From Wild Mage to Wizard King

The battle between Roland and Locke was over.

Except for sensing the huge energy fluctuations that erupted at Locke's residence, outsiders did not know the whole process of the battle.

The only thing they knew was that Roland, whose clothes were not damaged, walked out of Locke's residence calmly, and after Locke announced that he would give up his leadership position, he closed the door and stopped meeting anyone.

Roland won, which meant that the last obstacle to the coup d'état had disappeared.

Roland sat in the temporary command center and commanded the border party to carry out a thorough purge of all local faction members in Black Rock City.

All local faction members who were eligible to participate in the parliament, as well as their confidants and relatives, were all executed, and ordinary soldiers were dispersed and imprisoned.

Roland had only one attitude towards the top leaders of the local faction, and he would rather kill the wrong people than let any of them go.

Now that he had a big advantage, he would not kill them. Would he wait for them to escape back to their own territory and organize an army to fight Roland?

Under Roland's attitude of killing them all, extraordinary wars broke out in various parts of Black Rock City, and one extraordinary person after another fought and killed each other.

The Border Region faction, which had been well prepared, naturally had an absolute advantage, not to mention that Roland was still here. Once he encountered a difficult-to-deal-with local faction superhumans, Roland would kill them.

"Bang."

Before he could dodge, a four-ring knight was hit by Roland's spell and fell directly to the ground.

He coughed a few times, raised his head, looked at the Border Region superhumans who were besieging him, and Roland who was calmly watching him in mid-air.

"Puff."

He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and roared tremblingly.

"Shouldn't you all be on the front line? You said so high-sounding things, but in the end, you still transferred the troops from the front line back to fight for power. What qualifications do you have to criticize us!"

"What qualifications do you have to teach me! The resistance army is on our shoulders everywhere. You can stir it up! The soldiers on the front line have no supplies and suffer defeat. The front line is corrupted. The green tide comes and kills the entire resistance army."

"So much nonsense."

Listening to his dog barking, Roland calmly threw down the spell in his hand and said lightly.

When the dazzling spell exploded in front of him, the extraordinary in the pit on the ground uttered his last words.

"I'm waiting. You will all die at the hands of the green tide!"

Roland ignored his incompetent curse, looked up at the stalemate on the other side of the city, and rushed over with the extraordinary beside him.

Since Roland dared to ask the border area to transfer the troops and extraordinary from the front line back, he naturally had his reasons.

Of course, Roland did not want to give up the front line. In fact, after contacting the Border Area Faction through Odin, Roland shared the information about the meal making technique with them.

At Roland's request, the Border Area Faction soldiers on the front line continued to squeeze the vitality of the border land day and night after receiving the information.

Under the pressure of exhausting all resources, the material and vitality of the front-line land were squeezed out completely, turning it into a barren and lifeless dead land.

The dead land is not a good place for any living being to move, even the green-skinned orcs. If you dare to enter the dead land, the dead land will dare to drain your vitality.

Although the dead land will actively absorb the vitality nearby to slowly recover, as long as the front line continues to extract vitality, the area of ​​the dead land will not decrease.

The long dead land has become the best line of defense against the green tide. It is precisely because of the dead land defense line that the front-line troops and extraordinary people can withdraw most of them.

In addition, after creating a long dead zone, the front line also accumulated a huge amount of food. A little bit of it would be enough to support the front line for several years, and the remaining food would be enough to support the border faction to fight a full-scale civil war for three or four years.

As for weapons and equipment, most of the output of the rebels' weapons and equipment came from the territories of the border faction members. As long as there are enough raw materials, various weapons and equipment can be continuously provided.

As for what to do with the raw materials, there are many mines opened by local factions in the warlord territories annexed by the old and new warlords.

Roland had offered various conditions to lure local factions to open mines before, just for now.

The border faction had long been prepared for a three-year full-scale civil war, so were the local factions ready?

Unfortunately, they were not.

Compared with the border faction, which was relatively united and connected by Roland, the local faction was originally united to deal with the border faction. It can be said that the internal part was a mess, and no one could have the final say and lead the entire local faction.

Just like the current Black Rock City, even if the Border District Faction drew their butcher knives and wanted to kill all the local factions in the city, the members of the local faction had no idea of ​​gathering together to resist, and they only wanted to escape.

Even the few local faction members who united were scheming against each other, and there were many who directly sold out their teammates and ran away.

Even if they were forced into a dead end, the local factions were very cautious in joining forces to fight because there was no basis for trust.

It was precisely because the local faction was scattered that the speed of the cleansing of the Border District Faction was much faster than expected.

It took less than a day for Roland to catch all the high-level members of the local faction who came to Black Rock City to participate in the meeting. All of them were killed, leaving no one alive.

After the cleansing of Black Rock City, Roland also summoned the members of the Border District Faction and held a small meeting together.

Since Roland had already made an agreement with the top leaders of the Border Region Faction in advance, and the other members of the Border Region Faction who participated in the meeting were surprised, they also acquiesced in view of the guarantee of the top leaders and Roland's usual performance.

So, after the meeting, the Border Region Faction quickly reached a consensus.

Abolish all the promises of the Locke Rebel Army, abolish the administrative autonomy system, re-plan all territories, including the territories controlled by the Border Region Faction, and re-plan all territories. The administrative system to be used in the future is to be determined. Military control will be imposed on all territories for the time being.

Abolish the chaotic military system, prohibit anyone from recruiting soldiers at will, force the purchase of all weapons and equipment, restrict export flows, and reorganize the army. The future military system is to be determined, and Roland is currently in unified command and leadership.

Issue a comprehensive martial law order to block all channels of communication between the rebels and the outside world, and at the same time, strictly restrict population movement.

Issue a food restriction order to prohibit all food price increases. At the same time, mobilize reserve food to calm food prices, limit the amount of purchases per person, and ensure that large-scale famine does not occur.

At the same time, all merchants were warned that if they sold grain at a price higher than the restriction order, they would be executed and all their property would be confiscated.

In addition, the most important point was to disband the Locke Rebellion Army and establish a war committee to replace it, with Roland as the interim chairman.
