257: Chapter 146, Rainbow Moon_2 257: Chapter 146, Rainbow Moon_2 Under such circumstances, the native nobles will certainly not act with us.
Just relying on us alone, even if all the nobles from both counties join forces, I am afraid we cannot gather an entire legion.”
Reminded Baron Katelai.
Despite the contradictions, at this point in time, we must still band together.
At least before being accepted by the native nobles, the Northern Nobility Alliance cannot collapse.
Without the warmth of unity, small lords who become rootless are hard-pressed to survive on the battlefield.
Once the thin paper window is pierced and the matter is exposed, Viscount West, who had serious reservations about this, has no choice but to face it.
Honestly speaking, deep down he feels a shred of regret.
Had he known earlier that the situation of the Northern Border would deteriorate so quickly, he would not have planned to weaken his “allies” in order to seize control.
“Even if we fail to gather a full legion, we must aspire to form one.
The military structure during war is not set in stone.
A small legion could only consist of a few thousand men, while a large one could have tens of thousands.
There isn’t a strict requirement, but the most commonly used structure is ten thousand men.
The native nobles of the Southeastern Province hold too deep a prejudice against us, which would be hard to change in a short time.
If we don’t want to be cannon fodder on the battlefield, we must strive for as much autonomy as possible.”
Viscount West stated unequivocally.
This was his final decision after deep thought.
Rather than mixing with others, it is stronger to stand alone.
Although the power of the Northern nobility has been weakened, there are still more than two thousand elite soldiers.
Add a few thousand serf soldiers, and you could form an independent army.
In terms of combat power, it may be lacking slightly, but at least some autonomy can be preserved.
The front line between the Alpha Kingdom and the Orc Empire stretches thousands of miles, making unified command very difficult.
Based on the actual situation, combat by geographical division is inevitable.
A few legions or up to dozens of legions makes up a battle zone.
On the battlefield, a legion commander is considered mid to high ranking.
At the very least, they can be part of important military meetings, able to voice their opinions.
When it comes to the power of speech in war, Viscount West is determined to secure the position of legion commander and will not concede anything.
To achieve this, he needs the full support of the Northern nobility.
While the assembly and training of native nobles in the Mountain Domain brings pressure, it also provides Viscount West with the opportunity to consolidate his own base.
…
Outside Bera City, a special convoy just entered the city and received a warm welcome from the townsfolk, including some nobles.
The people in the convoy have grown accustomed to this.
As the most famous singing group on the continent, the entertainment industry’s top idols, and the pinnacle of the idol industry, they’ve seen this scene many times.
In an era without much entertainment, music and stage plays are the most popular forms of amusement.
The Rainbow Moon Singer Group, an idol group traveling across different countries on the continent, has amassed countless fans since their debut.
To be able to trek across the continent without encountering external difficulties, the origins of the Rainbow Moon Singer Group mustn’t be small.
It is said that the founders are a few top strongmen on the continent.
Some singers in the group also have ambiguous relationships with many major nobles on the continent.
New romantic rumors surrounding the group never cease.
There are too many involved big shots, and so rarely does anyone dare to provoke the Rainbow Moon Singer Group.
Although there are many beautiful women, there’s also no need to invite unnecessary trouble for a few women.
“Miss, it appears you’re quite popular here?
A lot of noble talents are outside shouting your name.”
Upon hearing her maid’s words, Isabel in the luxury carriage, rolled her eyes.
As one of the headliners of the Rainbow Moon Singer Group, Isabelle is naturally no stranger to fan adoration.
This kind of scene happens almost every time they arrive at a place.
“What’s there to be excited about!
In the end, we are not from the same world.
No matter how infatuated they appear, they just want to play around.
Windsor, don’t take the words of these men seriously.
Their professed love is nothing more than lip service.”
Isabelle stated disdainfully.
However, an air of unwillingness in her brows betrayed her true inner thoughts.
The class system on the Continent of Aslante is rigid, and no matter how popular a singer is, her social status is not high.
Let alone marrying into a wealthy family, even the core children of intermediate aristocracy will not marry a singer.
It is not discrimination based on origin; the key is the lack of “marriageable value”.
Being some sort of well-known figure does not hold any value to major nobles.
Distressed nobles are willing to marry them, however, successful attempts are rare.
Even if there are those who ended up together, they are not out of love, but rather more out of necessity.
Primarily to please big shots, commonly known as – leftover-receivers.
To any renowned singer who has seen the world, their future is very uncertain.
They cannot enter a powerful family, but are also unwilling to just be mistresses.
This “unwilling heart” led Isabelle to secretly join a mysterious organization.
This time, the tour in the Alpha Kingdom was to carry out the organization’s mission.
Originally, she did not want to take on this difficult task, but the reward offered was simply too generous.
Isabelle doesn’t lack money.
As a source of wealth, a headliner’s status in the Rainbow Moon Singer Group is exceptionally high.
