"Whew!"

At that moment, a taller, iron-clad gnoll let out a howl. Subsequently, the rioting gnolls returned to formation.

"Chief?" The captain of the pikemen led by him reacted instantly, this group of gnolls is commanded by a leader, no wonder they can hold out for so long under the attack of the army in Zhenbei City.

"One hundred and thirty meters ahead, the target is a tall gnolf man in iron armor, covered with a rain of arrows!" After identifying the gnolls, the general directly ordered.

Hearing the command, the archers first calculated the distance, then raised their bows and arrows and began to shoot in the cover.

"Crash!"

The sound of continuous bowstrings sounded, and in the next second, a large number of arrows rose into the air, and a hundred bows and arrows directly covered all the surroundings of the position where the leader of the jackals was located, completely blocking any space for evasion, and before it could continue to command the army, it was nailed to the ground by a rain of arrows.

A large number of arrows pierced through the rudimentary iron armor on his body, like a large hedgehog. The death of the leader caused the newly stabilized group of gnolls to become chaotic again, and some of the gnolls had begun to flee, but with the combined attack of pikemen, barbarian warriors, and archers, those gnolls were no match at all, and soon all the gnolls who resisted were killed.

Arrange for men to capture the prisoners, and the remaining soldiers begin to clean up the battlefield.

Su Lun stood not far away and watched the end of this battle, nodding secretly in his heart, he led the soldiers to patrol the territory, but he didn't expect to see the pikemen captain directing the battle when he came here.

"Go and call the pikeman captain. Su Lun commanded the attendant next to him. Soon an attendant rode over, and about a cup of tea, a scarred pikemen captain with a scar on his face and a strong body came to Suren and bowed.

"See Your Lord. ”

"Get up!" Su Lun said with a smile.

"You commanded the battle just now?"

"Yes, my lord!" the soldier said, nodding.

Although he had seen it with his own eyes, Su Lun was still surprised, knowing that Su Lun did not train these soldiers to command, and this soldier was completely self-taught.

Thinking of this, Su Lun directly used the system to check the soldier's information. The system's prompt sound soon sounded in his ears, and to Su Lun's surprise, it was the content of the prompt.

"Ding! Congratulations, you've found a hero among your soldiers!"

New hero?

Su Lun was taken aback after hearing the prompt of the system, you must know that the probability of breaking through from a soldier to becoming a hero is very low, but I didn't expect that this time I was so lucky, and I actually met one here.

Su Lun looked at the pikeman in front of him seriously, his body was strong, tall, he looked very well-proportioned, his expression was solemn, his eyes were resolute, and his standing posture was also very standard, giving people a sense of perseverance and calmness.

"What's your name?" asked Suren.

"Occam. The soldier replied.

Su Lun nodded and continued: "Your command just now is very good, you have proved your bravery and military talent, I am ready to appoint you as a general!

A trace of surprise leaked from Occam's face, but it quickly disappeared, he knelt down on one knee in front of Su Lun, put his right hand on his chest and said with a serious expression: "Lord Lord! I, Occam am willing to be loyal to you, become a sword in your hand, and fight for you in all directions!"

As the words fell, Su Lun's ears rang again with the system's prompt sound.

"Congratulations to the host, hero: Occam has pledged his allegiance to you and asked to join your command, do you agree?"

"Agreed!"

Then, in the hero column of the system interface, Occam's name appeared, and his data also appeared in front of Suren's eyes.

Seeing Occam's attributes, Su Lun was quite satisfied, although the third-level extraordinary strength was not high among heroes, but as long as he worked hard after becoming a hero, he would soon be able to advance to the fourth order after participating in a few more battles. Moreover, Occam's attributes are different from Boulder and Johnson, and he is a commander-type hero.

Although the strength of the boulder and Johnson is stronger than Occam, they all belong to the kind of heroes who charge into the formation, although this kind of hero is strong in his own right, but he does not know how to arrange troops and march to fight, and now the only hero in Zhenbei City who can be alone is Succubus Chrissy, and Succubus Chrissy is not familiar with the battle array.

Occam happens to be a commander-type hero, which is very good for the expansion of Zhenbei City.

Suren drew his sword and placed it on Occam's shoulder, following the allegiance of the knights of this world.

"Good. After the ceremony was completed, Su Lun rewarded his sword to Occam, who was kneeling on one knee, and then said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, you are the military governor of Mirror Lake City, and the army of Mirror Lake City has been transferred to your command, and you are also the Archon of Mirror Lake City, responsible for the construction of Mirror Lake City. ”

"Yes!" Occam replied hearing Suren's appointment.

The appointment of Occam as the consul of Mirror Lake City is just a measure of equity, in Suren's mind, the city's military power and administrative power are two completely different lines, the army is only responsible for training troops to fight, and the administrative force is to develop the city, and the two sides cooperate with each other, or contain each other, forming a balance.

This way of separating civil and military forces is very necessary, if there are no such restrictions, when there is more territory and more generals in the future, there will be no constraints, and those generals are likely to become the emperor of one side.

Although these people declared their allegiance to Su Lun, their descendants are not necessarily, in order to prevent the emergence of this kind of local separatist forces, Su Lun directly banned it from the root, but the current situation is a bit special, Su Lun does not have enough manpower in his hands at all.

After the official training base in Zhenbei City is upgraded, a better training system will be established, and then qualified officials will be trained. At that time, Occam's rights will be withdrawn, and his place of office will be changed.

In the future, Suren will also canonize the nobility, this world, before you don't have the strength to break the rules, then it's best to abide by the rules of this world, although the aristocracy system has many shortcomings, but it is very suitable for this era.

Of course, Suren will not be like other countries, where the nobles have absolute authority in their fiefdoms, and everything in the fiefdom is controlled by the nobles. This is impossible, the nobles of the Suren feud are like hereditary military governors, they have their own army, but they do not have the jurisdiction of the territory, the jurisdiction belongs to the state, and the taxes in the fief are equally divided between the state and the nobles.

In a city, although the nominal right to rule belongs to the lord, but the lord does not control all the wealth, there are free people, there are merchants, and there are ordinary commoners in the city, these people own land, real estate, and these wealth belong to these people, although they nominally belong to the lord, but the lord only owns a part of the land or manor, and it cannot be all his.

In the rules established by Suren, the canonized nobles owned manors, castles, mansions, and knights, but the army that maintained the city must be owned by the state, and the nobles could only keep their own private soldiers, and all the lands except the lord's fief belonged to the principality, and those freemen, merchants, etc., were also subjects of the principality.

The laws in the territory are the same as those of the principality, which means that the nobles can retain their wealth, but the management, ruling power, laws, etc. of the city belong to the principality. Of course, being a nobleman can also hold positions in the principality, and nobility does not affect this.

As for the sudden transformation from the feudal lord feudal system to the feudal county centralized system, Su Lun is not without consideration, although he has the system, but the loyalty in the system cannot be forced to lock the full value, only those who use their own hero templates can be forced to lock.

Once he implements the county system, those nobles who have not received enough benefits will definitely be unwilling, after all, when they are the emperor of the soil and the rich man of the land, as long as they are not stupid, they know that it is good. There will even be defections at that time. After all, the surrounding countries are all feudal systems.

So Suren decided to use this method to centralize power.

In fact, Suren didn't care much about the wealth, but the people, the land. The foundations of a nation are built on people and land.

Suren also studied the feudal system of Florence and the surrounding countries, although the feudal system allowed the nobles to become emperors in the territory, but they still had to pay taxes to the nobles of the upper ranks, usually half, and of course the lord's own property belonged to him.

These taxes will be divided step by step, and finally go to the king, so that as long as there is no problem, the king will always be the most powerful, of course, in this otherworld, many times, there will be changes, for example, the emergence of a legend.

In fact, the law of this world is still that the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle.

After inspecting the progress of Mirror Lake City, Su Lun handed over the development plan of Mirror Lake City to Occam, and then returned to Zhenbei City with his army.
