After Namess, the new governor from Iophra, took over Erry, he didn't expect Fiona to leave him with a huge mess. As soon as he entered the city of waterfalls, he was greeted not by applause and flowers, but by the hateful eyes of the dwarves. The cold-eyed man suspected that if it weren't for the fear of the powerful army behind him, Names suspected that they would immediately pounce on him and devour him alive.

His army was followed by thousands of immigrants who had relocated from Ioph. They will gradually replace the indigenous people of the continent as slave owners everywhere, dominating the economic and political lifeblood of Eli.

As soon as he entered the official residence, he was immediately dazed by the mountains of official documents on the desk. He shouted, "Didn't Fiona never deal with official documents?!"

"These are all official documents submitted by the city lords from all over the world, and they are all waiting for your approval......"

"I don't have time to care about their, my own things are enough!" Naamis waved his hand: "The new officials ignore the old things! The original matter, either they go to Fiona, or they find a way to solve it themselves! If even their own affairs can't be solved, then I have to wonder if he is capable of continuing to be the city lord!"

"Yes, yes......"

"Tell me about the most urgent things at the moment!"

The clerk immediately flipped through the thick notebook in his hand and read: "Lord Governor, the former king's son Yolande and his brothers have returned from the Lost Lands with a few thousand men, they are roaming the Hammondale Forest, and many families have recognized him as the king of the dwarves and sworn allegiance to him!"

"Isn't the former king Elago, and his son's name is Solinger, right?"

"Many of the dwarves consider Elago to be a usurper, preferring to see the old king Klonis' son Yolande as the rightful heir to the throne rather than recognizing Elago's son Solinger. ”

"I don't think so! Didn't Elago also be king for more than ten years? Then of course his son should be Prince Erie. Find a way to find Solinger and tell him that if he promises allegiance to me, I will make him the King of the Dwarves!"

"Yes! Second, Fiona's army has penetrated deep into Erathia's territory, and his logistical supply lines are regularly disrupted by the Resistance in the Hammondale Forest, and General Fiona has lost his temper many times. ”

"Who is to blame for his own failure to do a good job? He has occupied Eri for three years, and he can't even exterminate the rats hiding in the forest! You wrote back to him and told him that I can only be responsible for the logistics supply line on the side of Ery, and he will figure out his own way after crossing the border city!"

"The third thing is that Princess Jenny of Carava often harasses the border strip on the west side of Eri. Her army had crossed the border, captured three small cities on the border, and looted a gold mine in the Centaur Valley. ”

"That's a tricky question! I've only brought three legions with me...... General Olima, lead your legions to reclaim the gold mine at once, I can't let a dying wolf breathe down and turn into a lion, that will bite me to death!"

"Yes, do you need me to fight back to the border and retake those cities?"

"Yes...... , but you must master the vast majority of the mobile forces, choose the opportunity to fight with Jenny's main force, and do not distribute the forces everywhere. ”

"Then how do I defend three cities? You know, my field army is only 10,000 people!"

"Find a way to support the local dwarf forces!" Nammis sighed, "Let them help you defend the city!" Tell them that if the city falls, or if Jenny surrenders, then kill all the inhabitants of the city!

"Yes!" Olima hurried out of the mansion.

"As for the rats hiding in the forest, I'll take care of them myself!" Nammes said, tapping on the table.

Names's army of 20,000 was scattered through the forest like a huge net. As soon as the net came down, several dwarven gatherings were immediately surrounded.

When their elders were taken to Namez's camp by the soldiers, Nammis was making coffee and drinking in front of the campfire. He didn't expect to find coffee beans in this forest, but unfortunately the crude coffee always has a faint sour taste, and it would be great if he could add some sugar or milk. But it was already a very rare luxury, and it reminded him of the days when he was in the castle, by the fireplace.

"How about you come too?" Nammes asked, raising his glass in invitation.

"It seems that you don't know who I am, my name is Naames, the new governor of Eri. Nammes smiled, "Don't worry, there is no poison in this thing." If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago, so I don't need to talk nonsense with you!"

A few elders tried to take a sip and immediately spit it out.

"Looks like you need to be civilized!" Nammis shook his head, "Let's have a good talk!"

"What do you want to talk about?!" the elders said with their chests straightened.

"Let's talk about peace, about how to live in harmony!"

"There's no need to talk about it, unless you can roll back from the land of Eli!"

"I don't think we're on an equal footing. I am the conqueror and you are the vanquished! I promise to reward you with peace, and you have no choice but to accept it. ”

"What if we don't accept it?"

"No, you will see with your own eyes how your people die before you, and then it will be your turn. ”

"Naames, you will be damned!" the elders said angrily.

"Really?" Nammis laughed, "If there was a curse, it would have befallen me a long time ago! You have to admit that the world is unfair no matter what. The powerful and the weak, the rich and the poor, have never changed because of the gods you worship, nor because of the rule of any one king. ”

"You have been abandoned by your gods, and your so-called king of the dwarves called Yoland. He is not the protector you expect to be, appearing when you need it most. He has taken away your young men, and he has thrown you into the forest, a great crowd of women, children, and old people, and left you to starve and cold, without caring about your life or death! Your fate is now in my hands, and I am your protector. ”

"You're overestimating yourself! You're not a god, you're a devil!"

"There is not much difference between God and the devil. On the contrary, they have a lot in common. For example, they are all powerful, they hold power, and they control the life and death of all people!"

"Life and death are in our own hands, not by you, Nameis!"

"If you continue to disdain the olive branch I generously handed me, then I will exercise the right that God has given me!" Namez waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately brought a dozen dwarves.

"Wait!" the elders shouted to stop, "Nammes, just say what you want!"

"I will give you your original land, so that you may continue to live in safety in your land. ”

The elders exchanged glances with each other. One of them said, "What are the conditions?"

"The condition is that you have to pay sixty percent of the tax. You can keep 40% for yourself, which is very generous. Unlike Yoland, I don't want you to starve to death, but let you continue to live. ”

"Second, you must find a way to get your people out of the rebels at once! In a month's time, if I find that there are still people in your village who are still among the rebels, I will not hesitate to kill his entire family!"

"Third, you must unconditionally maintain law and order in the vicinity of your village, and I will retain sufficient autonomy for your village. If any of my people are harmed near your village, I promise that not a single one of your village will be left alive!"

"We can't accept such conditions as yours!"

"You must accept such a condition of mine! If you do not agree, then you are my enemy! I will not allow an enemy to live in this world!"

Namez beckoned, and several soldiers threw bags of gold coins at their feet.

"Villages that have agreed to my request, pick up the gold coins and walk away, go over there and find my clerk to register the population, and then have my soldiers take your heir. If you don't agree, then become a part of this cold land immediately!"

"You can't take our children!"

"You can rest assured that as long as you do what you have to do, they will be my guests, and I will raise them to adulthood. They will become messengers of peace between the demon clan and the dwarf clan, and they will also prove that the demon clan and the dwarf clan can coexist in harmony!"

"Now, make your choice now!" Nammes leaned back in his chair, sipping his sour coffee.

The dwarven elders stamped their feet, bent down to pick up the gold coins in the ground, and walked away angrily.

"Lord Governor, is your approach effective?" said the generals who gathered around Nameis.

"It's not a question of whether it's effective, it's a question of whether there's a way!" Namis sighed, "Why don't I want to kill them all? Fiona killed so many dwarves, didn't she kill them all, didn't she kill them all? Even if we kill them all, who will produce food for us? Who will mine and cut wood for us? Who will do the dirty work for us?"

"Lord Doge, you don't need to give these filthy and vile dwarves gold. ”

"You're wrong, it costs a lot more money to fight a battle than it does to buy a dwarven leader! Names shook his head and said, "I have to learn to bow their heads first!

"I want to find a way to break up Yoland's resistance, so that he hides like a rat in the forest, without shelter and help, and has to starve. When the dwarves who surrender to me live better and more stable than they do, will they still follow Yoland? ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, you are so thoughtful, we have never considered such a problem!"

"Really?" Naamis was very pleased, "Get your troops ready to go! Let the dwarves fight each other! That should be a lot of fun. ”
