Game of the World Tree - Chapter 695

Chapter 692 Maple Moon Free Territory

Red Maple King Otto finally died.

After this powerful figure who dominated Maple Leaf Territory for decades was tied up in the square of Zeroland and Sophia personally announced that he would be handed over to the people for trial, he soon faced the revenge of the angry people.

Never underestimate the anger of the masses.

Regardless of whether the feelings expressed by a group are good or bad, their outstanding characteristics are extremely simple and exaggerated.

The stronger the feelings, the more obvious this tendency is.

Years of oppression, coupled with a series of brutal practices that almost disregarded the safety of the people after converting to the evil god, have long made the entire Maple Leaf Territory’s resentment towards Otto reach a climax.

When Otto was strong, people dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and the existence of extraordinary power even made the weak people dare not resist.

But when Otto lost power, when Sophia and the elves defeated the Red Maple Kingdom as the savior, people’s anger could finally be vented, just like a volcano that had been patient for a long time, ushering in a violent eruption.

Otto von Cappadocia, the vampire hidden among the nobles of the human world, the king of the Red Maple Kingdom, and the legendary strongman who was once only one step away from becoming a god, was eventually beaten to death by ordinary people who he always looked down upon and ignited anger.

It is said that because there were too many people involved, when the elves went to collect the body, his body had long lost its human form and was almost beaten into meat paste.

The meat paste was mixed with some filth that was not known to be discarded by the people or originally belonged to Otto, exuding a suffocating smell.

The scene and the smell even made the elf warriors who went to deal with the body vomit on the spot, and it took a long time to recover.

Vampires are still different from other species.

Their souls are very unique, and their life forms are between the dead and the living. For them, unless they become the gods of a certain god, once the body dies, the soul will also be annihilated…

So, at the moment of Otto’s death, he completely became the history of the Sages world.

Otto died, the main army of the Red Maple Kingdom was destroyed, and the evil god behind it eventually fell in the hands of the Goddess of Life…

This corrupt regime, which had been independent for less than half a year, completely lost its resistance to the elf army.

The remaining areas of the entire Maple Leaf Territory were almost on the verge of surrender under the attack of the elves.

There were even many towns that rebelled directly, raised the red flags of the elves, announced that they would join this holy war against the cultists, and pledged their loyalty to Saint Sophia of the Maple Leaf Territory, willing to support her as the new border earl.

Well… the title of this saint was completely called out spontaneously by the people.

After all, the girl’s love for the people along the way was seen by everyone, and it also represented the faith of the Goddess of Life.

In addition to the outstanding appearance created by the elf bloodline, except for those surviving nobles who only valued human bloodline, it was difficult for all other people in the territory not to have a good impression of the half-elf girl…

Just like after seeing the statue of the Goddess of Life, the speed of converting the people in the territory became faster unconsciously.

After all, people… all like beautiful things.

With strong soldiers and horses, the army has an overwhelming advantage, and at the same time, it stands on the commanding heights of morality and justice… This holy war can be said to have been decided.

Under the iron hoof of the elves’ southward army, almost all towns surrendered and surrendered, which disappointed the players who were looking forward to a big war.

It was a bit troublesome when besieging Maple Leaf City. This is the largest city in Maple Leaf Territory and the city that the Cappadocia family has been operating for the longest time. There are still some diehard fans of this vampire family.

However, facing the 100,000-strong army of players, as well as the astonishing number of 50,000 to 60,000 militias and mercenaries who spontaneously joined the army during the attack, this strong city, second only to Ogus City, fell after less than half a day.

Half a day is considered a long time, and it is completely supported by some high-level professionals who are loyal to the Cappadocia family.

For forces without the protection of gods, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the rich areas of the Segos world.

This is the rule of the extraordinary world, and it is also the sorrow of the weak in the extraordinary world.

Maple Leaf City fell, and the entire Maple Leaf Territory’s road to the Forest of Elves was completely opened.

So far, the Cappadocia family’s rule over Maple Leaf Territory, which had lasted for thousands of years, has come to an end.

The Maple Leaf Territory Rebellion, which had been raging for half a year, has come to an end.

However, what surprised the people of the entire territory was that the savior of Maple Leaf Territory, the preacher of life, and the favored one of the goddess – Saint Sophia actually gave up the title of Border Earl.

No, not just the title.

She also announced that all noble titles would be abolished in Maple Leaf Territory, and Maple Leaf Territory and the southern area of Western Territory would be merged and renamed Maple Moon Free Territory, a new word spelled by “maple leaf” and “moon”.

Maple Moon Free Territory will have no nobles, no slaves, only free people who are equal to everyone, and abolish feudalism and implement democratic centralism.

At the same time, Sophia also announced the establishment of the Maple Moon Free Territory Council to lead the future development of the entire Maple Moon Territory. According to the distribution of towns and the number of urban populations in the entire territory, a total of 137 seats in the parliament will be set up.

Every believer of life in the territory, every person who has beautiful expectations and pursuits for the future, who is educated and has ability and wisdom, can apply to join after meeting certain conditions, and officially become a member of the council after obtaining two-thirds of the votes in the council.

The council will elect a governor of the Free Territory to rule the entire Maple Moon Free Territory and accept the supervision of the Church of Life.

Each governor will rule for 10 years, and will need to be re-elected after 10 years.

And all those who can become governors must meet the following conditions:

1. Be a devout believer of life, support the belief of the goddess, strengthen the faith of the goddess, and insist on taking the characteristic path of equal development and common progress in Maple Moon Territory.

2. Except for the first governor of the Free Territory, you must have rich experience in governing in local towns and have worked at the grassroots level.

3. During the election of the governor, defeat other competitors and obtain the majority votes of the council members.

This reform was directly printed into a pamphlet by Sophia commissioned the elves, and scattered from the sky to various major towns. It was called the Maple Moon Reform.

This unprecedented reform naturally caused a stir in the territory.

This was normal, as people had been accustomed to the rule of the nobility for thousands of years. Sophia’s actions at this moment were not the first of their kind, but they were enough to be remembered by history.

Of course, after the Maple Leaf Rebellion, the biggest obstacle to the reform at this moment, the Maple Leaf Territory nobles, had already suffered heavy losses, or the nobles in many cities had simply disappeared completely. So although it caused a huge sensation, the entire reform went quite smoothly.

Among them, the support of the elf army, the propaganda of the Life Church, and the recognition of the majority of the people played an irreplaceable role.

After the reform was implemented, Sophia and the priests of the Life Church quickly selected the first members of the council in various cities based on their performance in this holy war.

And Sophia herself was elected as the first archon of the Maple Moon Free Territory Council, the de facto lord.

After becoming the archon, the half-elf girl announced three things.

The first thing was to announce an alliance with the Forest of Elves, officially list the Life Church as the official church of the Free Territory, and move the capital to Zeroland.

The second thing was to count the losses of the entire territory caused by this turmoil, suppress and eliminate the bandit groups that were currently entrenched in various places due to the war, and restore various production and trade as soon as possible.

The third thing is to open schools in various cities with the help of the elves to improve people’s wisdom, and at the same time teach extraordinary powers to civilians with extraordinary potential, learn from the elves to develop various magic tools that ordinary people can use, and promote the popularization of extraordinary powers.

“I thought you would choose to become a hereditary lord, but I didn’t expect you to really give up the title… Have you thought it through?”

At the riverside dock of Zerolan, Demacia looked at Sophia who had changed into the clothes of the Free Territory Archon and said with some surprise.

The Archon’s clothes are white, inlaid with golden patterns, and there are shoulder straps with golden tassels on the shoulders. It is majestic and majestic, and there is a brooch on the chest that looks like a scepter of life.

In addition, he also wears a white wide-brimmed hat on his head, with a badge composed of maple leaves and the moon in the center. That is the collar badge of the Maple Moon Territory.

This set of clothes is said to be designed by a certain elven chosen one.

“I have said it long ago that the Maple Leaf Territory will make a thorough reform.”

Sophia said with a firm look.

She looked at the sparkling water of the Vimur River with a calm look.

“You are going to be an enemy of the entire human world. Based on the games I have played… cough, based on my experience, your actions will definitely lead to hostility from the Empire, and maybe even a crusade.”

Demacia said.

“So what? When I decided to become a believer of life and spread the true faith of the goddess, I was prepared for this. Not to mention… aren’t we allies? Lord Demacia, will you watch our Maple Moon Territory being threatened?”

Sophia looked at the red-haired warrior and said with a hint of amusement.

“How unlovable!”

Demacia muttered.

“You too.”

The girl said unceremoniously.

“Me? Of course I can’t use such a petty word to describe me. If I need to describe me, I think it should be wise and brave!”

“Sir Demacia, your face is still as shocking as ever. The damaged sections of the walls of Zerolan have not been completely repaired. I want to use your face as building materials, maybe it will be repaired faster.”

The two of them still bickered as usual, but when they bickered, there seemed to be less gunpowder and more teasing.

The dock was bustling with people coming and going. From time to time, ships docked and a large number of people with bags on their backs boarded the dock.

They were the returning subjects. They fled during the war. Now that the war is over, many people still choose to return to their hometown.

Looking at the obviously much more relaxed expression on the faces of the subjects, the girl seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly became a little lost.

“What’s wrong?”

Demacia asked curiously.

“I thought of those who died in the war. This turmoil… the population of the entire territory has probably dropped by at least one-third. Almost every family has been affected, and relatives have lost their lives. And in the area near the city of Ogus, many towns are almost deserted…”

“War… is too cruel.”

The girl sighed.

“That’s true, but sometimes, change must be accompanied by blood, and after the darkness, there will be dawn.”

“However, politics has never been bright. Since you have chosen to become a consul, I think your future path will be more difficult and lonely.”

Demacia said solemnly.

“I have already decided that I will dedicate my life to Maple Moon Territory and the cause of the goddess, leading people to equality and prosperity, and spreading the light of the goddess to every corner…”

The girl said firmly.

“However, half-elves have a long lifespan, right? I think… you shouldn’t be a consul for your whole life, right? Have you thought about what to do after you become successful?”

Demacia asked curiously again.

“Success and fame…”

Sophia muttered, and smiled bitterly:

“That’s too far away, I still have a long way to go.”

But after she finished speaking, her expression was somewhat yearning:

“However, if I have done all this in my lifetime, I hope that I can find a beautiful town or a strange city to live in seclusion for the rest of my life, preferably by a lake or a river.”

“Grey Harbor is good. At that time, I can sleep until I wake up naturally every day, go to the church for morning assembly, and then feed the pigeons in the square. In the morning, I will go to the forest to pick some delicious berries, and in the afternoon, I will sit in the yard to bask in the sun. In the evening, I can also participate in a lively bonfire party.” “

The days in the Elf Forest may be the happiest days I have ever lived. Although they are short, they are very real.”

The girl’s eyes are full of yearning.

“Wake up, the fruits in the forest near Grey Harbor have been picked by us a long time ago.”

When Sophia was fantasizing, the untimely voice of Demacia suddenly came.

Sophia: …

She glared at someone.

Seeing the angry expression on the girl’s face, Demacia realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly smiled awkwardly and made amends:

“However, there is a teleportation array in the city, so you can go to far places. Um… you should not have heard of Kenoran? It’s a beautiful place, full of colorful flowers, and all kinds of fruits so abundant that you can’t even name them, and they are crisp and sweet.”

“And Milovia, it’s a city on the coast. You haven’t seen the sea yet, right? The beaches there are endless, the soft sand is particularly fine, the sea water is as blue as a mirror, and the scenery is particularly beautiful…”

“I think, if one day you are tired and choose to return to the Elf Forest, you will not be disappointed.”

Listening to Demacia’s story, the girl’s eyes gradually showed some spirit.

She was distracted for a moment, but soon returned to reality:

“Let’s try to change the reality first. Everything in Maple Moon Territory has just begun. I still have too little knowledge and experience.”

“Believe in yourself. For any leader who can achieve great things, his important quality is not erudition, but a strong and persistent willpower. This is an extremely rare and powerful quality that is enough to conquer everything.”

“And in my opinion, Miss Sofia, you have this talent.”

Demacia said seriously.

Sofia looked at him unexpectedly. She didn’t expect that this unreliable elf chosen one would say such a thing.

The bright sunshine shone on Demacia’s body, making him look much sunnier than before.

It must be said that if you look closely, the other party’s appearance is indeed handsome, coupled with the majestic armor and the red hair neatly combed back. Even the civilian girls passing by can’t help but blush and look at him.

Even Sofia had to admit that pure-blooded elves are indeed born with good looks.

However, just when she was looking at Demacia’s dazzling profile in the sun and was a little dazed, the latter’s solemn expression suddenly changed and returned to a smiling and provocative look:

“How is it? Was I very stylish just now? Are you fascinated by me?”

Sophia: …

“Sir Demacia.”

“Hmm?”

“Why do you have a mouth?”

Demacia: …

A melodious whistle came from the merchant ship parked at the dock. It was the ship of the Amway Chamber of Commerce.

The commissioned task has been completed, and the players have returned one after another, and he chose the waterway.

Demacia glanced at the players who greeted him on the boat and sighed:

“Miss Sophia, it’s time, I should go too. If you have the chance in the future, you are welcome to visit the Forest of Elves.”

“If Sir Demacia is not there, I will consider going.”

Demacia: …

“It’s really not cute at all.”

He muttered and jumped onto the merchant ship with a brisk step.

The canvas was slowly lowered and the merchant ship gradually left the shore.

Under the warm sunshine, the sailboat with full sails left the dock and headed into the distance.

Looking at the sailboat disappearing on the horizon, Sophia slowly withdrew her gaze.

“Thank you.”

“Goodbye…”

She whispered, then her expression became serious, and she turned around heroically. Under the respectful gaze of the accompanying civil servants, she said:

“Let’s go back to the lord’s mansion.”
