major problems.
But after thinking about it carefully, it's time for me to take some time to meet the two official knights.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked Sam, who was standing guard outside the door, to summon the two official knights and tell them that there was an important matter that needed to be discussed with them.
Not long after, the two men rushed over in a hurry.
"Arcade Jacaranda..."
"Marc Jacaranda..."
"Greetings to Lord Viscount Amethyst!"
The two people in front of him were the other two official knights of the Jacaranda family who had been expelled from the family by Marquis Daniel.
According to common sense, since they have been expelled from the Jacaranda family, they naturally cannot continue to retain the Jacaranda surname.
Fortunately, when Marquis Daniel was dealing with matters related to the Jacaranda family, he was grateful for the old friendship and specially left a Jacaranda elf insect for them.
In this way, they can continue to use the surname Jacaranda.
This also allowed them to maintain the most basic dignity as a noble family.
"Um……"
Krober carefully looked at the two people in front of him. His sharp eyes penetrated their simple clothes and felt the water-attributed fighting spirit surging in their bodies.
The intensity of this fighting spirit was such that even among the formal knights, it was considered to be a deeply accumulated one.
"You've been on Black Feather Island for some time now. Have you considered the future of your family?"
Krober's voice was calm and low, but the power contained in it could not be ignored.
Mark and Arkad looked at each other. They understood that the answer to this question was related to the fate of the entire Jacaranda family.
Their Jacaranda family was simply expelled by Marquis Daniel, lost everything, and was forced to temporarily take refuge on Black Feather Island.
In other words, there is no clear subordinate relationship between them and Krober.
"We beg the Viscount to take in our Jacaranda family. We are willing to serve you loyally!"
As the head of the family, Arcade Jacaranda was the first to speak and express his determination.
His tone was firm and his eyes revealed his absolute loyalty to Krober.
Then he made a solemn oath, stating that he would always be loyal to Krober, fight for him through life and death, and never betray him.
This oath is as hard as steel and it moves people.
Krober nodded slightly to show his approval, and then he placed the sword in his hand gently on the shoulders of the two men in accordance with the traditional etiquette of the nobility.
"In the name of my lord, the great Grand Duke Veronica, I demand your absolute loyalty."
Krober's voice was low and firm, as if it contained endless power.
As soon as he finished speaking, Krober, holding a long sword, tapped the right shoulders of both of them in turn, symbolizing the transfer of responsibility and mission.
Then, Krobe moved the sword again and placed it on Arcade's left shoulder.
"In the name of the lord you both serve, I command you to be merciful."
His eyes became gentle and deep, revealing his insistence on justice and mercy.
Then, Krober tapped their left shoulders with his sword again, completing the ritual.
"Alright, both of you, please stand up. I have two important tasks to entrust to you."
Kroeber's tone was filled with calm determination.
"Arcade." He called one of them by name.
"Here!" Arcade responded quickly, a determined glint in his eyes.
"You will be responsible for organizing and leading the maritime patrol team and shouldering the responsibility of maintaining safety and order in the maritime area.
You will be responsible for everything from suppressing pirates to accepting refugees."
Kroeber explained in detail the content and objectives of the mission.
"As you wish, my lord!" Arkad stepped forward without hesitation, respectfully took the letter of appointment, and stepped aside, quietly waiting for the ceremony to end.
"Mark!"
"Here!" Mark responded quickly.
"You are responsible for the transportation of supplies between Black Feather Island and Amethyst Island. This is a mission that controls the lifeblood of the residents of Amethyst Island. No mistakes are allowed. Do you understand?"
"Understood, sir!"
Mark also accepted the appointment letter.
At this point, the simple allegiance ceremony ended, and two more official knights swore allegiance to Krober's men.
In the short term, Krober will continue to stay on Black Feather Island, which is currently the center of Krober's territory.
Only when the construction of Amethyst Island reaches a certain level and can be self-sufficient or even profitable, will it be time to gradually shift the economic and political focus.
In this way, Krober spent nearly two months on Black Feather Island.
During this period, all the purchased slaves and food had been delivered, and Krober had paid the remaining balance to the merchants.
From that moment on, only a few thousand gold coins remained in Heiyu Island's accounts.
However, Kroeber was not worried about this. He was waiting for the messenger he sent to Red Crab Island to bring him exciting good news.
