"Eight aristocratic territories could have dropped after all? You've got five more left."

"Enough fighting, Master Ars. More than that, I've never heard of expanding my territory so much in a short period of time from that match"

"I guess. For that matter, it's going to be a question of whether we can manage it."

"Sure, you're right. What are you going to do with the territory you got?

"Um, do you want to reposition again? The survivors of the noblemen who were in the land they took will move to the city of Fontana, where they will transfer the territory of the three frontier uncle territories of Xyria, Burma and Ikes. We shall give two aristocratic territories at a time from this newly acquired territory. So, let's make the remaining two territories Graham territory of Lion."

"Can the Grahams get territory, too?

"Oh. Lion has also been Lord Garrod's fu since this year, hasn't he? Then you should be able to get the right territory. You'll be regarded as having a proven track record because you also commanded the army in this cut."

"If you're going to say that, isn't Master Ars the one? The Barca family is the most accomplished house in Fontana. Shouldn't that Barca family territory be increased and lukewarm?

"Hmm. I wonder what happened to the territory of Barca...... I don't really think I'm gonna complain about giving myself land."

"Certainly no one will say many things. but that's the problem with being as active as Master Ars and not getting a territory. You should be paid according to your work."

"Then I guess I'll get the Arborest district, which the Ikes have turned over and opened. There's plenty of water there, so rice making is going to go even further."

"I see. Originally the Arborest district was bisected between Ikes and Bales territories, so you get that. I get it. I'll submit it to the council as an agenda for other people to acknowledge."

"Oh, that would help, Lion"

There was a paragraph in the fight against the Northern Lords' Union, which began with Wagner's request for rescue.

Fontana succeeded in cutting off eight noble territories after pushing up the front line and marching on for even the stronghold of the aristocracy.

This may also have to do with the power of the new forces that we have put in this time, but I think the biggest one was the impact of the military reform that we have been carrying out for a long time.

In the common aristocracy, knights and squires gather the peasants to create a group, and command it to become an army.

However, the Fontana Army had grouped the conscripted soldiers into groups of five, combining them with platoons, squadrons, battalions, etc., and switching them to operate the army in a systematic manner.

In addition, the functions of soldiers and squadrons were operated together according to applications such as engineers, cavalry, telecommuters and reconnaissance soldiers, giving them the right magic to operate in a much more organized manner than in the past.

For this reason, Kyle and Lyon armies, which had no additional power, such as rock drops from airships and Atmos warriors, had also cut off their territory with a pleasant victory over northern nobility.

Well, the pleasant victory was also due to the loss of troops, including many knights, from those aristocrats in the match.

Anyway, this is how we succeeded in obtaining eight noble territories.

But there's also a problem.

Up to this point, the kingdom of Fontana was the seven noble territories of the Urk Arborest Carmas Lubich Hermes Boutica, beginning with the former Fontana territory.

That's what got eight noble territories in this fast forward.

We can't compare them in simple areas, but even in a big mess, the national territory will swell more than double.

The question arises as to whether such a thing can be maintained.

Besides, there are other beings that cannot be ignored more than we have dealt with this many aristocrats.

The Rheinzatz.

As a hegemonic nobleman, the Reinzatz family forms an alliance with the Doren royal family and has influence over the other nobles.

Originally, hegemonic aristocracy also serves to settle disputes when other aristocrats are attacked.

They do all sorts of things, like order you to strike your hands there over a dispute between nobles, or ask you to return the stronghold you took.

If so, it may also come out in this dispute between the Kingdom of Fontana and the Union of Northern Lords.

Or it will definitely come to pass.

Because the remaining aristocracy of the Northern League of Aristocrats cries to the Rheinzatz family.

This means that not only do we need to master and govern the newly acquired land, but we also need to be prepared for the Rheinzatz family.

I think this is quite a big deal.

So I decided to transfer the territory of the three houses in the status of Borderline Uncle, as I have done before.

The Xyrian family, led by Wagner, went from the former Hermes territory to two aristocratic territories in the southeast.

Elance of the Burmese family, who had entrusted the former Rubitch territory, to two aristocratic territories to the south.

Ghana of the Ikes family, which ruled half of the former Arborest territory, also turns its place into a southwestern noble territory.

And leave it to me to protect you when you have to place the Graham family in Rion to protect those backs.

This means that when the Rheinzatz family attacks, it is always necessary for the Borderline Uncle to respond first.

Instead, the territory has been increased to two aristocratic territories, and it is possible that it can be further increased since it will also be free to cut as before.

If you don't like that, you will also abandon your status as a borderline uncle and live as a nobleman belonging to Fontana.

but apparently I shook this story and Wagner, Elance and Ghana both agreed.

Thus, the kingdom of Fontana became so powerful that it had enough territory to compete with the great aristocracy, from what could be termed the northern independent region until then.
