Chapter 120: The Coming Storm
87_87410As the screams and fights in the lord's mansion faded over time, Seria walked out with a dozen women and several children.
"What's going on with them?" Twilight looks at the men and frowns.
"These people are family members." Selia said that in the face of these unarmed people, Selia couldn't do anything at all.
Glancing at the women and children following Selia, Twilight said lightly, "This is the only time, I don't want to see anything like this next time."
Hearing Twilight's words, Selia smiled slightly and hurriedly asked the woman and child behind her to leave.
Looking at the woman and child who were leaving quickly, Twilight said, "You know what? Letting go of these dozen people means that I will have a dozen more potential enemies in the future, and maybe one day I will die at the hands of one of the children. ”
"I'm sorry, I just can't do it." Selia apologized that these women and children were innocent Darius people, and Thelia really couldn't do it.
"Apologize, let it go, but it's better that this is the last time." Twilight shakes her head and smiles at Selia.
Although Twilight is a little angry that Theria did not fully carry out his orders, he can't lose his temper with Thalia, not only because Thalia is a girl, but also because Theria has always been by his side, and Twilight treats Theria more as her companion than a subordinate.
Seeing that the Lord's Mansion troops have all come out, Twilight calls both Firas and Reyna over and begins to assign tasks.
"Selia, now you take the dreadnought warriors to take over the two gates of Egravin, and if there are any disobedient ones, kill them on the spot." Twilight says to Theria.
"Good!" When it comes to business, Selia suddenly regains her military demeanor.
Twilight then says to Reyna Icespear, "Rena, I'm going to ask you to send someone to Eglaven for any news you might get."
"Yes!" Reyna answered and turned to go down.
"Firas, post the official document of the arrival of the new lord, and leave the defense of the lord's mansion to you." Twilight finally says to Filas Swift.
"No problem!" Firas nodded.
After commanding the three of them, Twilight doesn't rush into the lord's mansion, but all the remaining soldiers are gathered.
Looking at the fearless recruits assembled, Twilight was silent for a moment and said, "Today you have disappointed me very much, as a soldier, where is your heroism and bravery, today I only see hesitation, shrinkage, and fear in you."
After a pause, Twilight continued with a sigh of relief, "Since you are already soldiers, then you should look like soldiers, and from today onwards I will make another rule, if there is anyone who retreats from the battle and is afraid to make a move, I will directly turn him into a slave again."
As soon as Twilight's words came out, there was a voice of discussion below, and Twilight said again: "Listen, unqualified people will become slaves again, but I will also reward and promote those who are excellent, what kind of person you want to become, you choose for yourself, that's all, in a word, I don't want cowards in my team, and cowards only deserve to be slaves."
With Twilight leaving all the recruits to reflect on their spots, he leads the others into the Lord's Mansion.
The Lord's Mansion is where the lords have lived for generations, so many lords have directly built their Lord's Mansion into a small fortress, and the Lord's Mansion built by Count Love is no exception.
Initially, the Lord's Mansion built by Count Love was only 5,000 square meters, but it was later expanded to 10,000 square meters.
Walking into this lord's mansion that belongs to him in the future, Twilight inspected the entire lord's mansion little by little, the lord's mansion in front of him is divided into two parts, the front hall is three floors, there are halls, guest rooms, training grounds, entertainment facilities, and more lookouts, from this lookout you can overlook most of the town of Egravin, and the apse is also a three-story place where relatives live, and there is a green belt and a fountain between the front and back two buildings, but there are corridors on the second floor that can be communicated, and there are two rows of bungalows on the side of the front hall, This is supposed to be the room where the squires live.
Twilight inspected the rooms of the Lord's Mansion one by one and made a general understanding, at this time Firas had already sent people to clean up the traces of the battle, and arranged for people to start patrolling, and because this place was used as the station of the three major chambers of commerce before, almost every room was used, and now there are many goods and money hoarded by the three major chambers of commerce, which undoubtedly made Twilight make a windfall again.
After asking Zagrel to gather the goods and coins, Twilight circles around the Lord's Mansion again, there is an open space on the left side of the Lord's Mansion, and Twilight plans to turn this place into a future barracks, but that is for later, and the soldiers are still living in tents.
In the evening, the whole Egraven knew that His Majesty Danas V had sent a new lord, and this lord also attacked the station of the three major chambers of commerce and forcibly occupied the lord's mansion, for which the residents of the entire Egraven town applauded and shook their heads and regretted it, but there were also people who looked forward to the new lord being able to defeat those chambers of commerce that specialized in sucking human blood, after all, the thousands of soldiers who entered the town today were not fake, in short, most people were waiting for the follow-up development of things, They knew the chambers weren't going to stop there.
Reyna Icespear, who was out to find out the news, was also talking to Twilight from the lookout at the Lord's Mansion.
"You say the three chambers of commerce are very unpopular in Eglawen?" Twilight asks after listening to Rena's narration.
"Well, yes, now the tax revenue around the entire Eglavin is ten to seven, and almost all the commoners have to pay everything except for their own food every year, if it weren't for the fact that this place is close to the Darren River, and the annual harvest is better, I'm afraid the people in the town would not be able to survive for a long time." Reyna said 1510 behind Twilight.
Nodding, this kind of result is inevitable, the merchants are profit-seeking, so they will not rule the life and death of the civilians, and this is what Twilight wants, the more unpopular the three chambers of commerce, the more conducive it is for him to control Eglaven.
"How many people are in the town now?" Twilight asks again, this is also a matter of concern to him, and the size of the population is related to his future strategic deployment of the entire Preto Glade.
"Now there are about 7,000 to 8,000 households in the whole of Eglaven." Reyna gave an approximate number.
"Seven thousand households, that is, less than 40,000 people, is not bad in terms of population." Twilight said that 40,000 people are already the largest in the town, almost comparable to a small city, and it has surprised Twilight that there are so many people in Eglaven over the years, in fact, the population of Eglaven has lost a lot over the years, and the population of Eglaven at its peak once exceeded 50,000, but the years of fighting and the heavy taxes of merchants have made many people who are overwhelmed choose to leave their homes, and of course, there are so many people left who can also benefit from Eglaven's superior location.
"Have you arranged for the people to be sent to monitor the chambers of commerce and the barracks?" Twilight asks.
"It's arranged, they're already watching." Reyna said.
Twilight nodded, saying that having a capable subordinate would make people worry a lot less, and gave Reyna a few more words, and Twilight turned her head and began to quietly admire the dark town of Eglaven, where he would take root.
And while Twilight was quietly admiring the town of Eglavon, the six people with the highest authority in the three chambers of commerce had also gathered in a compound north of the town of Eglaven, where they had been sitting for an afternoon.
"What are you going to do?" It was a man with a goatee who was the second-in-command of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce in the Preto area, and now the death of the number one leader, Arthur, made him the top head of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, a bearded man leaning against the wall first glanced at the silent old man Anthony, then turned to look at Banjes, who was sitting in the corner of the Windranger Chamber of Commerce, and said, "What do you think?"
This bearded man's name is Ruif, and he is the fleet leader of the Golden Maple Chamber of Commerce, in charge of all the fleets of the Golden Maple Chamber of Commerce in the Preto region, and he is a seventh-order master.
Hearing Ruiff's question, Banjes pursed his somewhat thin lips and said, "You can do whatever you say, haven't we always looked at you as the head of the Windranger Chamber of Commerce!"
"If you want me to say it, just do it, the three chambers of commerce have been in the same breath for so many years, and the branch president Arthur died in front of our eyes like this, this tone makes no sense, so we can endure it like this." A man in silver armor said. He is the supreme commander of the caravan soldiers in Eglavin Town, and is mainly responsible for the security of Eglavin Town in peacetime, and he is also a seventh-order master.
"Yes, we have always been in the same spirit, and Arthur's death this time is definitely a great shame for our three major chambers of commerce, and it is absolutely unbearable." Goatee, the second-in-command of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, said that he also had his own purpose in saying this, Arthur died like this, if he could help the Dawn Chamber of Commerce get back face, then the position of the number one in the future Prito region would almost certainly be his.
"Okay, in that case, you all go down and prepare!" Anthony, who had been silent at the hearing of Goatee's words, sighed, but in his heart he didn't agree with Twilight in such a hurry.
Anthony spoke, and the other five people present had different expressions, but most of them were excited, only Banjes of the Windranger Chamber of Commerce had an inexplicable glint in his eyes.
