The takeover of Lune was easier than Lyon had expected, and the pressure from Hampshire did not make the acquisition too difficult.

The Guardian of the North signed the agreement, which meant that Leon became the ruler of the three towns.

To his surprise, the Guardian of the North asked the king for a knighthood, and the original status of a member of the royal family plus three towns was enough to make Leon a marquis.

Leon was not happy with his kindness, once he was made a marquis, it was impossible to buy the territory later, and on the other hand, it limited Ravenwood's development.

"My lord, things have changed in Hampshire. "York came to the Executive Hall with new news.

Grant was originally the heir to Hampshire, but recently something has changed, and he has been stripped of some of his power in favor of his nephew.

"Do you know what's going on?" Leon puts Hampshire on the radar, and like Whitemisty City, they are Ravenwood's potential enemies.

"See for yourself. York handed over the information.

Grant was not originally the heir to the territory, and only ascended to the throne after the death of his eldest brother, but Schilling has never been so at ease with this son, although he has made him the heir, but at the same time he is raising his grandson, Matthew.

Grant has been ineffective in recent times, losing face during the spring hunt, and the negotiations with Fury ended in failure, and preventing the territory transaction had no effect, which made Schilling quite dissatisfied, a territory heir, especially a big force like Hampshire, if a person with insufficient ability inherited the territory, how should the family inheritance be kept?

"Grant is still the heir. "Lyons closed the information, the situation in Hampshire is relatively stable, if the heir changes, it will cause a turmoil, Fury was the best example before, according to Grant's temper, he will definitely not be willing to give up his position.

"Whatever happens to Hampshire, it's good for us. "York sees this as an opportunity, Hampshire has shown signs of union with White Mist City before, and now Grant's mind will be on the territory, and he will not have the energy to suppress Ravenwood for a while.

"I'm not worried about Grant, that Schilling is the hardest to deal with. "Leon has been in contact with Grant many times, and knows this man well, and he has a hot temper and impulsiveness, and lacks enough patience and strategy, and if he were the lord, Ravenwood would be better off.

However, Schilling, the lord of Hampshire, did not rush out when the reputation and interests of the territory were damaged, but let Grant do whatever he wanted, if he was either stupid, or he was preparing a bigger plan.

Based on the feud between Shirin and the guardian of the North, he was sure that Shirin was not a simple man, and at least until now, he could not figure out what the lord was thinking.

"There's a conflict between Hampshire and Herrim City, and Fury will be keeping an eye on him, so let's focus on White Mist City first. "Leon didn't dare to relax a little, White Mist City suffered a loss last time, and then the Northern Guardian came forward to quell the war, but these are superficial phenomena.

"The situation in White Mist City is a bit complicated right now. "York reported the news he had gotten earlier.

When Leon went to Runetown, a major event occurred in the White Mist City, and the Earl's family was divided, and the Count advocated immediate revenge against Ravenwood, while the older generation, led by Hucanofy, insisted on resolving the conflict.

Payne is the earl, the titular ruler, but the power of the family is scattered among the members of the council, and Payne's attempt to attack Ravenwood was stopped, and with the influence of the guardian of the north, the war cannot be ignited.

Penn is here to go?

It was not so easy, he had already rallied the forces in his family who supported him and was ready to seize power, and Hucanofy also stood up and advocated the abolition of Payne's title and the establishment of a new heir.

Affected by this power struggle, the overall business of White Mist City declined, and some nobles and wealthy people fled from White Mist City to avoid being affected by the war.

Leon shook his head, civil strife is often more terrible than foreign wars, and no matter which side wins, it is his own people who are injured.

"At first, there were rumors, but then things got better. York continued.

Payne and the others are still sensible, the seizure of power is carried out on the bright side, no troops are sent to fight, no poisoning and assassination, White Mist City has passed a few days of panic, and business and so on are slowly recovering, but the nobles and rich people have a wait-and-see attitude, and will not return until the situation is stable.

"Neither side will give up. Leon thought for a moment, after more than a hundred years of development and consolidation, the Earl family has formed a system in order to limit individual power, and it is not easy for anyone to hold power, and the stalemate between them will continue.

"It could last for months. "York would love to see that.

'This is a rare opportunity and we have to take it. Lyon was immediately motivated and planned to take this precious time to take the town to a higher level.

"The townspeople of Lune can't move over in a short time, and now the craftsmen are still working on the previous project, and it will take at least three months to provide a house for 13,000 people. "York had a problem, there were only about 300 craftsmen in the whole of Ravenwood, and they could not complete it in a short period of time, so they had to move young laborers to fill the gap, and then gradually move the whole population.

"The migration of the population can be done slowly, but military training must be implemented as soon as possible. Leon instructed that the purpose of his purchase of Rune was to gain a large population and increase the number of soldiers, and now that Ravenwood could not accommodate so many people, he had to form an army in Rune Town first.

"Who are you going to send there?" York knew that he couldn't get out, Haul was still in charge of the cavalry, and Asda and the others had their own priorities.

"What do you think of Mormont?" asked Leon, a somewhat risky decision, given that he had not been in the town for long.

"He's a Knight of the West, and he's a reliable man, so it's feasible to put him in charge of Rune, but ......" York still has something to worry about.

"Say it. Leon consulted with him to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"It didn't take long for him to get a position like this in the town, which could cause criticism. York was worried that some people in the army would not be satisfied, there were more than a dozen guards who followed Leon to the town, only four of them were knights, and the rest are still at the grassroots level of the army.

Training the army alone in a different place, in addition to his own martial arts, he also has a certain amount of mind to deal with various events, and Leon is in a situation where he is not enough people.

"You go with him and wait until the army is starting to take shape before you return. "Leon didn't have time to prove Mormont's credentials to the crowd, and with York taking the lead, Mormont assisting, making it impossible for anyone in the army to find fault.
