The black armor advanced through the streets, and the corpse of Martin Hanging Peak, which had been burned to ashes, had begun to settle, and both the Hanging Peak and the leaders of the rebel mountain people had been killed

Kill, there is no individual or force in the entire city of Ryan that can resist Ian.

[Residents of Ryan City, please don't panic, I am the new Lord of Ryan appointed by the Empire, Ian] Ren 4]

Walking slowly, a somewhat distorted, but clear voice came over the loudspeaker: [The rebels and rebels have been killed, as has happened in Ryan these days.]

The chaos in the city is coming to an end, but now I ask all men to stay at home until noon the next day, when a convoy of grain from Nauman City will arrive.7 3

[You who want to get food, who want to have enough to eat, and who want to live in peace, I command you to return to your homes at once.] An hour later, there were still pedestrians walking around the streets

, and unable to give a proper reason, all of them were killed by the remnants of the rebellion, as you know]

There was not a trace of warmth in the voice, only cold orders, arrogance that demanded that others be forced to obey. Jen 11]

Therefore, while being extremely frightened, all the lords of Ryan City were able to understand this simple order-

Go home, etc. There is food. Walk around and die.

This is the norm when the Terra Continent Ascension gives orders.

And Ian, who had just killed the other three sublimators, was clearly the strongest one.

So they obeyed.

The crowd that had gathered for Martin's speech dispersed.

But in the city, there are still some remnants of immortality who still want to struggle.

Not far away, in the corner of the city, a group of almost crazy mountain people pushed an alchemical cannon and aimed it at the cyclops.

They launch. 1 j

A multi-meter-long arc burst out, and the high-explosive warhead "sped away" at several times the speed of sound, but the black armor raised its hand, and layers of ice condensed in mid-air and condensed

An opaque ice shield over a meter thick.

Bang - —— A huge cloud of explosion fire more than ten meters high spread, blooming on the street, and the boiling hot wind and water vapor formed a circle visible to the naked eye in Laian City for a while

of white shock clouds.

But when the clouds cleared, the Cyclops remained intact. Jen 1

More than a dozen beams of light focused from afar, turning the last group of mountain people who dared to resist into carbon slag from the burning molten iron.

After that, a continuous stream of beams of light shot out, lighting the remnants of the mountain people who had escaped from Lai'an City into torches.

They trembled, they begged for mercy, they wanted to resist with swords, guns, and artillery—there were other first-level sublimators intent on storming the positions of the White People's soldiers

But they don't have the ability to move beyond the speed of ordinary people's nerve reflexes at the second energy level, how can they escape the beam of light?

All of them were wiped out.

Not a single one can be left. These are the words of Ian, and these young people of the White People, who are bent on making a meritorious deed, faithfully carry out the orders of their master.

Cruel? Bloody? Violent?

4]

The black armor just walked silently, towards the highest point of the city of Ryan, the ancient castle that stood on the cliff. Jen 3]

It slowly took off and landed at the top of the castle in awe from the distant gaze of all the inhabitants of Ryan through the windows, and on the other side was the castle that had been partially melted down

Golden-red notch.

The giant turned around and looked down on the city—

Neither. This is just a killing practice that is necessary for peace. Jen 11]

And it's not enough to kill.

Ian stared indifferently at the city, having been invited by Baron Ryan to visit the city half a year ago, and had seen the beautiful scenery of Ryan's Territory, the glow of the glow that surrounded the city

The garden, the deep holy lake behind the castle, the blue and clear sky, the faint fragrance of flowers filling the air, although the whole city is a little boring, but in general the people live and work in peace and contentment,

No matter how crazy Baron Ryan was, he didn't eat the grass on the edge of his city.

But what about now? The peaceful city was gone, and Ian was confronted with the ruins of barricades and fortifications, a group of rebel mountain people and the Hanging Peaks

Insensitive subjects.

The air here is full of gunsmoke, and the Xiahui grass outside the city has been violently mined, and the whole city is said to be half-ruined is a tact, if there is no special means, the average lord can

It will take a year or two to get it back to its original state.

Ian doesn't have that much time. He didn't have time to talk to anyone and play some kind of "democratic game" with a group of local squires and mountain representatives in the countryside

Whoever does not obey his will, then go to the first emperor. Jen 2]

He killed few people and was lonely, not like Axel, and going to hell must have been welcomed by a large number of lively people.

"Scott, don't leave any of the rebel mountain people behind, and if you run away, you won't chase them, and if you can kill them, you will kill them all."

At this moment, Scott had already led the team closer, and Ian said to him through the communication device, "As for those mountain knights, and all the local merchants of Ryan City, they can talk

People, the old department of Baron Ryan who cooperated with the Hanging Peaks - told them to come here and obey orders.

"Yes!" Without hesitation, Scott carried out the order - let alone Ian, even he knew that no rebel could be left behind - so that the other party would survive and spread independence

Ideation? Does it make everyone think that rebellion can be immortal?

Even if it takes a group of fools, as a happy comparison for the development of the territory in the future, isn't there other mountain tribes that can be used?

The backbone of the Yamaguchi and Katagani divisions should be removed.

And, of course, the most important point.

"There are only thirty troops in the army, and it is difficult to defend them, so where will the people come to see the prisoners."

Thinking of this, Scott breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ian's merciless command: "If Ian suddenly has a kind heart, I will persuade him not to kill him at this time."

Drop, don't talk about the future, there will definitely be big trouble in the near future. Jen 5

When Scott reported to Ian, all the people who could speak in Ryan were already aware of Ian's orders and were still in their armor as they prepared to come to Ryan Castle to obey his orders

The thoughtful boy raised his head slightly. Jen 2

"Very good, it proves that they are not stupid, and there can be fewer chickens to kill chickens and monkeys."

The Cyclops' red electronic eyes squinted at the Iron Folk who had reported: "What's the atmosphere in Ryan City?" Whether they welcome us or not, what about the people's tendencies?"

3]

Scott pondered for a moment, then replied, "The atmosphere is very bad and gloomy, Martin Hanging Peak's speech did move a lot of people, and there are indeed a lot of mountain people mixed in the Ryan Territory

They all did think that the Imperials would not be sincere to them, and even if Martin died, they would not be able to dispel this thought for a while. ”1

"As for him, although the people's hearts don't seem to be very oriented towards us, they are still willing to be obedient."

"That's enough."

Ian's voice was not discouraged in the slightest: "The people's heart is the most useful thing, but also the most useless thing.

{ 28

"Whether they support me or not, they can't prevent me from winning and Martin from defeating, and that's where the people's will is useless, even if the whole city is united

Togetherness is no match for an armor. ”

"And what's useful is that if I really want to rule the Lyon Territory and not destroy the city completely, I need to enlist the support of the people. Let them think I'm okay

Thinking that they bring stability and security, and believing in my abilities, they will cooperate with me without orders, and even help me imagine some benefits that I didn't know I knew existed.

"At that time, they could help me build more armor, better armor, even something completely new, beyond my expectations.

Saying this, Scott heard Ian's voice with a hint of emotion: "Scott, remember. Suppose one day you're like Martin and find yourself in this situation,

Thinking that you can win a military victory in a certain area with the support of the Ryan Lords is sure to suffer defeat. ”

"The verbal support and the inclination in my heart are all foggy moon in the mirror, they are all illusory, and they can't bring the slightest benefit to the actual battle, and they will also bring illusory illusions."

"Huh?"

Scott was a little confused about what he said when he said this, and after getting Ian's permission, he asked suspiciously: "But if there is the support of the local people,

Whether it's supply or intelligence work, it's very useful, right?

This is also where Ian admires Scott, although the other party is loyal and obedient, and Ian's instructions will be completed, but he also has his own ideas, and there will be big doubts

Dare to speak up.

"Yes." Ian nodded slightly, and he controlled the camera of the armor to point at the entire Ryan City: "If the gap between the hearts of the two sides of the battle has reached a point, it will provide mercy to one side."

At the point of retribution and supply, then the so-called "people's will" has changed from mere "inclination" and "verbal support" to "actual support", and then there will naturally be power. ”

2

"But such a popular will is absolutely impossible for one party to be good to the people, and it must be that one party is oppressing the people and one party is helping the people, so that this kind of tilt can be made

to turn into reality. It's too harsh, and it's almost impossible for Terra today. ”

"The problem is that even such a force is not what determines a real frontal battlefield, especially for a person who does not care at all about destroying the living forces in the target area

The purpose of saying this is to tell you that we don't need to get these people to approve of our approach, we just need to make them think that we are okay

That's it. ”1]

"We can be their rulers compared to others.

"It just takes that point.

Ian's gaze was indifferent, he had never intended to appear as a savior and rule over the Ryan Realm.

He wants to be a dictator who does what he does, what he says. { 4]

If you want this group of people to understand the deep meaning of his next various policies and new technologies, you will either wait for seven or eight years, or wait for the next generation. Jen 1

Since they don't understand, then don't talk and listen to him.

Sounds scary.

But in reality, this is the most common aristocratic practice in the world of Terra.

The most accepted method of rule by the people of this world -

So there needs to be a change. But not now.

Quietly thinking about what to do next, Ian sat in the driver's seat in armor, he closed his eyes, and rubbed his brow a little tiredly: "At least I've done it."

It was a very good start to all the homes in Ryan City that were qualified to compete with me for leadership. ”

"Next, it is necessary to clean up the uncooperative people and townships in the territory so that they can be obedient. Otherwise, there will be no space. ”

Although he said that he led the team to kill more people in one day today than in the past few years combined, he showed a smile instead: "Most of the plan has been successful. Jen 3]

The cyclops stood above the castle, gazing over the city, suppressing all restless thoughts.

At the same time, in the city of Lai'an, those who are not sublimators, but can also be regarded as big names in the eyes of ordinary people, are also full of fear and trepidation, towards the ancient castle of Lai'an

Convergence.

Whether it is the rebel mountain people or the Hanging Peaks, they have all looted a layer of oil and water when they entered Ryan City, and to be honest, it can be regarded as the normal war in this place of Terra.

If nothing else, there must be supplies, right? Especially in this kind of chaotic war in the countryside in a small place, all parties do not have a perfect logistics system, so they can only use it on the spot.

The merchants and shopkeepers of the city of Ryan are all named in the fields of alchemy, grain, transportation, and construction, and they are all acquaintances of each other, and they are actually heading to Lyan Castle

Before meeting the adult, they were all quietly discussing the current situation with each other.

"This is obviously a big man who still has people above, and we can open a special armor in this small place, what kind of background is this?"

The one who spoke was the owner of the Xiaguang Chamber of Commerce, who was once the owner of the Chamber of Commerce who was responsible for the procurement and sale of alchemy elixir raw materials under Baron Ryan, and he was well-informed and saw Ian's at a glance

Background: "And those soldiers, all of them are imposing and full of fighting spirit, even if they are not from the regular army background, they are also the most elite private army of our 'new lord'.

"See those light guns? - -The alchemy guns of water, these weapons alone, combined with a hundred or so ordinary militiamen to protect the front row, can take the original ones in the city

The rebels and the hill tribes pulled together and pushed together!"

II 1

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of everyone on the field was a little dull, although it was said that in this period of war, it was a good thing to have a strong lord to protect it, but who knew this new

The character of the lord? 1

Although Baron Ryan may indeed have joined some cult and done a lot of unbelievable evil things, he is really lenient with his subordinates, with little control and not much taxes, and even more

The benefits of the cultivation of glow grass are often used to give benefits to the people—now it seems that it is to use money to paralyze the crowd, but those days are for those of them who work under the aristocracy

It was a heavenly day.

And this new collar

Not to mention anything else, the killing intent is very big!

The tone of the group that says nothing and does not allow anyone to discuss and refute it, you can hear that the rules of the future must be very strict.

It's going to be a sad day.

The people on the side of the Chamber of Commerce gathered one by one, and they also noticed that on the other side, the original Ryan Leader and the Sublimation were also approaching, and the local guard captain and Baron Ryan's subordinates

Tax collectors and patriarchs of large families are all available.

Obviously, they did not dare to slack off, and when they heard the order, they all set out at the first time, to the castle of Lean, ready to listen to the instructions of the man.

Those who noticed this couldn't help but nod thoughtfully.

Ren 1]——

All the important people arrived at the first time, and it seemed that their new lord was really resolute in his work, and he had no intention of slowing down after killing people.

"What kind of person is the new lord?" 7 ]

With this in mind, they all came to the castle and waited in the hall with anxiety in mind.

Then they heard the sound of the stairs rattling.
