Colenfield Longlegs, the third city lord of Coldwind City, fell in the city that he worked hard to manage but continued to decline. His body lay on the ground, huddled in an extremely painful posture. No matter how much glory he had in life, after death,
But that's it.
When Zhou Qingfeng announced the news on the Holy Light Network, the hungry people in the city burst out into cheers. No one was not surprised, and everyone was horrified.
The Long Legs family has ruled the Cold Wind City for fifty years, and it was like a mountain suppressing it. People in the city probably thought that this kind of rule would last for another fifty years. But when the mountain collapsed suddenly, it was unbelievable.
It turns out that nobles don't last long either.
The hungry people in the city were fighting for their lives with their bloody courage. When they put life and death aside, they unexpectedly found that they had received a great gift, and the nobles who oppressed them were really finished.
Once Lao Changshan dies, his party members will not be a concern. Zhou Qingfeng announced his surrender, exempting the slaves of the nobles from crime, while ordinary party members can be retained, while key personnel need to be screened.
The streets of the battle were filled with lava rocks, and the guards lined up with spears drawn. The slaves of the nobles either knelt down and begged for mercy, or fled.
The Long-Legs family raised several average family wizards. During the duel, because they couldn't run fast, they were all sprayed to death by Swift Shadow's blast of abyssal flames. Half of the twenty or so family knights died, and the others fled.
Some independent little nobles all hid back home. They had the same mentality as the wizards in the city's Wizards Association. They felt that no matter who was in power, they would be indispensable to help rule, and they expected to continue to retain their family property and status after the limelight passed.
There are less than 100 people from Harmony Village and less than 10 managers. It is difficult for the guards and personal guards to maintain order in the city. Zhou Qingfeng promoted Wilson, the president of the Craftsmen Association, to deputy city lord on the spot, establishing a governing body based on the original craftsman system.
.
Wilson has a typical petty bourgeois mentality, talented but relatively weak, eager to survive by clinging to the powerful. After Zhou Qingfeng's appointment was issued, he cheered as if Fan Jin had won the election, and made wishes to other craftsmen who followed him on the spot.
A group of people were praising the Holy Light.
But Zhou Qingfeng only gave Wilson five secretaries and twenty scribes. At the same time, he sent Luke to return to Harmony Village quickly. The real bureaucratic structure still had to be determined after Inisha arrived.
"Next, organize personnel to put out the fire, seize the property of each noble family, suppress the reactionary elements who take advantage of the chaos, screen the nobles and their subordinates, and at the same time provide relief to the hungry people in the city, open warehouses to release grain, and stabilize the social situation."
Zhou Qingfeng had too much experience in rebuilding after chaos, so he immediately expanded the strength of the Guards and recruited craftsmen who were familiar with the city's environment and relatively reliable.
The 30-person personal guard swelled to 500 people in one breath, and all the soldiers in the team became temporary squad leaders of 15 people.
The half-year-long education for the guards finally showed a huge advantage at this moment. Anyone can understand and repeat orders, and being able to write and write shows a certain degree of subjective initiative. The execution of orders is straightforward and decisive, without hesitation or blurred boundaries.
The Holy Light Network completely enveloped Cold Wind City, and the personal guards spread out with tens of thousands of hidden servants. No disturbance in the city could escape Zhou Qingfeng's eyes and ears.
If any accident occurs, the mounted Guards are a mobile force that can nip danger in the bud at any time, which is enough to deter lawbreakers and establish the prestige of the new regime.
It was such a fierce fight that Zhou Qingfeng took down the Cold Wind City in just half a day. This speed was as fast as the blink of an eye. In the morning, it was still the territory of the Long-Legs family, and in the afternoon, a side of the city lord's mansion rose.
Waving red flag.
There are also thirty armed civilians in the advance team, all of them are versatile. My master entered the city yesterday, and today he took the city by force. This situation makes people laugh from ear to ear.
The armed civilians also simply expanded their numbers and brought in the families of the craftsmen, who also numbered hundreds. They drove horse-drawn carriages to set up relief points, baking bread and boiling soup day and night, trying to feed everyone who was still alive in the city.
full.
Suppressing the nobles and winning over the hungry people, these hard and soft hands quickly re-established order. Before nightfall, Cold Wind City had gradually calmed down. The streets were full of cheerful scenes, and there was no chaos of shouting, fighting and killing.
Several bonfires were lit in front of the city lord's mansion of the Long-Leggs Family. Zhou Qingfeng stood outside the bonfires and watched groups of hungry people happily running to receive free bread and hot soup.
The grain for the relief came from several granaries in the city, and the Longlegs family alone had thousands of tons of grain in stock. Other nobles, large and small, also kept grain as hard currency. There was no shortage of food in the city, and the famine was entirely caused by man-made things.
After eating, the hungry people can also live in the nobles' mansions. They can rest for a few days and then decide how to arrange it after Inisha arrives with the main force of Harmony Village.
According to preliminary estimates, there are still more than 8,000 people in Hanfeng City. There are still two to three thousand people outside the city waiting to be taken in. The rest of the population is either dead or has fled without a trace.
Behind Zhou Qingfeng stood Fabro and other wizards from Cold Wind City. These people were originally waiting for Zhou Qingfeng to take the initiative to go to the Wizard's Tower to recruit them. But they couldn't wait, and instead the city continued to recover.
, even more than before.
The wizards couldn't wait any longer, so they had no choice but to appoint Fabbro as their leader and come together to ask for a meeting with the city's new owner. They thought that the new owner would take over the Longlegs' mansion without hesitation, but instead they saw a group of hungry people living there.
Got in.
As expected, he is a barbarian from the black forest. Such a good house is used to house hungry people. Those hungry people will not be grateful. It is really a waste of natural resources. The wizards exchanged looks with each other, with some contempt in their hearts.
"Just opposite the city lord's palace, we found several dry wells." Zhou Qingfeng pointed his finger at the night and randomly marked an area. "The wells were full of corpses that had died of hunger and cold, both men and women. It should be that the body collectors were too lazy.
Run away and just throw them away."
Zhou Qingfeng originally wanted to feel sorry for the hardships of the people's livelihood, but found that he was in the same boat. The wizards didn't know whether they were used to life and death, or they were born cold-blooded, but they were not touched at all. He looked back, and the wizards paid him respect again, as if
Listening carefully.
These bastards still need to be dealt with.
"Mondino." Zhou Qingfeng shouted.
The necromancer with a stooped figure in a black robe slowly walked out, "Your Excellency, I am at your command."
"I appoint you as the Chief of the Undead of Cold Wind City." Zhou Qingfeng said. Mondino also nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
This is the right thing to do, and no one will argue with it. It is also a great favor to let the Soul Capturer, who everyone shouted about in the past, have a public identity. Just when everyone felt that the favor was nothing more than this, Zhou Qingfeng said again
"Mondino, you did a lot to get rid of the long legs of Columbine today, and you also lost a precious Balrog skeleton. I am very satisfied with your performance, and you must be rewarded."
Hearing the word reward, everyone's ears pricked up. Zhou Qingfeng drove the nobles of Hanfeng City away and killed them. In a hurry, all the properties and treasures accumulated by the nobles for decades were left for free.
he.
It is not unusual to buy a few things from the treasure house of a noble to win people's hearts. Everyone wants to know what they take out? Even Mondino himself is excited. He wonders whether Zhou Qingfeng will reward him with a green
crystal?
That's a huge harvest, stronger than any Balrog skeleton.
But Zhou Qingfeng only stretched out his hand, and a series of shimmering runes appeared in his palm. The runes floated towards Mondino, and before the necromancer could tell what they were, the runes disappeared into his body.
A group of wizards have seen a lot of runes and know their importance. But there are good and bad runes, and rubbish runes are not valuable. Top-level runes are extremely rare and are hidden treasures.
Mondino was a little disappointed when he saw it was a rune. But when the rune entered his body, his rickety body suddenly made a creaking sound, and his broken waist straightened up again. He was dressed in gray.
The fluttering bones become darker and darker.
Just when everyone was confused, Mondino himself shouted in surprise: "This is the core rune of the necromancy system, bones."
