Li Xiang stared at the puddle in front of him speechlessly, feeling a little dizzy.
"Is this the lord?"
"That's what the prisoners said." General Xiao Lei took a language knowledge capsule to make it easier to report the situation.
Lord Brune did not die in the first round of concentrated fire, but caused dozens of casualties in the subsequent capture, and was shattered by two companies clearing away magic power.
He didn't know what race it was, or whether it was human. Even if it was broken into pieces, it didn't die. There was a lump of flesh with three tentacle legs that slipped out of the grass. It was accidentally stepped on by the soldiers who came closer to check, and followed the blood trail. Confirm with the slime that it belongs to the lord.
Li Xiang had just arrived, bringing a battalion with three freight trains, but he didn't expect that she wouldn't be needed.
"How's it going in town?"
"I selected some of the prisoners who were willing to cooperate and went into the city to deliver the news. Our people haven't gone in yet. Many people have escaped in the past few days and were temporarily placed there. It may be chaotic inside." General Xiaolei pointed out Pointing to the southeast of the railway station, there are many small tents made of coarse cloth.
Li Xiang was inhumane and said: "Just kill all those who resist. There is no need to be so cautious."
"Yes, I just want to wait for the support to arrive so that fewer soldiers will die."
Li Xiang nodded. He was right to think so. There would naturally be stronger people in the support force to deal with the die-hards. Ordinary soldiers who relied heavily on magic guns would have a hard time controlling the casualty rate in street fighting, and they would not have very good results. .
"Okay, you go back and deal with the situation in the north first, and I'll finish it here."
"yes."
General Xiao Lei withdrew with his staff and corps guard platoon, and Li Xiang led the fourth, fifth and eighth battalions of the Blade Corps to deal with Kafur's remaining matters.
In addition to the Eighth Battalion, Li Xiang also came with about 20 people from the Inner Guards, including Akeem.
Akeem's average attributes are now around ninety, while the attributes of the rest of the ordinary Inner Guards are between fifty and sixty. Li Xiang is only responsible for sitting in charge this time, and the Inner Guards are mainly responsible for dealing with the die-hards.
It's a bit overstepping my authority, but in order to test how well I can complete the task of clearing the city, it is still necessary to do it once.
Although there were more people, it was actually a blessing for the Kafur people that Li Xiang did not take action.
Unlike Li Xiang, who can only remain well-behaved in front of one person but actually has great human flaws, Akeem became an accomplice of the bandits when he was almost an adult. Although he is not innocent, he cannot kill hundreds or even thousands with his own hands. People are indifferent.
Akeem didn't take care of other people in the city. He occupied the already messy lord's mansion at night and planted seeds inside.
The rule of the dead ghost Lord Brun made the people in the city miserable. Not to mention the common people, even those from better families were often extorted for money for various reasons.
Buren itself probably has some self-awareness. Its lord's palace was built into a small city within a city, with its own city wall and a total area of about one hectare.
When Akeem came, the city wall had already been captured by the people inside, and almost all the property inside was looted.
I caught a few thieves and hung them on the small city gate tower as a warning, and then started planting seeds.
Next, a few people were left to look after the saplings, while the rest were divided into groups of five and patrolled the city in three groups to deal with rapes, home invasions, and murders.
Of course, the three groups of people couldn't do much, but because they were stronger, they killed some guys who seemed to have some kind of occupation, and their criminal behavior of taking advantage of the situation has been restrained, but of course they are still far from extinct.
The focus remains outside the city.
People transferred from New City and Red Rock City began to be responsible for the registration work of citizens outside the city. When the process was established, they escorted a group of people into the Lord's Mansion and started the registration work in the city. The newly arrived Eighth Battalion, which was still fully staffed, was also temporarily stationed in the inner city. , undertake defensive tasks.
Akeem and his party put up notices in the city.
The demands are still the same, including the abolition of slavery, the resumption of non-agricultural and construction land for public use, and those who have objections to appeal to the municipal government, etc.
Although there are a lot of criminals here, perhaps because Brun's rule is relatively "peaceful", the locals are generally more cooperative than Red Rock City.
After asking Li Xiang for advice, Akeem did not add any extraneous matters and postponed the pursuit of various murderers to complete the registration and settlement work first.
Planting trees first is also for settlement. The centralized treatment and fermentation of domestic sewage will take a certain amount of time. However, using the nutrient reserves of the soil itself will not be a big problem to prevent citizens from starving to death during military control.
There were some small commotions in the middle, but they did not develop. In the most serious one, Akeem was slightly injured and the other party's head was missing.
Akeem's method was less intense, but what was supposed to come would still come.
When most of the registration was completed and slavery began to be lifted, conflicts increased.
A large number of people died in Red Rock City first, and the big families did not dare to move, so there was no damage in this process.
It's true that Carver didn't resist much because of Braun's unconventional way of doing things, but when it came to a small amount of "private property", someone still died.
Li wanted to give her some advice...of course, it was the method in the pamphlet someone else gave her.
Pay some literate people to give local lectures on why slavery should be abolished.
There is no need to start with any weird people, just one point is enough - slaves only work for food, but big families always have so many things to do, which will actually squeeze out the job opportunities and income of ordinary citizens. Quota.
There were no restrictions on the location of the propaganda, which was equivalent to the government paying to spread the gossip. It quickly gained the support of all the people at the bottom, and even some people who were not doing well in black and gray business stopped causing trouble.
By cutting off the possibility of rebels inciting ignorant people through propaganda, the remaining stubborn resisters will no longer be polite. Even if there are some innocent people among them, they can only be considered stupid.
Akeem gave him another ten days of buffering, saying that if he acted again he would be killed. In the end, he only ransacked three houses and cut off a dozen heads, and the rest were all surrendered.
Li Xiang had no chance to do anything during the whole process. Apart from occasionally hosting small meetings, he would go around sketching with his drawing book every day and take it back to show off when the time came.
From her point of view, this was fine right now. She didn't have to worry about it, and she could avoid attending classes at the institute. It was considered a big vacation.
But the knowledge she learned made her realize that growing territory is not always a good thing.
From the perspective of strength, a large territory and a large population will make it stronger in the large-scale demon conflicts that may occur in the future. But it will also cause panic among the lords in surrounding areas, leading to increased military pressure on the rear.
How to balance the two and how to preserve strength in the front and rear attacks are all very complicated issues.
Li Xiang couldn't help with these things. He could only help him kill a few more people or monsters when he needed it.
Occupying people without asking for money was a very troublesome matter. It took a month to adjust the city's operating framework and began to use a large number of locals to build a new city management system.
Using Kafur as a pilot, the business of the Urban Management Bureau was split into three units.
They are responsible for street and traffic patrols, police responsible for criminal investigation, and courts responsible for trials.
The chain is quite complex to organize. I heard someone say that the reason is because as the distance from the royal city increases, the possibility of a local emperor becoming more and more likely, so we need to start to limit the powers of each department. And as the number of literate people gradually increases, those who are close to each other will also have to separate their powers.
