Chapter 77: Take an independent path of development

Putting the letter away, Brian asked the servant to call Hilton House.

Because Brian is going to take Hilton House to the royal capital and ask Aunt Lina to make him the Knight of Lansburg.

So Hilton House did not return to Phoenix Town with his father, Mayor House, but stayed in Lanesburg.

When Hilton House came to the restaurant, he immediately gave Brian a knighthood, just like a primary school student meeting his homeroom teacher, even though he was not a knight yet.

Brian said to Hilton House and Victor with a smile.

"I may go to Count De Guzman's territory in two days. You two will go with me. After I have taken care of some things, I will go directly to the royal capital to finalize the transfer of the territory."

Both of them nodded in agreement and wanted to go back to prepare, but Brian stopped them again and said solemnly to Hilton House.

"Hilton, you already have the strength of a middle-level knight, and you will become the knight lord of Lesburg. I plan to set up a hundred-man cavalry team and decide that you will be the leader. The treatment will be the same as the Horton knights."

Brian did not forget that he still had 500 horses in his hands and kept them in the cavalry camp of the castle.

Since Duke Horsman did not say in his letter that he wanted to take the horses and equipment back, then it would be better to stay in Landsburg.

With the recovery of Lansburgh's strength, Brian should also have a cavalry squad of his own.

Brian wanted to build a cavalry team of his own for a long time. After all, the 300 black-armored cavalry currently stationed in Landsburg are loyal to the Horsman family, not to him. Brian Howman

Sman's.

However, due to the weak strength of the territory, Brian's money has been used to restore production. Now that Brian has obtained a barony and can support a cavalry team of about 100 people, it should not be a problem.

Besides, he still has 500 of the hardest-to-get war horses.

Even if he needs to return it to the Horsman family later, it is not a big problem if he leaves a 100 war horse and replaces it with an ordinary horse.

Brian decided to make Hilton House captain of the cavalry.

The main purpose is to balance the factions under his command. Although Brian's team only has a small number of people, although the sparrows are small, they have all the internal organs. The difference can be seen from the different names they call themselves.

Those called Lords were local knights recruited by Brian after he came to Lansburg, while those called Young Master were all followed or introduced by Duke Horsman.

In terms of closeness and distance, Brian is definitely closer to the person called Young Master. After all, people like Butler Carl have watched Brian grow up.

Sean Black is also Brian's friend growing up.

Brian also trusted them the most, but the most important thing about power was balance. Even if he was just the heir to a viscounty, he still had to lay a good foundation.

For every person who calls him Master, there must be another person who calls him Lord, to maintain his authority and reduce the influence of the Horsman family on him.

Just like Brian gave the position of captain of the guard to Horton Knight, turning the original captain of the guard, Sean Black, into Horton Knight's deputy.

Now that Victor has become the military commander of Lansburg and controls the Second Sons, a local noble is needed to become the new cavalry captain.

Although Bryan's foreign policy is peaceful coexistence, insisting on independence is also the basic principle of Bryan's peaceful foreign policy.

To put it bluntly, the Horsman family can take advantage, but it is impossible to be completely dependent on the Horsman family and become the family's puppet.

Brian may not even listen to his own father, let alone the old guys in the family.

Now that Duke Horsman is protecting Brian, the Duchess dares to provoke Brian. It is really hard to say what will happen to Brian's territory when Duke Horsman is gone.

Don't forget that Brian still owes his family 180,000 gold coins. The land snatched from Count Merovingian is Brian's spoils of war, but it can also be said that it was bought with 180,000 gold coins.

If Brian couldn't afford the 180,000 gold coins, could he still be armed to fight against the black-armored cavalry of the Horsman family?

After all, Brian is only the second son. Even if he is a noble family like the Horsman family, everything he gets now is already overwhelming.

If you want to get something from the family, other people in the family will not allow it.

Even if Ren, as the eldest brother, loves and protects Brian, the second brother, he will be restricted by his status as the heir and cannot do anything too outrageous.

Of course, the worst-case scenario of encountering the Horsman family is unlikely to happen.

Unless the old Duke Horsman and his eldest brother Renn Horsman died, the title of the Duke was not inherited by himself, but by the three children born to the Duchess.

This probability cannot be said to be impossible, but it is definitely lower than the probability of the Frankish Kingdom being destroyed by the orcs.

But if you continue to suck blood from Brian's territory to pay off debts, the probability of it happening is still quite high.

Brian had never paid off his car loan or house loan before traveling through time. He didn't expect to be saddled with such a huge debt now.

Brian only hoped that Duke Horsman could live a long life and try to delay this incident as long as possible.

When I become really rich, these 180,000 gold coins are just for one night's consumption and then returned to the family. Thinking about that scenario will make me happy.

Brian was still thinking here. Hilton House in front of him suddenly heard that he had been entrusted with an important task. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Two days ago, he was just an ordinary commoner with a little strength. He just fought a battle with the lord. As a result, he not only became a noble knight, but also became the cavalry general of Lansburg.

Even though there are only 100 people in this cavalry team, they are still important figures in Lesburg, at least much higher than his father, Mayor House.

Brian comforted the excited Hilton House, and at the same time inadvertently observed Victor's emotions. Victor's expression did not change much, and he was also congratulating Hilton House.

Victor had a good impression of Hilton House, who had been on the battlefield with him and performed bravely, and had no objection to Brian's decision.

After all, Victor was just a pure soldier. Although he had led mercenaries for a period of time, his political literacy was not high and he did not realize the deeper meaning of Brian's move.

I simply think that Hilton House is very suitable for the position of cavalry captain.

Victor's reaction made Brian very happy. Although Brian wanted his team's personnel to be more balanced, he also didn't like internal fighting among his subordinates.
