Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 278 The Pompeii Family's Military Strength

Now that his son was talking about business, Old Sol also became serious, turned around and sat down behind the desk, and said, "Currently there are eight senior knights and 88 intermediate knights."

"A little less." Luther said, then put his left leg on his right leg, propped his chin with his left hand, and asked, "Dad, how many people do you plan to expand to?"

"Twenty senior knights, two hundred intermediate knights."

Old Saul said.

Luther nodded. This should be the lowest equipment standard for the Knights.Like the Royal Knights, the Knights of the Earl of Libya, and even the Knights composed of all senior knights.

But when the Knights of the Mountains has all the equipment, it's not too bad.After all, such a large mercenary group as the Saber-toothed Tiger mercenary group, high-level knights are equipped with this kind of equipment.

Mercenary regiments are mostly intermediate and junior knights.

"As for the military expenses, how do we apportion them?" Luther asked again.According to the agreement at the time, the military expenses of the knights established in the south were divided among the six territories.

"According to a period of wrangling and understanding of the tax situation in their respective territories, we will make detailed calculations, and each family will contribute the corresponding funds, and our Pompeii family will contribute the largest share."

Old Saul looked a bit brooding about this matter.

If there are six territories, they will be shared equally.Why do they have high taxes in Pompeii, so they have to pay a lot of money.

unfair.

"Dad, don't be so greedy. Now this knight order is stationed in Pompeii, and you are the commander. It means that we used their money to build our armed forces."

Luther rolled his eyes and said.

"Hey." Of course, Old Saul knew this, he smiled.

"By the way, what happened to the three large thieves groups in the six territories? Has all the information been collected?" Luther argued with his father, and then returned to serious issues.

This time he came back with many things to understand and plan.

The extermination of the thieves group in Orange is something that all the nobles in the Orange Council agree with.

Speaking of this, Old Sol was a little depressed.

"Of course I have collected information, and I plan to wait for the establishment of the Knights, and use the extermination of the Thieves to run the Knights. But these Thieves have quietly slipped away."

"Slipped away?" Luther was a little surprised.

"Because the great nobles of Orange took action to wipe out the bandit group, and they also heard that I formed a knight group, so they should have run away in fear."

Old Sol nodded and said.

"That's not necessarily the case. These thieves are most likely also the tentacles of the New Party. The New Party wants to do something, so it may gather strength."

Luther pondered for a moment, shook his head and said.

"No matter what, it's a good thing that there is no bandit group in the territory. Dad fills up the knight order and prepares for war."

Luther said again.

"I don't need you to tell me about this matter." Old Sol folded his hands on his chest, rolled his eyes, and looked a little arrogant.

Dad's personality has completely collapsed. When Luther first time traveled, he thought this dad was an old-fashioned guy.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Luther subconsciously looked over his shoulder. The Eagle King didn't come in and stayed on the carriage.

But old Sol knew the existence of the King of Eagles.

"If my guess is correct, the new party's plan should be to execute a large-scale beheading operation against the nobles of Orange. My suggestion is to invite the Earl of Windsor, Baron Billy, Baron Philip and others to live in Pompeii so that I can protect them together. "Luther said.

This is Luther's consideration for the safety of his allies. He is like this. The enemy is the enemy, and the ally is the ally. The distinction is very clear.

But Old Sol sneered and said, "You are kind, but they may not trust you."

"You mean?" Luther narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Although we are allies, they are also willing to support us in establishing the knight order and maintaining the security of the six territories. But they are also politicians. You launched a campaign against the Silver Wing Family, which made the Silver Wing Family lose their territory. They treat you They are vigilant, including Baron Philip. If they come to live in Pompeii, what will you do if you deal with them secretly."

Old Saul showed his true colors as a politician, ruthlessly pointing out everything.

Politicians do not fully trust anyone.

Luther patted his head, he was still too young.

But that's fine, whether these allies can survive depends on their own good fortune.

"Then after I'm done with things, I'll also live in this castle," Luther said.

"You want to cheat someone from the New Party?" Old Saul said right away.

"With the help of the King of Eagles, I'm a little embarrassed if I don't kill a few great knights from the New Party." Luther shrugged and said.

Because Luther still had things to do, he planned to leave after talking to Old Saul a few more times.At this time, Old Sol said again: "By the way, that fellow Ston has also become a senior knight."

Knight Ston used to be an elite middle-level knight. After being given the ancient knight training method by Old Sol, he finally broke through to become a high-level knight not long ago.

"Good thing." Luther smiled.

No matter how terrifying the newly recruited knights are or how powerful the knights are, the only knights that the Pompeii family relies on, and those who will never leave in times of crisis, are only members of the seven major families.

Knight Ston is still from Pompeii. It is of course a good thing to be a senior knight, and Knight Ston is still young, so he may become a great knight in the future.

Luther left the castle in a good mood. After leaving the castle, Luther first sent Miss Alice to her villa in the city, and then came to the city hall.

Entering the city hall, Luther asked Lelouch to send someone to call a meeting of important personnel in the territory, and he immediately went to the meeting room to sit down.

Not long after, all the important people in the territory came.

Mayor Lelouch.

Knight Commander, Knight of Ston.

Informal General Manager of Pompeii Group, Mrs. Sophie.

Orange Group General Manager, Kuba, Brown.

This is a small, but incredibly important meeting.

After everyone arrived, Luther asked Lu Luxiu, "Mr. Mayor, how is our autumn harvest in Pompeii this year?"

"A big harvest, the grain can last for a long time. And I learned that the grain production in the six territories is also very good." Lelouch knew what Luther meant, and said with a smile.

Next is the war, what is the most important?

is food.

It just so happens that Pompeii is rich in grain, and the whole of Orange is a granary. This year's autumn harvest is very important, because not only can it support the war, but it will also be of great help to the chaos that may occur in Orange in the future and the large influx of people.

More importantly, the Earl of Windsor also produces salt, Silver Wing collar and iron ore.

War is an opportunity. If a large number of people flow in, these six rural territories will develop into a very prosperous place like the earldom.

"Okay. Wait for next year's spring plowing, and we will spread our agricultural philosophy to six territories. Even if we fight for two or three years, we won't be afraid."

Luther lifted his spirits and said.
