Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

The last day Harvey stayed in Jinhui City was also the day when the City Hall publicly tried and executed the dignitaries of the capital who committed serious crimes.

The newly established new City Hall took the first step to officially take over Jinhui City with a bloody butcher knife.

The location of the public trial and execution was set in the collapsed Guanghui Cathedral Square. This old ruin was also one of the few buildings that Harvey ordered not to rebuild or repair. After all, from now on, the church power will be completely swept out of the capital. Although folk beliefs are not strictly prohibited, priests and missionaries will no longer be qualified to set foot here.

The public trial and execution began at dawn. A large number of people who received the news in advance surrounded the church square. Every time a few nobles in shackles were brought in, there would be soldiers of the Northern Army riding on magic motorcycles and carrying alchemical loudspeakers to shuttle through the streets and alleys, publicizing the crimes committed by the nobles on trial.

The specific charges were actually similar. Most of the dignitaries sentenced to death were sentenced for multiple crimes. The public trial was more of a formality, to publicize to the public the means by which Harvey would clean up the old dignitaries in the capital and implement new policies.

From the outbreak of the epidemic in the capital to the sudden war between the church and the nobles, a large number of innocent people died of illness or were displaced and fled far away from their hometowns... Even in the past six months, the dignitaries made up various excuses to levy heavy taxes and forcibly conscripted the people of the capital to fill the border - it can be said that every household has victims and victims, and they cheered and cheered for the execution of these nobles.

There were nearly a hundred nobles sentenced to death, and a round of executions was carried out almost every half an hour. The city hall arranged for the army to pull a magic-powered cannon and load it with blank shells filled with dragon flame powder. After each cannon shot... it represented that a noble from a high position and a famous family was executed on the spot.

The person in charge of the execution was a half-orc soldier specially selected by the city hall from the army. He was nearly two meters tall and sturdy. He looked even more terrifying holding a bloody thick-backed machete. Many nobles who were quite tough before the execution were frightened to the point of shitting and pissing, causing the onlookers to laugh and curse.

Harvey quietly left the Jinhui City dock in an ironclad ship amid the deafening bombardment and headed for Fengyuan City at full speed...

"Why didn't the city lord personally show up at the public trial?" Arturo, who returned with him, was a little puzzled. "Let the people of Jinhui City know you, and arrange some secret police to mix in the crowd to encourage the people to express their support for you... Wouldn't it be more convincing?"

Harvey chuckled and shook his head and said, "These people are different from the people of Xinghuo City. They will not completely turn to my side just because I cut off the heads of a group of nobles..."

Only when the city hall he established manages the city in an orderly manner and the implementation of new policies allows the people to truly benefit... After the promises made to them after the city was broken are fulfilled one by one, the people here can really be used.

At present, they are just like those dignitaries in the capital at the beginning, and they are only afraid of the bloody butcher knife in Harvey's hand.

...

At the moment, he couldn't wait to decide to return to the North, more because he accepted Mr. Fadun's sincere advice.

After temporarily clearing all the obstacles in the South, he had to turn his attention back to the North... and keep a close eye on the alien enemy that had already begun to show its shadow.

Until now, Harvey could only obtain a little enemy intelligence from the members of the exploration team not long ago - knowing the general appearance of the enemy, the strange weapons and attack methods used, and the possible direction of attack.

Apart from that, nothing was gained. The construction of the Ice Sea Exploration Base has initially completed the first phase of the project. At present, there will be basically no major problems with defense and self-protection. The research and development of submarines is also progressing steadily... Next, it is necessary to start a large-scale exploration and search around the base.

It is necessary to find the alien advance team that attacked the exploration team at the beginning, so that there will be no powerful enemy around the bed all the time.

Judging from the internal situation of the Federation revealed by Mr. Fadun, the faction led by Chief Sarath still has trust in this and is willing to take the initiative to join Harvey's defense counterattack plan. Even the chief himself is willing to take the initiative to move to Spark City and sit in the North with him to resist the powerful enemy who has not yet revealed his true face.

However, the conservatives who tend to the church and secular nobles, and the neutrals who have always been cautious and self-protective, have a very vague and ambiguous attitude - the conservatives headed by the Magic Council even quoted classics and used a large number of historical documents excavated from ancient ruins in the past to strongly refute the truth against Harvey's declaration.

This part of the Federation group has a deep connection with the Seven Wizarding Nations. Even if the three chiefs publicly support Harvey in a short period of time, it will be difficult to pry their attitudes. Fadun also expressed regret and helplessness about this.

The large number of neutral factions in the Federation put all their efforts into fighting against the demons entrenched in the Evil Moon Mountains, attempting to occupy as many resources and interests in the Western Territory as possible while the Church shrinks its defense and troops. With the powerful anti-magic weapons provided by Harvey in the name of forum support, they are highly focused on the counterattack against the demons, crossing the Divine Spine Mountains and fighting the demons in the northwest, vowing to completely eradicate the opponent's frontline center rooted here.

The magic stone mines in the Black Stone City and the Evil Moon Mountains are densely packed, and the magic plants and monsters in the primitive mountains that stretch thousands of miles long have rich resources. They have always been the "golden rushing place" that the Federation has coveted for a long time, wanting them to give up what they can get. Instant interests, instead of dealing with unknown powerful enemies from the north... Fadun believes that it is impossible to achieve in a short period of time.

But the neutral faction has the largest number of mage battles, and the Dharma Shield, who is well versed in the way of political struggle, also suggests that Harvey cannot completely give up this magical power, and must seek a suitable opportunity to win the support of the other party... In this question In the first place, the three chiefs who had not interfered in specific internal affairs of the Federation will also assist him from the side.

Under such circumstances, Harvey couldn't help but have a seductive thought and plan emerged from his mind.

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

There are certain risks and failures in this plan, and it seems to be a bit difficult to operate... But high risks will inevitably bring corresponding high returns. If the attempt is successful, it may not only solve the attitude and opinions within the Federation on this matter... ...Even when dealing with strong enemies in the future, we will have a certain advantage and opportunity.

That is - adventure to capture the alien outpost lingering near the Ice Sea Exploration Base and capture it alive and return to the northern border...

Even... bring them to the southern border and hand them over to the Union to completely prove the truth about the existence of alien enemies to the world!
