"Ow!"

At this moment, a taller gnoll wearing an iron armor let out a howl. Subsequently, the rioting gnolls returned to formation.

"Leader?" The leader of the spearmen reacted instantly. This group of gnolls was commanded by a leader. It was no wonder that they were able to persist for so long under the attack of the Zhenbei City army.

"One hundred and thirty meters ahead, the target is a tall gnoll in iron armor, covered with arrows!" After identifying the gnoll, the general ordered it directly.

When the archers heard the order, they first calculated the distance, and then raised their bows and arrows to start covering shots.

"Crash!"

The continuous sound of bowstrings sounded, and in the next second, a large number of arrows flew into the air, and a hundred arrows directly covered all the surroundings of the Gnoll leader's position, completely blocking any space for dodging, before it could continue. Commanding the army, he was nailed to the ground by a rain of arrows.

A large number of arrows penetrated the simple iron armor on his body, like a big hedgehog. The death of the leader made the gnoll team that had just stabilized become chaotic again. Some gnolls had already begun to flee, and under the combined attack of the pikemen, barbarian warriors, and archers, those gnolls were not opponents at all. Soon all the gnolls who resisted were beheaded.

Arrange for the capture of the captives, and the remaining soldiers begin to sweep the battlefield.

Su Lun stood not far away watching the end of the battle, and nodded secretly in his heart. He took the soldiers to inspect the territory, but when he came here, he happened to see the captain of the spearmen commanding the battle.

"Go and call the captain of the spearmen over." Su Lunchong ordered the attendant next to him. Soon a squire passed by on horseback, and at about the time of a cup of tea, a sturdy spearman captain with a scar on his face came to Su Lun, bowed and saluted.

"See Lord Lord."

"Get up!" Su Lun said with a smile.

"You commanded the battle just now?"

"Yes, Lord!" The soldier nodded.

Although he had seen it with his own eyes, Su Lun was still surprised. You must know that Su Lun did not train these soldiers in any command. This soldier was completely self-taught.

Thinking of this, Su Lun directly used the system to check the soldier's information. The system prompt sounded in his ears soon, but what surprised Su Lun was the content of the prompt.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you found a hero among your soldiers!"

New hero?

After hearing the system's prompt, Su Lun was shocked. He knew that the probability of breaking through from a soldier to a hero is very low.

Su Lun seriously looked at the spearman in front of him. His body was strong and tall, and he looked very well-proportioned.

"What's your name?" Sullen asked.

"Occam," the soldier replied.

Su Lun nodded and continued: "Your command just now was very good. You proved your valor and military ability. I am going to appoint you as a general! Are you willing to be loyal to me and fight for me?"

There was a hint of surprise on Occam's face, but it soon disappeared. He knelt on one knee in front of Su Lun, and said with a serious expression: "Lord Lord! I, Occam, are willing to be loyal to you and become your hands. The sharp sword will fight for you in all directions!"

As the voice fell, Su Lun's ear sounded the system's prompt sound again.

"Congratulations to the host, hero: Occam has pledged allegiance to you and asked to join your command. Do you agree?"

"agree!"

Then in the hero column of the system interface, Occam's name appeared, and his data also appeared in front of Su Lun.

Seeing Occam's attributes, Su Lun is quite satisfied. The third-level extraordinary strength is not high among heroes, but after becoming a hero, as long as he works hard and participates in a few more battles, he will soon be able to advance to the fourth-level. Moreover, Occam's attributes are different from those of Dwayne and Johnson. This is a commanding hero.

Although Dushi and Johnson are stronger than Occam, they belong to the kind of heroes who charge into formation. Although such heroes are powerful in themselves, they do not know how to arrange troops and march to fight. Now in Zhenbei City, they can take charge of themselves. The hero is only the succubus Kris, and the succubus Kris is not familiar with battle formations.

Occam happens to be a commander-type hero, which is very beneficial for the expansion of Zhenbei City.

Su Lun drew out his saber and placed it on Occam's shoulder, and pledged his allegiance according to the way of allegiance to a knight in this world.

"Very good." After the ceremony, Su Lun presented his saber to Occam, who was kneeling on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "From today onwards, you are the military commander of Mirror Lake City and the army of Mirror Lake City. Assigned to your subordinates, and at the same time you also serve as the Archon of Mirror Lake City, responsible for the construction of Mirror Lake City."

"Follow your orders!" Occam responded when he heard Su Lun's appointment.

Appointing Occam as the consul of Mirror Lake City is just a matter of interests. In Su Lun's idea, the military and administrative power of the city are two completely different lines. In the city, the two sides cooperate with each other, or contain each other to form a balance.

This kind of separation of civil and military is very necessary. If there are no such restrictions, when there are more territories and more generals in the future, there are no constraints, and those generals are likely to become emperors of the land.

Although these people declared their allegiance to Su Lun, their descendants are not necessarily. In order to prevent the emergence of such local separatist forces, Su Lun directly banned them from the root cause, but the current situation is a bit special, Su Lun does not have enough manpower at all.

After the official training base in Zhenbei City is upgraded in the future, a better training system will be established, and then qualified officials will be trained. At that time, Occam's rights will be revoked, and his place of employment will be changed.

In the future, Su Lun will also be canonized nobles. In this world, before you have the strength to break the rules, it is best to abide by the rules of this world. Although the aristocratic system has many shortcomings, it is very suitable for this era.

Of course, Sulun will not be like other countries. The nobles have absolute authority in their fiefs, and everything in the fiefs is controlled by the nobles. This is impossible. The nobles entrusted by Suren are like hereditary military commanders. They have their own army, but they have no jurisdiction over the territory. The jurisdiction belongs to the state, and the taxes in the fief are equally distributed between the state and the nobles.

In a city, although the nominal right to rule belongs to the lord, the lord does not control all the wealth. There are free people, merchants, and ordinary civilians in the city. These people own land and real estate, and these wealth belong to these people, although It belongs to the lord in name, but the lord only owns another part of the land or manor, and it is impossible for him to own it all.

According to the rules set by Suren, the canonized nobles own manors, castles, mansions, and knights, but the army that maintains the city must be owned by the state. The nobles can only keep their own private soldiers, and all the land except the lord's fief , all under the name of the Principality, those free people, merchants, etc. are also the subjects of the Principality.

The laws in the territory are consistent with that of the duchy, which means that the nobles can keep their wealth, but the management power, ruling power, laws, etc. of the city belong to the duchy. Of course, being a noble can also hold positions in the duchy, and the status of aristocrat does not affect these.

As for the sudden change from the feudal lord sub-feudal system to the feudal county centralized system, Su Lun did not think about it. Although he has a system, the loyalty in the system cannot be forced to lock the full value. Only those who use their own hero templates can Force lock.

Once he implements the county system, those nobles who don't get enough benefits will definitely be reluctant. After all, being a local emperor and a local rich man, as long as you are not stupid, you will know which one is better. At that time there will even be defection. After all, the surrounding countries are all enfeoffment systems.

So Suren decided to use this approach to centralize power.

In fact, Suren didn't care much about the wealth and the like, but the population and the land. The foundations of a nation are built on population and land.

Su Lun has also studied the feudal system in Florence and surrounding countries. Although the feudal system allows nobles to be emperors in the territory, they still need to pay taxes to the upper-level nobles, usually half, of course, the lord's own property belongs to him. my own.

These taxes will be divided step by step, and finally enter the king, so as long as there is no problem, the king will always be the most powerful. Of course, in this extraordinary world, many times, changes will occur, for example, the emergence of a legend.

In fact, the law of this world is still the law of the weak.

After inspecting the progress of Mirror Lake City, Su Lun handed over the development plan of Mirror Lake City to Occam, and then returned to Zhenbei City with the army.
