Tom met Ronin on the way to the inner castle.

"Sir, my subordinates have brought back all the horses you purchased in Horse Wrangling City."

Ronin nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. Just inform Chahar later and leave the rest to him. I just saw the two knights Rogner and Kurami on the tower. How could they do this?" Follow you to Swamp Town?"

"This subordinate is about to report to you."

Tom said: "When I went to the racecourse to take away the horses, Rogner saw that I was the only professional knight in the team, so he took Kurami to escort me back. At the same time, they also wanted to take the opportunity to visit Swamp Town."

He added: "Although the two knights Rognar and Kurami do like to travel, I feel that they should have other things to do when they visit you."

Luo Ning thought about it, but couldn't figure out the reason. Maybe the two of them really just came to Swamp Town to have fun.

"Let's go and meet them together."

If other people come to visit, Luo Ning usually won't go out to greet them.

However, he had a very good impression of Rogner and Kurami. In addition, he had been taken care of by Viscount Marvin many times, so it was reasonable to go out to greet them.

"Long time no see, Rogerna, Kurami."

Ronin walked out of the castle with a smile and greeted warmly.

"Long time no see, Lord Viscount!"

In fact, it wasn't just Rogna and Kurami who came. Luo Ning also saw eight or nine unfamiliar faces. Judging from their clothes, they looked more like retinue knights.

Rogner also introduced at this time: "This is Grado Harter. His father is Knight Sori, captain of the fourth knight squad of Iron Shoe Castle."

Luo Ning met Knight Sori at a banquet in Muma City. The knight had peak bronze level strength and was one step away from becoming a Silver Knight.

In addition, he also danced a few dances with Jenny Hartle, and Viscount Marvin asked Ronin how the girl was doing.

"Welcome to Swamp Town, Knight Grado."

Luo Ning smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the other person's hand, then looked at the nine unfamiliar faces behind the three of them, "Are these?"

Rogner smiled and said, "Those are our accompanying retinues and servants."

Luo Ning nodded slightly, but felt a little surprised.

The other party not only brought Grado, a stranger, but also brought his followers and servants to Swamp Town. Is he planning to stay here permanently?
Rogner seemed to know Ronin's doubts. He, Kurami and Grado looked at each other, and the three of them knelt down on one knee in unison.

This sudden scene startled Luo Ning, "What are you doing?"

"Lord Luo Ning, please allow us to follow you, become your knights, fight for your glory, and fight for your territory!"

This……

Luo Ning had always thought that his mind was more active, but when faced with a scene like this, he was still a little dazed.

He had just guessed whether these people came with some needs from Viscount Marvin, but he never expected that these three people came to follow him.

Not only was he shocked, but Tom who accompanied him along the way was also shocked.

Rognar, a scion of the Viscount family of Iron Shoe Castle and a young senior knight, would actually choose to follow Luo Ning?

In a daze, Tom understood that Lord Luo Ning was now the Lord of Wubei Territory and had a broader future. His status was not comparable to that of the Lord of Shanlin Town.

"You... get up first."

Luo Ning did not agree immediately, but stepped forward and helped the three of them up one by one.

The three of Rogner were a little surprised. Shouldn't the other party say something like "I accept your allegiance" at this time?

What does it mean to help them up and not accept it?
"Come on, let's talk first in the castle."

Luo Ning invited the three of them into the castle, "I need to understand your thoughts, and at the same time, you also need to know a little more about me before following me."

The three Rogners were different from the other followers.

The knights under Luo Ning were either surrenderers or knights promoted from ordinary people, and they did not have particularly complicated backgrounds.

But the three Rogners have families behind them. Even if they are loyal to Luo Ning and put Luo Ning's interests first, they will not completely sever ties with their families.

Therefore, he must let the other party understand some things that are customary but have changed in Luo Ning's case. A group of people came to the living room, and the servants served drinks and fruits to the lord and guests.

Luo Ning also took advantage of the situation to learn about the situation of the three people.

Ragnar Ironhoof, 21 years old, senior knight, second son of Viscount Marvin;

Kurami Snow, 21 years old, an intermediate knight, the eldest daughter of Baron Talon, and the fiancée of Rogner. It is said that the two are about to get married;
Grado Hartel, 17 years old, junior knight, second son of Sir Thori.

Although all three of them came from noble families, none of them had the right to inherit their family titles or property.

After all, they are either the second son or the daughter. According to the inheritance rules, they cannot be ranked first.

Therefore, their fate has long been determined. Either they stay in the family and help the family take care of their affairs, or they go out with some resources to follow other lords to seek progress in status and property.

The three Rogners chose the latter.

Wubei Territory is an emerging territory, and Lord Luo Ning has great potential. This is a very suitable object of allegiance.

This is what they mean, and maybe the family behind them also has such a meaning.

Agree or reject?
In fact, Luo Ning never thought about refusing.

When he was still the Baron of Hillwood Town, having a dozen professional knights under his command seemed to be enough.

But he is now the Viscount of Wubei Territory, and the territory will definitely develop in the future. Not only will the population increase, but the wealth will also increase.

There is a saying that goes, "My neighbor collects grain and I collect guns, and my neighbor is my granary." Behind this saying is whether the neighbor's force is worth it.

If Luoning wants to maintain the stability of the territory and protect the wealth of the territory, he needs more professional knights or magicians.

After all, the extraordinary is the symbol of power in this world.

But it would take many years for the citizens to awaken to the extraordinary on their own, and then wait for them to advance from elementary to intermediate and advanced levels. The speed is too slow.

Under such circumstances, accepting the allegiance of an alien supernatural being is an unavoidable choice.

Rogner, Kurami and Grado are all good talents, and Luo Ning has no reason to refuse.

"I can accept your following."

After understanding all this, Luo Ning gave the answer the other party expected, but his subject changed again: "But there are two things I must tell you in advance."

The three of Rogner listened carefully, "You said."

"First of all, since you have chosen to follow me, I hope you can obey my arrangements and carry out my orders unswervingly."

"This is what you should do as a follower."

Rogner said: "Please don't doubt our sincerity!"

"The interests of the lord are above all else." Kurami also echoed.

Grado seemed a little less courageous, but he also expressed his position: "Everything will be subject to the arrangements of the adults."

It is the duty of a professional knight to be loyal to the lord and obey the lord's arrangements.

Since the three Rogners chose to follow others, they were already ready to obey their orders.

Luo Ning nodded, "The second point is also the more important point. If you follow me, I will improve your treatment and status, but at least in the next ten or twenty years, I will not give you easy gifts. territory."

Luo Ning has no plans to create several baronies in his Wubei territory for the time being.

He has the final say on how Wubei Territory develops, how the population is mobilized, and how the land is used.

Once a follower is ennobled as a fiefdom noble, according to the laws of the kingdom, he needs to discuss with these vassal lords what policies he wants to implement in these territories.

Although these vassals would basically respond to his decrees, this undoubtedly brought the possibility of setbacks to the implementation of his policies.

For a long time to come, all he has to do is concentrate on doing big things.

"If you can accept this, then I will accept your following."

Luo Ning looked at the three of them and said, "You have time to think about it." (End of Chapter)
