"Captain! There's someone from outside the city!" Just when Damon was about to fall asleep against the city wall, a soldier he brought ran to him and said.
"Ah, what?" Damon was woken up, but he was still a little confused, but he quickly remembered the purpose of tonight. He suddenly woke up with a sudden alertness, ran to the crenel and looked down.
After estimating the number, there must be several hundred people. He also saw a cavalryman in the front row raising a flag and waving it. Damon knew that these were the people he was waiting for, so he immediately said to the soldiers around him:
"Open the city gate quickly!"
"But Captain!" The soldier was immediately confused. Before Damon came, he didn't tell them why he had so unusually brought them out to stand guard tonight. When he heard Damon's order, it was naturally a little difficult to understand. After all,
Those people don't look like good friends.
"Don't ask any more questions! Hurry up and open the city gate. Haven't you been in love with Cui Weiju's little flower for a long time? It will be of great benefit to you afterwards!" Damon slapped the soldier on the back of the head with his head, but the hit on the helmet had a negative effect.
The shock made him hurt, and Damon suddenly became even more angry. He glared fiercely, and the soldier immediately shrank his neck and ran to the gatehouse to open the city gate in despair.
With the sound of mechanism iron chains rubbing against each other, the heavy door slowly opened. First the outer iron gate was raised, and then the heavy wooden door inside was opened.
The silent black troops walked into the city through the door. Aldridge, the leader, directly saw the leader arranged by Ronan who had been waiting for a long time, and then followed the leader to the pre-prepared venue provided by the Wind Road Gang.
Recently, with the funding and instructions of Ronan, the Temple of the God of War often helps people see doctors for free, and also distributes food to the poor within the specified time. In just a few days, it has received a lot of praise from the masses.
Overwhelming all other temples in the city, Ronan, who presided over everything, also gained a lot of reputation and support from many people.
In fact, these are just routine operations of temples in the past, but since the gods disappeared, the temples have not been as popular as before. Now most temples can barely maintain basic operations, let alone provide benefits to believers.
.
The masses are like this, as long as you give them benefits, they will support you. The nobles of this world have never paid attention to the power of the people, but Ronan, who came from time travel, knows that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. The power of the masses
Power is very powerful, and as long as it can be used rationally, it can bring a lot of convenience and benefits to Ronan.
If Ronan wants to seize power by force, the most important thing is the stability of the territory after seizing power. Otherwise, let alone external expansion, he will be exhausted just dealing with the mess in the territory. By the time he is finished, he will have missed the best opportunity for development.
, then it will be much more troublesome to face other forces seizing power.
Another day passed, and the undercurrent that swallowed up Fengming had already demonstrated its power. Overnight, thirty-six powerful people in Fengming City died in their own homes. The various departments who were still unaware of this
The staff were put under control as soon as they arrived at work.
Damon sat on the seat that once belonged to his grandfather, rubbing the smooth armrest, all kinds of inexplicable emotions flowing in his heart.
"Damon, why are you sitting in the captain's seat!" The person who spoke was the former city guard captain's number one loser, Karni. He had no noble status, but usually stayed close to the captain and ignored Damon.
.
"No, Carney, this is my seat. It has belonged to our family since my grandfather!" Damon stood up excitedly.
"Are you crazy? Where is the captain?" Karni was a little confused, but Damon's usual weakness gave him some inertia.
"Pay attention to the way you talk to me! You are just a commoner! How dare you talk to a noble like this!" Damon was very angry. He was no longer the same person he used to be. He stood up!
At this time, other team members and squad leaders entered the conference hall one after another. As usual, except for those on night duty, everyone else had to go to the conference hall for morning meetings in the morning. At this time, people also noticed
The quarrel between the two.
Karni's expression also changed. Although Damon was very weak, he was still a noble. It was just his daily habits that made everyone care less and less when talking to him. But if Damon was really determined to complain to the trial hall,
Karni will still be in trouble.
"Sorry, Sir Damon, where is the captain?" Karni gritted his teeth and bowed before saying.
"You will never see him again, now I am the new captain!" Damon sneered and looked at Carney and said.
"What?" Karni's expression changed, not understanding what it meant.
"Don't you understand this? He is already dead!"
As Damon finished speaking, an uproar suddenly arose in the conference hall, and the team members became confused, talking to each other and feeling at a loss.
"Quiet!!!" Damon yelled angrily.
Looking at everyone who calmed down and looked at him, Damon said slowly:
"I will take over the position of captain from today. The appointment letter will be issued soon. Do you have any opinions?"
Looking at Damon, who was completely different from usual, everyone lowered their heads and saluted to show that they had no objection. Most people were indifferent. Changing a captain had no impact on them, but some people usually didn't respect Damon very much.
People's expressions were very gloomy, and they were all worried about what would happen to them in the future.
Most of the other departments are similar to Damon's. The occasional thorny ones were killed by the soldiers sent by Ronan to maintain stability, and they all became honest. As for those departments where no one chose to obey Ronan, all the staff adopted by Ronan
Take control, kill those who resist on the spot, and arrange for people to take over after their side is finished. If it doesn't work, leave a small number of people to take over the work, and replace all the rest.
As for Marcel and Eric, who died in their own homes, with frightened but slightly smiling faces, no scars on their bodies but no breathing, they were found by Priest Ashley as disrespectful to God and were given the reason to die by God.
The bodies were burned and even the ashes were confiscated. The horrifying corpses of Marcel and Eric also made many people in the temple tremble and put away a lot of thoughts.
At this time, a good show was about to start at the Earl's Mansion. Ronan was wearing his composite plate armor, standing at the gate of the Earl's Mansion with a nightmare in one hand and a helmet in the other. Behind him stood
One hundred heavily armed soldiers.
Ronan waved his hand, and some soldiers dispersed to block the other two exits of the Earl's Mansion. Ronan led Meluses and the remaining sixty soldiers towards the gate.
The four soldiers on duty at the door were a little nervous and at a loss when they saw the heavily armed Ronan and the soldiers, because he was the second son of the Earl's Mansion, but he seemed to be coming with bad intentions.
