After a long silence, Martin spoke, "Since things cannot be changed, let's think about how to solve it."
As he spoke, Martin turned his head and said to the Earl: "Father, now, in your name, I invite all the nobles in the northern territory. In seven days, as long as there is a noble with a knight order arriving at Frost Zero Pass, they can divide up the mineral veins on Frost Zero Plain. The White family will not take a penny, and will give all to the families who guard Frost Zero Pass together, and let them get the deserved proportion according to the number of knight orders they bring."
The count thought for a while and soon understood Martin's intention. It was also a conspiracy. Did he want money or life?
As the giant communication crystal was sent out, many nobles responded. Obviously, in the face of huge wealth, no noble could hold on. Some nobles did not have enough knights, so they directly hired several B-level mercenary groups to go to Frost Zero Pass.
After Martin accepted the kingdom's order, the Royal Second, Third, and Fifth Legions withdrew from Dragon's Teeth Pass without hesitation and returned to their respective bases.
During these seven days, the atmosphere was extremely lively. Upon learning of the situation, many nobles called on their friends and some even brought all the knights from their territories to Frost Zero Pass. The nobles inside and outside the pass were completely frantic, and even the nobles from the Central and Southern Territories wanted to get involved.
After all, Earl White was a noble who was promoted from a commoner. Unlike those nobles with a long history, Earl White and Martin knew about the mineral veins in the Frost Zero Plains, but what they didn't know was that the mineral veins underground in the Frost Zero Plains had enormous reserves.
Since the founding of the Kingdom of Charlemagne, various mineral veins have been mined in the Frost Zero Plains, and the mining has not decreased at all. The old nobles have been jealous for a long time, but have been frustrated that they have no chance to take action.
However, an opportunity arose. Even though he knew that there were big problems at Frost Zero Pass, he could not resist the temptation of huge wealth.
After accepting the parliament's proposal, Martin set off back to Luoqiu Town and took half of the Dawn Knights to Frost Zero Pass to change guard.
Before leaving, Martin called Yoder and the others over and told them, "After I leave, you can continue with your work as usual. If there is anything you can't handle, send me a communication crystal.
Afterwards, he called the deputy leader of the Knights of Dawn over and said seriously, "Those Chambers of Commerce must not be allowed to appear near Luoqiu Town. If they do, they must be apprehended. It would be better to apprehend them by mistake than to let them go. Once they are apprehended, we will mine them first."
Martin sent a message to William at the Magic Copper Mine, asking him to continue mining as usual and to find Yoder if he needed anything. If he couldn't handle it, he should send the communication crystal to me and not force himself to do it, causing me to lose gold coins in vain.
After finishing the instructions, he took half of the Dawn Knights to Frost Zero Pass.
In the royal capital, when the king learned about Martin's operation, the expression on his face was very interesting. It was not until someone came to call him to a meeting that the king came to his senses.
In fact, many people in the Kingdom Parliament have thought about this method, including the king, but when they know, see, and touch it, no one will do it.
Originally, the plan was to have Martin lead the way, thereby consuming the strength of the Orc Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom, and slowly dragging them to the Dragon's Teeth Pass. Afterwards, the Kingdom of Charlemagne and the Holy Land of Stars would simultaneously dispatch legions to attack the Dwarf Kingdom of Gondor from the west, annexing the western border of the Kingdom of Gondor in one fell swoop, and then threatening the Dwarf Capital.
Afterwards, the Kingdom of Charlemagne and the Holy Land of Star Glory divided their forces to attack the coalition of dwarves and orcs outside Dragon's Teeth Pass, pushed the battle line outside Frost Zero Pass, recovered the lost Frost Zero Plains, and returned it to the hands of the kingdom.
The situation has changed now and is not going according to the script at all. With the nobles' crazy increase in troops, if things go wrong, they may be able to reach the Orc Kingdom.
This is not in the interests of the kingdom, and most importantly, the Frost Zero Plains cannot be recovered.
Just when the Royal Capital Council was having a headache about this, Martin had already arrived at Frost Zero Pass with the Knights of Dawn.
After completing the handover with the Knight Commander who was guarding the gate, the Knight Commander led the Knights away. Martin asked Betan and the others to clear out a piece of open space, the bigger the better.
As time passed, several knight groups could be seen heading towards the Oath City of the Lost Sword.
After arriving, they replenished their supplies and headed straight for Frost Zero Pass without even saying hello. In the following days, the Knights came in an endless stream and almost bought out all the supplies in the Sword Oath City. The Earl had to urgently mobilize supplies from other places to barely maintain the situation.
The Earl was delighted when he saw the nobles rushing to Frost Zero Pass in droves. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the orcs attacking the Sword of Promise City.
Martin settled the nobles and knights who arrived one after another, and told each noble that after seven days, the mineral veins in the Frost Zero Plains would be distributed according to the proportion of the knights they brought with them.
When the nobles heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. Wasn't this what they came here for? After getting the definite answer, the nobles settled down with peace of mind. After seven days, they began to distribute the minerals.
As time passed, more and more nobles arrived with their knights, and Frost Zero Pass welcomed the largest number of knights stationed there.
Only four days have passed, and there are still three days left. You can imagine how powerful the force will be by then.
However, nobles from the Central and Southern territories also came with their knights, and some conflicts of varying sizes occurred.
"Why did you nobles from the Central and Southern Territories come to the Northern Territory? Don't you look down on us?"
"That's right. The White Family only invited people from the Northern Territory. Aren't you ashamed to come here from the Central and Southern Territories?"
Just like that, you and I were mocking each other.
However, the nobles in the southern and central regions were not pushovers either. When they realized they couldn't win the argument with words, they resorted to violence.
For a while, everyone was fighting in a mess, and it was impossible to tell who was who. Later, they started fighting anyone who saw someone, and the scene was very chaotic.
When Martin heard about it, he rushed over with the Knights of Dawn. It took a lot of effort to separate them, but thankfully no one had resorted to swordplay. They were only injured, and a few bottles of healing potion would heal them.
Martin felt that this was not a good idea. If they continued to make trouble every day, it would be troublesome if they couldn't control themselves and started using swords.
Afterwards, he told several leading nobles to wait seven days to discuss the issue of whether to stay or leave, and it would be better not to meet now.
They discussed it for a while and after they agreed, Martin redivided their station, and the turmoil was finally settled.
Seven days passed quickly.
Early in the morning of the eighth day, Martin called all the nobles to a temporary open-air meeting hall to discuss how to divide the city defense area and the mineral veins of the Frost Zero Plains.
