In the Coastal Territory, Dolan Village is a typical poor village in the territory.

The village is not large, there are five or six hundred villagers, there are no resources worth mentioning, and it is located in a remote mountainous area, which has the stubborn habits of mountain people, and the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it.

If there is a cult entrenched, this kind of mountain village will be even more isolated from the world, which will not only be difficult to govern, but will also threaten the roads under the mountain and affect the economy of the territory.

Therefore, Vincent was not surprised by their rebellion, the rule of the demons in the coastal territory has always been concentrated in a few large towns and seaside ports, and there has always been a lack of attention to the mountains and marginal areas.

If they are not allowed to recognize the situation, these lonely and unheard of fellows will not be proud, and they will be even more proud to consider themselves the defenders of the dignity of the human race.

In addition, there is another point that cannot be ignored, that is, because such places are closed and remote, they have not found their role in the economic system of the territory, and cannot obtain the opportunities and dividends of development, which are naturally prone to centrifugal force.

In this battle, Vincent could have taken other roads to bypass, but since he came here at the expense of the near and far, he wanted to pull out this potential threat that was close at hand.

After taking the place, Vincennes immediately sent someone to inform the church and ask them to come back to the mission.

Of course, missionary work is not allowed to interfere with local taxes and commerce.

The missionary priest will definitely come uninvited, and taking the initiative to notify will not only send a favor to the bishop, but also have the intention of wooing the church.

If the cult dares to make a comeback, it will not only be against the lord, but also blatantly against the Church of Light and Order.

The villagers of Dolan Village are not a professional army, and they do not have a numerical advantage, and they have no chance of winning in the field in the face of the skeleton army, but they can still defend to the death.

The villages on the plains were not so lucky.

The village of Nur is surrounded by flat farmland with open land and no place to hide.

Even if they take refuge in a manor surrounded by high walls, the peasants fear that the seedlings in the fields will be destroyed by the army, and it will be difficult to maintain the will to fight.

At such a time, as long as Vincent asked the army to pull out of the queue, and let the army of skeletons with weapons and bright armor advance in the direction of Shunguang, the peasants in the courtyard would be frightened and helpless at the sight of the cold glittering weapons.

Next, Vincent would get the local people to be messengers with banners and send the liege's conditions to the village.

If the other party does not allow the messenger to enter, Vincent asks a group of people to shout outside for the people inside to hear.

The first is that the lord has exempted 20% of the tax, which will definitely be enforced, and it will take effect this year.

The second is to accept the village's renewed allegiance and protect the personal and property safety of the loyalists.

The third is to ensure that after the war, there will be no plundering in the local area and that military supplies will be purchased fairly.

The fourth is to require the peasants to open up their trade routes and sell goods to the merchants.

The above are all favorable conditions for the peasants and the village, and the peasants will not make up their minds to resist when they see that the demons do not slaughter, but instead give them conditions that will benefit them.

Compared with the above moderate policies, there are also some contents that are more violent.

The lord demanded that the village must hand over the chief, the tax collector or the landlord who violated the lord's tax reduction policy, confiscate their property and distribute it to the poor villagers, and liberate their tenant farmers and serfs.

The cultists must be handed over, and the bewitched ordinary people can be given a chance to convert, but those who are obsessed will be judged by the church.

If they do not carry it out, the whole village will be excommunicated as an apostate.

Yes, Vincent's emphasis was on letting the church judge.

If they betray the Church of Light and Order and are excommunicated, the Church will not care about the lives of these people, and ordinary people will not think that the punishment of the lord is excessive.

Sure enough, Vincent's request was flatly rejected by the local tax collector and large landowner Decas.

The peace negotiations could not succeed, and the people were meant to see the selfishness and cowardice of the landlords.

As for the method of attacking, Vincent intended to show his strength, but there was no need for a strong attack at all.

Under normal circumstances, when facing an enemy who refuses to defend them, the demon commander will generally choose to besiege first, and then weaken the opponent by using monster attacks and various dark magic.

Polluting water sources, setting fires in the air, releasing pathogens, and spreading poison are commonplace, as are assassinations and manipulating enemies.

If you have the opportunity, you can directly transform enemies without magic protection into undead creatures, and it is also a popular means to meet the inside and outside.

If there were no large number of magicians and magic props to deal with in it, even if the commander of the defense was determined and his subordinates were loyal and brave, it would be impossible to resist for more than three days.

After all, most of the time, the demons don't have the need to capture captives for money or collect labor, and if they don't want to get terror or necromantic servants, they won't deliberately keep the village at all, and often let the fire demons burn it down.

Thus, after a symbolic rain of arrows was fired at the wall, and the skeleton archers were prepared to shoot rockets, the village of Nur, with its population of thousands and fertile land, surrendered smoothly.

The taxman Ducasse, who is a wealthy man, and the cultists hiding in his house were tied up into rice dumplings by the people and thrown out directly.

This is the best, Vincent's life belief is to make more people happy, and if they can not use traditional arts, they will not use it.

It is his stated goal to leave all the people and the village, and only take away the loyalty of the people.

But sometimes even if Vincent really has good intentions, says good things, does good deeds, and is a good person, the people who are full of prejudice against the demons don't believe him.

Thousands of heavily armed skeletons and gallows on a tree at the head of the village can have a better propaganda effect.

Compared to the gentle drizzle in the village of Dolan, the movement in the more affluent village of Nur to the north is much greater.

If you want to gain the trust of the people, in addition to giving them benefits, you must also set up enemies for them.

The best targets are the tax collectors and accomplices, who own half of the land and wealth in the village.

"Come on, my toys, let you see the landlord package I prepared for them." Vincent said to Ninia, "We don't suffer from inequality, we don't suffer from poverty, we need to solve the problems of farmers and land if we want to stabilize the countryside." ”

Seeing that she looked like she was concerned, Vincent explained kindly.

"Study hard, combine the local experience with the actual situation in your hometown, and give your parents and fellow villagers a hard work."

So, after sending out monsters and arresting all the landlords, family members and accomplices under the report of the villagers, Vincent held a special grievance meeting on a breezy night.

As expected, when the local poor peasants sued the landlord and the tax collector, the tax collector Decass directly denied it and did not admit his crime at all.

"Look, at first glance, it's a dirt bun that hasn't seen the world in Silver Dragon Castle, and you actually think that you can pass the test with a hard mouth?" Vincent sneered and beckoned to his necromancer, "It's not enough for the bitter lord of the yang world, come to the underworld on the hour." ”

With the swing of the staff, thousands of white spirits rose from the land around the village, like a miserable white smoke, enveloping the venue of the grievance meeting.

Truth be told, this amount is really beyond Vincent's expectations.

It seems that there are a bit more people dying of unnatural causes in the village......

"There are ghosts in the head, and some people just don't believe it." Vincent pursed his lips and arranged slightly, "It's time to listen to ghost stories, tell the skeletons and monsters to get ready to sit down, and recharge their batteries with midnight fear by the way." ”
