Dressed in white robes, the "Sky Hunter" Arsa stood in the square of the upper city, and with the blessing of three amplification techniques, his firm voice spread throughout the city,

"Since the establishment of the Empire, the people of Fort St. Whitestone have been the most tenacious fighters, and we have enough food, and even enough weapons! We must save ourselves before waiting for the White Stone Society and the Imperial Army to come back! Therefore, I am here, with the power given to me by the 130,000 survivors, to announce the establishment of the "Fort St. Whitestone Self-Salvation Society", compatriots, we will not abandon you, and we need your strength!"

"Therefore, in my capacity as the acting mayor of Fort St. White Rock and the president of the Self-Rescue Association, I hereby announce the following terms!"

"From now on, the entire St. White Rock Fort implements a supply system, and every family can get three servings of food a day that is enough to keep them alive!"

"We will select qualified soldiers from among the survivors to defend their last homeland! Therefore, all healthy men over the age of 20 are obliged to serve as guard soldiers for 10 days in a month! During this period, the supply will be increased by a third!"

"The Self-Help Association will form a team of "Collectors", and any eligible citizens will receive additional food subsidies every day!"

"The Self-Rescue Association will set up a "trial office" and will select qualified judges and supervisors from among all the citizens! Anyone who intervenes in committing murder and evil at this critical juncture will be punished with the most cruel punishment!"

"The Self-Help Association will begin to explore areas beyond the fog for re-farming, so we welcome any experienced farmer to get involved in this effort!"

After the announcement of the seventeen-point decree, the audience was silent for several minutes, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers, and in such difficult days, there could be nothing more gratifying than a tough leader and a reconstituted social order.

And smart people have found that the originally high-ranking mages have finally begun to pay attention to the power of the commoners, and these seventeen decrees do not even distinguish between low-level mages and civilians, can it be said that the Holy White Stone Fort will enter a social system of "everyone is equal" from now on?

Of course, these questions will be answered sooner or later, and when the crowd disperses, Arsa returns alone to the official residence of the Self-Rescue Society, the center of the original Fort of St. Whitestone, where he locks himself up in the mayor's office, which is his and Firin's temporary residence, not as large as the villa on the White Rock Mountain, which could have been destroyed by the dragons, but at least large enough and comfortable.

Instead of dealing with the piled up of government affairs, Arsa sat down in his chair and took out a thick black book from the bottom compartment of the table.

The Arcanist opened the black book, which was deviant but had given him a lot of inspiration, and carefully flipped to the bookmarked page, which prominently listed seventeen statutes, almost exactly the same as the one he had just announced, and where he put it down, the signature of "Eliven Mogedin" was unusually unsightly.

Fifteen minutes later, Arsa, who had read another page, closed the black book, closed his eyes, leaned back in a comfortable chair, and muttered to himself,

"You... What do you want to do? Do you really want to treat these 200,000 people as insignificant experiments?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for why Artha exercised the power that only the city lord had, this has to start from the day of the "Dragon Beast Plague".

At that critical moment when it was possible to collapse at any time, due to physical and review reasons, the Sky Hunter Arsa and the Hand of Time Firin, who were still "recuperating" in the Holy White Stone Castle for the time being, stood up as the only remaining arcanists, and because of their identity and strength, they were immediately crowned with the title of "Rescuers of the Holy White Stone Castle" after the new city lord crushed the teleportation charm and escaped.

Regarding this matter, after the dragon beast ravaged all night, the only one who survived, all the 230,000 refugees who were cowering in the upper city, almost no one objected, but these 230,000 people sound like a lot, but in fact it is not even one-sixth of the population of St. White Rock Fort in its heyday, so it can be seen that just one night of dragon beast disaster, plus the dragon descendants who are making waves everywhere, how much scar it has brought to the city.

But this also has the advantage that the original ruling class has been completely destroyed.

Even those imperial nobles who usually have eyes on the top of their heads have also dutifully crowned all kinds of praise on the heads of the "saviors" Arsa and Filin, in the case of the destruction of the portal hall and the surrounding world surrounded by dragons and beasts, the mages may be able to escape through teleportation, but they, ordinary people who only have one title, will not be able to escape no matter what.

And now, two days later, it is said that even the surrounding space has been blocked, and now, those remaining mages and them can be regarded as real brothers and sisters resting on a broken boat, but this situation has quieted down those restless nobles, and they even expressed their willingness to obey the rule of the Self-Salvation Society, of course, the premise is to ensure the safety of their lives and property in this time of chaos.

Neither the mild-tempered Filin nor the irascible Arsa had any objection to this, but three days later, a count who had violated seventeen decrees and whipped commoners in the street was sentenced by the newly appointed judge to be hanged, and all his property confiscated, and that afternoon, in front of tens of thousands of onlookers, the execution was carried out, and all the family members of the unlucky man were expelled from the Earl's Palace, and the nobles found out that these two crazy arcanists were actually planning to play for real!

But just when they were about to do something, the unscrupulous commoners who were instigated by this unprecedented "noble bloodshed" incident since the founding of the empire actually took the initiative to start monitoring these nobles, and even a word of insult from a subordinate would be secretly sent to the table of the judge of the "inquisition", and by the time the nobles found out about this situation where all the people were enemies, it was already more than half a month later.

The nobles did not intend to show their bravery in front of the already armed people, and in fact the viscount, who was sent out to negotiate with the people, was even frightened... It's not an exaggeration, well, it's a sad story.

In the end, the populace was willing to recognize their nobility, after all, nobility was already a characteristic of El, but other than that, they had nothing.

The reasonably sane populace did not take the last of their wealth, nor did they harm their families. But from the very beginning of their careers, the families of the nobles have been nominally returning the land they have seized to their masters. (To be continued.)
