Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 8: Rectify Laian City (first update)

The black armor is advancing on the street, and the body of Martin Xuanfeng who was burnt to fly ash has begun to settle. Both the Xuanfeng Department and the leader of the rebellious mountain people have been killed. The entire city of Lai'an There is no individual or force that can resist Yin En.

[Residents in Lai'an City, please don't panic, I am the new Lord of Lai'an appointed by the empire, Yin En]

Walking slowly, a somewhat distorted but clear enough voice came from the loudspeaker: [The rebels and those who disturbed the hearts of the people have been killed. The chaos that has occurred in Lai'an these days is about to end, but Now, I ask everyone to stay at home until noon the next day, when a grain convoy from Nauman City will arrive]

【Those who want to get food, have enough to eat, and live a stable life, I order you to return home immediately. An hour later, if there are still random pedestrians on the street, and they cannot give a proper reason, they will all be shot dead as remnants of the rebellion, and everyone will know]

There is no trace of tenderness in this voice, only cold orders, the arrogance that requires others to obey.

So, while being terribly frightened, all the citizens who came to Ancheng could understand this simple order.

- Go home, wait. There is food. Walk around and die.

This is the normal state when the sublimators of Terra continent give orders.

Yin En, who just killed the other three sublimators, is obviously the strongest one.

So they obey.

The crowd that originally gathered because of Martin's speech dispersed.

But in the city, there are still some unwilling remnants who still want to struggle.

In the corner of the city not far away, a group of almost crazy mountain people pushed an alchemy cannon to aim at the Cyclops.

They launch.

A several-meter-long electric arc blasted out, and the high-explosive warhead flew at several times the speed of sound, but the black armor raised its hand, and layers of ice condensed in mid-air, forming a side more than one meter thick opaque ice shield.

Peng——A huge explosive fire cloud over ten meters high spread and bloomed on the street. The boiling hot wind and water vapor formed a white shock cloud visible to the naked eye in Lai'an City for a while.

But when the clouds cleared, the Cyclops remained intact.

More than a dozen beams of light focused from a distance, turning the last group of mountain people who dared to resist in the corner into carbon **** from burning molten iron.

After that, there have been continuous beams of light shooting out, turning the remnants of the mountain people who escaped from Ancheng into torches.

They trembled, they begged for mercy, they wanted to resist with swords, guns and cannons-there were other first-level sublimators who intended to attack the positions of the white people's soldiers, but they did not have a second level beyond ordinary How can the moving ability of human nerve reflex speed escape the beam focus?

They were all wiped out.

None can stay. This is what Yin En said, and these young people of Bai Zhimin who are dedicated to making contributions are faithfully fulfilling the orders of the Patriarch.

— Cruel? bloody? Violence?

The black armor just walked forward silently, towards the highest point of Lai'an City, the ancient castle standing on the cliff.

It took off slowly, and landed on the top of the castle under the awe-inspiring eyes of all the residents of Lai'an through the windows, and on the other side was the golden-red gap where part of the castle was melted.

The giant turned around and looked down at the city.

-Neither. This is just the killing necessary for peace.

And not enough kills.

Yin En stared at the city indifferently. He had been here half a year ago at the invitation of the Baron of Laian. He had seen the beautiful scenery of Laianling—the Xiahui Nursery surrounding the city, located behind the castle. The deep holy lake, the blue and clear sky, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Although the whole city is a bit boring, the people generally live and work in peace and contentment. No matter how crazy Baron Laian was, he never ate the weeds of his own city.

But now? The peaceful city has disappeared, and what appears in front of Yin En is a ruin full of barricades and fortifications, a group of people who have been numb by the rebellious mountain people and the Xuanfeng Ministry.

The air here is full of gunpowder smoke. The Xiahui grass nursery outside the city has been violently exploited. It is an euphemism to say that the whole city is half abandoned. If there is no special method, it will take a year or two for the general lord to restore it. as is.

Yin En doesn't have that much time. He doesn't have time to wrestle with anyone, to engage in a "democratic game" with a group of local gentry and representatives of the mountain people in the countryside...

Whoever does not obey his will, then go to see the first emperor.

He killed few people and was relatively lonely. Unlike Axel, he must be welcomed by a lively crowd when he goes to hell.

"Scott, don't leave any of the rebel mountain people. If you run far away from the Xuanfeng Mountains, don't chase them. If you can kill them, kill them all."

At this moment, Scott has already led the team approaching, and Yin En said to him through the communication device: "As for those mountain knights, and all the local businessmen who came to Ancheng, those who can speak, those who are related to the Xuanfeng Department The old department of Baron Lai’an who cooperated—tell them to come here to obey orders.”

"Yes!" Scott carried out the order without hesitation—not to mention Yin En, even he knew that no rebels could stay... let the other party survive and spread independent ideas? Make everyone think that the rebellion can be immortal?

Even if a group of idiots are needed, as a happy comparison for the future development of the territory, aren't there other mountain tribes that can be used?

The backbone of the Yamaguchi and Kentani should be removed.

Of course, there is the most important point.

"There are only thirty people in the army, and it is difficult to defend if you want to defend them. Where can they come to watch the prisoners."

Thinking of this, Scott heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Yin En's merciless instructions: "If Yin En suddenly becomes kind, I'd like to persuade him, don't kill him at this time, don't talk about the future, There will definitely be big trouble soon."

When Scott reported to Yin En that all the people who could talk in the city knew Yin En's orders and were preparing to come to the ancient castle to obey the orders, the boy who was still thinking in the armor Look up slightly.

"Very good, it proves that they are not stupid, and the number of chickens that need to be killed can be reduced."

The red electronic eyes of the Cyclops squinted at the iron people who reported: "How is the atmosphere in Lai'an City? Are they welcoming us or not, and what is the tendency of the people?"

Scott thought for a while, and then replied: "The atmosphere is terrible and low. Martin Xuanfeng's speech has indeed touched many people. I really think that the imperial people will not treat them sincerely... even if Martin is dead, they will not be able to get rid of this idea for a while."

"As for the welcome...it's just average. Although the people's hearts don't seem to be on our side, they are still willing to obey."

"That's enough."

Yin En's voice was not at all discouraged: "People's will is the most useful thing, but also the most useless thing."

"Whether they support me or not, they can't prevent me from winning and Martin's defeat. This is why people's hearts are useless. Even if the whole city works together, it can't beat a piece of armor."

"What is useful is that if I really want to rule Lai Anling instead of completely destroying the city, I need to win the support of the people in the territory. Let them think that I can bring them stability and security, Believe in my ability, then they will cooperate with my work without orders, and even help me imagine some benefits that I don’t know about.”

"At that time, they can help me make more armor, better armor, and even brand new things that are beyond my expectations."

Speaking in this way, Scott heard a hint of emotion in Yin En's voice: "Scott, remember it. If one day you are like Martin, when you encounter this situation, you think you have obtained the Lai'an collar." People's support can achieve military victory in a certain area ... and defeat is certain."

"The verbal support and the inclination in the heart are all the misty moon in the mirror. They are all illusory. They can't bring any benefit to the actual battle at all, and they will also bring illusory illusions."

"Huh?"

After saying this, Scott was a little confused, and after getting Yin En's permission, he asked suspiciously: "But if there is the support of the local people, whether it is supplies or intelligence work, it will be very important." It’s easy to expand... People’s hearts are still very useful, right?"

This is also where Yin En appreciates Scott. Although the other party is loyal and obedient, Yin En will definitely complete the order given by him, but he also has his own ideas, and he will boldly speak out when he has doubts.

"Yes." Yin En nodded slightly, and he controlled the armored camera to point at the entire city of Lai'an: "If the gap between the two sides in the battle has reached the point where they will provide intelligence and supplies for one side, then the so-called 'people's hearts' ' has changed from a simple 'inclination' and 'verbal support' to a 'practical support', and it will naturally have strength."

"However, it is absolutely impossible for one side to be kind to the people. It must be that one side is oppressing the people, and the other side is helping the people, so that this tendency can be turned into reality. It is too harsh. For today's For Terra, this situation is almost impossible."

"The problem is that even this kind of power is not what determines the real frontal battlefield, especially for sublimators who don't care about destroying the active forces in the target area at all... The purpose of my saying this is to tell you , we don’t need to make these people approve of our approach, we just need to let them think that we can do it.”

"We can be their rulers more than others."

"It's enough to get to this point."

Yin En's gaze was indifferent. He never planned to appear as a savior and rule Lai'an.

What he wants to be is a dictator who orders orders and prohibits orders.

If you want this group of people to understand the deep meaning of his various policies and new technologies, you have to wait seven or eight years, or wait for the next generation.

Since they don't understand, then stop talking and listen to him.

It sounds scary.

But in fact... this is the most common practice of nobles in the world of Terra.

The most accepted method of governance by the people of this world.

--so a change is needed. but not now.

Sitting quietly thinking about what to do next, Yin En sat in the armored driver's seat, closed his eyes, and rubbed the center of his brows wearily: "At least I have killed all the people in Lai'an City. A guy who is qualified to compete with me for leadership... This is a very good start."

"The next step is to clean up the non-cooperatives and squires in the territory... You have to kill some to make them obedient. Otherwise, there will be no room."

Although the number of people led by the team to kill today may be more than the sum of the past few years, he smiled instead: "The plan has been more than half successful."

The Cyclops stands on top of the castle, staring at the entire city, suppressing all restless little thoughts.

At the same time, in the city of Lai'an, those people who were not sublimated, but could be regarded as important figures in the eyes of ordinary people, also gathered towards the ancient castle of Lai'an full of fear and trepidation.

Whether it is the rebellious mountain people or the Xuanfeng tribe, when they settled in Lai'an City, they searched for a layer of oil and water. To be honest, it can be regarded as the normal state of war in Terra.

Aside from anything else, there must be supplies, right? Especially in this kind of rural chaos in a small place, all parties do not have a complete logistics system, so naturally they can only use it locally.

The chambers of commerce and shopkeepers in Lai'an City related to alchemy, food, transportation and construction are all named, and they are all acquaintances of each other. Confer with each other softly and discuss the current situation.

"This is obviously a big man who still has people on top, and even a small place like ours can open a special armor to come here. What kind of background is this?"

The person who spoke was the boss of the Xiaguang Chamber of Commerce. He used to be the owner of the Chamber of Commerce under Baron Lai An who was in charge of purchasing and selling raw materials for alchemy potions. Imposing and full of fighting spirit, even if they are not from the background of the regular army, they are the most elite private army of our 'new lord'."

"See those beam guns? Yishui's alchemy guns, these weapons alone, together with a hundred or so ordinary militiamen to protect the front row, can pull together the original rebels and mountain tribes in the city Pushed!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of everyone on the field was a little dull. Although it is a good thing to have a strong lord to protect him in this war-torn period, who knows the character of this new lord?

Although Baron Lai'an may indeed have joined some kind of cult and did a lot of unimaginable evil things, but his opponents are really lenient. It is possible to use money to numb the people, but for those who work under the aristocracy, those days are really heavenly days.

And this new lord...

Not to mention, the killing intent is very strong!

The tone of those who say one thing and not allow anyone to discuss and refute, you can tell that the rules in the future must be very strict.

It's going to be hard.

The people on one side of the Chamber of Commerce gathered together, and they also noticed that on the other side, the old guards and sublimators from Lai'an were also approaching. Everything is available.

Obviously, none of them dared to be negligent. After hearing the order, they all set off immediately to Lai'an Castle, ready to listen to that person's instructions.

Those who noticed this could not help but nod thoughtfully.

——All the important people arrived at the first time. It seems that their new lord is really resolute in his actions, and he has no intention of slowing down after killing people.

"What kind of person is the new lord?"

With this in mind, they all came to the castle, waiting in the hall with anxiety.

Then they heard the sound of stairs creaking.
