Chapter 418 The Light of the White Eagle

What was the situation in Orange before the outbreak of the New Party?

There were more than twenty nobles in total, each with its own territory, and they controlled Orange.

In the north were the top nobles such as the Count of Libya and the Duke of Ferguson, in the middle were the first-class nobles such as the Marquis of Parker, and in the south were the small rural nobles.

This group of nobles combined together to form the political structure of the entire Orange.

At that time, although Libya was powerful, it was not the only one. The Duke of Ferguson's foundation was not inferior to Libya, and there were also knights in the family of the Marquis of Parker.

Therefore, everyone nominated the Count of Libya as the governor of Orange, but some specific major events could be negotiated and agreed upon by the Orange Grand Council.

At that time, the Count of Libya was in his prime, the Duke of Ferguson was as strong as an ox, and the Marquis of Parker and others were also extremely powerful.

At that time, what kind of person was Luther Pompey?

The heir of the rural knight lord, the next generation of knights of Pompey. A small noble among the rural nobles. There was also the Lord Patton family above.

Luther was a man of many talents. He built Pompeii, which made the Pompeii family close to the Barton family and the strongest vassal, Gandal.

Later, Old Sol became a great knight, Baron Barton died, and the Pompeii family put down the civil strife of the Barton family in one fell swoop, becoming the most powerful family in Barton territory.

After that, Viscount Silver Wing committed suicide, so Luther killed Viscount Silver Wing. He conspired with Billy, Windsor and other families, and proposed that Earl Libya convene the Orange Grand Council, ostensibly to deal with the New Party.

In fact, he wanted to obtain the six surrounding territories of Viscount Silver Wing.

As a result, he succeeded in one fell swoop.

Old Sol became the General of the Mountains, and Luther became the Governor of Silver Wing. When the New Party broke out, the Pompeii family formed an alliance with the Eagle of the Mountains, successfully survived, and became one of the three great nobles of Orange.

The New Party attacked Earl Windsor and others again, so Luther used soft and hard means to control the six territories, upgraded the territory to the White Eagle Territory, and called himself the Governor of the White Eagle.

Isn't this fucking amazing?

Isn't the history of making a fortune brilliant enough?

In just a few years, Luther and Pompey, who were able to make a fortune, made their fortunes into something that some people could not make in their lifetime, even several lifetimes, or even more than ten lifetimes.

How many people secretly talked about this matter.

Some people envied, some were jealous, and some said dirty words behind their backs.

How many people were dissatisfied.

Because of the outbreak of the New Party, how many nobles in the central and southern parts fled to the White Eagle Territory with their families. Most of these people were monsters and demons, obedient on the surface, but secretly envious, jealous, and hateful.

If it weren't for the alliance between the White Eagle and the Mountain Eagle, the chaos of the New Party, and the White Eagle becoming the only refuge in the southern region, the nobles would have been restless long ago.

What's more, Luther abolished serfdom, established civilian schools, and other anti-aristocratic actions.

Some people spit and wanted to drown Luther.

But now, does anyone still have such an idea?

No more.

One person will be jealous of another.

Serfs will be jealous of commoners, commoners will be jealous of rich peasants, rich peasants will be jealous of wealthy merchants, wealthy merchants will be jealous of wealthy people, wealthy people will be jealous of nobles, and nobles will be jealous of lords.

But will serfs be jealous of lords?

Serfs will only kneel down and lick the lords.

Let's not talk about other imaginary things first.

The two knight orders in the White Eagle Territory, the Mountain Knights and the Expeditionary Knights, are deterrent forces.

Let's not talk about this here, it's considered imaginary.

Luther's alliance with the Mountain Eagle is also a powerful force, but we can also ignore it.

Old Thor became the Earth Knight and held a bloodthirsty monster in his hand, but we can also ignore it.

Luther had an affair with Miss Red Dragon, but we can also keep it secret.

Even if the king canonized Old Thor as the Earl of White Eagle and officially promoted the White Eagle Territory to the Earldom of White Eagle, this can also be considered imaginary.

Then what is real?

Let's talk about one, let's ask Orange now.

Who is the master of the world!

The biggest one is undoubtedly the Libyan Earl. But such a powerful Libyan family divides Orange equally with the White Eagle in the north and south.

Doesn't it prove that the two sides are equal?

Think about the many great nobles in Orange back then, not to mention the Marquis Parker and the Earl of Windsor, the Duke of Ferger was defeated by the White Eagle family himself, and they all perished.

The small Knight Lord family survived and became bigger and bigger.

Now it is on par with Libya, this is strength.

When the serfs are jealous of the common people, they will not be jealous of the lords.

Many nobles will despise the Pompeii Knight Family, but no one will despise the White Eagle Earl Family.

On the contrary, they will bend down to salute the White Eagle Earl and say: "Your Excellency!"

When they see Luther, they will also bend down and call him "Your Excellency."

This is the reputation and glory of the Pompeii White Eagle Heraldry Family in Orange today.

Luther and Pompey were also known as big shots in those days, because they had a lot of connections in the wealthy circles of Orange.

But were they really big shots?

No.

That was just taking advantage of the situation, not even the fox taking advantage of the tiger's might.

Now Luther and Pompey are the big men in Orange, the real tigers.

Facing the strength of Pompey's silver emblem today, many old friends are impressed.

Kaiyue City!

This city was the main city of Barton's territory in the past. Baron Barton ruled here as if he was a small king, with his own people, army, officials, and vassals.

With the strength of the White Eagle, the traces of the Barton family in this city are getting fewer and fewer. What is becoming more intense is the traces of the White Eagle emblem.

"Hua La La!"

The flags with the White Eagle emblem hanging on the four gates fluttered in the wind, and every day, every day, they announced to the people entering and leaving the city who the boss here is.

But although the traces of the Barton family are getting fewer and fewer, there are still some left after all.

This is the care that Luther and Old Saul gave to the Barton family, allowing Baron Philip to inherit the family title and get a sum of money every year.

And the property of the Barton family was reserved.

So now Baron Philip still lives in Barton Castle and lives a carefree life. Not only that, the assets he has on hand are more sufficient than his father Baron Baron.

Why?

Because under the care of Pompey and his son, Baron Philip started a business in Pompey and made a fortune.

Now Baron Philip not only has no resentment about his current life, but is full of comfort.

By the way, Baron Philip, like Baron Billy, lost his title in Luther's hands. The two have a common language and do business in Pompeii, so they became friends.

Today Baron Billy came to Kaiyue City and entered Barton Castle as a guest to visit friends.

As they chatted, the topic inevitably fell on the current power of White Eagle, and they were all full of emotion.

Really.

This is not the history of the rise of ordinary people. It's too fast, like a magic trick.
