Evolving Silver Dragon

Chapter 475: 463 Simple and Rude_1
For the Crimson Empress, executing the Golden Emperor did not bring any negative consequences.

After all, she herself was of pure imperial blood, and at most, people would say she was cold-hearted.

And such evaluations had accompanied her for many years.

With the order of the Crimson Empress, the Eastern Empire’s army, which had previously been stationed at the border between the two great empires, began to advance immediately towards the major towns in the Western Empire.

Previously, almost all the Western Empire’s army had been sent to Black Rye City. Now, those who were dead were dead, those who were injured were injured, and the rest were almost all incorporated by Otto.

Now, the major towns in the Western Empire’s territory were empty, without any guards, and only had the evil servants of the great nobles.

Those who were originally soldiers in the Western Empire were not good people in the first place and had done a fair share of oppressing commoners. But the evil servants of these great nobles were even worse than those soldiers.

Perhaps it was the sense of powerlessness and despair they felt on the edge of the kingdom, that they exploited those honest, hardworking people even harder.

Even a rabbit, when cornered, will bite, and the oppressed will naturally rebel.

By the time the Eastern Empire’s people arrived, these towns were already in chaos.

The armed noble servants and the farmers were already at a point of no return, so the first issue faced by the newly arrived Eastern Empire people was the matter of resolving the conflicts.

Whether to help the nobles suppress the commoners or to help the farmers seek justice, a choice had to be made as soon as possible.

Now in urgent need of a resolution, the Crimson Empress sent her own mentor, the Gale Swordsman, to the Western Empire just a short while ago.

Now, this top expert, whose status and seniority in the empire were only slightly lower than Dudley’s, had arrived at the Western Empire’s imperial capital.

He already knew about everything that had happened here on the way.

Looking at the surrounding fat nobles and listening to their nonsense, he naturally wouldn’t believe a single word of it.

He even found it a bit laughable that the empire had fallen to such a state, and these fools were still thinking about their own petty interests.

“Ah…”

The Gale Swordsman first sighed and shook his head, then slightly appeased the nobles below.

There was no choice; although these nobles were foolish, many things still had to rely on them in the future.

Reluctantly, he admitted that in the empire, many tasks could only be done by these brainless fellows.

Of course, some of them had gone too far in their actions and needed a warning.

As for those who were harsh in their daily actions and had only average status…

They would become the scapegoats used by the Gale Swordsman to appease the commoners.

So, with astonished looks on their faces, several low-ranking nobles were dragged out directly.

No matter how these poor wretches cried out, the Gale Swordsman remained unmoved, even smiling at the other nobles and signaling them not to worry.

Being able to have their current status, these nobles were naturally not fools and realized that what they had done before was indeed excessive.

So, they all tacitly pretended not to see the fate of the unfortunate few earlier and stepped down from their positions.

After that, they naturally dared not repeat their previous suicidal actions, and the commoners’ anger also subsided after witnessing a few noble lords being hanged at the city gate.

It was sad that these lifelong poor people were so easily satisfied.

After another week passed like this, the unrest in the Western Empire’s territory was barely stabilized.

Now, the Western Empire was directly incorporated into the Eastern Empire’s territory, and the Felkorde Empire was finally reunified after being divided for hundreds of years.

If it were an ordinary time, this would definitely be a cause for celebration, but now was not a good time for nationwide celebrations.

During the time when the Eastern Empire was incorporating the Western Empire’s territory, Gaz and his team were not idle, and they had quickly taken over four towns in the Western Empire during this period.

Attacking these virtually unguarded towns was not difficult at all, and Gaz, who knew Otto’s intentions, even restrained his monsters from doing anything out of line.

When Gaz and Angelina walked into the city lord’s mansion in these cities, some Western Empire nobles who were good at ingratiating themselves came forward.

They were either unable or unwilling to leave their territories due to packing their belongings too slowly or cherishing their own domains too much.

The things they had done before the towns were lost were, of course, not any good deeds, and the ordinary people in the cities had long hated them to the bone.

After the towns changed hands, they swore to Gaz and Angelina that they would be willing to pay a certain price to secure their own safety.

But obviously, Gaz and Angelina did not fall for their tricks.

In the end, the entire families of these nobles, even their evil servants, were hanged at the city gates, and the wealth found in their homes was far more than what they used for bribes.

It is worth mentioning that when these nobles who had oppressed the common people and their families were hanged at the city gate, many ordinary people came to watch the spectacle every day.

Looking at this scene and thinking about their lives in the past seven days, some Western Empire citizens suddenly found that their quality of life seemed to have improved a lot compared to before.

The reason was simple: Gaz and his team not only limited the monsters from committing any outrageous acts against ordinary people, but also distributed food and supplies to the poor in the city regularly.

Every day, Chimeras and Wyverns constantly brought in large and small parcels, while the underground tunnels were also being built at full speed.

For Otto, who now controlled half of the continent’s territory, this burden was not much at all.

At the same time, all the laws of the former Western Empire were abolished and replaced with the laws of the Land of the Soaring Dragon.

To accommodate the limited brain capacity of the monsters, the laws of the Land of the Soaring Dragon had always been very simple and crude.

But fortunately, the uneducated ordinary people of the Western Empire were not much smarter than the monsters.

The simple and crude laws, like an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, were much easier for them to accept.

At the same time, there was no such thing as nobility above ordinary people anymore.

According to the interpretation of the laws of the Land of the Soaring Dragon, everyone was equal except for the great Silver Dragon Lord and the lucky ones who received his grace.

Even those who had received the grace of the Silver Dragon Lord, the ones who had undergone the Dragonborn Transformation Ritual, could not oppress others without reason.
