After the battle of Ebonwall things have changes rapidly news of Duke's defeat by the hands of Victor spread like wildfire many people laughed.
Joking about how a Marquis who was barely a adult won the battle and defeated the Duke, overnight Duke Elmsworth Became a joke soon the Duke Sifon of tetsu dukedom was ready to Invade weak dukedom of Riverland but these time every nobles received a letter more like an order From king Theo IV.
He ordered dukes to participate in upcoming battle and also order Lower nobles to send there army towards capital because the mariner Kingdom led by King Jonathan is Soon going to invade the Kingdom if Golden Grove these made many nobles unhappy
But they knew even though the king was I'll he still had his Mighty army and they did not dare disobey soon the army of Various nibles were sent to capital city of 'Vestano'
Meanwhile in Wildwood territory the negotiations were held and The son of Duke evander was returned but in return Victor got paid at least 8,000 gold from these exchange but Duke did not much care about captured soldiers and in future it will be his biggest mistake.
But for now even he gathered some of his soldiers compared to others dukes.
His Soldiers were but he came up with excuse that the recent war has token toll on his manpower so he can't bring many soldiers. He brought only 7,000 soldiers compred to other dukes they brought 15,000 soldiers each.
Meanwhile Victor wo has recently got orders from capital ordering him to Destroy all forts he had built . He put up A facade He agreed but he did not destroy all of forts he wanted to know how these war between the Mariner kingdom and Golden Grove will play out.
Because if these war weakens the hold of Royal Family he won't care about there orders in future. Soon the army of Theo IV gathered and the total number of army astounded victor it was close 115,000 many other soldiers used to strengthen the defences.
Victor was surprised at the huge army's of both the kingdom and as for mariner kingdom They have deployed atleast 110,000 soldiers but .
Victor also knew they were really not highly efficient Army aside from royal army all the other Armies provided by nobles where not professional.
But for now Victor does not care Much he has also sent 5,000 soldiers and He has instructed the commanders Leading his forces to take detailed notes as to how the royal army fought and keep an eye on enemy as well as other nobles army.
After that he teared the report and looked at new appointed Ministers in front of Him after arresting the previous corrupt ministers he looked at new faces then he looked at financial minister Jon and asked.
"Jon I want you to start building better roads around our territory but to make it more efficient I want you to choose good and talented builders around our territory. "
"Gather them and form a council of infrastructure recommend me a good leader among them and send him to me after interviewing him I will decide whether he can be leader of that council or not"
Jon replied "yes my Lord "
"Also there job built prefect streets in the city as well also I have another important project for them they will build two new Institution "
Everyone when they heard the term Institute were surprised by it.
Now Victor turned towards an old man sitting quietly Nodded towards him and said "I have developed new ministry of Education and the and the first minister is Lord Veldron."
"Who has also been my personal teacher from my young age . He will explain to you all about Institute. "
Soon Veldron stood up came in the centre of the room and Spoke with confidence" These term Institute is like an education Center where no matter the students background they will all join these Institute and learn .
"To read and write as they advanced and age Many other subjects will be added such as history, political thinking military Tactics. "
"At the age of 16 students will be asked and can have freewil whether they want to pursue there career in politics or military or even trade and commerce . The two Institute will be developed in the city of Ebonwalm and also city of Zefo."
Other ministers were stunned With these new ministry and the plan they turned towards Victor but Victor smiled and said and "Don't worry in future there will be many political position as we expand Our territory I have plans .
The ministers and even army generals knew that there Young Lord Victor was not satisfied with ruling just a small Territory.
As he has started to spread his spies everywere especially in the territory of Riverland as well as Marquise Verquis territory who recently hepled the Duke.
After that Victor turned towards Degmon and Lewis "I am forming new Ministry of Military and head of these ministry would be you Lewis you are to gather talented youths who has shown promise of great generalship in previous campaign."
"And form the ministry the sole focus of these ministry would be to learn how to fight different enemies how to fight in campaign there job would be to raise soldiers."

"Yes my Lord "Lewis Replied.
"As for you Degmon I want you to keep drilling our cavalry you are to gather other promising youth to make form new commanders of cavalry troops."
"And also you both before appointing these new commanders you will send there information to me if I agree they will choisen as Commanders. "
These time even Degmon replied happily "Yes My Lord "
Now Ministry of healthcare these is Another one of new Ministry victor formed before the head was Ivon but he was prisoned because of his corruption Instead of him Victor chose the man that goes by the name. Ludwick He was an honest man
The reason I know about his honestly because he was the one who Informed of the corruption to Jon.
