Marvel’s Princess Chapter 442: Bard

 The mayor of Changhu Town has a Mediterranean-style hairstyle. His brown hair and beard are messily mixed together. There are a lot of water stains on the collar and sleeves. A strong smell of alcohol can be heard from afar. You can smell it.

Bella is not even interested in asking for his name. To her, this mayor is illegal! Anything illegal will be destroyed.

 Without Jason taking any action, a group of soldiers who only knew how to bully civilians were defeated one by one by the Snake Eyes clan.

 The big clock in the center of the town struck twelve times, and most of the townspeople who were at home came to gather.

Bella's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

 She held up a document in her hand: "This is the land grant certificate issued by King Erub, King of the Mountains, and King Thorin of the Dwarves of Turin. From today on, the land reaches Gushan in the north and Changchun in the south. This area of ​​the lake is the land of Arendelle, and I am your king. All previous rulers were illegal and trampled on the Kingdom of Erub and the Kingdom of Arendelle. I have the right to confiscate them! All personal property and give them a just judgment according to the laws of the New Kingdom”

 Many of the townspeople looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all dumbfounded. What's going on?

 They saw the majestic mayor and the mayor's accomplice Alfred kneeling aside like quails, and for a moment they felt that they were still in a dream.

 A tall, middle-aged man with a mustache pushed aside the crowd and walked up to Bella angrily.

 "This land belongs to Changhu Town, a place for humans! It has nothing to do with any dwarf kingdom! Please take your people and leave! You are not welcome here!"

 With a flick of Bella's finger, Bai Qiu, a snake-eyed man, knelt aside and pulled the former mayor, who was like sifting chaff, in front of her.

 After asking the middle-aged man’s name and identity, Bella had an idea.

 She looked directly at the other person: "Mr. Bard, I don't know if you know this...Then I will say it again in front of everyone, your great-great-grandfather, the Lord of Girion and Ilu The Kingdom of Bo signed a contract. The contract stipulates that the ownership of the River Valley Town and Changhu Town under your feet now belongs to the Kingdom of Yirube. As a price for residence, River Valley Town and Changhu Town must pay to the Kingdom of Yirube every year. 60% of annual income in return."

 Bella pointed at the people: "Mr. Bard, do you know these things? They all stand against me and the decision made by the dwarf king, but you do not."

 Bad retreated angrily. The situation was so helpless. Unless he disowned his ancestors, he had to recognize the dwarf king’s ownership of this land. Of course he could continue to fight, but in this world, people who disown their ancestors must A crime greater than surrendering to the Dark Lord Sauron.

 After knocking down the most powerful mayor of Long Lake Town and rendering the most prestigious Bard speechless, Bella clapped her hands gently.

 The Snake Eyes family walked out of the mayor's room behind them. They all held huge boxes in their hands, filled with gold and silver treasures.

 This is the wealth that the mayor has worked hard to collect over the years.

Gold coins, statues, necklaces, rings, gold cups, armor, gorgeous ceremonial swords, robes, cloths, precious medicinal materials, and many other dazzling treasures from the northern countries filled twenty large boxes.

 These things are far less than the treasures of Gushan, but in Bella's opinion, they are enough.

 The facts are almost the same. The residents of Changhu Town have never seen so many rare treasures. Even many guards belonging to the mayor were lying on the ground and looking sideways. The scene of gold, silver and jewelry piled up in an open space was really real. It's so spectacular.

 Bella raised the staff in her hand, and the light spell attracted everyone's attention.

 “The hard work and tenacity of Changhu Town are worthy of recognition. Now I have two options for you. You can choose freely. First, I take my followers and tribesmen to live in the Valley Town in the north. You can pretend that what happened today never happened, and the guy kneeling next to me can continue to be the mayor. Second, you are willing to accept my rule, and I will generously distribute these treasures to you, to all of you! Please feel free to choose!”

  It is said that it is a free choice, but in fact there is not much need to choose! The former mayor and Bella are similar in the eyes of many townspeople. Now that there is money to be taken, why should there be any hesitation?

The first thing Bella did when he ruled Changhu Town was to publicly pronounce the crimes of the former mayor and his thugs, let the townspeople report and expose them, and then conduct a public trial, using the tactics of the local tyrants to divide the land. The townspeople were obviously very friendly towards Bella and her group.

 The trick is simple and crude, but history has proven that this trick is invincible in this environment.

 Jason's machete swung, and the heads of the mayor and several accomplices were chopped off one by one. The heads were hung on the flagpole in the center of the town for public display. After that, the townspeople began to happily distribute the money.

 The women rolled up their sleeves, wrapped a large bag of gold coins in their aprons and ran home.

 The old man, who was as skinny as if he was about to die in the next moment, wrapped the golden statue in his arms. He didn't care about the coldness on the surface of the statue, and just wanted to find a place where no one was around to take a closer look.

 Children dragged the heavy and gorgeous cloth home little by little.

  Even Bard, who had been opposed to Bella before, also took a small box of gold coins and a gorgeous half-body armor.

His three children each carried two rolls of cloth, a saddle and two pairs of leather boots, and the family walked home happily.

Bard’s previous opinions have long been thrown out of the window. Anyway, the previous mayor regarded him, the descendant of the former city lord, as a thorn in his side. The conflict between the two parties is irreconcilable. Now the former mayor’s head is hanging on the flagpole, and After sharing the former mayor's family fortune, he still disapproved of Bella's rule in his heart, but he was no longer so opposed to it.

 There are only a few people who are as pragmatic and calm as the Bard family. Most of the townspeople choose gold, diamonds and jewelry, while only a few choose cloth, clothing and daily necessities.

Bella didn't care, she didn't keep any of the mayor's treasure, she gave away all of it.

 The next day, she summoned several prestigious people in the town to discuss the future management of the town.

 A trembling old man had the courage to propose to her: "Before, we were going to set up a... a management committee... to exercise the powers of the town mayor on our behalf. ....."

 "Okay! I think this management committee is very meaningful and I support it!" Bella expressed her support for the townspeople's decision to establish a committee to manage the town. Great committee! Playing the role of mayor or city lord would be detrimental to her rule.

 Several old men looked at each other and felt that things were going too smoothly.

 Bella reiterated her position again: "I didn't lie, and there is no need to lie. I really think the management committee's method is very good. Do any of you object?"
