Choosing a Name Is So Difficult (Thanks to Solimans for the 10,000-yuan tip)

The population of Eastsea City exceeded one million, which greatly enriched William's source of soldiers.

Including the Commoners of Black Rock and Dawn City, the population has reached approximately 3 million.

Apart from humans, no other races live in Eastsea City.

This coastal city has always relied on fishing and agriculture to create economic value.

Of course, the above is just a small part.

The real money is made from rare mineral resources, and it is these resources that make the Vampires of Eastsea City incredibly wealthy.

But for long-lived creatures like Vampires...

They are almost indistinguishable from human Nobles, preferring antiques, oil paintings, sculptures, and other valuable but ultimately useless works of art.

Otherwise, William would have gotten far more than just 2 million Gold Coin; it should have been much more.

"But... the castle has so many works of art, it's really quite pleasing to the eye. They're not worth much if you sell them, so they look nice just sitting there." Since William took over the castle Cliff's Edge, his mindset has gradually changed.

After all, I'm not exactly poor now, so there's no need for me to sell those artworks at a low price.

It's better to keep it inside the castle for our own enjoyment.

"Hmm, would you say I own a palace now?" the Prince, but he couldn't help but sit down in a comfortable chair and enjoy his spoils.

After his trusted confidants entered the castle, they looked around like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden. After all, Dawn City never did anything fancy or extravagant; even the City Lord's Manor was extremely simple in its construction.

Tyrannosaur chuckled, rubbing his hands together, "Your Highness, what about the other castles...?"

"Oh? Other castles?"

"Mmm." Everyone was hoping that William would assign it to them.

pity.

William waved his hand dismissively. "Tear them all down and use the proceeds to repair the city walls. One castle is enough. So many are just in the way and take up too much space. It would be much better to use them to build affordable housing for the homeless."

"..."

Burning Ash and the others were speechless.

You are the lord, you have the final say.

When did you start caring about homeless people?

Of course, William wasn't too stingy. He glanced at the group of guys who wanted the castles. "Those castles haven't been demolished yet, have they? Take the statues, paintings, artworks, and stuff inside if you want. If you don't, they're all mine."

Swish.

In the blink of an eye.

The entire castle hall was deserted.

Eastsea City has been occupied, and William has not undertaken any major reforms other than renovating the city.

However, the rules of Eastsea City need to be changed!

Because William needed to win over the hearts of the people here, he had to deal with certain reckless Professional.

Such as gang members who collect protection money, notorious thieves, and petty thugs who bully and dominate the market.

As long as there are reports from Commoners.

The Dawn Legion immediately led its troops to arrest them. As long as the evidence was conclusive and many Commoners identified them, they were all arrested and taken away to mine.

This situation lasted for many days.

The security situation in Eastsea City has improved significantly.

Because he didn't need the support of landlords and powerful families to conquer a city, unlike in ancient times...

Some Professional are very powerful in the eyes of Commoners, some guys who dominate the area, don't even have the right to negotiate with William.

Perhaps Bernard's past reluctance to engage with them allowed them to become arrogant and disdainful of others.

William doesn't need their help in maintaining order, nor does he need these parasites to continue existing here; this isn't Low Magic World.

This is High Magic World!

Strength is the only true measure of power.

Bloody and violent suppression is the only approach taken by the Dawn Legion.

He hoped that this approach would make some Professional in the city realize that the city's masters had changed.

Whether you're a dragon or a tiger, you'd better stay put.

Before rebuilding Eastsea City, he also had many people build some temporary toilets and informed all the Commoners that anyone caught urinating or defecating indiscriminately would be sent to mine.

Some people, hoping to get away with it, completely ignored the announcement.

result.

Thousands of people disappeared from the city the following day...

The lord system is just bullshit.

William completed the task in just seven days.

With tens of thousands of the Legion maintaining order, they essentially gained complete control over the city of one million people.

no way.

In this world where martial prowess reigns supreme, Commoners lack Battle Aura and Magic belong to the lowest level of the pyramid.

Even if thousands of Commoners were armed with knives, they wouldn't be a match for a single Dawn City soldier...

Because they couldn't even break through the Battle Aura Shield...

They were completely powerless against the Legion's strength. The so-called rebellion, without a large number of Professional leading the resistance, left the Commoners with no choice but to submit.

The so-called legal provisions were all determined by the lord's word.

So-called human rights are worthless here.

The power of Neutral Lord is just that exaggerated.

He doesn't need to consider the problems that low-magic lords and emperors have to think about.

As long as he possesses an army and his own military strength is sufficient, he doesn't need to pay attention to any dissenting voices.

Rebellion?

That's mining!

Comply.

Then we should do what we are supposed to do according to the City Lord's rules.

During this period, William gained a lot of goodwill, but also a lot of badwill.

But His Prince didn't care at all. He had no interest in playing any tricks or schemes with these people. If they were dissatisfied, they could just go mining together.

Simple and straightforward!

Suppressing a city is that simple.

And then...

A unique Vampires auction has officially begun.

Except for Bernard, the Eastsea City Lord, who is not on the list, all 121 other captured Vampires will have the honor of performing on stage.

They will be tied up to display their best physique and appearance, so that the bidding participants can more intuitively see their remaining value.

And this auction was held at Bernard's former castle.

Many Demon Hunters happily waved their Gold Coin as they participated in the event.

Skilled Demon Hunters are often very wealthy, and they are never short of money.

Upon receiving this news, many Demon Hunters from thousands of miles away rushed to this place.

Because so many Vampires were captured this time, it was a grand event for many Demon Hunters.

The Professional in Dawn City were utterly dumbfounded when they discovered this situation.

They never imagined that Vampires merchandise would sell so well.

"Holy crap, does this mean we can start specifically capturing Vampires and selling them to Demon Hunters for a high price?"

"Tsk tsk, I can't look at Vampires the same way anymore. I feel like they're no longer terrifying creatures, but rather cute little creatures of great value."

As for the other Blood Clan who heard this news, namely the Vampires from the Emerald Grand Duchy and the Lanyu Grand Duchy, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

This further solidified their resolve to keep a low profile and fueled their determination to find the Blood Dragon Essence.

Only by becoming strong can one succeed.

To become one of the strongest on the continent.

Only then can the lives of the Blood Clan no longer be so tragic.

And William?

He has already left Eastsea City and begun searching for certain Legendary Equipment based on his memories.

He wanted to have everything ready before the Magic-Martial Tournament began.

otherwise.

He faced an overwhelming number of wealthy and powerful opponents.
