Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 351 Treat, Behead, Accept as a Dog (Today's Ten Thousand Updates)
There are also Beyonders among the members of the autonomous association, but their highest Sequence is only Sequence 7.

At this time, Odysseus shot and killed a member of the autonomous association with one shot, which made them angry after a brief surprise. They stood up one by one and made gestures to prepare for attack.

But Odysseus continued to provoke them: "Are you deaf? What did this person lying on the table just say?"

Just as the autonomous association members were about to take action, Baron Darnell suddenly said, "He just said that we will obey the governor's arrangements."

Odysseus then smiled and said, "So he supports me. Sorry, I fired too early. Next time I will make you finish your words."

Wells, who was following behind Odysseus, twitched his lips: He is dead, there will be a next time?

The other members of the autonomous association looked at the president, not understanding why he responded in this way.

Odysseus immediately put away his gun and said, "I want to form a state parliament. Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, representatives of nobles, bandits, and merchants will all go to the state government to discuss the establishment of the parliament."

Everyone was stunned, and then they realized that this governor was not a brainless young man. He wanted to change the autonomous association into a state assembly.

But this change must be made at the governor's instruction.

Specifically, the autonomous association has no affiliation with the governor, but the newly formed state legislature must obey the governor's orders while protecting everyone's rights.

Of course, this was the new governor's idea in theory, but the members of the autonomous association all laughed when they heard this, because as long as they had the status of state legislators, they would still be the actual rulers of Wotai State.

As Odysseus walked out, he said, "Sorry to bother you all. See you tomorrow."

After the new governor came downstairs, the members of the autonomous association looked at the president, Baron Daniel.

The baron said calmly, "Didn't you realize that he was deliberately provoking you?

"I received some vague information from Bishop Casey. The new governor is a very powerful Beyonder. If you had dared to take action just now, he would have killed all of you."

Everyone shuddered and came to the window to look into the yard.

At this time, Odysseus was leading his men into the yard, but the patrol team of the State Guard ignored these people and let them go!

Unlike the officials in Wells, most of them had experienced some extraordinary battles and would not think that those soldiers were rebels.

Now they believe that the new governor is truly a powerful extraordinary person.

At this time, they looked at each other, and finally one member said first: "Are you going tomorrow?"

Most members did not express their opinions because, except for a few people like Baron Daniel, they were just representatives and had no power to make such an important decision.

After a few seconds of silence in the conference room, a member suddenly said, "It's hard to say whether the new governor can stay in Wotai City tomorrow."

The people around immediately understood what the other party meant and looked at the corpse lying on the table.

That was the cousin of Edmund, the commander of the state guard. Edmund was also a powerful extraordinary person. His cousin was killed like this, so he would definitely seek revenge on the new governor.

And no matter how powerful the new governor is, he only has a few hundred men, and he is likely to be driven out by state guards who outnumber him several times.

……

At this time, Odysseus and others returned to the carriage again. This time, Odysseus and Wells were sitting in the same carriage, and he learned from Wells the power represented by the person he killed today.

Odysseus smiled and said, "The opportunity to establish your authority has come."

Wells on the side swallowed his saliva. He felt the strength of the new governor and became somewhat shaken. He was wondering whether he should quickly join the new governor.

However, he hesitated for a long time and still did not express his loyalty.

Because Baron Daniel and his people have been the powerful people in this land for generations, their status has been deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone in this land.

The state government is a dilapidated office building with a small yard that is even overgrown with weeds in some places.

Compared with the building where the local council held meetings before, it was like the difference between a mansion and a slum.

State government employees were waiting to greet us at the door.

After briefly greeting them, Odysseus walked inside and asked Wells, "Who owns the building of the autonomous association?"

"I'm not sure exactly," Wells replied vaguely. "I just know it's property owned by the autonomous association."

Odysseus hummed, then asked, "Who's in charge of the state government's reception?"

A middle-aged woman following behind stepped forward and said, "Mr. Governor, I am the administrator."

"Clean up the state government meeting room to receive the autonomous association members tomorrow," Odysseus said. "Also, arrange food and lodging for me and my entourage. I'll give everyone a half-day off in the afternoon, but be prepared; you may have to work overtime in the evening."

Everyone was stunned and didn't understand why the governor made such an arrangement?

But before they could say anything, Odysseus continued, "When I came here, the senior officials promised me that as soon as I took office, the provincial government would give me a large sum of money.

“From now on, the salaries of state government employees will be paid uniformly by the state government.”

When everyone heard this, smiles gradually appeared on their faces, and they felt that it was not impossible to work overtime in the evening.

They did not think that the new governor would lie about such a thing, because if he wanted to carry out his work, he would definitely need some subordinates, and the soldiers he brought were obviously not capable of administrative work.

Then the best way is to bribe them with money and let them continue working.

The governor's official residence is not far from the state government. It is as dilapidated as the state government, and no one knows who has rented out some of the houses in the yard.

Odysseus did not pursue the matter, and generously paid out of his own pocket to refund the tenants double the rent, requiring them to move out before that evening.

This is also for their own good, because this place has become very dangerous since the new governor moved in.

After settling in, Odysseus looked at the worn-out furniture in his room and called Roxanne, the clerk, to buy a batch of new sheets, pillows, tableware and other items, and then replace some of the furniture that was really worn out.

When Odysseus left Azshara, he went to the bank to exchange 1000 pounds for 5000 Sassen. After arriving in the city of Wotai, he found that there were too many places to spend money.

Although the place is a little shabby, it is very spacious. Odysseus has a separate dining room where he and Bernadette have lunch together.

Odysseus glanced around and said, "We need to redecorate it. A house this big will cost two to three thousand pounds even for a simple renovation."

Bernadette took a sip of soup and said, “When I came here, I noticed that the people here looked pretty good. They probably don’t often go hungry.

"But their clothes were shabby, their houses and shops looked run-down, and most of the streetlights were broken."

She put down the spoon and said, "This place is really too poor. Are you planning to pay for the initial investment and expenses yourself?"

"Of course not." Odysseus smiled and said, "Someone will send money soon."

Bernadette was stunned: "You are not planning to auction off the state legislator's seat?"

"I..." Odysseus was about to say, "Why would I resort to such low-level tactics?" But he felt it was inappropriate to say so, so he paused briefly before continuing, "I think the autonomous association's office building is great. Could the state government have offices there in the future?"

Bernadette looked at Odysseus and asked, "Are you planning to rob?"

"Don't say it so harshly." Odysseus smiled and said, "They donated it voluntarily. They were so enthusiastic that I couldn't refuse."

Bernadette leaned back in her chair, a little confused about what Odysseus was going to do.

But she didn't ask any more questions, because for some "dramas", the most exciting moment is when the truth comes out.

The two chatted for a while, and then Odysseus went to the state government to officially start his work.

Bernadette's "invisible servant" still follows Odysseus closely, watching the show while also protecting him.

Odysseus was already accustomed to this and just did what he had to do.

At this time, only Odysseus and others were left in the state government, and the other staff members were on vacation.

As Odysseus had expected, around three in the afternoon, the state guard, consisting of hundreds of men, surrounded the state government.

Long Zeer, who was well prepared, immediately ordered the "Extraordinary Puppet" to enter combat status and confronted the other party at the gate of the state government.

Odysseus looked at the densely packed streets with state government members, and then looked at the rooftops in the distance, where many people were watching.

He smiled and seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps to his "invisible servants," saying, "The audience is here."

At this time, the state guards at the gate of the state government suddenly retreated a short distance, and Commander Edmund's adjutant stepped forward and said he wanted to talk to the new governor.

Odysseus met with the other party in the governor's office. When the two met, Odysseus did not speak politely to the other party and asked coldly: "If I remember correctly, the Constitution of Lenburg stipulates that the governor is the supreme commander of the state guard.

"I don't recall giving any orders to mobilize the State Guard here."

The adjutant was stunned for a moment before saying, "We just want to be inspected by the governor!"

Odysseus said: “I have finished my inspection. In my opinion, raising a group of dogs is more competent than you.

"Okay, you can get out."

The adjutant, who was not even thirty years old, suppressed his anger and said, "One more thing..."

Odysseus sighed in his heart: After all these years of turmoil, none of the officials who survived in Wotai State are fools.

He had tried his best to be arrogant today. If he were on the sea, he would have exceeded the pirates' tolerance.

But there are still many people here who can still endure it.

The adjutant took another deep breath, and his tone returned to normal: "...We are here to arrest the murderer who killed the State Guard officer. We hope you can hand him over."

Odysseus sighed: "That state guard commander is no ordinary man. Clearly, with the situation unclear, he didn't intend to completely antagonize the new governor. But this matter couldn't be treated as if nothing had happened. So, they hoped to hand over an insignificant person as a scapegoat and let this matter go."

Odysseus thought it was appropriate to hand over the suspicious clerk Roxanne.

But after thinking about it for a while, he still felt that he had to establish his authority today so that things would go more smoothly in the future.

So Odysseus simply said: “I now declare that the state guards have illegally assembled and attempted to attack the state government.

"Governor Odis Garr has determined that the State Guard is an illegal organization and is disbanded immediately."

The adjutant opened his mouth, thinking back on the previous conversation, and making sure that he had exercised great restraint and had no intention of angering the new governor.

But...but is this governor ill? Why is he reacting like this?
But soon, the adjutant reacted and said seriously: "I will convey your meaning."

Odysseus said "hmm" and waved his hand, indicating that the other party could leave.

Then, without giving the commander of the State Guard any time to react, he ordered the Extraordinary Puppet to shout with a loudspeaker: "Governor Odis Garr orders that the State Guard is an illegal organization and is to be disbanded immediately.

"In three minutes, we will launch an attack on the State Guard. Anyone wearing a State Guard uniform will be our target."

Odysseus clearly saw the astonishment of the state guards and the surprised expressions of the people standing on the rooftops in the distance.

He smiled and thought: Being extraordinary also has its advantages. If I didn't have extraordinary powers, with just a small person like me, if I really dared to do this, it would be almost like seeking death.

At noon, the "Extraordinary Puppet" had been re-equipped with heavy weapons, but it was not equipped with a "portable spiritual wave cannon". A few more shots from that thing would likely wipe the city of Wotai off the map.

Odysseus intended to establish his own power here, not to massacre the city.

At this time, the angry state guard members first opened fire on the "Extraordinary Puppet".

Da da da da da ~
The "extraordinary puppets" who had been holding machine guns immediately opened fire on the state guard members on the street.

The state guard members fell down immediately. Only then did they react and started looking for cover.

The State Guard also had machine guns and artillery.

However, in urban areas, it is obviously not possible to use artillery.

Then several machine guns of the State Guard began to fire back, and the "Extraordinary Puppet" quickly hid behind the wall.

Edmund, the commander of the State Guard, realized this was a good opportunity and immediately ordered his members to charge.

In Edmund's opinion, although the governor's guards had strong firepower, they were just a small number of people. As long as they rushed into the yard, they could be defeated quickly.

Just as the soldiers rushed closer, several huge grenades flew out from inside.

The grassroots commander who was rushing in the front just loudly reminded the soldiers to be careful of grenades. The soldiers were experienced in combat and did not gather in a group to charge. Instead, they formed a dispersed formation, leaving enough space to avoid the explosion of grenades.

Or there is enough space to avoid the explosion of an ordinary grenade.

Boom~Boom~
As the huge grenades exploded one after another and the flames of the violent explosions disappeared, the street in front of the state government suddenly turned into a living hell, with broken limbs, internal organs, and flesh and blood scattered all over the ground.

Then some survivors who were farther away from the center of the explosion began to scream. They were also seriously injured or severely burned.

Edmund, who was commanding in the rear, was in a daze for a moment. Not only him, but also the adjutant and several other officers of the state guard, as well as the spies from other forces on the roof were all stunned.

I wondered whether the new governor's subordinates threw grenades or artillery shells?

Are artillery shells not so powerful?

When the Extraordinary Puppet started firing again at the door with a machine gun, Edmond suddenly came to his senses: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

He didn't need to shout, the members of the State Guard ran faster than rabbits, and these hundreds of people immediately scattered.

The "Extraordinary Puppet" immediately chased out, with the machine gunner firing in the front and the Extraordinary Puppet holding a semi-automatic rifle following behind to finish off the attack.

Edmund immediately came to the end of the team and raised his hand towards the Extraordinary Puppets: "Distort!"

Bullets from both machine guns and semi-automatic rifles deviated from their original trajectories and hit the walls on both sides of the street.

The commander of the state guard knew very well that in the chaotic state of Wotai, the soldiers under his command were his greatest asset. Only when he had enough soldiers could he have a say.

In the brief fight just now, it seemed that hundreds of soldiers had died, but it had not yet affected his overall strength and status.

But if his subordinates continued to die, it would be a disaster, so he simply stayed behind to cover the soldiers.

Seeing this, Odysseus kicked open the office window and flew out of the office on the second floor.

Seeing this, Longzel, who was about to rush up to fight Edmund, immediately raised his hand and asked the "Extraordinary Puppets" to stop shooting.

Odysseus had already noticed that the commander of this state guard was a Sequence 6 "Corrupted Baron", and he could kill him with two lightning bolts from the "Scepter of Disaster".

However, Odysseus did not choose to do so. Instead, he drew out the "Staff of Gus" and condensed the "Star Sand" at the head of the staff, forming a straight sword shining with starlight.

He wanted to defeat Edmund head-on, as this would be the most impactful to the local forces.

When Edmund saw the new governor taking action personally, his expression suddenly became serious, because the weapon in the new governor's hand looked very advanced, and he should be a very difficult enemy to deal with.

He kicked a stump at the new governor, completing the "bribe" process, and then used the classic "lawyer" combination: "Narrow down!"

The spies around were so focused at this moment that they didn't even dare to blink.

Many of them had seen the commander of the state guard fighting with others. Usually, as long as he used the ability of "weakening", the commander's enemy would become very weak, and Edmund could win relatively easily.

But the new governor did not seem to be getting weak. He held a straight sword with shining starlight in his hand and stabbed Edmund fiercely, forcing the chief of the state guard to dodge in a very embarrassed manner.

At this time, the straight sword in Odysseus's hand suddenly became longer and stabbed towards Edmund again. The commander of the state guard stepped back suddenly and was almost stabbed.

Odysseus suddenly smiled and said, "You are no match for me."

In fact, Odysseus realized this when he first saw the commander. He said this only to the spies who were watching the battle.

Edmund looked at Odysseus in horror: "I...I..."

Odysseus did not give him a chance to beg for mercy. He raised the Starlight Sword in his hand, and dozens of sharp ice cones formed in the air, piercing towards Edmund like javelins.

This is the "witchcraft" invented by Odysseus, and it is not an imitation of extraordinary abilities from other channels, so it does not need the "Staff of Gus" to gather into the "Gal Rune".

Or in other words, in Odysseus's view, the opponent can be completely defeated by using "witchcraft".

Edmund immediately concentrated his energy and "distorted" the trajectories of the ice cones.

The icicles pierced the ground one by one, and none of them hit Edmund, but a bright starlight flashed before his eyes.

That was the Starlight Straight Sword in Odysseus's hand. He took advantage of Edmund dodging the ice cone and struck him in the neck with the sword.

Edmund fell to his knees in shock, and his head fell to the ground.

The state guards who were fleeing stopped and were stunned by what they saw. The spies on the roof holding binoculars were also stunned.

The Beyonder, who they had always considered the most powerful in Wotai City, was completely powerless in front of the new governor! Odysseus immediately ordered, "Continue the pursuit until no one in Wotai City is wearing the uniform of the State Guard anymore."

The "Extraordinary Puppets" raised their guns again. The adjutant of the state guard who had just talked to Odysseus quickly took off his hat and began to take off his uniform.

The others immediately understood and began to follow suit.

When they took off their coats and trousers, the soldiers of the "Governor's Guard" did not continue to pursue them, so they left here in fear.

After Odysseus picked up Edmund's extraordinary characteristics, he said to Longzel, "Go and inform the state government officials and staff to come back to work.

"Let them clean up here, remember, let them clean up, don't interfere.

"Also, have someone fix my window."

In Odysseus's view, these corpses still have value.

Later, Odysseus saw the astonishment of the state officials through the window of his official residence, and then they vomited and cleaned up the broken limbs on the ground.

Bernadette, who was standing by, commented, "The effect of establishing authority is quite good."

"It's okay." Odysseus smiled and said, "It would be great if the commander could hold out a few more rounds."

Bernadette glanced at Odysseus before saying, "This is a small city after all. An official Beyonder with a Sequence 6 is considered good."

Odysseus hummed. According to some intelligence he had obtained, the commander of this state guard was originally a Sequence 7, and it seemed that he had only been given the opportunity in recent years to be promoted to Sequence 6.

Before Odysseus came, besides Edmund, the only other Sequence 6 here was the Church of Knowledge.

This is also the reason why Odysseus chose to come to the western province without any pressure, because a Sequence 5 coming here can basically beat the Beyonders here.

Among those bandit troops, there might be Sequence 5s sent from other countries.

But for Odysseus, one or two Sequence 5s pose no threat to him.

……

In the large conference room of the autonomous association.

More than a dozen members of the autonomous association sat there, not one speaking.

At this time, another baron, Devon Demps, said, "Since you dare not express any opinions, then I will speak first. I will send someone to talk to the new governor."

A member of the autonomous association sitting below him reminded him, "He said he wanted you to go, not to send someone."

"I'll just send someone to talk to him and find out what he means." Dewen said nonchalantly, "You're afraid of him, but I'm not. No matter how powerful he is, would he dare to kill Baron Daniel and me?"

Daniel cleared his throat helplessly, not understanding why old Baron Dempsey would allow such a fool to inherit the title.

Darnell had no choice but to say, "I will send my son, and I will send Dick."

That was Darnell's family heir, and in his opinion, this was already a great respect for the new governor.

Moreover, this arrangement will provide a buffer space if there are any disagreements with the new governor.

The main reason why he attached so much importance to it was because the new governor had both a knowledge church background and was so powerful.

If the new governor had only met one of these two conditions, he would not have reacted in this way. Now that both conditions have been met, it means that the church must intervene in the affairs of western Lenburg without violating the agreement with the royal family.

Although they are nobles from a small place, they still have the vision and perspective they should have.

Then Baron Darnell said to the other members: "I suggest you go too."

After learning the president's attitude, the other members nodded slowly.

……

So early the next morning, most of the members of the autonomous association came to the state government in carriages.

When they passed the gate of the state government, they could vaguely see bloodstains and deep craters caused by the explosion.

However, the deep pits were filled with new soil, and the blood-stained ground was covered as much as possible, but some traces could still be seen.

Long Ze'er, who was in charge of security, watched the members of the autonomous association come in one by one without taking it too seriously, but the officials and staff of the state government were very excited.

Before Odysseus came, the members of the autonomous association were the real rulers of Wotai City. Usually, officials from the state government went to the autonomous association's office building to report on their work. Unexpectedly, they also came to the state government's conference room today.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Odysseus leisurely arrived at the conference room. After closing the door, he looked at the dozen or so people in the room and asked, "Please introduce yourselves first."

Entering with him was Bernadette's "invisible servant".

None of the members of the autonomous association spoke. Yesterday, they didn't feel any pressure to meet the new governor, but after what happened with the State Guard yesterday, they suddenly felt a lot of pressure today.

As he spoke, Odysseus sat on the top chair and glanced at the people in front of him: "Speak!"

Everyone then began to introduce themselves one by one. Two of them were representatives sent by the baron, one was Baron Daniel's eldest son, and the other was Baron Dempsey's personal servant.

There are also five "local representatives", who are actually representatives of five bandit armies.

Three of them were sent by the leaders of the three largest bandit groups, and the other two were representatives jointly elected by other small bandit groups.

There are also five "business representatives", most of whom are the two barons' men, mainly engaged in some monopoly industries in Wotai State.

After everyone introduced themselves, they all looked at Odysseus, waiting for him to talk about the state assembly.

Odysseus looked around at them before saying, "I want to build a train station in Wotai City and a railway from here to Solotu City."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression.

Weren't we supposed to discuss the state assembly? Why are we suddenly talking about the train station?
The reason why they were so surprised was that Wotai State had long wanted to have its own railway station, but because it was a mountainous area, building a railway would require digging many tunnels. This section of railway, which was only a few dozen kilometers long, would be extremely expensive, so this railway had never been built.

The new governor, however, vowed to build a railway right from the start, and from what he said, it seemed that the preliminary work for this matter had been almost done, as if construction could start tomorrow.

At the same time, they don’t quite understand what this matter has to do with the state legislature?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Odysseus knew that what he had just said had achieved the desired effect and completely disrupted all their preparations.

Odysseus then continued, "Azshara will invest part of the cost of building this railway. The boxes I brought here are the first investment, but we still need to raise some money ourselves."

Everyone nodded slowly, feeling that this was very reasonable, but they didn't know how much they would have to raise on their own.
Bernadette, who was following the meeting with her "invisible servants," thought to herself: Isn't this similar to auctioning off state legislators?

But then she thought: That's not right. Wasn't it Odysseus who wanted to build this railway? When did Azshara say she would finance it?
Only then did she realize that this was probably just part of Odysseus's plan.

In the conference room, Odysseus continued, "There are two hereditary seats in the state assembly."

He glanced at the two nobles and said, "These are hereditary seats that will be recognized by the Renburg government. As long as you are willing to invest 30 sassens in the construction of the railway, these two seats will be yours."

30 sassens, equivalent to 6 pounds.

The valet didn't quite understand what the new governor meant, but Baron Darnell's son Dick took a deep breath and immediately became excited.

Since the reform of the Lenburg government, the two barons in the city of Wotai have been away from the center of power.

Although Baron Daniel has taken the opportunity to establish an autonomous association and regain the governance of the city of Wotai, the autonomous association is not an organization recognized by the Lenburg government after all, and it cannot be dissolved at will.

The hereditary seat in the state parliament is equivalent to a ticket back to the center of power in the state of Votai. They are willing to pay not only 30 saxons, but also 60 saxons.

Dick had no doubts about Odysseus's promise of a "hereditary seat". His father had talked to him seriously about the new governor yesterday. This was his judgment based on the attitude of the Church of Knowledge towards the new governor and the new governor's strength.

But Dick couldn't make a decision on such a big matter, so he said, "Mr. Governor, I...please allow me to discuss this with my father."

Odysseus frowned, looked at the other "noble representative," and asked knowingly, "You can't make the decision, right?"

The other party was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Ah! Yes, I can't make the decision either."

slap~
Odysseus slammed the table, and the huge conference table collapsed directly. The loud noise scared the other members.

Then Odysseus pointed at the two noble representatives and said, "Get out!"

Dick smiled and said, "Mr. Governor, please don't be angry. The main reason is that we didn't know you were talking about building a train station and a railway."

Odysseus sneered and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, let the person who can make the decision in your family come here.

"Otherwise, I'll think you've given up that hereditary seat."

"Yes, yes, yes." Dick quickly stood up and walked out quickly, wanting to discuss this matter with his father as soon as possible.

The valet also followed him out to report the situation to his master.

The conference room was silent for a few seconds before Odysseus looked at the five "local representatives": "If I'm not mistaken, you can't make the decision, right?"

He went on to say: “I still have eight legitimate seats in the state assembly, which I can only obtain by contributing 15 sassens when the railway is built.

"Hurry back and discuss this with your master.

"Also, tell them this is their last chance. I may not be able to kill all the bandits, but it's still easy to take out a few of the bandit leaders.

"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock. If you guys still come to talk to me, I'll tear your bandit leader's head off and kick it like a ball this afternoon."

No one else dared to say anything, as they knew very well that the new governor probably had the ability to do so.

After announcing this matter, Odysseus stood up and left slowly.

Several people looked at each other for a while, then quickly stood up and went back to report.

……

Ten o'clock in the morning, in Baron Darnell's mansion.

The two barons, along with several important figures from the two families, gathered in the baron's living room.

They were silent, either sitting or standing, waiting anxiously.

Finally, Dick came in quickly from outside: "A telegram from Azshara has arrived!"

Since yesterday, they have used every available connection to find out the details of the new governor.

At this time, the key telegram finally arrived.

Baron Dempsey stepped forward and asked, "What does the telegram say?"

"The new governor was recommended to the Renburg government by Archbishop Douglas himself," Dick read from the telegram. "I haven't heard anything about the railway project, but the new governor passed the written exam and interview with high scores.

"And it's said that the Interior Minister, Duke Bowen, has granted the new governor some privileges. The high-ranking officials of Biqier have also expressed strong support for the new governor, repeatedly telling those around them that Wotai State is saved."

Dick put down the telegram and looked at his father.

Baron Daniel breathed a sigh of relief: "My guess was correct. The Church definitely didn't want Wotai Province to continue to be in chaos, so they sent a powerful figure to Wotai City.

"Such a person is capable of giving us a hereditary parliamentary seat."

Dick said, "But it's about the railway."

Daniel raised his hand and said, "Even if this is the new governor's way of making money, I can still come up with these 30 Sassens if I grit my teeth."

Baron Dempsey also laughed and said, "I can make it up as well."

The new governor's promise was what they had always dreamed of, and it was not very difficult for them to come up with 30 sassens.

……

During lunch, at a manor in the mountains west of Wotai City.

This place used to be Baron Dempsey's property, used exclusively for hunting, but now it has become the residence of the bandit leader Barron.

At this time, Barron was in the basement, discussing the matter of state legislators with another bandit leader, Bruce.

Barron first confirmed: "You didn't report this to Mr. Eden?"

Mr. Eden is a colonel sent by the Feynaport military, responsible for providing the bandits with necessary weapons and training.

At the same time, Barron and Bruce have to report most of their actions to this gentleman.

"Of course I didn't tell him." Eden smiled helplessly: "If I told him, we definitely wouldn't be able to go."

The new governor's promise of a state legislature seat was also what the two bandit leaders had dreamed of. They both knew very well that they were Feynaporte's lackeys, and the kind of lackeys that could be abandoned at any time.

Now they finally have the opportunity to obtain legal status, and they are very excited about it.

But they still had some doubts. Bruce asked, "I wonder if the new governor's promise is the same as the Renburg government's?"

"I got some information from my conversation with Mr. Eden," Barron said. "This new governor has caused Feynaporte a lot of trouble at sea, so a few days ago Feynaporte sent someone to assassinate the new governor on his way to take office.

"At that time, Mr. Eden asked me to send someone to serve as a guide for the killer.

"Yesterday, all the people I sent as guides came back, and all the Feynapotents were dead.

"The new governor really has the power to take down both of us."

Bruce was stunned for a moment: "Has Lenburg made up his mind to retake Wotai Province?"

"I thought so too," Barron said, "otherwise they wouldn't have sent such a powerful person to Wotaizhou."

Bruce took a deep breath and said, "The new governor is right. This is our last chance."

……

In the governor's office in Wotai City.

Odysseus was meeting with the former adjutant of the state guard. He wasn't wearing a military uniform, but rather the attire of an ordinary Renburg man. "266 former members of the state guard are willing to pledge allegiance to the governor."

Odysseus glanced at the other person lazily and did not give an immediate answer: "I forgot to ask you yesterday, what is your name?"

"Gerald."

Odysseus nodded and said, "Since you want to pledge your loyalty to me, you should at least show your sincerity."

The other party immediately said: "We can go out of the city to suppress the bandits..."

Odysseus waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about suppressing the bandits."

He paused and continued, "I just happened to have something for you to do. Once you've done it, I'll accept your loyalty."

……

At eight o'clock the next morning, Odysseus came to the conference room with Gerald and a team of Yuanzhou guards.

Baron Darnell and others stood up to greet the new governor.

Odysseus nodded with satisfaction. This time, not only did the two barons come in person, but two of the leaders of the three large bandit groups entrenched in Wotai Province also came, and most of the leaders of the small bandit groups also came.

They also brought their subordinates and bodyguards, and the entire conference room was packed with people, some sitting and some standing.

Odysseus sat in the top seat and asked casually, "Who's missing?"

Gerald quickly replied, "'Eagle' Crater."

Odysseus smiled and said, "I will send Longzel out of the city to suppress the bandits this afternoon. Kret probably won't see the sun tomorrow."

The two bandit leaders, Barron and Bruce, smiled, feeling that they had made the right bet.

Gudong~
The state guard members suddenly closed the double doors, and Baron Daniel's heart suddenly trembled, and he had a bad premonition.

Odysseus glanced at Gerald and said, "Let's get started."

Gerald nodded, suddenly pulled out a dagger, and stabbed Baron Darnell, who was closest to him, in the heart.

This change was so sudden that the others were unable to react for a while.

Gerald said coldly: "Do it!"

wow~
The members of the Wonju Guard opened the safety of the guns called "submachine guns" that they had just been issued yesterday and began firing at the nobles and bandits.
