Wind Howl City seemed more and more quiet under the night light.
After a day of fighting, all the citizens cowered and hid in their homes, closing the doors and windows tightly, and dared not come out no matter what.
However, the activities of some daring moles and gangsters happened to hit Wu Ming's muzzle.
After occupying Wind Howl City, he ordered the entire city to be under military control, and there was a curfew at night. Once any suspicious person was caught, he could be shot dead at most!
Under such high pressure, the entire Wind Howl City seemed to be very calm, and seemed to have surrendered to him.
In a huge villa not far from Howling Castle.
"Wuthering City is the ruling core of Fengying Plain, there should be tens of thousands of civilians inside, right?"
Wu Ming stood on the balcony, holding a transparent glass, and the blood-like red wine inside was rippling with regular swirls.
"However, instead of fighting to the death for the Earl of Blue Mountain, it succumbed to the rebels from the highlands, and now... it has fallen into my hands..."
He sighed low.
"Actually, the permanent population of this city has exceeded one hundred thousand..."
The Lady Tana was wearing pajamas, showing off her slender and fit figure indifferently, exercising from her previous mercenary career: "The only ones who really fight for the lord are their own private soldiers!"
"Also, 10,000 newly recruited farmers are no match for 1,000 trained soldiers!"
This knowledge is quite good.
Wu Ming looked at this woman in amazement, not expecting her to have such insight.
Perhaps the nobles have monopolized the inheritance of knowledge and power, but some elites among the common people will still strive to seize an opportunity and climb up at all costs.
Although most of them failed, those who succeeded in the end must be the elite among the elite, and any mature ruling regime would not reject them.
"Very well, Tana... would you like to be my administrator?"
Wu Ming took a sip of red wine and asked casually.
"It is my honor, my lord!"
Tana, the shrewd black widow, immediately knelt down: "I will offer you my loyalty, and everything else!"
It is not a disgrace for the minor nobles to serve the great nobles and serve as their officials.
However, if Wu Ming was still the same knight as before, it would sound shocking. Even if he became a baron now, he still has some shortcomings, but Tana knows very well that William will definitely not be satisfied with his current title.
Under the turmoil in Fengying Plain, opportunities are everywhere here!
"Then, my administrator, do you think this city is already under my absolute control..."
Wu Ming asked Tana to get up, and grabbed it forward with his right hand, as if grasping the whole city, and asked solemnly.
"With all due respect, no!"
Tana took a deep breath: "Your army only rules the castle during the day, but cannot control the city at night!"
"Under the light, there must be darkness!"
Wu Ming smiled slightly, thinking of his last trip to the black market.
In Wind Howling City, apart from the Earl of Blue Mountain, there is also a huge dark world.
The huge underground cave and the cobweb-like channel system extending in all directions really shocked him.
"My lord must be well aware that Howling Castle during the day isn't everything..."
Tana said in a confused tone: "At night, in stinky gutters, in corners where the sun can't reach, and in the shadows, there are a large number of black market merchants, slave owners, and dark mercenaries... They may They are as humble and invisible as bedbugs, but if you harm their interests, they will definitely fight back!"
"Am I afraid of rats in stinky gutters?"
Wu Ming smiled coldly: "Fengying Plain will eventually be under the rule of our blue blood!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Tana blushed a little on her face: "Facing your army, any dark mercenary has no choice but to catch them without a fight, but their battlefields are never under the sun, and the night is their best cover!"
"Very well, it looks like you know this very well!"
Wu Ming nodded with satisfaction: "I'll appoint you as the sheriff of Wind Howl City first. The first thing you need to do is to recruit some elite soldiers, and then recruit a group of assassins, thieves, and oath-breaking knights to form the night watchman!"
He added: "To subdue these mice, we must let them see our power! In this respect, it is easier to use darkness to deal with darkness!"
Tana was originally the head of the wolf heart mercenary group. She is a character in the gray area and has an understanding of the dark world, so she is a very suitable candidate.
And there must be darkness under the sun, and Wu Ming has no intention of completely uprooting the filth from Wind Howling City.
The black market can continue to exist, but every copper coin traded must be taxed for him! So that he has enough support to carry on the war!
"Night watchman?"
This is equivalent to the meaning of the dark elite army. Unexpectedly, Wu Ming trusted her so much and directly handed over the important task to her, which made Tana's eyes look strange.
"Yes, Night Watchmen, your duty is to guard Wind Howl City in the dark!"
The corner of Wu Ming's mouth curled into a subtle arc: "In the future, I will also form a 'Watchmen' organization. Members must master extraordinary powers to fight against thaumaturges, wizards, and cursers of other strengths..."
"I see!"
Tana took a deep breath and bowed back.
But Wu Ming was stunned, and suddenly walked into the hall and called a servant: "Go to the gate of the villa and invite my guests in!"
"guest?"
The servant was startled, and then quickly ran outside the door.
Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of a group of guards, a mysterious man wearing a black cloak and a hood that completely covered his face was already waiting there.
'Not a nobleman, how did that pass the curfew? '
The servant felt a little strange, but naturally he was not allowed to ask about this kind of thing, so he immediately bowed and said, "Master Baron invites this guest in!"
The soldier next to him was stunned for a moment, and immediately withdrew his weapon.
"Thanks!"
The man in black walked in, exhaling like orchids, his voice was soft and sweet, like a lark in spring.
"Ah... please follow me, the baron is waiting for you in the living room!"
The male servant was startled, and a blush appeared on his face, like a shy big boy.
He was no longer a boy, but this black-robed woman seemed to have a strange charm that made it difficult for him to control himself.
After bringing the lady to the living room, he brought milk tea, pastries, and red wine, slowly bowed and retreated, and slowly closed the door. The moment the door was closed, he couldn't hide his disappointment.
bang!
The door was closed, and Wu Ming looked at the black-robed woman in front of him, with a look of interest in his eyes: "A witch?!"
Although he has a Karitan, the other party only possesses the inheritance of knowledge, but has not yet mastered the power of spells. Of course, this time she did not go out with the army, but performed a mysterious ceremony in the Carlos Territory. After a while, Wu Ming will be able to harvest a witch from the voodoo sect.
But now, a real witch has come before Wu Ming.
His keen perception made him very clearly aware of the dark power on the other party, which was higher than that of ordinary knights, and even comparable to that of the ogre wizard last time.
Of course, Wu Ming at this time is not what it used to be.
The inheritance of the power of all peoples has given him extraordinary physical and magical abilities. If he confronts an ogre wizard, one hand is enough to cut off the opponent's dirty head.
At this time, the witch, after seeing Wu Ming, her delicate body shrouded in the cloak also trembled.
From the first moment she saw the other party, she was shocked by the full glory of Baron William.
That golden light, full of vastness and majesty, seemed to form a vortex, devouring everything around her, and the powerful extraordinary power made her feel shaken and in a trance.
"Yes, my lord!"
After a long time, the witch answered in a low voice, admitting her identity.
"Can you break through the curfew and find me exactly... It seems that your energy is not small. Who do you represent? The group of black market merchants in the cave below?"
Wu Ming sat on the sofa, stretched out his right hand slightly: "Please!"
"whee!"
The witch didn't know what she was thinking of, and she let out a smile that could charm all living beings, and with a part of her white jade-like right hand, the hood and cloak slipped off.
What appeared in front of Wu Ming was a mature, plump, beautiful woman who seemed to be around thirty years old.
She has long purple wavy hair, fair and delicate skin, as smooth as milk, tall and well-proportioned, and every inch is full of unique charm that seduces men.
Wu Ming's expression froze suddenly.
The beauty of this witch is only one aspect, and the most important aspect is this woman, he has seen it before!
"You are... the wife of the Earl of Blue Mountain, Lady Emerys!?"
The Earl of Blue Mountain's first wife died of dystocia during childbirth, and his second wife died of an infectious disease. Immediately afterwards, he married this Lady Emerys, who was fifteen years younger than him.
Wu Ming had attended the banquet of the Earl of Blue Mountain during the knighthood and several New Year celebrations, so he had naturally met this lady several times.
It's just that at that time, the other party was no different from ordinary noble ladies, and she hid herself very well.
This witch obviously mastered some kind of hidden secret method. At that time, Wu Ming hadn't obtained the power of the people, so he didn't notice it for a while, and was fooled by the other party.
But now, although Emmaris's appearance has not changed in the slightest, her temperament has changed drastically in every move, and she looks like a different person in an instant.
However, no matter how the other party's temperament changes, Wu Ming believes in his own feelings.
It turns out that Lord Earl of Blue Mountain actually married a witch!
Wu Ming felt that many doubts in his heart were solved at once.
