The Game of Demon Hunter

Chapter 857: Xu Yichen's List

In the Old Continent, because various kingdoms and principalities have been subtly influenced for hundreds of thousands of years, most people are bound to their proper positions. Except for extraordinary people, there are very few floating population, and most of the nobles are seated. Enjoy the wealth accumulated by generations, and try to go further on the road of example or power.

The former requires qualifications and a lot of money support, while the latter is a purely political game, which needs to be planned slowly over several years or even decades. Through intermarriage, slander or even assassination, one can finally make one's noble ass go further .

And the far south is a new, uncultivated land. If it weren't for the various monsters in this world, the relics of ancient civilizations, and even the threat of chaos, it would have become a hot land long ago, attracting countless people to pursue wealth.

But the human beings in this world have suffered enough from the adventures. The ancient Ottoman Empire attracted Chaos in order to pursue the resources of the alien plane.

The Principality of Sarion dug its grave well, but it ran into the ancient Roman Empire head-on.

The civilizations of the Black Earth struggled through the first millennium in the shadow of the dead, simply because they explored tombs they shouldn't.

This is not counting the Tyranids brought in by the Witch King's experiments in the New World. If this kind of thing is leaked, it will cause a new round of panic.

Based on this background, humans in this world have been conservative since the new century, and are unwilling to explore new territories, because the unknown often represents danger.

The nobles who chose to come to the Far South to take risks at the beginning were all middle-class people who could not find a way out in the old continent, or branches of big families. With the end of the first round of wasteland reclamation, Far South did not find anything that made people crazy properties, this wave will gradually disappear.

So, what role did the emerging aristocracy play in the cities of this chaotic region in the far south?

First of all, they shared the risks that the lord had to bear. They paid for the population, armed soldiers, and reclaimed wasteland to build villages. All the lord had to pay was a letter of commission.

As long as one person successfully establishes a settlement, there will be another security barrier around the city where the lord is located, as well as a potential consumer market.

This model was very popular at the beginning of the development of Far South, and even now some lords are using this trick to buy people's hearts.

However, with the stability of the order, disadvantages appeared. A large number of nobles with private soldiers huddled in the city for a more comfortable life, which to some extent checked and balanced the rights of the lord.

Especially with the death of the first generation of pioneers, the rights of the second generation heirs will generally be suppressed by the nobles. Antoine's superiority is the best example.

"So, those nobles have no other role but to make trouble?" The words spit out by the witcher made Elizabeth sweat coldly.

"It's not like that!" Elizabeth was afraid that if she was too late, the Serisian would order to 'dispose' all the nobles in the city: "Most of them are literate, and some of them have taught themselves the law. The operation of the city depends on them to support it."

"Okay then, you write down the names of the people you think are useful, and I will handle the rest." Xu Yichen nodded, and pushed the paper on the table in front of Elizabeth: "They have already betrayed you once , so don’t put too much pressure on it, you are doing a good job, otherwise, according to our habit, we usually clean it thoroughly, and it will be easier to manage in the future.”

Elizabeth's sweat dripped down her delicate face and blurred on the paper: "I can't write this list! You will collapse this city!"

Xu Yichen took the paper back from the girl's hand: "It's okay, I can get a list from other people, so that you don't have to suffer from conscience. Besides, it's definitely a good thing for this city to lose them. "

After finishing speaking, the witcher walked out of the room and ticked Elizabeth in his heart. This was a test. If Elizabeth really wrote a list, then she would also be on the next list.

Xu Yichen doesn't like pure politicians, and he has the final say in the short term.

Outside the room, Knight Alves was guarding the door. Although he knew that he was no match for the witcher, the retired lion knight still followed his oath to the Prince family.

Just like old Bart, he is a model among knights. Xu Yichen has reason to believe that knights from knight orders in the old continent are far more reliable in terms of morality and sense of honor than knights among nobles.

"Mr. Alves, I want to know which nobles in this city are really capable. The city needs to restore order quickly, and I need to know who to go to." Xu Yichen didn't want this loyal knight to bear the extra burden. Pressure, he is not a lord, there is no need to accept this test.

"Of course, Mr. Demon Hunter." As the most loyal follower of the Prince family, Knight Alves knew the real little nobles in the city very well. It only took him a few minutes to pick up the pen and write Write down the names of a dozen people.

He had no idea what impact this list would have on Godrim City, so Knight Alves still had the mood to ask: "How do you plan to solve the rebellion in the city? If possible, please don't hurt Miss Elizabeth, you and the Church In a war between the two, anyone who gets involved will be torn apart."

"I will try my best to solve this problem, but you don't need to bear any pressure. We will take over the defense of Godrim City." The witcher put away the list in his arms with satisfaction, and patted the opponent on the shoulder. : "Thank you for your cooperation knight."

The list was handed over to the assassin Fan Li that night, and before dawn, the huge arrest operation was over, and all the nobles in the city were arrested and brought to justice by the Orcs and the marines, and no one was spared.

Those who resisted were crushed, and those who escaped were captured by Fan Li mobilizing the locals. He offered a price of fifty bags of grain for a nobleman, and a large group of poor people settled down and ran all over the city just to receive the reward.

In the end, except for a few who escaped out of the city through secret passages, they almost wiped out all the aristocratic forces in the city, and there were also many unexpected gains along the way.

For example, a few members of the Lion Knights with bewildered faces, and a dozen or so dejected members of the Paladin Expeditionary Army, they are all survivors of the Wangxiangcheng War, and they were arrested this time.

From Xu Yichen's point of view, the local nobles, who take bribes and oppress the common people, have nothing to do with him. This is not his country, not his city, nor his people. You won't bother them.

But as soldiers of New China, these people only made one mistake, they chose the wrong team.
