Chapter 215 Wearing the Yellow Robe (2)

Ronald's status as a governor is very important.

Even if he is being watched closely, he can still do a lot of things with this status.

The secret order given to him by King Arthur was completely shaken off.

He had already had an idea, because the capital was in chaos, he secretly moved his family here.

Now that he has seized the opportunity, he pledges allegiance to Derek without hesitation.

Anyway, his master has died, and it is rumored that it was the new king who did it. From a legal and moral point of view, it is reasonable to rebel against the new king.

Derek certainly chose to accept Ronald, and the other party's identity is very important.

The governor of a province publicly stated his position, but it can influence many people.

But it's not at this time, we need to wait.

"Governor Ronald, the Leopold family was conferred by the kingdom and cannot do anything to let the kingdom down. King Arthur is unjust. I will ask clearly, you should get up first."

Conferred by the kingdom, not King Arthur.

Ronald instantly understood the meaning behind this sentence.

"Duke, the people's will is in the hearts of the people. Now the kingdom is in civil strife and brothers are killing each other. As the Duke of the North, you have the responsibility to carry the sky of the North." Ronald persuaded from a different angle.

It must be said that people who have been generals are different, and their level is high.

Duke Leopold looked hesitant.

Ronald took the opportunity to continue his advice: "The establishment of the principality can be discussed later. Please accept the province of St. Peter first. Now there are external and internal troubles. I have limited ability and cannot protect a place. I beg you to lend a hand."

Ronald's words were sincere and sincere. Without mentioning anything else, he came to ask for help.

The civil strife in the Kingdom of Locke was getting worse and worse. It was obvious that he could not take care of the province of St. Peter. The Duke had to intervene.

Sure enough, Derek's expression relaxed, and after a long while he finally nodded reluctantly: "Don't mention the duchy. I will not stand idly by in the St. Peter Province. Governor Ronald, what you have done in the past few years is obvious to all. You should continue to perform your duties. I can only help you stabilize the situation."

Agree to take over, Ronald is very open-minded. He will always have a chance to be reinstated in the future if he is just a figurehead.

Rather than being watched by others, it is better to be straightforward.

And the purpose of persuading has been achieved. He has completed the task perfectly.

When the Northern Duchy is established in the future, can he forget his contribution?

This is the qualification in the future.

Ronald is just a prelude. Soon, noble knights from all over the country rushed to Swan Castle in an endless stream to persuade Derek to establish a duchy.

Even the two northern earls came, but they were just spectators for the time being.

In Swan Castle, dozens of nobles can be seen arriving every day.

Count Jeffreys and Count Perez watched coldly.

This was a one-man show arranged by Duke Leopold himself, and they were not aware of it in advance.

They wanted to see how many people came to persuade him to come.

After a day or two, the two earls gradually felt something was wrong.

"Are there so many nobles in the North?"

Count Perez was very surprised. He saw hundreds of nobles arriving in the past few days, which was very spectacular.

Looking from the observation deck on the second floor of Swan Castle, the surrounding area was full of fluttering noble flags.

There were so many flags flying that it was hard to see them all at a glance.

Taking the northern province as an example, from earls to knights, there were only a hundred or so nobles in the fiefdoms at most, and with the division of other court earls and noble children, there were only a few hundred families.

In the past few years, the nobles in the North have won battles and battles, and a group of new nobles have indeed emerged, but they are all in the newly occupied provinces, and most of them are under the command of Duke Leopold.

They really didn't notice when there were so many more nobles.

Count Perez felt it the most. It turned out that Derek had grown up without knowing it.

"There are too many new nobles, but they are still advocated by our own people. Is it interesting?"

"Not only that, I saw many familiar faces. Leopold has become the trend." Earl Jefferys looked solemn.

The pattern of the Northland is about to change. Where will the family go in the future?

Earl Perez took a closer look and found that many of the flags were familiar to him.

"Do all these people support Derek?"

Support, of course.

Let alone everyone making money from the Leopold family, first of all, the new nobles who were knighted for military merit are Leopold's natural supporters.

Then the old nobles also have relatives and friends who have joined the new nobles, and they are easily influenced.

Finally, hundreds of sub-nobles have come, wouldn't it be very conspicuous if you don't come?

Unless you don't want to mix in the Northland in the future, you must come to support.

Derek is very busy. He has to meet the visiting nobles one by one. This is basic etiquette.

Fortunately, he is not panicked at all. Outsiders only see that there are many new nobles, but they don't know how many nobles are of civilian origin.

These nobles of civilian origin account for half of the barons and viscounts, such as Simon.

And in the knight class, they account for more than 80%.

A large number of civilian knights, from soldiers to knights, are all under the leadership of Derek.

What is engraved in their bones is obedience.

Soldiers, obedience is unmatched by other nobles.

Even the knights sent out have no backers, and their biggest background is Leopold.

There is no need to win over, everyone is trying their best to advocate for Leopold, they are the ones who most hope that the Duke will reach a higher position.

Some irrational people even want to rush to the capital and invite His Excellency the Duke to sit on the throne.

Only when Duke Leopold is stronger, their future will be better.

This is Derek's greatest confidence. With the support of hundreds of knights, he can control millions of people in four provinces with these knights.

One-third of the sheriffs in various places came from Duke Leopold's army, and the rest are potential supporters of the Duke.

The outside world is more stable. The Locke Kingdom is unable to intervene, and the two brothers fight more fiercely.

Compared with Derek, it is obvious that the brothers are more hateful.

It can be said that all the conditions for being a duke and establishing a country are in place.

Derek is still insisting, this reputation is very important.

Seeing the stalemate, Adrian finally arrived late.

That night, a group of officers and knights gathered together.

"Persuade him to come in, we will directly prepare everything for the Duke and announce it to the world." Virut proposed a bold idea.

Coercing the Duke, this is too bold.

The lively gathering was silent in an instant. Derek's influence is not covered, and no one dares to do this.

Adrian was shocked. He was originally going to make this suggestion, but he didn't know that Virut proposed it first.

Will this kid be rebellious?

Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Virut quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't dare to do this kind of thing, and it's not our turn to do it.

I mean to ask your father, Adrian, to preside over this matter."

Forcing the coronation, no matter who presides over it, it will not end well even if it succeeds.

The monarch cannot tolerate such a subordinate.

But if it's Andrew, there will be no problem.
