Chapter 411 Extraordinary Reform!
Two years passed.
At the beginning of the new year, an extremely terrifying rumor gradually spread among the upper class society of Syat.
Rumor has it that...
Her Majesty the Supreme Queen Peggy will take back the many territories from the hands of the Syat nobles. From now on, there will no longer be any land nobles, and all the land will belong to the Yadli royal family and the country.
However, all the extraordinary nobles are very clear about one thing, that is, they say that everything will be returned to the Yadley royal family and the country, but in reality, that is to let the Fisher family control everything!
Her Majesty Queen Peggy is nothing more than a puppet of the Fisher family!
"That is something that cannot be allowed! We will not give up our land. That was the agreement the first king made with us a hundred years ago!"
"If we really do this, it means that the Queen has betrayed us! The Fisher family will be the enemy of all the nobles of Siat!"
"Other matters are fine, but for the gods' sake, this matter cannot be agreed to! Your Majesty, you will not do something more evil than a heretical cult, right?"
The Syat extraordinary nobles who had been purged over the years had almost become a group of scattered sands. However, after the appearance of this rumor that could shake their foundation, everyone was subconsciously enraged and united, and there was even a momentum of fighting to the death!
No matter what, the land of the extraordinary lords is the bottom line!
However, just when everyone was filled with anger and panic, Duke Darren of the Fisher family took the lead and stepped forward to say that this was absolutely a rumor and that it was impossible for it to exist, and he hoped that everyone could rest assured.
Immediately afterwards, Her Majesty Queen Peggy also issued a public statement that the royal family would safeguard the interests of all extraordinary nobles and would never betray them.
So the public anger was finally calmed down and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, not long after, several leaders of the nobles' last united opposition were killed, and their deaths were silent and unnoticed by anyone.
Then, rumors resurfaced that Her Majesty Queen Paige was going to take all the land for the kingdom!
Many nobles were furious again, and accused the Fisher family of being cruel executioners. Some even went to report them to the Storm Church, saying that the murderer who killed those nobles must be the "God of Death" Chris! They even said that the Fisher family must have colluded with the heretical sect!
The Storm Church made a bet in the Syat Civil War and is now the largest church in Syat. They have suppressed the influence of the Redemption Church.
Nearly fifty percent of the population in Syat have become believers of the Church of the Storm.
Bishop Zain came forward and expressed his helplessness in the accusation of the extraordinary nobles, saying that there was no evidence at all.
He also sincerely expressed that in his understanding, the Fisher family was pious and pure.
"Lord of the Great Storm! I have never seen anyone more pious than Fischer. How could you frame them?"
"Hey, why is it raining?"
Although it rained heavily for no apparent reason right after he finished speaking that day, everyone understood the attitude of the Storm Church.
So just when everyone was planning to fight the Fisher family, Duke Darren suddenly appeared, and just when everyone thought he was going to go to war with everyone, the situation suddenly took an astonishing turn.
Duke Darren was also very angry, and then he led everyone to rush to Nasir's new palace which had not yet been fully built. He called out Queen Peggy in the middle of the night and told her angrily not to have any ulterior motives, otherwise the Fisher family might change the new king at any time!
Queen Peggy immediately begged for mercy in public.
"I swore to the gods that I would never..."
Everyone must be confused when seeing Queen Peggy trembling and making a "vow" to God. Is it really a misunderstanding?
After all, Queen Peggy has made a "vow", and if she dares to break the "vow", she will also be punished by God.
Soon, Duke Darren made a "pledge" in public, stating that the Fisher family would never support the royal family in taking back the nobles' land!
Therefore, the extraordinary nobles of Syat really breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, since Duke Darren and the Fisher family are both victims, they don't need to worry too much. After all, Queen Peggy is just a puppet anyway, and her personal thoughts will not produce any results.
It seems that those rumors are only half true and half false. Even if Queen Peggy has this idea, the largest lord, the Fisher family, will never agree.
In any case, they had already made a vow, so there was no need to worry.
So this time the angry nobles disbanded again, and everyone felt that everything was completely stable.
As a result, within a few months, the nobles who had attacked the palace together last time disappeared, were imprisoned, or were simply assassinated.
The Fisher family has completely stopped pretending, and everyone finally sees clearly that everything is a conspiracy of the "East Coast Devil"!
Darren Fisher Duke!
He is indeed the most sinister, despicable and cunning person in the Fischer family!
However, after seven years of repeated cleansing and filtering, all those who still had the courage to resist in Syat were gone, and the remaining nobles dared not speak out, and many were glad that they did not stand out.
It wasn't long before Queen Paige announced an attempt to start from the East Coast Province.
"We will conduct an experiment that will not involve other provinces, but will only carry out various reforms in the East Coast Province..."
"The nobles on the east coast still have the power to collect rent from the farmers, can become officials and be tax-exempt, and have various privileges such as carrying weapons, as well as generous annuities, allowances and rewards..."
"But they will no longer be able to form private armies, become extraordinary people without permission, or privately improve the level of their own extraordinary powers, or hide mysterious objects without permission... Those things must be applied for and approved by the kingdom."
"Siyat will reorganize a long-term 'Siyat Kingdom Army', and all the troops in the East Coast Province will be reorganized to become part of the standing army."
"All extraordinary people in the East Coast Province, whether they are bloodline knights or spellcasters, will be registered by the kingdom and will be uniformly managed by the new national department 'Raven'."
The only great noble family in the East Coast Province is the Fisher family. The remaining viscounts and nobles have also been deeply infiltrated by the Dawn Cult. There is at least one important member in each family who is a convert.
They all raised their hands in agreement and unanimously approved Queen Peggy's reform plan! And they all gave praises!
When the new reform measures came out, they immediately caused an uproar in Syat!
The greatest foundation of the extraordinary nobles has been shaken!
It's not a problem of land at all, but a more terrifying thing. From now on, they can no longer cultivate new supernatural powers as they please!
Christine, who was hiding behind the scenes, had already thought about it carefully. In this way, the source of the chaos caused by the fighting among many extraordinary nobles would be completely strangled!
At first they are just piloting it in the East Coast Province, but they will definitely promote it across the country in the future.
Christine truly felt that the "supernatural power that popped out of the ground" was the source of all the chaos.
No matter what, it must be curbed!
Most of the Syat nobles couldn't stand it. They felt that they were no longer nobles, but as if they had become slaves of the Yardley royal family... no, of the Fisher family!
But, that's no use.
Things have come to this point, because all the nobles in the East Coast Province have agreed, and the nobles in Syat who have the courage to resist have all been persecuted. Although the remaining many nobles are dissatisfied, they only dare to object a few words, and no one wants to start a new civil war.
Thus, the Fisher family began the first step of major extraordinary reforms and successfully avoided the possibility of a second civil war.
Darren slaughtered a large number of extraordinary nobles in six years, but the lives of civilians were not affected in the slightest, nor did he give other countries that were eyeing him the opportunity to invade.
