Chapter 266 The Highlight

"Gentlemen."

After everyone was seated, the Earl of Libya spoke. His Excellency's voice was very loud and a little majestic.

"This time, at the request of the five gentlemen, Marquis Sheldon, Earl Windsor, Viscount Alton, Baron Billy, and Baron Philip, the Orange Grand Council was convened to deal with the increasingly difficult problem of the New Party."

The Earl of Libya kept his eyes on the five nobles for a moment, and then said: "The thing is, my intelligence personnel have found out that the New Party has been more and more active recently. Not only in Orange, but in the entire kingdom. Later, Harry Baron Barton of the Barton family was suspected to be assassinated by the New Party, and Viscount Silver Wing was the first clear victim."

At this point, the Earl of Libya's eyes stayed on Baron Philip for a moment, with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Baron Philip suddenly shuddered, lowered his head slightly, and dared not look at the Earl of Libya.

Such a move made the Earl of Libya even more dissatisfied.

These fools who only know how to enjoy themselves.

Count Libya was contemptuous.

As an iron-fisted count, Count Libya knew very well how powerful the nobles of Orange were.

The nobles occupied a huge amount of wealth, and every wealthy noble would choose to let more of their descendants become knights.

It is impossible to count how many noble knights there are in Orange.

And what about civilian knights? There are also many, but certainly not as many as noble knights, and some civilian knights are loyal to the nobles.

But under such circumstances, the power of the new party is still strong enough to subvert the kingdom, although the probability is a bit low.

But the other party does have such strength.

This is because there are many lazy nobles, and a large number of nobles come up by taking magic potions. They may use swords, but they are all fancy ways.

Noble swordsmanship and the like.

Let them really go to the battlefield, they are definitely fools.

And civilian knights, all rely on adventures, mercenaries, or become thieves, and each of them has experienced hundreds of battles.

That’s how the gap in power was narrowed.

The intelligence network of the Count of Libya spread throughout Orange, and he knew everything that happened in Barton’s territory.

Lucie Barton killed the father and son of Knight Gandal, and the New Party felt that there was an opportunity, so they sent people to kill Baron Barton with magic cannons.

Lucie Barton led the Guardian Knights to fight the vassal knights, and as a result, all the Guardian Knights of the Barton family were defeated.

The strength of the Barton family plummeted.

The biggest beneficiary of the decline in the strength of the Barton family was the New Party.

They successfully weakened the military strength of a great noble on the ground.

The Count of Libya also knew what kind of person Baron Philip was.

And then this group of country nobles started to commit suicide again, and the fool Viscount Silver Wing did something stupid and offended the kid from the Pompey family.

As a result, the kid from the Pompey family fanned the flames, and the New Party killed Viscount Silver Wing, and the strength of Viscount Silver Wing’s territory was greatly reduced.

The Count of Libya had intended to stop this matter, but because Al and Libya had told him a little bit, and the Count of Libya also had his own considerations, so he did not send anyone to stop this matter.

After this war, whether the kingdom still exists is a big question mark.

Now it is indeed a good way to clean up the garbage among the nobles and let capable people come up.

The Count of Libya noticed the ambitions of Luther and Pompey, but acquiesced to this matter.

As the governor of Orange and the supporter behind all the great nobles, the Count of Libya actually acquiesced to Luther and Pompey to deal with Viscount Silver Wing, which is serious enough.

The problem of the New Party is already extraordinary.

"In the face of the increasingly serious problem of the New Party, do you have any suggestions?" The Count of Libya asked everyone with his hands crossed on the conference table.

"I think we can start from two aspects." Duke Ferger said.

This duke is older than the Count of Libya, has a ditch nose, and his eyes are very sharp and sinister.

As the Duke of Ferger of this generation, he has made great contributions to his family's territory. Under his management, the strength of the Ferger family has been growing day by day, even reaching the level of being able to compete with the Libyan Earl.

He also has a nickname, the Eagle.

"Please continue, Mr. Duke." The Libyan Earl said.

"Currently, the New Party is active frequently, but they have never taken action. It must be because they feel that their strength is not enough to overthrow the kingdom and they are still accumulating strength. So we have to choose to take the initiative."

Duke Ferger said.

"But Mr. Duke, the people of the New Party usually hide their identities. He may be the owner of a tavern, an adventurer, or a mercenary. How can he take the initiative to attack?"

A great noble raised his doubts.

"Thieves. There are definitely some armed groups of the new party in all the large-scale bandit groups currently entrenched in Orange. Even if they are not the armed forces of the new party, if Orange is in chaos, the bandits will not mind taking advantage of the situation to rob. So it is beneficial for us to clean up these bandit groups first."

Duke Ferger said.

"But these bandits are very good at escaping, and it is not easy to wipe them out." The nobleman said again.

"We can kill as many as we can." Duke Ferger said firmly.

"Taking the initiative is one way, and we will discuss the details later. On the other hand," asked the Count of Libya.

"I suggest that the nobles cancel unnecessary balls and unnecessary enjoyment activities, and use funds to recruit noble knights who are wandering outside to strengthen the military power in the territory. Gather those nobles who have the power of knights but are artists or playboys and teach them how to use swords. At least before they die, they can still resist."

Duke Ferger was also very contemptuous and unceremonious to those nobles who lived a life of luxury.

"I think Mr. Duke's opinion on taking the initiative and increasing the number of troops is very good. What about you?" Earl of Libya raised his head and asked the nobles.

This is just a formality.

The two largest nobles in Orange agreed, so the minions below will naturally follow.

So most of the nobles agreed and agreed.

Only Earl Windsor, Viscount Alton, Baron Billy, Marquis Shelton, and Baron Philip were silent for a while.

The nobles all looked at them, because everyone knew that Luther, the little guy Pompey, was going to make trouble, and now the highlight was coming.

The five nobles looked at each other, and then Baron Billy spoke.

This baron was the most capable and courageous of the five nobles present.

"We agree very much with Mr. Duke's strategy. But we also have a little addition." Baron Billy said.
