After the Black Python City was captured, the takeover work was handed over to the three leaders of the Knights Templar: Melonica, Kabir and Sandro.

The knight teams under other nobles will also help search for suspicious characters, after all, the threat of Mephisto is still there.

Grandfather and grandson Lulans and Luo Ning strolled around the castle, discussing the distribution of military merits after the war.

Looking back on the whole, the war did not last long and the consumption was not as great as imagined.

Although the nobles who came to help suffered losses, they were not too much.

What's more, the main force came from the three knightly groups of Wushan Castle, and the key to determining the outcome of the battle also lay in the credit of Roning and others.

Therefore, this time, Lulans planned to give rewards such as money or resources to the coalition of nobles, and he needed to focus on rewarding the people in the three knight orders.

For the time being, only Kabir has been knighted. After all, Sandro is already a viscount, and Melonica has only recently become a baron.

Although he would not promote them to higher titles, Lulans would slightly expand the scope of their territory.

For example, Melonica could allocate some of the territory of Earl Hyde near Wushan Town to him as his territory.

In addition to the leader, he will also select several people with good performance in the Knights Templar and appoint them as honorary knights, which is also what many people pursue.

As for Luo Ning, he must be treated specially, because he is the grandson that Lu Lans has high hopes for.

"Your Wubei Territory is big enough, and you also have Giant Stone City and Red Mountain Town as your territories. Shore City is also guarded by your knights. If I give you Earl Hyde Territory, it would be a bit inappropriate."

Luo Ning couldn't help but smile. It was indeed not appropriate. If he continued to give it away like this, his territory would occupy one third of Wushan Territory, which was larger than the land directly governed by Wushan Fort.

"Although I won't give you the earldom, I will still give you a piece of land."

Luo Ning was stunned. "If you really want to give me land, which piece?"

Lu Lansi said: "Purple Thunder Collar, its former owner was 'Tini Purple Thunder'. You may know this person. He is Barrington's father-in-law."

Roning nodded. Both Tiny and Barrington died on the battlefield outside the Brilliant City. Now this territory should be inherited by his son.

However, since Orson committed such a serious crime, he would be deprived of his territory, and his vassals would naturally lose their land as well.

"The Hyde Earldom is not only the third largest grain producer in Wushan Territory, but also has a horse supply comparable to that of the Horse Herding City. Although most of them are controlled by the Hyde family, as the only viscount territory under Orson, the Purple Thunder family also has a lot of horses and grain in its territory."

Luo Ning's eyes lit up.

Horses are strategic resources, and he will need a lot of them to form a knight squad and a knight group later.

Although he has enough money to buy it now, how can it be as convenient as producing it himself?

"In addition to food and horses, Purple Thunder Territory also has a large number of people. Although it does not reach 100,000, as far as I know, it should be 70,000 to 80,000. Moreover, this war is far away from Purple Thunder Territory. Apart from the losses of the team led by Tini, there should be no other losses."

Horses, food, and people, these three are the resources that Ronin needs. It is obvious that Lu Lans gave Zi Lei to him after careful consideration.

Although the old man has recovered, it can be seen that his focus on resources towards Roning has not changed.

Luo Ning couldn't help but said sincerely: "Grandpa, you are so kind!"

"Hahaha~"

Lu Lansi stroked his beard and laughed, "I haven't finished speaking yet, don't be too happy too soon."

"Uh?"

Luo Ning scratched his head, "What else?"

"The geographical location of Purple Thunder Territory is not very good."

Rulans walked to the side, picked up a branch, and began to draw on the ground. "Its left side faces the Earldom, and its right side is backed by the Black Pine Mountains. Like the Wushan Mountains, this mountain range separates the Wushan Territory and the Principality of Vera."

He used branches to simply draw the diagonal line of the mountain range, and then drew a circle at the southernmost end of the mountain range.

"It is located at the bottom of the mountain range, and this road in the south leads directly to the Principality of Vera."

Luo Ning was stunned.

He thought that the "bad location" that Lulans mentioned was because of the Black Pine Mountains. If that was the case, he would not be afraid.

But it was only after hearing the last sentence that he understood.

The reason the other party gave for the bad location came from the Duchy of Vera, Zilei Territory’s neighbor.

When Orson was around, he and Andrea were friends and the relationship between the two sides was relatively harmonious, so Tiny naturally didn't have to worry about the threat from the Principality of Vera.

But now it’s different. The hatred between the Wushan family and the Vera family is not small.

"In other words, if I become the lord of Purple Thunder Territory, I will be invaded by the Principality of Vera?"

Lu Lan Si shook his head. "He won't openly invade you, but he might do some despicable things. For example, there will be thieves harassing you at the border. Haven't they been doing this all these years?"

"understood."

Roning held his chin and thought. After taking over the Purple Thunder Territory, he was thinking, should he arrange for Redar or McKen to come over?

Since it is one's own territory, the guards must naturally be one's own people.

Although he is the leader of the Fifth Knight Order, he cannot use the official vehicle for personal purposes.

Therefore, if Redal is transferred here, the Knights will still need to stay in Shore City.

"The Stone Territory is in the hinterland, so there is no risk. Joffrey is also organizing a team of knights, so it would be appropriate to let him take charge."

After some thought, Roning decided to let McKen come over.

McKen is now also a mid-level knight of Silver Moon. This strength is at the top level and is enough to protect the Purple Thunder Territory.

"Why, you don't dare to take over?" Lu Lans asked with a smile.

Luo Ning came back to his senses, "Haha, Grandpa, you are really a joker. As long as you dare to give it to me, I will dare to take it. I will not despise the small territory!"

"That's not a small tone!"

Lu Lans laughed and scolded: “However, your strength is worthy of such words.”

Looking at the entire Wushan Territory, Zilei Territory will only be safe if it is handed over to Luo Ning, and the chaos on the border will be reduced.

"You have too few knights under your command."

He said, "We have to hurry up and build it. At the beginning, you don't have to carefully select the knights who join. They just need to obey your orders. Equip them with combat power, and then test their backgrounds and conduct to eliminate those who are not suitable."

"I've already asked someone to set it up!"

The formation work has been ongoing, and to be honest, he is not quite sure about the number of knight teams now.

"By the way, Grandpa, there is something I need to tell you."

Lu Lans turned his head and looked at Luo Ning. Since the other party took the initiative to bring it up, it should not be a trivial matter.

"Diane came to me and hoped that we could give the Hyde family a chance to live. I remember that Barrington's son and daughter are still in the Extraordinary Academy in Wushan Town. How about letting them go?"

It was unfortunate for the siblings, as they escaped the fate of being transformed by Mephisto in Wushan Town;

It's unfortunate, from now on I'm no longer a noble, and I've lost almost all of my family members.

Lu Lans smiled slightly, he thought it would be something else.

"You killed Barrington. Aren't you afraid that they will seek revenge on you in the future?"

Roning shrugged. If he gave them some time, they would not be able to catch up with his strength, and there would be no way for him to take revenge.

"Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will make appropriate arrangements for them."

Lu Lans thought of Diane, whose recent performance was satisfactory.

After all, the Hyde family is Diane's family, so he still needs to give his daughter-in-law some face.

He didn't expect that Roning would speak for Diane.

It seems that the relationship between members of the Wushan family is quite harmonious.

Thinking of this, Lu Lan Si smiled and patted Luo Ning's shoulder: "Okay, you've been tired recently, you can take a good rest for two days, and then prepare to receive the Purple Thunder Territory."
