The twenty castles or estates to be accepted represented twenty noble families. The number of core personnel who can affect a family is about twenty to fifty, and if you add the guards and officials who stay behind, you can make a team of seventy to one hundred people. A team of this size is already a threat to a working group of less than 50 people.

Feige didn't want to kill his own people, so he had to let the threat die first. He found that less than half of the nobles understood and abided by the character of being willing to gamble and lose, and would choose to surrender according to the agreement between Feige and the noble alliance before the battle, and the rest wanted to play tricks in various ways. Those who surrendered, Feige ordered them to lay down their arms, move all their armor out and put it in front of the castle, and then allow them to pack their things, and each person could take with him the necessities of life that he could move, plus less than fifty gold coins. They will be taken out of their original territory and will go to other areas to start living as ordinary civilians. This means that they will also be given arable land, farm tools, or they can also take the money to do some business.

If you don't surrender, then the result will be completely different. Feige always personally beckoned to surrender, and he would fly over the castle and use magic to boost his voice, making sure that both the outcome of surrender and non-surrender was clearly stated, and such shouts would be repeated three times. He would then drop a white flag inside the castle, and the five-meter radius of the flag would be the safe zone for surrender, and anyone without weapons and armor would not be considered an enemy as long as they entered it. He would wait five minutes and do a countdown before starting to attack.

The people of the castle will always try to attack Fitch, with their longbows, crossbows, and javelins. However, these weapons are very poor in anti-air, and they don't have the archery skills of the Elven Archer, so in general they don't cause as much trouble as shouting. The chaotic or frantic shouting at least affected Feige's shouting behavior, making him a little upset......

"Don't cry, I've given me a chance before. Feige often had to repeat the phrase, and later said that he himself began to go numb. In particular, some non-combatants, such as the elderly, children, women, and servants, could neither take up arms to resist nor evacuate when the fighting began, both of which Fitch understands. However, after the battle began, he knew that his side would not be able to resist Feiqi's powerful attack, but he still did not go to the surrender site under the white flag, only prayed and "begged" the goddess to send power to save them. If they muster up the courage to resist, then Feige is to show admiration, and if they are really unable to move because of their disabilities, Feige will let them go. But they don't belong to either of these two, and they can walk on the third path that they think is useful.

"The great goddess wields a long whip made of thunder to burn terrible devils and demons to ashes, thus bringing light back to the afflicted village......" Feiqi held the cat-teasing staff in one hand and a flame that could shoot heat rays in the other, facing the three women who were engaged in prayer. "This prayer is also familiar to me, it has no effect of summoning magical power, and it cannot stop me. Why don't you stop and head to the white flag in the courtyard?"

"You murderous devil, the goddess will let you go to hell!" the old man shouted at Feige, holding the emblem. She swung the emblem so hard that her body staggered, but she couldn't summon any power from it.

The middle-aged woman showed the same anger and agitation, and the defeat of the castle's resistance did not sober them up, but provoked a certain chaotic frenzy: "Yes! Don't try to bewitch us, we won't accept your humiliation! You caused everything! You robber! Murderer! Sooner or later, it will ......"

Feige's hands trembled, and two rays of heat pierced their hearts. He looked at the youngest woman with a serious expression, she looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and Feige hoped that she still had normal judgment and could read the situation in front of her. But she first showed grief, and then picked up the two emblems of the deceased, and then clutched the total three emblems tightly with both hands, blocking between herself and Feiqi.

"The door is right next to you, and you won't die if you run under the white flag. Feige said.

"Put away your deceitful face, you murderer, rapist, robber!"

Fei Qi didn't understand why he suddenly had another crime, even the owner of this body had never done rape in his most unruly years?

It always feels emptier than the empty shell of the soul wandering in hell, and worse than the inferior demon. Feige stuck to his promise, and left no one alive for those who did not surrender under the White Flag.

With the Eye of Koktar's detection abilities and powerful spell attack abilities, no one can dodge this firestorm known as Feiqi. Feige found an interesting phenomenon: those who were willing to flee and surrender had already left before the battle began, and these were often the servants of the castle and the mercenaries of nearby villages. Most of them gathered around the castle after hearing Feige's shout, and looked with their eyes to see what their choice was. The people in the castle either believe that they can overcome Feige's judgment, or they hope for Feige's "mercy" and would rather believe that the goddess will save them and punish Feige than trust their own legs once.

Again and again, castle after castle, one killing followed another, and the placket of Feige's clothes was stained with blood, but the blood of the people who came before him didn't change much. When the day was over, Fitch saw Eddie in front of the door of the last manor, and she personally led the last task force.

Feige didn't teleport away as planned, but stood by with his hands behind his back. Seeing this, Eddie handed over the work at hand to someone else and walked quickly to Feige's side. Feige glanced at her, nodded slightly, let Eddie follow, and slowly walked ahead

"Of the twenty, seven surrendered, and the remaining thirteen did not. I fought thirteen battles today, and I don't count how many people I killed, but I counted how many people went to surrender under the white flag after the battle began. Guess how many?"

"Twenty at most. Eddie said.

"Sixteen, three of them were handy but did not surrender, and were forcibly thrown under the banner by me. Feige sighed and said, "I don't like this, this kind of killing is pointless. ”

"Your Majesty, such killings are meaningful, and they have no point in living. Eddie clenched his fist and swung it vigorously in the air, and said indignantly: "If I had half your strength, I would have killed people like them a long time ago! ”

"It's all your troubles for the working group, right?" Fei Qi thought for a moment and said, "Go back and arrange those three troubles to Xia Qi Manor, and I will solve them, it won't take much time." Eddie, I find you angrier than I am, why is that?"

"I've grown potatoes, and I've seen a lot of this kind of thing! I took people to work in various noble domains, but when the farmers heard that the yield was high and that the king would guarantee the purchase, he was actually moved by the simple calculation of the money he earned. It's the lords above who are really stopping them, and they're the ones who are causing me all kinds of trouble!"

"I guess it's not asking for trouble, but insulting you, right? Maxers reported to me that they hurt you with a lot of foul language, and you cried a lot of times, secretly. Oh, I've already lectured Messers not to stalk officials secretly, and the tracking and investigation must be done with my consent. Feige stopped, turned to face Eddie, and said with a look of expectation, "Eddie, tell me why they're against it." ”

Eddie's brows furrowed slightly, she had thought about this question many times before, so she said after a little tidying up: "The first is for power, they think that the king is too deep in control and has entered their power territory, so they oppose it. The second is for the sake of profit, the processing of potatoes is unified by the kingdom and does not use their mills, so there is no income from the mill tax. Thirdly, I don't think they want their farmers to be saturated and rich – especially with our help. ”

"They understand this principle very well, and they often practice this method, so they are very sensitive. ”

"That's right, so most of the noble estates and territories I see are at the same level, and the people below are between eating and starving, and the annual income of the nobles above also fluctuates. I've seen aristocrats complain about their lack of money, but I've never seen them find a way to make money—except to rob others with war. ”

"I point out a mistake on your part, you think of collecting money as making money, and the two words have very different meanings. Robbing the poor to help the rich, robbing others to help oneself, this is called accumulating wealth. Making everyone rich and making themselves rich is called making money. I want the world to be like that. ”

Eddie nodded: "Your Majesty, I compared, our Hall family actually did better than most nobles before, and of course we will do better in the future." ”

"Don't mess with the gold, since I took over the family, you will also follow me to feel the real situation. The farmers and artisans of the Hall family were slightly better than those of the others, but wasn't it all because they had to deal with the Grand Duke of Aria? It's still just self-interest. I stopped spending money, and few nobles were willing to continue their alliance with us. Those guys prove themselves to be unfed. ”

"It's not gold, it's not the same, and the last thing you can do as an emperor is modesty. ”

"Hehe, you also have experience as an emperor?"

"Of course not, no one now! Since the collapse of the Levi Central Empire, the Leighton family has not been emperors for three hundred years, and they have not left a book on how to be emperors. But in the process of promoting potatoes and building roads, and being a lady, I came to the conclusion that when no one knows what to do, don't be modest. The more confident you are, the more you can show your merits and strength, and the more you can convince others, the more likely you are to get things done. Can you say something a little less respectful?"

"That's it, I'll listen to it. ”

"Actually, it doesn't make much difference whether you are an emperor or a king, or you control the country as a behind-the-scenes person, the real difference is whether you are a role model or not. I work hard every day to build roads and farms, so I can ask my men to do the same, and they will get used to it. ”

"It's not undeceiving, but it's very useful. Feige nodded vigorously and said, "From now on, everyone will be staring at me, and then studying and learning from my behavior, and I really should be an example." I've figured it out, let's go back. Just keep those troubles, it's just trouble, he will deal with it after he makes a mistake, there is no need to do such a thing as assassination. ”

"It's not easy to become an emperor, but you still have to follow your own heart, don't be tied. Your Majesty, I think you are very ahead of your time before I am willing to follow you!"

It's not that I'm ahead of my time, it's that the world is too backward and needs me to change it. Feige smiled slightly and said to Eddie: "Your job is very important next, together with Chancellor of the Exchequer Goode, to manage the area controlled by these twenty working groups. Count the fields and population, redistribute the fields, and then the key is to do the spring ploughing in the coming year well. This time, all the money received from the nobles was put into the treasury, and if it was seeds, farm tools, ploughing cattle, and anything related to spring ploughing, you didn't need to report it, just ask Gude for money. ”

Eddie smiled. Only after experiencing the days of being bound hands and feet do you know how wonderful it is to be able to get all the strength to help. However, with greater support comes greater responsibility, and Fitch continued: "Food is the most important job at the moment, and it can only be relied on by you, I don't know much. I will learn, I will keep an eye on it, I will consult with you and set goals, but you can only do the specific work. There must be a good harvest next year, and there is no room for bargaining. If natural disasters and bad weather are good, I will find a solution. The School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will equip the working group with a communication device, and you can mobilize my forces. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't dare. Eddie quickly shook his head.

"You can't dare, but you can't help but do it. This is actually to see if you want to really do practical things, or be careful to maintain face with His Majesty the Emperor. If you do everything you can, mobilize all your strength, and put in all your efforts, there is nothing you can't do!"

"The next year is very crucial, and I don't have enough people to manage it, and I expect a lot of chaos, including bandits," Feige said. The Second World doesn't stop looking, whether it's the Night of the Scarlet Meteor or the Cult of Destruction and Rebirth, they won't stop looking for trouble. There's a lot going on your side, there's a lot on the magic school and the church side, and it's a tough challenge. However, as long as it is done well, that is the greatest opportunity for the empire to break out of its shell and thrive. ”

"Eddie, this year, don't be afraid to make mistakes, don't be afraid to offend people, do it thoroughly. I have your back behind you, and it is they who should be afraid. I don't think they would have been able to come out of their numbness without them feeling completely scared. Restoring pain is the only way to come back to life. ”
