Chapter 221

On the fifth day after the Moles took the city of Sayo, the palace was ready for new guests after some restoration. The spacious and bright hall is completely renovated, with golden-red brocade carpets and red-trimmed curtains, giving people a feeling of enthusiasm and supporting the lively atmosphere.

The hall gathered some of the nobles of the former Duchy of Span and the nobles of the mountain people, as well as warriors and some representatives of the people of the city of Sayou.

Because of their status, the men gathered in different groups, with the nobles holding crystal wine glasses and talking to each other, trying not to look at the mountain people who gathered at the long tables where their meals were served, and the craftsmen and small traders who marveled at the gold ornaments on display.

At the top of the hall are four thrones encrusted with precious stones, they are lined up, the same height, but the jewels are decorated differently, from left to right, blue, red, yellow, green, the four colors naturally represent different people, who are the conveners of this great event and the new masters of this place.

At this time, the host of the banquet had not yet arrived, and the head of the Murphy family, dressed in a gorgeous peacock blue dress, squeezed around Lady Seroline, smiling and greeting, with a very flattering attitude - it was only a few days of work, and this woman, who had made them sigh for their fate, had become the hottest upstart in the entire city of Sayo.

"Lady Seroline, were you there when the honorable adults decided on the reward?"

"Hehe, Lord Murphy, don't worry, the adults are very generous, you just have to be patient, and you will be pleasantly surprised. Saroline said with a smile, and then her eyes swept to the uniformed band entering. As aristocrats, they all knew that this was the prelude to the appearance of the main lord, so they hurriedly stood on both sides of the aisle in the middle of the hall.

The sound of majestic ceremonial music sounded, and even the most casual guests hurriedly swallowed their food, wiped their hands and mouths, and stood solemnly behind the nobles, for they were about to see a great man who had dealt with all the defenders of a city with only four men, and must be treated with due respect.

The four of Mole entered the hall under the guidance of the honor guards, and they were also dressed up, except for Mole, who wore the magic robe made of his own dragon wings, and the others wore heavy and ornate leather gowns, made overnight by the best tailors and craftsmen in the city.

The four stood in front of their seats, and from left to right, Brandon, Rex, Moeller, and Ereba were. Moeller, who was standing on the right hand side of the center, gave the opening speech after everyone had quieted down after the ritual had stopped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have heard that this is a beautiful city formed by free trade, and that its owners abandoned it a year ago because of cowardice, and that the people who live here have spent a year of trampling and humiliation under the iron hooves of the invaders. And now, a year later, the four of us have breached the palace and occupied it, and as outsiders, how are we different from those who came before us?"

Moller's words were blunt, saying what everyone who came to this grand event did not dare to ask, but it was the biggest worry.

Then he looked at the audience with electric eyes, and said with confidence: "The biggest difference is that we are willing to respect and integrate! From today onwards, as long as you are welcome, we will be a part of you." We are willing to respect the customs, beliefs and rights of this land, and strict law and order will protect the property and personal safety of every law-abiding citizen, and we are committed to doing everything we can to protect the peace and tranquility of this land with you!"

At the end of Moeller's speech, the audience immediately responded with warm applause, and even the most cunning nobles were a little moved at this time, because Moeller and they occupied an absolutely advantageous position, and they did not have to compromise with any side at all, and if they did not really think so, they would not lower their posture and say that they were willing to respect and integrate into this remark.

In comparison, the triumphant and threatening declaration of Prince Rob when he came to power was simply a scumbag!

Some of the ordinary people of Sayo who were invited to witness were so excited that they knelt down and kissed the floor of the hall.

Moller paused, and waited for the excitement of this group of guys who had never seen what democracy was like before he was invited to the stage by a goosebumpy but mentally strong old man.

The old man's name was Ramz, and he was the most famous scholar and physician in Zayo, and he was more than one hundred and twenty years old. Although he is only a 3rd order life magician, he can configure many kinds of herbs to effectively cure various diseases, and he was originally the master of ceremonies of the Duchy of Spane, responsible for the coronation ceremony of important occasions, and later after Prince Rob came to power, he didn't have the heart to embarrass an old man who was about to die, but just let him go home to retire, but now it was reactivated by Moeller.

Ramz was followed by four white-clothed waiters, each with a crown in the tray on the top of their hands - in fact, these four crowns were all made by Moeller himself, and due to time constraints, they were all intermediate magic items, but they looked very gorgeous on the outside.

The first to be crowned was Ereba who was given the title of Earl, fief in the hemlock forest that led from Sayo City to the outside world in Dongfeng Ridge, so he would be called Count Hemlock in the future.

Then there is Brandon, the same earl's title, and his fief is in a place called Star Wolf Mountain in the Dongfeng Ridge Mountains, where a lot of iron ore is produced, and his official title in the future will be Count Star Wolf.

Then there was Moller, who was also an earl, and his fief was in Lake Feiyu, near the city of Zayo, so he was called Count Feiyu.

For Moller's title, the nobles below were particularly shocked, because Moller had always been the leader of the four, and he was the one who gave orders, but he didn't expect that it was not him who became the master of Sayo City in the end!

And then Rex's title was even more surprising, it turned out to be not a king, but the lord of the east wind, the duke.

Even if he tried his best to restrain himself, everyone present was inevitably in an uproar. Because the duke is not the supreme ruler, he must owe allegiance to the king. Could it be that these four people in front of them are not the main masters, and there is a deeper hidden master behind them?

Just when everyone was in doubt, Rex, who had already completed the sealing, spoke, and he was also concise and to the point, and said directly: "It is really a bit of a self-amusing feeling to be crowned king in a small place like Dongfeng Ling, if I want to be crowned king, at least wait until I lay down a land ten times larger than here, I will use the title of this Dongfeng lord first, and then transfer it to others later!"

Rex's speech was casual and domineering, which was equivalent to directly telling the nobles present that our brothers didn't look down on this small place, and they were not interested in being a king here.

However, the nobles who heard this did not feel dissatisfied because of this, but were more relieved: a master with lofty goals will naturally not care about the little meat on their plates, and may lead them to soar in the future......

Moller's speech played a soothing role, but Rex's words were shocking and agitating, reminding the people present that they were facing a strong man who was completely different from their identity and vision.

After the coronation, it is time to reward meritorious deeds. The first was the nobles who had contributed to the capture of Sayou, and Brandon read the edict of reward for them.

Naturally, the greatest contribution was Madame de Seroline, so she was the only one among all the nobles who kept the title of earl, and the highest title of the others was only viscount—after all, even the three Moeller who were masters only had the title of earl, how could the others dare to sit on an equal footing?

Although they did not have a nice title, these nobles were not unhappy at all, because they were all richly rewarded, not only did their fiefdoms become larger, but they also received a large number of gold coins and treasures.

After the nobles, the meritorious soldiers were rewarded, and the rewards announced to them by Eriba, several of the fierce generals with meritorious military achievements, led by Zhefu, were rewarded by the baron, and from then on entered the ranks of the nobility, while some other soldiers who fought bravely received official military ranks and gold rewards.

Later, figures such as Ramz were given symbolic honors and rewards to appease the hearts of the city.

At the end of the event, the reapers returned satisfied, and the Morles were on track to rule the city of Zayo.

Of course, some people are happy and some people are worried, and the most worried are naturally those who lose. Because Moller announced that he was going to build a mage tower, all the nobles and soldiers of the captured kingdom of Searle, including Prince Rob, were ordered by Moeller to go to the quarries outside the city to mine stones, and then transport them to Sayo City to make building materials, while the captives such as Hughes remained in Sayo City to participate in the construction of the mage tower.

This mage tower, Moeller intends to build three hundred meters high, standing on the top of the tower can overlook the whole city, but also can overlook the outside of the city, it will be a sharp weapon for the external defense of the city.

The original 9th-order guardian magic array in Sayo City is a very mediocre magic array, although Moeller has the ability to repair it, but there is nothing to improve, its defense is average, it can only be the basis of the entire defense system, if you want to make the enemy daunting, you still have to rely on the mage tower built in the city.

While Moller was building on his own, Rex, Ereba and Brandon reorganized their armies, and each left Sayo with a mixed army of three hundred men. It was only because Moeller and they occupied the city of Sayo, but there were other towns that belonged to the East Wind Ridge outside the city of Sayo that had not been conquered, such as the fiefdoms of Brandon and Moeller, and there were still hundreds of defenders there, and they needed to lead their troops to beat them up so that they could understand who their masters were.

In addition, the three of them had to block the army from the Ser Kingdom, which finally laid down a piece of land of hundreds of kilometers, but it was only a year before it was occupied by others.

However, the Kingdom of Serre is only a small country that is stronger than the Duchy of Span, and there are no 9th-order powerhouses in the country, and the troops that can be used are limited, and Rex's three armies are enough to deal with it. And Moeller didn't care if they would lose the battle, as long as they saved their lives, failure was a kind of ordeal.

Three of the four went out to fight, and the task of managing the ruined city of Sayo fell to Moller, Count of Flying Feather, but it was not a difficult task for Moller. For him, it's just a matter of quickly selecting people to do things.

"I want to establish a more perfect system, you forty-three people, all of whom are related to the law, I ask each of you to submit a proposal for the improvement of the current law and order within seven days, and whoever has the plan that impresses me the most will be given the post of judicial consul. ”

"Lord Earl!" the original magistrate was anxious, "but some of us are just clerks, and they also want to participate?"

"Yes. Moeller said mercilessly, "If you who are devoted students of the law are not even like clerks, what is there to say?"

The author has something to say: Fight for hegemony ~~~ Mighty for hegemony!
