Chapter 508: The Discussion In the Meeting Room

Viscount Kemil, who was sitting in the main seat, saw that almost all the noble families had an expression of disbelief on their faces. There was a hint of coldness in the depths of his eyes.

“We are not your match, but we can find you a match!”! This was what Viscount Kemil was thinking.

All the noble families present, including Viscount Kemil himself, did not believe that Baron Kant could have such a powerful army within a year.

However, the truth was that Baron Kant did indeed have such a powerful army.

Not only that, but his army also had shocking military achievements that were praiseworthy.

There must be a reason for everything!

A hint of a hidden smile appeared on the corner of Viscount Kemil’s mouth as he said, “The Crimson Sect, as the embers of the Demon Worship Cult, is extremely powerful. It is not inferior to the six top noble families in the South County.”

“Even so, Baron Kant led his army to attack his lair and destroyed it in one battle!”

“How?”

“Why does Baron Kant have such a powerful army?”

Viscount Kemil’s words were loud and clear, as if he was summarizing the doubts that many noble families had about the strength of Baron Kant’s army.

Then, Viscount Kemil said, “A militia can only become a qualified infantryman after three years of hard training. A militia can only become a qualified cavalry after five years of hard training, or a qualified infantryman can only become a qualified cavalry after three years of training.”

“Before, Baron Kant had no foundation at all. Even if the salt mines in the depths of the Nahrin Desert brought Baron Kant more golden eagles and great silver coins, he wouldn’t have been able to train such an elite army in just one year

“Besides, based on the heavy footman in the North County noble alliance army that blocked our cavalries, I can conclude that Baron Kant’s army did not come from the legacy of Princess Sofia. Even when Princess Sofia was at her peak, the Silver Platter Kingdom’s footmen under her were definitely not this strong.”

“Finally, although Baron Kant is the second son of the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, we all know that the Grand Duke Cameron has never supported the actions of his second son, whether it is in the economic aspect or the military aspect.”

“If it was not for the fact that after the coming-of-age ceremony of Baron Kant, he had the power to obtain the title of nobility and obtained the right to be granted the estate, perhaps even Grand Duke Cameron would not grant him the Nahrin Desert even though no noble was interested in it.”

“Therefore, we can exclude the possibility that Baron Kant’s strength comes from the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron. Since Grand Duke Cameron tricked us into blocking the North County noble alliance army, this is absolutely impossible!”

Viscount Kemil analyzed each and every one of them, rejecting each and every one of the theories of the origin of Baron Kant’s powerful troops.

When the nobles in the meeting room saw that Viscount Kemil’s analysis was reasonable, they all nodded in agreement.

Viscount Kemil’s analysis of the strength of Baron Kant’s army had fully convinced them.

“Viscount Kemil, you’re right. I think so too. It’s just that it’s not as comprehensive as your summary.”

Immediately, a noble spoke up in agreement with Viscount Kemil. The one who spoke up was a weak knight. His words were full of praise for Viscount Kemil.

However, most of the nobles were puzzled. Although they all agreed with what Viscount Kemil said, what did it have to do with the current situation they were facing? It had nothing to do with resolving the current situation.

Therefore, many noble families voiced their doubts.

“Although that’s the case, it doesn’t change the fact that Baron Kant has a powerful army. It was his army that forced us into this dilemma.”

“That’s right, Viscount Kemil. The noble families must look at their strength in the end. Besides us losers, who else would care about how incredible and unreasonable Baron Kant’s strength is?”

However, there were also some nobles who were very observant. When they saw that the nobles in the venue were expressing their opinions in response to Viscount Kemil’s words, the scene became a little noisy, so they spoke loudly.

“Everyone, stop arguing. Stop arguing. Let’s hear what Viscount Kemil has to say next!”

“Viscount Kemil, I see that you seem to have a plan in mind. You must have a countermeasure. Let’s continue quickly. No one has any other intentions. It’s just that the current situation is really bad. The nobles here all have great expectations for you. They don’t want to hear some useless words.”

Viscount Kemil enjoyed the feeling of being the focus of all the noble families. Even though his strength had been greatly reduced and he could not even suppress the two strongest barons in here, his deeper background and knowledge still allowed him to surpass the two barons.

“Some time ago, Viscount Gibran, the leader of the East County, was suddenly exposed. I think everyone here must be very shocked by that incident, right?”

When all the noble voices had calmed down and they were all looking at him expectantly. Viscount Kemil suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the current situation.

However, when the nobles in the room heard his loud speech, they also carefully observed Viscount Kemil’s expression and found that he was indeed very calm. He seemed to have made up his mind. Therefore, this time, they did not easily refute Viscount Kemil, instead, they followed Viscount Kemil’s words and answered his question.

The nobles were very enthusiastic and familiar with the struggle for power. They all knew that Viscount Kemil was taking advantage of this matter to regain his right to speak, which had been provoked because of his great loss of power.

Therefore, other than the two most powerful barons, whose faces were somewhat gloomy, the other nobles followed Viscount Kemil’s wishes and expressed their opinions. They were only concerned about the solution to the current situation, it was obvious that although Viscount Kemil still hadn’t proposed any solution, his performance was far better than the two silent and frowning barons.

A noble said, “That’s true. When our family’s spies in Avilis Castle sent the news, I simply couldn’t believe it. Viscount Gibran is a hero of our Dukedom of Leo. I simply couldn’t believe that he was actually the devil’s lackey.”

“Sigh, if you want to talk about shock, I’m afraid I’m the most shocked. When I inherited my father’s title, I see Viscount Gibran as my role model. I wanted to become a hero like him. I was able to turn the tide in a crisis, making everyone marvel at me. After Viscount Gibran was exposed his true self, it was no less than directly shattering my dream!”

“I have always worshipped Viscount Gibran. Although I did not regard him as a role model, I had secretly visited him and asked him about training soldiers. All along, in my eyes, Viscount Gibran was a lord who was good at using soldiers. However, after the harsh truth was revealed, I realized that I was too naive in the past.”
