Chapter 389: Take control of the principality
readx;? The site for the construction of the new city was directly determined, and at this point, the transformation of the entire desert can be said to have come to an end. The original yellow sand www.biquge.info the pen & fun pavilion is no longer visible, and the elven forest draws a huge semicircle along the edge of the desert, firmly enclosing Meng Han's territory.
Originally, several principalities around the desert could also cross the desert to Huangsha City to obtain the goods of Huangsha City, but now, there is no way at all.
If you want to reach Huangsha City directly, you must pass through the current Elven Forest. However, with their usual fear of the elves, few people dared to do so. As a last resort, if you want to obtain silk, you can only go around a large garden and enter Yellow Sand City through the only entrance to Stormwind City.
At this point, Meng Han had already instructed Catherine, so the city lord of Stormwind City had now been replaced by a viscount with outstanding merits. Originally, this viscount was very dissatisfied with Catherine actually changing her fiefdom, and she was quite complaining, but after the changes in the desert came to her ears, after a little thought, he immediately understood the huge benefits of this, and immediately understood Catherine's arrangement at that time. In ecstasy, he could no longer care about anything else, and personally galloped to the Grand Duke Catherine, and sincerely swore allegiance to His Majesty the Grand Duke.
Meng Han had been in the desert for more than a month, and Archduke Catherine's army had already gathered outside the megalithic castle. The battle between His Royal Highness and His Second Highness has become more and more intense, and before a single ugly man has been fought, the body of the eldest duke has been captured in a corner of the palace, and no one cares about it. Archduchess Catherine, who got the news, angrily ordered the army to attack the city.
If it was in the past, it would have been impossible to break through the Megalithic Castle without sacrificing 100,000 soldiers. However, this time was different, Archduke Catherine brought ten thunderbolt lightning scrolls with eighth-level power, plus the battle between His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness, there were not many people responsible for defending the city, and Archduke Catherine had not even used the magic scroll, and someone from the Academy of Magic with Dean Green had already directly controlled the gate of the castle and offered the gate to the new Grand Duke. The army controlled most of the Great Stone Castle almost without hindrance.
To be exact, the army had not yet set up camp outside the Boulder Castle, and Dean Green was already waiting with someone. In the afternoon, the Grand Duke's army, which had just arrived outside the megalithic castle and waited for a night or more to repair and start the siege, entered the megalithic castle overnight.
Dean Green did not have the same rat ends as before, and stood firmly on the side of Archduke Catherine. No one knew the power of Meng Han's scroll base better than him, and when he learned from the side channel that Meng Han could easily create a fifth-level scroll base, he suffered from not having the opportunity to rebuild with Meng Han. Now to Archduke Catherine, it is an opportunity.
Princess Catherine brought back the Marquis's army after a trip to Huangsha City, and her title became Archduke Catherine. In fact, Dean Green was by no means the only smart person, and what the Marquis's army and Meng Han's financial support meant was clear to almost everyone who was concerned about this succession incident.
Some people still want to see the wind again, but Archduke Catherine has not given them a chance. In addition to these nobles and magic academies who betrayed their sincerity to them at the first time, Archduke Catherine's first order after entering the city was to start purging. Whether it was the people of His Royal Highness or the people of His Second Highness, and even some of the wall grass, those who missed the opportunity, including their families, were all purged without reservation.
"People in the palace, Jing Ran doesn't know how to restrain the boss, kill!"
"Support the two traitors of His Highness and Second Highness 9!i family, kill!
"Keep the wall-top family watching the wind, kill!" "The family that resists the army of Lord Da Marquis, kill!" "If the army dares to resist, kill!"
A series of orders came from the mouth of the Grand Duke Catherine. His Majesty's pretty face was full of frost. Now that they have accepted the power left by the Marquis, all the families that have had a discord with this power in the past have been ruthlessly eradicated. Only in this way can they obtain 100% allegiance, and only with such iron and blood can the majesty of the Grand Duke be erected, and no one will resist.
Many people in the megalithic castle were still waiting to see the outcome of the internal struggle of the eldest duke's family, but what they were waiting for was a merciless army. The army, which had been ordered by the Grand Duke of Pretty Selin, swung their butcher knives at the noble families of the Great Stone Castle almost in a frenzied revenge mentality. That night, it is estimated that these nobles can't even hate to be commoners, and maybe they won't be implicated.
The commoners were happy, at least as long as they did not resist and were loyal to His Majesty the Grand Duke Catherine. However, the nobles who survived the megalithic castle were not so lucky. This moment. Some self-confident families are powerful, and no matter who ascends the throne of the Grand Duke, they must win over their great noble families, completely mistaken and the iron blood of the Grand Duke. This kind of deep-rooted big family is the biggest enemy in her power, and it must be eradicated as soon as possible.
The original Marquis's mansion, because of the departure of the Marquis, has been impatiently occupied by His Royal Highness II. Then, this place became a blood sea slaughterhouse, and those soldiers who were originally the Marquis regarded the people who occupied this place as enemies of life and death, and they didn't care what the identity of the people inside was, and they killed them cleanly from top to bottom. Even the royal palace was also unforgiving because of the order of Grand Duke Kai Lilin, even if a few court magicians wanted to resist, but they faced Dean Green and his party who held the magic scroll given by Meng Han, except for those who surrendered immediately, everyone else was annihilated.
The forces controlled by His Royal Highness and Second Highness were directly defeated without any decent resistance. No one dared to move the two highnesses, and all of them were captured alive and left to the Grand Duke Kai Lilin to dispose of by himself, and the other vassals, whether they were ministers or nobles, were all treated equally. In the mansion of the two alone, more than 3,000 corpses were later counted.
In the entire megalithic castle, overnight, dozens of great noble families that had been handed down for thousands of years were ruthlessly annihilated, and hundreds of nobles were ruthlessly strangled. Tens of thousands of people have been implicated, and thousands of civilians have been killed by mistake. After the massacre, there were no different voices in the principality, and everyone was shocked by the iron-blooded methods shown by the Archduchess Catherine, and no one dared to say it, even if they were unwilling.
The only place in the megalithic castle that has not been touched is the luxury hotel called Casa Palace. The army of the Grand Duke of Cayleine, known from top to bottom, was the property of Lord Count Antonio. Even if they dared to show off their might elsewhere and directly slaughter a marquis-level noble family, no one dared to make any excessive moves here, and even when they passed by, they had to restrain their soldiers and not make loud noises, so as not to disturb the people inside.
A few clever nobles who were relatively close to this side, as soon as the army entered the city and realized that they had no chance, immediately begged the principal here to hide in the Cazaar Palace. The ingenuity and wit of these people also directly saved their lives, and after sending someone to show the sincerity of their allegiance to Archduke Catherine afterwards, they also became the luckiest group of nobles on the night of the massacre at Boulder Castle.
The change in the Duchy of Transance caught the surrounding principalities off guard. I just heard that there is a lot of trouble going on in the principality, as long as you wait, the Duchy of Transance will have a decline in national strength due to internal strife, and other principalities will have a chance to take advantage of it. Unexpectedly, in less than two months, the principality directly became a different situation, and the other principalities had no chance.
The night of the slaughter, directed by Archduke Catherine, in addition to bringing himself iron-blooded domination, has another huge gain. The property of those exterminated families fell directly into the hands of the Grand Duke. In addition to rewarding meritorious generals and soldiers, the remaining ones were counted and counted to be tens of millions of gold coins. Although it is not all cash, there are many real estate and various works of art, but with this wealth, the future development of the Principality will not be weakened by lack of money.
Although Meng Han also agreed to support, but these money belonged to His Majesty the Grand Duke, which was far more convenient and reasonable than asking for it from Meng Han, and there was also an advantage, the territories controlled by those noble families were suddenly vacated a lot, which was enough for Grand Duke Catherine to arrange these meritorious soldiers. The vacant positions they had created were enough for these people to be loyal to Archduke Catherine.
The documents addressed to His Majesty the King were sent on the road by Mr. Donald with a large number of gold coins as early as when they came out of Paracel City, and they must have arrived at His Majesty's desk at this time. It is believed that with the opening of a large number of gold coins, and the actual control of the Duchy of Transance is firmly in his hands, it is a matter of time before it is officially recognized by His Majesty the King.
When the news reached Meng Han's ears through the channels of the underground guild, Meng Han happened to have just rushed back to Huangsha City, bathing in the luxurious bathtub of his temporary lord's mansion. Hearing Grace's report, Concubine Han only laughed: "It seems that Catherine's wrist is not bad." Grace, are you interested in controlling a small duchy?"
Although it was a joke, Loris knew that if she nodded, Meng Han would definitely arrange it, and it would never be less than her support for Kai Lilin. But Grace shook her head without hesitation: "Even if you control the kingdom, what can you do? ”
"Nicole, now that Archduke Catherine is in care, as long as the people of your tribe enter the principality, they can be unimpeded. Meng Han enjoyed Nicole's careful service in the bathtub, bowed his head and ordered: "Tomorrow, you go and make arrangements, move over, if you need any help, just ask Grace's side." "Yes, master!" said Nicole's face, a flash of joy. The hard life of the tribesmen finally saw hope. looked at Meng Han, his face full of gratitude.
