Outside the northern gates of Mukuso stood early in the morning a large number of citizens who had left the city to greet the Bena coalition army, including the city's nobles, merchants, mercenaries, adventurers, employees, petty traders, and some of the lowest laborers.

Some of these people were left behind after the Demon Legion broke the city, while others were merchants and adventurers who had come from Ruyt to make money, and the merchants had brought with them some mercenaries, employees, and laborers.

A small number of citizens were reluctant to give up their properties and stayed.

As it turned out, they were right this time, since the victory in the battle north of Mukuso, the Bena coalition army recaptured all the towns on the battlefield of the Sayroman Plateau with a devastating force, and then completely wiped out the demon army in the snowy mountains.

The successive victories not only fattened the brave merchant groups, but also brought unlimited business opportunities to the dilapidated city of Mukuso.

Although the ruins of the slums outside the city still looked like a garbage dump, the crumbling planks were covered with moss and mushrooms, and some weeds and vines grew from the cracks of the broken tiles, and only a few avenues were cleared up to the city gates.

The mottled walls had been dyed a deep purple, and the demonic blood had seeped into the cracks in the walls, and in some places some poisonous weeds had grown that could cause people to hallucinate.

Although the corpses of low-level demons could not be seen outside the city walls, the traces of the war could still be seen everywhere.

Surdak rode a blue-scaled horse in armor at the front of the line, and the infantry warriors followed Surdak in a neat line, holding tower shields and long swords hanging from their waists, and they always slapped their shields with their blades when they were on the battlefield, making a neat knocking sound to scare the enemy.

As they approached the city of Mukuso, the infantry soldiers walked in unison, their leather boots treading on the hard loess road, as if every step was striking the hearts of the onlookers.

The moment the infantry soldiers appeared from outside the city, bursts of cheers erupted from the city gates.

Mukuso City House of Representatives member of the Treasurer Basil. Huton led a group of officials from Mukuso City to meet Surdak.

"Welcome back in triumph, Commander Surdak." Treasurer Basil. Hutton came up and spoke first.

At the beginning Adler. After MacDonnell abandoned the city and fled, it was the treasurer who was the first to stand up and gain Surdak's trust, so that he could stand out among the officials of Mukuso.

Surdak looked up at the citizens who had come to welcome them outside the city walls, and on their faces, at least there was no such reluctant smile, they should not have been forced to come out to welcome the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, so he looked at the treasurer Basil. Hu Dun nodded slightly and said:

"Thanks to your efforts, Mukuso City has really regained some of its former vitality, thank you for your dedication to Mukuso City during this time!"

A group of officials from Mukuso City, regardless of their rank, saluted Surdak.

These noble officials knew that after Lord McDonnell was about to destroy the portal, the Bednar War Department declared the Gampoo Plane officially unexplored.

From the day Surdak led his army into the city of Mukuso, he was destined to become the consul of the city.

Two other reasons should not be overlooked. First, behind Surdak stood the Marquis of Luther. Second, his combat partner is a red dragon.

Treasurer Basil. Huton waited until the greeting stopped, and then said: "The sumptuous food and comfortable military camp are ready, Commander Surdak, see if you and the soldiers of the Northern Expedition will take a break in the city......

"Thank you very much for your preparation!" Surdak politely addressed the city officials.

Then, turning to the infantry soldiers behind him, he commanded:

"So ...... Town! ”

The sound of neat footsteps followed the opening of the north gate into the depressed and dilapidated city of Mukuso......

……

The MacDonnell family has been ruling the Gampoo Plane for more than a hundred years.

For a long time, Lord MacDonnell has served as the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Mukuso City and the Archon of Mukuso City, and Lord MacDonnell also holds the largest army of lords in the Ganbu Plane, so it can be said that Lord McDonnell is the Earth Emperor of the Ganbu Plane.

The decrees that prevail here require the signature of Lord McDonnell to take effect, and are not entirely confined to the Grimm Empire.

But now most of the members of the McDonnell family are already in prison in Bednar City, just waiting for Adler, who is hiding somewhere south of the Gampoo plane. MacDonnell announced his surrender, and the lords' rebellion officially came to an end.

It is said that Adler. MacDonnell and his family's private army hid in the western mountains of the Grove Ridge, the last lord of the McDonnell family has not had a good day since the day he took office, either going to the Sayroman Plateau to be beaten by the demon legions, or hiding in the Grove Mountains to eat grass roots......

The thirteen lord armies have been divided into several warbands, and they are scattered in the northern region of the Ganbu Plane, clearing the remaining low-level demons in various places. Valley-shaped

Surdak's most urgent task at the moment is to send a heavy infantry regiment to stabilize the unrest in the south.

Therefore, the infantry legion only rested in the city of Mukuso for three days before being sent to the south of the Gamp plane by Surdak, and the Chester Archswordsman led the heavy infantry regiment into the Grovet Mountains to encircle and suppress the MacDonnell Lord Army hiding in the mountains.

The mage group has successfully completed the task of clearing the demon and black mages of the dry cloth plane, and can return to Bena Province at any time.

But before returning to Bednar City, Archmage Morrison and Archmage Harper jointly decided to give Surdak another gift, which was to send a ten-man mage regiment to join the heavy infantry regiment into the Grove Ridge.

With the mage's scouting, Lord McDonnell's army will be nowhere to be found in the Grove Mountains.

Of course, the Heavy Infantry Regiment also has the responsibility to clean up the low-level demons in various places.

However, the adventuring groups and mercenary groups gathered in the city of Mukuso preferred that the local army would leave this kind of thing to them.

You must know that every lone low-level demon is a small fortune for the adventure group.

For more than a month, they were actively cleaning up the low-level demons lurking in various parts of the south.

Compared with the northern towns that were slaughtered by the hell demons, although the southern towns were also attacked by the demon army, but because the demon army has always taken Mukusuo City as the main target, not many demon armies chose to go south during the attack on Mukusuo City, and after the defeat of the battle outside Mukusuo City, only some low-level demons flowed to the south, but at that time, the low-level demons could not form a scale when they entered the south, and because of this, the losses suffered by the south were much smaller than those in the north.

……

On 30 June, representatives of the Resistance Round Table arrived in the city of Mukuso.

Surdak held its first parliament in the House of Representatives of Mukuso, at which a resolution was passed to legalize the territory occupied by the Resistance, but demanded that the territory remain the property of all Resistance Forces.

During his time in Mukuso, Surdak re-formed the Mukuso House of Representatives, but since most of the noble lords had fled from Mukuso, there were currently only 27 members of the Mukuso House of Representatives, of which thirteen were commanders of the lords' armies, and the Resistance Autonomous Region also had one seat.

The commanders of the thirteen lords represent the thirteen noble lords of Bena Province who support the Gampu plane, each of whom needs to occupy a seat in the House of Representatives of Mukuso City, and these noble lords are currently in the honeymoon phase with Surdak, and are Surdak's most staunch allies at the moment.

Of course, in the future, there may be some conflicts in this relationship due to conflicts of interest, in the process some families will choose to be estranged, some families will always support Surdak, and some may become enemies.

But for now, at least, Surdak has a group of noble lords who share common interests and are willing to build the city of Mukuso.

The first problem Surdak is facing is how to rebuild the city of Mukuso.

Surdak thought that since the city was in shambles, he planned to be more bold in his urban redevelopment plan, and in view of the city's current poor financial situation, Surdak wanted to divide the city into seven districts and gradually rebuild it.

He had already written to Baron Martino, who was in the White Forest plane, asking him to come to Mucuso to participate in the planning and construction of the city.

In addition, Surdak has to determine the division of territory recently, since it has been regarded as a full occupation of the Ganbu plane, then the first thing to determine the territorial boundary issue with the other twelve noble lords in private is the biggest piece of cake after recovering the Ganbu plane.

The territories on the Dry Cloth Plane can be roughly divided into three types: Desperate, Barren, and Rich.

The desperate situation is some inaccessible snow ridges, poisonous fog swamps, honkai lands, etc., these places cannot survive for humans, the area accounts for about eleven percent of the total area of the dry cloth plane, and there are places in the extreme south and north of the pole, this part of the territory is destined to be handed over to the empire.

Barren land is some places that can survive, but the living environment is relatively harsh, such as mountains, wastelands, remote places, dense forests and valleys, etc., the area of this kind of land accounts for about half of the total area of the dry cloth plane, if the rich land according to the 433 territorial distribution method is not enough, of course, the lords will not dislike this part of the barren land.

The fertile lands are those plains, plateaus, forest edges, rivers and lakes, and such lands account for thirty-nine of the total area of the Gamp plane.

The nobles had territorial rights over the unexplored planes. According to the 433 territorial law, the nobles have the right of first refusal to open up the land, and the fool does not choose the rich land, as long as the rich land is enough, then the barren land and the Jedi will basically be handed over.

This time, Surdak owns all the territory south of the Ganbu plane, except for the rainforest of the Resistance Autonomous Region.

In addition to this, it occupies two of the largest towns on the Sayroman Plateau.

As a result, Surdak currently has eighteen percent of the fertile land of the Dry Cloth Plane in his hands.

The remaining twenty-one percent of the land was in the hands of the other twelve families, the Resistance, and a handful of noble lords......
