None of these nobles in the entire banquet hall were fools, and the meaning of the news that Princess Lydia had just announced was clear in their hearts!

This means that the current ruler of the Canaan Empire, Canaan 112, is likely to establish the prince of the empire after this war against the 100,000 mountains, and the person who sits on the throne of the prince is likely to appear among the eldest prince, the second prince, the third princess, the fourth prince, and the seventh prince who have been authorized by His Majesty the Emperor to recruit soldiers to participate in this war.

And Princess Lydiana's intention to tell the news at this banquet held by herself is also obvious; Although the current ruler of the Canaan Empire, Canaan 112, agreed to let her recruit soldiers to fight the war against the 100,000 mountains, the amount of gold required to build an army was astronomical, and it was definitely not something that a single prince or daughter of the Canaan Empire could afford.

So if Princess Lydia wants to raise an army, she must gather a group of noble followers with a certain number of nobles, as for why noble followers? Because in this war-based world, as long as you become a nobleman and have a little bit of family background, then these nobles' subordinates definitely have a group of private soldiers with decent equipment and training, ready to accept the war call of the empire at any time, and then use these private soldiers to earn war merit for their family to improve their family's title.

Although the number of these private soldiers in the hands of each noble family may not be very large, but after a large number of nobles gather private soldiers, the number is still considerable, and even those nobles who have weak family backgrounds and do not have their own private soldiers are like a noble family like Baron Nelson, as long as it is not the kind of family that has just obtained the title, it actually has good combat power.

As for why these aristocratic families without private soldiers also have good combat power? Because in this world where war is the main theme, these nobles will receive a certain amount of swordsmanship and combat training since childhood, although it is impossible to compare with the veterans who have fought on the battlefield, but they are definitely much stronger than those newly recruited recruits.

And as long as these nobles have children to inherit their titles, they can fight for their lives for the promotion of their family titles, and more importantly, although these nobles have no way to raise their own private soldiers, it is more than enough to equip themselves with a good pair of weapons and armor. Excellent armor, coupled with a certain amount of training, made it possible for these nobles to be used as a backbone.

Therefore, as long as Lydia can successfully get the support of a certain number of nobles, she can raise an army in a short period of time to participate in this war against 100,000 mountains, earn her own military exploits, and make great strides towards the position of prince.

But it is doomed that Lydia wants to successfully recruit enough followers at this banquet, because these nobles present are not stupid, they know that this is going to start taking sides, once you participate in the legion formed by Princess Lydiana, it means that you stand on Princess Lydiana's political position and support Lydia to inherit the throne and become the prince, and once Lydia does not sit on the throne, then they will face the suppression of the future emperor, Therefore, although the whole banquet hall was extremely noisy, no one jumped out to say that he would join the legion that Princess Lydiana was planning to build.

And Lydia had long anticipated this situation with her own brainchild, Viscount Matilda, so when the situation was about to cool down, Viscount Matilda, who had been hiding in a corner of the banquet hall, glanced at some nobles in the banquet hall who had been found by him early in the morning and had agreed to join Princess Lydiana's camp after talking.

Then, under the command of Viscount Matilda's eyes, a voice suddenly came from the banquet hall, "I! Eddie Warner is willing to join Princess Lydiana's legion you have formed! This abrupt voice successfully attracted everyone's attention, instantly quieted the entire banquet hall, and looked at the location where the voice came from.

Following the direction of the voice, the nobles in the entire banquet hall saw a young nobleman with short blond hair, "It's Viscount Eddie." Some people who knew the young nobleman spoke of Eddie Werner's title.

And Eddie Werner, after finding that everyone's eyes were attracted to him, straightened out his originally straight aristocratic clothes, and then strode in front of Lytiana, then knelt down on one knee, clenched his right hand into a fist on his left chest, and said: "Dear Princess Lytiana, I, Viscount Eddie Werner, voluntarily allegiance to Princess Lytiana, voluntarily join the legion you have formed, and fight for you!" ”

Princess Lydia, who had long known that this would happen and had already discussed with Viscount Matilda, did not panic at all, but took the knight's sword from the hand of the waiter who had been waiting for a long time and said to Viscount Eddie Werner, who was kneeling on one knee in front of her and swearing allegiance: "I accept your allegiance to His Excellency Viscount Eddie Werner, but your sword is not for me, but for the Empire." After saying that, he tapped the knight's sword in his hand on Eddie Werner's shoulder and said, "The oath has been completed, rise up and take my dear Lord Eddie Werner"

"As you order, Princess Lytiana."

At this time, the nobles in the banquet hall looked at Viscount Eddie Werner, who had completed the oath of allegiance and stood up, thinking that this oath had passed and was about to hypocritically congratulate Princess Lydiana and Viscount Eddie Werner, and a hearty laughter attracted everyone's attention again.

I saw where a strong man was standing in the place where this hearty laughter came, "Hahaha...... I didn't expect me to go to the toilet Eddie, you have already completed your allegiance, it seems that I can't lag behind! After speaking, she quickly came to Lytiana, repeated the same action as Eddie Werner, and swore an oath: "I, Baron Raul Kirk, voluntarily pledge allegiance to ......."

Just as Baron Flor Kirk was taking the oath of allegiance, suddenly several young and experienced nobles rushed in front of Lytiana, who also knelt down on one knee and said, "I...... Volunteer your allegiance to Princess Lytiana, join the legion you have formed, and fight for you! ”

"I accept your allegiance."

And after these nobles took the oath at the same time, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the entire banquet hall kept popping up "I...... Volunteer your allegiance to Princess Lytiana, join the legion you have formed, and fight for you! The voice made every nobleman present except for the nobles who had already been discussed by Viscount Matilda be shocked by the oath scene......
