After a few days of restlessness, the city has basically returned to calm. The military discipline of the Hunter family's army is better than anyone imagined. When tens of thousands of troops entered the city, there was not a single incident of harassing residents, and they were still helping to maintain law and order.
, on the contrary, some of the original city guards of Piaoxue City wanted to take advantage of the chaos to plunder, but were suppressed by the Hunter family.
After two days of hiding from observation, the people of Piaoxue City also realized that these soldiers in blue and white armor were harmless to humans and animals, and began to take to the streets as usual. No matter how the rulers above them changed, the lives of the people still had to go.
No matter whether it is a Lanster family, a Hunter family, or some Littlewhites, a teahouse is still a teahouse, and a tavern is still a tavern.
The tavern in the alley that had been closed for two days has now reopened, and there are no fewer drinkers than usual sitting in the tavern to kill time.
"Our Piaoxue City will fly the three-flag of the Hunter family from now on."
"This Lanster family is also a coward. They opened the city and surrendered without firing an arrow."
"Isn't it good to surrender in Kaicheng? We have to fight our own people to the death. No one wants to see most of Piaoxue City destroyed after that battle."
"That's right, it would be smart for the Lanster family to open the city and surrender. Look at the four giant dragons in the sky. Can the Lanster family resist?"
People in the Golden Dragon Kingdom always have a mysterious confidence in the dragon, and sometimes they even infinitely exaggerate the dragon's strength while ignoring some of its weaknesses and limitations.
Of course, there is nothing that can be done about it. The Golden Dragon Kingdom has to promote the power of dragon knights from the center. The propaganda has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for hundreds of years. It was originally to establish the authority of the center, but now it also involves Heng, who has several giant dragons.
Tejia also went in for publicity.
After the four giant dragons patrolled the city to demonstrate, all the forces in Piaoxue City were very honest, and the Hunter family who accepted Piaoxue City received almost no resistance.
"I just think it's a pity that the Lanster family has lived for more than a hundred years."
"The Lanster family themselves are not pity, so what are you pitying for others? Even if the Lanster family falls, they still live better than the rest of us."
"That too."
"But I heard that Sir James didn't want to surrender. The Elders led the First Legion into the city and surrounded the Marquis' Mansion."
"Come on, stop talking about these gossips and take good care of your own life. I don't know if our life will be easier now that the Hunter family is here."
"The Hunter family is also a serious marquis in the kingdom, so why can't they mess with your tavern?"
"It's just that you were so frightened that you locked the door for two days. The Hunter family is more disciplined than the new recruits from the Lanster family."
After James inherited the title, the newly recruited troops pursued quantity, which resulted in low quality. Compared with the previous ones, especially the last few legions, the military discipline was much worse. Although they did not commit murder and arson, they did pay for things they bought and made money when they drank.
It's common for people to get drunk and beat people up.
"Hey, it's always good to be careful."
The tavern owner seems to be in a good mood. Piaoxue City has been handed over peacefully, and his business has not been affected at all. As long as his life is not affected, he doesn't care whether the Hunter family or the Lanster family collects taxes.
"Ahem..."
Outside the tavern, a group of Silver Wings patrols wearing blue and white cloth masks passed by. Although these people had never harassed the merchants, the people in the tavern instinctively stopped talking to avoid causing trouble.
…
Marquis Palace
The news of Ren's decision to promote Richard as Duke has not yet reached, but at this time, many people gathered in the meeting hall of the Marquis Mansion. After all, they have newly taken over a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands, and tens of thousands more have laid down their arms.
In order to effectively manage an army, certain arrangements must be made.
In the open space of the Hou Mansion, Richard, who was dressed in military uniform, and Igor, the elder who looked a bit flashy in his costume, appeared out of thin air at the same time.
Richard looked indifferent, while Igor showed a very surprised expression.
"Master Richard, is this the magic of the elves back then?"
"Well, this is magic, but it's not the magic of the elves back then."
"It's really amazing."
Although Richard denied the elves, he admitted that it was the effect of magic. Igor was also considered one of the upper-class people. Naturally, he had heard rumors about magic, but he had always been doubtful about its true existence. Now, Richard personally
After feeling the teleportation for a while, I became even more in awe of Richard.
Richard has always been sensitive to the army. Soon after entering the city, he asked Ou Ze and the elders to take him to inspect the four legions left by the Lanster family, and he felt somewhat confident.
When he came back, he had a sudden idea and asked Ou Ze to rush back to the Marquis Mansion on his own. He took Elder Igor and tried teleportation. In the past, Richard had only used teleportation with system creatures, and he had never tried teleportation with creatures from this world.
People use it, so this time I simply did an experiment with Igor.
If there is no accident, it can be used to take people like Lin Te on their way in the future, but if there is an accident.
Well, anyway, if only one member of the Council of Elders dies, it won’t be a big problem.
"Senior Igor, let's go in first."
"Yes, Lord Richard."
Igor was still immersed in the shock of teleportation. Just now, he was in the camp outside the city, and suddenly he returned to the Hou Mansion. He didn't come back to his senses, but he had no idea that he had been betrayed by the evil Li
Cha was used as a guinea pig for a time.
…
"There is no need for the Senate to exist, but each family can keep their own manor and property. However, nothing belonging to the Marquis' Mansion is allowed to be taken away."
"Yes, Lord Richard."
Although this matter had been expected, when Richard actually announced it, the following elders were still extremely distressed. They had embezzled a lot of assets belonging to the Hou Mansion, and now they were about to spit it out.
But when people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads. It is already quite generous for Richard to keep so much property. If Richard was so poor that he went crazy before, the result might be different.
After Richard agreed to keep their land and property, they had to stand up to express their gratitude.
On the other side, Richard had discussed with Lin Te and determined the personnel of the municipal, taxation, public security and other departments one by one. This time Richard came to Piaoxue City to bring not only an army and four dragons, but also an entire administrative team.
, all of them are capable forces drawn from Ironwood City.
The Hunter family, or rather Richard, has always attached great importance to the training of managers. He knows very well that after a place is conquered by the army, it is more difficult to effectively govern it. If the Hunter family's approach is to be implemented, it will inevitably not be retained.
The original administrative affairs officials had to be replaced with their own people in key positions in order to run the Hunter family's system, which was considered alien in the kingdom.
There would have been some resistance to such a large-scale change of personnel, but the current situation is that the army is pressing down on the territory, and local snakes like the Elder Council and Ou Ze have surrendered one by one. Even if some people are dissatisfied, they can only hold it in, and the personnel will be arranged quickly.
Go down.
The reorganization of the army is the top priority. It is impossible to retain all the original troops in Piaoxue City, but it would be a pity to abolish them all. Richard is not afraid of these people mutiny. As long as the officers have no problem with their minds, he will not dare to do so.
The main reason for the assassination with the Hunter family is the quality of the soldiers.
Ozer's first legion is decent and can be retained, but the three newly formed legions that James later formed are a bit messy, and they need to be picked and sorted.
The first legion was retained, and half of the remaining three legions were cut off, leaving only a maximum of 30,000 people combined with the first legion into a reinforced legion of ten flag regiments, with Rhodes as the first legion commander.
On the other hand, Ou Ze, who showed a very clear sense of understanding and mutual trust, acted as Rhodes' deputy and assisted Rhodes in completing the reorganization of the legion. Everything was going normally at first, but something unexpected happened when the legion was finally named.
"Lord Richard, can I give the new legion a name?"
"Um"
This was not a big deal, and Richard did not refuse, but he would soon have to pay the price for his recklessness.
"I think the new legion can be called the Legion of Justice!"
