The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 69 The Ministry of Internal Affairs

"No, no! Your lord! What I said is true! Really!"

Shushu is still struggling, trying to redeem something, but since the lord doesn't believe it, no one else will believe his nonsense.

"Geralt, tell him to shut up."

"Yes!"

Geralt slammed the slave rat's head with the hilt of his sword, which made him stop screaming, leaving only a pair of vicious eyes to keep looking around.

"Don't try to escape! Beast!"

Soon, the team chasing the slave mouse from a distance also came to Ickert. Seeing Ikert, the clan mouse immediately knelt down and said:

"Clan Chief!"

"What's the matter, why are you chasing this mouse?"

Ickert asked, not giving them a good look.

Allowing the slave rats to escape under their noses, these clan rats really came back alive.

"Clan chief, this guy dug out of the camp on the pretext of going to the toilet, and didn't find him running away until we counted the number of rats. Chief Genier ordered our team to chase him!"

The Clan Rat reported the truth, and glanced at the cave monitor lizard aside, not daring to hide anything.

When the slave rat heard that the incident was revealed, he began to curse the ratmen of the team angrily on the spot, and his hysterical appearance fully exposed the lies just now.

"Do you know, this mouse said just now that you guys rebelled, and now it's going crazy here, it's really a stupid mouse!"

Ickert looked at the expression of the clan rat while talking, and tried to make him bite the rat's tail with a spiritual contract.

The other party complied, and there was no resistance, which is good. The mouse that was instigated will resist the order to hurt itself from the heart, and the loyalty of the clan mouse is still guaranteed.

Now it seems that there is really nothing serious in the territory.

"Let's go, you guys came just in time, go ahead and make way for the team."

"Yesyes, but the clan chief, what should we do with this slave rat?"

The clan rat pointed at the slave rat, which made the rat who had been cursing everyone just now calm down, and immediately began to beg for mercy.

Even cave monitor lizards can't figure out this behavior pattern.

"This mouse will be imprisoned in the dungeon of the castle first, and I will take care of him in my own way."

"Prison? Teacher, don't we behead him for public display?"

Sasha asked, according to the teacher's temper, this kind of rat is usually hacked to death on the spot, even if it is not killed on the spot, it must be killed in front of the rat man.

But in fact, Ickert is not in a hurry. This mouse will be shown to the public, but it will be shown in another way.

"There's no need to hack him to death now, maybe she will beg me to behead him soon."

"she?"

Sasha pondered Ickert's words, not understanding why the teacher emphasized this.

But since the teacher said so, she can only temporarily hide her doubts in her heart.

After dealing with the slave rat, Ickert finally led the team back to the camp.

Seeing this, Jeniel and Yarrow immediately came together, and Ickert asked them to punish the ratman team that had gone wrong, and reduced their food supply, and the matter came to an end.

His return should also dispel some rat people's little thoughts.

It's just that the appearance of this slave rat made Ickert realize that the ratmen in the territory lack the "subjective initiative" to be cruel to their compatriots, which is not acceptable.

The reason for this should be the old commandment of the Love Clan - "To frame others is to frame oneself".

It is true that this commandment can effectively prevent the Ratmen from messing up their positions and killing each other, but it is a little bit worse in maintaining the political order of the territory.

For this reason, Ickert plans to upgrade Yarrow's Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In the middle of the night, after draining the last trace of the cave monitor lizard's magic power, Ikert threw it directly into the dungeon and locked it in the next room to the slave rat.

Ickert didn't care about the sleep quality of the slave rat, as long as he was alive to receive the injection.

Early the next morning, Ickert called Genil and Yarrow over again, intending to learn about the current situation in the territory and make arrangements.

"Yaro, the role of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not been realized, but now, the territory can no longer bear the chaotic order of the rat people, so I want to expand your team and take on more important tasks."

"I'm honored! Your lord!"

Yarrow responded excitedly, but Genil was a little disapproving. He is now the leader of the territory's army, and he doesn't think anyone can threaten his position.

"First of all, we have to determine how many reliable Ratmen are currently in the territory. Otherwise, there will not be enough manpower to spread out the construction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Yaluo, you have a relatively clear calculation in this regard, and report to me."

"Yes, lord, as of yesterday, all teams in the territory have selected their own model mice. The list is only waiting for your signature and approval. There are a total of 40 model mice in the camp. The model mouse has not yet reached the selection date, so it is zero. .”

"Well, the pacesetter mice are our backbone at the grassroots level. The more such mice the better, I'm planning to recruit the best ones, and you will manage them in a unified manner and be directly responsible to me."

Ickert planned that, in fact, it is not just the pacesetter rats, the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also needs older Stormrats and Clan Rats, so that they can play the role of monitoring internal affairs.

But these words made Genil a little reluctant. Although he didn't know the specific role of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was a bit difficult for the mouse to accept someone directly from him.

"Uh, Clan Chief, our team has just been established, and the pacesetters haven't grown up yet. If they are deployed now, the clan rats will be overwhelmed."

"Don't worry, I'm mainly not smoking rats, I'm directly drawing teams."

"Draw the team?"

Jenier thought about it left and right, but never thought that Ickert would directly transfer the team
"Yes, but don't worry, the education camp needs a backbone force, so I will not move the best team of each brigade, but will draw the second echelon from it,
Each brigade will send out a small team, and then four clan rats will be selected from each brigade headquarters, and a Stormrat will be drawn from the battalion headquarters to form the prototype of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is how it was decided. "

Ickert said without a doubt, then called Yarrow and walked out the door.

"You and I are now going to look for rats in person. You don't need to worry about the cruelty of the same kind. Loyalty only needs to be possessed by those in important positions. Pay special attention to finding those who have strong desires and are easy to control.
Pay attention, if there is anything that does not meet the requirements, you will be decisively rejected. Don’t hesitate, the rats that come in must also be strict with them. I will formulate the rules of your Ministry of Internal Affairs later. "

"Obey! I, Yaluo, promise to satisfy you! Your lord!"

Yarrow said happily that after Genil became the head of the military power, he finally ushered in the peak of his power.
