"Quincy, you can go up to the stage and make your closing remarks. I believe that those citizens of Cloud Scale City, after witnessing the great battle just now, should very much hope that someone can come forward to appease them now. Gordon said to Quincy. Although this middle-aged knight has little talent in political management, he is very useful in other aspects. At least as your own official spokesperson, you are still fully competent.

Quincy certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to show off her language skills in front of everyone. He straightened his clothes and walked up to the wooden platform that had been erected in front of the makeshift square.

"Citizens, as you have just seen, what is hiding in Strindberg is not the spirit of the peninsula, but a ferocious and terrible spirit. The so-called legends that you have believed in for so long are false! You were taken by Abel. Aldrich fooled ......"

Quincy was very eloquent and quite accomplished in linguistics. He not only understands the native languages of the aborigines of the peninsula, but also knows all kinds of special lingua franca words and allusions born in the process of communication and integration between various imperial immigrants and the local natives.

His appearance easily brought Gordon, an "imperial man" from the north, closer to the local inhabitants of the peninsula, and then naturally established a sense of trust. In a spitting speech on the wooden platform, Quincy did a great job of accomplishing several of the goals that Gordon had given him.

In the minds of these people, the Aldrich family oppressed them, deceived them, and fooled them. The Freeman family was built to be powerful, wise and wise. And the image of the ruler of the real Hyven Peninsula.

Seeing is believing, and hearing is false. Although the legend of Strindberg has been passed down on the Hyven Peninsula for more than a decade, it was after witnessing first-hand how the Lord of Hyven killed the terrible undead who lived in the castle. The populace was naturally inclined to believe Quincy's words.

Especially those who had just choked on the terrible screams that had slain the evil spirits, the Lord of the Evil Spirits, had now established a powerful and wise image in their hearts.

Quincy, after a great deal of talking, finally made a concluding remark: "Now, please invite us, the true ruler of the Hayven Peninsula, Gordon. Count Freeman appears. ”

The townspeople were still a little unfamiliar with the new lord, and they had been accustomed to life without a ruler for more than a decade. So when he saw the other party on stage, he just looked at the young man wearing a mage robe and black eyes with some nervousness.

Fortunately, Gordon is not the kind of old oily politician. There is nothing uncomfortable with this kind of scene without applause or cheers. After he came to the stage, he blessed himself with a sound amplification technique, and said: "I am the Earl of Hypervon officially canonized by the Emperor of the Ferreton Empire. The sole ruler of this vast land. This is for you now. Maybe not really realized yet. But don't worry, you'll find out soon. Moreover, I am a mage, and I have arcane powers that are mysterious and powerful to ordinary people. I was able to do a lot of miracles in the eyes of ordinary people. It is better to remember this for those who want to turn to me, who are attached to me, and for those who hate me and have bad intentions. At last. I'm a pragmatist who doesn't like empty talk. So after arriving in Cloud Scale City, I didn't make any noticeable moves. Just quietly began to prepare for the Strindberg matter. ”

Gordon paused for a moment to let the audience digest what he had said before he added, "And the result, you have already seen." ”

Gordon turned around and pointed to Strindberg, which was in ruins in the distance: "The lies fabricated by the Aldrich family have been exposed by me personally, and the evil spirits in the castle have also been destroyed by me. To become the ruler of this peninsula is not by some ridiculous legend, but by wisdom and strength. I believe that after today's events, you already know that I am not the same as the weak or stupid imperial nobles who were stationed here before. ”

Gordon said to Rufus, who was standing beside him, "Bring those things here." ”

This warrior was the tallest and most powerful of all the people around Gordon. Keeping him with you can also raise the public's impression of themselves. If it were in the imperial capital, Gordon would have won the unanimous praise of the nobles with beautiful girls like Sheona or Sigrid, but in a semi-civilized area like the Hyven Peninsula, there are always beautiful women around, which will give people an absurd and lustful image.

Rufus nodded, and staggered down the wooden platform. In a short time, he was already leading the laborers to pull the wagons to the open space under the wooden platform.

After lifting the black cloth from the car, the laborers dumped a large pile of black and round things. The people looked fixedly, and many timid people immediately screamed in fright.

Those things are all embalmed human heads.

Fortunately, although the scene in front of him looked terrifying, it was far less than the screams that could touch the soul from the evil spirits in the battle not long ago. Therefore, the onlookers turned pale with fright at most, but there was no major problem.

It's just that many people are puzzled in their hearts, and they don't know what the identities of these beheaded guys are.

As a result of the Battle of the Isthmus of Cork, not many people in the southern peninsula know about it. The reasons are manifold. First, for the Aldrich family on the losing side, they naturally did not want this news to spread and ruin the majesty of the King of Hyven and shake their rule in the northern part of the peninsula. Second, the southern part of the peninsula has been in chaos for a long time, and most people are only concerned with the little things in front of them, and at most some people who have been going back and forth between the north and south peninsulas for many years have mentioned that the Isthmus of Cork has recently built a pass, and there is a team of soldiers who look very good to garrison it, and as for the rest, nothing is known.

And it is only today that Gordon decided to officially announce his victory.

The people gathered in this temporary square today are by no means just citizens. Of the nearly 10,000 people, I don't know how many forces from all sides have sent spies to observe them. Gordon took this opportunity to show his strength. And give those people a showdown.

When the things on the back carriages were unloaded, the identities of those heads were immediately revealed to everyone.

Look at the stacks of black armor stacked in the clearing. The crowd screamed, "Dark Cavalry! That's the Dark Devil Cavalry of House Aldrich! ”

Due to the "glorious reputation" of slaughtering the tribes of the peninsula for a long time, the Aldrich family cavalry unit commanded by Rojest was dubbed the "Dark Devil Cavalry".

For the natives who were afraid of being killed, those elite soldiers wearing cold iron armor were indeed worthy of the title of "Black Devil".

Today, however, these nightmares of many of the inhabitants of the peninsula have been stripped of their armor. The head was cut off and displayed as a trophy in front of the populace.

When the people in the audience had almost digested the shocking news, Gordon said again: "I just said it. I'm a mage, and I'm able to do what many people think is miraculous with spells. Like banishing the evil spirits in Strindberg, defeating these cavalry was just another thing I did. I would now like to announce my first decree since taking office: one month's time. The leader of all tribes, tribes, or other qiē organizations in the southern part of the peninsula. To me, Gordon. Freeman, Count Hyven, the true ruler of this peninsula owes allegiance. ”

With that, Gordon stepped back, and Quincy began to preside over the rest of the work: "Now please keep order, Lord Lord, you will start distributing free food." ”

This morning, after all kinds of shocking events, the people gathered in the temporary square. At this time, I had long forgotten the purpose of coming here in the first place. It was only after Quincy's reminder that they remembered the free food.

Due to the fact that the land in the southern part of the peninsula is declining every year for unknown reasons. Now in this spring ploughing season, it is the time of green and yellow, and many poor families have begun to cause famine. Gordon's relief food saved their lives.

The people took the bags of grain with trembling hands, not only with gratitude in their hearts, but also with awe for the new lord. At this time, I don't know who suddenly shouted in the crowd, "Long live the lord, long live the Freeman family".

Cheers rang out one after another, and the crowd mentality began to chant slogans.

These people who were the first to cheer were naturally arranged by Gordon in advance in the crowd. After such a lot of work wasted today, there must be a perfect ending.

On the hill in the distance, looking at the temporary square, all the cheers of the mountain and the tsunami were heard, and Marubion and Hernandez were both heavy-faced.

Hernandez was a little better. He had already learned about Gordon's origin from the King of Hyven, so after witnessing that wonderful battle of demon annihilation, he only confirmed the awe of Gordon in his heart. With this kind of opponent, the Aldrich family may not have an easy time in the future.

And Marubion not only witnessed the destruction of the evil spirit in Strindberg, but also saw the spoils of war displayed by Gordon. Those Aldrich family cavalry, who were extremely strong and invincible in the eyes of the aborigines, were actually annihilated by the other party in one fell swoop.

Such strength is really terrifying.

"Outsider, this Gordon. Freeman is so powerful, I ......" Marubion felt his mouth dry, and he had to brew a word for a long time before he could say it.

"You want to back off?" Hernandez sneered, "You have offended the other party before because of your behavior of occupying the city hall and kidnapping the Quincy family, and now you think there is another way out besides being close to our Aldrich family?" And you Salou believe in Zehir. This belief is absolutely heretical to the nobility of the Platinum Empire. That Gordon. Freeman does have some means, but his strength is still too weak, and sooner or later the King of Hyven will clean him up......"

As the two of them were talking, they didn't notice that they were surrounded by a dozen redstone guards.

A burst of crossbow bolts suddenly pierced the patriarch of the Salou people, Marubion, into a hedgehog. This guy didn't even have time to pull out the snake-headed whip on his waist, and he fell to the ground and died.

Hernandez was shocked, and immediately activated the stealth technique with the special ability of the arcane shadow thief. But he had barely disappeared into thin air, and before he could escape, Woodlaw, who was leading the Redstone Guard, immediately threw out a glass bottle.

After shattering on the ground, the glittering powder in the glass bottle immediately spread. This kind of sparkling is specially used to crack invisible magic items. Let Hernandez's figure immediately become apparent.

Woodlaw stepped forward with his gun and stabbed Hernandez in the thigh at a tricky angle.

The latter screamed. Half-kneeling.

Woodlaw took the opportunity to play a gunshot, and then knocked Hernandez on the head with the barrel of the gun, which shocked the other party's ears and dazzled him, and he completely lost the ability to resist for a while.

The Redstone guards immediately stepped forward, removed the dagger from Hernandez's hand, collected the various gadgets he hid on him, and tied them up.

I finally came to my senses. The Arcane Shadow Thief, who served as the King of Hyven, has been taken captive.

"I am the emissary of House Aldrich, you can't do this to me! It's against ...... that you're doing that."

Before Hernandez could finish. Woodlaw interrupted with a sneer: "What is against what? Abel. Was Aldrich an official canonized nobleman of the Empire? Or did he claim the title of King of Hyperven, and you think he was a real king? For the empire, for the lord, he is just a rebel bandit. We don't need to follow any rules of engagement at all. Don't say you're a messenger. Doing the work of a spy. Even if it's really just a messenger. We all want to kill. ”

Hearing Woodlow say such things, Hernandez gave up completely. However, he was still reluctant and asked, "How did you find me here?" ”

Woodlaw shook his head and looked at Hernandez with the pity of a fool, "Lord Shadow Thief, maybe you're proud of those spells you're wearing. But don't forget, our lord is the most powerful mage on the entire peninsula today. Those spells of yours are child's play in the eyes of the lord. You probably don't know. Your activity route in Cloud Scale City these days, who people you have come into contact with. The lords are all clear. ”

"You ......" I don't know if it's because of blood loss or because of fear in my heart, at this time Hernandez's face was as pale as paper, and he trembled and cableway, "You used me as bait and deliberately let me move around?" ”

"You guessed it. Thanks to your help, it won't be long before the entire southern part of the peninsula will be cleared of the Aldrich's eyeline. In addition, although it has only just arrived in Cloud Scale City, no real prison has yet to be built. But I promise you that you will be dealt with with the most professional methods and equipment, Mr. Hernandez. I, Woodlow, will definitely pull everything useful out of your mouth. ”

Looking at Woodlaw's long, gloomy cheeks, Hernandez fell into despair......

Gordon's meticulous planning today was not in vain. After announcing his first decree, that night, the elders of the eastern district of Cloud Scale City, as well as the leaders of the three small tribes living in the forest outside the city, came to see Gordon and swore allegiance to the new lord of the Haiwen Peninsula.

Imperial nobles who had been granted fiefs were allowed to make their own laws in their own domains, provided that they did not conflict with the imperial laws of the Anduin royal family, of course.

However, Gordon has not yet had time to enact the Haven Law, so he is ready to directly follow the Imperial Law in this land.

"As long as you obey my laws and pay your taxes on time, then I, the lord, promise that I will give my people a peaceful and prosperous life." Gordon said to a few people.

It's okay to follow the law. The first to come to Gordon to pledge allegiance were the tribes that had the least ambition and threat, and only wanted to live a peaceful life. However, when it came to taxes, several people in front of them showed embarrassed faces.

The eastern district of Cloud Scale City is the poorest area in the entire city, and the so-called elder is actually just a slum boss to put it bluntly. The other three small tribes living in the forest are also weak forces that do not have the strength to obtain arable land. They can't even maintain their own food and clothing, so how can they pay taxes to Gordon?

However, the solution is simple. That is to replace taxes with service.

Now that everything is at its infancy, Gordon is extremely short of manpower. He needed to expand his army as much as he could, so that he could move all of his elite Redstone guards to the pass north of the Isthmus of Cork and prevent the army of the King of Hyperven from moving south. It's a waste to use redstone to defend against those natives. Let Chuck, a former junior officer of the empire, train for a month, and then make civilians qualified soldiers to meet Gordon's defense needs.

In addition to the military, Gordon also has a lot of demand in terms of labor. The filthy and messy city of Cloudscales Gordon has completely given up, and he plans to build a new city after careful planning. Although the city walls and sewer systems are not yet able to be completed, it is only a city framework, and it will take a lot of manpower to build it.

Gordon asked the patriarchs to provide manpower in lieu of paying taxes, and was even willing to pay a certain amount of money. Such conditions naturally make it impossible to refuse.

Many of the young men of the three forest tribes have experience in hunting and are qualified warriors with a little training. What surprised Gordon even more was that most of the poor people in the southern part of Cloud Scale City were actually seafarers and fishermen who had lost their ships and industries due to piracy and robbery. They had no land, no other skills, and could only be trapped in that shack with sewage and waiting to die, but who knows, now for Gordon, it is like picking up a treasure.

There is so much to be gained in just one night. Gordon believed that after someone started, more and more people would pledge allegiance to him over time. After getting on the right track, his strength will also climb exponentially.

After sending off several of the patriarchs, Gordon received another report from Durina.

They were present in the ruins of Strindburg. (To be continued......)
