Heart of Empire Chapter 283: Dayne, Governor of the Dire Wolf
In the 217th year of the new Caesar calendar, on June 20th, four days have passed since the battle where the Iron Nail Hill Legion and the Maron Legion were destroyed.
Four days ago, when Delin led the soldiers of the second regiment and arrived on the battlefield on time, there was no suspense in the whole battle. A massacre lasted all night and the morning of the next day. The Iron Nail Hill Legion was completely finished. There were a total of 3,000 soldiers, and no more than 500 escaped in the end. They were just some miscellaneous soldiers who were underestimated. The real elite of Chaos City was almost wiped out.
After Ma Long's army was defeated, not so many people died. But the boss of the family is finished, and after they regroup, they don't even have a backbone. When Dane caught up again, they didn't dare to fight. Some of them fled, while the other part simply surrendered.
Dain hasn't figured out what to do with the rest of Malone's troops who surrendered. It is still a question whether to be incorporated into the army, completely disbanded, or more cruelly used as slaves.
He intends to put these people under custody first, and then he will deal with the more important matters of Shawan Port and Malone Manor, which made him feel more distressed, and then it will not be too late to consider these captives who surrendered.
…
After four days of fermentation, the news about this war has spread all over the sky. Such a sudden war cannot be concealed.
Perhaps, in other places in Schindler, it will take some time to get the news, but at least, in the south, people in Rotten Wolf Town and Sandy Bay Harbor have heard about this battle.
It is said that the outer wall of Marlon Manor has been demolished, and the entire huge manor has been completely taken over by Dane, the new Warlord of White Wolf Castle who has only been in office for more than three months. It seems that it is going to be rebuilt into a larger scale. Huge farm.
Oh, by the way, although Dane is still the 'Warlord of White Wolf Fort', another name has been faintly spread in Sandy Bay Port and Rotten Wolf Town - Governor of Dire Wolf.
The Governor of Dire Wolf in the south of Schindler, this title seems to be quite proud.
The most heroic part does not lie in the so-called 'South of Schindler' or 'Dire Wolf', these prefixes don't matter. The real arrogance comes from the word "governor".
Previously, Schindler had three governors. Governor Bernier is in the middle and occupies Cinderella. He is directly called "Governor Schindler" and has the most important status; Governor of beast blood' means a governor who has shed blood from the orcs.
As for Conley, he was the latest to be called the governor, and he was also the least famous and most questioned. The name of the governor of Lost City, even two years ago, was not famous at all. At that time, there were not as many people who called him the 'Governor of the Lost City' than the 'Overseer'.
Of course, it's different now. Bernier has vanished into thin air. Although there are still some people summoning his soul, the dead cannot be resurrected. Instead, the name of Kangli's governor has been completely called out. Maybe "Governor Hindler" could not be called before Conley defeated Oze, but no one dared to question the name of "Governor of Lost City".
And now, in the south of Schindler, a new governor seems to have risen.
Of course, this name is only being circulated among the people for the time being. A real person would not regard 'Governor of Dire Wolf' as a serious title. But like all the other doges starting out, it's all too normal.
Most of the warlords who were dubbed "governor" were really just a joke in the end, and I don't know how many died.
But if it really rises and gets its name, it means becoming a real tyrant and the most important figure in the entire country.
As for Dane himself, after hearing the rumor that someone had planted a 'Governor of Dire Wolf' on his head, he laughed it off. It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that he knows better than anyone else that his name as the "Governor" is indeed not worthy of the name, and...to be honest, the gap is a bit big.
No matter who is more powerful than Ou Ze or Conley, Dane is still far behind in terms of overall size.
He will not let himself be ignorant because of some pursuit from the outside world. What is really useful is always its own powerful strength. With strength, what name can't afford it? Without strength, even if someone puts the title of emperor on his head, isn't it just a joke?
However...
"Governor Crazy Wolf, tsk tsk, that's pretty domineering."
I am somewhat happy in my heart.
…
Dane didn't have any special reaction to the rumors from the outside world. He neither contributed to the flames nor ordered the news to be suppressed. Anyway, it's all insignificant stuff.
What he cares more about now is another thing - he is going to attend a trial meeting now.
He will sit at the head of the trial seat, and the objects of the trial are Malone, who was captured by Dane four days ago, and those captured infantry from the Lost City from the Iron Spike Hill Legion.
In the battle four days ago, most of the troops in Lost City were wiped out, and the number of prisoners was relatively small, less than three hundred.
This also shows from the side that the army under Governor Conley really has good combat effectiveness, so that many people are still fighting to the death without surrendering when the defeat is certain.
And today, these three hundred captives, as well as Ma Long, will have to accept the "court trial~IndoMTL.com~ Of course, this trial is just a process, and the final result has already been decided by Dane-" — These hundreds of people, as well as Malone, are all going to be hanged. None survived.
They are doomed, but the reason why Dane went to such trouble was that instead of killing them directly when he had just captured them, he wanted to hold a public collective trial in Shawan Harbor with great fanfare, and then Choosing a date for execution must have his own considerations.
After Malone's power was wiped out, Dane, who had led his army into Shawan Harbor at that time, brought the city under his control without much effort.
Bilds' port guards had almost no chance to resist, and were completely disintegrated. In the prisoner camp, there were still dozens of port guards who were also going to be hanged after the trial. .
Therefore, the current Shawan Harbor completely belongs to him without a doubt.
It is precisely because of this that he intends to hold such a public trial, the purpose is to declare this fact, just like he has won the White Wolf Castle to celebrate. (To be continued.)
