The Extraordinary Earl

"But how to develop it? Whether it is the number of wizards, the number of knights, or the reconstruction of the city, it will take time."

"I can't conjure up a large number of wizards and knights out of thin air to serve the Pompeii family."

"Damn the New Party. If it hadn't been for the New Party's mess, I would have become a great noble after twenty years of development. Now I'm fine. Although I've become a big fat man after one bite, my heart is pounding. I'm nervous and excited."

Luther supported his chin with his hand, and then simply put his chin on the desk. His eyes were wandering around, but he had no idea.

In fact, there are still ideas.

Establish ordinary schools and improve the literacy rate of the people.

Build extraordinary schools and increase the number of wizards and knights.

You can also carry out an industrial revolution in the territory and let the territory enter the industrial revolution. As long as it enters the industrial revolution era, the economy of the White Eagle Territory will take off.

These are very safe methods, but the problem is that they all take time.

It takes seven or eight years to train a knight, starting from the age of eight and reaching the age of fifteen or sixteen.

If you train a wizard, you may only train a wizard apprentice for a lifetime.

Entering the industrial age, you can't just talk about it, it requires all aspects of arrangement, and it also takes time.

And how much time could the conflict and war between the new party and the nobles leave for Luther?

"Ah. It's so annoying." Luther scratched his head, then rolled onto the desk, bent his legs, and put his hands on the back of his head.

Relax, relax.

Empty your mind and you will get the answers you want.

Luther was hypnotizing himself.

At this moment, a knight walked in from outside. Seeing Luther's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, and then reported as if nothing had happened: "Mr. Governor, the guards reported that there is a large group of knights outside the north city gate who are about to enter the city. The leader claims to be your friend, the Knight of Tomahawk and the Knight of Orleans. The captain of the guard did not dare to let them in, so he sent someone to inform them. "

After hearing this, Luther immediately became happy. I remembered the conversation I had with the Knight of Orleans before. At that time, the Knight of Orleans revealed that he would give up his mercenary career and come to Pompeii to be a guard.

Luther's answer at that time was that the door to Pompeii's house is always open to you.

This time the Tomahawk Knights and Orleans Knights not only came, but also brought a large number of knights with them.

And the Pompeii family lacked combat power.

Of course Luther was very surprised, and of course he was also confused.

"The Saber-Toothed Tiger Mercenary Group is stationed in the Golden City, how could they come to Pompeii?" Doubts remain doubts. The most important thing at this time is to welcome them.

Luther said to the knight: "Let the guards welcome everyone into the city, give them tents to rest, and ask the knights of the battle ax and the knights of Orleans to come to the castle to see me."

"Yes." The knight responded and went down to deal with it.

Luther came down from the study to the hall and sat for a while. I saw the Tomahawk Knight, the Orleans Knight, and Mr. Al.

"Gentlemen." Luther stood up and shook hands with the three of them, and then the four of them sat down.

Now everyone's status is different from before. In their eyes, Luther was a burdensome little devil, but now he is the famous Governor White Eagle.

But the attitude of the Tomahawk Knight was still the same. After he sat down, he smiled and said: "Luther, we have come to take refuge with you."

"Welcome, welcome." Luther said with a smile, and then expressed his doubts, "But now that the New Party is causing chaos in the central and southern regions, how did you get here?"

"It's a long story. Since the war broke out, the Count of Libya has reorganized the mercenaries in the Golden City. The head of the group and some of the mercenaries have joined the Libyan army. But we feel that we are civilians. Even if we join the Libyan army The army is also not trusted, and it is easy to become cannon fodder when the war begins, so we came to join you as soon as we discussed it. As for the journey, we traveled through the endless deep forest."

The battle ax knight said with a smile.

Luther understood.

The entire territory of Orange Province, southeast and west, is surrounded by endless deep forests. Since the main road is impassable, there is a way out.

The mercenaries are all battle-hardened knights who can do this.

As for the Tomahawk Knight's concerns, Luther also agreed. The mercenaries are not direct descendants of the Libyan army and will definitely be cannon fodder in the event of war.

"How many people are there in total?" This was the question Luther was most concerned about.

"There are nearly a thousand personnel, five senior knights, thirty intermediate knights, and one hundred and fifty-two junior knights." The battle ax knight said with a smile.

"Mr. Knight, you brought me a team of knights. This is really great." Luther laughed happily.

"That's not all. Have you seen Mr. Al? There are four junior combat wizards accompanying him." The battle ax knight pointed at Mr. Al and said cheerfully.

"I still have a wizard group." Luther was a little surprised, but even happier.

"Don't worry, sir, I will make proper arrangements for your shelter, food, and clothing. As for the knights, I plan to organize them into a new knight order, the Tomahawk Knights, and you will be the general."

Luther assured him first, and then said to the battle ax knight.

The members of the Sabretooth Tiger mercenary group are different from the fleeing nobles. Luther needs to take care of all the lives of the members of the mercenary group.

"General? A very noble title." The battle ax knight was stunned for a moment, then joked.

The members of a general knighthood are at least intermediate knights, and the leader is usually a senior knight.

Once you get to Luther, you have no choice but to lower your requirements.

The Tomahawk Knight didn't expect that he would one day become a general.

"Haha." Luther smiled, and then personally took the Tomahawk Knight and others to the city hall, asking Mayor Lelouch to provide a garrison for the Sabretooth Tiger Mercenary Group, and arrange for the families brought by the members to be properly 's residence.

Afterwards, Luther also met with the other three combat wizards who came with him this time. In addition to the official wizards, there were also some wizard apprentices.

Luther also met him.

Mainly to express the host's hospitality.

After meeting these wizards, Luther had the idea of ​​forming a formal wizarding group.

Every large territory has a considerable number of wizards. The more prosperous the city, the more wizards there are. Because wizards make money by selling magic potions, in a prosperous city, there are more wealthy people.

Rich people often want to take pills to get a knight's body.

In this way, there is a relationship between supply and demand.

In such a situation, every powerful lord will have a group of wizards who serve as both magical advisors and combatants.

Of course, in order to gain the loyalty of wizards, lords usually have to pay a certain price.
