The Extraordinary Earl

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

This is a happy thing, because workers can finally build villas without wearing raincoats.

Inside a villa in the villa area of ​​Pompeii's old town.

The entrance of this villa is guarded by two knights. It is obvious that the identity of the people in the villa is not simple. There was a carriage parked at the door of the villa.

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

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Baron." Lelouch was wearing a raincoat, holding a document in his hand, and with a slight smile on his face, he 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 house.

Lelouch obtained the signed document from Baron Philip.

This is a statement.

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

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

In fact, this is a generous compensation.

Because the annual income in Barton's territory is only a few hundred thousand gold coins, and apart from daily expenses, there is not much left in the year.

But now Baron Philip is receiving a salary of 30,000 yuan, which allows the Baron family to continue and live a good life.

The price paid was just the loss of rights.

The process was relatively smooth, because Baron Philip was not a particularly tough and stubborn person, and the current situation in Orange was indeed corrupt. Without the protection of the Pompeii family, he might have had to go to the endless deep forest to deal with the monsters.

The only problem is Baron Billy, an elite high-ranking knight who will most likely become a Grand Knight in the future.

Lelouch sat in the carriage and thought for a moment, waiting for what he would say when he visited. Soon after, Baron Billy's villa arrived.

There are 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. Not long after, Baron Billy came down from upstairs.

"Mr. Mayor." Baron Billy reached out his hand and said.

"Your Excellency Baron." Lelouch stretched out his hand and shook it.

Then the two people sat down. Lelouch took out the document, handed it to Baron Billy, and said, "Although it's a little hard to say, please take a look at this document."

Baron Billy smiled and reached out to take the document. After reading it, the smile on his face disappeared, but he did not become angry. Sighed: "I knew that the ambitions of the Pompeii family were not small, so although I proposed to make the Knights of Pompeii the generals of the mountains at the Grand Council that day, I was actually a little defensive. After the Silver Wing Governor invited us to live in Pompeii When I was protecting us, I was the one who tried to persuade the Earl of Windsor not to come to live in Pompeii. Unexpectedly, they died, but I survived. Moreover, Pompeii's actions were more generous than I thought. "

After finishing speaking, Baron Billy waved to Lelouch. Lelouch understood instantly and handed over a pen. Baron Billy signed the document.

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

"I already signed it before you." Lelouch nodded.

In my heart, I thought, it turned out that he was the one who escaped. Poor Earl of Windsor and the others 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 then said: "Now that Windsor and the others are dead, we have signed an agreement again. Congratulations to the Pompeii family, they have six territories."

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

Baron Billy signed so readily, Lelouch breathed a sigh of relief 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 families that still have lords, with a price of 30,000 gold coins for large territories and 3,000 gold coins for small territories. However, the Pompeii family retains the Will family, the Williams family, and the Sauron family. The small territory of the six families."

Lelouch said.

In view of the close ties between the seven major 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 the town and there was no room for development, so it didn't matter.

"Pompey's cunning little devil." Baron Billy also said this catchphrase, and he laughed after saying it.

Lelouch also smiled, then stood up and shook hands with Baron Billy before taking his leave.

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

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

Printed with Pompeii's coat of arms, mountains and white eagle.

"That cunning brat."

In the city of Sparta, in a villa. Frost Knight Siddhartha also said the same thing.

In the small living room on the second floor of the villa, key personnel of the New Party gathered. Siddhartha the person in charge, Knight Sydney the chief of staff, and the other four.

The news had just arrived from Pompeii.

The Pompeii family formed an alliance with the Mountain Eagle, and the Eagle King swallowed up the three great knights of the new party and hundreds of knights in one go.

After hearing the news, Siddhartha said this.

"That cunning brat."

He should not be underestimated.

"What do we do now, do we clean up Pompeii's house?" one person asked.

Siddhartha looked at the Sydney Knight, because this was the chief of staff.

The Sydney Knight thought for a moment and said: "The current situation is very delicate. We have four titled knights. The Earl of Libya and Duke Filger also have four titled knights. The Eagle King is very difficult to deal with. If we want to kill it, we must mobilize two If we have a title knight, then our defense will be empty. When the time comes, the Count of Libya and Duke Felger will send people to kill the title knight we have left behind, and everything will be over.”

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

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

It is not an easy task to kill a flying and phoenix monster.

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

That sly little devil.

"It's okay." The Sydney Grand Knight smiled and said: "The Pompeii family used to be a knight lord family. Not long ago, they became a governor family. Now they have become the governor of a large territory. They have nothing but the Eagle King. ”

"The city has no wizard tower, no magic circle protection, and only one high-level knight. Under such circumstances, the Eagle King is like a hen, and can do nothing but guard Pompeii. They just We can watch us fight with the Earl of Libya, Duke Felger, and pray that the nobles will win. If the nobles fail, we will go south and eat his territory. "

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

Siddhartha smiled easily.

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

The new party, Count of Libya, Duke of Ferg.

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

The background is too shallow.
