Chapter 871: Windfall
Xu Yichen's strength in Godrim City is actually not dominant, if those nobles fight back desperately, together with the remaining strength of the church here, it is not impossible to make the demon hunters overturn, but his unscrupulous momentum, as well as the deterrence brought by the battle of Wangxiang City, simply made everyone a turtle with a shrunken head.
As long as the knife is not aimed at them, they will hide where they think it is safe and pretend to know nothing about what is happening outside.
As the Dawnbreak cruised off the harbor, almost all of the ships slowed down, moved out of the way, and waited for the giant ship to pass before daring to move on.
Behind the Dawnbreaker, hundreds of half-decomposed corpses were suspended from the special shelves, those in the shape of crosses stuck in the shallows, the empty eyes of the dead staring in the direction of the sea, and a large number of seabirds gathered nearby to feast on several meals.
Every captain who passed by heard the story of what had happened in the bar where the port had reopened, and gained a new understanding of the ruthlessness of the Serisians.
For some private purposes, the captains were secretly asking if there were any new mercenary locations, so they didn't care if the mercenaries lived or died, but the Church of Wauking had previously rewarded every ship full of mercenaries, and now that Pastor Kidd was missing, they wanted to know where they would receive their bounties in the future.
For Xu Yichen, the aristocracy of Godrim City is a redundant part, and they can neither provide any positive help in the new order in the future, nor can they reflect their value in the existing transitional system.
Let them live without any gain, and killing them will at least solve the city's expenses for the next two years.
Therefore, the citizens of Godrim City soon had the privilege of enjoying the wonderful music of the noble lord, as long as they were willing to check most of the nobles, even according to Godreim's own laws, a death sentence could not escape.
Even Elizabeth herself was shocked, since the Prince family came from afar to establish Godrim City, many of these aristocratic classes who fought the world with the old lords are still alive, but they seem to have forgotten their original intention of expanding the territory, and the dirty things they did in private are endless!
She was originally opposed to Xu Yichen's in-depth interference in the internal affairs of Godrim City, although she knew that her protest was meaningless, but at least she had to act well on the surface, she had to maintain her innocent image as a victim of the Cyres under the power of the Serisians, otherwise the Prince family would have no place in Godrim City in the future.
As for now?
Miss Elizabeth watched with a grim face as a team of Marines had rescued a dozen young girls from a baron's secret basement based on the information they had been tortured about, and more than thirty corpses that had been reduced to rotting bones deeper underground.
Anahota angrily left five finger prints on the door frame, although the Amazon tribe treats men no better, but they are at least above board, not to mention that there are a few Amazon women mixed in these girls!
"Please show the fairest side of Mr. Demon Hunter and thoroughly cleanse those moths!" Elizabeth completely handed over the fate of the nobles to Xu Yichen to deal with: "Don't let them die too simply." ”
This is just a case on the table of the maiden lord, the Far South is a free and open land, except for a few cities, this is a land outside the law.
Why did the pirate Mama, the dark wizard Victor, choose this place as his lair? Isn't it because there is no strong government notice here, and there are no legendary powerhouses who are too nosy?
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and the church representing the gods and the nobility in the Old World, the organizations of the royal family supervise each other and check and balance each other, and everyone still has a bottom line.
But this is the Far South, an unregulated land, and when these nobles, who were not so noble-born, swelled rapidly, they fell faster than anyone could have imagined.
Thirty-five families who have been awarded the title of nobility, and there is not a single family that truly adheres to the glory of nobility and the way of knighthood!
The knight of Arvis is naturally honest and honest, but he is a retainer of the Prince family, and his knighthood is granted by the Lion Knights, so he is not a real nobleman, and he has not married yet, he is alone, has no brothers, no heirs, and is not a family.
Of course, Xu Yichen would not look at these moths with such high requirements, but among the thirty-five aristocratic families, more than twenty of them had entrusted the Kshatriya Gang or other players to eliminate dissidents or expel disobedient peasants from their territories by assassination within two months, which was too high.
Even the Marines found an altar suspected of being a cult god from the mansions of the three nobles, as well as the scene of a blood sacrifice ceremony.
After Xu Yichen's inspection, it was a blood sacrifice ceremony to pray for Slaanesh, and the main messenger of the sacrifice was a certain first-generation pioneer himself, a transcendent being as old as seventy-two years old, as the years passed, the once strong body had weakened, and the years had squeezed all the transcendent elements out of his body.
But the old knight had managed to impregnate his newly acquired maid two weeks earlier, and the purpose of the blood sacrifice ceremony could be imagined.
For the sake of his own happiness in his old age, the old knight sacrificed at least two pairs of young men and girls to the Lord of Pleasure in his heart.
If Xu Yichen hadn't come early, I'm afraid that if it had been delayed for a few more months, Godreim City would not have erupted in a large-scale chaotic erosion like Anthony Harbour.
The demon hunter frowned, this was definitely not an exception, if this kind of blood sacrifice ritual was not specially guided by someone, it would be impossible for that old knight to arrange it alone.
In the records of Kellmohan, the nobles of the Old World were not without contact with Slaanesh, and the earliest record is that after the destruction of the Ottoman Empire, when the Upper Gaul Empire had just stabilized, an unveiled assembly organized by a prince attracted the attention of lust.
It was the first well-documented Sataneshin ritual in the world, and the men and women of more than 300 fruit bodies who attended the assembly became idiots with only reproductive instincts left, and by the time the Empire's higher-ups noticed the mutation there, more than two thousand people had joined the revelry, except for a few talented ones who survived, and the rest all died of dehydration.
The survivors were later dealt with privately by the Demon Hunters, but the nobility has been entangled with Slaanesh ever since.
