Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

It was a very discordant scene. In name, the two sides should be enemies, leading their armies to confront each other.

Even if they were to meet, it should not have happened in the Halei Castle.

But the fact is that Earl Connor would rather take the risk and come to the Rockman's territory and sit opposite Derek.

"This is the first time we meet, Viscount Derek."

"I believe it will not be the last time, Earl."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

To be able to appear here, many things do not need to be said in detail.

Earl Connor is definitely not a loyal minister of the Bruno family, there is no doubt about that.

So, he is not here to poach on behalf of the king.

A small knowledge point needs to be popularized, that is, beyond the province of St. Peter, it is not far from Earl Connor's fiefdom.

Now, on the long table between the two, there is a map.

"Earl, I think I can fulfill my promise in advance."

Derek signaled Earl Connor to choose by himself.

That piece of barony, the remuneration agreed by the two.

Although the situation has changed now, although it can be delayed.

But Derek chose to cash it in advance.

Earl Connor took the risk to come here, naturally because of the temptation of interests.

A barony, and a barony with a population of over 10,000, is really a big temptation.

On the map, large tracts of land are left blank, and they are obviously available for selection.

Ironically, not long ago, this was the territory of the Kingdom of the Holy Cross.

The king was stingy and unwilling to grant Connor an extra piece of land, and now it has returned to the other party.

Earl Connor smiled knowingly, which was really ironic.

But soon, he found something wrong.

"This... is a wilderness, a barbarian's territory."

It must not be a mistake. Derek would make such an obvious mistake unless his brain was broken.

That is intentional.

What is he thinking?

At this moment, Earl Connor thought a lot.

Derek was not in a hurry to urge him.

This is the choice.

If he chooses to pick a territory in the province of St. Peter, then the future exchanges will not be deeper.

Earl Connor is different from others. He was born as a knight and has come to where he is today step by step.

He dares to take risks and has grievances.

So...

"Here, you can leave a place for me. The barony is too small. Let's fulfill it in ten years."

The place where Earl Connor pointed is exactly the barbarian wilderness.

Derek smiled, stood up and stretched out his hand: "Believe me, I will fulfill my promise."

"I believe you."

After the two shook hands and sat down, Earl Connor relaxed a lot.

"We need to communicate regularly and in a safe way.

Now, I want to remind you that the Bruno family will not give up."

The king's plan cannot be hidden from high-level nobles like Earl Connor.

He can even tell the details bit by bit and give Derek reference.

But Derek also has a way. After occupying a larger buffer space, he has turned passive into active.

Continuously cultivating elite warriors can not only defeat the enemy, but also do more things with fewer people.

A group of elite soldiers, plus high-level regular soldiers, can fight against ten times the number of enemies without much consumption.

Now it is the Holy Cross Kingdom's turn to worry. They will soon find out which side they should defend.

As for sacrifice, Derek trained soldiers for fighting.

Is it because they have been with me for a long time and have elite strength, so they are kept at home for worship?

Any soldier is valuable and can be used for consumption.

Elite soldiers, when they are no longer rare, are naturally more casual to use.

This has nothing to do with cruelty. The enemy will not surrender because of your kindness.

What you can't get in war, you can't get in other ways.

As long as it is not intentional abuse, any way of using soldiers is normal, especially in this fucked up world.

Earl Connor left a lot of intelligence, which gave Derek important reference.

When Earl Connor left, Derek had arranged several small elite troops to take the initiative to attack.

One, two, three or four hundred elite troops can cause great damage.

Their number also determines that the consumption will not be too great, and there is no problem in replenishing them on the spot.

And Derek himself also embarked on the return journey.

He needs a marriage to completely eliminate the hidden dangers.

War can get everything, but it cannot maintain rule.

In the final analysis, people's hearts are the most difficult to conquer.

He has a plug-in, but he also needs to maintain the loyalty of his men.

Back to Augusta Territory, the traces of the war cannot be eliminated.

New cities continue to be built, knights are driving back and forth, and farmers have rushed to plant a season of grain.

Everything seems to be unchanged.

But some familiar faces disappeared, and some farmers with foreign accents appeared here.

Derek simply inspected the territory, and he would personally meet and take a look at all the senior officials and officers.

Those who are still on the panel don't need to be taken care of.

Those who disappeared will see whether the other party is sacrificed or marginalized.

And this number is actually not small.

Whether it is the wooing of all parties or other thoughts, it is possible.

People's hearts will never be satisfied.

Why is loyalty praised? Isn't it too rare?

Derek was a little depressed because many people followed him a long time ago.

It was also at this time that relatives of the Ferreira family arrived one after another.

The Ferreira family has been passed down for so many years, but it has been tepid.

Derek is also the first Ferreira bloodline to become a great noble.

No matter what the consideration is, no one wants to miss his marriage.

In addition, there are many opportunities here, and everyone wants to try their luck.

Even the Baron and his wife of Ferreira temporarily left the territory and came to their son's territory.

Derek settled them in Augusta City, where the environment is much better than the military castle.

The Perez family's marriage is very urgent. They try to complete the marriage before Derek is promoted to the title, otherwise there may be some minor troubles.

When both parties are satisfied, the marriage progresses very quickly.

The Perez family attaches great importance to this new son-in-law. This will be an important marriage between the two earl families and a guarantee for the rise of the northern nobles.

When the three northern earl families united, even the king had to make some concessions.

The northern nobles gained more fiefs and faced greater pressure.

Everyone, all northern nobles, hoped that this marriage with political significance would go smoothly.
