The Knight's Journey to the Empire

But unfortunately, Adam was unable to observe any change in expression on James' face.

Because James always had a smiling face, either resting with his eyes closed or looking indifferent, and he didn't even express any opinions.

This made Adam feel a little bit embarrassed!

So he could only turn his attention back to Kzerovinia, hoping that the other party could give him a satisfactory answer.

As for Kedigoya, he had wisely placed himself in a subordinate position.

Kzerovinia did not answer Adam's question directly. Instead, after taking a sip of tea, he asked, "Brother Adam, what will we get if we agree to your recruitment?"

This is an issue involving specific interests and must be clearly understood in advance. Otherwise, there is a high possibility that conflicts will arise between the two parties in the future.

Adam had obviously already thought of the answer to this question, so when Kzerovinia asked this question, he answered almost without hesitation:

"Soran once said that there are five islands in the Antilles with an area of ​​more than 1000 square kilometers."

"So, in addition to the [Sailing Island] that has already been put into development, the [Magellan Island] that Countess Katis bestowed on Solon, and the largest [Greater Antilles Island], we can definitely fight for one of the other two islands for you as a hereditary fiefdom."

Although Soran had not met Xerovinia and the others yet, Adam dared to make such a condition to them directly.

After all, with the other party's powerful strength, if they really go to the island, it would be easy to take a large island as their territory.

Moreover, it is not a relatively subordinate position like Soran, but a truly independent territory, with an equal status with Countess Katis.

There might be some difficulties with the subjects. After all, the subjects on the [Angliss Islands] have nothing to do with them.

And Countess Katis obviously would not be so stupid as to allocate part of her subjects to them so easily.

"What about the subjects? You know, a territory without subjects is no different from a wasteland. You can't let us develop the territory by ourselves!" Kzerovinia continued to ask.

"There are currently three thousand people from the White Bear Territory who have migrated to the [Angliss Islands]. I can make the decision directly on Soran's behalf and give half of them to you!" Adam said in a resounding voice.

"Moreover, Soran must also know the difficulties of migrating to an island to settle down, so in the future, he will definitely be able to find a way to obtain more subjects from the mainland."

Upon hearing this, Kzerovinia fell into deep thought.

To be honest, after listening to what Adam said, he felt that the plan proposed by Soran was pretty good and had great potential for success.

After all, there is already a powerful knight on the side of Countess Katis!

And if James, a pillar knight, was added, the army of the Kingdom of Essex would most likely not lead its troops to pursue the newly developed barren island land of the [Angliss Islands].

Therefore, after this period of time has passed and the unrest caused by the war is over, the situation in this area will return to stability again, and then the problem of insufficient number of subjects will be solved.

Then the prospect of this plan is undoubtedly very good, and the [Anglican Islands] may become a good development territory in the future.

Of course, this [Anglican Islands Immigration Plan] and fleeing to the Principality of Glia are actually similar to the Kzerovinia team.

Because since they chose to flee, it was equivalent to giving up the hereditary territory of the Marquis of Barbatos' family.

And with James' presence, they are already invincible.

Therefore, even if they choose to stay where they are, as long as they don't do anything excessive, the Essex Empire, as the victorious party, will most likely not be too harsh on them.

Some nobles would even choose a smaller fiefdom in order to win over James, the Knight of the Pillar, and re-enthrone them as hereditary nobles.

Even so, they still chose to flee the Kingdom of Midburg, mainly because of Marquis Barbatos.

The Kingdom of Midburg was conquered by the Kingdom of Essex, even though many weak nobles chose to surrender and kneel down to lick the enemy in order to have a chance to survive.

But there were also many upright nobles who chose to honor their oath of allegiance to the King when they inherited the title, and chose to fight to the death to defend their homes.

Among them, Marquis Barbatos was one of them, and he chose to resist to the end.

Therefore, Kzerovinia and his men fled to the Principality of Glia as a backup plan made by Marquis Barbatos in order to leave a way out and not let his descendants' bloodline be cut off.

Another reason is that James is not young anymore. He can protect these younger generations for a while, but not for a lifetime!

Therefore, if he stayed in the Kingdom of Midburg, perhaps no one would dare to act rashly while he is still alive.

But if he died in twenty or thirty years, I don’t know if anyone would come forward to seek revenge.

After thinking in silence for a long time, Kzerovinia said, "Adam, we need to discuss this carefully. Perhaps I cannot give you an answer now."

"Haha!" Ya said with a smile: "It's okay, Kzerovinia, you can think about it carefully at night, or even stay in White Bear Territory for a few more days. Think about it for a few more days, it's all fine!"

Kzerovinia nodded, satisfied with Adam's attitude.

Adam smiled and said, "It's getting late now, let's end our chat here!"

"I have just asked the servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Let's go eat now!"

As he spoke, Adam also stood up and sat down in an invited aristocratic etiquette.
