Chapter 320: A New Change in Cassano
"Boom!" the gate of the ornate courtyard was kicked open, and a group of soldiers dressed in Cassano Sheriff's Department uniforms rushed in brandishing their weapons, and a fierce dog from the gate roared loudly at the group of uninvited guests, but the man led by the group of soldiers made a round without mercy, and the head of the fierce dog fell to the ground, and blood sprayed everywhere, causing a maid passing by to let out a frightened scream.
"Your Excellency has an order, dare to resist and be executed on the spot!" The man at the head didn't seem to care about the dog blood splattered on his body, and gave a loud order, while the other soldiers behind him agreed in unison, and without hesitation, they raised their weapons and rushed into the courtyard.
After a while, the entire courtyard was completely controlled by this group of soldiers, and a fat man was tied up and pushed out, and the man shouted with anger on his face: "You bastards, I am Arad's uncle, you dare to rush into my house to arrest me, don't you want to live!"
"Hmph, it's you who caught you!" a cold female voice came from outside the gate, followed by a group of people who walked in quickly, led by a woman with a beautiful face and a bewitching figure, it was Sophie, the proprietress of the former town of Murray. At this time, the magic mask on her face had long since been lost, and now she had become an important figure in the Cassano system, and she was not afraid of being hunted down by the original killer organization.
"It's you *** person!" The obese man immediately scolded after seeing Sophie: "What else will you do besides seducing men in bed?
Sophie was not affected by the obese man's foul language at all, the corners of her mouth kept smiling, her red lips opened slightly, and she said to her subordinates behind her: "Let him scold slowly, you can remember how many words he scolded in total." When you go back, you will cut a piece of his meat if you curse a word, and if the amount is not right, then double it will be counted on you. ”
Sophie's subordinates stood solemnly, and then made a gesture to the soldiers to take the fat man away, and the man, seeing that his invective was ineffective, shouted loudly: "I am Adra's uncle, you dare to arrest me, wait for me to tell Adra, let her kill you all! And Ryan, he will not let you go!"
The fat man's words were simply deaf to the soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Public Security Department around him, and according to the arrest process, they should have stuffed something into the fat man's mouth, but with Sophie's words before, the group of soldiers just pressed the fat man out and let him abuse at will.
The rest of the soldiers began to search the courtyard carefully, and soon they made a new discovery, and took out one heavy chest after another from a small cellar in the backyard, and placed them all in front of Sophie, and another of Sophie's subordinates immediately stepped forward and pried open one of the boxes with a dagger in his hand.
As soon as the lid of the box was opened, it immediately revealed a neatly stacked box of gold coins inside, and the entire courtyard was instantly covered with a layer of golden yellow. The subordinate kicked over the chest and pried open a second one, but this time it was not gold, but all sorts of precious jewels.
This subordinate still wanted to continue the inspection, Sophie waved her hand casually and said, "No need, take it all away." After Sophie said this, she turned to the other subordinates behind her and said, "You guys take people separately and arrest them according to the list I gave you, and those who dare to resist don't have to stay alive." ”
"Yes!" Sophie's subordinates shouted in unison, and then they split up and left.
Sophie sighed softly, the most troublesome thing today is to capture Adela's uncle, although he and Adra's bloodline has been quite estranged, but after all, he is still a blood relative of the Saranal family, but with Lane's personal order, Sophie has no psychological pressure, not to mention that before she set off, Adela had a few words with her in private, and hinted in the words that Sophie herself is Lane's woman, and everything is naturally respected by Lane's order.
With these two layers of relationship, and plenty of evidence that the fat guy was involved in the rebellion and was one of the people who played a leading role in it, Sophie believed that he would not be able to come back alive this time, so she personally led the party to his mansion in Crimson Castle.
Soon, such arrests were launched throughout Cassano, and in order to cover up people's eyes, all the arrests were made in the name of the Sheriff's Office, and in this series of arrests, more than 50 Cassano nobles were taken away by the Shadow members who broke through the door, and more than a dozen merchants of the Chamber of Commerce or mercenary groups from different parts of the mainland also became the targets of capture.
This group of nobles, Merchants and mercenaries are not all captured, more than half of them have varying degrees of resistance, but unfortunately they are facing Sophie's carefully selected members of the Shadow from the entire Cassano army, and Ryan in order to ensure the success of this capture also Barbara's Death Scythe Magic Legion is all dispatched, with the help of this group of magic apprentices, the average mercenary warrior has no power to resist at all and is knocked over by all kinds of magic, and a few guys with good strength were directly turned into char by Barbara with fireballs.
However, no matter how much it is covered, it is impossible for such a large-scale arrest operation not to arouse everyone's discussion at all, so in Sophie's plan, Ryan, Vivien, and Adela came forward separately to pacify everyone in the three family locations of Cassano, and Ryan directly sat in the Seremis family residence with the most arrested.
Carter, the patriarch of the Seremis family, and his son Eli, who was a squadron leader in the Sheriff's Office, were not involved in this Cassano treason case, so after seeing the conclusive evidence that Ryan produced, both of them chose to obey Ryan quite wisely, so the part of the arrest that went most smoothly was carried out in the territory of the original Seremis family.
Due to the suddenness of the arrest and the fact that the entire Cassano army was under Lane's secret orders, by the time the Southern Liberties learned of the news, the arrest was over, and most of the nobles belonging to Cassano had been publicly declared guilty and were publicly hanged. Without internal response, the Freedom Alliance is powerless.
After Lane unified Cassano, the people at the bottom who benefited the most were the civilians at the bottom, who no longer had to bear the threat of war, and did not have to affect their livelihoods due to heavy taxes and other issues, they had their own fields to cultivate, and they could also choose to do business and rely on foreign trade to make money, so life was getting better and better. Now I suddenly heard that the nobles who oppressed their heads in the past wanted to restore the entire Cassano to its previous state, and these civilians were naturally unwilling, so the entire Cassano was not affected too much because of this rebellion case, but because after capturing this group of corrupt nobles, they obtained their family property and land, which made Cassano's finances more abundant, so that several Cassano financial officials wanted to carry out such actions several times when they were drinking in private, so that there was no need for the support of the imperial capital at all。
Seeing that a storm that might affect Lane's rule in Cassano was thus eliminated, Lane understood what Sophie said that day better, and he finally realized that he had been a little wrong in handling Cassano's affairs, so Lane changed his approach.
In the past, Ryan rarely attended the two monthly council meetings, but now he began to appear frequently, and at each meeting, he would make some arrangements for Cassano's government affairs, personnel, and finances, and would also tour the whole Cassano from time to time to receive heartfelt cheers from his people.
However, in reality, Ryan still did not have much to do with Cassano's political situation, he distributed power as always, and slightly expanded the original Cassano Council, and added several new members, including Eli, the son of Carter, the Ceremis family organization.
Lane's various actions soon allowed him to regain control of the entire Cassano situation, and all he paid was to focus part of his energy on governing Cassano in addition to specializing in magic, and with Sophie's shadow assistance, Lane could easily know all kinds of news about the entire Cassano, for those small things, Lane often laughed away, but once an external force wanted to subvert Cassano's rule, Lane would not hesitate to let Sophie launch an attack and directly cut off the black hand that stretched into the Cassano Plains.
Unconsciously, Ryan got used to his current life, and he suddenly found that it was not very difficult to govern a territory, and after having his powerful power to deter him, he would arrange his daily affairs, as long as he asked about finances and personnel from time to time, and then firmly grasped the army, and relied on a secret agent army that was absolutely loyal to him to find out all kinds of news to verify whether everything he usually saw was true, and it was almost the same.
When everything is on the right track, Ryan spends a lot less time and energy on government affairs, which gives Ryan more time to tutor Barbara and her magic legion, and Ryan himself spends a lot of time studying magic every day, and his behavior also greatly motivates those magic apprentices of the Death Scythe magic legion, just imagine that even their teacher, a powerful magician, has to study magic tirelessly every day, so why don't they work hard?
Now Barbara can skillfully cast level 3 magic under Ryan's words and deeds, of course, Barbara's previous experience is similar to Ryan's, she only chooses 2 or 3 kinds of repeated practice for each level of magic, instead of being as comprehensive as the students in the magic academy.
It has been less than 1 year since the magic apprentices of the entire Death Scythe Mercenary Regiment began to contact magic, and now more than 7 percent of the 500 members in this group can use level 2 magic, and the best people like Barbara who can use level 3 magic are also close to one percent, which is definitely a shocking thing for all magic guilds and magicians to say.
At the request of Hamfest, Ryan agreed to personally teach 500 magic apprentices from the Imperial Capital Magic Guild, after all, Hamfest and the Imperial Capital Magic Guild helped him a lot, but at the same time, he also selected magically qualified teenagers throughout Cassano again, and enriched them into the Death Scythe Magic Legion, so now Barbara has become a leader of nearly 2,000 magic academies with great potential, although she is not yet 16 years old, but no one will deny her future potential, as if no one denies Cassano's potential。
