Chapter 286: Four Kingdoms

The rain that had been falling for many days finally stopped.

This is something to be happy about, because the workers can finally build the villa without wearing raincoats.

In a villa in the villa area of ​​the old town of Pompeii.

At the door of this villa, there are two knights guarding. Obviously, the identity of the people in the villa is not simple. A carriage is parked at the door of the villa.

Not long after, the door of the villa opened. Lelouch walked out, followed by Baron Philip.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Mr. Baron." Lelouch, wearing a raincoat, holding a document in his hand, with a little smile on his face, shook hands with Baron Philip.

The smile on Baron Philip's face was a little bitter.

After shaking hands, Lelouch returned to the carriage, took off his raincoat, and said to the coachman: "Go to Baron Billy's villa."

"Okay, Mr. Mayor." The coachman responded and drove the carriage to the next one.

Lelouch obtained Baron Philip's signed document.

This is a statement.

In view of the current tense situation in Orange, Philip, as the contemporary Baron Baron, is willing to entrust the territory to the Pompeii family for management, and receive a compensation of 30,000 gold coins every year.

In other words, Baron Philip sold his territory to the Pompeii family, but retained the baron title and received a salary of 30,000 gold coins every year.

In fact, this is a generous compensation.

Because the annual income in Barton is only a few hundred thousand gold coins, and there is not much left after daily expenses.

Now Baron Philip is purely receiving a salary of 30,000, which allows the Baron family to continue and live well.

The price paid is only the loss of rights.

The process is relatively smooth, because Baron Philip is not a particularly tough and stubborn person, and the current situation in Orange is indeed corrupt. If there is no protection from the Pompeii family, he may only be able to deal with monsters in the Endless Deep Forest.

The only problem is Baron Billy, who is an elite senior knight and is likely to become a great knight in the future.

Lelouch sat in the carriage and thought for a while, waiting for the words when visiting. Soon after, Baron Billy's villa arrived.

There were also knights stationed in front of the door.

After Lelouch got off the carriage, he was immediately led into the living room by the knight. Soon after, Baron Billy came down from upstairs.

"Mr. Mayor." Baron Billy took the initiative to extend his hand and said.

"Your Excellency the Baron." Lelouch extended his hand and shook it.

Then the two sat down, Lelouch took out the document, handed it to Baron Billy, and said: "Although it is a bit difficult to say, please take a look at this document."

Baron Billy smiled, stretched out his hand to take the document, and after reading it, the smile on his face disappeared, but he was not angry. He sighed, "I knew that the Pompeii family had great ambitions, so although I proposed to let the Pompeii Knights become the generals of the mountains at the Great Council that day, I was actually a little cautious. When Governor Silver Wing invited us to live in Pompeii to protect us, it was me who persuaded Earl Windsor and his men not to live in Pompeii. I didn't expect that they died, but I survived. And Pompeii's actions were gentler than I thought. This compensation is very generous."

After saying that, Baron Billy waved to Lelouch. Lelouch understood immediately and handed over a pen. Baron Billy signed his name on the document.

"Where is Baron Philip?" Baron Billy asked, and then smiled and said, "Baron Philip should have signed it!"

"It has been signed before you." Lelouch nodded.

In his heart, he thought, it turned out that he was the one who colluded, poor Earl Windsor and his men died miserably.

"That baron is not a strong lord. Even I have to submit to the powerful Pompeii family, let alone him."

Baron Billy shrugged and said, "Now that Windsor and the others are dead, we have signed an agreement. Congratulations to the Pompeii family, they have six territories."

"It is a territory. After the merger of the territories, it is called "White Eagle Territory". It is ruled by Pompeii City as the center and divided into seven cities."

Baron Billy signed so readily that Lelouch was relieved and said with a smile.

"What about the knight lord families in the six territories?"

Baron Billy asked.

"The Pompeii family will make a one-time purchase of the families with lords, with a large territory of 30,000 gold coins and a small territory of 3,000 gold coins. But the Pompeii family retains the small territories of the Will family, the Williams family, the Soran family and other six families."

Lelouch said.

In view of the close connection between the seven families, Luther still did not reach out to take away the territories of the other six families. Anyway, their territories were only the size of a town and had no room for development, so it didn't matter.

"The cunning kid of the Pompeii family." Baron Billy also said this catchphrase, and then he smiled.

Lelouch also smiled, then stood up and shook hands with Baron Billy, and then said goodbye.

At this point, Luther's annexation of the six territories was completed, and the territory was officially upgraded to "White Eagle Territory".

Soon, new flags will be hung on the cities in the entire territory.

Printed with the Pompeii family emblem, mountains and white eagles.

"That cunning kid."

In a villa in Sparta. Frost Knight Siddhartha also said this.

In the small living room on the second floor of the villa, the backbone members of the New Party gathered. The person in charge Siddhartha, the chief of staff, the chief knight Sydney, and the other four people.

The news just came from Pompeii.

The Pompeii family formed an alliance with the Mountain Eagle, and the Eagle King swallowed up three great knights and hundreds of knights of the New Party in one breath.

After hearing the news, Siddhartha said this.

"That cunning kid."

We shouldn't underestimate him.

"What should we do now? Should we get rid of the Pompeii family?" asked a staff member.

Siddhartha looked at the chief knight Sydney, because he was the chief of staff.

Knight Sydney thought for a moment and said, "The current situation is very delicate. We have four title knights. Earl Libya and Duke Ferger also have four title knights. The Eagle King is very difficult to deal with. If we want to kill it, we must withdraw two title knights, and then our defense will be empty. At that time, Earl Libya and Duke Ferger will send people to kill the title knights we left behind, and everything will be over."

"Then leave the Pompeii family alone?" Siddhartha asked, exhaling a breath of white mist.

He could defeat the Eagle King, but the problem was that the damage left by Marquis Parker was still aching in his body, and defeating was not killing.

It was not a simple matter to kill a flying and phoenix-type monster.

He also knew that Sydney's analysis was correct, but he felt a little unhappy.

That cunning kid.

"It's okay." Knight Sydney smiled and said, "The Pompeii family was a knight lord family before, and became a governor family not long ago, and now they are the governor of a large territory. They have nothing except the Eagle King."

"The city has no wizard tower, no magic circle protection, and only one great knight at the top. In this case, the Eagle King is like a hen, and can do nothing but guard Pompeii. They can only watch us fight with the Count of Libya and the Duke of Ferge, and pray that the nobles will win. Because if the nobles fail, we will go south and eat up his territory."

"Hearing what you said, this kid is a bit pitiful."

Siddhartha showed a relaxed smile.

The fate of the Pompeii family is in the hands of the strong.

New Party, Count of Libya, Duke of Ferge.

No matter how cunning that kid is, he can't change this fact.

The background is too shallow.
