Chapter 452 Changes

When Roland returned to Tianqi, time had arrived in the new year, which was 1466.

After months of bloody repression and massacres of the opposition, order was restored in Northland under the iron fist of the Commission.

Even though all the three civil war factions have surrendered, the internal composition of the three factions is complex, and not everyone is willing to give up their territory and most of their wealth when faced with the committee's surrender conditions.

In other words, only a few are willing to give up.

The orc faction was okay, because the orc faction just happened to run into Roland, who led the team to the end personally. More than 90% of the extraordinary people, nobles and lords in the faction were slaughtered by Roland and their clans were exterminated.

Including the heir of the orc faction, when Roland captured the faction capital, he himself was directly evaporated by Roland's high-level spell. Therefore, when the orc faction collapsed and surrendered, only a few small nobles who were still in the chair were left. alive.

Facing the committee's butcher knife, these little nobles were frightened out of their courage, and each of them accepted all the conditions unconditionally.

In addition to the orc faction, the other two factions are not so peaceful. Even if the leader of the faction and the heir to the royal family choose to surrender, more than two-thirds of the nobles and lords within the faction are unwilling to accept the committee's relatively tolerant offer. condition.

Moreover, in addition to these factions, as a loose feudal kingdom in the North, there are still a large number of local resistance forces, especially those wandering nomadic tribes, whether they are humans, half-orcs or orc tribes, all of them are completely independent. Disobey the committee's orders.

There were even some nomadic tribes who thought the committee was no different from the Northern Kingdom, and took advantage of the chaos to plunder the areas controlled by the committee.

In the North, even the king could hardly pose a threat to large tribes. Even when the North Kingdom was at its most centralized, the king could only make them pay taxes and provide soldiers, but nothing more could be done. If The king is weak, let alone paying taxes, they will even take the initiative to plunder cities in the North.

In the North, the king can control only his own tribe and city, while every large tribe in the wilderness is an independent kingdom, where the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter.

Every time the king tried to attack the tribes, all the tribes would unite and fight against the king.

Therefore, in their opinion, the chaos in the North this time has nothing to do with them. It is just that the North Kingdom above them has been replaced by a war committee. What it was like before, it should be what it is now.

Therefore, they refused all the orders of the committee without hesitation. Just for the sake of the army, they were willing to pay a very pitiful tax, not even a single soldier.

Even after plundering the city and suffering the iron fist of the committee's army, they dared to take the initiative to threaten the committee, asking the committee to let the city be plundered according to the tradition of the North, otherwise they would defect to the committee's enemies.

In response to this, the administrators within the committee responsible for coordinating the entire Northland and establishing the Permafrost Border Region were laughed out of anger.

On the contrary, Tiangang has not yet settled accounts with these tribes who want to plunder.

Therefore, faced with the situation in Northland, the committee that had just made all three civil war factions surrender also discovered that

It seems useless to ask these factions to surrender. Except for the areas controlled by the committee by force, other surrenders have theoretically belonged to the committee. Unless the army is leveled, they will not obey any orders at all.

So, in the absence of Roland and Hela, the Executive Committee formulated a policy that was in line with the situation in the North based on the actual situation and customs of the North.

Confiscate all weapons and equipment, implement strict curfew, alcohol ban and extraordinary registration policy, and kill all hostile elements before interrogating them.

To put it simply, it is one word: kill!

Those who hide weapons will be killed; those who resist will be killed; those who protect them will be killed; those who violate the rules will be killed; those who do not report the knowledge will be killed.

Kill; kill those who are idle.

All Northland Extraordinaries are required to register compulsorily. Except for activities in a fixed area, any other activities must first submit an application to the committee.

Since the North likes tyrannical rule so much, then the committee will give it to them.

Under the policy guidance of the Executive Committee, the Committee strengthened the siege of Northland. After ensuring that no one could escape, the Committee's troops began to intensively cultivate every inch of Northland.

All the resisting nobles and lords were slaughtered and their clans were exterminated; all wilderness tribes, whether large or small, were violently disbanded, and all tribes were forcibly disbanded, whether they were large tribes with a population of more than 10,000 people or small tribes with only a few hundred people. They were all divided into small families.

The small families that were separated were forcibly separated and moved to various parts of the Northland, using physical distance to prevent them from forming large tribes again to disgust the committee.

All weapons and equipment were forcibly collected, smelted and completely destroyed. All extraordinary beings were forcibly registered. Those who disobeyed had to either leave the North or die. Even mid- to high-level extraordinary beings had no other choice.

Under the committee's intensive efforts, blood flowed across the Northland.

After several months of repeated massacres, Northland was stabilized by the committee's forcible killings.

On January 1, 1466, in the Northland, which had been silenced by the committee, the committee issued a notice announcing the formal establishment of the Permanent Freeze Border Region.

The first Governor of the Permanent Border Region also officially took office.

Considering that the Permanently Frozen Border Area will maintain military control for a long period of time, and that the Northland needs to change its customs and implement enlightenment and rule of law, it was finalized after consultations between the Administrative Department and the Military Department and the Executive Committee.

An executive from the Ministry of Law, proficient in law and administration, and also receiving military education, Misty was appointed as the first border governor of the Permafrost Border.

Misty himself was a little confused when he received the appointment notice from the Executive Committee until when Apocalypse City officially took over the power of the governor of the Permanent Freeze Border Region from the military department.

Sitting in the border governor's mansion in the newly built Winter City, Misty looked around hesitantly, holding the governor's seal in her right hand. She was still a little uncomfortable with it.

She is an executive responsible for arresting and executing criminals in the Ministry of Law. She has done a good job in Donnar and has been rated as an outstanding executive several times in the Ministry of Law. How come she was suddenly transferred to the Northland with a transfer order? Become a governor?

It's not that she is being modest, it's just that she, an executive officer of the Ministry of Law, came to the Northland?

However, since the executive committee decided to let her be the governor, Misty could only try her best. It was a coincidence that she became the executive officer of the Ministry of Law. When she first took office, she didn't understand anything. You should study it with a copy of the "Golden Law".

Now it's just starting from scratch, Misty wants to try out the difference between being a governor and being an executive of the Ministry of Law.

Misty thought as she opened the administrative textbook she brought from the Donnar Administration Department to study, opened the communication device, and started her first day of work.

And with the official launch of the Permanently Frozen Border Zone, the War Council also has an additional vassal country to support.

Fortunately, after ten years of development, the War Council has become very wealthy. In addition, it has eliminated most of the nobles and lords in the North and confiscated their homes. The treasury of the Permanent Freeze Border Region is very wealthy.

Therefore, the permanently frozen border area does not pose such a big burden to the war committee. With a little input of food and technology, the population of the border area can be fed with food, and the integration of the Northland can be started with the wealth obtained from house raids and the technology assisted by the committee. and developed.

For the War Committee, Northland still has considerable development value. Many lands that cannot be used by the Northland Kingdom can be developed and utilized in the opinion of the Committee.

The Botanical Garden has already cultivated cold-resistant grain species after the committee launched troops in the North. With the elemental environment of the North, as long as the wasteland can be reclaimed, the harvest will not be much different.

When the War Council conquered the North and established the Permafrost Frontier, neither the Silver Empire nor the Moon Elf Kingdom made any reaction and watched silently.

The Regent Council within the Silver Empire is still working hard to balance the political situation within the empire and gradually and slowly restore its rule. Even the establishment of the Blade Frontier District, the Regent Council has no extra energy to deal with it. After hastily agreeing to its establishment, it completely ignores it. The edge of the blade.

There was no response within the Moon Elf Kingdom. Before the civil war began to brew, the Moon Elf Kingdom recalled all the Moon Elves in the North, leaving only the official embassy in Winter City.

During the war between the Council of Winter City and the false gods, the Moon Elf Embassy ran away and there has been no news of its return.

However, although the embassy did not come back, the Moon Elf Kingdom contacted the committee through the dwarfs, and after reaching a consensus, all the Northlanders it had sheltered were thrown back to the Northland.

Subsequently, it was not until the Permafrost Border was formally established that the Moon Elf Kingdom formally contacted the War Council.

Due to the very conservative foreign policy of the Moon Elf Kingdom, the Moon Elf only maintains contact with the countries along the North Sea. Therefore, the original war committee in Donnar is not a diplomatic object of the Moon Elf Kingdom.

But with the establishment of the Permafrost Border, Moon Elf officials also began to contact the committee.

Since the current foreign policies of the Moon Elves and the War Council are very conservative, the two sides easily reached a consensus. Both sides respect each other's culture and order, and personnel exchanges between the two sides must respect each other's restrictions and constraints.

Open markets to each other and allow merchants from both sides to engage in commercial activities in the commercial cities designated by each other. At the same time,

The Moon Elves will establish an embassy in Winter City to serve as an official channel of communication between the two countries.

At the same time, the Moon Elf Kingdom also demarcated territorial boundaries with the War Council. The Moon Elf did not rely on its naval superiority to cause trouble. All the sea areas of the original Northland Kingdom were assigned to the Council without a navy.

After the meeting, both parties were very satisfied with the outcome.

Subsequently, the originally disappeared Elf Embassy returned to Winter City and was transformed in accordance with the committee's requirements and regulations.

At the same time, under the orders of the Executive Council, Misty also issued an order from the Governor to recruit workers to build a road from Winter City to the Council, expand Winter City Port, and build ships on a large scale.

Once roads and ships were built, the committee would join the prosperous North Sea trading circuit themselves.

Roland, who was preparing to take a rest in his bedroom as he read through the developments of the war committee in the past few months, nodded slightly with satisfaction.

In the absence of Roland and Hela, the war committee successfully established the Permafrost Border Region, selected a suitable governor, arranged administrative officials and stationed troops, and established the development of the border region based on the actual situation of the Permafrost Border Region. plan, and even completed a diplomatic plan with the Moon Elf Kingdom.

Although Roland had already prepared for some things, such as diplomacy with the moon elves, this was enough to prove that even without Roland and Hela's supervision, the War Committee already had the ability to move forward and develop on its own.

However, although he was quite satisfied with the situation of the War Committee, which was generally within Roland's expectations, Hela was a little beyond his expectations.

Although Roland thought that Hela might try to be promoted and break through, he never expected that Hela would be so radical.

She used Gray Crow as an insider to sneak into the Dark Elemental Realm, and relied on the few words Roland had told her before and the news of Gray Crow to deduce the method for absorbing the essence of the dark element.

Moreover, without any experiments, she directly used herself as a test subject, relying on the Death Shield of the Crown of Domination and the virtualization ability of Gray Crow.

Using the concept of the dead spirit that was forcibly created by the high-level undead and the contract with Gray Crow, he applied it to himself, using the Tears of the Moon Goddess as the raw material and neutralizer, crushing the body, magic, and soul, and fusing with the Tears of the Moon Goddess and the essence of the elements, gambling like crazy.

If Gray Crow was attacked and affected by other undead, he would not be able to keep the Crown of Domination in the virtual state, causing the Crown of Domination to be disturbed and destroying the Shield of Death Rejection. If Hela's will hesitated a little and could not complete the reunion.:

As long as there was a slight accident, Hela might die directly in the Dark Elemental Realm.

Moreover, in order to increase the probability of promotion, Hela also took away her life mark in the Fountain of Life,

which means that if Hela died, she would really die.

Of course, if she died in the Dark Elemental Realm, Hela would most likely be reincarnated as an undead or a dead spirit on the spot.

However, after taking such a big risk, Hela's successful gains were also somewhat exaggerated. She directly completed the second sublimation of her body and soul, and successfully constructed two legendary elements, becoming an eight-ring extraordinary person.

Moreover, [Spark] is the easiest legendary element to complete. In just a few months, Hela can complete the construction of [Spark], become a nine-ring transcendent, and catch up with Roland.

Even Hela, who completed the second physical sublimation before Roland, can be said to have surpassed Roland's progress after completing the construction of [Spark].

You know, Roland's knight cultivation is still stuck at the sixth ring, and he has not yet completed the second physical sublimation.

However, Hela surpassed him, and Roland didn't feel unhappy about this. On the contrary, he was a little happy. Hela had completed the most difficult [Concept] [Person], which meant that if there was no accident, Hela would become a legend sooner or later.

If she became a legend, there would be no need to worry about Hela's lifespan.

That is.

Roland put down the report in his hand and looked at the bedroom door.

At the same time, Hela pushed the door open, poked her head out, and looked at Roland.

"What's wrong?"

"I missed you."

"Didn't we just meet half an hour ago?"

Hela didn't answer, looking at Roland eagerly.

Roland patted his forehead helplessly and said.

"Come in and talk."

"Yeah."

Hela nodded, walked into the room briskly, closed and locked the door, came over and sat next to Roland, she took the initiative to hug Roland, and whispered in Roland's ear.

"I want to sleep with Roland tonight, okay?

It's just that the aggressiveness is a lot stronger.

Roland pinched Hela's cold cheek and said.

"It's okay, but is it just sleeping together?"

Hela blinked, her earlobe slightly red, and whispered.

"If Roland wants to go further, it's not impossible..."

"I'm not in a hurry."
