Roland White Tower

Roland Mander was loyal, meticulous, taciturn, and even somewhat dull, which is why he was not liked by his original family.

But John Lawrence liked Roland Mander very much and entrusted him with important responsibilities, putting him in command of the musketeers, a new type of soldier at the time.

In fact.

Roland Mander did not disappoint John Lawrence's expectations.

later.

A rebellion broke out in the Northern Border of the Darento Empire.

The cause was the empire's northern expedition against the Ancient Half-Orc Empire. Although it destroyed this great empire in the history of Half-Orc, it also suffered heavy losses.

In particular, the legion composed of Northlands nobles was almost completely annihilated.

These Northern Border noble legions were all led by the eldest sons or heirs of noble families, who set out with the elite troops of the Northlands.

Everything was wiped out in one war.

In truth, upon arriving here, the Northlands nobles, though grieving, felt nothing much.

But later...

The emperor failed to deliver on the promised terms and financial arrangements.

The spoils of war captured during the northern expedition were not distributed at all because the Northern Border noble army was completely wiped out.

This infuriated the North nobles.

Grand Duke Edward Felin of the Grand Duke of the Northern Border was so angry that he went to the capital to demand an explanation, only to be berated by the emperor.

They claimed that the annihilation of the Northern Border nobles' army nearly ruined the northern expedition, and that it was their own fault.

Edward Felin was furious and cursed.

The emperor was furious and immediately had him imprisoned.

then.

The Legendary Realm Duke actually died in prison.

The Northern Border nobles were shocked and outraged.

then.

Under the leadership of Rhoze Filyn, son of the Grand Duke of the Northern Border.

The nobles, both large and small, of the Northern Border rebelled.

Rhodes Felin declared independence and established the Northern Border Duchy.

But the empire didn't care about any of that.

Because the elite troops of the Northern Border had long since died in the barbarian regions of northern Heavenly Land, their rebellion was easily suppressed.

Therefore, the empire dispatched its main army to suppress the rebellion while simultaneously summoning undisturbed nobles from the Northern Border regions to help quell the uprising.

As the pioneering baron of the Northlands.

Although John Lawrence was considered a Northern Border nobleman, he was actually a member of the royal family.

He naturally received a transfer order as well.

but.

besides.

He also received a letter from Roze Flint, heir to the Grand Duke of the Northern Border, who hoped he would join the Northern Border army and would grant him the title of Earl if he could capture the capital or if the Northern Border Duchy could successfully gain independence.

Because of these years.

John Lawrence's actions were also known to the nobles of the Northern Border. Although this pioneering noble had a low rank, he commanded a powerful army and kept a dragon.

He is very capable, so they hope to win him over.

Regarding these...

Despite sympathizing with the plight of the Northern Border nobles, John Lawrence chose to join the Empire.

final.

The rebellion in the Northern Border was quelled.

John Lawrence was granted the title of Earl for beheading the Grand Duke's heir, Rose Felin.

Roland Mander, the ancestor of the White Tower Family, was also made a baron because of his bravery in battle and his absolute trust in John Lawrence.

After being granted a noble title.

Roland Mander built a castle on his fiefdom and named it the White Tower.

The White Tower was built to demonstrate loyalty and to sever ties with the family of the past.

Roland Mander changed his surname to Roland White Tower.

The White Tower Family was thus established.

John Lawrence, impressed by Roland White Tower's actions, renamed Roland's fiefdom White Tower Territory.

White Tower Territory is adjacent to the Inner Ring Sea and was originally just a small fishing village.

Roland White Tower was not concerned with the development of his territory; he was solely focused on serving John Lawrence.
