Lord: Exiled by Stepmother, I'll Rule the World Anyway

With gray hair and Marius' surname, Alison is a remnant of the Purple and Gold Empire. However, she moved with her family to the Holy Griffin Empire before the empire was destroyed.

The last capital of the besieged Zijin Empire also received news of its fall a week ago.

The city that the world longed for, the Purple Gold City, completely fell into the hands of the heretics, and the emperor and the chosen ones were all killed or humiliated. Then came the massacre of the residents. Fortunately, the pagan emperor was a good character and pardoned half of the residents.

Therefore, refugees from the Purple Gold Empire can flow into the Griffin Empire.

Adrian was silent for a moment: "I will accept wealthy businessmen. If there are divine choosers, mages or fighting knights, I can also provide help."

"But what really needs help is..."

Alison wanted to continue, but Adrian raised his hand to stop her.

"Don't you think that my current situation is good? I don't have the final say in Fulan City alone. Most of the power is controlled by my father, and he also arranged officials to supervise it. Damn it. Of course, even if there is I won’t give supplies to the refugees, they are useless except for shitting everywhere.”

"Well, I understand." Alison lowered her head in embarrassment and accepted the answer helplessly.

Adrian didn't want to say more and looked in another direction: "Have you found the murderer of Kuchi's death? Is it that bastard Gareth? He seemed to have evaporated and disappeared without a trace."

"We have no clue at all. We have found no survivors or witnesses. Baron Simon also wrote to express condolences to you." Adrian's advisor stepped forward to answer. The advisor hesitated for a moment and then said, "One more thing. Baron Simon mentioned Now comes your brother, Baron Field. Not only is he alive, but he has also made a lot of money from Simon."

"You think I don't know?" Adrian couldn't control himself again, his body was trembling slightly, "How could he not be dead? He definitely didn't go to the Northern Province, yes, he definitely didn't go. Cowardly loser , has violated the laws of the empire, and is simply a disgrace to the family."

"But...he brought out the monster's head and wine from the death haze. Moreover, the defenders of Maple Leaf Fortress also confirmed that he entered the Northern Province."

Adrian was so angry that he almost turned the table over: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Now, Alison, go to the Maple Leaf Territory and kill Field! I will never allow the family property to be divided by waste." Adrian slammed the table and said angrily, "In addition, kill Simon too, and all my goods will be gone. , on his land! He must have done it, it can’t be my good-for-nothing brother!"

"Sending the Chosen Ones to the lands of other nobles to murder them is tantamount to declaring war. We are no match for the Maple Leaf Territory." The advisor said calmly, "Letting the army go is also an act of declaring war. In addition, you don't want to betray the enemy. He should be called 'brother-killer', right?"

The reputation of the nobles is greater than the sky. They can oppress the people at the bottom at will. They can be kicked to death by war horses or drowned in the manhole. However, if they harm their relatives, they will be nailed to the pillar of shame and will never have friends again.

"That's it..."

Before Adrian could speak, there were rapid footsteps outside.

"Sir! The untouchables in Itavin Province were instigated by the cultists and rebelled directly!"

The messenger crawled in and handed over the letter. These words made everyone present take a breath.

The Shadow World Cult launched a rebellion in Nogaisk, a wealthy city in the Itavan province. Lucius, the border guard, and his family were killed and sacrificed by the cultists. Several surrounding barons were also caught off guard, three were killed, and one escaped with the help of the Chosen One.

One retainer's eyes widened: "This... this is not a rebellion of the untouchables. The untouchables cannot defeat fully armed soldiers, let alone the opponents of the chosen ones."

The weaker baron can easily take down several times as many farmers or slaves by pulling out five knights, a hundred fully armed soldiers, and five to six hundred levied serfs.

Not to mention the Viscount who owns the Chosen One and the Fortress Castle.

"Yes, so the royal family has noticed that this is a conspiracy. The destruction of the Zijin Empire has made the dark forces ready to take action."

The governor of Itavin Province was furious and demanded that the nobles in the province immediately put down the rebellion. The imperial royal family also requested the surrounding provinces to provide assistance.

As a neighbor of Itawen Province, Fulan City will inevitably be affected.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

In the Northern Province, Field was extremely busy.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~"

A large gray stone was even engraved with exquisite patterns, depicting philosophical discussions about the starry sky and humanities. However, it was randomly thrown on the ground, and then the dragon wolf slapped it and smashed the big stone into pieces. . Slaves would take small pieces of stone, break them into smaller pieces, and lay them flat on the compacted road bed to build gravel roads.

After a week of construction, the road has begun to take shape.

Without theodolite distance measurement, the road will inevitably be uneven and the materials will be laid unevenly, which will affect the service life.

But Field is already very satisfied. This road is temporary and will be replaced by better materials in the future, such as cement or magic materials.

Raw materials from quarries and lumberjacks are also continuously transported into the territory. The scraps of poor quality were bought by slaves to build shacks. That's right, I bought it back.

Field built something that could be called a "market" at the entrance of the large winery, selling some obsolete gadgets. For example, one copper coin can buy a large bundle of wood waste, which can be bought back to make a fire or build a shed.

The profit in the market is almost zero, and Field doesn't expect them to buy much. The market simply expresses Field's internal political trends. Tell the people that their money will have somewhere to spend it sooner or later.

Because of this behavior, the free people became more motivated and were willing to work for Field to earn money, go to the quarry to transport stone, or join other jobs.

"After the first batch of grain is harvested, we can cancel the food supply." Field's heart bleeds as he looks at the disappearing grain. "From now on, let the free people be responsible for their own profits and losses, or use money to buy food."

The food in the entire territory is provided by Field, including the free people. After all, they cannot starve to death.

"My lord, my lord! The first batch of happy beans is out of the pot!" Ashina ran over and cheered happily, "I made a lot of them and they taste sweet."

"Don't eat that stuff like candy!" Field was speechless, and Asuna was too greedy. "How was the experiment?"

Ashina blushed: "This Kaa is responsible, I don't know."
