Chapter 210: Desolation and Prosperity
The Barton family is unfortunate.
Because during this period, the Barton family sent away many important figures.
Babana, Gandal.
Xi Suo, Rufen.
Baron Barton
The Barton family has become extremely weak, and it will become more and more difficult in the turbulent years to come. But the Barton family is also lucky because they have Naz and Wilson.
Strong knights like Sol and Pompey can help protect the Barton family.
What's more terrible is that Sol and Pompey have become a great knight.
Unfortunately, since Sol and Pompey have become a great knight, he has the strength to compete with the baron in terms of status, and perhaps the Pompey family will leave the Barton family because of this.
Now, in the future, Sol and Pompey's protection of the Barton family is just out of friendship.
In any case, the Barton family incident will gradually come to an end.
In the official residence of the Pompey family in Kaiyue City, old Sol is talking with Naz and Wilson in the study. The sun was very bright at the moment, and it was warm on people.
Old Sol lay by the window, letting his cheek embrace the sun. Natsu Wilson sat on a chair and said to Old Sol: "According to the results of the interrogation, Lucy and Barton did not murder the baron. But Lucy and Barton murdered Gandal and his son, and the ones who did it were Cecia and Gandal."
"It's not surprising that two young sons who are equally eager for the inheritance of the family are in cahoots with each other. I just regret that Baban didn't die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of his own brother."
Old Sol's face showed a little sadness.
"So the people who killed the baron and his wife, were the new party?" Old Sol remembered Cecia and Rufen's words before they died, and asked.
"Not sure, but the possibility of the new party is very high." Natsu Wilson shook his head and said.
Then there was a silence, because Natsu was not a very good communicator, and he was always gloomy.
"Now many of the guardian families have been purged, and the remaining knights are not enough to form an effective force. Baron Philip plans to recruit guard knights from the vassal knight families, and you will be the knight commander."
Naz, Wilson was silent for a long time, and then said.
Just like Luther recruited family members from six families as guard knights for the expansion of the Pompeii family.
Many members of the 20 or 30 vassals of the Barton family have become mercenaries or guards for others because they have no way out.
Naz, Wilson plans to recruit these people back to form a new guard force for the Barton family.
As for Baron Philip, he is really mediocre and has no ability to preside over the affairs in the territory for a while.
"You will be the knight commander." Old Thor shook his head and said.
Naz, Wilson felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier. He asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do? Go to the capital and get a title?"
The king should not plan to confer another title on a noble.
Then the only way out is to go to the capital, join the king, and become a court noble.
It is impossible for the Pompeii family to cling to the family of knight lords after a great knight has emerged.
If it were Natsu Wilson, he would also make a choice, so he understands Old Sol very well.
"My son said that the foundation of Pompeii is the territory. In the future, I will stay in the territory where our Pompeii family has been multiplying for generations, and will not interfere in the affairs of the Barton family casually, but don't worry, if anything happens to the Barton family, I will stand up immediately."
Old Sol came to Natsu Wilson's side and assured this friend who grew up with him.
"Okay."
Natsu Wilson's always gloomy cheeks showed a little smile. Perhaps because he didn't smile for many years, his smile was a little weird, but very sincere.
This is a trustworthy knight.
"By the way, there is one thing left. The issue of the next generation of knight heirs of Gandal." Natsu Wilson suddenly said.
Although Old Sol said that the relationship with the Barton family would change from monarch to ally, but Natsu Wilson thought that he should discuss this matter with his old friend.
"I think Babana's second daughter is not bad, she is a strong girl." Old Sol thought for a while and said.
"But she is only twelve years old. Can she accept the burden of a huge family? In addition, the new party is hiding behind the scenes. The Barton family needs a strong Gandal knight."
Natsu Wilson couldn't help but say.
Babana, Gandal's second daughter is a girl with excellent knight talent. But she represents the future, and now Gandal needs a strong contemporary knight.
"Natsu, my friend. I said that I will continue to protect the Barton family, and if even I can't protect it, then another senior knight can't do anything. It's better to let Babana's second daughter grow up and inherit everything from Babana, which is also a comfort to our friends."
Old Sol said to Natsu Wilson seriously.
Natsu Wilson was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
Although what Old Sol said was not quite right, because he was friends with Babana and Gandaor in his early years, the two of them had some friction from time to time in recent years.
They are no longer friends.
At most, they are colleagues.
But Naz Wilson still has nostalgia for Babana and Gandaor. He also does not rule out letting Babana and Gandaor's daughter inherit the title of knight.
"Okay, the Barton family will be handed over to you next. I should go." Old Sol patted Naz Wilson on the shoulder and said.
"Take care."
Naz Wilson nodded, and then the two walked out of the Pompeii mansion together. Old Sol returned to Pompeii accompanied by the family knights.
If the Barton family is lonely, then the Pompeii family is brilliant.
Luther knew a long time ago that in order to obtain the status of a noble, financial resources and military force are two indispensable weapons.
Luther is very confident in his knighthood, but he is still too young to support the rapid development of the Pompeii family.
So he made his father a great knight, responsible for the output of military force.
He himself was raking in the economy and developing the prosperity of the territory.
The father and son worked together and would become a huge force. And this force would become stronger and stronger, and eventually it might become a force that could influence Orange and even the entire Kingdom of Prussia.
And as old Sol became a great knight, this force gradually showed its power.
The whole of Orange was somewhat turbulent, not for anything else, because Baron Barton, a real noble, was easily killed.
Nothing is more reliable than a safe city.
And a city where a great knight sits will naturally be extremely safe.
So during this period of time, more and more ordinary residents, businessmen, middle class, and even wealthy people came to Pompeii to explore and hope to settle in Pompeii.
Compared with the lonely Barton family, the Pompeii family gradually prospered.
