Chapter 361: It's going to change

Nande currently has two castles and two cities, Miguel, Sagesen and Tenier. At the same time, there are also large and small villages and towns around the three cities, all of which are now owned by the Alliance.

This place, as well as the surrounding area, is located on a peninsula east of the huge island of Negan, which is known to the Negan people as the Solo Peninsula.

The alliance of minor lords where Fernande is located is made up of small lords on the Solo Peninsula. The Solo Peninsula is quite peculiar, because although the peninsula is quite large, the place connected to the huge island of Negan is the only way for the ground troops to enter the interior of the Solo Peninsula through this dangerous area. One of the roads was bordered by the sea on one side and the impassable cliffs on the other, and the local lords worked together to build a strong military fortress on this road, which was heavily guarded by one of the most valiant lords on the Solo Peninsula and the second strongest of the minor leagues, Lord Shamas, to resist the attack of the Minotaur Lord Daxto.

The other road is less treacherous. This is a relatively flat road, bordering this area is another high lord Jedette, in order to deal with the attack from Jedt, the small lords in the spirit of harming others and themselves, the small lords in the spirit of harming others and not benefiting themselves, this road is a mess, a good road is constantly made by them deep pits, ditches and meals. What made this road difficult to navigate, as with the other road, was that the small lords also built a large permanent military fortress here, and Chen was heavily armed.

And this area happens to be the border between the two great lords' domains of Daxdor and Jedt. The two sides often have wars, and they are very guarded against each other, and they dare not ignore the fact that the other side is attacking the Solo Peninsula with all their might, and the unique and dangerous terrain has allowed the small lords on the Solo Peninsula to hold out to this day.

But also because of the dangerous terrain, the small lords on the Solo Peninsula feel safe, but also constantly fight with each other, and they all want to unify the Solo Peninsula and become the sole owner of the Solo Peninsula.

This kind of treacherous terrain is also an important reason why Mohor chose this place as the Alliance's base camp in Negan, even if the plan does not go well in the future, the Alliance can manage to unify the Solo Peninsula. Take advantage of the terrain and logistical support from Evermund's Bunnobi to slowly expand against the lords of Negan.

"This will be the fourth borough in our alliance, after the boroughs of Hammondal, Baildes and Evermont! Solo District! "For the sake of convenience, Jian Chen made a simple division of the land owned by the Alliance, of course, the Hammondale Administrative Region is still in the hands of the Erathia Empire, to be recaptured, and the Bailders Administrative Region cannot be exposed, the Alliance really controls all of it, in fact, there is only one Evermont Administrative Region, and now there is a Solo Administrative Region that has just occupied a small part.

To completely control this Solo administrative region, what you have to do is, of course, to consolidate the alliance in the occupied territory first, and at this time, when the other two lords in the small alliance who are relatively high in strength rank are fighting again for some reason, attracting the attention of the other lords, Chen Jian began to let go and do a big job.

First, he issued a notice in the territory in Fernande's name, stating that due to the sudden deterioration of the injuries he had sustained in the previous battle with Xenfrie, Count Fernande was no longer able to govern himself, and that he had temporarily handed over the domain to one of his generals, Arthur. This Arthur is naturally Jian Chen.

The people didn't react much to this announcement, because since the events of Fort Mig. There has been no change in the local area, Count Fernande is still the lord of the area, and a few days ago he came out with injuries and toured all three cities, and many people saw that Count Fernande was wrapped in a thick bandage on his body, and there were signs of blood oozing on it, although he wore a cloak on the outside of his body, but occasionally he still showed the body he wanted to hide when he was active, and his face was quite bad, pale and frightening.

The lords also found that Count Fernand's army seemed to be stronger, because their equipment was much better than before, but the fact that Count Fernand had some unfamiliar faces around him made the lords feel a little strange, but it didn't matter to the lords, as long as Fernand was still their lord. Then nothing will change.

There are also rumors in the territory that the mysterious army is actually the army transferred by Count Fernande from other places, this army is Lord Fernande's last trump card, and it has never appeared in front of people, and Lord Arthur is in charge of commanding, this war with Lord Jeffrey has caused Count Fernande to lose too much, so he has to use this army.

However, the next series of events surprised the people, because Lord Arthur actually issued a proclamation, announcing the cessation of the forced conscription of strong men, and all the soldiers who had been forcibly recruited were disbanded and let them go home.

At first, the lords were skeptical of this proclamation, but on second thought, it was true that the army of Count Fernand had not been seen everywhere during this time, and the large number of young people who returned home afterwards proved the authenticity of this proclamation.

A few days later, Lord Arthur, who was in charge of the territory on behalf of Fernan, suddenly announced that many chaotic and bad taxes would be reduced, and that the agricultural tax to be paid this year would also be halved.

This news made the lords doubt again, for so many years, they had only heard of tax increases, and they really had never heard of tax cuts, could it be that the sun came out in the west, or was this another conspiracy of Count Fernand?

And the Lord Arthur seemed to be uncomfortable without doing something shocking, and then issued a proclamation to recruit labor. It was said that it was a trick to recruit people to repair a large military fortress, and it was quite rich

Although I don't believe that there is such a good thing in this world, but the number of rewards is too exciting, and now it is approaching winter, and everyone has nothing to do in the field, after watching for a few days, some brave guys began to run to the registration office to sign up, but the number is not much. But Master Arthur didn't seem to care about this, and a dozen or so laborers began work that day. Stone and timber are collected and transported to the designated location. And after the evening work was over, I received the newspaper of the day

Looking at the silver coins in their hands, the dozen or so laborers who had been prepared to be deceived suddenly burst into tears of excitement.

The next day, more people came running to sign up, and when they also received the silver coins. All the people were in a stir.

By the third day, there was a long queue at the registration office for those who signed up, and there was a matter of tax deductions. No one doubts it anymore.

For a while, the name Arthur was widely discussed among the people, and everyone wondered how this Arthur dared to be so bold as to be known by Earl Fernand about what he had done. It is estimated that he will not be able to eat and walk around.

"It seems that Count Fernand is really seriously injured! I didn't even know that there was such a thing in my territory, no wonder my face was so bad when I came out to inspect a few days ago."

"It's not just a bad face! I saw it all. Most of his body was covered in bandages! It's red on it, and it is estimated that the wound is too big to heal! ”

"I've heard that Count Fernand is looking around for a mage of the limb system! You don't know, the last battle with Lord Jeffrey. Not only were the two master-level magicians around him killed, but all the expert-level magicians under him were killed, so the Earl became so miserable! Even healing injuries with magic has become a problem! ”

All kinds of rumors circulated in the three cities and large and small villages, but all the lords secretly hoped that Count Fernand would be hung up like this, and then let the kind Lord Arthur be the lord, so that the husband's family would have a good life.

Of course, no one dared to say such a thing, and if it reached the Count of Fernand, it would lead to death.

In the following period of time, Lord Arthur continued to promulgate new policies of this kind and that, and these policies without exception had such and such benefits to the people, and they were definitely called benevolent government, and with the implementation of these policies, Lord Arthur's reputation among the people was also getting higher and higher.

Of course, these things were also known to several surrounding lords through spies, although they did not know the truth of the matter, but these lords did not care about what happened in Fernande's territory.

In their view, perhaps this was just a sign of Fernande's imminent downfall, and Arthur's series of actions were merely to win the support of his lords and army. Negan was never short of conspiracies, and it was not uncommon for the following to mutiny. Just like Morryll, the dragon queen back then, and Daxto, the minotaur of Negan's biggest lord now, all gained everything through betrayal.

Whether or not Fernande really had such a hidden army, and whether Fernande is now under house arrest, one thing is certain. If that Arthur really betrayed Fernande, there would definitely be a conflict between the two sides, Fernande has been in business for so long, and there will be no counterattack at all, and their strength will be more or less damaged because of the conflict, which is a good and harmless thing for other lords, everyone is happy to see it, and some lords are even wondering if they can use this opportunity to take advantage of the chaos from Fernande's territory.

No one doubts Arthur's identity, the name has a strong Negan flavor, and with so many Negans, it's not surprising that some new faces are appearing. Who can guarantee that they know everyone? And this Arthur is also a little too stupid, and he disbands the army and spends money indiscriminately, which looks like a one. A rookie who debuted on the net, if he really killed the Fernand who was in the way, I was afraid that all the Negan lords who played Fernande's territory idea would laugh happily and laugh their big teeth, such an opponent is too easy to deal with!

Only Fernande, who was indeed under house arrest and pretended to be seriously injured, knew how amazing the strength of this young man, who still did not know his true identity and was known as Arthur, had in his hands.

"Solo Peninsula, I'm afraid it's going to change!" The veteran Negan Lord said this to his wife and son. (To be continued)
