Standing at the top of the Wizard's Tower, overlooking the entire Coldwind City, a sense of power arises.

A city is a settlement that includes residential, commercial, and industrial areas and has administrative functions. Owning a city is equivalent to having strong human and material resources.

Only the lord who owns the city can truly be called a superior, and at least tens of thousands of people obey his orders. It is a platform to show its strengths, and with the help of the ruling institutions, it is possible to accomplish things that ordinary people can unimagin.

"It's no wonder that aristocrats love power in their hands, and the feeling of being in control of their own destiny and that of others is truly ethereal. Standing on a high place, it is as if you have transcended the shackles of the world, and even changed the world. ”

Zhou Qingfeng was on the top of the tower dozens of meters high, feeling the drunkenness brought by power, and also felt that the distance from the bottom had become estranged, "No wonder some people will become" why not eat minced meat'." ”

With an uncontrollable wry smile, he asked Sophia, "Do I look like a fool now?" The kind that gets carried away. ”

The population of Cold Wind City is more than ten times larger than that of the 'Rich and Strong Leader', and the geographical area is even more than a hundred times larger. This step of the leap was beyond the plan, and it also made Zhou Qingfeng feel uncontrollable.

The ruling apparatus could not adapt to this drastic expansion, and it was easy for problems to occur. Both internal corruption and external threats are troubling.

"Hosts, you need a process of adaptation. Our management skills are always better than those of the old-fashioned aristocracy. They can rule peacefully for dozens or hundreds of years, and there is no reason why we will get worse. ”

Shumei has lived for a thousand years, and has experienced more, and is always calmer, "You don't need to restrain yourself too much. There are no outsiders here, so it's good to relax. ”

The grey slave pushed the chaise longue, Erin brought the fruit plate, and the goblins sang and danced.

Zhou Qingfeng leaned back on the recliner, closed his eyes slightly and said to himself: "It's not that simple, but I can finally transform the city according to my own wishes." ”

The cold wind city after dawn has three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. At all street intersections stood the chengguan of the inspection office, the infantry regiment was stationed at the city gates, and the cavalry team searched from house to house, and the whole city was under martial law.

The backbone of the Arad family died in the halls of winter, and the huge family disappeared in an instant. Remnants of the nobility, such as Lehman and Minos, fled a lot, but most of the family's servants and assets remained.

In addition, the wizarding group has almost escaped, leaving only the newly promoted necromantic chief Mundino and some helpless low-level wizards and apprentices.

The eight factions are no longer functioning properly.

Healy stepped forward to take charge of all the chores in the city, first arresting the remaining nobles and screening them one by one. Those who are angry will be hanged directly, and the rest will be placed under residential surveillance, and they will not be allowed to move around.

In the past, no matter how the aristocracy fought among themselves, the lives of ordinary people did not change. But now the sky has changed overnight, and hundreds of gallows have been erected in the square outside the Wizard's Tower, extending all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.

Every few minutes, someone is either shouting, crying and begging, or struggling to resist. The 'Harmony Chamber of Commerce' has been operating in the city for half a year, and it has long been clear who has a black background.

Many aristocratic slaves are pretending to be tigers, and they are more fierce than their masters on weekdays, and the evil consequences they have created are extremely serious.

is like Kent, the old butler of Minoan who was killed by the 'Shadow', bullying the good and abusing civilians is his forte.

Kent died, but many of Kent's aristocratic accomplices did not escape. God knows what these guys think, and one by one they run out after dawn in a vain attempt to join the new master and continue to be in power.

Zhou Qingfeng's ruling system could not tolerate old-fashioned lackeys and executioners, and he just used the lives of these people to appease people's hearts. When they were sent to the gallows with their hands tied behind their backs, they still couldn't understand why His Excellency Hugo didn't accept him?

When the corpses on the gallows were blown like swings by the wind, the inhabitants of the city went from being stunned at first to clapping their hands later. People don't understand exactly what happened, but the new lords are clearly different from the old nobles.

The aristocratic district was the focus of the inventory, and both Johnson and Powell hid in the illusion hut and did not dare to go out. Doodoo was let out to investigate, and the owl flew to a gallows.

Under the gallows, a noble squire was dressed in tatters and covered with whip marks. His hands were tied, and his face was pale as he looked at his fellow human beings who were being hanged one by one, and his body trembled like chaff.

Dudu cautiously leaned over, landed on the man's shoulder, and asked, "Hey, man, what's going on?" Are you going to die? ”

The noble squire turned his head, and the dead fish stared speechless, seeing that his expression was clearly full of doubt, and he was about to have a nervous breakdown.

The owl's eyes were large and deep-set, and he blinked and waited for a long time without getting an answer. It continued, "Dude, say a few words."

I actually want to make a friend before you die, don't you leave some last words? If you don't talk about it, you won't have a chance. ”

It's okay not to ask, but after asking, the noble attendant who was about to be executed stood still, his face was colorless, and his trouser leg was dripping with urine.

The doodle screamed, 'It's disgusting,' flapped its wings and landed on the shoulder of another person waiting to die, and asked the same question, "Hey, friend, how about a few words?" How did you get caught? ”

This time, the target is a thin, middle-aged man with an unhealthy sallow face. He wore a linen jacket, and his face was slapped as if he had been viciously retaliated, and there were not only blood marks, but also swollen old heights.

"What do you want to say?" The thin middle-aged man is a low-level slave, the kind that works for the tiger on weekdays. He spat out a lot of blood from his mouth, "The old man is either dead, or he has fled and left us behind."

The poor ghosts gained power, and they rushed in and arrested people. They hate us, how we hung them in the past, how they hang us now. ”

Many residents gathered around the gallows, and many children as old as seven or eight years old ran up to them and spat on the condemned prisoners with their mouths open.

Seeing this, the residents shouted loudly, and those who followed suit abounded. The stones on the ground were picked up and thrown at them, and they would not retreat until the inspector in charge of the execution came and shouted a few times.

Most of the hanged were men, but occasionally women. The soldiers would take off their coats before the execution and throw them to the residents who watched the excitement.

Every time it is lost, it will cause scrambles and riots, and it will be possible to watch the lively residents tear their faces to grab a piece of clothing.

But the soldiers of the inspection office also took pleasure in humiliating the condemned prisoners and deliberately showing the residents their newfound power.

On the sand table of the Wizard's Tower, you can clearly see every scene in the city, including everything under the gallows. At this moment when the old and the new alternate, the chaos is especially noticeable.

Zhou Qingfeng took a deep breath and pointed to the execution picture that was even more noisy than the vegetable market, "Look, this is a complete farce." No one is nobler than the other, and these are my people. ”

Sophia floated aside and said indifferently: "I think it's good." You can teach them, spur them on. They must comply.

In fact, your transformation of the people at the bottom is very effective. This is true of Harmony Village, and so is the Rich and Strong Collar. I believe that Coldwind City is no exception. ”

Zhou Qingfeng nodded first and shook his head, smiling bitterly.

At the scene of the execution, the aristocratic attendants who peed their pants were dragged to the gallows. When the noose was around his neck, he roared in a torn voice, "Poor ghosts, don't be too happy, the old man will kill you."

One day, your house will be burned down, your children will be thrown into the fire, and your wife will be snatched away.

You'll either be driven into the black mines to death, or you'll be thrown into a water prison and soaked in rotten meat. Wait, you won't be happy for long. ”

The cheering inhabitants under the gallows fell silent for a moment, as if frightened.

As soon as the executing soldier pulled the handle, the trapplate under the torture rack opened, and the noble attendant was stunned and hung in the air, twitching vigorously, and his neck was stretched.

The residents cheered again, smashing the stones they had picked up at the hanged corpse.

A few rocks flew around, smashing the owl into dodging. It cooed, "The poor devils have grown bold, as never before has been seen. ”
