Cold wind city, the city lord's mansion, the night is heavy.

After the long-legged family was expelled, the Arad family occupied this luxurious and spacious mansion.

There are magic fountains surging day and night, arcane gardens that are evergreen in all seasons, and architectural communities that are arranged in a staggered manner. As for the Temple of the Frost Goddess, the Temple of Winter is even more brilliant and grand, and is one of the best in the entire Northland.

In order to show the new atmosphere of the new power, the mansion buildings were also hung with dazzling lanterns, and the courtyard corridor was newly repaired, making it even more dazzling after nightfall, adding a new view to the city.

As soon as you look up from the dilapidated house in the craftsman area in the city, you can see the shining lights on the spire of the mansion in the north of the city. All the civilians and nobles in the city feel how much does it cost?

Living in the city lord's mansion did not improve the status of the Arad family. The gold coins flowing out decorated the facade of the mansion, but failed to improve the family's strength.

For half a year, Old Arad has felt distressed for a few seconds before closing his eyes before going to bed, and at the same time, he also looked back on what he gained throughout the day?

Actually, I have no gains, I just want to argue with other powerful people.

The strength of Lehman and Minos is not weaker than that of the Arad family. In addition, a large number of low-class nobles clamored to divide power and spoils, which made people feel upset every day.

Every day when he wakes up, what Old Arad thinks is to eliminate which opponent to shock other powerful people. In order to maintain the stability of the rule, the family wizards and knights keep secretly eliminating dissidents.

The little nobles in the city suffered heavy casualties, but the dissidents did not decrease, but instead increased. The situation of the Arad family did not get better and worse, but instead became worse and worse.

The family's power is constantly being consumed.

If you have a little less each time, the number of times will accumulate considerable.

It was just because the little nobles who were removed failed to help the Arad family. Their remnants fled in scattered and disappeared.

Until one day, news came that the emerging "Rich and Strong Leader" outside the city formed a light cavalry of 100 people. Most of its members were the defeated noble knights in front of the Hanfeng City.

This news made Old Arad even more sleepy day and night, and restless.

The ruling system of another world is very simple, just a dual structure of lords and subordinates.

This is the result of low agricultural output and limited management capabilities, and cannot afford to support too many real "people". The lowest-level "people" are at least a "knight" title, controlling a village and having a lot of privileges higher than ordinary people.

As for the civilians and untouchables below, they have no rights, and they have no property, so they are no more advanced than animals.

Zhou Qingfeng expanded this ruling system when he was in the Black Forest, and by integrating the original human settlements and foreign trade, he allowed more residents in his territory to become real "people".

To make a name for official accent, this is called "improving production relations and liberating productivity."

In order to restore the country, Inisa took away fifty adventurers equivalent to "knights" from Harmony Village at one time, two or three hundred militias.

This reflects the strong mobilization ability under the new system.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't realize that he had a household registration, a house number, a territory and a city planning special. But this system has a strong management effect.

Old Arad couldn't open his account and find the home of a farmer in his territory. He couldn't know how many strong men there were in the farmer's family and how much food could be collected.

The old-style lords didn't even know where their lords lived. Their way of collecting supplies was particularly barbaric, with a small number of attendants or knights they could control, suddenly surrounded the villages in the territory, and then

robbery!

Such low management methods are destined to not collect much population and materials, and they cannot afford to support real "people". In the final analysis, the ruling institution is too simple.

Old Arad was not afraid of the "rich and strong leader" with thousands of civilian populations. In his understanding, they were just talking animals.

But more than one hundred people are different.

Armed the more than 100 people into cavalry teams, making them completely out of business and only for battle, Old Arad was even more restless.

This represents sufficient financial and material resources, and more importantly, powerful power and status.

The Changle Family in Hanfeng City only had more than 400 people in command of the number of people. These people also belonged to a bunch of different small lords, large and small. They were directly affiliated with the Changle Family.

The strength of the "Fuqiang Leader" forces the remaining powerful people in the city to unite. If they do not join forces, sooner or later, Hanfeng City will be swallowed up by the "Fuqiang Leader".

Old Arad was worried. He had reached an agreement with other families in recent days, and everyone joined forces to fight against Victor Hugo's rapid expansion.

This takes time, and the mobilization of the old lords was so slow. It was a big trouble just to urge the gathering of knights in the territory.

Some people come today and some people come tomorrow. Some people say they have no food to store, so they have to give them some food first. Some people say they are short of money and have to ask for some money first. In a week, a slave will be sent to repay the situation that they are sick and cannot come.

Old Arad was anxious during the day, hoping that his opponent's development would slow down before he was ready. He was worried at night, afraid that he would be really ready, and his opponent's strength had reached a crushing trend.

Then I can only slow down.

However, what you are afraid of will come from.

Old Arad had insomnia at night and finally felt sleepy after drinking a drink. The servant stumbled to report: "Master, the soldiers of the Inspection Office are blocking the road, and even our city lord's mansion has been blocked."

What?

For the sake of city finance, Old Arad had to pull Hugo into the city council as deputy speaker. The deputy speaker was also very capable and quickly collected a large amount of taxes to the council.

For the sake of money, Hugo wants to rebuild the Inspection Office, and the powerful people in the city have no objection.

After all, someone always needs to provide public services, otherwise cleaning up garbage can make people feel a headache. But in just over a month, soldiers from the Patrol Office dared to block the noble area?

Why?

The servant said with a sad face: "It is said that someone has attacked the Patrol Office and they are blocking the entire city to catch assassins."

There are bad reasons.

At this time, the entire city was blocked and the noble areas were blocked. Isn’t it clear that the activities of the powerful were restricted?

Old Arad made a brain teaser and tried to speculate on Hugo's true intention. Just as he wanted to send someone to learn more, someone fell into the courtyard of the lord's mansion with flying skills, stood outside and shouted.

"His Excellency Arad, Hugo attacked the Wizard Tower. He took action, he took action first!"

The guards in the mansion thought that foreign enemies were attacking, but they were stunned when they heard the shouts.

The person who came was Piero, the chief changer of the wizard group. He yelled anxiously without the wizard's demeanor, which alarmed the entire city lord's mansion.

Old Arad was waiting for news in the mansion, and his scalp was numb when he heard Piero's shout. He hurried to the courtyard, but saw more wizards falling from the sky. Mobile::

The wizards who usually sit upright and pay attention to elegance and calmness all look like fleeing mice. After landing, they are anxious and scolded, and are in a mess.

All kinds of sounds poured into Old Arad's ears, making the entire city lord's mansion panic.

"Stop quarrel, what exactly happened?"

Old Arad yelled, but saw that his mansion became like a vegetable market, and anyone could go in and out. Lehman and the patriarch of the Minos family brought a lot of family armed forces to him.

"Alad, you idiot. You shouldn't have brought the black-hearted Hugo into the city. He is now going to attack us. He has captured the Tower of Wizards."

"Alad, come up with an idea. What should we do?"

Old Arad instantly stood up with his hair, his heart was cold, and all the little wine he had just drunk turned into cold sweat. The heads in front of him were moving, and a group of people were about to think of an idea.

If he had such prestige on weekdays, Old Arad would wake up in a smile in his dream. But then he asked anxiously: "What does it mean? How could Victor Hugo capture the Wizard Tower?"

The Wizard's Tower is not a pigpen.

Even in a pigpen, there are dozens or hundreds of pigs in the pen. How can it be captured casually?

As soon as the question started, Rao, the chief of the Simplified Energy, fell from the air and fell heavily to the ground. Blood flowed from his back and shouted with hatred:

"Alad, hurry up and summon people from the city. Hugo wants to control Hanfeng City, he has already taken down the Wizard Tower and will definitely not let us go."

Looking at the heads of several wizard groups in front of him, Old Arad felt dizzy and what the hell was doing? Are you really all pigs?
