Chapter 18: Calculating the accounts after autumn

Under the strong elasticity of Fort Worry-free Army, the chaos in Manhattan quickly passed.

More than 200,000 remaining soldiers from the Central Army and the Western Army were disarmed and supervised. In the coming days, these soldiers who survived the raid of the Iron Cavalry will head to the western border of Manhattan to fight the Burning Legion.

The Horn Division, the Barrier Division and the Guard Division became the defenders of Manhattan. Most of the Lord's Guards were stationed in the Philip Palace Group.

Although the highest officials of key departments such as the Ministry of Military Affairs, Government Affairs, and Finance have not changed, middle-level managers and lower-level staff have been replaced by people from the Northern Alliance or the Southern nobles.

The Manhattan government declared Manhattan tax exemption for three months to appease Manhattans who were frightened in the short war.

The Mask No. 4, Kerislan, who completed his mission, left the Wind Speech Division and returned to Fort Wuyou to become a captain in the Avant-garde Division.

Victor Don Juan divided the palace guards into three to protect Her Majesty Queen Scarlett, Her Highness Elizabeth and Her Highness Marilyn. He himself left Parker's Empire and disappeared.

Molièsil stayed in his door and focused on writing Cloros's biography.

The guild that made great efforts in this coup was rewarded with rich returns, the drawings of the whirlwind and the right to establish a branch in Fort Worry-free.

After Arthur re-entered the Duke of Hawke's mansion, his mansion suddenly became crowded. Nobles of all sizes flocked here and rushed to Arthur to show his loyalty.

As time passed, Manhattan gradually returned to peace. Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Arthur knew that he should understand the Bruce brother and sister. But before that, he had one more thing to do.

On March 7, the third day after the coup was successful, Arthur led a large number of troops to surround the Duke of Wiggins. The Wiggins family members tried to resist, but were soon subdued by the soldiers of Fort Worry Fort. In just ten minutes, the Duke of Wiggins was controlled by the troops of Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort Worry Fort W

"Duke of Wiggins, long time no see."

Arthur looked at Sukhoi with white hair and smiled, "You are still as charming as you."

"snort!"

Faced with Arthur's mockery, Sukhoi Wiggins only snorted with his nose, as if to express his disdain for Arthur. However, he didn't want his face to be as calm as he wanted.

Nine years ago, when Arthur first came to Manhattan, he was just a young boy who had to rely on Deka Kane's name to protect himself.

Nine years later, Arthur has become the strongest lord of the continent with 7.3 million people and 400,000 elite troops in his hands. The Yinglong Banner of Worry-free Castle has become an undefeated myth.

Nine years ago, he was full of energy and held great power. Even Cloros, who was known as the master of conspiracy, had to cooperate with him. At that time, in addition to the royal family, the Wiggins family was the largest.

Nine years later, what else would he have? The Wiggins family that fell apart? The nobles in the East of the Empire who had already planned to vote for his master? Or the Eastern Army that was as fond of the Eastern Army as the Central Army?

The tides rise and fall, and this is the only way to life.

"Duke Wiggins, I have to thank you even if I say it."

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "If you hadn't been merciful back then, I might not have been able to hold on to the moment when I entered the main crystal castle."

"That's Cloros' test you, you don't have to thank me."

Sukhoi said with a straight face, "If I had known today, I would have cut you with one knife."

Sukhoi said coldly, "Speak less nonsense, your purpose."

"You already have the answer, why bother asking again?"

Arthur sighed and said.

"The Wiggins family still has 200,000 soldiers of the Eastern Legion in their hands. Are you not afraid of them rebelling?"

Sukhoi said proudly.

"Is the Eastern Legion? It's really difficult. 150,000 ordinary soldiers and 50,000 spider shooters, the overall strength is at least equivalent to three Worry-free Fort Divisions."

Arthur's tone suddenly changed, full of mockery, "But the Eastern Legion is already the Eastern Legion of the Empire, no longer the Eastern Legion of the Wiggins family."

"What do you mean!"

Arthur's words suddenly made Sukhoi feel a sense of crisis, a sense of crisis that the edifice is about to collapse.

"Duke of Wiggins, you cannot make every soldier of the Eastern Legion loyal to the Wiggins family wholeheartedly. The way you control the Eastern Legion is nothing more than turning the middle and high-level officers of the Eastern Legion into members of the Wiggins family through means such as wining, controlling, bribing, threatening, etc., and then controlling the soldiers under them."

Arthur smiled again, smiling lightly, unfathomable, and making people feel cold in their hearts, "I have always been very curious. If all officers at the squadron leader level and above in the Eastern Legion died, then what would the Eastern Legion look like?"

"What did you do!"

Sukhoi's face changed drastically and he said loudly.

"It's nothing, it's just that the few secret troops of Wuyou Fort rely on the information of the Sky Eye to assassinate the officers of the Eastern Legion."

Arthur said lightly, "Then, another group of people will take over the Eastern Legion with Scarlett's warrant."

"you!"

Seeing that the last reliance was ruthlessly defeated, Sukhoi suddenly stretched out his arm and pointed directly at Arthur, as if he was going to say something, but in the end he could only turn into a helpless sigh.

The commander died overnight, and the soldiers of the Eastern Legion were naturally extremely confused. If someone took over them at this time with the order of Queen Scarlett, the soldiers would definitely not have rejected them.

If you spread gold coins to win people's hearts and bring a group of small and elite troops to suppress the resistance of a few stubborn people, it would be a foregone conclusion that the Eastern Legion changed its surname.

"You won."

After a long time, Sukhoi said with a decadent look on his face.

"Duke Wiggins, arrest you for treason under the order of Her Majesty the Queen!"

Arthur took out an order, said expressionlessly, then turned his body and said, "Duke of Wiggins, please."

A few days later, Duke Hawk's Mansion.

"Sir, a total of 362 nobles have been arrested in the past few days, one duke, thirteen marquis, thirteen Counts, one hundred and three viscounts, and two hundred and six barons. Most of these nobles are vassals of the Wiggins family, and a small number are nobles personally identified by the adults who are very close to the Cameron family."

Nietzsche stood at the table holding a stack of documents and said, "One hundred and ninety-six of the Wiggins family have already handed over the letter of loyalty, and seventy-one are still persistent. Please tell me if you deal with these stubborn guys."

"Deprive the nobles of their titles and take back all territory."

While talking, Arthur's eyes never left the map on the table.

Arthur's words were equivalent to demoting the nobles to civilians. For the nobles who were above the nobles, falling from the clouds was probably the most severe punishment.

At that time, without Arthur's action, the enemies of the nobles would "serve" them very "comfortable".

"clear."

Nietzsche nodded and said, "How to deal with the vassal of the Cameron family?"

"Did the Cameron family react?"

Arthur's still didn't look up.

"The former patriarch of the Cameron family, Byron Gel's father ordered the retrieval of all the family elders."

Nietzsche said, "In addition, an elder of Cameron secretly visited Basti on the evening of the 10th."

“The status of Byrongele has not changed?”

Arthur finally raised his head and asked.

"Yes."

Nietzsche replied.

"First, continue to expand the power of the Turtle Dove family."

"Second, arrest the second group of nobles on the list."

"Third, spread the news that Byron Gel was trying to assassinate me."

Arthur thought for a while and issued three orders in a row.

"As for orders, sir."

Nietzsche responded.

"How about the Eastern Legion?"

Arthur asked.

“It’s quite stable.”

Nietzsche said, "The few commotions were also suppressed by the guild army."

The eight divisions brought to Manhattan to defend Manhattan and monitored more than 200,000 defeated soldiers outside the city were already in a shortage, and it was impossible to divide the troops and control the Eastern Legion.

Fortunately, Arthur also has guilds and divine troops to mobilize.

As soon as the assassination of the God of Death's Eyes unfolded, the 20,000 guild troops that had already lurked in the north of the empire immediately entered the territory of the Wiggins family, and a group of 100 people helped officials from Manhattan take over the Eastern Legion.

"Where is the Central Army?"

Arthur asked again.

"It's very calm. The soldiers have no resistance."

Nietzsche replied.

"Where is the Northern Legion?"

Arthur asked for the third time.

"After the adults gave the share of the local delegation to the military delegation, the morale of the Northern Legion increased greatly. We have been discussing privately how to let you replace Her Majesty the Queen and become the supreme ruler of Parker."

Nietzsche said with a smile.

"Very good. I can free up my hands to deal with the Bruce brothers and sisters."
