Backend BUG, the Failed Chapter Is Repeated, Will Be Replaced After 11:00 (Sorry!)
The sky above the capital was clear and the sun was shining brightly, making it a good day for execution.
Every half an hour or so, a cannon shot will be heard from the direction of the square, which means that an originally "prominent" big shot has received the justice he deserves.
The crime had been determined before, and this process was more publicized for the public to watch, especially the one where the church colluded with Tifeco to murder the king and usurp the throne. After nearly a week of sorting and preparation, the chain of evidence presented was complete and indisputable - of course, Roland would not give them a chance to argue.
Generally speaking, not many nobles were hanged. Except for Tifeko and his men, the prime minister and the legal officer, the rest were all believers of the church. Now that the Royal Capital Church has been uprooted, he has not spared anyone who participated in the evil plague incident.
Presumably when this group of scum was pushed to the gallows, they would be "warmly welcomed" by the onlookers.
"Are you really not going to see the scene?" Nightingale asked standing by the window.
"Iron Ax and Thasa will take care of everything," Roland replied without raising his head. The public trial held in Border Town was to stimulate the will of the masses and increase the centripetal force of the people, but there was no environment for implementation here. People will not suddenly come to their side just because the head of the false king Tifeike fell to the ground, just like they did not immediately defect to the false king after the deaths of Wimbledon III and Gronn.
He doesn't have enough mass base here.
In addition, safety is also a big problem. The list of gems in memory was eventually found by Sylvie. Tifeko hid it in the secret box in the bedroom closet, but Roland found that the remaining gems were more than the number of people on the list. There are twelve people missing, and four of them are hiding in the royal capital, which means that they have all received orders from Tifeko. Although it is not necessarily designated for assassination, one must always be careful. A place like the execution ground was not suitable for people to go and watch - and he had no interest in the execution.
He has more important things to deal with than this.
Such as the military.
The casualties of the capture of the royal capital finally came out with a detailed statistics. A total of thirty-three people in the First Army died. This was the most serious loss since the founding of the army. Although they defeated enemies several times their own, many problems were still exposed in the street fighting. The most important one was the lack of firepower for demolishing houses. Most of these casualties were caused by the sudden rush of mad guards from the houses on both sides of the street. Caused by entering the queue. If you can equip some guns with grenades or blasting tubes and advance while demolishing suspicious houses, the casualties will definitely be reduced a lot.
The other thing is the number of soldiers. A 3,000-strong First Army can now completely sweep across the entire Graycastle, but it is quite difficult to conquer every place after conquering it. After capturing the royal capital, at least 500 people must be left behind to maintain order. With the coming of Chuilong Ridge and the Southern Territory, the size of the army is obviously not enough to cope with the security war... Further expansion of the army is imperative.
Roland wrote down the pension and military expansion plans and handed them to the guards outside the study, and ordered him to return to Neverwinter City with the instructions, and the city hall would complete everything that follows.
Then the prince turned his attention to the group of minor nobles.
They do not have the strength to influence politics, but everyone can be regarded as a contemporary intellectual, and they are also eager to get promotion opportunities - a large number of the original ministers of the royal capital have been swept away, either deported or taken to the Neverwinter mining area. Having served their sentences, a large number of positions are now vacant. If you want to keep the royal capital functioning normally, letting them work for you is the best way to save manpower.
Barov has been in the royal capital for many years, and he must have many acquaintances here. It would be much more effective for him to organize a temporary management organization than to force selection by himself.
Of course, entrusting important responsibilities to small nobles who are determined to surrender to themselves can also increase their enthusiasm. Yorko is the example chosen by Roland.
These days, he finally thought about the whereabouts of this "old friend".
…
As soon as Yorko stepped into the study room, he shouted loudly, "Oh my God, you actually killed all those magicians. I didn't expect that the evil plague was actually released by these guys. High Priest Fei Li confessed his crime personally." I couldn't believe it at the time, it was like slandering the gods! Now the people in the square are praising your name, saying that you saved them six months ago."
Roland smiled. This was news released by the mice arranged by Tasa in advance. It coincided with the refugee rescue six months ago, and it must have a good publicity effect. As for the chorus of praise for one's own name, it's most likely Yorko's flattery.
He didn't point it out, but pushed a beautiful parchment letter in front of the other party.
"check it out."
Yorko unfolded the letter and glanced at it twice before his eyes widened, "You...you want to send me as the ambassador of Graycastle?"
"That's right, the permanent one," Roland nodded. "The letter of appointment, scepter, and seal are all available. The station is in Glow City, the royal capital of Dawn. What do you think?"
This was an answer he came up with after thinking about it - as a well-known "Magic Hand" in the royal capital, it sounds very popular, but in fact it is not a good reputation, just like the fourth prince in the past.
No one wants to have green hair on their head, and the same goes for the nobles. Their wives are fooling around with other people, and it’s fine if they are not caught on the spot. But they themselves are also having fun everywhere, hanging out in brothels and taverns—— But it's all done in secret.
If Yorko is placed in an important position, or if the magic hand is openly allowed to enter the city hall, the impact is simply unpredictable... All nobles and wealthy businessmen may have to worry about whether their wives will openly throw apricot branches to Yorko, and those who The woman who was having an affair with Yorko might take this opportunity to climb up the ladder with him. This was not what Roland wanted to see.
Therefore, it is the most appropriate choice to send them abroad. The kingdom's ambassador is different from the mobile envoys. His status is equivalent to that of the earl, and the king of the other side will treat him with courtesy. The name is resounding and the publicity effect is first-rate. There is no need to grant fiefdoms to oneself and it will not frighten others.
Just let him harm Chen Xi. I heard that the aristocratic women over there are very charming, and the women are particularly outstanding. Maybe he can break into a new world.
Yorko obviously took a fancy to this. He knelt down without hesitation and replied excitedly, "I... no, I am willing!" as if he was afraid that Roland would regret it.
"Then it's decided," Roland said with a smile, "Before that, I will arrange for the etiquette officer to train you properly."
In addition to settling Yorko, he also really needs to leave his own manpower in the morning light in order to understand the situation of neighboring countries, and at the same time urge them to fulfill their covenants and jointly fight against the church.
