"Our defense area is too vast and we must compress the front."

"Only by giving up those worthless territories and concentrating our strength can we survive the 'magic disaster'."

Byron pointed to the map of the barony and said.

All the knights, tax collectors, and constables from the Siberian Territory are in the conference room at the moment.

Although they are knights in name, except for Leisuo, the other lords of the knight realm do not have the strength of knights.

Knight is both a title and a symbol of strength.

There are two orthodox supernatural powers spread in the Western Region, the path of the wizard and the path of the knight.

Wizards require extremely rare soul talents, so their number is very small and rare. They can only be glimpsed in some mythological epics.

If you want to become a knight, you only need to work hard and practice the breathing method. However, most of the precious breathing methods are in the hands of nobles, so it is not easy for ordinary people to become a knight.

"Lord Byron, is the copper mine that brought in so much gold that day also the territory you said is worthless?"

Someone raised objections. He is the owner of a knight's territory, and the copper mine is located on his territory. In addition to the part supplied to the baron, he can enjoy 30% of the copper mine's profits.

"Hals, wealth is not worth mentioning in front of life."

"Where can these copper blocks go after the 'magic disaster' officially breaks out? In order to defend this copper mine, we must expend a lot of manpower."

"Letting you give up part of your territory and concentrate on the outer areas of the castle is not just for myself."

"Each of your knights has a garrison force of less than twenty people, which is barely able to deal with the scattered 'magic disasters' now."

"Once the 'magic disaster' breaks out on a large scale, it will be impossible to withstand it."

Byron said slowly.

Under such critical circumstances, these country lords were still unwilling to give up their territories and ridiculous wealth.

If they don't concentrate their efforts, they will only be defeated one by one.

"Lord Byron, although you are our lord, you have no right to ask us to give up our territory."

Hals didn't think the 'magic disaster' was very dangerous, but it was just an infestation of some scattered monsters, and the guards in his territory were more than enough to deal with these weak monsters.

This is the lack of knowledge and the short-sightedness of the new nobles. The outbreak period of the 'magic disaster' is extremely long, even longer than the destruction of small kingdoms. Only the library of the great nobles has detailed records of the 'magic disaster'.

Therefore, even though the royal family and the Holy See have issued notices to resist the 'magic disaster', a large number of rural nobles still did not pay attention to it.

Hals believes that letting them abandon their territory and concentrate on the outskirts of the castle is just a cowardly baron who wants to protect himself, or even part of Byron's plan to seize the entire copper mine income. Conspiracies and calculations among nobles are not uncommon.

.

The income from these copper mines is an important source of support for the operation of his territory, and he must not give it away.

"Of course, I'm just suggesting." Byron tapped the table with his index finger and said with a smile.

"Of course you have the right to stick to your own territory. But I sincerely suggest that you seriously consider my opinion. This is your responsibility for your own life."

"If we all evacuate to the castle area and there is no output from the eastern farmland, how can we maintain the food supply?"

Yin Laien raised a key issue. If there is no food security and no 'magic disaster' comes, they themselves will be destroyed first.

"First of all, there are enough food reserves in the castle to maintain operation for half a year."

"Every lord also has food storage on weekdays, which is enough to last for a while."

"Secondly, as a baron, I am qualified to exchange my merits in the 'Magic Disaster' for resources from the royal family and the Holy See, including food."

Byron had already responded to this. In the 'Magic Disaster', nobles above the baron level could use the corpses of demon legions in exchange for merit. These merits could be used to exchange for food, weapons and other material aid. If there were enough merits, even

Can be used to promote titles.

"What about the people who originally belonged to the territory?" Yin Laien asked.

"Those who intend to evacuate to the outskirts of the castle will be accepted. But they must provide labor or services."

The construction of fortifications and the recruitment of new soldiers require a large number of people. Byron naturally will not give up these people. In his opinion, these people are even far more important than the territories that the small lords value. After the 'Magic Disaster', the least

What is lacking is probably land, and population must be extremely scarce.

Save people and lose land, and both people and land will survive. Save land and lose people, and both people and land will be lost. The short-term material pressure brought about by a large population is acceptable in his opinion.

"What about our guard regiment? Can we still command it?" Another knight lord asked about his worries.

If their private soldiers cannot be commanded by themselves, that is unacceptable to them.

"Of course you will direct it yourself." Byron replied affirmatively.

"Everyone just needs to stay in their respective areas. If monsters attack, we can support each other."

"And I will not sit back and watch everyone resist at the front. I will personally lead the guards to investigate the monsters' movements and support you at any time."

Hearing that Byron would not interfere with their private soldiers, everyone's expressions softened, and several lords looked thoughtful. Stationing the troops outside the castle would indeed allow them to support each other. If they were in their respective territories,

I can only fight alone.

The terrain and fortifications outside the Baron's castle also make it easier for them to resist the demon army. Moreover, Baron Byron promised to provide them with military assistance. As for Byron's personal leadership, the knights only regarded it as a mere statement, and no one took it seriously.

.

"I agree with the Baron's proposal." Yin Laien was the first to speak. His ancestors were also from a noble family, and he knew much more about 'magic disasters' than these country nobles. The most important thing now is to think about how to survive, and

Don't care about the so-called territory or wealth.

Byron's current deployment is feasible in his opinion. If you want to survive the 'magic disaster', you must make some choices. Nowadays, unity will benefit and division will harm. Any isolated force wants to survive the 'magic disaster'

It is extremely difficult to survive.

In times of peace, increasing the family's territory and wealth is the noble's first priority.

But now, it is lucky to be able to maintain the current strength.

Yin Laien's first statement shocked others. They did not expect Yin Laien to be so decisive. You must know that this Lord is known for his shrewdness. If he supported the Baron's proposal, everyone paid more attention to it.

"I agree too."

What Byron didn't expect was that the second person who agreed to garrison the outside of the Baron's castle was Lei Suo, a guy who didn't listen to discipline very much. It seemed that it was Yin Laien's influence that prompted him to agree.

In the end, except for Hals and another knight lord, the other lords and territorial ministers agreed to Byron's proposal.

"Very good, everyone. I believe that with our joint efforts, we will be able to survive this 'magic disaster'." Byron said to everyone with a smile.

I hope this Lord Baron can continue to surprise me, Yin Laien thought to himself as he looked at Byron who was confident.
