Bradley the steward gently pushed open the door, holding a stack of docunts and a map in his hand, with a hint of caution on his face.
He walked to Louis’s desk, bowed his head respectfully and said: "Sir, these are the current materials of all nobles in Snow Peak County."
He carefully spread out the docunts, placing them in front of Louis.
Louis reached out to pick up the docunts, glanced at them, and then looked at the map, his fingertips sliding lightly over it.
On the map, the territories of Snow Peak County were marked with precision, different colors and symbols representing the divisions of each noble’s land.
Louis’s gaze was calm, he glanced over it and nodded: "It seems the nobles have mostly gathered here."
Steward Bradley softly echoed: "Yes, sir. Now the noble collective in Snow Peak County.
Includes the newly inherited original Northern Territory nobles and Pioneer Nobles from the South. Most of the nobles have already arrived in Snow Peak County."
Louis slightly furrowed his brow, his eyes scanning the nas of nobles listed in the materials, pondering the political dynamics among them.
To convene the Prefect’s eting, he needed to fully understand these nobles’ materials.
While flipping through the docunts, Louis asked: "Then tell , which ones are worth paying attention to?"
Bradley paused, then began speaking: "Well, first is Baron Yorn Harvey.
Baron Yorn cos from the Southern Harvey Family, although the family’s foundation isn’t very deep, his father is an important new noble in the Emperor’s presence, possessing considerable power and wealth.
With his father’s support, Baron Yorn managed to smoothly beco a Pioneer Noble in the Northern Territory and survive here.
Yorn’s territory is located in the southwest of Snow Peak County, near the Glacial Canyon.
Although the land is barren and the climate extre, Yorn gradually stabilized the local economy by relying on advanced water managent technology and small-scale sheep raising brought from his family.
Although initially not showing strong governance ability, within a year he gradually found his footing by relying on his family’s resources and connections.
Among the nobles in the Northern Territory, he has already started to show prominence."
"Although his territory develops relatively slowly, his cooperative relationship with you remains solid." Bradley succinctly sumd up.
Louis listened to Bradley’s words and silently nodded.
Although Yorn is sowhat lacking in ability, often appearing clumsy and eager for success, he has never doubted this person’s loyalty.
Whether during training in the Imperial Capital, or now in the Northern Territory, Yorn has always been the one who stands by during a crisis.
"He is a trustworthy friend." Louis murmured gently.
Bradley nodded slightly, and then went on to introduce another noble familiar to Louis.
His tone revealed a hint of admiration, "Next is your brother, Baron Willis.
Although he is not very prominent within the Calvin Clan, he managed to find his footing in the Northern Territory with his own efforts and your support.
His territory is near the edge of Snow Peak County, near the Cyan Rock Rift, a region with rugged terrain, serving as a natural defense line.
Although resources are relatively barren, there are water sources near the glacier and abundant forest resources surrounding it.
It can be said that his entire camp construction is almost entirely based on experiences from Red Tide Territory. And he learned quickly, knowing well how to maximize these valuable resources and stabilize public sentint.
Moreover, Lord Willis is more forward-looking than we imagined, he has already started to enhance the defense fortifications in the territory to ensure it can beco an important part of your strategic layout in the future.
And it can be said he is completely aligned with your camp.
No matter what happens in the future, Master Willis will be a competent ally of yours in Snow Peak County and even the Northern Territory."
Louis nodded, evidently quite agreeable with Bradley’s assessnt.
If Willis can take root and continue to grow in the Northern Territory, he will undoubtedly beco an important force within my camp, possibly even having the potential to beco the foremost general.
Besides the above two who are entirely in Louis’s camp, for the others this point is uncertain.
"The Southern Nobles remaining include two relatively significant ones."
Bradley continued: "The first is Joseph Kadari, the sixth son of the Kadari Family.
He has always been on the fringes of the family, although he is quite ambitious, he feels pressure due to the lack of real power."
He paused briefly, seemingly pondering his words.
"Therefore Joseph, unlike his father or brothers, cannot comfortably enjoy the family’s wealth and power, and he’s been eagerly seeking breakthroughs to gain more rights.
In recent years he has tried to gain a firm footing in the family through marriage and political alliances, but has not been successful.
This ti he volunteered to co to the Northern Territory, probably seeing more potential here, especially the strategic position of his territory near Qingyu Ridge.
If he can control that area, in the future, it will be crucial for the Empire’s pathway to eliminate the Snow Swearer."
Louis slightly furrowed his brow, Bradley continued to supplent: "He is a typical ambitionist, eloquent, and skilled at diplomacy.
But it cannot be ignored that his motivation isn’t simply for his own power, but because he sees this barren land as a strategic stepping stone for acquiring longer-term benefits."
Bradley added: "Joseph’s territory is close to Qingyu Ridge, a geographical position of great strategic significance.
We need to pay attention to his underlying motives, as he may want to gain further resources and military support through cooperation with us. This is a double-edged sword, and we must handle it cautiously."
