Chapter 267 General Pompey

"Please speak, Mr. Baron." Count Libya said.

"There are 28 territories in Orange. Territories such as the Count and the Duke are naturally strong and not easy to be conquered by the new party. But there are more territories, such as our six territories in the south. Our strength is not strong. If the new party launches an attack on us, we can easily defeat them one by one. So the five of us discussed and established a general position in the territory, established a knight group that can support each territory at any time, and launched a closer military cooperation."

Baron Billy said.

After listening to this, the nobles all had a flash of light in their eyes.

Everyone was a person of status and position, so they did not whisper, but thought and pondered in their hearts.

Baron Billy was right.

The whole Orange was a large plain. Many years ago, this province was part of the endless forest. It was the territory that the nobles used countless wars to expand from the hands of the monsters.

There is a huge and vast mountain range separating the entire territory from the king's territory. There are still many monsters in the mountain range, which is not conducive to marching.

It is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

So after that big incident, the relationship between the king and the nobles quickly cooled down. The Orange nobles headed by the Earl of Libya took the opportunity to make trouble, and now although they belong to the king in name, they are actually an independent big force.

All the nobles have the same political status in theory, but in practical terms, whoever has the bigger fist is the big man.

And the most representative of the strength of the nobles is the size of the territory, whether the economy is prosperous, the population under their command, and the number of knights.

In this case, the nobles are divided into many levels. The one standing at the top is naturally the Earl of Libya, followed by the Duke of Ferge, and their respective territories are very large.

In particular, the Earl of Libya's territory occupies one-tenth of the entire Orange territory, and the economy is extremely prosperous.

The Duke of Ferge's territory is not as good as the Earl of Libya, but the gap is slowly narrowing.

After that, there are the middle-level nobles, such as the Marquis Parker, who is a very powerful noble.

After that, there are the small territories belonging to Barton Territory and Silver Wing Territory. There are many of these small territories, if not twenty, there are at least eighteen.

Small families are not strong in wind resistance, so they are naturally the easiest to be destroyed.

Under such circumstances, it is very beneficial for the current situation to unite these small territories, establish a unified military organization, and establish the position of general.

The small nobles are very tempted, and the eyes of the big nobles flicker for a moment, but they do not object much.

Because the establishment of the position of general is very critical.

Before this, the small nobles of Orange had no way to compete with the big nobles, but if this general position is established and the forces are connected.

These small nobles have the strength to compete with the big nobles.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the big nobles to increase the position of generals and make the small nobles powerful.

It is also not in line with the tradition of Orange.

But as the Count of Libya thought, if the new party succeeds, the kingdom will perish and Orange will be reduced to ruins.

It is meaningless to hold on to tradition at this time.

"I agree."

"Agree."

"I agree."

The nobles expressed their opinions one after another.

But this matter is just an outline, because only six nobles, including Silver Wing Territory, Windsor Territory, Billy Territory, etc., have reached a consensus to establish a general.

The other small nobles must go through a long period of wrangling and running-in before they can form an alliance and establish the position of general.

"Do the five gentlemen have a candidate for the general?" A noble who was not well-informed asked a stupid question.

"Our southern territories are all small rural territories, and there are no strong knights. Only the contemporary Pompeii Knight, Sol, Pompeii is a great knight, so Pompeii Knight will serve as the general, and I will be his deputy."

Baron Billy replied.

"So it was him." Although the noble was not well-informed, he had heard about the recent events in the Pompeii family and nodded in understanding.

"I have also heard of this brave and warlike knight. Is he in the Golden City now? Oh, and his troublesome son." Count Libya asked.

"Pompeii and his son are in the hall." Baron Billy replied.

"Ding-ling-ling." Count Libya knocked on a small magic object on the table, and a crisp bell sounded. Not long after, a knight opened the door and walked in.

"Your Excellency the Earl."

"Please invite Pompeii and his son in." Count Libya said.

"Yes." The knight responded and left the hall.

After the knight came to the hall, he told Luther and Old Sol about this. Luther and Old Sol straightened their clothes and stood up very seriously.

"Don't worry, there are many people supporting you now." Mr. Al encouraged Pompeii and his son.

Then, Luther and Old Sol walked to the meeting room together, while the knight stayed outside the door and closed it.

Although there was an empty seat for Viscount Silver Wing in the meeting room, it was obvious that Pompey and his son had not reached that level in terms of status, so the father and son came to the front of the meeting table and stood in front of the nobles.

Luther didn't care about this, because if the new party rioted, the nobles present would not know how many families would be ruined and the situation in Orange would be reshuffled.

If the Pompey family still existed at that time, there would definitely be a place for the Pompey family here.

Old Sol held his head high, his hands naturally dropped down, and he showed the momentum of leading troops to fight in the past. It was as if the general was facing the king.

Luther stood obediently on the left side of Old Sol.

But although Old Sol was very imposing, many nobles' eyes fell on Luther, Pompey, the new noble of Orange, the driving force behind the death of Viscount Silver Wing.

Many nobles were impressed and moved.

The young are formidable.

Because Luther was young and had no beard. So there was still a little childishness on his face.

A very young man.

"Mr. Archon." Old Sol lowered his head slightly and bowed to the Count of Libya.

"Mr. Knight." The Count of Libya also nodded.

"According to Baron Billy's request, we plan to establish general positions in six remote southern territories such as Billy and Windsor, so that each territory can carry out more intensive military operations during wartime. Baron Billy proposed that you take the position of general. Mr. Knight, what do you plan to do first when you take this position?"

The Count of Libya asked.
