After the nobles were seated, Martin came to the central podium, adjusted the magic loudspeaker, and prepared to begin his speech.
"Everyone, I think you have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Without further ado, I will divide the mineral veins of the Frost Zero Plains according to the knights you brought."
At this time, an earl interrupted Martin and said, "Martin, let's not rush to divide the mineral veins. I want to ask the nobles in the Central and Southern territories if they also have a share."
The Earl of the Southern Territory, who was sitting opposite, immediately stood up and started cursing at the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory was not happy with this, and the two sides exchanged insults, almost resorting to violence.
Martin looked at the situation and immediately increased the output of the magic loudspeaker. The sound was so loud that it silenced all the nobles who were arguing.
After a while, Martin said: "What's the point of you arguing like this? In today's meeting, we are not only going to divide up the mineral veins on the Frost Zero Plain. What if I say that we can divide up the mineral veins outside the Frost Zero Pass, and even attack the Orc Kingdom?"
For a moment, no one present reacted. They hadn't even calculated the mines in Frost Zero Plain, but now they were thinking about the mineral veins outside Frost Zero Pass?
Martin looked at everyone's confused expressions and began to explain: "I counted, the knight orders and mercenary groups that you brought, plus some understaffed ones, have been integrated into a total of ninety-three knight orders. Everyone, do you know what this number represents? It represents nine fully staffed extraordinary legions."
The nobles around him also realized this problem and their breathing became rapid.
Seeing that the time was right, Martin said directly: "How many times can you have such an opportunity in your lifetime?"
A viscount among the nobles around said: "Martin, although there are a lot of people, but, let alone other things, just the issue of command, who will obey whom among the earls and marquises?"
After hearing what the viscount said, the nobles around him all thought that what the viscount said was right.
Martin had thought about this problem a long time ago.
"Everyone, we can fight on our own and directly penetrate the territory of the Orc Kingdom, burning, killing, looting and replenishing ourselves. If we are injured by the Orcs, we can use the communication crystal to call for help from nearby nobles, retreat to Frost Zero Pass for replenishment, and then fight back after we have recuperated.
This way, the wealth you plunder will fully support hiring or training your own knights. You can grow your own strength in a snowballing manner. With Frost Zero Pass as your backup, you have a way out. As long as you're not a fool, you won't be caught in a trap. Furthermore, you can mine the mineral veins in Frost Zero Plains without any worries.
After hearing Martin's words, the nobles around him quieted down and began to think. As their thoughts became clearer, smiles began to appear on their faces. Some nobles even laughed out loud. This fuse made all the nobles present laugh out loud.
"Okay, okay, this is a good idea."
“I don’t know how Martin came up with this.”
No, I must use the communication crystal to inform the Marquis behind me. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that cannot be missed."
"I have to inform His Highness immediately. Such a good opportunity cannot be missed."
Everyone present took out their communication crystals to communicate, and some directly urged Martin to divide the territory within the Orc Kingdom.
Martin looked at the nobles around him and said, "I have already distributed your mineral veins in the Frost Zero Plains."
As he said that, he asked Betan to take out a magic projector and project it directly. The name of each noble corresponded to the proportion of the number of knights. The nobles hurriedly memorized their own areas.
At this point, the mineral veins of the Frost Zero Plains have been divided.
After the nobles finished recording, Martin pressed the button of the magic projector, and a crude map of the Orc Kingdom appeared, but it could roughly tell the direction.
"Everyone, we will use Frost Zero Pass as our retreat and spread out in all directions so that we won't fall into danger.
However, remember, don't rush into anything recklessly, or else if other nobles fail to rescue you and die in the Orc Kingdom, you won't be able to blame others."
The nobles around said:
"Don't worry, Martin, if it's really because I was too impatient, I deserve to die."
“Indeed, we have an idea.”
At this time, an aristocrat suggested that it would be possible to bring in more aristocrats.
Martin pretended to be embarrassed and did not answer the nobleman.
The earl next to him spoke at this time.
"Okay, if you can't eat it, I'll help you. I don't mind."
The noble who spoke earlier hastily explained that he was just asking and had no other intentions.
He looked around and saw that no one asked any questions, so he said directly: "The opportunity is right in front of us. Who eats more and who eats less depends entirely on their own abilities. Everyone, I will be waiting for good news at Shuangling Pass."
After saying that, he left the open-air conference hall.
Seeing that the plan was going smoothly, Martin prepared to have Roland bring the Chamber of Commerce to Frost Zero Pass and open up a trading market, and only this one. How could such a monopoly not make a fortune?
As for whoever dares to open up a new trading market, we will make him close the first one he opens.
What is this place? Frost Zero Pass, my fiefdom, the place where the Royal Capital Council's resolutions are stamped with a red seal.
As Martin left, the nobles looked at each other, and no one cared about the distinction between the North and the South.
They went straight out of the open-air conference hall, looked for their respective knight orders, and left Frost Zero Pass one after another, heading towards the territory of the Orc Kingdom.
A few days later, when King Charlemagne learned about this, he was furious and cursed. Then he hurriedly convened a parliament and overturned all previous plans.
The meeting lasted for a whole day, and finally, a new plan appeared before the king.
Urgently contact Xingyao Shengbang and ask him to send troops now. I will respond. Two against one, the advantage is on my side.
The Xingyao Shengbang people were also confused and didn't understand what was going on. The king briefly explained the situation. The person on the other end of the communication crystal cursed inwardly and then went down to prepare.
Not only the king, but the other four dukes also looked confused, as if they had suddenly woken up and found that the world had changed dramatically.
Not only the duke, marquis, earl and others were confused, only a few nobles knew the reason.
As the amount of information accumulated, other nobles who had not participated also wanted to get involved.
There is no way. The cake of Frost Zero Plain is gone, but the cake outside Frost Zero Pass has just begun to be divided.
Several giants began to take action. In a short period of time, Frost Zero Pass became extremely lively and the number of knights reached an unprecedented level.
To put it bluntly, now in Frost Zero Pass, throwing a stone can hit a Viscount. If you are lucky, you might even hit an Earl.
