Zoya's welcoming ceremony was perfect, although the obsidian collar was still a little rough, and there was no decoration other than the towering majestic city walls and a large number of temple buildings, but considering that the obsidian collar had gone from nothing to its current size, it only took a few months, and there was nothing to be picky about.

And the royal family's reward to the obsidian collar also allowed the sycamore to witness the heritage of a kingdom, a huge number of materials and craftsmen from various industries, a steady stream of transportation from Fairhaven, stored in the obsidian collar's huge dungeon, at present, the obsidian collar's dungeon has no use, but can be used as a super giant warehouse.

And the personal reward for Wutong was also delivered to him after the knighthood ceremony, but unfortunately he still had too many things to do, and he didn't have time to count them for the time being.

The Royal Celebrant informed Sycamore that the 1,000 Dragon Eagle Knights and 1,000 Griffin Knights, who were responsible for guarding Her Royal Highness the Princess and the noble viewing group, would remain as the guards of His Majesty's new Viscount, assisting him in managing and maintaining the operation and security of the realm, which was an additional gift from Her Majesty.

It's just that what makes Wutong dumbfounded is that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the noble viewing group will actually stay, and Her Royal Highness the princess will sit in the obsidian collar on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, supervising the front-line soldiers to defend the undead army of Cannas, which is equivalent to the duty of the overseer, and the noble viewing group is nominally here to participate in the knighthood ceremony of Wutong, but in fact they are just the wrong side in this coup and were cut off.

Since these nobles were not core members of the Grand Duke's coup party, Her Majesty the benevolent Queen did not intend to exterminate them all, so he simply took back their fiefs and positions, deprived them of their family property, stripped them of their original titles, and made them all the lowest [sixth knights] among the inferior nobles, retaining their last bit of dignity as nobles, and sending their families to the frontier front to perform meritorious deeds.

These nobles originally belonged to huge families of various centuries or even millennia, and each noble family ranged from core members to family members, to vassal knight families at all levels under their family's jurisdiction, private armed forces, as well as tenants, slaves... The population is extremely large, and these people will also become the first batch of lords of the Obsidian Territory, and the nobles among them will become the low-level officials who will assist Wutong in managing the territory, and if a territory wants to develop, it is inseparable from these people.

Although Wutong, as the lord of the obsidian lord, holds the power of life and death of these people, and once he finds something wrong or has low ability, he can be removed or punished, but it has to be said that Her Majesty threw him a huge hot potato.

In order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Her Majesty directly distributed hundreds of people from high-ranking noble families such as [Marquis], [Earl], [Viscount], and [Baron], and thousands of people from second-class noble families such as [Lord], [Quasi-Lord], and [Sir] to the territory of Wutong, so that the opposition within Andele was empty, and Andele's aristocratic class was reduced by as much as 2/3, and a large number of fiefs recovered also made the royal family greatly rich. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so generous with the obsidian collar.

Although it is already merciful to not behead these nobles who are on the wrong side, this move is also quite decisive, leaving these people with no chance to try again.

Her Majesty is trouble-free, but these people make Wutong a big head, there are many existences in which the original title is higher than him, there are three [Marquis] alone, there are eight [Counts], dozens of [Viscounts], there are hundreds of [Barons], and the lower [secondary nobles], then there is no need to calculate, is he such a "light commander" suppressing these people?

A noble family is extremely large, even if it is just an insignificant [sir] small family, there are probably dozens or hundreds of people who are related by blood (not lineal), the [baron] family can reach hundreds or thousands, and those [marquis], [earl], [viscount] families that have a longer inheritance, the family members are even tens of thousands!

This is not counting the knight families, noble families, scholar families, and Shu families at all levels attached to their names, as well as hired personal guards, private soldiers, servants, maids, tenants, slaves... Often, a small aristocratic family will implicate tens of thousands of people, and a larger aristocratic family can even reach hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

In order to avoid any traitors hidden among these people, Her Majesty issued a migration order to move them from their original lands, and those personal guards, servants, maids, tenants, and slaves who served these nobles were also relocated as a whole, marking them with a certain imprint, although it does not restrict their freedom, but forbids them to leave the scope of the obsidian territory, otherwise they will be regarded as fugitives.

Wutong, who almost scratched off his hair, could only throw all these people to Zhuoya to deal with, but fortunately, the obsidian collar was almost completely empty (those players were not considered lords, and skeletons could not be counted), and they directly mixed everyone together and reorganized and reorganized.

In the future, "Secret Shadow" will need to employ many people, and it is impossible to use all the player employees recruited by the company from reality, so it is an inevitable trend to accept aborigines into the influence.

These people, whether the women were originally noble ladies or maids, servants or peasant women, were all assigned to various industries in the territory as maids according to their specialties, and with the arrival of the players of "Northern Union", the population of the obsidian territory was as high as thirty or forty million, which was originally only one hundred and fifty square kilometers of small territory, it was like canned sardines.

This will inevitably require the addition of a large number of bars, inns, restaurants, shops... and so on to serve the surname industry, and then there will be jobs.

Because the obsidian collar does not have planting, animal husbandry, breeding and other related industries, the original farmer or something has nothing to do, but the obsidian collar has work, the original knights, cavalry, and soldiers are all incorporated into the "Knights of the Underworld" to fill the army, and the strong male surname is trained, and when the time comes, the "Law Enforcement Knights", "Guard Corps" and other institutions will be formed to protect the obsidian and maintain order.

As for the nobles themselves, they are used to serve as management officials at all levels of grass-roots institutions, so that they can exert their residual heat, no matter what [marquis] and [earl] you were before, when you come to Lao Tzu, it is the dragon that has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down...

Of course, this is just Wutong's own thoughts, these nobles who are on the wrong side are not the core members of the Grand Duke's coup party, nor are they die-hard, they just support the wrong object, not really want to betray the queen or the Kingdom of Adele, so under this turmoil, it is already very fortunate to be able to leave a small life.

What's more, they have all been "branded" on their bodies, and it is impossible to play any tricks at all, and Her Majesty has left them a chance to make a comeback, and has not completely cut off their titles and made them commoners or slaves, which means that if they work hard in the frontline of the Obsidian Territory, there is no chance to re-upgrade the noble title.

The real rebels have been secretly executed by Her Majesty's "Royal Eye", how can they be thrown into the hands of Wutong, give them the opportunity to plot against them, and not "deprive these nobles of political rights for life", but also to leave them a glimmer of hope for survival, to avoid a large-scale rebellion from Adele, or simply to "revolt" in series and break out into greater turmoil.

Moreover, these nobles are not stupid, according to the current momentum, when the time comes, the lord of the obsidian lord will not have the opportunity to become the king of a county in the future, and in addition to the three major counties of [Wilshire], [Breeze County], and [Arcarix County], there may be a fourth county [Northern County], and at that time, I am afraid that [Northern County] will become the largest county among the four major counties and provinces, and it is enough to call it a province.

As long as you serve this lord faithfully, it is impossible for the family to regain its glory.

In this case, the attitude of the nobles is very correct, and they have no complaints about the distribution and arrangement of Zhuoya, an experienced territorial steward, and they can understand that if they are separated, they will do the same, after all, they are still guilty, and no one dares to guarantee that there will be no people with strange intentions hidden among these people.

Therefore, when the order of the lord was issued, all the nobles, in addition to keeping their direct blood relatives by their side, dismissed all the servants and vassal families, dissolved the relationship between the guards, loyal knights, and private soldiers, and now even they themselves are the people of the lord's Excellency, these are of course the property of the lord's lordship, and it is better to consciously hand them over than wait for the lord's lord to plunder.

This was a surprise for Wutong, not only did the nobles not resent, but also took the initiative to express their allegiance, and supervised each other, trying to come up with one or two, so that they could report and make a meritorious service or something.

These people are all elites cultivated by generations of noble families that have been inherited for a long time, and they naturally know what to do when and when, in order to avoid suspicion, all these noble families, from the moment they joined the obsidian realm, they will not get along with each other, just because they are afraid that the lord will mistakenly think that they are not good for each other.

For these nobles, the reason why Her Majesty would send them to this new territory with confidence is definitely not without reason, as the people of Andelle, the country of the arcane, none of them in high positions do not know a little about the arcane law.

Your Excellency is the senior disciple of Lord Zemmour, and the Venane mage group will be stationed in this territory for a period of time in the future, and if you offend Her Majesty, you will be executed at most, but if you offend the mage, you may be made into an immortal puppet, used as an experimental material or something, then it is better to live than to die.

And this large number of nobles also made some of the scrambling Wutong straighten out the affairs of the territory in a short period of time, after all, these people are experienced territory managers, with them, there is no need for Wutong's orders, they took the initiative to start the handling and arrangement of various affairs, and the entire obsidian territory that suddenly poured into the population of twenty or thirty million (the players of "Blood Alliance" and "Northern Union" + the total population of the aborigines) was in order.

Of course, at this critical time, if you don't use all your abilities and means to express yourself, it is likely that you will precipitate in obscurity forever, and only in front of the new master, Your Excellency, can you express yourself as much as possible, and it is possible to be favored and reused.

For a few days, the dizzy Wutong didn't know what he was busy with, and when he woke up to himself, in fact, he didn't help anything, and when he made trouble, he suddenly patted his ass and returned to the core of the territory.

Due to the impact of large-scale population migration, Sycamore can't even take into account the group of players who are fighting with the undead army of Cannas outside these days, and the entire Obsidian Territory has once again become a huge construction site, and the scale is bigger than last time!

In order to settle such a large crowd in a short period of time, not only did all the skeletons of the Obsidian Collar pour out of the nest and act as laborers to help build buildings, but also recruited the player groups of "Blood Alliance" and "Northern Alliance" on a large scale, plus a large number of people who migrated over, the Obsidian Collar is like a pot of boiling hot water, and a large number of buildings are rising from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, maybe you just walked through a street, and when you turn around, you find that you don't know the place you just walked through.

Due to the fact that Her Majesty sent a large number of craftsmen of various professions to the Obsidian Territory, coupled with the fact that Her Majesty's face and the identity of the old man's disciple of Wutong Zemur, all the members of the Venane Mage Regiment were dispatched to use the power of the arcane law to assist in the construction of the Obsidian Territory, which led to the rapid change of the Obsidian Territory.

In the early days, many players couldn't understand how the world in the context of the Middle Ages in "Endless" could have buildings hundreds of meters high, and now it was an eye-opener, and the special spell abilities [fossils into mud] and [turning mud into stones] mastered by architects and craftsmen directly turned large masses of mud into complete pieces of hard rock, compared with the rough stacking block-style construction techniques of the sycamores, this method is even more magical!

The construction of a house or something has formed a complete system, first by the [designer] for planning and design, then by the [engineer] for "force field shaping", then by the [architect] pouring and molding, and finally by the craftsmen for the details.

The so-called "force field shaping", in fact, is that the engineer splices a piece of force field wall into a complete building structure, this force field wall and the force field wall released by the mages, there is no way to compare the strength, just a thin layer of invisible force field, but it is enough to use as a module for building molding, as long as the gap in the module is poured into the mud, and then under the ability of the architects to [turn mud into stone], in the blink of an eye, a huge area, up to hundreds of meters of rock building, will be instantly formed...

This process, with the addition of a large number of middle and high-level mages from the Venern Mage Group, has accelerated hundreds or thousands of times, because compared with the master of the arcane masters who only master a certain low-level weakening ability, the ability of the middle and high-level mages is more like the creation of the gods.

The decoration of the details of the entire obsidian collar is, of course, a matter of eternity, but at present, it is only to accommodate a large crowd, and there is no need to pursue details.

It's just that the current construction is still only within the scope of the Obsidian Territory, and the original Blood Alliance camp outside the city wall is crowded by "Blood Alliance" and "Northern Alliance", plus a large number of players and horses who come from all over Adele to try to gain some benefits in the battlefield plot of [Northern Campaign].

As the "host", the players of the "Blood Alliance" are somewhat arrogant, and the camp they built outside the first city wall of the Obsidian Leader is obviously impossible to evenly distribute to the members of the "Northern Alliance" who have attacked them, and the first city has become a territory firmly occupied by the forces of the "Blood Alliance", and it is impossible for outsiders to get involved.

Therefore, the members of the "Northern Alliance" who came from afar, when they could not enter the Blood Alliance camp and could not enter the first city to be stationed, had to retreat to the next best thing behind the new defense line formed by the "Knights of the Underworld", and temporarily set up a tent camp, although they could enter the Blood City Market in the first city of the Obsidian Territory for replenishment, but the uncooperative attitude of the "Blood Alliance" also made them have a lot of resentment.

At this point, it is impossible for the "Blood Alliance" to make concessions, because they know very well that as the Adele royal family officially takes over the Obsidian Territory, the first city originally occupied by them will inevitably be withdrawn, so the Blood Alliance camp built outside the walls of the Obsidian Territory will become their main territory, which is a very helpless thing, how can you say that they can give up the same territory as the sardine cans that they have already squeezed, and then distribute it to the members of the "Northern Alliance" who were originally enemies?

And in the face of the contradiction between the two major player alliances, the "Asian Alliance" that was sandwiched in the center was called a miserable, and Lao Bei couldn't wait to run eight times a day to find the boss of "Secret Shadow" to find a way to solve the problem, after all, only the boss of this force can talk to the aboriginal forces that rule the obsidian territory.

And the allegiance and land lease mentioned before,Because Wutong was suddenly entangled in the affairs derived from the migratory population,And there has been no follow-up,With the arrival of more and more player forces,The original "Blood Alliance" player leaders are nervous,After all, the boss of the secret shadow said,The number of mining in the obsidian territory is limited,150 low-level mining estates,100 intermediate mining estates,Only 50 high-level mining estates,Although there is no limit to renting land,But the territory of the obsidian territory is limited after all,Not everyone can rent it。

The news that the obsidian territory has a territory "rented" has already been passed on, not to mention the leaders of ordinary players now, even the super players such as Infinity, Paladin, and Invincible Hammer are also very nervous, and the person in charge of the Secret Shadow Chamber of Commerce, Lean Pig, is chased and intercepted by them like a rabbit, and he doesn't dare to show his face at all, once he is caught, it is a cruel torture to extract a confession.

Because the number of super games in the Asian and American region is the highest among the four regions, how can there be less of their share of such a good thing, whether it is the super play that has appeared, or the low-key super play that has been hidden, it is like a shark that smells the smell of blood, and it is not known what conditions are needed for these three levels of mining, but all of them add up to a total of only 300 mining towns, which is definitely not enough for such a large group of super play points.

Just when Lean Pig was almost driven crazy, the Shadow Boss, who had disappeared for several days again, finally reappeared.

Looking at the super play group rushing over like a pack of wolves, and a large piece of Hulala that I didn't know, Wutong couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat, and before the other party spoke, Wutong yelled with [phantom technique]: "Don't make any noise!" Listen to me! ”

The scene was silent...

Wutong sweated again, and hurriedly said: "I have consulted the general situation clearly, and it is roughly as follows:

First, if you want to obtain a fiefdom of the fiefdom, you must first be loyal to the Obsidian Lord 'Obsidian Viscount', and join the Obsidian Lord's Guardian Legion "Knights of the Pyre", "Knights of Law Enforcement", and "Guardian Legion".

Second, the size of the mining area that can be obtained is determined by the military merits and battle medals obtained in the process of serving the major legions of the Obsidian Leader, as well as their own strength level, the first level can join the "Guardian Legion", the second level can join the "Law Enforcement Knights", and the third level can join the "Knights of the Underworld", corresponding to the low, intermediate, and high-level mining estates respectively..."

Before he finished speaking, the players were already arguing: "What are you doing?" Can you only be loyal to knights and warriors? ”

"That's it? Isn't our other professions out of play? ”

Sycamore was about to explain, but I don't know who shouted: "Hey, hey! Boss of the Secret Shadow, are you "Secret Shadow" loyal to the Obsidian Viscount of the Obsidian Lord? Have you ever obtained a fief? ”

"Well, it is true that our Shadow has declared allegiance to His Excellency Viscount Obsidian and become a vassal under Viscount Obsidian, but due to some special circumstances, and my own status as Adele [Baron of the Third Rank], we have been treated differently from everyone else, and we have no reference surname."

The players were in an uproar, and were allowed to trade in the entire territory of the Obsidian Territory, which was much more cost-effective than owning a territory, but it was useless for them to envy and hate, who told them that they didn't have a super bull teacher, and they didn't have nobility.

Wutong praised the guy who shouted at that voice, and answered it really well: "We, the Secret Shadow, will not own a fief, but we will be allowed to develop trade in the entire territory of the Obsidian Territory. As for your concerns about non-knight and war-grade professions not being able to pledge allegiance, as far as I know, the Obsidian Lord's fighting organization is not limited to the Knights, and any class can be treated accordingly. ”

"Tell us about the details!?"

When the players heard him say this, they breathed a sigh of relief and shouted for Sycamore to explain the details.

"As long as you apply for a lease of land with the steward of Your Excellency the Obsidian Viscount Lord, the basic conditions are probably based on the unit, and each mu of land pays a rent of one hundred gold coins per year, the longest lease period is one year, the shortest quarter, that is, three months, it can be renewed, and the amount of renewal lease is negotiable."

The corners of Wutong's mouth turned up involuntarily, but fortunately, the mage's hood hid his face: "In addition to the rental money, you must also bear 20% of the income tax in peacetime and 40% in wartime, which is collected monthly. The tenants need to serve for obsidian for ten days per month, and the service personnel are calculated according to the number of acres, and one service member per mu can be replaced by a 'decommissioning bonus', with 10 gold coins per person. ”

"Wow rub! It's so dark?! ”

"That's it! With the consumption level of the aboriginal civilians, a hundred gold coins is enough to buy an acre of land, right? Rent for only a year in this 100 gold coins? And also to bear the 40% income tax? It's so dark! It's so dark! ”

"! Do you think you rent oats? A hundred gold coins can buy an acre, but the question is can you buy it? Except for Obsidian, you don't have a place to rent even if you want to, right? ”

"That's it, don't rent it if it's too dark! I'm worried that Obsidian doesn't have that much land to rent! ”

"Hey, hey! Stop arguing! Listen to what the Secret Shadow Boss continues! Who isn't here to rent land to build the guild headquarters and build shops? Besides, the obsidian territory doesn't even grow grass, so you grow a hair? Cacti can't be grown, right? ”

The player group was in an uproar again, and the noisy argument was exactly what Sycamore expected, and he didn't stop the players' argument, but stopped and waited for the players to calm down.

When the players stopped, Wutong smiled slightly and continued: "I just talked about the conditions for renting land, as for those who want to be loyal to the Obsidian... Since once you join the Obsidian, you can have the right to form legal armies, so those who swear allegiance must first have their own forces, organizations, or teams, with a minimum number of no less than 1,000 people, and must prepare a full set of equipment and logistics by themselves. ”

After a pause, Wutong licked his lips and began to get excited: "The conditions for obtaining the fief are similar to renting land, but there is no need to pay a rental fee, 10% in peacetime and 20% in wartime. However, he must always obey the obsidian lord's call to participate in the battle. ”

The players are dumbfounded, it sounds like allegiance is more cost-effective than renting land, but in comparison, they have to be called up by the obsidian collar to participate in the battle, or bring their own equipment and logistics, and if they die, they have to dig their own pits, and the obsidian collar doesn't care about the kind of pension!

Under the hood that the players can't see, Sycamore's eyes are covered with gold coins, and the corners of his mouth are "evil" "smirk", do you think this is exploitation? Scratch the years! "Endless" is the background of the feudal era! This is just the beginning!

"Papapa" slapped his palms a few times, re-attracting the attention of the players, and Wutong said: "If you are interested in renting land, please come to my left-hand side to gather, and I will introduce you to the Obsidian Collar Butler Group in a while, and they will be responsible for handling the relevant contracts of everyone's land rental." And those who are interested in allegiance to the Obsidian Lord, please come to my right hand to gather, and I will also introduce you to the Obsidian Lord's "Flame Knights" Grand Knight Captain, after passing the preliminary review, the Lord's Excellency will agree to award the medal... Yes! That's right! Forgot to tell everyone! The obsidian troops formed this time will be supervised by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and will receive the corresponding titles and establishments! ”

(To be continued)
