The lordship system had originally spread from the Empire.
Clearly, for these Noble Territories, their lands did not match the number of noble bloodlines eager to acquire land. With too many wolves and too little meat, the system proposed by the Florian Empire, the beacon of Norris Continent, undoubtedly gave these noble lords much to consider.
Because of the Empire's strength, they had no choice but to accept the emergence of lordships as the lowest rank of nobility. At the same time, as loyal supporters of tradition, they cautiously tested the arrival of the lordship title.
As a result, the lordship that had spread from the Empire had always existed on the boundary between recognition and nonexistence.
Now, with the invasion of Abyssal Faith and the helplessness of the Church of Dawn's clergy, these nobles had been driven to this point and could no longer avoid making certain choices.
Perhaps this was the force for change brought about by the uncertainties of history. Hearing Count Jinze say this, Zacharia could not help but breathe faster. He dropped to one knee and faced Count Lu Rui with firm loyalty.
"Zacharia will certainly do everything in his power to protect all of Your Excellency's wealth."
"Work hard, future Lordship."
After saying that, Count Jinze left the cave. Naturally, they did not live inside the cave. The people left behind exchanged unreadable looks. The emergence of the lordship had caused an unimaginable impact here.
They did not possess the Empire's advanced capacity for acceptance. Thus, the way they looked at Zacharia gradually became more reverent, and no one dared speak as loudly as before.
Several counts supporting Zacharia once again undoubtedly gave him even greater power. The commander of the Noble Allied Army began considering how he could perfectly resolve... these two problems.
