The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Sir Colbert immediately looked at Sauron and smiled at him!

Sauron's scalp tightened when he saw this, knowing that he was up to no good, but before Sauron could make any move!

Sir Colbert said directly: "It's the territory of Baron Soren, the interior minister of White Bear Territory! Lord Wolf Cook!"

Suddenly, everyone looked at Sauron. Sauron felt very uncomfortable and could only smile awkwardly!

Countess Katis looked at Soran and asked with interest: "Sir Colbert, please give your reasons for the recommendation!"

"I have only one reason, and that is the environment! The environment of Flanders Town in White Bear Territory is not an exaggeration, it is the best environment I have ever seen in my life! It is definitely ten times better than the city of Ganise! There is no feces or urine on the road, no sewage, no garbage, and no unpleasant smells!"

"I'm not lying. If I didn't still hold an important position in Seagull Castle, I would have moved my whole family to White Bear Territory to settle down!"

"To be honest, I really can't stand the feces and urine-filled environment and the foul smell in the city of Ganise! It's disgusting!" As he said this, Sir Colbert did not forget to make a look of disgust.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement!

After all, they live in the city of Ganise, so they naturally know about the environment of the city!

But there is nothing we can do!

Forget about the city of Ganise, even the royal capital of Sindleir is almost the same!

Everyone gets used to it after seeing it so many times!

Countess Katis also knew this, which was actually the reason why Countess Katis liked to stay in Seagull Castle and was not very willing to go to Ganise City.

Out of sight, out of mind!

But after Sir Colbert said this, Countess Curtis suddenly understood!

When we move to the Antilles in the future, there will be no Seagull Castle to live in!

That means she has to live in a new city in a new territory!

If by then, the environment there is still the same as that in the city of Ganise!

"yue" Countess Katis suppressed the urge to vomit deep in her heart and maintained her dignified and elegant demeanor!

"Is this true, Baron Sauron?" Countess Katis asked.

"It's not as exaggerated as Sir Colbert said! I just took some small measures!" Soran stood up and said modestly.

He then told them about the sanitation management measures in his territory, including public toilets, manure pits, sewers, reward and punishment systems, etc.!

In fact, Soran didn't want to fight for the position of Internal Affairs Officer!

Because he knew that he was outnumbered here and could never win against these people!

He just wanted to wait until he moved to the Antilles, have Countess Katis grant him an island of decent size, and then slowly develop his power!

Now that the opportunity has been given to me, I have to fight for it!

Sauron is not an idiot. If there is a chance to fight for it, he will definitely roll up his sleeves and do it!

As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later!

However, the measures that Soran mentioned made Countess Katis' eyes light up, and she felt that there was great potential!

I have also decided on this candidate for the interior minister in my mind!

But she did not make it public, instead she asked everyone: "What do you think of what Baron Soran said!"

"My Lord, I think..." Andre was about to retort.

But before he could finish a few words, the others started to make a noise:

"My Lord, I think it's okay!"

"Yes! Yes! Lord Earl, although Ganise is developing well, the environment is really too bad!"

"If the environment is really as Lord Count Cole said, I think it's okay!"

"Baron Soran is so smart! He can come up with such a good idea!"

……

Everyone present spoke at once, either in agreement or in praise!

This made Sauron feel a little embarrassed!

But he also knew that these people were not praising him sincerely!

The reason they did this was because they held the attitude that if I can't get it, then you, Andre, can't get it either!

And they were really disgusted by Sir Roland's attitude of "no money, no work"!

If I let his son be the internal affairs officer, wouldn't I be exploited by him in the future?

So instead of doing that, it’s better to just throw it away so no one can get it!

Upon seeing this, Countess Katis also followed the crowd's opinion and said: "Okay, then let's choose this person as the new territory's internal affairs officer... um..."

Sir Colbert saw this and immediately reminded, "Lord Wolfe Cook!"

Countess Katis nodded: "Yes, it is Lord Wolfe Cook! Baron Soren, you have no objection to this arrangement!"

"No, no problem! Thank you, Lord Earl!" Soran thanked with a smile.

"Well! I'm glad you have no objection!" Countess Katis said with some warning, "However, Baron Soran, the construction of this new territory had better be as wonderful as you said. Otherwise, don't blame me for hiring the wrong people!"

"Don't worry, Lord Earl!" Soran said confidently.

Over there, Andre's face turned green as he watched them decide on the personnel of the new territory's internal affairs officer in just a few words!

But Countess Curtis had already made her decision and he couldn't change anything, so he could only sit there and sulk!

"My Lord Earl! I have another suggestion!" Sir Colbert continued.

"You say!" Countess Katis nodded.

"Although I have explored the islands of the Antilles, I cannot rule out the possibility that there are no high-level magical beasts. So I think it is still necessary to send a high-level knight and an army to guard them!"

"Besides, when the subjects arrive in the new territory, there will definitely be chaos, so it is best to send an army to maintain order and uphold public security!" Sir Colbert said solemnly.

When Sir Colbert said these words, Countess Curtis already knew what he meant!

Countess Katis has a total of three high-ranking knights under her command, two of whom have already led their troops to the southern border for support!

They also want to send one to the Antilles, so who else could it be except Sir Colbert!

But it is just as Sir Colbert said, the Antilles does need a high-ranking knight and an army to be stationed there, not only to guard against the possible existence of high-level magical beasts, but also against the ulterior motives of other people!

So Countess Curtis followed Sir Colbert's words and said: "In that case, Sir Colbert, lead an army to take charge of the new territory!"

"Yes! My Lord Earl! I will definitely protect the safety of the new territory!" Sir Colbert responded respectfully.

When everyone saw this, they cursed inwardly: Old fox!

Sir Colbert looked at Soran opposite him, and they smiled at each other!

I originally thought that there might be some difficulties to overcome if Woolf were to take up the position there!

Because those who will migrate there first will definitely be the citizens of Ganise City, and the officials who assist the internal affairs officer will also be officials of Ganise City!

But now with Sir Colbert as a backer who holds military power, things will be much easier!

After all, it was he who recommended Woolf, so he can always help out!

"My Lord Earl, I have an idea too!" Aldrich stood up and said, "Knight Mazelen just said that there is a large plain on the Sailing Island! Although it is already the end of the spring plowing season! But as far as I know, the climate at sea is warmer than that on the mainland!"

"So we need to work hard to reclaim the land as soon as possible. Maybe we can catch up with the end of the spring ploughing season and reclaim a large piece of arable land to alleviate the food problem!"

"Well! This is a good idea! The [Anglican Islands Immigration Plan] will be officially launched in two days, the sooner the better! I think everyone has no objection?" Countess Katis asked everyone.

"No objection!" everyone answered in unison.

Naturally, the sooner the better for them!

Although there are no changes in the battlefield in the south at present, there is no guarantee that the defense of the Kingdom of Midburg will be breached at any time!

So the sooner the better, they can't wait to move to the Antilles!

"My Lord Earl, there is actually another question!" A sturdy middle-aged man stood up and continued, "What if the Kingdom of Essex is unwilling to let us go and chases us all the way to the Antilles? After all, the Antilles are not far from the mainland!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought!

Because this possibility is indeed possible!

If we have ships that can reach the Antilles, then the Kingdom of Essex also has ships that can reach the Antilles!

Therefore, it is not impossible for the Kingdom of Essex to chase them to the Antilles and capture these rebels!

At this time, Soran stood up and said, "I have actually thought about this idea. We really cannot rule out this possibility!"

"But I haven't thought of a way to solve this problem once and for all!"

"But I can say a few defensive thoughts:

First of all, we must keep the secret to ourselves and not discuss this plan casually outside this meeting room, let alone tell our relatives and friends!

Then, after the [Angliss Immigration Plan] was officially launched, the port was directly blocked. No matter whether it was materials or people, except for the transport carriages, all were allowed to enter but not leave, or they were directly transported to the Antilles!

Few of us locals know about the existence of the Antilles, let alone the invaders from afar from the Kingdom of Essex!

Therefore, as long as we keep it a secret, the Kingdom of Essex won't be able to find out where we're going! At the very least, we can delay it for a while!"

"The second thing is to train the navy as soon as possible! The navy is the soldiers who can fight at sea. As long as our navy is strong enough, we will not be afraid of the Kingdom of Essex sending troops to attack us!"

"The third thing is to strengthen patrols and defenses! We must always send ships out for patrols around the Antilles Islands and be on guard against attacks from the Kingdom of Essex!"

After saying that, Sauron sat back and said nothing more!

Because this is the best method he can think of!

Upon hearing this, everyone could only nod in agreement!

After all, compared to directly becoming a [slave of a conquered nation], escaping to the Antilles is already the best way out!

Because if we escape to the Antilles, there might still be a chance of survival!

And even if the Kingdom of Essex does not intend to let them go and sends troops to attack, they will just have to surrender!

Anyway, I will become a slave of a conquered nation, so it makes no difference!

Countess Katis frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Plant, I remember your fighting spirit is of water attribute!"

"Yes! My Lord Earl!" The strong man called Plant answered respectfully.

Soran quietly used the power of the Arcane Eye, took a look at Plant, and found that his data was [80/85], the peak of the Brave Knight profession level.

At least a little stronger than the current Sauron!

So Countess Katis gave the order directly: "In that case, from today on, you will give up your job as the city guard of Ganise City. I appoint you as the first naval commander of the Earl of Katis. You will be responsible for establishing the first battalion commander of the navy of the Earl of Katis. We will start with the training based on the scale of one battalion and five squadrons! I want to see results as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"Yes! My Lord Earl!" Plant smiled happily!

The city guards of Ganise actually consist of two battalions with nearly a thousand people.

So judging from the number of commanders, it seems that Plant has surrendered!

But this career as a naval battalion commander is a career with a bright future!

Everyone knows how important the navy will play when moving to the Antilles!

It is definitely not an exaggeration to compare it with the current army!

Besides, how could the future navy consist of only 500 people!

But it is certain that it will definitely be expanded!

Also, who knows if Plant, who came up with this idea, had long wanted to form such an army suitable for naval warfare!

Maybe he had planned it long ago, so he brought it up on purpose!

So no wonder he is so happy!

"Brother Planck, I actually have some ideas about how to form a navy. Maybe we can talk about it after the meeting!" Soran seized the opportunity and directly extended an olive branch to Planck.

Plant naturally understood what Soran meant, and the navy was originally proposed by Soran, so when Soran said this, he naturally thought that what Soran said was true!

So Plant said happily: "Okay, Baron Soren, I will definitely ask you for more advice after the meeting!"

Everyone watched the two of them fighting back and forth, and they obviously realized that the internal war had already begun!

Because moving to the Antilles will inevitably affect the power structure among Countess Katis's subordinates!

So now, we have to find the right opportunity, find a backer or make allies!

Otherwise, how can we possibly compete with others when we are weak and alone?

Countess Katis also saw all of this, but she didn't say much!

As long as things are still under our control and do not affect the plan of migrating to the Antilles, that's fine!

After all, finding backers and making allies are normal interpersonal relationships. As long as they are not too excessive, those in higher positions can accept them!
