Chapter 110: A New Agreement
A rebellion that began in the evening and ended at dawn the next day with only ruins and corpses on the ground. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The rebels were interrogated secretly and then executed or imprisoned. The newly assigned security administrators stationed throughout the city of Ontario were busy directing the crowd to save themselves while trying to control the people's discourse. A leaflet, dictated by the Grand Duke of Efe, was soon posted all over the city.
"The rebel leader Posaddo colluded with the Night Race to besiege the Andelity Church and then attack the Grand Duke's Palace. Throughout the process, the public team put up a desperate resistance, and finally succeeded in defeating the Night Race. Enemy Posador died in the chaos"
In this way, everything was pushed onto the dead Marquis Posado. Grand Duke Efe even pretended to invite the fugitive clergy back to Ontario, as a sign that he had nothing to do with the siege of the Night Race.
This grossly clumsy lie turned out to have an effect very quickly. The minds of the commoners have always been easily controlled by the official narrative, and some of them have even seen the Duke of Baria and the Night Race side by side, but now they are willing to believe the proclamation rather than their own eyes. It has to be said that it is a very simple matter for the official to use means to "fool the people".
And for those who are very thoughtful and unwilling to tell lies, the measures taken by the Principality are also clean: the light ones are arrested for spreading rumors, and the heavy ones are directly killed. In this kind of thing, killing a handful of people in the Duchy is as simple as tickling.
The Grand Duke of Efe returned to the Grand Duke's palace early the next morning. Everything in the huge Grand Duke's Mansion has been cleaned, leaving no traces of blood at all. But just a few hours ago, hundreds of people had been killed, and the blood had stained the staircase dozens of meters long and several meters high purple red.
The reason why all this was restored so quickly has to do with the effective dispatch of Duke Baria. But since the Grand Duke of Effie arrived at the Sheriff's Office after the rebellion was quelled, he has not officially spoken a word to the Duke of Baria, let alone praise.
This indifference led some to speculate that the Grand Duke might have been wary of the Duke of Baria, or that the Posado's rebellion had something to do with the Duke's usual lax supervision.
Of course, there are some non-conspiracy theorists who feel that this does not mean anything, perhaps just because the relationship between the two is so good that there is no need to say much at all.
However, regardless of the true purpose of the Grand Duke of Efe, the Duke of Baria was ready to act. In the inner courtyard of the Sheriff's Office, when Anne whispered if the Duke needed a bigger deal, the Duke nodded almost without hesitation.
And this bigger deal is the life of the Grand Duke of Efe, and the throne of the new Grand Duke.
As for how to do it, the Duke of Barria did not adopt the method of "controlling or killing the Archduke Efe on the spot" as Anne said, but chose to observe for a while. This was not because Bordeaux's experience had made him indecisive, but because the old duke was not entirely sure of his prestige, fearing that doing so would cause the nobles to attack him.
Right now, Anne and Peck the Dog are in the inner courtyard of the Sheriff's Office, boredly discussing Duke Barria's next steps.
"At present, although the entire Ontario has a security administration temporarily formed by the nobles to maintain order, after such a blow, it is not so simple to fully recover. It only takes a small force to intervene that threatens to destroy the rule of the Grand Duke of Efe. ”
The vicious dog Pijie made an analysis to himself, and then shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the Duke of Baria's network of influence has not been formed, so he can't rashly take measures against the Grand Duke of Efe. If the Grand Duke of Efe had been a few minutes late, the rest would have been easier if the nobles present had expressed their willingness to support the Duke of Barria. ”
Now, troops stationed elsewhere in the Duchy of Finnier were moving towards Ontare. Once they got here, it would be even more troublesome for the Duke of Baria to try to do something.
But Anne didn't care. After listening to Piger's analysis, Xiao Nizi fiddled with her beautiful fingers and said, "But there are some things you may not know. ”
Pije looked up at her suspiciously.
"Two of the sons of the Grand Duke of Efe died, as did the three daughters. His sisters, his sisters, all died. Only one wife survived last night's rebellion, and the wife of the Grand Duke happened to be the sister of the Duke of Baria. ”
Piggie understood what Anne meant. In other words, the closest person to the Grand Duke of Efe at the moment, apart from his wife, turned out to be the Duke of Baria.
So what needs to be done now is to create a way for the Grand Duke of Efe to die. As long as the death of the Grand Duke does not have anything to do with the Duke of Baria, then the only one who is most qualified to succeed to the position of Grand Duke is the Duke.
This line of thinking was soon confirmed. Only in the evening of the same day, news of the violent death of the Grand Duke of Efe spread in the Grand Duke's palace.
Later, the Proclamation of the Duchy of Finnier claimed that the death of the Grand Duke of Efe was caused by a guard who had poisoned his food, causing him to be poisoned. According to the investigation after the fact, it is very likely that this guard was related to the Posador rebellion.
Although this statement has puzzled many, it is only agreed with this statement because the Archduke of Efe and the guards are dead and there is no proof of death.
After this, the Duke of Baria successfully won the support of most nobles. Only some of the generals stationed in other regions insisted that this was a conspiracy of the Duke of Baria, and resolutely refused to obey the command.
Thus, the secret deal between the Duke and Anne came into play in this situation. The Night Race overwhelmingly wiped out all the armies that refused to support and obey the Duke of Baria. The Night Mages even used "Soul Control" to transform some of the captive High Knights into Night Knights to serve the Night Legion.
A few days later, the Duke of Baria, supported by everyone, entered the Grand Duke's palace in a very high-profile manner and began his years as the Grand Duke of Baria.
One of the first things he did when he came to power was to call on the fugitive clergy to return to Ontario, and promised that the new government would give them strict protection, provided that the Church signed a new agreement.
