On the carriage.

When Vincent Ackerman stepped forward, the entire carriage sank, which showed his incredible weight.

As extraordinary knights, especially the third-level Berserker Knights, they are the bravest warriors on the entire battlefield.

What they do is forceful attacks and breaking through the formation, and the most important thing is the amazing physical strength.

What's more, Vincent Ackerman did not rely on his family to get to this point, but was a strong man who emerged from a sea of blood and corpses.

The Ackerman family does not practice the system of primogeniture, but rather respects strength, with the order of succession determined by combat power.

Vincent Ackerman is the sixth son of the family. He was sent to a ship to guard the family caravan all the way. It took him ten years to hone his third-level strength.

Bowing slightly, Vincent said, "My Lord Earl, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, sit down and talk. I want to hear your knowledge about the flower collar."

As soon as Vincent walked down, he said in confusion: "My Lord Earl, you should ask Lord Regan about this matter. He must know more than me."

"I will naturally ask him, but I want to know the full range of his knowledge.

So, you just need to tell us what you know, especially about the armed forces in the territory."

Vincent thought for a moment and said, “Then I will talk about the strongest Lion Knights in the territory.

This is the Knights Order that the Raymond family has put all their efforts into building. Needless to say, their strength is great, and their mounts are..."

After a moment, Luo Yi asked again: "Also, what do you know about magic energy machinery?"

"Well, I don't know much about this, but I heard that..."

"So what do you think of magic machinery?"

"..."

Vincent Ackerman is actually a very shrewd knight, at least he has more political vision than ordinary knights.

He answered very cautiously, as if he was afraid of saying something he shouldn't, but under Luo Yi's guidance, he also told some truths and his inner thoughts.

An hour later, the second person came in, Alan Wells.

Although this person is very silent and not very eloquent, he is quite honest and dares to speak out.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the magical machinery, believing that it was a disruption of order and the reason why Flower Territory fell into chaos.

An hour later, Roy called Regan Durant again.

This person is worthy of his background as a butler. The information he said is not only detailed and comprehensive, but also supported by a lot of internal data, making it the most convincing.

The time spent communicating with him was the longest, a whole afternoon, and the two of us were communicating in the carriage.

Although Luo Yi did not take out paper and pen to record, Deep Blue was turned on throughout the process, extracting enough information and summarizing it one by one.

In addition to the records in the books, the letters sent by Hoover’s housekeeper, and the gains from various channels...

Finally, Luo Yi had enough knowledge about the flower territory called "Lion King Territory".

The Flower Territory is located in the northwest of the Norman Duchy. The territory includes both sides of the Ruhr River and some tributaries of the Ruhr River. It covers an area of about 3000 square kilometers and has a population of over one million.

Although it is the title of Earl, in terms of territory and population, it is definitely not inferior to the four marquises.

But the most important thing is the geographical location of Xianhualing!
There are two major mountain ranges in the Old World. One is the continuous Monster Mountain Range that runs from north to south.

One is the dome-shaped mountain range that runs east-west and divides the snow-covered plateau.

The north of Flower Territory is the end of the Dome Mountains, extending to the border of the Silver Sea.

It is said that it went directly into the Silver Sea, forming a huge gully on the seabed.

The islands on the Silver Sea are all places where mountains protrude.

Of course, this is just the opinion of some scholars, and no one knows the specific situation.

However, you cannot deny that this dome-shaped mountain range completely blocks the cold current coming south from the snowy areas in the far north.

This world does have extraordinary things, and flying is not something that is impossible.

If you fly high enough in the sky in winter and look down, you can find that to the north of the mountains, the cold air turns into white clouds and extends to the end of your vision.

But on the south side of the mountains, there are no clouds in the sky, the air is clear, the sun is shining, and there are green fields everywhere.

In terms of longitude and latitude, Flower Territory is definitely in the north of the Habsburg Empire, but in terms of temperature, it is much warmer than Auckland City.

It is because of the blocking effect of these mountains against cold currents!

Coupled with the Ruhr River, which flows directly into the Silver Sea, and its tributaries, this area is excellent.

The temperature is suitable, the four seasons are like spring, the rainfall is abundant, and there are many rivers...

Under these conditions, all the reclaimed land can become fertile farmland, and at least two crops of grain can be harvested each year.

The west side faces the sea, and although it is undulating, there are many places suitable for building excellent ports.

During the Age of Discovery, the Raymond family took advantage of the port's convenience to reap the dividends of the era.

The Lion King's fleet at sea is also extremely famous, and has brought huge wealth to the Raymond family.

According to Lord Regan, one-third of the Raymond family's annual wealth income comes from here.

In addition, there are many mineral deposits in the mountains in the north. Many iron mines have been discovered, as well as copper and silver mines.

The only thing that made successive Earls Raymond dissatisfied was that they failed to discover the real gold mine, which was somewhat regrettable!
Of course, when people say this, most of the time they are trying to show off.

Also because of the suitable climate, there are many kinds of flowers here, and they are everywhere.

The Raymond family developed the perfume industry in accordance with local conditions and achieved great success, with its products being exported to various countries in the Old Continent and even overseas.

The name of Flower Collar was first given by others, and gradually it was recognized and then taken up by the lion king of a certain generation.

There is even a poem that goes like this: The lion king patrols his territory full of flowers, driving away every evil wolf that dares to covet it.

Of course, this territory did not belong to Raymond from the beginning. In fact, Luo Yi read from ancient books that this area was actually the territory of the Winged People in ancient times.

The Winged Man is worshipped by many believers because his image is similar to the angels in the scriptures.

In ancient times, the Winged People were very powerful and occupied the most fertile land. However, as the human race rose to power, they were killed and driven away.

The original territory of the Raymond family was not here before, but some ancestors saw the excellence of this place and kept exchanging territories for it.

Gradually, it has reached its current scale!
It even caught up with the wave of the great voyages, so that the Raymond family was passed down for a full thousand years.

The nobles of the Old World naturally have a long history, and there are many whose bloodlines can be traced back to ancient times.

However, in the process of inheritance, ups and downs, prosperity and decline are also normal.

After a decline, it is often the case that a branch of a family rises again and inherits the glory of its ancestors, which is considered a resurgence.

This is the norm, but the Raymond family is different.

The so-called thousand-year inheritance means that the main vein has been continued for these thousand years and has been managing this territory without interruption.

That is why the Millennium Earl Family is the pride of the entire Flower Territory.

Even the four marquises and the Norman family are inferior in terms of background and reputation.

The people of this territory have a deep-seated recognition of Earl Raymond.

This is also the reason why the four major marquis families never thought of occupying it by force, and had to disintegrate it through the Council of Noble Elders.

They were also afraid of sparking a civil war, which would cause the Raymond family to unite again.

However, the Flower Collar is now in complete chaos.

Luo Yi summarized it and said that the first reason was that there was no leader and many factions.

The vassals and knights were divided into several factions, competing with each other for power and voice.

This can be seen from the fact that there are three heirs who have been promoted from within the territory.

To show Roy, Regan Durant belonged to the political faction and controlled the family's business and wealth channels.

Vincent Ackerman is considered a force of force, a die-hard fan of the Raymond family, and the most powerful one.

As for Alan Wells, he also belongs to the militant faction and a diehard faction. He is the one who is most opposed to magical machinery.

Separation of powers!

Three-way balance!

Before, with Count Carl Raymond around, he was able to maintain a good balance, grasp the overall situation, and command from his heart, and no one dared to act rashly!

Count Karl Raymond has such a high prestige that he can "hard push" the magic machinery and still proceed. This is the fundamental reason.

In Luo Yi's words: He is very good at the art of ruling!
But now, they have all become a disaster.

Especially without the pressure from the upper nobles, conflicts broke out among the lower nobles, and many territories, large and small, fought each other.

Secondly, it is all due to the promotion of magic machinery.

After thinking more, Roy gradually understood some of Count Carl Raymond's ideas.

He knew the disadvantages of "hard pushing", but after careful consideration, he still did it.

Because he is prepared to carry out the most thorough transformation at the fastest speed and with the toughest attitude.

The pain in the middle is inevitable, but as long as the speed is fast enough, it will not cause irreversible consequences.

Once everything is on the right track, he sees the benefits and makes huge profits, he can use many means to appease his vassals and knights.

It’s a pity that the idea was good and not impossible, but halfway through, the Raymond family disappeared.

Then, the original order was broken and the new order could not be established. The people in the territory were confused and they didn't even know what to do.

Chaos ensues!

Going back a hundred years, the flower collar was at its most chaotic at this time.

The nobles were fighting each other to settle old grudges.

The people lost their source of livelihood, and many of them had to become bandits, committing murder and arson.

Seeing the chaos in Flower Territory, many nobles around were eager to take a piece of the pie.

Even the pirates overseas seemed to sense the lion's weakness and began to connect and assemble, trying to grab the last wave of damage.

And this is the current situation that Luo Yi has to face.

Really, the more he knows, the more headache Luo Yi has!

However, after having a comprehensive understanding, he issued it without hesitation, as Count Raymond's first order.

"Vincent Ackerman."

"Alan Wells."

"Lord Regan."

"Since you are willing to acknowledge me as the new Count Raymond, then go ahead!

Go and convey my will to every noble, every vassal, and every knight in the Flower Territory."

"Tell them that the new Lion King is calling and waiting for their audience!"

"Or, surrender to the lion king!"

"Or, I grant them the right to die!"
