Soon after reading the letter, Pompey put it down. He also got off one leg from the table and put it on the ground. He folded his hands and put them on the table, with a serious expression on his face.
Although his expression was serious and slightly serious, there was a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes.
"Old Sol, this guy has knight talent and terrible fighting intuition. He is one of the best knights at the top of the Pompeii family in the past generations. But in the end, his whole body is full of muscles. Unexpectedly, his son is very political and economical.
The mind is an out-and-out lord talent."
Although the blood relationship between Ston and Pompeii and Sol and Pompeii is relatively far away, even though he rarely went back to Pompeii after leaving the territory with his father.
Although he had a certain relationship with Old Sol, it would be a lie to say how close they were.
But despite this, his surname was also Pompeii. As a member of the Pompeii family, although he was not destined to be a lord, he saw that the Pompeii family could be strong.
Stone and Pompeii also felt extremely happy.
If we describe it, the Pompeii family is like the branches of the big tree, and they are the leaves of the big tree. Because there is the Pompeii family, they are also nobles and have the Pompeii surname.
The more powerful and prestigious the Pompeii family is, the more benefits they can enjoy outside the home. On the contrary, if the Pompeii family weakens, they may even be destroyed.
They become leaves without nutrients and will wither and turn yellow sooner or later.
Soon, Stun Pompeii decided to go back to Pompeii.
There are many considerations.
In the letter, Old Sol gave him the treatment as an intermediate knight, one hundred gold coins per month. Although this salary was less than that of a mercenary.
After all, mercenaries are a profession that licks blood on the edge of a knife. High risks mean high rewards.
But for the job of protecting the territory, one hundred gold coins per month for an intermediate knight is a truly high salary.
Old Sol did not treat him badly.
The second point is the evocation of the surname Pompeii.
The third point is that he is older now and has a young daughter.
Thinking of my little lolita, Stun and Pompeii, whose face is full of cold and hard lines, has a soft color.
The job of a mercenary is really too dangerous. It is better to go back to Pompeii, raise my daughter safely, and then watch her marry in peace and happiness.
Stan, Pompeii is a resolute man. After he made the decision, he immediately left the tent and found the deputy leader of the Saber-tooth Tiger Mercenary Group stationed here, a powerful knight with the strength of a high-level knight, and handled the matter.
resignation process.
The process was a bit unsmooth, but it was not because there was a conflict between the two parties. It was because the other party tried its best to retain him and promised to give Stone and Pompeo more reasonable wages.
Strong mid-level knights like Stun and Pompeii need to be won over in all aspects.
But Pompeii still left. He held his daughter in his arms, mounted his war horse, took his belongings, and a few gold coins he had saved for many years, and embarked on the journey back to Pompeii.
"The knights of Pompeii will eventually return to Pompeii."
Pompeii was riding on his horse and heard the words of his late father. Before his death, his father's order was to go back to Pompeii for burial.
So his father was buried in the family cemetery in Pompeii, and now he will return to Pompeii.
The only difference is that he wants to play for Pompeii.
Like Ston and Pompeii, there are many men with the surname Pompeii who returned to Pompeii with their families.
Although the Pompeii family is small, it still has some heritage.
………………
In the Kingdom of Prussia, the nobility existed as a powerful political force. Whether they were palace nobles or field nobles.
And knights are the armed forces of nobles.
The standard for measuring the military strength of a noble family is how many knights it has under its command. Of course, they are not those random knights, but loyal knights.
Just like Baron Barton's family, the total number of knights is more than one hundred.
It has been operated for hundreds of years. Many knights are inextricably connected with the Barton family and can guarantee their loyalty.
The knights themselves also use their own force and loyalty to their lord to prove themselves.
Every wandering knight longs to have a master who can entrust his life to prove his glory.
And as the Pompeii family's finances eased and even became sufficient, they began to recruit knights. Like a flame in the darkness, they attracted knights who were eager to prove themselves and came to Pompeii from all directions.
Wandering knights from the Pompeii family, the Sauron family and other six major families, plus the direct vassals of the Pompei family and people from the Iron Horse family.
A month later, a total of twelve knights came to Pompeii. After coming to Pompeii and signing an agreement with the lord, Sol, Pompeii, they became the knights guarding the Pompeii family.
These twelve knights, plus Old Sol, Magellan, Luther, and Shosua, make a total of sixteen knights from the Pompeii family.
Already possesses one-tenth of the number of knights of the Barton family.
In addition, some scholars also brought their families back. The reason why Old Saul recruited these scholars was because of Luther's plan.
Don't you want to build a town? To manage a town, in addition to military protection, you also need public officials.
All in all, the purpose of gathering family wandering knights and scholars back this time is to support the skeleton of a territory the size of a town.
After having a skeleton, it is natural to replenish flesh and blood.
This flesh and blood is the population.
Therefore, the Pompeii family held a meeting of lords in the conference room of the city hall. The huge conference room was full of people.
Old Sol sat in the lord's seat, and Luther and Pompey stood beside Old Sol.
The conference table is long, and there are people sitting on both sides of the conference table at the moment. The people on both sides are scholars on one side and knights on the other.
Sitting in the first seat of the knights is Stun Pompeii. Because of the strength of the intermediate knights, Stun Pompeii is one of the most powerful knights among the knights.
So he became a member of the Pompeii family, a knight commander.
Next is the Sheriff, Magellan of the Iron Horse family, and last is Luther's personal knight, Shushua.
The first scholar position is the mayor of Pompeii, Lelouch. The second is Luther's cultural teacher, scholar, teacher Joshua.
When these civil and military officials sat down, there were twenty or thirty people.
Luther glanced at it and felt a little excited and a little sense of accomplishment.
look.
Pompeii is growing.
What was the situation before? He was said to be a lord, but he was actually the village chief. There were two or three big cats and kittens in the territory, four knights, a scholar, teacher, and staff officer.
It's better now. At first glance, there are twenty or thirty people.
If we were the heirs of the village chief before, then we should be considered the heirs of the town chief now, right?
Well, even though he is still very young, he is growing up after all.
