The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Fighting for power and profit, selfishness and greed, this is human nature!

Therefore, at any time, people’s desire for power is greedy, and their control over power is selfish.

Therefore, most ordinary people have a strong desire to control their own power.

There may be hermits who are truly indifferent to fame and fortune, but they are definitely not many.

And Ramos is definitely not!

Therefore, everyone was surprised that he had voluntarily given up his post as military officer.

Even though he was only a military officer for a small territory with only 2000 people, and was in charge of 60 soldiers... he was still an official, and he had the authority to exercise power!

If we hand it over now, wouldn't it be a huge loss?

Moreover, the development of White Bear Territory is currently in its rising stage. Judging from the current situation, the future development prospects of White Bear Territory are good.

Then in the future, the power of this military officer will surely become greater and greater!

Since they can follow Sauron to seek opportunities in the Western War, they must be ambitious people!

Therefore, they wanted to obtain more power in their hands, but they were too late! How could they possibly give it up?

Henry, who was about to stand up and speak, felt awkward when he heard Ramos's words of abdication.

He and Martin had already discussed it and formed an alliance. Today, he would impeach Ramos and then request to replace the territory's military officer.

But now Ramos took the initiative to give up the position, which made him feel a little frustrated.

So he looked at Martin beside him.

Martin pressed down slightly with his left hand, motioning him to sit down first and be patient.

From the conversation with Master Soran, he had already heard that the master wanted to replace Ramos.

That's why he wanted to join forces with Henry today and prepare to fight for it!

But now that Ramos has taken the initiative to suggest it, there is no need to be too anxious!

Lest you be labeled as a “bad guy”!

Soran also looked at Ramos in surprise.

Although he had long thought of replacing Ramos, he was also very surprised that he voluntarily gave up his position as military officer.

As a lord and a baron, he can directly appoint all officials in the territory and turn this meeting room into a one-man show.

But now, the power framework of the territory has been initially established, so he also has to consider the feelings of his subordinates so as not to disappoint them.

If he removed Ramos from his position for no reason, others might not have any objections on the surface, but no one knows what they are thinking in their hearts.

People’s minds are unpredictable, and things in the world are hard to predict. These subordinates are not machines, they all have their own ideas, which Sauron cannot control.

So all he can do is to try his best to be fair and just, to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, and to be as impartial as possible without being biased.

Only in this way can we maintain a good team atmosphere and gather all the strength into one.

But now that Ramos himself brought it up, it’s different!

And Soran saw all the little moves between Martin and Henry, but he was not angry about it.

People go to high places, water flows to low places, and fighting for power and gaining high positions is human nature, which Sauron can understand.

But as long as you don't go too far, don't cross the bottom line by any means necessary, and it's still within your acceptable range, that's enough.

And if Martin and the others remained silent from beginning to end and did not make any moves, Soran would still look down on them!

After all, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is sometimes not a good soldier!

"Next, I will announce the appointment of new officials in the territory!" At this point in the meeting, no one said anything more about this agenda and they all remained silent tacitly.

The result is now clear, and further discussions will not produce any better results.

So Soran did not wait any longer, but spoke directly: "The appointments of the territorial officials are as follows:

Wulff was the political officer, responsible for leading the political office and handling the territory's political affairs;

Adam is the commercial officer, responsible for leading the caravan and developing the territory's commerce.

Gubellini will be the treasurer, responsible for the financial expenditure management of the territory and directly responsible to me;

Military officer..."

Soren glanced back and forth between Martin and Ramos.

Martin sat up slightly straighter on the spot, as if he was holding his head high and chest out, with some inexplicable confidence.

Ramos hung his head with a somewhat depressed expression, like a worshiping rooster.

"Martin will be the military officer! He will be in charge of leading the territory guard." Soran said directly: "As for Ramos, you will be the captain of the personal guard and be in charge of leading my knight personal guard. From now on, you will serve by my side! I will teach you personally!"

"Other people not mentioned here, please keep your positions unchanged!"

Sauron: Hehe, I have made everything fair, right? Everyone has an official position, everyone has a job!

In fact, letting Ramos be the captain of the personal guard and lead his own knight guard was not something that Soran suddenly thought of, but something he had thought about carefully.

The Knight Guards would definitely need to accompany him on business trips in the future, but currently none of them had advanced to become a formal knight.

Therefore, letting Ramos lead the army is not only legitimate, but also when the regular knights attack in the future, Sauron won't have to go out and kill the enemy himself.

You can let Ramos deal with it first and test the waters. If Ramos can’t beat them, then we can talk about it later!

After hearing Soran's words, most people present remained calm.

After all, Ramos is an advanced knight with knowledge, so even if he retires from the position of military officer, he will definitely not be idle.

The territory is currently in a period of development and there is a shortage of talent, so he must be given something to do.

It would be fine if he were to serve as the captain of the royal guard now.

At least with Master Sauron watching him, there's no need to worry about him causing any trouble!

However, the performances of Martin and Ramos are somewhat different.

Ramos's expression turned from sad to happy, and he showed a simple smile on his face.

He originally thought that the young master was extremely disappointed in him!

But I didn't expect that now there is a ray of hope in the world, and the young master actually transferred me to his side to teach me!

Martin, who was standing by, twitched his mouth slightly and clenched his fists under the table.

As the saying goes: A third-rank official in front of the emperor!

Although the current White Bear Lord is not that exaggerated, there is no doubt that he can command Baron Sauron’s Knight Guards!

The status and treatment are definitely much better than that of this military officer.

But soon, Martin's fists unclenched and his face returned to a smiling expression.

Considering my current status, it is already great to be able to get the position of military officer! There is no need to force anything!

Because if you really think about it, Martin and Ramos' identities are actually slightly different.

Martin was the "property" that Baron Lipton used to support Soran. Strictly speaking, he was Soran's slave.

Ramos is a beggar adopted by Sauron. In a sense, Sauron is Ramos's savior, or Ramos is Sauron's "adopted son."

So when Soran suddenly made this arrangement, Martin also thought so, and it was natural to understand.

But in fact, all this is just Martin's wishful thinking!

Soran didn't think too much about this arrangement, he just wanted it to be "fair".
