The killing has been going on for several days. In addition to the seven larger noble families in the city of Burai, there are also more than forty small noble families in the entire valley who participated in this incident. According to Moriel's order, Dane personally
After commanding the operation, thousands of heads have fallen to the ground in just a few days, and half of Burai City can faintly smell the smell of blood.
However, the remaining nobles in the river valley are more afraid. The civilians in the city have lost their initial panic because they have discovered that this fight is just a fight between gods to them, and the Hunter family's sword is just a weapon.
To the aristocratic gentlemen in the river valley, I just felt more in awe of the Hunter family in my heart.
Ordinary people say that you kill a chicken and show it to the monkeys. Moriel killed the strongest monkey in the river valley and showed it to a group of chickens. In a short period of time, the Hunter family's rule efficiency in the river valley will be greatly improved.
There are two ways to establish a new rule. Either collude with the original interest class and let everyone be the superior master. At worst, if you are stronger, we will regard you as the leader and let you represent the interests of this class.
Or simply completely defeat and cripple the original interest class and completely establish a new rule.
The first method is more commonly used in practice. When dynasties change, most of the time, the new rulers combine with the interest classes. Of course, except for the most recent time, everyone divides their own interests to form a new governance model.
The advantage of this method is that it can quickly stabilize the situation, but the disadvantage is that even if you become a nominal ruler, you will still be constrained by the interest class, and you may even be controlled in turn when you are weak.
The second method was the method used by Moriel, and it was very consistent with Moriel's style. He found a reason to directly kill almost half of the nobles who originally ruled the river valley, and it was still a killing method of cutting the grass and roots. In this way, Heng
The bureaucracy of the Te family can replace the original aristocratic rule system in the river valley as quickly as possible. At least now, the Hunter family will have less time to send administrators, tax collectors and sheriffs to various towns in the river valley to establish rule.
There was a lot of resistance.
Either all the local nobles have been wiped out, or the nobles who were lucky enough to escape were frightened by the thousands of heads. They dared to resist the rule of the Hunter family. They didn't even dare to make small moves for fear of being killed again.
Moriel found an excuse to kill again.
But there are certain drawbacks to doing this. The river valley is just a corner of the kingdom. The gentle methods used by the Hunter family to change the kingdom's system in the North were already very bad rules. It is difficult for the great nobles to accept the Hunter family's behavior.
means of taking over power.
This time, Moriel went even further in the river valley, directly clearing out the river valley with a knife. Although Moriel found an excuse for this action, anyone with a discerning eye could see what Moriel's true intention was.
, everything is just planned. It’s okay that Richard only rules the Northland and the River Valley. At worst, he can become a local emperor. But if Richard continues to go south and wants to replace the Charman family and become the new owner of the kingdom, it will be difficult.
will rise in a straight line, and rulers who do not care about the interests of the nobility will also be ostracized by the nobility.
But this was not something Moriel had to consider, because the order given to her by Richard before the expedition was to complete the control of the river valley as quickly as possible. Moriel did it. When the killing just ended, Moriel
The Hunter family bureaucrats they brought have been dispatched to various parts of the river valley. Soon these skilled administrative officials will be able to help the Hunter family complete effective rule in the river valley.
"Lord Moriel, all the families involved in this price hike have been dealt with."
At this time, Dane, who was returning to Moriel in the river valley, was neatly dressed, but with Moriel's keen sense, he could still feel that there was a faint smell of blood on Dane's body that never dissipated.
This shows that when Dane was responsible for cleaning up various houses, he not only acted as a commander, but also personally participated in some killings, showing so much force that the smell of blood on his body has not dissipated.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, General Dane."
"This is my subordinate's honor."
"How many supplies were confiscated from these nobles' castles this time?"
After some small talk, Moriel turned the topic to a more critical point. The nobles in this river valley are all tycoons who have accumulated wealth in this prosperous land for hundreds of years. Even Moriel must admit that this group of merchant nobles
The ability to make money is much better than that of the naive nobles in the North. If they could invest more of their accumulated wealth into military equipment, Moriel would not be so easy this time, but now they have accumulated so much wealth.
The entire Hunter family's warehouse has been filled.
"In total, more than 1.5 million gold coins, 15 million stone of grain, various jewelry and luxury goods were confiscated in this operation. Land and other properties are also included in the statistics."
Dane can be regarded as a man who has seen the world. His voice was trembling when he reported the seizure results to Moriel. Such wealth sounded like an astronomical figure to him. With his strength as a knight and the commander of the Valley Legion,
His position may not allow him to come into contact with such a huge wealth in his lifetime. Of course, he would not dare to think about these properties at all. Not to mention that the administrative officials of the Hunter family and the Dragon Army soldiers were involved in the whole process. Even Dane himself
He didn't dare to raise his hand even though everything was handled by himself.
Moriel not only shocked the nobles of the river valley, but Dane was also a little afraid of Moriel. Now the nickname of Moriel as the Bloody Queen of the River Valley has been spread. Of course, this nickname is somewhat malicious and even harmful.
There is some provocation in it, but Moriel won't care about this provocation. Her loyalty to Richard is unimaginable to outsiders, but the word "bloody" really fits Moriel's current image.
"This time, Lord Dane was the first to suppress the rebellion of the nobles in the river valley. I will report to Lord Richard truthfully. General Dane should have a quota for the training camp and the strengthening knight blessing potion."
Good guy, Moriel directly defined the economic confrontation of the nobles in the valley as a rebellion in one sentence, but how to define it was Moriel's business. What was more important to Dane was Moriel's recognition of his contribution and subsequent commitment.
"Thank you, Lord Moriel!"
Dane's tone was a little excited. He had long planned to join the Hunter family. Of course, he was also concerned about the situation of the Hunter family. The existence of special training camps and knight-enhancing potions was not a secret to the Hunter family. After all,
Every week, meritorious or outstanding officers are selected for training in the training camp. This method of quickly improving strength has long been spread within the Hunter family.
Although in the test, neither the training camp nor the enhanced Knight Blessing Potion had an ideal effect on the knight-level masters, but at Dane's stage, any resource that has some effect is very precious, and the two resources
Superimposed, plus he has accumulated a lot of time in the middle level of the Great Knight, the probability of breaking through to the high level is still very high if the realm is slightly loosened. Isn't this the meaning of his full surrender to the Hunter family.
"This is what you deserve."
Although Moriel's methods are cruel, the rewards and punishments are very clear. If it were not for Dane this time, the Hunter family would definitely be able to successfully enter the river valley, but it would never be as smooth as it is now, at least
Without Dane's men to lead the way when it comes to ransacking a house, half-migrants like the Hunter family may not be able to find the right location.
"Fifty thousand gold was used as rewards for the soldiers under his command. The contributions of the soldiers of the River Valley Army and the Dragon Army were calculated together. The rest, including all kinds of jewelry, were loaded into trucks and transported back to the North.
.”
"Yes, Lord Moriel!"
Just as Moriel was arranging the captured supplies, a Dragon Army affairs officer walked in.
"Lord Moriel, the Military Justice Department found that a soldier had hidden something secretly..."
"Oh? Which flag regiment is so bold?"
The Dragon Army officer who reported to Moriel glanced at Dane, who was still smiling, which made Dane's heart skip a beat, and then he said:
"They are soldiers of the River Valley Legion."
The rules of the Hunter family's army are strict, and privateering is strictly prohibited during war. Especially the Dragon Army, which has the most stringent military regulations. With the Dragon Army acting together, the River Valley Army has also been subject to a lot of restrictions, and there has been no looting.
Behavior. But after all, wealth is attractive to people. Faced with such a huge wealth, there are always people who take desperate risks and hide some gains secretly. But obviously they were unlucky and were quickly caught by the sharp-eyed military judges.
These damn guys!
Dane's face, which had been smiling just now, suddenly changed. He really didn't know anything about his men's actions, but being caught hiding the confiscated property made him lose a lot of face here. Before Moriel could speak,
Dane immediately said:
"I will go back immediately and punish these people severely."
"Then does General Dane know what the crime of hiding and seizing at Hunter's house is?"
"Beheading."
Dane still knew a little about the Hunter family's rules for managing the army, and he immediately said the correct answer. But soon he saw Moriel's half-smiling expression and understood what Moriel meant. This was not enough.
After thinking for a while, Dane continued:
"The River Valley Legion has just joined the command of Lord Richard and does not have a deep understanding of military law. Please ask Lord Moriel to send some military judges of the Dragon Army to teach the soldiers in the River Valley Legion."
"Okay, Kales, you will take your people to the River Valley Legion with General Dane in a moment. The River Valley Legion will be our own from now on, and the military laws will also follow those of our Dragon Army."
"Yes, sir!"
Dane himself also realized that his control over the River Valley Legion was too strong. After joining the Hunter family, it was obvious that this kind of control was not suitable. He took this opportunity to actively invite Moriel to send officers and exert the influence of the Hunter family.
Neither side looks bad.
"Okay, everyone needs to continue to be more vigilant during this period. Anyone who dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble will be severely punished."
"Yes, sir!"
…
Northland, Miracle City.
The relocation work was carried out very quickly, because the two cities were not far apart, and there were not many people in the first batch to be relocated. At this time, the main members of the Hunter family and most of the students at Ironwood City College were completely
Entered Miracle City.
The effect of prolonging life and longevity cannot be seen in a short period of time, but it can be clearly felt by improving the efficiency of cultivation. As long as the senior members of the Hunter family are masters above the knight level, they can basically feel that the efficiency of fighting qi cultivation has improved a lot. This is their biggest
Some people's Qi-Entraining Techniques have nothing to do with the water system. If people who specialize in water-based Qi-Entraining Techniques practice here, their efficiency will be even greater.
After arriving here, the one who reacted the most was Richard's father, Viscount Sauter. He seemed to have found a target. Every day he was familiar with the first-class water-based Qi-Braining Technique, Whale Sea Qi-Braining Technique that Richard found through Pare.
Decide.
This Qi-Inducing Technique is slightly stronger than the previous Qing Qi-Inducing Technique, and its power is slightly less powerful than the Qing Qi-Inducing Technique. It seems relatively mediocre, but its characteristic is that the amount of fighting energy is larger, and it is as endless as the sea. It is also a Richard flower.
Paley had to pay a lot of money to collect them, specifically to match the special characteristics of Miracle City.
After feeling the special nature of the Miracle City, Viscount Sauter neither hunted nor played circuses nor watched the circus. He studied the Whale Sea Qi Entraining Technique all day long. He had infinite yearning for the earth level.
However, during this period of time, Richard was not as free as his father and two uncles. After more than ten days, the Dragon Cliff in Linzhong City had been upgraded to a Golden Dragon Cliff. Not only did he recruit a new Golden Dragon, but also transformed the original one.
The green dragon was successfully upgraded, and now Richard has more than six dragons at his disposal. Of course, everything is fine, but it consumes a lot of resources, making it difficult to implement Richard's army expansion plan.
Things in Piaoxue City have now been basically straightened out and on track. Richard has no need to worry about Rhodes's management of Piaoxue City in an orderly manner. However, after a steady stream of information about the river valley is sent to Richard's desk,
Jean was a little shocked by Moriel's murderous intention. He could only say that this acting style was worthy of Moriel, the Dragon Queen.
However, after the matter was handed over to Moriel, Richard did not interfere too much and allowed Moriel to exert his influence. If someone wants to be a good person, there will always be someone who wants to be a bad person, and someone will be a bad person. Although Moriel is easy to kill,
But the effect is really good.
"Lord Richard, a new letter from the valley."
Richard, who was at work, received the new information brought by the messenger and opened it to check as soon as possible.
The envelope contained a request letter and a list. In the letter, Moriel asked for instructions to use the acquired fields in the river valley to recruit and expand the army on the spot. Based on the conditions in the river valley, it could support at least 150,000 soldiers. This was natural for Richard.
He had to agree, and there was a series of numbers written on the list that made Richard excited.
"One and a half million gold nuggets."
"Fifteen million stone of grain, including two million stone of fine grain."
“All kinds of jewelry are useless.”
At the end, Richard's eyes were all bright and he had only one word in his mind.
