Chapter 411 Extraordinary Reform!
Two years have passed.
At the beginning of the new year, an extremely terrifying rumor gradually spread among the upper class of Syat.
The rumor goes like this...
Her Majesty Queen Peggy will take back many territories from the Syat nobles. From now on, there will be no more land nobles, and all the land will belong to the Yadley royal family and the country.
However, all the extraordinary nobles are very clear about one thing. It is said that everything will belong to the Yadley royal family and the country, but in fact, that is to let the Fisher family control everything!
Her Majesty Queen Peggy is just a puppet of the Fisher family!
"That is something that cannot be allowed! We will not give up our land. That was the agreement that the first king made with us a hundred years ago!"
"If you really want to do this, it means that the queen has betrayed us! The Fisher family will be the enemy of all the nobles of Siat!"
"Other things don't matter, but the gods are above, this matter cannot be agreed to! Your Majesty, you will not do something more evil than the heretical cult, right?"
The Siat extraordinary nobles who have been purged for many years have almost become a mess, but because of this rumor that can shake the foundation, everyone is subconsciously enraged and united, and even has the momentum to fight to the death!
In any case, the land of the extraordinary lords is the bottom line!
However, just when everyone was full of anger and panic, Duke Darren of the Fisher family took the lead and took the initiative to say that this matter was absolutely a rumor and it was impossible to exist. I hope everyone can rest assured.
Immediately afterwards, Her Majesty Queen Peggy also issued a public statement that the royal family will protect the interests of all extraordinary nobles and will never betray.
So the public anger was finally calmed down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, several leaders of the nobles' last united opposition died, and they died silently, without anyone noticing.
Then, the rumor that Her Majesty Queen Peggy wanted to take all the land for the kingdom reappeared!
Many nobles were furious again, and they accused the Fisher family of being cruel executioners, and even ran directly to the Storm Church to report them, saying that the murderer who killed those nobles must be "Death God" Chris! Even said that the Fisher family must have colluded with the heretical group!
The Storm Church made a bet in the Siat Civil War, and now it is the largest church in Siat, and they have suppressed the influence of the Redemption Church.
Nearly 50% of the population in Siat has become believers of the Storm Church.
Bishop Zain came forward and expressed helplessness about the reports of the extraordinary nobles, and there was no evidence at all.
And he sincerely said that the Fisher family in his cognition was pious and pure.
"Lord of the vast storm! I have never seen a more pious existence than Fisher. How can you frame them?"
"Hey, why is it raining?"
Although it rained heavily for no reason just after he finished speaking that day, everyone also understood the attitude of the Storm Church.
So just when everyone was planning to fight the Fisher family, Duke Darren suddenly appeared. Just when everyone thought he was going to go to war with everyone, the situation suddenly changed dramatically.
Duke Darren was also very angry. Then he led everyone to rush to the new palace that Nasir had not yet fully built. He called out Queen Peggy in the middle of the night and angrily told Queen Peggy not to have any small thoughts, 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 looked at Queen Peggy trembling and making a "pledge" to the gods. Wouldn't they be confused? Could it really be a misunderstanding?
After all, Queen Peggy has made a "vow". If she dares to break the "vow", she will also be punished by the gods.
Soon, Duke Darren also made a "vow" in public, saying that the Fisher family would never support the royal family to take back the nobles' land!
So, 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 have any results.
I think those rumors are just 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 have made a vow, so there is no need to worry at all.
So this time the angry nobles disbanded again, and everyone felt completely stable.
As a result, within a few months, the nobles who attacked the palace together last time disappeared or went to jail, or were simply assassinated.
The Fisher family also stopped pretending. Everyone finally understood that everything was the conspiracy of the "East Coast Devil"!
Duke Darren Fisher!
He is indeed the most sinister, despicable and cunning person in the Fisher family!
But after seven years of repeated cleaning and filtering, all those who still had the courage to resist in Siat no longer existed. The remaining nobles dared not speak out, and many people were glad that they did not stand out.
Not long after, Queen Peggy announced that she would start an attempt from the East Coast Province.
"We will make an attempt that will definitely 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 land rent from farmers, and can also become officials and exempt from taxes. They also have various privileges such as bearing weapons, as well as generous annuities, allowances and rewards..."
"But they will no longer be able to form a private army, nor can they become extraordinary beings without authorization, or increase the level of their own extraordinary power without authorization, or hide mysterious objects without authorization... All these things must be applied for and obtained permission and approval from the kingdom."
"Siyat will reorganize a long-term 'Siyat Kingdom Army', and all the armies of the East Coast Province will be reorganized and become part of the standing army."
"All extraordinary beings in the East Coast Province, whether they are blood knights or spell casters, will be registered by the kingdom and will be uniformly managed by the country's new department, 'Raven'."
The only major noble in the East Coast Province is the Fisher family. The remaining viscount nobles have also been deeply infiltrated by the Order of the Dawn. Each family has at least one important member who is a convert.
They all raised their hands in agreement and unanimously approved Queen Peggy's reform plan! And they all gave compliments!
After the new reform measures appeared, it immediately caused an uproar in Siat!
The greatest foundation of the extraordinary nobles has been shaken!
That is not a problem of land at all, but a more terrifying thing. From now on, they can no longer cultivate new extraordinary powers as they wish!
Christine, who is hiding behind the scenes, has already thought carefully about it. In this way, the source of the chaos among the many extraordinary nobles will be completely strangled!
At first, they will only pilot it in the East Coast Province, but they will definitely expand it to the whole country in the future.
Christine truly felt that that "supernatural force that popped out of the ground" was the source of all the chaos.
No matter what, it must be contained!
Most of the Siat nobles couldn't bear it. They felt that they were no longer nobles, but as if they had become the Yardley royal family... no, they were slaves of the Fisher family!
But, that's of no use.
The matter has come to this, because all the nobles in the East Coast Province agreed, and the nobles in Siat who had the courage to resist have been persecuted. Although the remaining nobles are dissatisfied, they only dare to oppose a few. In short, absolutely 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 the common people were not affected at all, and he did not give other countries that were eager to take the opportunity to invade.
