Chapter 284: Becoming Fat in One Bite

Under the heavy rain, a team composed entirely of knights was heading towards Kaiyue City.

There was no flag, but the knights were dressed in uniform, and the coat of arms of the "Knights of the Mountains" was embroidered on the cloaks behind them, with four peaks.

It showed their identity, the Knights of the Mountains of the Pompeii family.

The leader was the great knight, Old Sol, the leader of the Pompeii family.

At this moment, Old Sol was in a hurry, because he was a little worried about Baron Philip and Naz Wilson.

Old Sol once personally sent someone to tell Baron Philip to bring his family to Pompeii Castle. Old Sol swore in the name of the ancestors of the Pompeii family to guarantee Baron Philip's safety.

But Baron Philip, who was usually mediocre, refused.

It was obvious that Baron Philip didn't trust Pompeii very much, which made Old Sol a little sad, but as a former vassal of the Baron family and a friend of Baron Baron.

Old Sol was still very worried about Baron Philip.

Soon after, Old Sol saw a fleeing team on the road ahead and relaxed immediately.

Because Old Sol saw Natsu Wilson riding in front. Natsu Wilson was weak and should be injured, but he was not missing any limbs.

Natsu Wilson also saw Old Sol, and a little smile suddenly bloomed on his feminine face.

"How is the situation?" Old Sol turned over and got off the horse, and asked directly without bothering to greet.

"I was very alert. I ran out with the baron just after the battle." Natsu Wilson said with a smile on his face.

"General Qunshan." At this time, Baron Philip got off the carriage, feeling a little ashamed. He listened to some bad advice and refused to go to Pompeii.

Unexpectedly, he had to go to Pompeii for refuge in the end.

Old Sol patted Baron Philip on the shoulder and didn't say much.

"Can you still fight?" Old Sol asked Natsu Wilson.

"Yes." Natsu Wilson moved his shoulders and replied.

"Then select ten knights to escort the baron to Pompeii. You set off quickly, go to the castle in the Blackwater Mountains, meet up with Rebecca and Jintren, attack Silver Wing City, and then defend. I will take people to clean up the new party knights in Kaiyue City first."

Old Sol said.

Luther had told Rebecca and Jintren in advance that if the new party attacked Silver Wing City, Rebecca and Jintren should run away immediately and go to the former castle of the Autumn Wind Thieves Group in the Blackwater Mountains to take shelter, and not to fight hard with the new party.

Old Sol has no intelligence from the front line now, but it is estimated that Rebecca and Jintren have retreated to the Blackwater Mountains.

"Okay." Naz, Wilson responded, and without saying a word, he took many knights to the Blackwater Mountains. Old Sol patted the baron on the shoulder and led the knights to Kaiyue City.

Because all the new party knights responsible for attacking Pompeii were killed, there were no new party knights in the six territories in the south.

Old Thor led the Knights and quickly pacified six territories. Then he led the Mountain Knights into the northernmost Silver Wing Territory, hung the flag of the Mountain Knights, and told the people of the New Party.

This is already the territory of the Pompeii family.

In a blink of an eye, the Pompeii family made a fortune from the war and completed the expansion.

At the same time, a large number of nobles led their families, servants, and property to flock to the south.

And heard the news that the Pompeii family had formed an alliance with the Mountain Eagle and the Eagle King was in Pompeii. The nobles went crazy and turned to Pompeii.

No one mentioned the plan of entering the endless forest and going to neighboring countries.

Now we go to Pompeii, the safest city in the south.

…………….

Pompeii.

The Eagle King restored the giant eagle form and stood motionless on the top of the Mountain Knights Castle, but the huge magic power continued to radiate, forming a strong wind in the whole sky.

The strong wind continued.

This is the kingly posture that Luther asked the Eagle King to pose, proving to the fleeing nobles that the alliance between the Pompeii family and the Mountain Eagle is completely correct news, not a rumor.

The effect is huge.

When the fleeing nobles arrived in Pompeii, they saw the Eagle King standing and the strong wind that filled the sky, and they were immediately full of confidence.

Oh my God, is this the Pompeii family now?

Then they entered the city without hesitation.

Because there were too many people pouring into Pompeii in a short period of time, and they kept pouring in. Not only the nobles, but also some middle-class people.

According to Lelouch's estimation, if the war continues, the people who flocked into Pompeii may fill the city.

The Pompeii family will have a medium-sized city with a population of 100,000.

That will be extremely prosperous.

It is winter now, and it is cloudy and rainy, so the air is very damp and cold. Mayor Lelouch set up multiple posts at the north gate.

Towels, hot soup, and guides were distributed to the nobles entering the city.

At this moment, the Houston Knights and James Knights arrived at Pompeii with their troops.

"I know that the silver-winged governor of the Pompeii family must have a backup plan." The two looked at the endless wind above the sky and swallowed their saliva involuntarily. Knight Houston said excitedly.

He planned to enter Pompeii at the beginning, but was persuaded by James and doubted whether the Pompeii family could survive.

But there is no need to doubt now.

The silver-winged governor of the Pompeii family, the cunning kid in the mouths of the nobles, is indeed cunning.

"It's great to be able to settle down here." Knight James nodded involuntarily.

At this time, the guards who distributed hot soup and towels came over and shouted: "Ladies, children, and those with weak constitutions, drink the soup first."

The women and children in the team drank the soup first, and then took the towels. Then, the team entered the city gate. Near the city gate, someone stood on the platform and said to the two knights: "Let me tell you about the situation in Pompeii first. Although we should prepare food for you based on the etiquette of the Pompeii family towards the nobles, there are too many people pouring into Pompeii, and the Pompeii family can't afford it, so the food needs to be paid. But please rest assured, it is absolutely cost price, and the Pompeii family does not make a penny."

"It is because there are too many people pouring into Pompeii, so Pompeii currently does not have too many houses. The mayor has set up many tents in the north area of ​​the city for temporary accommodation of the gentlemen."

"However, the city hall is currently developing villas as soon as possible. Because of the rush of time, the villas are a bit rough, but they are definitely more comfortable than living in tents. Each villa is worth 300 gold coins. If you need flowers, please go to the city hall to pay and wait for the villa to be built. By the way, if there is a demand, the Habsburg factory will provide exquisite furniture."

The housing prices in Pompeii rose accordingly.

In the past, exquisite villas were sold for 100 or 200 gold coins, but now rough ones are also sold for 300 gold coins.

There is no way, because the city has changed from a small town to a medium-sized city.

If there is demand, the housing price will naturally rise.

And you have to pay first, borrow money from the nobles, and then hire workers to develop the villa.

Originally, Luther planned to develop the Pompeii metropolis with the rich, but because of the current situation, except for a few plots of land sold to partners, all the properties in the city are under the name of the city hall.

The Pompeii family has become rich in terms of population and economy.

After a little consideration, the Houston Cavaliers, Cavalier James, decided to pay for it.

Almost all the nobles made this decision 100%.

Because now except Pompeii, they have nowhere else to go.
