As soon as he finished the restructuring of the Governor's Guard, Dane ran into a troublesome matter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Freya's woman came to the door again.

The female paladin Freya has been recuperating from her injuries in Ghost Knife Harbor for almost a month, and she has only recently recovered.

With this cultivation, she remembered her duty - they also had to rid Cinderella of the demons.

She didn't come looking for it, and Dane couldn't remember it yet. When she came, Dane remembered that he had an account that he hadn't settled with the priests.

All this time, Dane didn't have time to deal with them, but this didn't mean that Dane didn't know who was fueling the trouble in Ghost Knife Harbor when he was conducting the purification ritual of the evil god's tentacles in Komira more than a month ago.

Who else could there be but these priests?

Those who had the motivation to do such a thing, those who had the ability to do such a thing, and who had a relatively deep knowledge of intelligence, there was no one else on the island of Komyrya at that time except these priests.

The reason why he didn't make a mistake at that time was, on the one hand, considering that there was no conclusive evidence, it was not easy for Dane to directly attack the clerical corps of the Holy See, which was well-known throughout the continent; Moreover, at that time, the purification ceremony was in progress, and later his energy was involved in the construction of the dungeon, Shadoolet, and the restructuring of the Governor's Guard, and he never had the time to deal with these people.

And Dane doesn't pay attention to them, they still dare to come to the door?

It's self-defeating.

Of course, Freya refused to admit it. However, in the end, when Dane captured the adventurers who had direct contact with the Priesthood and were responsible for spreading the news in Ghost Knife Harbor, Freya had nothing to say.

In the end, this clerical group of the Holy See was 'gifted' out of the territory by Dane - of course, if you want to say that it is expelled, then Dane will never admit it.

In fact, Cinderella Dane was going to fight anyway, and if it had been before, he wouldn't mind taking this holy church priesthood with him. After all, there are more than sixty clergy, and the average professional level is eight or nine levels, how can it be regarded as a relatively powerful force, and they are all paladins and priests who use holy power, and the role they can play in the battle of purifying demons should still be very large.

But now, Dane doesn't have that idea. The reason is simple, these people have suffered very serious losses after the battle under the island of Komya. There are only a dozen people who can hold on and wait for Dane's support to leave the underground world alive, and several of them have lost most of their combat effectiveness forever because of their injuries.

Such a team no longer has any combat power, so Dane naturally doesn't value them so much.

What's more, these priests, including Freya, are a group of people who don't obey orders, and if they go to war, they must always worry that this group of people will act without permission, and it will be easy to cause trouble. Moreover, relying on the status of the Holy See, Dane will also find it tricky how to deal with them.

It can't help, but it's very likely to cause chaos, such people, what is Dane taking them for?

Just blast away and pull down.

However, before blasting them away, Dane decided to give them a little 'sweetness'.

The sweetness of this so-called sweetness was the news that Cecilia had received when she returned from the dark jungle that the peaceful land had now become a paradise where the Church of the Damned was rampant. Dane didn't know if the Holy See had gotten this information—he reckoned the fanatics to know about it. But he didn't mind at all going through other channels to continue to put a little pressure on the Holy See.

After all, if the Holy See was willing to deal with the bastards of the Church of the Damned, Dane would welcome it with his hands and feet up.

……

At this moment, the time has come to the height of Hindlaire's summer, and at this time, Dane has also decided to do it.

The target he wants to do is the warlord forces in the east and west directions with the White Wolf Fort as the coordinates.

Schindlaire is a land of warlords, and since that is the case, there are not only big warlords but also many small warlords.

And these little warlords, Dane has not found time to clean up, but sooner or later he will have to get rid of them all.

After all, he was not satisfied with just being a governor of Schindlaire, he wanted to be king, he wanted to end Schindlaire's hundred years of turmoil, and establish a truly unified, centralized state, then he would never tolerate the existence of all kinds of warlords in his own land.

The first ones to be cleaned up are the guys from the east.

From the White Wolf Fort to the northeast, the normal marching speed has been walking for more than half a month, and it is the Beast Blood Fort. But in fact, in this land between the White Wolf Castle and the Beast Blood Castle, which is half a month long and nearly two hundred kilometers away, there are three small warlord forces.

'Evil Eye' Bailgen, 'Executioner' Molotto, 'Blind Dragon' Odao.

These three small warlords were nominally allies of Dane during the war a year earlier. They are sandwiched between the White Wolf Castle and the Beast Blood Castle, and if there is no suspense, they must join the battle line between him and Ou Ze, otherwise, it will not be possible to exist until today.

It's just that the war didn't really threaten their own interests -- small warlords, who usually only focused on their own one-third of an acre of land, where did they have the mind to care about the general trend?

It is precisely because of this that they did not go into battle in person, but under the orders of Ou Ze, or under the threat, a total of more than 2,000 soldiers were sent to join Ou Ze's army.

It's a complete make-up. In essence, their troops did not hold out until the start of the big war, and in the fierce battle of Ice Cave City in the early stage, they were almost consumed as cannon fodder.

When the war was won, and Oze was gone, and Dain became the de facto governor of Hindlaire, they soon sent envoys to show their submission to Dain. They see Dane as if they were Ozer in the past, and they don't mind giving a portion of their territory to Dane as tribute, nor do they mind sending troops to help Dane in the fight when he needs it.

In their opinion, such an indication is enough. But in Dane's eyes, that wasn't enough.

The future of Hindlaire of Dane, there is no place for a warlord. There were only two ways he left for the three men:

Complete surrender of authority, or death.

……

New Caesar 218, June 17.

Hindlaire, who had been calm for half a year, had another storm. The governor of Sindlaire, Dane 'the Wolf', issued an order to the three warlords northeast of Castle Whitewolf.

The decree was signed by Dane himself in the form of a letter, and a messenger was sent to deliver it to the three men, and then, in the name of the Governor of the Territory, was made public in the White Wolf Castle.

On the letterhead of the decree, write this line: "Notice of Trial Implementation of the Local Government System in the Sweet Water Island Region".

The content of this decree is very simple, the so-called Sweetwater Island area is the place from the northeast of the White Wolf Fort to the Beast Blood Castle. The so-called 'local government system' has clearly told the three warlords of Sweetwater Island that I want to turn Sweetwater Island into a local government, and you warlords must make way for me.

In fact, the content of this decree is similar.

Require all illegal military groups in the Sweetwater Chau area to disarm within a one-month time limit and wait for the next steps and orders; All the industries in the Sweetwater Island area are required to take stock on their own, and an administrative officer sent by the Governor's Office will inspect them in a month; A month later, the Sweetwater Island County Government will be established, and all administrative affairs in the Sweetwater Island area will be taken over by the local government. All military forces will be under the direct command of the Governor.

Dane's decree is no less than the death penalty for the three warlords of the 'evil eye' Baiergen, the 'executioner' Molotto, and the 'blind dragon' Odao.

If the decree is really implemented, doesn't it mean that the three of them are completely finished? The army was handed over within a time limit, the power was handed over within a time limit, and the property was inventoried......

The military power, administrative power, and economic property were all handed over, which was obviously to force the three of them to death.

That's what Dane is all about.

He would never be naïve to think that if he became the governor of the entire territory of Sindelair, he would really be destined to dominate the whole country. Warlords are not going to give up power in their hands, and they are especially unlikely to give up their armies. In such a situation, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between him and the local warlords.

Needless to say, as long as Dane demanded that someone surrender the army, the warlords would not be able to obey.

War, obviously, is an inevitable thing.

That being the case, Dane doesn't intend to be accommodating in the executive decree at all.

Still, Dane gave them a choice.

In fact, after Dane sent a delegation of envoys on the surface to send the "Notice" to the three warlords in the Sweetwater Continent area, he also handed them a private letter.

The content of a private message will not be as cold as a public executive decree.

In a private message, Dane explained to them his desire to put an end to the secession of the local warlords in Sindelair and to establish peace. Of course, these statements naturally cannot have any influence on the warlords, they are warlords, and they are not idealists, how can they be willing to hand over power in the midst of Dane's empty words?

If you want to convince others, it is natural that you must have real interests.

At the end of the private message, Dane made a clear promise that as long as they surrendered their army and took off their status as warlords, Dane would definitely give them an explanation.

This confession, in Dane's own opinion, is still relatively generous.

If they wished, they could join Dane's legion and simply serve as a general.

They will have a relatively high starting point, become a high-ranking officer in Dane's military group, take on certain responsibilities according to their respective abilities, and in the future, like everyone else, they will be promoted according to military merit, without the slightest bias.

If they don't want to continue to serve in the army, it doesn't matter, Dane can set aside a part of the land and let them run it as a merchant or a landlord, not the land, and give a part of the city's industry, then it is okay, or simply give a lot of money.

And, regardless of which path they choose, whether to join the army or to be disarmed and repatriated, Dane is willing to provide some economic and political benefits.

For example, the annuity system, the tax in the Sweetwater Island area, a certain percentage of the tax is set aside for a certain number of years as their personal income. Politically, Dane decided to implement the honorary aristocracy system, giving certain political privileges and preferential treatment.

This is Dain taking their future and guaranteeing them half of their wealth for the rest of their lives in exchange for them handing over the authority of the warlords.

And if they don't, then Dane won't be polite to them at all.

The Governor's Guards Corps, an elite unit of 10,000 people, which had just completed the restructuring not long ago, was ready to go.

The actions of the Governor's Guards were not hidden at all, and they were placed on the border of the White Wolf Castle near the Sweetwater Continent area.

This legion is like a sharp knife that Dane puts on the necks of the three warlords, and the private letter that is handed to them is the candy that Dane holds in his other hand. And his meaning is obvious.

"Sugar or a knife? Take your pick. ”

The reactions of the three warlords varied.

'Evil Eye' Baiergen seemed hesitant, and after being notified, there was not much movement in his sphere of influence. There was no preparation for the battle, no positive response to Dane's notice, and no reply to Dane's legations. According to the news from the eyeliner planted next to him, Baiergen, who was a businessman in his early years, is currently in a state of flux, and he seems to be watching the actions of the other two.

The reaction given by 'Blind Dragon' Odao was not bad, and he communicated with Dane very frequently through Dane's envoys. This old man, who is already over the age of six, wants to know how much he can gain if he hands over his authority. Judging by his attitude, he should just want to continue to bargain, to treat the power in his hands as a commodity, and to raise the price of the sale a little higher.

As for Molotto the 'Executioner', his reaction was the most violent. He withheld the envoy sent to his domain, and a week later publicly executed Dane's envoy with a cruel statement: "That wolf cub thinks he is invincible? Bullshit! If you have a kind of son of a bitch, come to Sweetwater Island to try, and Lao Tzu will definitely use the tomahawk to teach him an unforgettable lesson, let him know that in the land of Schindlaire, it is not his mongrel who has the final say! ”

After reading Moloto's original words clearly written in the information sent back, Dane sneered and tore the letter into pieces, threw it in the trash, and then said softly:

"Want to die? I will fulfill you. ”
