Chapter 285 Lu Lans's Arrangement

In this battle, Ronin's military exploits were indeed not low.

But the fruits of victory in the war could not be monopolized by him alone, after all, other nobles also contributed their own strength.

For example, Viscount Marvin and Baron German sent enough people, and suffered heavy losses in the bloody battle of Boulder City. It was impossible for Lulans to give nothing.

So Ronin was very tactful when he made the request and did not ask for too much, only striving for the two most critical things.

But from Lulans' tone, it seemed that he asked for too little.

"Wushan Territory can have three earls, and I agree to this appointment."

At present, there are two earls in Wushan Territory, one of which is Orson Hyde, and the other is Ronin's father Wiggins.

Speaking of which, as the heir to the Marquisate, Wiggins's earldom is only temporary, and his fiefdom is only Wushan City, which is purely transitional.

In fact, the only real fiefdom earl in Wushan Territory is Orson.

"As for the fiefdom, in addition to Chishan Town, Baron Corian of Giant Stone City was discovered by you, and nobles from all over the country also escaped this disaster, so I am going to divide this city to you."

Ronin was delighted.

Besides the abundance of stones, Giant Stone City has no other special resources.

However, Corian has been doing well in recent years, and the population living in Giant Stone Territory starts at 30,000 to 40,000.

If these laborers can be obtained, the problem of insufficient population in Ronin's territory will be further improved.

"If the rewards are given in this way, will other nobles have any ideas?"

If Lu Lansi divides it in this way, the two best fiefdoms, Chishan Town and Giant Stone City, will belong to Ronin, and other nobles will have less rewards.

"You don't have to worry about this. Even if you want to grant the fiefdom, there are still three places, Sari Town, Quicksand Town, and Kasir Town, that can be rewarded."

Lu Lansi's tone was very relaxed.

Not every victory in a war will result in a fiefdom. Moreover, the contributions of other nobles in this battle were much smaller than Ronin's. If they were to be granted fiefdoms, not many people would be qualified.

Moreover, it was Ronin who saw through the plot of the Bolant Bandits and Corian in this battle, which saved the nobles who participated in the war from huge losses. These people would not say much if Ronin was granted two fiefdoms.

"Only half of the Fifth Knights of Wushan Castle are left now. This Knights must be reorganized."

The financial resources consumed by the Knights are very huge, but for the safety of the territory, the number of standing Knights in Wushan Territory should be maintained at five as much as possible.

"Knights and soldiers are easy to find, but it is not easy to find the leader of the Knights."

Lu Lans looked at Ronin with trust in his eyes: "So I decided to let you serve as the leader of the Fifth Knights of Wushan Castle, and prepare to station this Knights in the shore city on the southwest border of Wushan Territory."

The leader of the Wushan Castle Knights may not be a noble of the fiefdom, but he is equally respected and must be trusted by the Marquis.

Even for Corrine, his betrayal only started at the beginning of this year.

In the early days, he was still trusted by Lulans because of his Hansen family background and his excellent performance and loyalty.

Now Lulans has handed over the position of the leader of the Fifth Knights to Roning, which means that he recognizes Roning's strength and conveys to the outside world that he trusts and values ​​Roning enough.

Roning was happy at first, which was equivalent to having a force under his command.

Although this force could not be brought to Wubei Territory, it could at least ensure the safety of the southwest enclave.

But he was a little worried.

"Grandpa, the shore city is relatively close to the Moon Pass Valley. This time, the annihilation of the Porte Thieves Group in one fell swoop may have offended Jesus. If I go to the shore city now, will his son-in-law Ramsay make a sneak attack?"

He has experienced the strength of the meteor level.

The reason why he left the shore city immediately after getting the deposit from Amycus that day was because he was worried about being attacked by the meteor level.

"Your worries are not without reason."

Lulansi acknowledged Ronin's concerns.

"Hesus is a very arrogant and arrogant person. Sometimes he tends to be extreme and even reckless in doing things."

He changed the subject: "However, although you are the leader, you don't have to be in charge of the shore city in person."

"You can choose a trusted subordinate to be the deputy leader, such as your commander of Wubei Territory, Ridar. If you trust him enough, let him lead the team to stay behind."

"Ramsay is a meteor-level strongman after all, and he will not assassinate a silver knight, especially killing Ridar, which will not have any effect."

Ronin weighed it in his heart.

Ridar is not an ordinary knight, and Ronin does not want him to take risks.

But what Lulansi said does make sense. In the eyes of outsiders who don't know the truth, they think that Ridar has good talent at most. He has no family behind him and is not a noble. It's too cheap to let a meteor knight secretly assassinate him.

The most important thing is that even if the assassination succeeds at the risk, it will only disgust Ronin at most, and it will not change anything completely.

After thinking for a while, Ronin nodded slightly and said with a smile: "This is a happy thing for Ridar. He has always been eager to have the opportunity to manage more knight teams one day."

Obviously, he agreed to Lu Lans's arrangement.

"Then Grandpa, how are you going to deal with the shore city?"

Lu Lans thought for a while and said: "The shore city will be directly managed by Wushan Fort for the time being. I will let Albert arrange some people to handle the affairs there."

"Although the land has been recovered, the Portalt Bandits have been operating there for many years. There must be many complicated forces within it. It will take a long time to completely control it, and the Fifth Knights will definitely need to cooperate at that time."

"That's what I should do."

Ronin nodded immediately.

The Fifth Knights are there, one is to defend the border, and the second is to deal with these things.

"Okay, the arrangements for you are basically almost done. The follow-up details will be handed over to the people below. Next, we should talk about your private affairs."

Private affairs?

Ronin was a little confused: "What is it?"

Lulans smiled and said: "The news that you led the team to annihilate the Portalt Bandits has been reported to Jinyu City. His Majesty the King sent me a letter to express his congratulations. At the same time, he also wanted to take advantage of Blanche's upcoming birthday to arrange for you to go to the capital to meet. If everything goes well, the news of your engagement will be announced during the National Day celebration in June next year."

Ronin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect it to be this matter. He ignored it.

"I don't think I've been to the capital yet."

Ronin had no impression of Jinyu City, because his previous life had never been there, and he only knew that it was a prosperous place.

Lu Lans smiled and said, "I haven't been there, but it's proper etiquette to meet His Majesty the King before the engagement."

"Hehe, if you don't perform well and are not favored by His Majesty Bruno, maybe this marriage can't be finalized."

The latter sentence of his was a joke.

After this birthday, Blanche will be nineteen years old.

The princess of this age has not married yet, and even the marriage has not been finalized. In addition, the two previous incidents have caused a lot of criticism outside, which has damaged the face of the princess and the royal family.

The Wushan family is a great noble family, and they have given up their interests. Ronin's conditions are not bad, so there is no reason to regret it.

"I remember Blanche's birthday seems to be in late September. If you want to go to Jinyu City, time is running out."

"Yes. This time you'd better go to Jinyu City by land and water, and avoid riding a dragon directly."

Lu Lans couldn't help but add: "So after this celebration banquet is over, you should set off soon." (End of this chapter)
