Chapter 401: Prepare to be king

Views:

In the 218th year of the New Caesar's Calendar, February 26th, Shawan Harbor.

This city, which was damaged in the flames of war, has now become a large construction site.

In fact, not just Sandy Bay Harbor, but the entire Schindler is in the process of rebuilding. Among them, the most important thing is the South.

After Oze left and handed over the authority of the governor of Beast Blood Castle to Dane, no matter in name or in reality, Dane was the out-and-out master of Schindler.

Of course, the current Schindler is at his weakest overall strength.

After a high-intensity war that lasted for nearly three months at the end of 217, especially the crazy behavior of Governor Conley, the population of Schindler dropped sharply.

The population of the whole territory lost more than 10% in this tragic war.

Many cities were destroyed and a large number of villages were destroyed. Dane, the new 'King', the next task is very arduous and difficult.

He wants to be king, to be king in all seriousness, not as a governor in Schindler, which means nothing at all.

He wanted to pull the land out of the swamp of the century-old war, officially turn Schindler into a country, and even—

Crowned as 'King Hindler'.

In fact, there is a chance for him to be king now, but the timing is not enough.

The king, the king, can't completely control this land in his hands, what is the king called

The war is over, Conley is finished, and Ou Ze is gone, but it doesn't mean that Schindler is safe.

First of all, in front of him, there are several major matters to be settled.

The first thing is the work of Beast Blood Castle.

Ou Ze left too hastily, he left Beast Blood Castle to obey Dane's order, this is right. However, although Ou Ze's majesty as a leader in the forces of Beast Blood Castle is quite sufficient, his decision was too urgent, too unpredictable, and too overwhelming.

Back then, when Dane first heard the news, he even felt more shocked than happy, let alone Ou Ze's subordinates.

Some people are willing to obey Dane's order, after all, this is Governor Oze's decision; some people find it difficult to accept that another governor appeared to lead them; and some people are simply ambitious and have some special ideas.

For these characters, Dane will definitely treat them differently. Those who are willing to obey orders must be treated well. This is the foundation of Dane's control of Beast Blood Castle. The vacillators or the centrists need to be fought for. As for the ambitious faction, they will definitely be hit hard.

However, the first one is alright, but it is not so easy to distinguish between the vacillating faction and the ambitious faction.

In fact, if you can distinguish them, your work will be much easier. After all, Dane has a formal appointment from Ouze, so he has advantages both in name and legal system. As long as he can guarantee the interests of others and at the same time demonstrate his ability as a new lord, he can get support relatively easily.

The ambitious faction was the group that gave Dane the most headaches. He didn't want to set off another civil war just because he had to deal with these guys just after the war ended, that would not be good. Relatively speaking, Dane still hopes to solve this problem through political means.

The second thing is the elimination of demons.

Thanks to Conley's madness, despite his defeat, he still left a lot of demons in Hindlare. Small groups of these demons wandered around the wasteland, harassing villages from time to time, which brought great trouble to the reconstruction of this devastated land.

Not to mention other places, just the southern territory, several farms around the White Wolf Fort, were attacked by a small number of demons during the reconstruction.

Most of these demons ran out after the White Wolf Fort was defeated, and were not cleaned up in time. They are few in number, but their impact is not small. Not to mention the huge delay in the reconstruction of the farm, there was even a village where more than a dozen guards and more than forty farmers were slaughtered.

This is even the case around White Wolf Castle, let alone places farther away. From Cinderella to the south, until Dane's territory, there are traces of demons appearing everywhere, which is annoying.

Moreover, a very important point lies in the Lost City.

The Lost City was attacked by a large number of out-of-control demons at that time. They held on for almost a month, and finally the city gate was broken and the city was ruined. The largest city in the north in the past has become a devil's lair after being captured by tens of thousands of demons.

Dane wants to become the king of Schindler, these demons are all things that must be wiped out. Otherwise, their existence will greatly interfere with the construction of towns.

The third thing is Schindler's purge.

Now, he is the nominal supreme leader of Schindler. At the same time, Beast Blood Castle, which was supposed to be in the most powerful position, has also become Dane's territory under Oze's order—even though he has not yet Be able to completely subdue the Beast Blood Fort. However, this does not mean that there are no other forces in Schindler.

First of all, Schindler still has some small warlords.

Some warlords are supporters of Kangli, and some are supporters of Ou Ze. But without exception, these people bowed their heads to the forces of Dane and Oze after the war ended.

But the problem is that Dane wants to be a real King Schindler, not a warlord leader. He wants to establish a real country here, how could the existence of 'warlords' be tolerated

Regardless of whether these warlords are obedient or not, Dane does not intend to keep them. Those who are willing to hand over military power, that is easy to say, don't plan to pursue it too much when they go to Dane as a rich man. He is determined to resolutely ban those who are disobedient.

The fourth thing is the reconstruction of White Wolf Fort and Shawan Harbor.

It takes self-strengthening to strike iron, if you don't restore the strength of Schindler's southern territory as soon as possible, how can you find the strength to settle other things

Whether it's conquering Beast Blood Fort, cleaning up demons, or suppressing warlords, Dane needs to show his true strength. After fighting a big battle, his army suffered a lot of losses, and his territory was in disarray after being baptized by the flames of war. If he did not recover his strength as soon as possible, many tasks would be impossible to carry out.

This matter is the basis for dealing with other issues, and it is also a truly dignified and righteous way.

In the past two months, Dane has been sitting in White Wolf Castle, and has been running between White Wolf Castle, Comilla and Shahaiwan Port, trying his best to recover his vitality as soon as possible.
