Pamol, Badeke and James, the three probationary knights, were reorganizing the army. They took the original fifty soldiers as the backbone and regrouped them. Of course, those who came with their teams did not disperse, such as Caseyton still leading his original team.

  James wasn't yet eligible to join the aristocratic banquet, but he wrinkled his nose in satisfaction at the aroma of freshly baked bread and the flavor of roasted meat.

  But seeing these troops, his brow furrowed. These unruly fellows could only be barely controlled by Sir Hannet, and they had barely formed a force of 200 infantrymen, 100 archers, and 10 shock cavalrymen, which was already considered quite large-scale.

  Clerk Bonny was busy running back and forth, shouting loudly. He was originally a shopkeeper, a free man, because he knew a few characters, could do arithmetic, and brought a cart of miscellaneous goods - flour, wine, dried meat, salt, so he was immediately appointed as a clerk by Sir Hannet, together with the other two clerks, to manage the supplies of the entire camp.

  "Listen up, the lord's decree has only three articles. First, those who disobey orders will be hanged immediately. Second, private plundering is not allowed, but killing a dark soldier will be rewarded with 50 pounds of flour, and killing a dark knight will result in immediate promotion to knight attendant. Third, those who kill three dark soldiers will become free men immediately. The lord allows you to choose a house, a piece of land, and even allows you to choose a woman!"

  James listened, and he didn't know what kind of feeling it was in his heart, but this seemed to be the need of war.

  The camp was in an uproar, everyone sharpening their swords, checking their leather jackets and helmets, and counting their long arrows.

  At this time, at the entrance of the noble manor, Fang Xin dismounted his horse without any attendants, but brought a team of thirty powerful vagrants who were selected and left outside, then went straight to the door - with him was Isadore Hargti, a wizard equivalent to ten knights.

  "Sir Hanniett Edin Lycork has arrived!"

  "It's Isador Haggerty, the lawyer!"

  "Welcome, great wizard! You look exactly the same as you did ten years ago, not a single bit of aging, it's truly enviable!" Just then, two middle-aged men walked out from the grand hall, both wearing luxurious clothes. One had a hat with two rows of ermine fur and a silver ring on top, adorned with six silver balls - this was unmistakably Cheklii Reiz, Viscount. The other one, who wasn't Eddy Derrik, Baron, must be Habu Dabus, Baron. These two men saw Isado Hagt and spoke warmly.

  Fang Xin arrived here and also understood the content of the noble title. It turned out that the size of the title was determined by the territory, but the title, property, and political privileges were only owned by the holder of the title himself. Although his family members were members of the aristocratic family, their political status was slightly higher than that of free citizens.

  Knights, in fact, belong to the hereditary nobility and are not considered formal members of the nobility.

  Fang Xin smiled and bowed: "Chekley, Viscount Lei, Habu, Baron Dabs, it's an honor to meet you both."

  There is no superior or inferior relationship between nobles, but for high-ranking nobles, low-ranking nobles should pay their respects first.

  The two of them received this courtesy but didn't return it, just kept a basic politeness, slightly nodding in acknowledgement.

  At that moment, everyone present suddenly felt a thick and icy wall appearing between them.

  "Gentlemen, masters, please come in and talk!" said the clerk standing at the door.

  Since Fang Xin had already greeted them, upon hearing this, seeing that the two nobles didn't move, he didn't say a word and directly walked into the great hall. Isador Hagtelf followed immediately after, only slightly nodding at the two nobles.

  This left the two nobles who were trying to show off momentarily stunned, followed by anger!

  Everyone's position is carefully arranged and absolutely no mistakes are allowed.

  As the nobles entered, the waltz in the grand hall began to resound. The beautiful melody made everyone present become enchanted. This kind of traditional music had already become extremely rare. In the war that occurred once every ten years, almost all resources and strength were devoted to the war effort, so preserving this kind of musician was already a luxurious act.

  "Hannett, aren't you being a bit rude?" Ellie came over and asked.

  "No big deal, if I win again, do you think I can directly seize the military power of these two lords?" Fang said calmly, his expression so serene: "The so-called noble order, only when there are enough nobles, will it form, and only in peaceful times, will it be stable."

  "And these two points, neither of them is met. The seven nobles are not enough to prop up a stable noble order, and in this world, everyone is struggling for survival. The darkness that shrouds everything brings suffering, blood, and tears, not just for ten years or a hundred years, but for three hundred years. Miss, do you understand the weight of pain and hope that has been pressing down on the people's hearts for three hundred years?"

  "I am already a torch in the darkness, but this torch is not strong enough, not dazzling enough, so there is still hesitation. However, if I win once more and let all the people recognize who the true savior is, then no one can stop me. If you had to choose between me and these two gentlemen, what do you think the people would choose? The trend is in my favor, not to mention the commoners, even the nobles will be at my mercy."

  "Whoever walks with me will gain glory and wealth, whoever opposes me will be destroyed. In this case, what's the point of saying more? Of course, the only chance is to kill me now, but can you do it? Even if you succeed, what will be the outcome?"

  Fang Xin's calmness and smile made Eli shudder, reminding her of the thirty refugee warriors Fang Xin had brought outside, a chill ran down her spine, and her body trembled slightly.

  Although there were thirty knights in the entire nobility class, excluding those who guarded their territories, only twenty came.

  Fang Xinneng can kill high-level dark knights, and his strength is naturally terrifying. If he also gains the support of Isado Hagtifa, then it's possible to wipe them out in one net.

  Especially here, the territorial army has already witnessed victory. If Fang Xinsheng calls out, it's hard to say who the territorial soldiers will listen to. In coordination with the field camp, the outcome has actually been decided.

  "What do you want to do?" Elly said in a low voice.

  "What's wrong? I'm just explaining to you, if we can resolve it peacefully at the nobles' meeting, then that's fine. If not, then there's no need to drag it out any longer, let's settle it once and for all. What do you say?"

  "This is a far too dangerous proposal, what do you want, all nobles to yield?"

  "No, no, I just want to make sure everyone doesn't waste time on meaningless things. Let's integrate the allied forces and put them under my unified command, then allocate... yes, fairly allocate based on the number of soldiers and knights each side contributes. As the leader, I'll take an extra 10%, but don't worry, I can guarantee that what you and I get will be split equally. To be honest, I'm not too keen on territories."

  "If they are unwilling, then just detain them directly. I believe that at this time, the great army will press in and take down the leaders, no one will dare to make internal chaos!" Fang Xin said with a smile.

  "Doing so will only greatly reduce our strength, and even if you seize military power in this way, what's the use? What we need is an army with a united will, not one full of cracks and suspicions!"

  "Miss, I've said it before, but unfortunately you didn't fully understand. Three hundred years of suffering and bloodshed, accumulated hopes, can already create a united and fearless team that doesn't fear sacrifice and cleansing - as long as I can lead them to victory!" Fang Xin said coldly.

  These words suddenly made Ellie wake up like a dream, understanding the key point, and her body trembled involuntarily.

  At this time, Isardor Hagt lowered his head, with an unpredictable expression, and a different color appeared in his eyes, gripping the staff tightly.
