After Bai Yan City changed to the city lord, the whole atmosphere became different.

The new city lord did not intend to hide the conspiracy in Baiyan Castle; he told all the residents of Baiyan City about his life the next day at dawn.

His wrists were completely different from those of Count David; the David family was more gentle and kind, so the people loved them more and were willing to live in Baiyan City; but the Rank family was not like this - they only wanted to achieve their goals and did not care about means.

After Earl Tad became the city lord, he first shocked the residents of the city - the specific method was to show Earl David and his support to the people of the whole city.

Earl Tad sent people to nail the bodies of David and his supporters outside a carriage and parade the streets inside the city; he declared Earl David's crimes—of course, those were all false, and almost everyone knew them.

But Earl Tad achieved his goal- he just wanted to scare the residents of the city, which was enough.

Obviously, he achieved his goal - when the people faced this remarkable scene, almost no one dared to speak - of course, there were also people who heard the sound.

Someone stood up and angrily scolded Tad Rank for his reversal, and called on the residents of the town to resist together;

As a result, before he could finish his words, the poor brave man was surrounded by the soldiers; not long after, the brave man was also hung on the carriage.

After repeated this several times, Earl Tad added a carriage behind the carriage.

The meaning is very obvious: Come on, I don’t mind the number of locations, all the locations are ready for you.

After cleaning up the dissatisfied people, Earl Tader began to implement his new measures in a drastic manner:

That is to collect money.

His first step was to raise the levy on the farmers - he believed that the tax set by Earl David was too low, and those farmers were not worthy of enjoying too much food; the lords had more food to store, so it was easier to do things.

The next step is to recruit soldiers - the reason why Count David was killed so easily was because there were too few guards. He called on the strong men in the city to join his team to expand the power of the Rank family.

Where did these people come from? Earl Tad looked at the adventurers.

In his opinion, it was really hateful that these people had only force but did not work for the nobles.

He began to tax the Adventurers Guild—almost half of his income would be placed in the aristocrats’ pockets.

Such retrograde actions are rare in the entire Fareth Kingdom; but adventurers only have the aura of fighting with monsters and lack the courage to fight with people.

Either choose to swallow your anger or choose to change the line - where to go?

Of course, I joined the standing army of the nobles, and I was responsible for food and accommodation.

Adventurers have changed careers one after another. Life is already very tight, so who can withstand so much?

Even the Iron Tooth Group was greatly affected; those who needed to support their families were involved in the nobles' command, and the guild became more and more deserted.

Earl Tad didn't treat the people very well, and his face was not much better to other nobles;

Relying on his support from the Gray family, he occupied the territory and income of other nobles, and the other viscounts and barons dared not speak out.

Of course, the Hui family is very far away from here, and once something happens, it may not be possible to arrive in time;

At this time, the personal soldiers of the Rank family had to patrol the streets day and night; once any suspicious situation occurred, they would immediately deal with it, and the entire Baiyan City was panicked.

Of course, he was not without a partner to unite - the merchant who was not popular in Baiyan City before has become a popular commodity now. Earl Tad condoned the merchants to raise the price of goods and then extracted a certain amount of income, and both sides were happy.

But the residents were very unhappy.

However, they had no way to resist; the power of the Rank family was too strong, and he had more soldiers than other nobles combined - not to mention that he had the support of the Hui family.

The eldest son of the Hui family took over some Baiyan South Village with 500 elite soldiers; these soldiers had extremely strong combat power, and at least it would be no problem to deal with any noble outside the Rank family.

Considering that there may be hidden forces in the city supporting Count David, Count Tad announced that Count David's eldest son was still alive, but was currently in the dungeon of White Rock Fort;

If someone dares to act rashly, no one can guarantee his safety.

Earl David's eldest son was more lucky than the second son; he was invited out of the city by the heirs of other nobles, and was arrested on the night of the accident and threw him into the dungeon; the second son was hung in a carriage with Earl David.

As for those three daughters, they should also be in the dungeon - no one has seen them, so naturally they have no way of knowing their situation.

Alay and Fran have been planning matters related to revenge during this period.

The two of them rented two rooms in another hotel; they still had a lot of savings, and it would be fine if they didn't accept the commission for the time being;

But they knew very well that they could not stay like this for a long time.

Fran bought a wider cloth robe - she felt more comfortable wearing such clothes.

The previous one was too conspicuous on the street.

The two could realize that there were not only one or two people in Baiyan City who wanted to resist the Rank family;

But it is extremely difficult to unite them.

In addition to placing a large number of soldiers in the city, Earl Tad also sent a lot of spies; they specifically inquire whether anyone intends to be unfavorable to the Rank family.

No one can be sure if the person he talks to was sent by Earl Tad, it was too dangerous.

Therefore, it is quite difficult for someone to organize a resistance against the Rank family.

Fran frowned every day - this is what she cares most. If she wants to deal with the nobles, it is absolutely not enough to rely on the power of one or two people...

It is necessary to find a way to unite the strength of the residents; if necessary, other nobles can also make use of it.

Every day she was thinking about ways to deal with it and the power she could use;

In addition to residents and nobles, there are also mercenaries... In addition to mercenaries, there is also a magic academy...

At first, Alay was more optimistic than Fran; he knew that he couldn't think of any reliable plan, so he simply went out and tried to complete some commissions;

However, after a few days he began to be disappointed.

The commissions that mercenaries of the copper jackal level can complete are quite limited;

Even if he tried his best to complete the commission, it became difficult to make a living after deducting half of the reward.

Even the price of riding a carriage has increased with the flow - there are fewer adventurers, and the work of a carriage driver is not easy to do; there is no way, in order to retain people, the ticket for a single adventurer can only be increased from one copper wolf to two.

If this continues, it will definitely not work.

But in this situation, all Aray can do is wait.

I must become Fran's power when necessary.
