Glory Riding and Cutting

Chapter 155: seize power

"Captain! Someone from outside the city!" Just when Damon was leaning against the city wall and was about to fall asleep, a soldier who was brought by him ran to him and said.

"Ah, what?" Damon was woken up, but he was still a little confused, but he quickly remembered the purpose of the night, and he woke up instantly, ran to the crenel and looked down.

After estimating the number, there must be several hundred people, and when he saw a cavalryman in the front row raised the banner and waved it, Damon knew that these were the people he was waiting for, so he immediately said to the soldiers beside him:

"Open the city gates!"

"But captain!" The soldier was immediately confused. Before Damon came, he didn't tell them why he brought them out to stand guard in such an abnormal way tonight. Hearing Damon's order at this time, it was naturally a little difficult to understand, after all Those people don't look like good people.

"Don't ask any more questions! Hurry up and open the city gate. Haven't you been in love with the little flower who lives in Cuiwei for a long time? After the event, your benefit is indispensable!" Damon slapped the soldier's head on the back of the head, but hit the helmet instead. The shock made himself painful, and Damon suddenly became more angry. He glared fiercely, and the soldier immediately shrank his neck and ran to the gatehouse to open the city gate.

With the sound of the iron chains rubbing against each other, the heavy door slowly opened, first raising the outer iron gate, and then opening the heavy wooden door inside.

The silent black troops walked into the city through the door. Aldridge, who was headed by them, saw the leader arranged by Ronan who had been waiting for a long time, and then followed the leader to the pre-prepared venue provided by the Wind Road Gang.

Under the support and instruction of Ronan, the Temple of the God of War has often helped people see doctors for free, and also distributed food to the poor within a specified period of time. In just a few days, it has received a lot of praise from the masses. Overwhelming all other temples in the city, Ronan, who is in charge of everything, has also gained a lot of prestige and the support of many people.

These are actually just the regular operations of the temples in the past, but since the gods have been hidden, the incense of the temples has not been as good as before. Now most of the temples are already reluctant to maintain the basic operation, not to mention the benefits for the believers. .

The masses are like this. As long as you give them benefits, they will support you. The nobles in this world have never paid attention to the power of the people, but Ronan, who came across, knows that water can carry a boat or capsize it. The power is very powerful, as long as it can be used reasonably, it can bring a lot of convenience and benefits to Ronan.

Ronan wants to seize power by force, so the most important thing is the stability of the territory after the seizure of power, otherwise, let alone external expansion, just dealing with the mess in the territory will be exhausted, and when he is finished, he will miss the best development opportunity. Now, it will be much more troublesome to face other power grabbing forces.

Another day has passed, and the undercurrent that engulfed Fengming has already demonstrated its power. Overnight, thirty-six powerful people in Fengming City died in their own homes. The staff were brought under control as soon as they went to work.

Damon sat on the seat that once belonged to his grandfather, rubbing the smooth armrests, various inexplicable emotions constantly flowing in his heart.

"Damon, why are you sitting in the captain's seat!" The person who spoke was the number one dog-leg of the former city guard captain, Carney, who had no aristocratic status, but usually stood by the captain and ignored Damon. .

"No, Carney, this is my seat, it has belonged to our family since my grandfather!" Damon stood up a little excitedly.

"Are you crazy? Where's the captain?" Carney was a little puzzled, but Damon's usual weakness gave him some inertia.

"Pay attention to the way you talk to me! You are just a commoner! How dare you talk to the nobles like this!" Damon was very angry, he was no longer what he used to be, he stood up!

At this time, the other team members and team leaders entered the conference hall one after another. According to the usual practice, except for those who are on duty at night, everyone else has to go to the conference hall in the morning for a morning meeting. At this time, people also noticed this. The quarrel between the two.

Carney's expression also changed. Although Damon is very weak, he is still a nobleman. It's just his usual habits that make people less and less concerned about talking to him. But if Damon really wants to tell the courtroom, Carney is still out of luck.

"Sorry, Ser Damon, what about Captain?" Carney gritted his teeth and bowed.

"You'll never see him again, now I'm the new captain!" Damon said with a sneer, looking at Carney.

"What?" Karney's expression changed, not understanding the meaning.

"Don't you understand? He's dead!"

As Damon's voice fell, there was an uproar in the conference hall, and the team members were confused, talking to each other at a loss.

"Quiet!!!" Damon yelled angrily.

Looking at the people who were looking down at him~lightnovelpub.net~ Damon said slowly:

"From today, I will take over as the team captain. The appointment letter will be down soon. Do you have any opinions?"

Looking at Damon, who was completely different from usual, everyone bowed their heads and saluted to express no opinion. Most people didn't care. Changing a captain would have no effect on them, but some people usually don't respect Damon very much. The faces of the people were very gloomy, and they were all worried about what would happen in the future.

Most of the other departments are similar to Damon's here. Occasionally, a few thorns are killed by the soldiers sent by Ronan to maintain stability. As for those departments that no one chooses to obey Ronan, Ronan uses all the staff. Take control, fight on the spot, and then arrange for someone to take over after his side is finished. If it doesn't work, leave a small number of people to take over the work, and replace the rest.

As for Marcel and Eric, who died in their own home with a terrified but slightly smiling face, no scars but no breathing, they were found by priest Ashley as disrespectful to God and given the reason for their death. The body was burned, and even the ashes were confiscated. The terrifying corpses of Marcel and Eric also made many people in the temple shudder and put away a lot of careful thoughts.

At this time, there is also a good show ready to start on the earl's mansion. Ronan was wearing his set of composite plate armor, standing at the gate of the Earl's Palace with the Nightmare in one hand and the helmet in the other. Behind him stood a hundred heavily armed soldiers.

Ronan waved his hand, and some of the soldiers dispersed to block the other two exits of the Earl's Palace, while Ronan walked towards the gate with Meryses and the remaining sixty soldiers.

The four soldiers on duty at the door were a little nervous when they saw the fully armed Ronan and the soldiers, and they were a little overwhelmed, because that was the second son of the Earl's Palace, but it seemed that he was a bad visitor.
