Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

As the sky was dawn, the entire Fengyuan City still showed no sign of regaining its vitality.

All the people in the city knew that there was an invasion of foreign enemies, but as long as they hid at home and stayed in their doors, there would be no rioters who invaded the city who would rush into their homes and rob.

The fact that great nobles and lords conquered each other's cities and lands was common for these ordinary poor people living on this land.

Even if the army makes trouble in the city, it will just be smashing, looting, burning, and tyrannical and traumatizing, and enduring it will pass... After all, only foreign invaders have been able to do such a massacre since ancient times.

Harvey manipulated the soul puppet into the messy Duke's mansion. Vaughn and other northern officers who went on the expedition had already kneeled down on one knee and welcomed his arrival in the hall.

In fact, long before the army set out, Harvey ordered Pierce to install the puppet on an iron armored ship together, and he could wake him up immediately after the war was over.

This is not the first time that everyone present has seen the Lord using the incarnation puppet. Although he has seen this thin and unfamiliar face with black hair and black eyes, he can successfully hypnotize himself as long as he silently recites [This Lord] several times in his heart.

The bodies of the dead in the castle have been removed, but the blood and blood smell are still so strong that they are almost lingering. Broken furnishings that are not yet available for repair and broken weapons that are randomly discarded aside.

Harvey could immediately clearly imagine the scene of his blood warrior fighting with stubborn enemies after attacking the castle.

"Get up." Harvey waved his hand and walked to the high-back chair that originally belonged to Duke Ralph, "You are doing well, and they are cleaner and cleaner than I originally expected. Completed this mission.”

The only brown-haired man in the subordinates who was not wearing military uniform stood up and bowed to Harvey on one knee, "Lord, I am the secret policeman in charge of the intelligence work in Fengyuan City. Please call me code name 088."

Harvey narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "I know you, it was you who cooperated with the intelligence police in Jinhui City and discovered the secret of Duke Ralph's escape from Fengyuan City... This is why we successfully bought the raid on his nest. Fighting, doing a good job.”

Codenamed 088 to touch the chest and continued, "Our colleagues lurking in the Duke's Mansion have just captured all the duke's relatives who fled out of the city through secret passages... They were also hurriedly carrying them together. part of gold.”

It was worth tens of thousands of pounds and very good quality, but it only occupied less than one-fifth of the wealth in the family treasure house of the Duke Bunker. If it weren't for the evacuation, it wouldn't have taken away so little part of it at all. .

"Oh? When Duke Ralph ran away alone, he didn't take away the Pang everyone he had accumulated for several generations?"

This surprised Harvey. He probably didn't expect that his hometown would be taken down so quickly. "I thought they would burn the property they could not take away..."

Codename 088 replied with a smile: "They had this plan, but unfortunately they were arranged to set fire to our people. The treasures of antiques and large boxes of coins were preserved intact."

Harvey nodded, no longer paying too much attention to the problem of trophy harvesting. After all, now he is no longer always struggling with financial issues as he used to do. Moreover, the wealth collected from a founding duke has exceeded his rule. For a huge territory with a population of 50,000, it is just a drop in the profit.

As long as these quickly gains of war can basically offset the consumption brought to him by this war, both Harvey himself and the financial department of the territory and municipal government should be satisfied with this.

Fighting to fight is always the most effective external expansion strategy.

Harvey casually asked about the ending of the battles everywhere in the city, then coughed gently, and knocked on the carefully crafted armrest of the chair.

The hall immediately became quiet. Whether it was the soldiers guarding against the wall with guns or the officers surrounding Harvey's head, everyone looked at their lord with bright eyes.

"Three things... First, the secret police cooperated with the army and immediately took over the urban management work of Fengyuan City, appeased the people and investigated the remnants of the duke."

"Secondly, the soldiers from the two battalions are left to be temporarily responsible for the garrison and defense work of Fengyuan City. The issue of subsequent rotation of garrisons will be discussed and arranged by the military headquarters... In any case, I only require that this city must at least be retained. The military establishment scale is more than one thousand people.”

After all, Fengyuan City is located in the middle of the Principality, with a flat terrain and well-connected terrain. It is very convenient to reach all parts of the Principality by river or land. The most important thing is that it is less than seven days away from the royal capital Jinhui City to the west.

If there is no accident, the Grand Duke and Grand Duke Ralph who are far away in Jinhui City should receive news of the fall of Fengyuan City in five days. No matter when they counterattack... Harvey must be in Feng There are enough troops left in the original city.

He paused, then raised his index finger, "The last thing is, all the arrested dukes and remnants of the city, and those vassal nobles... I want to set up a court of justice, accept the public's reports in full, and publicly judge their crimes .”

It is of course an indisputable fact that Duke Ralph himself took the initiative to provoke disputes between the fief lords with His Majesty's enlistment, resulting in wars and troubles in the public.

But what aroused the public's anger and hatred was that he instigated his subordinates to aristocrats, levy taxes at will, and forced the people to participate in labor. His knights and mercenaries became more and more aggressive in exploiting them, and plundering the people in the surrounding fiefdoms and Poison.

"We must let the people of Fengyuan City understand that the Northern Army is not the invaders, nor the enemy of the people here... Like them, we are all resisters who resist the tyranny of the duke and nobles! And those greedy nobles who committed serious crimes , will be punished! ”

"Affect the Lord's orders!" Pierce led the officers to kneel down on one knee again, and the other soldiers in the hall also knelt down and saluted Harvey with excitement.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

...

After arranging the general follow-up matters, Harvey left Pierce and the Secret Police 088 alone.

"How are our soldiers' casualties?"

"When the outer city was captured, there were no casualties... mainly the Second Battalion, responsible for blocking the Fengyuan Knights' Order to support the Duke's Mansion in the streets, there were about twenty people due to the enemy's fearless charge, resulting in about twenty people. The soldiers were killed on the spot.”

In fact, a considerable number of soldiers were seriously injured, but thanks to the superb military medical technology, most wounded people do not have to worry about the worsening of injuries. It is really a matter of physical defects and even metal prosthetic limbs can be grafted, so it is only a matter of time to recover.

Harvey nodded and did not reprimand - commanding 1,500 soldiers to raid a city with a population of more than 10,000. It is not easy to control the number of casualties to double digits. The main reason is also because of the intensity of war in this era. Not very high. Apart from the "extraordinary weapon of destruction" like the caster, there are almost no direct and effective means to cause large-scale casualties of soldiers - unless it is really unlucky and uncontrollable contagiousness in the army. Epidemic.

The secret policeman 088 came over and asked in a low voice: "Lord, the relatives of the Duke who were captured by us... should we deal with it? Do we need to be temporarily imprisoned so that when Duke Ralph counterattacks, he will be restrained..."

Harvey chuckled and waved his hand, "No need, the threatening trick of fighting for power among the nobles... lock them up with the other nobles, accept reports and exposures from the people equally, and judge them as much as they should!"
