MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master-Novel
Chapter 454 - Aftermath Of The WarHazelgroove kingdom had won the war. The news were good for some and bad for most , as a even worse fate awaited those who ran away from their assigned duties in the war. Labelled as deserters and traitors , nearly 8 in 10 guilds in the nation was recieving some sort of penalty . With 6 of those being blacklisted and exiled.
Needless to say it was Christmas come early for the guilds that were rewarded . As the rewards for loyalty to the nation were massive chunks of territory left by the power vaccum created by the expelled guilds.
The biggest change that came into effect after the war was that , Emperor Cervantez changed the internal structure of the kingdom , dividing everything into state ruled zones and independent administrative zones.
To put it simply , the loss of soldiers in the war was simply devastating for the territory and impossible to replace in a short time . Hence Cervantez decided to change the structure of the kingdom into making these zones.
The state ruled zones would come under direct control of the imperial government . Whereas the independent zones will have administrative and military autonomy . But they will be a vassal state of the empire and a part of the sovereign nation of Hazelgroove.
This was different than being a guild incharge of the city , as now the territory to govern was going to be much larger and there was no need to answer to the country on how they were running the state . As any policy that the guild incharge wanted to implement could be implemented , and no annual tribute had to be paid.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNaturally , there were still some jurisdictions that the state had over the independent regions , such as in times of war and national crisis , every region must contribute manpower and resources and the like.
When all was said and done Three such independent territories were formed . The capital of the country was shifted by cerventez from Purplehaze city to a more central city called ' ravenclaw' which cerventez renamed into ' Hazelwood city '.
About 70% of the existing Hazelgroove kingdom tell into the emperor's jurisdiction. Whereas there were 3 independent territories made .
The elites and Rudra were given 15% of the existing land . With Purplehaze city , about 5 neighbouring villages and the entire land north of Purplehaze city uptill fort Magma. Along with the exclusive privilege that every land that Rudra annexed from Nineclouds kingdom and Aquahose Kingdom would be included in his own new territory.
Called the Dukedom of Elites , it was the largest independent territory in the Hazelgroove kingdom.
Apart from that , the other two territories were made up of many small counties ruled by viscounts , the largest controlling 2 towns , while most having the same village or town they were controlling.
Rudra became an highly envied man due to this policy changes , as he was the player that had came closest to becoming a king in entire Omega. While the power the Elites enjoyed was immense inside their territory.
The news about the Elites already flooded the forums even prior to the war , but they were the most highly discussed guild after the war , as the guild had shown tremendous quality and strength of character under pressure .
The amount of land the guild controlled alongside their glorious past made the guild soar in value in the hypothetical market , with the elites now rivalling the networth of the grey international.
The elites now became one of the most highly valued organization in the world , and their pedigree as one of the Super Guilds was definitely established.
Although many good things came to the guild , including a lot of monetary aid from the emperor to rebuild Purplehaze city and an abandoned royal palace and all its facilities it was amazing gains for the guild.
Added to the fact that Purplehaze city was no longer the residence of the emperor , Rudra could finally change the city as he wanted and truly rebuild it with urban planning as in modern day towns.
He was now not only a Duke in title , but also in terms of amount of land he controlled , with also being the only Duke having the license to expand his territory by declaring war on neighbouring territory at will. ????n????????????а????. ????????????
However he was left with inadequate resources to manage this territory as the manpower of the elites was sorely lacking in quantity and quality to be able to manage such a large territory that shared border with 2 large hostile nations.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe good thing was the following the war Hazelgroove kingdom had gained a one year non invasion time period , meaning Rudra had time to strengthen his exisiting territory just like he did with Purplehaze city . However the task this time was monumentally harder.
Being made the Duke Rudra voluntarily stepped down as a lieutenant position from the kingdom as he felt that he would not be able to manage both. However to his surprise cerventez let him retain his title , but gave him no duties , still placing the first division under him as the Duke's private army.
Rudra was naturally extremely indebted to Cervantez for all this , as some of the special measures he got were unthinkable for any other guild.
Cerventez was truly a emperor worth following , having incredible foresight and character . Rudra genuinely learned a lot from the man , and he swore that he would always come to the aid of the emperor in a moment's notice when summoned. Not because he needed to , but because he wanted to voluntarily follow such a ruler.
A new special dungeon opening , a new territory to manage , and many exciting things coming up , the future looked busy for the elites . As temporarily atleast there seemed to be stability and peace in the territory.
However the public enemy number one of the state , Aman still had his whereabouts unknown , as the origins of the portal he dissapoeared into were yet to be discovered.
