Chapter 241: Territory of Chaos, New City Lord

The Territory of Chaos is located south of the Dark Forest.

There are forty-eight principalities here, with a total area that is almost half the size of the O’Brien Empire. This is also the most chaotic place in the entire Magnolia Continent, with the forty-eight principalities engaged in constant wars and fighting.

Of course, it is said that there are forty-eight principalities, but this is a statistic from the early years. In this chaotic territory, wars are frequent and the number of principalities may change every few years. It is difficult to say how many there are now.

In addition, the environment around the Territory of Chaos is also very chaotic. It is adjacent to the O’Brien Empire, the Luo Empire, and the Far East Prairie. At the same time, the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness have always attempted to conquer the Territory of Chaos. The two churches are naturally opposed and fight each other endlessly. The forces in the Territory of Chaos should not be underestimated.

Moreover, the Territory of Chaos is adjacent to the Dark Forest. There are as many magical beasts in the Dark Forest as in the Magic Mountain Range. The occasional waves of magical beasts will undoubtedly increase the danger of the Territory of Chaos.

“It’s really messy.” A young man wearing white armor, with a long sword at his waist, with a slender figure, red hair and blue eyes, sighed while holding a map.

This person is Yun Ting’s dragon blood warrior clone. Out of a bad taste, the name of this clone is Reinhardt.

In terms of appearance, he naturally made changes and adjustments. After all, he cultivated his first clone with the direct bloodline of the Baruch family. From the effect of this talent, it is similar to a clone.

In other words, without external interference, the appearance of this clone and the direct descendant of the Baruch family will basically not change.

Of course, Yun Ting also made some changes to this clone through acquired changes, such as the hair color, which was changed by bathing in the blood of a fire dragon and combining it with some magic potions.

The Territory of Chaos is completely different from the Holy Alliance and the O’Brien Empire. The latter two are very peaceful, and the noble ladies can stroll and talk with each other in gorgeous clothes.

But in the Territory of Chaos, warriors wearing armor and carrying weapons can be seen everywhere, with that fierce aura, ready to kill people without saying a word.

On the way here, he had already encountered three waves of robbery.

Of course, the final result was that the robbers filled his pockets.

It is worth mentioning that Reinhardt’s current body is about eighteen years old, and when Yun Ting first cultivated this clone, his body age was about ten years old.

In other words, this clone has been growing for eight years.

In terms of the realm of understanding the mysteries of the laws, he is already stronger than most of the Saints, but the quality and quantity of his fighting spirit have not yet transformed, and he is currently only a ninth-level warrior.

Of course, after bathing in dragon blood, Reinhardt also awakened the bloodline of a dragon blood warrior. After becoming a dragon, he was directly comparable to a sanctuary warrior, and his realm was even higher.

“Well… the lord of Lieyan City is similar to the nobles and lords of other Chaos Territories, so let’s just take him.”

Reinhardt thought that in the Territory of Chaos, killing was very common, and even the replacement of city lords was very common.

The strong are respected, this is one of the iron rules of the Territory of Chaos.

Lieyan City is just a small city in the Territory of Chaos, and is affiliated with one of the principalities. Of course, although it is called a principality, in reality, changes in the ruling country often occur.

Therefore, there is no such thing as loyalty when serving as the mayor of such a small city. This kind of mayor simply treats the people in the city as grass and harvests them from time to time.

Reinhardt just walked around in the Territory of Chaos and selected his targets, but he had underestimated the chaos here before. The first city alone met the standards.

The lord of this city is also an unscrupulous lord who exploits the people. Reinhardt will not have any psychological burden if he takes his position.

The next day, a piece of news spread throughout Lieyan City:
The original city lord died, and the new city lord Reinhardt took over!

“That old guy is finally dead!”

“That’s right, that bastard was too greedy, he deserves to die!”

“Don’t rush to say yes, we still don’t know who the new lord is and what his personality and temper are like.”

“Yeah, even though the old bastard was greedy, he at least left us a way to survive. If the new city lord was also so greedy, and even more cruel…” The man didn’t dare to continue. It is difficult to survive in the Territory of Chaos. One has to worry about staying alive every day. As long as the people here can survive, they are blessed by heaven.

This person is not the only one who has this mentality. When the old city lord died and the new one took over, everyone became worried, fearing that the jackals would leave and the tigers would come.

But soon, a middle-aged man in knight armor appeared at the gate of the city lord’s mansion.

The people of Lieyan City all recognized him. This man, named Morris, was a seventh-level warrior and the warrior commander of Lieyan City, but he had a good reputation in Lieyan City.

“Lord Morris, how is the new city lord?”

A young man in coarse cloth asked. He didn’t care who the new city lord was. He only cared whether the new city lord was as greedy as the previous one.

However, Morris smiled when he heard his words: “The city lord is very good. He is a great nobleman and a very tolerant and powerful man.”

As he spoke, he took out a list and said, “The city lord has abolished a lot of redundant taxes. I won’t go into detail. You can take a look at it later.”

In a small city like Lieyan City, the old city lord naturally imposed various taxes in order to make money. It was precisely because of these taxes that many ordinary people found it difficult to even maintain the most basic food and clothing.

Reinhardt simply eliminated some completely unnecessary taxes based on some experience from his previous life.

“what?!”

“Lord Morris, is this true?!”

But for the people of Lieyan City, this was an unexpected surprise. All the previous city lords had increased taxes, and none of them had reduced taxes!
However, this new city lord directly cut taxes as soon as he took office!

“of course it’s true!”

Morris said seriously: “Lord Reinhardt is a great ninth-level warrior. He can’t possibly lie to you.”

“Level nine warrior?”

“How could such a strong man appear in Lieyan City!”

“Oh my god, our Lieyan City has the protection of level nine warriors. Isn’t it more powerful than those big cities?!”

Although a ninth-level warrior is not as powerful as a ninth-level magician in status, he is also a top-notch warrior. Even in a place like the Fenlai Kingdom, a ninth-level warrior is already a top-notch warrior, not to mention a small city in the Territory of Chaos.

Here, a ninth-level warrior is a legendary figure, and any one of them can easily open up a large territory!

“I didn’t have this kind of experience in my previous life, and those bastards didn’t give me any memories. I can still give some advice on ideology, but in terms of governance… I still have to find some reliable people!”

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, Reinhardt looked at the piles of various documents that had never been processed. He wanted to dig out the old City Lord and whip his corpse. This old bastard was too stupid!
“It has to be as soon as possible.”

Reinhardt looked at the pile of documents and sighed again. If he didn’t find some help, he would die of exhaustion here.

It is extremely difficult to create a utopian territory in a place like the Territory of Chaos. Moreover, in such a place, simply reducing taxes is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause, which makes it difficult for the people to feel a sense of belonging.

There is still a lot of work to be done if we want to truly enhance the people’s sense of belonging and make them willing to fight for Lieyan City.

“Sure enough, it has to be red…”

Reinhardt seemed to have thought of something, but it would take some time to put it into practice. No matter how powerful he was, he could only speed up the process as much as possible, and it was impossible to achieve it overnight.
