In order to open up the dense forest area, the kingdom of Herod spent more than 20 years, investing a huge amount of money and materials, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and magicians.

In order to destroy the Tree of Life, a fortress in the forest, even Herode's most famous archmage, Gasni, personally stepped in and developed an unprecedented earth-based forbidden spell that turned the densely vegetated forest into a continuous desert.

No one thought that the old elven tribe would last long, and even the gods seemed to have abandoned the land, but after a mercenary from the Coastal Territory intervened in the war, the balance of war began to tilt incredibly for everyone.

The infantry of only 200 people actually beat thousands of Wang *** team to the ground, and even the mage troops from Genting City were helpless against them.

Never-before-seen long-range weapons, flexible tactics, unusually high discipline, and the skill to win the hearts of the locals made this team bigger and stronger, bigger and bigger, and finally developed into a mixed army of orcs and young elves. net

The leader of this army, Sadaka, was reverently called the "White General" by the Herodians, and already had a great reputation in the kingdom for stopping the night crying of the Herodian children.

However, all those who know the actual situation will not think that this is just a group of lucky beast slaves, relying on good courage to fight in the dense forest, and finally swept away the legend of thousands of armies against the sky and changing their lives, with all kinds of complicated feelings, they focused their eyes on the small territory controlled by the demons on the southern seaside.

Everyone knows that behind that mercenary stands the lord of the Coastal Territory, the Earl of Silver Dragon Castle, and the sixth prince of the Demon Clan, Vincent von Steyakard, this young man who has brought too many surprises to the dull continent this year and created countless topics.

In less than a year, Vincent had managed to turn himself into one of the most formidable enemies of the kingdom of Herodes, and his actions had made his Majesty the King, who was physically and mentally ill, miserable.

The direct and indirect losses of the Wang *** team in his hands are 30,000 yuan, and the money he lost is even more bloody.

Although the death of the archmage was kept secret, it undoubtedly broke one of the pillars of the kingdom, and made the nobles of the kingdom shocked and helpless.

Of course, hatred is hate, but now is definitely not a good time for revenge.

Vincent had just gotten rid of the Noren family, who had been buried in the Coastal Territory, and all of his henchmen from the head of the family, Lancer, were taken back to Silverdragon Castle, and after a public trial, they confessed to collaborating with the enemy, and then they were all put on a noose.

What made the Herodians even more depressed was that, despite the loss of their venerable lord, the group of tenant farmers, serfs and servants who had lived on them for decades did not complain about this.

The nobles, who had been expecting to take advantage of the chaos and rush in to intervene, gathered their troops and waited for a month, but did not wait for the rebellion on the other side.

It's not that the Herodians are unlucky, it's that the demons are too cunning, and they divide the land and property of the Lancer family at a staggering speed, and buy people's hearts nakedly.

The debt-ridden tenant farmers turned into yeoman farmers, and they burned the serfs' deeds of sale, giving them enough land to support their families, and quickly pulling more than 95 percent of the local lords to the side of the lords.

For the remaining wealthy families and merchants who already owned a lot of land and had a close relationship with the Noren family, the demons forcibly moved all of them to Silver Dragon Castle and placed them directly under the jurisdiction of the lord, while giving them the same amount of land or monetary compensation to appease them.

In less than ten days, the demons had completely eradicated the remnants of the Noren family, and the power it had been operating for decades was swept away, leaving all the poor peasants who were absolutely loyal to the lord.

The demons are not just for the poor to do charity, they dig deep into the ground to loot the wealth of the Noren family, and also set up a militia, composed of the most supportive peasants of the lord, on the one hand, fiercely suppress the remnants of the Noren family, and on the other hand to guard against the threat from the north.

Once identified as rebelling against the lord, the remnants of the Norren family, or the daughters of Herodes, were subjected to brutal torture and ill-treatment, and soon all opponents disappeared in the night.

All of this is related to a female devil who always wears a black dress and has a cold and sassy temperament.

She became a temporary magistrate of the local area, and all the gold coins and sinners would not be spared.

Whoever is against him, not to mention the family property, will not even have a drop of blood left on his body.

At this moment, the famous female demon is pestering the lord Vincent, asking him for more lucrative tasks.

"Taxing the local elves?" Vincent couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Cecil, don't you look like the local people still look like they can collect taxes?"

"Taxes, as long as you want, there will always be a squeeze." Cecil straightened up her proud chest, squeezed her hand inward a few times with a smile, and deliberately glanced at Ninia next to her, who was about to stop talking, "Of course, some places are a little worse now, maybe there is hope in the future."

What a disgusting demon! Ninia resisted the urge to put her hand on the Aphotic Blade, looked down at her improved breastplate, and then looked at Vincent with an aggrieved look.

"It is natural to collect taxes on the territory, even if it is small, it must be collected, this is the authority of the lord."

"However, I don't plan to include this place in my territory, so I don't have to think about taxation."

Vincent's first half of the sentence made Cecil brow, but the second half of the sentence immediately made the beautiful girl frown, and she looked hurt to cut the flesh from her.

Seeing the heartfelt sadness of this wealth-obsessed blood clan, Ninia couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, revealing two shallow dimples.

"Is this true? Why?" Cecil cried out in anguish, "It took so much money to fight down, and that's it...... Don't you?"

"We were meant to do justice and reach out to the oppressed elves against the greedy Herodians, not to expand the land," Vincent said with a smirk of smirk, "Do you think I look like an insatiable Herodis?"

"Of course not." Ninia rushed to say with adoration on her face, "You are a great lord like no other."

"We are demons, what's the use of, justice and kindness, the most important thing is to get benefits," Cecil said sarcastically with a look of disdain, "Don't talk about those hypocritical things, why don't you swallow the land that is sent to your mouth?"

"Because we can't follow the old path of the Herodians," Vincent retracted his smile and said solemnly, "This land has been inhabited by elves for tens of thousands of years, and it cannot be taken by force in a short time, let alone how much money and time it takes to build a wasteland in order to generate profits?"

Cecil's eyes widened, and he calmed down and thought for a moment, and suddenly became deflated.

"It's all to blame on the damned 'Streambreaker, it's so hateful to ruin everything, I'm going to use his skull as a bowl......

"That's not okay."

"Why?"

"Because there are so many people who are pretended, and one of them is my father."

"Well, the Demon King wants it too, so I'll forget it......

Seeing that Cecil was gradually depressed, Vincent still couldn't bear it, so he announced his thoughts to these two women who had an extraordinary relationship with him.

"This land cannot be seized by the Herodes, and the elves think that it is cursed and do not want to take it, so it has become a terra nullius, so I propose that a free trade zone be built here, and become a gathering place for merchants from all over the world to trade freely."

"Does that include the Herodian merchants?" Ninia asked worriedly, "Surely they are not dead yet."

"I mean, of course, all merchants who wish to trade fairly, to make peace here, regardless of race, nationality, creed, or status," Vincent replied calmly, "and the Herodians brought war and desolation, and I wish to plant hope in a cursed land......

"I'll talk about it later!" Cecil couldn't help but interrupt Vincent, and asked eagerly, "It's good to be rich, but what does it have to do with us?"

"I am confident that as long as there is fair competition, the goods of our territory will never lose to others, and the biggest profit in the market will definitely return to Silver Dragon Castle." Vincent's spirits were as if everything was under control, "Moreover, we do not occupy the land, we want to be the guardians of fair trade, protect

to protect the proper trade order."

Although Cecil had sensed something, it still seemed that she didn't understand it, but Ninia couldn't help but applaud Vincent's words.

"Master, you are so right, instead of taking possession of land under the hatred of an angry neighbor, it is better to make rules for long-term benefits, and this is the one you are talking about...... Non-possession...... It's always there!"

"That's right, my student, Fu Wei Fuju, is not going to go, and the way of heaven is also." Vincent nodded at her with satisfaction, "Compared to the land, people's hearts are long-lasting."

"Yes, we will make it!" Ninia was excited, her eyes full of longing, "The messenger of Herod is doomed to disappointment."

"Of course, they actually want me to return the magician who surrendered, and threaten me to hand over the orc criminals and compensate for the damages." Vincent sneered, "What you can't get on the battlefield, you actually want to take it with your mouth, and in two days you go to the north to guard, and if you dare to attack, I will destroy it with guns."

"Yes, master, huh? Wait a minute," Ninia customarily agreed, but then wondered, "Why two days, can't I return today?"

Hearing the girl's question, Vincent showed the strange smile that had sent chills down Ninia's back again.

"It's not time yet...... In the next few days, you will stay and rehearse a new program, which will be used at the celebration."

Seeing Ninia's long-lost shudder, Cecil's face was full of schadenfreude.

"Hehehehe, even if you can lead troops to fight, but a slave is a slave, go and prepare, it is your greatest honor to serve my fiancé, hehehehe......

Halfway through the laugh, Cecil was surprised to find that Vincent was looking at her with a wicked smile, which made her feel stunned.

"Well, actually, Cecil, you have a part in the same," the lord said word for word, "and you perform with her."

"Huh? Yes? What?" Cecil thought she had misheard, "You made me ...... With this woman...... Performance?"

"That's right." Vincent looked at the stunned Bloodclan and pointed at himself again, "Don't worry, I'll go with you too."
