"If you don't catch it, forget it."
Owen got up from his seat, "Now that you've taken Einbeck, take me into town." ”"Okay."
Then, Viscount Javis turned to the soldier and ordered: "Come, escort Your Majesty into the city!"
”Under the protection of the soldiers, Owen entered Einbeck through the east gate.Except for the East Gate, which was the most damaged, the rest of the city was not greatly damaged, presumably because the enemies in the city did not resist much.After all, even the commander fled before the battle, and the soldiers who stayed behind naturally had no will to fight, so there was no need to risk their lives for this battle that was bound to be lost.The streets were deserted, and the city's residents had either fled long ago or were hiding in their homes and were afraid to go out.With Owen's permission, the accompanying forces of the Holy Church of Caleb immediately launched an operation in Einbeck, searching the local church and arresting and disposing of the extremists of the new holy religion, that is, those of the old school of the church.As a new type of army with strict discipline, the KPA did not carry out any looting after taking over Einbeck, but took the initiative to maintain law and order to ensure that no one took advantage of the chaos to commit crimes.The move was incredible.Generally speaking, the victorious side of the battle will loot the city of the defeated side on a large scale, such as robbing money, raping people's daughters, and so on.For the soldiers, this was a reward for victory in war.The commander has always turned a blind eye to this, allowing his soldiers to act recklessly.Arriving in the central plaza, where a large number of disarmed captive soldiers had gathered, Owen found them all looking dejected.Seeing the king's arrival, the guards immediately urged some of the captives sitting on the ground to stand up.Glancing at the group of captives with their heads bowed, Owen slowly spoke, "It seems that you are full of despair about your future. ”To this, the captives did not reply, anyway, they had already lost, and now it was meat on the board - to be slaughtered."
You can rest assured."
Owen continued: "Not long ago, our army won a great victory in the Mantal Plain, and we also captured many prisoners, and they are still safe and sound.In the same way, you will not have to worry about your life.Again, our army will not kill prisoners, and this is a promise I have made to you as the king of a country, and I will absolutely abide by it. ”Hearing this, the captives were grateful: "Thank you, Your Majesty!
”This speech was important and timely, as it calmed the uneasiness of the captives and prevented the possibility of a riot.After dealing with the prisoners, Owen entered the town hall building and ordered the soldiers to gather all the petty officials and civilians who had not had time to escape.City Hall Building, Ground Floor Hall.At the urging of the soldiers, hundreds of people from the city hall gathered.All of them were uneasy, and some of them were so nervous that they were sweating wildly, and they kept raising their hands to wipe them, and they were very tormented, not knowing what the monarch of the Dawnlight Kingdom planned to do with them.After a while, Owen, surrounded by guards, appeared at the front of the hall.Looking at this group of overwhelmed petty officials and civilians, Owen announced in public: "I don't care who you served before, this city needs the management of the city hall to maintain stability."
Therefore, I am here to officially announce that all of you are returning to your posts and continuing to work. ”Hearing this, the city hall personnel present were a little incredulous.After attacking the city, out of distrust of the enemy, the victorious side will generally disband the town hall and let their cronies reorganize the city with a new town hall.At most, it is to keep some low-level staff and save the trouble of re-recruiting.And that's not all, and even more surprising is yet to come.Owen continued, "Your town hall manager has long since run away.Now that there is a shortage of a steward, I will give you some time and send a representative to come out. ”This means that one person is to be promoted from among the existing staff to run the town hall.He didn't even send his own cronies to manage the town hall, and the city hall personnel present even wondered if their ears had heard it wrong, this king was really bold in employing people.Despite this, this rare promotion opportunity is not something that few people dare to fight for, and it takes a certain amount of courage.Because this move means that he will completely throw himself into the Morning Light Kingdom, once Einbeck changes hands again, the end will be miserable, and the Popang Empire will not be soft on the betrayer at all.After a fierce argument in private, a middle-aged man with slightly chubby and somewhat thinning hair took the initiative to step forward and introduce himself after saluting Owen's chest."
Your Majesty, I am Turner Marvin, the deputy of the Home Officer, and I am willing to serve you.""
You're the one, right?"
Owen glanced at the other party, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Then from today onwards, you will be the temporary head of the city hall." ”"Your Majesty, I will work hard."
Turner took up the task decisively."
Turner Marvin, then your task now is to get the town hall back up and running, restore order to Einbeck, and ensure stability in the city."
Owen immediately gave the new manager a task and said, "What positions are missing?"
You have to quickly count it, and I'll arrange for some people to add it temporarily. ”"Yes, Your Majesty."
Turner replied.Then, the people present quickly returned to their posts, and thanks to Turner's efforts, the town hall was slowly back up and running.Owen has no intention of pushing for reform on Einbeck's side, or rather is in no hurry.The Dawnlight Kingdom and the Popon Empire are at war, and the most important task at this stage is to maintain stability in the city and avoid riots or other bad things.That being the case, it was quickest and best to let the original town hall staff continue to manage Einbeck in the same way they used to.If a new town hall is to be formed, it will inevitably encounter various problems in the early run-in stage, and improper handling may arouse public anger.If there are all kinds of unstable factors in the rear, then the front will not be able to concentrate on fighting, which is a big taboo.As for when will the same reforms be carried out as on the Morning Light Kingdom's side?
That will have to wait until the end of the war and the redrawing of national borders.…… Imperial capital of Visbat, palace castle.The knight of thunder, Bard Punir, was defeated in disarray, and fled back with the knights in a hurry, naturally being severely punished by Emperor Begana Nicholast."
Bastard!"
After punishing the Thunder Knight, Begana angrily hammered down the table next to him, and several large gaps cracked on the table, and then the entire table collapsed.You must know that the furniture of the palace and castle is strictly selected, and the quality is absolutely passable.He couldn't withstand Begana's hammer, which shows that he is also a very powerful warrior himself, and he hides very deeply."
The Bloodthirsty Knight has lost, and the Thunder Light Knight has also been defeated, and my Popon Empire doesn't need to defeat the waste of the battle!"
