153 The Madness of the Careerist (Part I)
The next day, after poisoning King Sitan, who was trying to secretly contact Ceddes, the princess allowed his third son to become the new king, and she withdrew the troops stationed north of CΓ‘ddes and demanded that all of them come to the kingdom of Citan and its vicinity.
Soon, the entire Setan was filled with nearly 100,000 Kalan soldiers, and all kinds of siege equipment were slowly pushing to the front line, and although her sister First Princess, although she complained about this, she did not directly intervene to stop it.
In the early hours of the morning, in the early hours of the morning, he rode the dragon in Kadesanca, the city of the clock tower, which was described in the letter as the most problematic.
Ankka asks Wyvern to rest in the valley and go to the city alone to investigate, and Ankka is surprised to find that this place is completely different from before he left.
The neat avenue and the dazzling array of stores made Anka feel that what was said in the document was false.
But when the first bell rang in the morning, Ankka noticed that the crowd had all walked out of the house and walked side by side towards the central square.
Ankka noticed that they were all like walking corpses without any spirits, and Ankka wondered what was going on in the square and followed them towards it.
Arriving at the plaza, Anka found that it was the new administrator, waiting for the crowd on the high platform in the center of the plaza with his hands behind his back.
When the official saw that the crowd had gathered, he shouted loudly from above: "I have only one question for today's morning meeting, who wrote to the fortress city?" β
Seeing that no one agreed, the official actually took out a list from his bosom and said, "Don't think that I can't do anything to you!" β
After he commanded the soldiers to catch the people on the list one by one on the stage, Anka couldn't hold back any longer, and walked directly to the stage, pushing away the blocking guards, and then walked to the stage to confront him.
Seeing this, the officer shouted: "Guards, guards! β
Ankha pointed at the officials and asked, "Where do you get the authority to do this?" β
The official held up his stomach that his clothes couldn't cover and said, "It's His Majesty Anka." β
Ankka said with a blank expression, "What? β
The officer smiled and pulled out a parchment document from his bosom, and Anka looked at it and found that it was a document related to his transfer here, and it did have Anka's signature and seal on it.
Ankh said, "Then you can't do that to the people!" No one will allow you to do that. β
"I'm just doing what His Majesty has given me, and what law says you can't do that?"
Ankka didn't know what to say for a while, so she was dragged down by the guards.
After watching the people who were caught on it being beaten and bleeding from their clothes, Ankka broke free and ran out of town.
After returning to Fort City on the Wyvern, Anka went down and grabbed Sodeyith and brought him to the dragon's back, Sodeith asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" β
"You'll know in the past."
After arriving at Bell Tower City, Anka commanded the Wyvern to land in the middle of the square, and the surrounding pedestrians all ran towards the house in fear when they saw the Wyvern.
The officials also poked their heads out of their office building when they learned of the dragon's arrival, and when they saw Sodeyith walking down from above, he straightened his clothes and face and walked towards the square.
The official saluted respectfully when he came to Sodeyith's side, and when he saw Anka beside Sodeyith, he lowered his head as if he knew something, and did not continue to make a sound.
Before Anka was about to announce the order to put him to death, Sodeis said, "Your Majesty, his sin should not be enough to be put to death!" β
Ankh turned to look at Sodeyith in a daze and asked, "What?" β
"He's just a little too aggressive in fulfilling the duties you've given him, and I'm sure he'll correct it."
Ankka had always believed in Sodeyith in his heart, even if he had forced himself in the position of ruler, Ankka did not have the idea of abandoning him, but his words made Ankka now feel the possible betrayal of those close to him.
Ankha said, "Then let him give some of his property to the people on the list as compensation." β
The official trembled and bowed his head in thanks.
When Ankka and Sodeyth returned to Fort City, Ankka asked, "What do you think of the fact that I wish I could codify the laws of Cades and set up a department for regulatory officials?" β
Sodeyith nodded in agreement, but still refused, saying, "I'm afraid that the things you want to do can't be implemented right now. β
"Are the departments of the Cades bloated like this now?"
"No, it's just that there are so many things to deal with right now, we have to make new weapons and shipyards, and we have to open up the Jagged Coast, and now we have to settle a large number of refugees and defend against the Kalan army of the Titan Kingdom, and now we can barely maintain our manpower, and we can't do anything else."
Ankh was a little dissatisfied but didn't say anything, he looked at the tired Sodeyith and said, "Go and rest!" β
Ankh then traveled alone to the border of the Cades and sat on a mound looking at the crowd and the improvised tents they had set up as they stretched to the end of the horizon.
Ankh scratched his head and asked the soldiers on the side, "Are you arranging this slowly?" β
"Your Majesty, because there are so many of them, the existing positions are all occupied, and if we continue to arrange, we don't know what to do with them."
"Aren't there so many places in the Western Mountains?"
"Do you want them to be miners?"
"There's enough space and jobs there, so I'll just put them there."
"Yes, I'll go over and inform the officials there."
Ankh got up and called out to the soldier and said, "This time, I'd like to use a small council of ten people for the governing body there. β
"Why is that?"
"These Racetans should also have a seat at the table to let them know that we are very fair, and that would also reassure the new and former Racetans that they have their own people in the Governing Body."
"Yes, I'll tell Mr. Sodeyith to go and set it up."
"You don't need to inform him now, you go and form the council and settle the people and tell him when it's all over! He's been busy with other things lately. β
After communicating with the soldiers, Anka walked into the crowd, looked at them and asked curiously, "May I ask how is the Titan Kingdom?" β
"Like hell, can we run? The Karans and wild beasts looted and killed our fellow human beings at will, and we couldn't stand it anymore and split into two factions, one of which was for us to flee and find a way, and the other for fighting the Karan army with pitchforks. β
Ankh was very happy when he heard this, because he had obtained important information very easily, and Ankka knew that the Kahlan soldiers there now were a group of people who were no different from robbers, and the military discipline was extremely loose, but they were only well-equipped.
And knowing from this that their commander must be a stupid man who can only use brute force to go on a rampage, and has no ability to govern at all, Ankka thought carefully and weaved a new plan in his heart.
