Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Sauron watched them, a cold sneer in his heart.

These nobles were all clever people, they knew how to protect themselves in the game of power.

These people would never easily admit their mistakes, even when facing the threat of death.

He turned to look at Jennifer and instructed, "Dispose of these bodies properly, and don't let anyone mention this again."

Jennifer nodded, she understood Sauron's meaning.

These bodies had to be destroyed to avoid causing bigger trouble.

Viscount Madoc's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

He understood that he had been abandoned.

"Viscount Madoc, I won't doubt your loyalty to the Empire, but it still needs to be reported to the Imperial City," Sauron said, then had people take Viscount Madoc away, preparing to send him to the Imperial City for questioning.

Sauron's orders were quickly carried out, and the bodies were quickly cleaned up, disappearing from people's sight.

The identities and deaths of these wandering knights also became a secret of Furgia City, never to be mentioned again.

Anyway, as long as it was related to rebellion, the Empire's attitude was to rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go.

The fertilizer workshop turmoil came to an end, and those old nobles who had suffered in silence, although they were gnashing their teeth at Sauron, no one dared to jump out again.

In the end, it still came down to strength; Sauron's return from the Imperial City this time, in addition to bringing a large amount of supplies, also brought a powerful military force.

The Royal Guards Knights Regiment that was originally taken back returned in full strength with ten thousand riders, and there was also a full-strength ten thousand crossbow cavalry.

Now, among the Northwest garrison, the full-strength Royal Guards Knights Regiment is the strongest combat force in the Northwest, and the crossbow cavalry has been expanded to forty thousand.

In addition, there were two new conscript legions of two hundred thousand directly under the Imperial City, and one veteran legion of one hundred thousand directly under the Imperial City,

Coupled with the local garrisons of the court nobles, the deployable forces exceeded four hundred thousand.

This was still because Sauron had transferred back two Imperial City legions, otherwise, the Northwest nobles would have been suffocated.

After all, anyone who woke up and saw hundreds of thousands of troops stationed at their doorstep would feel their scalp tingle.

Sauron's return undoubtedly brought stability and strength to the Northwest region, and also made those nobles who were originally dissatisfied have to re-evaluate their position.

The combat effectiveness of the new conscript legions was witnessed by the Northwest nobles; under the leadership of Countess Fiana,

The court nobles transferred all the garrisons under their command to Sauron for training, while their original garrisons were guarded by the Imperial City legions.

In order to facilitate dispatch and stationing, Sauron mixed the three Imperial City legions, combining new and veteran soldiers, into six Northwest legions.

The Northwest First Legion was stationed in the Stamm area, responsible for guarding against the orc armies that were ready to move in the northern wilderness.

The Second Legion was stationed in the Silron area, a exclave located in the Willis Province, surrounded by the fiefdoms of the old Northwest nobles.

However, this area is mountainous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the past, the garrison in this area also had ten thousand troops, which was considered the strongest force among the Northwest court nobles.

The Third and Fourth Legions were stationed in other important locations in the Northwest, in case of emergencies.

The positions of these two legions were very clever. No matter whether there were any changes in the Stamm area or the Silron area, they could provide the fastest support.

The Fifth and Sixth Legions guarded Furgia City, and the original garrisons controlling the fiefdoms of the court nobles were temporarily changed to the Northwest Provisional First Legion.

This layout made the defense of the Northwest region more solid, and also made the Northwest nobles realize that Sauron was not only a prince, but also a strategist. Every step he took was carefully considered, aimed at ensuring the safety and stability of the Northwest region.

At least from now on, if the Northwest nobles broke out in conflict, it would no longer be a matter of both sides pulling out their private armies to fight. They had to report to His Highness the Prince, and Sauron would make the decision.

This showed Sauron's authority and control in the Northwest region. Even the former Northwest King, Prince Corin, may not have had as strong control as Sauron.

After Sauron arranged all this, he began to distribute the purple melon seedlings and fertilizer bricks.

Because many of the new nobles had stabbed him in the back during this return to the Imperial City, Sauron distributed the largest share to the court nobles and several new nobles who had risen through military exploits.

Among them, Viscount West's territory was Sauron's key development target.

To go to the Norahan Maze, one must pass through Viscount West's territory. For Sauron, in addition to huge business opportunities, it was also the best monitoring location for the Norahan Maze.

For this reason, Sauron also spent the night in his territory.

At night, Viscount West specially held a grand welcome party for Sauron. Although Viscount West had tried his best to do the best he could, in Sauron's eyes, it still seemed a bit simple.

However, Sauron didn't care about this. He knew that Viscount West had already tried his best.

This welcome party was more about expressing respect and welcome to Sauron, rather than luxury and ostentation. Late at night, Sauron and Viscount West sat opposite each other, their eyes meeting in the dim light, and the atmosphere seemed a little tense.

Viscount West looked embarrassed, and he said cautiously: "Your Highness, I understand what you mean,

It's just that if you want to control the Norahan Maze, it's impossible with my family's strength alone. Not to mention that in the other direction of the Norahan Maze is the territory of Earl Balureya. I heard that some time ago, Earl Balureya's knights wanted to collect taxes in the maze, but they were killed by passing adventurers."

Sauron was immediately filled with embarrassment.

He couldn't possibly say that he killed those people, could he!

The real reason why this Earl Balureya had fallen to collecting maze taxes was because Prince Corin had rebelled, and he had been coerced into sending troops. When Prince Corin showed signs of decline, he rebelled at the first moment, making amends for his crime.

However, he was also taken back by the emperor for a city fiefdom because of this. Although he is still an earl, his current territory is not much larger than that of Viscount West.

Losing city tax revenue made it impossible to maintain the original expenses of his family, so he turned his attention to the Norahan Maze.

Sauron said: "I'm not asking you to learn from Balureya, but to build a market town around the Norahan Maze to facilitate adventurers' supplies and rest."

Viscount West immediately understood, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

Viscount West asked with a guilty conscience: "Your Highness, I'm worried that Earl Balureya will see the business opportunities in the maze and want to get involved."

After all, if a real fight broke out, he knew that he might not be able to stop Earl Balureya's private army.

He still understood the principle that a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Sauron smiled slightly. He knew Viscount West's worries, and he naturally had a complete plan.
