Walking into the hall of the castle, under the light of the circle of candlesticks, the long wooden tables are full of food, there are incense in the corners around the corner, the smell of barbecue mixed with spices has long filled the whole hall, the servants carry barrels and barrels of wine, the huge stone columns, the skylights with portraits, and the noisy crowds, all of which seem to be very prosperous and cheerful. But Tuga, dressed in civilian clothes, just stood at the door and watched it all coldly.
This is a manor not far from the car, and it is full of former lords of Nord, these nobles who have come out of nowhere, and they want to take back the land from Tuga. Seeing that these rotten nobles who had either fled in embarrassment or had become traitors, feasted on wine and meat, and had a good conversation, Tugara put on his hood, turned around and left coldly.
During the night, the soldiers of the brigade surrounded the manor, and in the sky rockets, the manor was burned. During this period, these people not only obstructed Tuga from demolishing the castle, but even killed many workers, and the most odious thing was that they actually recruited some private troops to cause chaos everywhere, robbed the people, and even ceded land and self-government, completely without Kanga.
Initially, these men secretly banded together to occupy the castle that Tuga had promised to the rebels, and most of the rebel leaders of civilian origin were secretly killed, while the rest of the few powerful were expelled. At first, Tuga didn't care about the internal struggle of the rebels, but then these people didn't know where to find countless nobles, and gathered some people, and they became more and more bold, and the final outcome was the scene above. Tuga just asked Chanda Town to 'connect' for a while, but he didn't expect these guys who were carried away by Tuga's acquiescence to come in an all-round way. At the same time, the castle promised to the rebels was burned down by Tuga, and all the captured private soldiers became slaves, which happened to require a lot of labor.
The reason why Ragnar finally found Tuga was also because he hated these traitors to the extreme, of course, Tuga did not complain like Ragnar, he would only use actions to solve the problem. Of course, there are naturally fish that slip through the net, but there is nothing to hide under the eyes of Mama Tea's falcon. While dealing with these nobles, Tuga also supported many rebels led by poor people. Let them disperse and infiltrate the territory currently occupied by the dark Ones. On the one hand, it reconnoiters the enemy's situation, and on the other hand, it promotes Tuga, and the ultimate goal is to infiltrate and secretly mobilize the locals to rise up and fight.
Tuga really wanted to directly carry out a land reform and let the enemy drown in the sea of the people's war, but he had to give up considering the great harm to the people, and he dared to do so to be the enemy of the entire aristocratic system, and it may be estimated that other countries would put aside the dark forces and directly unite to eliminate him first.
Even if he can't start a people's war, Tuga will definitely centralize power at present, and he has even begun to create the Starlight Divine Cult now, using the derivative concept of qi attack as a doctrine to preach the truth, purify people's minds, and stimulate people's fighting spirit, of course, to prepare for the **** in the future. Now the Astral God Cult has relied on the true power of manifestation, relying on the superiority of the essence and doctrine that is far stronger than other religions, so that many weak people with pure beliefs and clear ideas have understood the power of qi strikes, and have become strong people who can realize their own ideas, and when people really feel the power, this is more convincing than anything else. Because of the continuous expansion of the base, more and more people have comprehended the Qi Shock, and the Starlight Divine Cult has begun to spread to other countries. And Tuga, the 'Son of Morning Light', naturally became the center of faith, he made the weak strong, let everyone have their true selves, and let people live with unprecedented clarity. People are full of positive forces, and his rule has begun to metamorphose into a true utopia.
The power of the unity of all is so powerful, and the dawn that rises to the sky in the nest car makes the plane consciousness all shocked, and an unprecedented fear arises spontaneously in the heart of the plane consciousness. He was afraid of this future that he could not control, the original cycle of light and darkness, and the balance of all things, seemed to be about to be broken by the dawn. Even the Holy King Leon is just a pawn in the hands of fate, and the huge power that Tuga is doing is completely beyond the control of fate. If Tuga's Cult of the Astral Gods enlightens all of Calradia, then the existing darkness will melt away. When everyone has found their own way and everyone can become a god, who will still believe in the existing gods? Without the invasion of darkness, who will yearn for the light?
In order to maintain balance, the plane consciousness has once again opened a back door to the dark god, this time the dark god will resurrect a large number of undead in the continent of Calradia, and will flood the dawn brought by Tuga with an endless sea of undead. Not only to destroy Tuga, but also to bring unprecedented darkness to Calradia, to bring an end to life, and to sing the song of death......
On the 14th day of May in the 1261 calendar of the Carradia calendar, it was a dark day, the gray sky did not have a ray of sunshine, and a cold wind blew across the continent, and at midnight, green rain fell from the sky...... Countless resting figures stood like bamboo shoots emerging from the ground, and then began to wander gently in the boundless wilderness. In the dense cemetery, the battlefield where the corpses were thrown, countless white bones had already been squeezed together, with the penetration of raindrops, the dead in the depths were awakened, but there was no place for them to stand on the ground, they still stubbornly climbed out, and the companions at the beginning, they continued to crawl out of the ground, pushing the companions higher and higher, and finally turning into mountains of bones......
The night was getting deeper, and the gloom was even colder, and suddenly the sky fell gray-black mist, and the gray mist gradually drifted into the people's dwellings, it seemed to have life, dodging the flames, and then penetrated into the bodies of the sleepers through its nostrils, and in a moment, some began to convulse, some lost their breath, and only those who were vigorous would wake up violently, with their eyes open, gasping like wild beasts, and they seemed to have endless anger to vent......
A large amount of gray fog gathered in the nest, and at its densest point, it was as thick as ink, and it seeped through various crevices into the castle and converged towards Tuga's bedroom. They even extinguished the fires along the way, and finally turned into a black-clad Grim Reaper with a scythe in Tuga's room, while Tuga fell asleep. The Grim Reaper floated in front of Tuga, looked at Tuga coldly with his dark dead eyes, and then raised his scythe and slashed at Tuga's neck... The expansion of the army is going well, and even the castle of Elbuk is being expanded, mainly to strengthen the city defenses and increase the towers, after all, Albuk was originally built very rough because of the difficult terrain and the lack of stone in Nord itself, and many places are even full of civil structures. Tuga transported a lot of stone through Chanda, which completely strengthened the defense of Elbuk Castle, but because of the topography, Elbuk was basically unable to expand the village under the city, so it did not improve much in terms of economy, and could only be used as a military fortress.
The navy is currently the main target of Tuga's expansion, a large amount of timber is made into warships, a large number of ballistas are transported to ships, and no ship is equipped with at least one team of archers. Although many of the nearby lords did not like Tuga, Tuga always had his way to get a large number of qualified Vekian archers. He even co-opted bandits in large numbers near Parabun, so that now more than forty percent of his men are women.
It's not that the dark forces haven't thought about retaking Wocheze, but they haven't been able to gather enough troops, after all, there are too many battlefields opened, and Tuga's reconnaissance ability is too strong, once there is a movement of assembly nearby, it will be raided by him and the people of the Free Knights. In the end, the dark forces had to temporarily abandon the counterattack on Wocheze, and instead devote more forces to Tiha's side, defeating the defensive Rhodoks east of Calradia. The only remaining piece of pure land in the easternmost part of Nord was also swallowed up by darkness.
The cunning King of Rhodok, Griffos, thought of many ways, not only did he connect the four sides, send letters to Tuga, trying to persuade Tuga to attack Sagoth, but also created a number of incidents to try to provoke conflicts between the dark forces and Haraus. But alas, it was not possible to prevent the rout of the Rhodoks on the frontal battlefield. Kukit was also beaten badly by the dark forces, and the Black Flag men and horses took the opportunity to make trouble, and the whole country was already in chaos, Vikia was slightly better, with Tuga in front of them blocking most of the attacks, they now only need to find a way to deal with the enemies in several other directions, and at the same time, the snow thieves have also joined the battle against the dark forces, so they can barely maintain order.
That night, Tuga and the representatives of the Woche Ze finished eating, and after sending off the mayor, he was ready to rest in the bedroom in the castle, who expected that just turned off the lights and fell asleep, he felt that something was wrong, he quietly took out the bow and arrow from the dimensional space, and then closed his eyes, quietly, whoosh, Tuga shot an arrow, only to hear a ding, a spark lit up in the dark, but the strange thing was that there was nothing, as if there was a transparent steel plate somewhere, and it was hit by an arrow. Then he heard moving footsteps, which were speeding towards him, and more than one.
Tuga quickly drew his king's sword and prepared to engage in battle, relying on his senses to swing a sword at random, and sure enough, it hit a moving object. "Overlord Collapse!" "Regardless of where these stealth things were, Tuga directly unleashed his special move, and then the enemy was indeed collapsed, crashing into the wall and rumbling. As soon as he jumped out of bed, the guards outside also ran in with torches.
"Don't come in, raise your shield, block the door!" Tuga's order was quickly carried out, and Tuga walked to an estimated enemy landing point, and then stabbed with his sword, and sure enough, there was something. But in the light of the fire, there was nothing but the ground. After thinking about it, Tuga took out the Mirror of Reality and saw a corpse in strange black armor lying on the ground. Elsewhere, there were three corpses, one of them still moving, and a pair of dark eyes staring at Tuga under the strange helmet. It may be a bit inappropriate to say that it is eyes, but they are just two bright spots in the dark maelstrom.
Slowly walking towards the only living invisible man, Tuga first slashed the invisible man's weapon with a sword, and then infused his qi blow foot into the invisible man's abdomen. Boom, the stealth man slammed into the wall again, unable to move again. Tuga tried to remove the helmet of an invisible man to see what it was. But as soon as he moved, the invisible man began to burn, and if it hadn't been for the fact that he had dispersed the flames that had escaped into him by relying on the gas blow at the critical moment, it was estimated that Tuga would have been burned. Soon, there seemed to be some kind of chain reaction between the four corpses, all of which burned and finally turned to ashes.
Annoyed by such a strange assassination, Tuga not only strengthened his vigilance overnight, but also informed everyone, and finally led a team around the town with the Mirror of Truth. The next afternoon, Tuga, who had just woken up, received a report from Pygmeier that they had found in the ashes some metal-like armor made of unknown materials, which were unusually strong, comparable to the one-piece plate armor of the Finreal Guards cavalry captured before the Battle of Chanda. Unfortunately, the number is too small, and it is resistant to high temperature, and it is difficult to forge and process, and there are some holes on the periphery of the armor that can be matched with chain mail to make composite armor, and it can also be inlaid on the plate armor to improve local defense.
Tuga casually asked them how the research of the integrated plate armor was, and the result was that it could not reach the corresponding strength, and it was a matter of material in the final analysis. Tuga thought about it and decided to make a shield out of these hard pieces of armor. After the explanation, Tu summed up and was ready to eat, when Count Arassis came.
Since Tuga played the banner of recovering Nord and established himself with Ragnar's supporting documents, he has rarely participated in the affairs of Zenda, and he has repeatedly written to resign from the position of military leader of Zenda, after all, he is also the head of one side now, and it is impossible to continue to be an administrator for Count Araciss, not to mention that now the Free Knights are completely in charge of Tuga, and he has never taken a penny of military expenses from Count Aracis.
The two exchanged polite words, and finally reached an offensive and defensive alliance agreement, Chanda was led by Count Arassis, Tuga continued to have the right to garrison (and must garrison) in Chanda, and Count Arassis would give Tuga some gold coins every month as the cost of maintaining the alliance, etc., and then Count Arassis handed over some gold coins to Tuga and left happily. As for the permanent garrison of the Zenda, Tuga was put in charge of his mentor Kailai, and now that Kai has fully recovered, it is not a problem to do this.
As soon as the Earl left, Manid came to report on the progress of the demolition of the abandoned castle in the territory, which was a very bad thing for Tuga to have many fortresses, and he did not like to divide them. The entire continent of Calradia is full of castles, and the 'small landlords' with a little bit of power have to build a castle, but in Tuga's opinion, it is much more useful to use the money from building castles to build an army. Now he has a lot of things to reform, and he is really busy. Will vested interests join forces with the reforms they intend to add? The bloodshed that accompanies the reform seems to be coming......
