Alternately commanding armies is simply impossible in the north.
If it were in the past, even Lorne would not have dared to think so if he wanted to hand over the lord's personal army to others to command.
But now, Baron Fast, who is preparing for his marriage, feels that he can try to reorganize the army.
For the purpose of centralizing power, it would definitely not work to allow the lords to continue to maintain their own private armed forces.
If it weren't for the threat from the Li family, Lorne's next step would not be restructuring but cleaning.
It's a pity that Baron Fast has taken a step back, but others are not so easy to talk to.
Even Bank's suggestion in his own name to organize the army to go south to fight the heretics was strongly protested by some people, and the representative figures among them were naturally the marquises.
The minor nobles were not qualified to participate in such a meeting, and now it was only those marquis who dared to challenge Lorne.
Fortunately, Lorne's identity is no longer the same as before, and he has obviously received help from Bank, so the old guys are not openly opposed.
They just refused to send troops on the pretext that the army needed to rest after the war, but the expeditionary orcs only mobilized the most elite warriors from their old guys.
Apart from the warriors who had just defeated the orcs, they still had quite a few soldiers.
What's more, now that the orcs have been severely weakened, there is no need for so many troops stationed at the border.
Deploying some of them to go south first to deal with the heretics can completely meet Lorne's needs.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lorne planned to take advantage of the opportunity to integrate all the armies in the north for semi-permanent reorganization, but it was a pity that a few old guys did not give him a chance to try.
Fortunately, this meeting was not fruitless.
At least Lorne knew who had stronger bones.
Among the several marquis families, the Clark family can be left to Sophia to deal with.
There is a private agreement with Marquis Clark, and the bishop has many ways to make them cooperate.
Among the three remaining old guys, Marquis Marco has already been taught a lesson by him.
Knowing that Lorne was not easy to talk to, Marquis Marco only relied on his companions to dare to talk to Lorne.
If there is no helper, the old guy will naturally be at the mercy of Lorne.
The problem is the remaining Tucson family and the Ryder family.
When Lorne was the son-in-law of the Stany family, he had some interactions with the Ryder family.
Now that their identities and status have changed, there must be some changes in the way they communicate with each other.
There was no need to take action on his own, so he called Count Stany over.
Lorne's request was very simple.
"I heard that the earl and Marquis Ryder have a good relationship.
I have a small favor here that I need the earl to do.
I think the earl won't refuse me."
He led the army in the north to defeat the orcs, subdued a terrifying monster, and was about to become Anna's husband and legally rule the north.
Lorne's rise was too fast, but Bowen's adaptation was not slow either.
"Your Majesty the Baron saved our northern territory, and I will naturally do my best to comply with your orders.
The Ryder family is related by marriage to our Stany family.
If it is related to Marquis Ryder, I can guarantee that it will be completed."
Putting everything that originally belonged to John into Lorne's hands, and completely obeying Lorne's orders, this is Bowen's way of survival today.
Lorne, who is about to rule the North, will not hold on to Count Stany's pigtails.
Of course, if Bowen does something wrong, some punishment will certainly not be less.
"That's the best.
The Earl also knows that today's situation is too complicated.
If you want to maintain stability in the chaos, you need some changes.
Now that the orcs are no longer a threat, the border fortress naturally does not need so many troops.
I think Commander Bank's proposal is a bit untimely, but there is one thing I strongly agree with.
Concentrate our forces in the north so that if anything happens, we can respond as quickly as possible.
What do you think, Your Excellency?"
It turned out that he wanted to use the excuse of going south to take the army into his own hands.

With Lorne's current momentum, this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
With his record of defeating the orcs and his identity as Anna's husband, he could easily organize the northern army in his hands in the way he wanted.
Knowing that the Fast family has always had the habit of adapting other people's armies, Bowen immediately knew Lorne's purpose.
And since Baron Fast made it so clear, Bowen's mission is also very clear.
"With His Excellency the Baron commanding our army, there will definitely be no problem with the security of the north.
I also think that now that the orcs are out of fashion, we should really set our sights on the south.
Our Stany family is willing to follow you, and I will be responsible for persuading Marquis Ryder.
I guarantee that the Marquis will understand that he knows what to do for the sake of the North. " Sophia had already publicized the heresy threat theory after Lorn returned.
Although the effect was not obvious because Lorn still focused on improving his prestige, everyone must be aware of the fact that the heresy is now winning steadily. .
It would be more convenient for Bowen to help him persuade the Ryder family than for Lorne to do it himself.
As for the last Tucson family, Lorne was not going to be polite to them.
After marrying Anna, he will use his power to forcibly recruit their army.
Doing this will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some people, but as long as the other families are prevented from uniting, Lorne, the de facto Grand Duke of the North, can firmly control the North.
It's just that he wants to get married quickly, but Anna, who has a big belly, is not willing to appear in front of the nobles in the north in her current appearance.
Moreover, a girl who was about to give birth could not go through all the rituals with such a big belly, so this resulted in Lorne still staying at the border.
But as his representative, Celine had already gone to Tallinn City.
The most important city in the entire northern border, Celine not only helped Lorne prepare for the wedding, but also handed over the contact with the Holy Light Religion to the old Mrs.
Fast.
Of course, it could also be because Natalie doesn't want to see Lorne again.
Anyway, if there is any problem with Keira, the Paladin Captain will only tell Celine, and then ask Celine to inform Lorne.
But this time John's disappearance made old Mrs.
Fast less easy to talk to, and Celine's answer to Natalie was also very simple.
"John Carter has always been in your hands.
It was you who protected this criminal in the north.
Now you tell me that he is missing.
Do you think I can tell the baron like this?"
I think it is better for your Excellency to explain this matter to the Baron in person.
If there is anything that needs to be explained, it will be much more convenient than sending letters back and forth
