Chapter 868 Black Pearl

This feeling...is wonderful.

Edith took a deep breath, savoring the smell of blood in the air.

And the fear that spread in the hearts of everyone.

The encirclement was shrinking rapidly, and the so-called resistance only lasted for a short period of time before it was broken by the unstoppable attack of the God's Punishment Witch. In the eyes of these Taquila survivors, there is no difference between the aristocrats and ordinary people on weekdays. As long as they have no ability, they are all mortals, and there will be no hesitation in making a move.

But they are not killing for themselves at this moment, but are instigated by another mortal. She was also sure that under the influence of that mortal, she would make these God's Punishment Witches follow her orders as well.

Even if she is the same as the other party, she is just a mortal.

This is the charm of power.

Through the connection and negotiation between people, interests, goals, desires, and desires are mixed together to form a strange order, through which, even ordinary people can control forces far stronger than themselves.

"Your Majesty, the sifting is complete." When the last person fell down, "Number 76" Phyllis dropped the long sword full of gaps, and turned to report to Roland Hui.

The corpses of more than sixty people lay in a pile in a pile, and the blood that flowed out congealed into dark red lumps, which looked like hot wax under the reflection of the campfire.

There was no sound now, and all the nobles who were still alive were pale, clenching their teeth and not daring to make a sound, for fear that they would become the next corpse. As for the three "swingers", they had already collapsed on the ground, trembling all over.

If she asked the same question again now, even if there was no Nightingale, she would know how the other party would answer.

Where there is fear, loyalty is guaranteed.

Of course, none of the nobles who were eliminated was innocent—— During the first half of the banquet, Isabella had already wiped off all the God's Stones of Retaliation worn by them. There is no problem with the heart.

Their biggest mistake is to overestimate themselves.

The great aristocrats who ruled a place and were in charge of thousands of lives were still vulnerable to a higher level of power. After the first battle, half of the fiefdoms around Chishui will be wiped out. In comparison, her risky act of plotting against the two great families in Eternal Night City is not worth mentioning.

Fortunately, this plan finally achieved the perfect effect. His Majesty gave her enough trust. From the witch to the Taquila remnants, every step was performed as scheduled according to her arrangement, and even the five questions and answers did not change a single word. It was approved.

The only hiccup is the glass thrown at the end.

She didn't know why His Majesty had to use the wine glass as a signal to act. According to Chou, this step is completely redundant. It is difficult for all the guards to see the movement of throwing the glass at the same time, and the cracking sound is easily covered up. It is really puzzling to prepare drinks. But judging from the after effects, it unexpectedly added a sense of mystery to him, and combined with the theory of mind reading, it made the deterrent effect to a higher level.

Probably this is the level that the king can comprehend.

Edith suppressed Zi Fen's emotions and licked her lips.

It really was the right choice to play for Roland Wimbledon.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help looking at the king, hoping to share this joy with him, but found that the look of anticipation on the latter's face had disappeared without a trace, and there was even a faint repulsion and boredom in his eyes.

"Are there any other banquet halls in the villa?" Roland asked in a deep voice.

"It's just next door," Count Delta swallowed.

"Let everyone go, I have something to say," he nodded, "As for these rebels, you ask your subordinates to count them up and give me a list. I want them tonight."

"Yes... yes, Your Majesty!"

"In addition, open the doors and windows, and dispose of the corpses. The smell of rust is really unappetizing."

"I'll send someone to do it right away!"

So it turned out that Pearl of the North suddenly realized that His Majesty the King did not expect this killing, but what he expected was that these nobles would retire and leave a Chishui with smooth government orders and under the control of the city hall—for bystanders, escorting the mine Obviously, the deterrent effect is not as effective as a pile of corpses. But as far as the killing itself is concerned, he doesn't like it very much. Even the bloody smell in the hall makes him repulsed.

The previous sense of pleasure suddenly dissipated a lot, Edith hesitated after realizing this...

Isn't the plan I arranged a little too much?

Maybe it would be better to kill half on the spot and drag the rest out?

After all, if the preferences shown are too different from those of the superiors, it is easy to arouse the other party's resentment. In that case, her road to power and incorruptibility will probably be much more bumpy.

After everyone moved to the next hall, Roland's frowning brows finally eased. He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Don't worry, everyone. Only rebels will be severely punished. Now that the rebellion is over, the top priority is to To restore the order in Chishui, and this requires your assistance and cooperation."

"I beg your Majesty to order!"

The nobles all knelt down and said.

Roland nodded with satisfaction, "Get up, this is also the first task entrusted to you. After the fiefdom is returned to the king, the original land boundary will be meaningless. I need you to gather in Chishui City—not just the mansion, but also the Freemen, serfs and domestic animals in the fief."

"But...Your Majesty, if you move all the people around here, Chishui City simply doesn't have enough food to feed them," Earl Delta said bravely, "Even if you put all these people in the fields, the surrounding area is not so There are many farmlands available for farming. If they are forced to drive them away, I'm afraid it will cause famine and riots..."

"First of all, this year you will switch to a type of wheat called "Golden No. 2", whose yield is nearly ten times that of ordinary ears of wheat. Secondly, the population that cannot be accommodated can be transferred to the west, no matter how many people there are, I will accept them accordingly. "

Now there was a sound of gasping for air.

"Ten, ten times?"

"Does such wheat really exist?"

"But our subjects..."

"After taking back the fiefdom, those people will naturally no longer be your subjects, and their fate is up to them to decide." Roland interrupted, "The previous land utilization rate was too low, the population was scattered, and there was an autonomous territory of tens of thousands of mu. There are only a few thousand people, which is extremely inconvenient for the implementation of the policy, so it is necessary to shrink the big cities. I know that you are full of confusion about the change, but after such a rectification, Neverwinter City It is now prosperous today. It doesn’t matter if you know how to do it, there will be people who will teach you how to profit from the change.”

"Teach... us?" Earl Delta said in a daze.

"That's right, the city hall officials trained by the parents of Neverwinter. They will form a management department to replace the previous position of lord and govern various regions for me. You can join it and gain the status of power, but Salary income will be greatly restricted. You can also look for opportunities to become part of large-scale production. There is no upper limit to the wealth you can get, but you must not interfere with government orders. On the contrary, you must obey it and complete every task assigned by the city hall." Roland said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, the core management system will be established tomorrow, and you can make a decision after understanding it in detail, but please remember that no matter which direction you take, your achievements will be far away. Far more than the value of a fief."

Half an hour later, the nobles slowly dispersed.

Roland let out a long breath, "In this way, Chishui City will be taken."

"Next there is the Silver City and the Old King's City—but the latter has been cleaned up, and only a simple placement of managers is enough." Edith replied.

"I don't know how the other road is going." He looked out the window. At this time, the moon had risen in the sky, and the silent lake surface seemed to be glowing with a silver light. "If there is no accident, the iron ax should be able to arrive tomorrow. Come down to Jinsui City."

"Uh...probably," Edith's heart trembled, remembering what she had talked to Iron Ax alone before departure, and Roland's expression today, she suddenly became uncertain.

"I hope everything goes well," Roland shrugged, "Go back to the staff first, you're still busy tonight."

According to the plan, after getting the list of rebels, the First Army will split up and move forward that night to clean up its territory as quickly as possible. This is also the reason why the army is stationed outside the city.

"Yes..." Edith said absent-mindedly, "This subordinate is leaving first."

"By the way," Roland stopped her just as she walked to the door of the hall, "It's not a lottery scheme, well done."

Good job... not bad?

is that so? Your Majesty doesn't really mind what she did?

At that moment, Beidi Pearl felt an unprecedented satisfaction.

It turned out that this was the case, she suddenly understood her direction on the road to power, and these schemes and tricks that His Majesty did not want to get involved in, should be carried out by her and carried on her shoulders.

And that's what she's good at.

Edith lowered her head, bowed to him, and walked into the night without a sound.
