Casting spells

"It's you! It's you! Are you plotting against me?"

After all, Melroth was not too stupid, and immediately realized the hidden conspiracy behind the whole thing, and his eyes showed strong doubts and incomprehension.

He didn't understand at all why these guys who had "no grudges in the past and no grudges in the present" with him would suddenly join forces to attack him, and they would be so vicious as soon as they struck, intending to kill him.

You must know that the atmosphere among nobles in this world has always been open. Normally, if something happens with a married woman, it will not lead to drawing swords. In some places, the noble ladies even use the number of men they have played with as a measure. popular standard.

Interestingly, behind the spread of this trend, the law clearly protects marriage, and husbands have the right to retaliate against men who violate their chess pieces.

This also meant that even if Baron Kellanster killed Melroth, there would be no legal problems, which belonged to the category of reasonable and legal.

Obviously, since he met the beautiful and charming Mrs. Melissa, he has fallen into the trap carefully set by others, and then in the process of sinking desire, he quietly drank poisonous wine.

"That's right! Make us! As for the reason, you are too much in the way, and it is easy to cause accidents in future plans, so we have to get rid of you first." Kerwin raised his glass calmly, and took a sip to watch Dark red wine.

"In the way? What are you planning?!" Melrot asked loudly, gnashing his teeth.

Kerwin shook his head slightly: "Sorry, I can't tell you, because the master doesn't allow it. Well, let's stop this boring talk, Baron, kill him."

"As you wish, my lord."

Baron Kellanster took a sudden step forward, facing the flames sprayed out by the opponent, put away his sword, and his head rolled to the ground with a grunt.

The glaring blood was sprayed several meters high, and then the headless corpse fell to the ground with a plop.

"Easier than expected, isn't it?" Kerwin's eyes shone with a strange light.

Undoubtedly, he enjoyed the feeling of being in charge of life and death very much, especially when the other party was the president of the spellcaster guild who had once made him fearful.

Isolt sarcastically said: "Of course you are simple! But do you know how difficult it is to get a bottle of silt worm poison gland? I spent a total of [-] gold coins to buy it from the black market. Now Now that Melrot is dead, let us begin to implement the agreement we reached before. From today, you will be in charge of the army and the territory, and we will be in charge of the power of magic, without interfering with each other."

"No problem! This is the master's arrangement. Naturally, I will not disobey his order, but one thing, you must provide magical assistance to my army. After all, it is not easy to go to war with a country. Without magic, those The monster must not be able to resist the berserk power of the court spellcaster." Kerwin quickly proposed the terms of exchange.

"Yes! But at the beginning, don't move too much. Let's set a small goal first, that is, to get through the western provinces. There are few people here, and most of the lords are relatively independent. As long as you move quickly, you can completely kill the royal family before the royal family reacts. It is completely under control." Isolt put forward his own ideas.

"Good suggestion! I'll consider it." Speaking of this, Kerwin turned around and looked at Kai Lanster, who was staring at a green prairie above his head. "Baron, thank you and your wife for your assistance. I promise that when the official invasion begins, you will get what you want. At that time, I will give you an army to personally kill the former enemies and use their blood Wash away the shame of the family."

boom!

Baron Kailanster slapped his armor hard, and solemnly knelt down on one knee: "I swear! As long as you can help me complete my revenge, I am willing to be loyal to you for life and will never betray you."

"I accept your allegiance! Go ahead and take your wife home. In the next few days, there may be some bloodshed in the city, so don't get involved for now."

"understand!"

……

Melrot's death meant many things, the most obvious being that after his death, the Spellcasters' Guild fell directly into the hands of Isolt and his cronies.

In addition, Kerwin finally made a move and began to clean up those guys who refused to surrender to him wholeheartedly.

In less than a week, more than 500 people were publicly executed in this city, and 2000 people disappeared inexplicably.

In the most iron-fisted way, he integrated all the resources and power in his territory, coupled with the continuous stream of monsters starting from the magic tower and reaching the outside of the city wall, a large army that could sweep the western provinces was ready to go.

When the change of seasons begins, the city, which has been completely transformed into a war machine, finally stretches out its claws on its nearest neighbor.

With the help of the cover of night, more than [-] monsters bypassed the main road, advanced along the dense forest, and then directly launched a surprise attack while the opponent was not paying attention, ushering in the first victory with blood and death.

Kill!

Ruthless killing!

In order to ensure that he could rule effectively, Kerwin did not keep any noble captives at all, and directly killed all of his uncle's family, leaving only those young noble women as spoils of war for himself and his important vassals to enjoy.

Chapter 53 has been planned for a long time

"It seems that the plan is going well, doesn't it?"

Staring at the image transmitted by the magic mirror, Zhang Cheng held his chin with one hand and a faint smile appeared on his face.

As Kerwin officially declared war on the surrounding lords, he had occupied the entire western province in less than a month and a half.

Due to the high speed, most of the opponents didn't even have time to react, and the strong castles and walls were already captured by endless monsters, and it was too late to ask for help from the outside world.

To be precise, according to the relatively backward communication methods of this planet, it is estimated that the kingdom does not know what happened here.

When they reacted, there would no longer be any resistance here, and they could either submit obediently and become a tool man, or be executed by the whole family.

You must know that overthrowing the existing ruling class through riots and other methods is not an easy task in any era. Let alone the astonishing gap in equipment, the quality of the mob and the professional army alone is enough to form an absolute crush.

Many so-called large-scale rebels in history were actually originally because the ruling class did not pay attention to them. As a result, the opponent was given time and opportunity to grow and grow, and gradually turned from a mob to a professional army.

Otherwise, as long as the ruling class takes it seriously, any riots initiated by ordinary people cannot really shake the foundation of the rule, even if it is outright tyranny.

Alans put his chest on his chest with one hand and bowed deeply in response: "Of course, master. You gave them so many monsters, if even a group of rabble can't fight, it would be too useless."

"Don't be too mean. You need to understand that capture, occupation and domination are three distinct states. The first requires only the destruction of the existing ruling class, the second requires the destruction of most of the resistance, and the third This item must allow the civilians in the occupied area to accept the new ruler, and no longer have both psychological and physical conflicts. Our Lord Kerwin is obviously not satisfied with the first two, he wants to become a real king .” Zhang Cheng explained meaningfully.

After all, conquest has never been a difficult task, just like those famous conquerors on earth, whether it is Alexander who is advocated by the Western world, Temujin who has the title of the strongest butcher, or Napoleon, the greatest French commander On the surface, it seems that the record is extremely brilliant, and a large area of ​​land is under his control at once.

But actually?

They are only superficial occupations, and they have not cleaned up the original vested interest groups on the land. Instead, they have given them benefits and privileges to become their own supporters.

The advantage of doing this is that it can maintain the rule at the lowest cost, restore order in the occupied area, and provide it with a steady stream of various resources and taxes.

As for the disadvantages, it is natural that after I die, the huge empire I built with my own hands will collapse, and it will be split into countless forces acting independently.

Undoubtedly, this is the easiest kind of conquest, a political and military speculation, without political integration or cultural integration.

But Kerwin is different. He knows how to use his strength to destroy the original ruling class in the occupied area, win over those who are unwilling or suppressed, and then rebuild the ruling structure to ensure that he will always be the core of the rule.

From this guy, Zhang Cheng felt his growing ambition.

"King? I don't think so! What's more, a mere king who rules mortals is nothing in your eyes. Without your support, he will be swallowed by countless enemies in a short time." Ai Lance pursed his lips, not hiding his contempt for Kerwin.

"Mortal?" Zhang Cheng glanced at the young man out of the corner of his eye, and quickly shook his head slightly. "Don't underestimate mortals! You have to understand that when mortals' strength reaches a certain level, they can kill gods. What really determines the outcome is never a superior status, let alone bullshit fame, but power, absolute power .As long as you are strong enough to kill all opponents, even evil can become justice. But if you don’t have enough power, even if you occupy the commanding heights of morality and law, you can’t make a strong person pay the price. Power is truth, Power is justice, and power can give you everything."

"Understood! Don't worry, I won't let anyone surpass me. I will always be your most capable assistant." The young man bowed again and saluted.

"I hope so! You know I'm not a very patient person, and I don't have time to wait for you to grow up slowly. So, take my gift to Kerwin's side and help him defeat the coming powerful enemy. This is A dangerous trial, go and prove yourself."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng waved his hand lightly to signal the other party to back down.

"As you wish!"

Without saying a word, Allens turned around and disappeared at the corner of the corridor.
