"Bang." The gorgeous courtyard door was kicked open, and a group of soldiers wearing Cassano Sheriff's Department uniforms rushed in waving weapons. A fierce dog guarding the door roared loudly at the group of uninvited guests. However, the leader of this group of soldiers casually struck without mercy, and the head of the bulldog was dropped on the ground. Blood sprayed everywhere, causing a maid passing nearby to scream in horror.
"Your Majesty has an order, and anyone who dares to resist will be executed on the spot." The leader seemed not to care about the dog blood splattered on his body, and gave the order loudly, while the other soldiers following him agreed in unison without hesitation. He raised his weapon and rushed into the courtyard,
In a short time, the entire courtyard was completely controlled by this group of soldiers. A fat man was tied up and pushed out. The man shouted angrily: "You bastards." , I am Arad’s uncle, you actually dare to rush into my house and catch me, you don’t even want to live anymore.”
"Humph, I'm going to arrest you." A cold female voice came from outside the gate, followed by a group of people who walked in quickly. The woman in the lead, with a pretty face and voluptuous figure, was none other than Sophie, the former landlady of Mori Town. , the magic mask on her face had long been thrown away at this time. Now she has become an important figure in the Cassano system. She is not afraid of the pursuit of the original killer organization at all.
"It's you, you bastard." The obese man immediately yelled after seeing Sophie: "Aside from seducing men in the vagina, what else do you do? Are you itching down there again, so you asked me to satisfy you?" you."
Sophie was not affected by the fat man's dirty words at all. She always had a faint smile on her lips, her bright red lips were slightly opened, and she said to the subordinate behind her: "Let him scold slowly, you remember It just depends on how many words he cursed in total. When you get back, cut him a piece of meat for every curse word he curses. If the number is wrong, then double the amount will be counted on you."
The subordinates behind Sophie stood in awe, and then made a gesture to the soldiers to take the obese man away. Seeing that his abuse was ineffective, the man shouted loudly: "I am Adela's uncle, you are actually If you dare to arrest me, wait until I tell Adela and let her kill you all, and Ryan, he will not let you go."
The fat man's words were completely deaf to the soldiers wearing Public Security Department uniforms around him. Originally, according to the arrest process, they should put something into the fat man's mouth, but after Sophie's words earlier, this The group of soldiers just suppressed the fat man and walked out, letting him curse at will.
The remaining soldiers began to search the yard carefully, and soon they made new discoveries. They moved heavy boxes one after another from a small cellar in the backyard, and placed them all in Su In front of Fei, another of Sophie's subordinates immediately stepped forward to pry open one of the boxes with the dagger in his hand.
As soon as the lid of the box was opened, a box of gold coins neatly arranged inside was immediately revealed, and the entire yard was instantly covered with a layer of golden color. The subordinate kicked the box over and pried open the second one. A box, but this time it didn’t contain gold coins, but all kinds of precious jewelry.
The subordinate wanted to continue testing, so Sophie waved her hand casually and said, "No, take them all away." After Sophie said this, she turned to the other subordinates behind her and said, "You guys will take the people separately. I will give you a list to arrest people, and those who dare to resist will not be spared alive."
"As ordered." Sophie's subordinates shouted in unison, and then they left separately.
Sophie breathed a sigh of relief. The most troublesome thing today was to capture Adela's uncle. Although he and Adela were quite estranged by blood, he was still a blood relative of the Salanaar family after all, but there were After receiving Ryan's personal order, Sophie felt no psychological pressure. What's more, before she set off, Adela had talked to her privately for a few words and hinted that Sophie herself was Ryan's woman. Naturally, he respects Ryan’s orders,
With these two relationships, plus a large amount of evidence that this fat guy participated in the rebellion and was one of the primary people who played a major role in it, Sophie believed that it was impossible for him to come back alive this time, so she personally Lead the team to his mansion in Crimson Castle,
Soon, arrest operations like this were carried out throughout Cassano. In order to cover up, all arrests were carried out in the name of the Public Security Department. In this series of arrests, more than 50 nobles of Cassano were arrested. were taken away by the Shadow Shang members who broke in, and a dozen merchants from chambers of commerce or mercenary group mercenaries from different parts of the mainland were also targeted for arrest.
Not all of this group of nobles, businessmen and mercenaries were captured without mercy. More than half of them had varying degrees of resistance. Unfortunately, what they faced was Sophie's carefully selected shadows from the entire Cassano army. Members of Shang, and in order to ensure the success of this capture, Ryan also dispatched all of Barbara's Death Scythe magic army. With the help of this group of magic apprentices, ordinary mercenary warriors were attacked by various magics without any resistance. Knocked over, a few good guys were directly turned into charcoal by Barbara with fireballs.
However, no matter how deceptive it is, it is impossible for such a large-scale arrest to not arouse everyone's discussion. Therefore, in Sophie's plan, Ryan, Vivian, and Adela came forward separately to arrest the entire Cassano. The locations of the three families were to appease everyone, and Ryan was directly stationed at the headquarters of the Seremis family, which had the most arrested people.
Carter, the patriarch of the Seremis family, and his son Eli, who is a squadron leader in the Sheriff's Department, were not involved in the Cassano rebellion case, so after seeing the solid evidence presented by Ryan, both of them were quite sensible. chose to obey Ryan, so the smoothest part of the entire capture operation was the part that was carried out in the territory of the original Seremis family.
Since the entire arrest operation was quite sudden, and the entire Cassano's army was on standby under Lane's secret order, by the time the Southern Liberal Alliance knew the news, the arrest operation had been completed, and most of them belonged to Cassano's The nobles had been publicly declared guilty and hanged in public. Without internal support, the Free Alliance was completely helpless.
After Ryan unified Cassano, the people at the bottom who benefited the most were the civilians at the bottom. They no longer had to bear the threat of war, nor did heavy taxes and other issues affect their livelihoods. They had their own fields to farm, and they could also choose to do business and make money through foreign trade. , so the days are getting better and better, and now I suddenly heard that the nobles who had oppressed them before wanted to restore the entire Cassano to its previous appearance. These civilians were naturally unwilling, so the entire Cassano was not at all because of this time The rebellion case was affected too much, but because after arresting this group of corrupt nobles, they obtained their property and land, which made Cassano's finances richer, so much so that several Cassano financial officials secretly While drinking here, I hope to do something like this a few times, so that I don’t need any support from the Imperial City at all.
Seeing that a storm that might have affected Ryan's rule in Cassano was eliminated, Ryan had a deeper understanding of what Sophie said that day. He finally discovered that he had some deviations in handling Cassano's government affairs before. So Ryan changed his approach,
In the past, Ryan would hardly attend the twice-monthly council meetings, but now he has begun to appear frequently. At each meeting, he will make some arrangements for Cassano's government affairs, personnel, and finance, and he will also visit the entire office from time to time. Cassano, accepting the heartfelt cheers from his people,
However, in reality, Ryan was not too involved in Cassano's political situation. He distributed power as always, and also slightly expanded the original Cassano Council and added several new members. , which includes Eli, Carter’s son from the Seremis family organization,
Ryan's various actions soon allowed him to regain control of the entire Cassano situation, and all he had to do was focus on managing Cassano while specializing in magic. With Sophie's With the help of Shadow Shang, Ryan can easily know all kinds of news about Cassano. For those trivial matters, Ryan often laughs it off, but once an outside force wants to overthrow Cassano's rule, Ryan will not hesitate. Let Sophie launch an attack and directly cut off the black hand extending into the Cassano Plain.
Unknowingly, Ryan got used to his current life, and he suddenly discovered that it was not difficult to govern a territory. After having his powerful power to deter him, he could continue to arrange daily affairs, as long as he asked about the finances from time to time. and personnel, and then hold on to the army tightly, and rely on a spy force that is absolutely loyal to you to inquire about all kinds of information to verify whether everything you see on a daily basis is true.
When everything was on track, Lane spent much less time and energy on government affairs. This gave Lane more time to tutor Barbara and her magic army, while Lane himself spent every day researching He has spent a long time in magic, and his behavior also greatly inspired the magic apprentices of the Death Scythe Magic Legion. Imagine that even their teacher, a powerful magician, has to study magic tirelessly every day. , then what reason do they have for not working hard
Now Barbara can skillfully cast level 3 magic under Ryan's words and deeds. Of course, Barbara and Ryan's previous experiences are similar. She only chooses 2 or 3 types of magic for each level to practice repeatedly, and It's not like the students in the magic academy are as comprehensive as they are.
Counting it all, it has been less than a year since the magic apprentices of the entire Death Scythe Mercenary Group first came into contact with magic, and now more than 70% of the 500 members can use level 2 magic. And outstanding people like Barbara who can use level 3 magic are close to 10%. If this is revealed, it will definitely shock the entire magic guild and magicians.
At Hamfest's request, Ryan agreed to personally teach 500 magic apprentices from the Imperial Capital Magic Guild. After all, Hamfest and the Imperial Capital Magic Guild helped him a lot, but at the same time, he also taught throughout Cassano. Once again, young people with magic qualifications were selected and enriched into the Death Scythe Magic Legion. So now Barbara has become the leader of nearly 2,000 magic academies with great potential, even though she is less than 16 years old. Years old, but no one will deny her potential in the future, just like no one denies Cassano's potential.
