Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

Maraka, who was intimidated by Milin's uncontrollable version of the nano-disaster liquid, closed the Guardian Temple the next day and refused all visitors.

At first, this incident did not attract much attention.

Even among the onlookers, whose eyesight may need to weaken for a period of time, after returning home, they told others about what they saw in a variety of ways, but not many people cared.

Temple guards defeated? Are you kidding me?

However, at night, people in the imperial capital discovered that maybe that was not such crazy talk.

Because it had been bright for a thousand years, the light on the mountain of light that had remained bright since the first day of the empire was extinguished.

The dimming of the Mountain of Light has brought chaos to the imperial capital, far exceeding the impact of the coup that just occurred.

In fact, the coup in the palace caused little chaos.

Isn't it just a coup? As long as you live in the imperial capital, you can always see it several times in your life.

The chaos that began at night quickly turned into a riot.

Before the commotion turned into a rebellion, Alori and all those under Milin who could be considered combatants, including Arthur, who had just joined for less than a day.

With the motley army summoned by Milin's "empty treasury", the imperial capital was put under military control.

This is a familiar path for Alori.

On the balcony of the palace overlooking most of the imperial capital, Aila, who was not dispatched due to lack of combat power, looked at the dimmed lights of the imperial capital and asked Milin beside her:

"Have you chosen your target?"

"Well, I basically followed the list you gave me." Milin nodded and said.

Aila was slightly relieved when she heard Milin's answer.

The targets she mentioned refer to the big households in the "killing big households" previously planned.

Solving any one of them can alleviate the economic crisis Milin is currently experiencing.

In order to complete the military control of the medieval super city like the Imperial Capital, Milin did not continue to recruit elite units such as armored cavalry or Dalahan cavalry.

Instead, use all the money in the palace's inventory to summon the lowest-level troops.

As a result, the number of troops under Milin's command suddenly reached the four-digit level.

But that's exactly what happened. It originally only had some meager funds and military ration reserves, but it was suddenly on the verge of bankruptcy.

As the Minister of Finance under Milin, His Majesty Ella immediately handed over the list of "big households" to be killed to Milin.

"Wait..." Ella, who had just taken a breath, suddenly found something strange.

In the dimmed Imperial Capital, the army that was quite conspicuous because of holding torches, after completing the control of several important positions in the Imperial Capital, divided into several groups and moved towards the location of those "big households".

"What's wrong?" Milin asked.

"Admiral, you don't plan to eat them all at once, do you?" Ella said in surprise.

"...I followed the list you gave me." Milin said.

"Well, that list is just a pre-selected target. Just kill one or two of them." Ella continued speechlessly:

"If you kill too many at once, it will easily cause chaos."

"What's the chaos? Are you worried that these people are resisting too much?" Milin asked.

"That's not what I meant." Ella said quickly.

Although these large households can be counted among the fat sheep by Aila, basically every household has a certain scale of private soldiers to protect their wealth.

But this is not what Ella is worried about. The chaos she is worried about is the turmoil in the daily supply chain of daily necessities for the residents of the Imperial City after all the houses of these big households in the Imperial City were confiscated.

Those who can be included in Aila's list are basically the top rentier class in the imperial capital.

In order to ensure that their own wealth can continue, these top rentier classes must have established a solid interest network to complete the transfer of interests.

In other words, Milin took all these people away, almost taking away all the truly powerful upper-level officials in the imperial capital.

Alori had already done something similar once in Escalon, directly reducing the livability of Escalon to zero.

Because residents living in cities rarely store food at home.

"What's the point? Are you worried that someone will take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune? Just keep killing." Milin said in a calm tone.

With the superstructure gone, those in the middle, such as the Xianlang Chamber of Commerce, will definitely swarm in.

"The problem is that without a proper regulatory system, an absolute free market can only bring absolute chaos!" Seeing that Milin has not yet understood the seriousness of the matter, Ella said anxiously.

"What's the point? It's just military control and direct rationing anyway." Milin said nonchalantly.

Alori's solution at that time was rationing, and forced rationing.

"The rationing system also requires staff! The Imperial City is not a small place like Iscalon. There are at least hundreds of thousands of residents here!"

So, this is what Ella is struggling with.

Providing food rationing to Escalon, which has less than 10,000 people, is not at the same level of difficulty as rationing food to the Imperial Capital, which has hundreds of thousands of people.

The former's food rationing work may be solved by dozens of people. Even if the rationing is delayed, there won't be any big trouble.

The latter... Not to mention how many people are needed, but once there is a problem in some link, it cannot be solved by military control.

Even the most virtuous people are no better than beasts when faced with hunger.

"...This is indeed a problem." Milin, who understood what Ella was worried about, nodded.

However, even after knowing it, Milin did not stop Alori's actions.

Alori, who was leading dozens of Nords, asked Attila, who was leading a similar number of Dalahan cavalry, "Can it be done?"

"Okay," said Attila, who also held a torch in his hand like the Dalahan cavalry behind him.

"No mental disorder, right?" Alori said, looking at Attila.

"...?" Attila, who didn't understand what Alori was worried about, showed a confused expression.

"Huh? I'm just worried that you don't like to do this kind of thing. Didn't the boss say that you embrace the bright side?" Alori said. After finishing speaking, he took out a scroll and continued without waiting for Attila's response:

"It's okay if you have any mental obstacles. Ella has investigated all the targets. There are basically no good people. All the bad things they have done are recorded in it."

"..." Attila, who realized what Alori was worried about, had a look on his face that made him laugh or cry.

Without taking the scroll from Alori, which was originally used by Ella as a "justifiable" excuse to raid her house, Attila said:

"Lord Alori, have you forgotten what I was doing before you and my master rescued me from those forest bandits?"

"...Isn't he a slave? Oh oh, I forgot, hehe." Alori suddenly remembered that the person in front of him always behaved respectfully in front of Milin and her, even to the point of being a little weak. Attila was a horse bandit.

In other words, Attila has already lit up the skill point of robbing homes and houses, but it has been hidden all this time.

Looking at Alori who was a little embarrassed, Attila's red pupils glowed with some withered yellow that symbolized the dark force.

"Mr. Alori, are you worried about yourself?" Attila said.

"What am I worried about?" Alori was slightly startled.

"Because I can feel the kindness in Master Alori's heart." Attila said.

"...Me? Liangshan? You don't have a fever, do you?" Alori said strangely.

As the last dragonborn in the Elder Scrolls world, Alori did a lot of strange things on the way to saving the world.

Let’s not talk about killing Yingye, but she is definitely not a holy mother, and as a member of the Dark Brotherhood, she has even killed the emperor of the empire.

Speaking of similar things, she had done it before in Escalon, and was even abused by Milin.

How come when you get to Attila's side, you turn into a kind white lotus.

"Lord Alori..." Attila thought for a while, seemed to consider the words before continuing: "I will choose to embrace the light side, initially because I want to be like you."

"...Ahem, because you want to be like me? What the same?" Alori didn't understand what Attila was talking about.

"Lord Alori, leave your mission to me." Without answering Alori's question, Attila turned around and left Alori with the Durahan cavalry.

It was a task for two people, if they didn't hurry up, they might not be able to finish it before dawn.

"..." Looking at Attila's leaving back, Alori fell into silence.

After a while, Big Bob, who was a little curious about what Alori was thinking, approached Alori and asked: "Boss Long, what should we do now?"

"What are you doing? Keep doing it." Alori said immediately after coming back to his senses because of Big Bob's question.

"Boss Long, if you don't want to do it, let us do it. Anyway, we Nords are familiar with this kind of thing." Big Bob said very understandingly.

"I'm also a Nord, okay!" Alori, who felt uncomfortable because Attila regarded him as a kind white lotus, now wanted to pick up a battering ram and smash the imperial capital to pieces.
