Then.

There was a constant discussion in the hall about the distribution of the fruits of victory after the murder of Griff.

There were not only the two dukes who controlled the small principality with a population of more than 100,000 people, but also some of their retainers, generals, and guild warriors, all of whom were in high spirits and exchanged heads and talked about each other on the left and right sides.

There is also a low table to sit on in a higher status, although it is only a simple long table that can be placed on the bed of the kang, but compared to the subordinates who are not qualified to sit in the back, it naturally highlights the identity of the leader and boss.

In this coup d'état, many of the original neutral local wizards changed their banners from the foreign colonial company forces and defected to the local forces represented by the Duke of Bartholomew and the Duke of Maligaro.

Of course.

As a matter of fact.

The impact and struggle between the traditional factions represented by the local aristocratic forces and the violent groups of foreign capital have always been in a state of see-saw.

The local forces are afraid of the Syndicate Federation, a huge latent force that has been passed down for thousands of years and has branches across continents and countries, including mercenaries and other violent gangs at all levels, such as so-called professional guilds, martial arts schools, and security companies, as well as some hidden wizard killers, assassins and the like.

Naturally, there is no chance that the forces that can inherit for a long time can be left to chance, and they also have such training institutions such as wizarding academies opened in various places, which can continuously cultivate young spellcasters who are the new blood of the organization.

In the past 100 years.

These colleges under the command of the Syndicate Federation have even given birth to a full seven legendary spellcasters, which is more than half of the current seats within the Federation - the top twelve elders of the Federation, all of whom are wizards who have entered the legendary realm.

The other middle and high-level wizards were like ears of rice waiting to be harvested in autumn, grabbing a big stubble.

Although some of these people have left the syndicate federation and joined other well-paid nobles and kingdoms.

However, the huge potential influence of this kind of protégé and old connections is really worthy of the great fear of many mainland powers.

And for foreign forces to tame the local forces of this backward continent, it will take a long time to operate and infiltrate, and even if the legendary wizard Griff spends decades, he can only achieve superficial suppression.

You must know that in the era of seizing the gods thousands of years ago, an astonishing number of legendary powerhouses also emerged in this continent, although they disappeared at the last moment of the end of the era of the gods in the subcontinent, but who knows if these monsters are still living in seclusion in a corner of the continent?

All in all, it is very inefficient for the ruling class to violently control a continent.

This kind of thing is not a problem that can be solved by simple slavery like brainwashing black slaves into the bottom of the labor force, and the black slaves themselves are not highly motivated to work.

Syndicates have long experimented with labor and the social environment in some of the countries they control.

They find that giving civilians a sense of security, glory, and confidence stimulates them to constantly consume comparisons and inflate their vanity.

Only then will the production efficiency of all classes from top to bottom reach the highest degree of spontaneous efficiency and enthusiasm.

As long as some macroeconomic financial control measures are finally used, the currency will slowly depreciate and quietly plunder the wealth they create.

So~

Many civilians have worked hard to accumulate wealth for most of their lives, so that their wealth has changed from the amount calculated in silver coupons to the amount calculated in gold coupons.

But I was surprised to find that my savings had depreciated, and even a fraction of the property in the past could buy half of the house.

And now, after a hundredfold increase in the amount, the money can only buy a bathroom area in a mansion in a first-tier city.

This is a more sophisticated invisible means of plunder and domination than violent slavery.

After all.

The nobles and foolish people of these backward continents do not understand the rules of financial operation, and they do not know who used means to devalue the money in their hands, and the wealth of their lives disappeared invisibly.

This.

It's just that because the two sides worked together to get rid of a traitor and a new dictator from the syndicate, the local aristocratic forces that secretly supported it temporarily got an extra piece of the pie.

Of course, in addition to extending the olive branch of the local raw materials, products and other bulk goods, the distribution of the benefits of ocean trade exported to the continent of Palmers and even the continent of Yahweh, the Syndicate also planted the violent organization cultivated under the command of the Tyrannical Guild into the city to firmly control one of the links of force.

The butler first bowed slightly to the other foreign duke in the top position, and nodded first.

With a respectful look that did not squint, he saluted again to the duke's daughter, Miss Zana, who exuded a fatal allure like a peach, and a mature feminine atmosphere.

Zana was smiling as she reminisced about the young and childish taste of the little girl Patyusha.

Seeing this, she didn't say much, just smiled and nodded her chin to the butler, which was an appropriate return gift that was more in line with her status, after all, a duke butler also had a high status.

Followed by.

The old butler lifted the left forefoot and heel of his leather boot slightly, made a 60-degree left turn similar to a military posture, and bowed his head to his master, the Duke of Bartholomew, with his hands down, and whispered about the situation in the city.

Some of the warriors of the Violent Blood Guild in the other halls also narrowed their eyes, and they all saw something from his footwork, this butler was born from the duke's strict style of military warriors.

Duke Bartholomew is discussing some future cooperation with other warriors of the Tyrannical Guild, preparing for them to take over the power that originally belonged to the Desert Merry Warriors.

In fact, it is mainly the martial arts halls of all levels above and below the army and the corresponding security points in the city.

As soon as the original ruler falls, some officials who were originally cultivated may "gratitude" the kindness of the old lord and do something unfavorable to the new forces, so not only Sarn City needs to select and replace officials, but even the surrounding countries and cities have some influence.

Originally, Griff had more or less installed some of his own people in the surrounding countries and independent cities, and let those people become the city lord or second-in-command and other roles to override the local aristocratic forces.

Because these people are widely distributed, they have a lot at stake.

Therefore, it is the best policy to eliminate those restless old courtiers, or to come forward to appease and take them for their own use.

Of course, those who are stubborn, let them follow the old master to the earth.

The old butler hurriedly told the two corpses of the traitors that Hamlet had just encountered and forcibly killed outside the city, and reported his speculation to the two dukes.
