"I've lost!" The Marquis of Savoy was taken aback when he saw the gleaming blade in front of his chest.
Whoosh!
Suhlen smiled and put away his Storm Halberd.
"Since the outcome has been decided, you should know what to do, Marquis!"
The Marquis of Savoy's face turned pale. After a while, he said, "I'll keep my promise."
He turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Su Lun was the first to stop Marquis Savoy.
"Duke, do you want me to stay here?" The Marquis of Savoy's expression changed.
Suhlen sneered when he heard the way the Marquis of Savoy addressed him. As expected, the Marquis of Savoy's wishful thinking. However, since Suhlen dared to bet, he naturally had a way to make him keep his promise.
"Don't worry, Marquis. I just have something to give you!" Su Lun smiled, and with a flip of his palm, he took out the self-created hero template from the storage space.
The self-created hero template could turn an ordinary person into a hero, but it also had a powerful function: the user could never betray Suhlen.
"What is it?" The Marquis of Savoy asked curiously.
"This!" Suhlen quickly sent the self-created hero template into the Marquis of Savoy's body before he could react.
The Marquis of Savoy, who was about to block, froze the moment the light ball entered his body. It took him a few seconds to recover.
After the light ball entered the Marquis of Savoy's body, Suhlen heard a system notification.
"Are you sure you want to use the self-created hero template?"
"Yes!"
"Template fusion … Fusion successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new hero!"
"Master!" The Marquis of Savoy said respectfully after he recovered.
Suhlen had never believed in the so-called bet. He had planned to take the Marquis of Savoy as his subordinate from the beginning. A Legendary Warrior was a rare high-end combat force. Moreover, the Marquis of Savoy's family had influence in the north. He could not bear to lose such a top fighter.

The Marquis of Savoy's attributes weren't that outstanding. They were only above average. In fact, if it weren't for the existence of the Health Potion, he would never have broken through to the Legendary rank.
Suhlen checked Marquis Savoy's information and said, "Announce that you recognize me as the king and swear your loyalty to me when you return."
"Yes, Master!" Marquis Savoy said respectfully.
"Well, take your men back and wait for my call at any time." Su Lun said and mounted the horse and left.
Marquis Savoy also left with his men after Suhlen left.
Over the next few days, something major happened in the Kingdom of Florence. One of the four electors, the most powerful noble family in the north, the House of Savoy, suddenly announced that they recognized Suhlen as the king of the Kingdom of Florence and swore their loyalty to the king.
This had a huge impact on the entire Kingdom of Florence. The nobles in the northern provinces who refused to recognize Suhlen immediately became obedient after hearing the news. Some nobles even directly announced that they recognized Su Lun as the king of Florence, and those neutral, fence-sitting nobles who were originally in a wait-and-see state also expressed their recognition of Su Lun as the king after seeing this situation.
With the support of the Marquis of Savoy, the entire north quickly settled down. Even the nobles who were still stubbornly refusing to recognize Suhlen kept a low profile. However, Suhlen was very vengeful. How could he let these guys go?
He directly ordered the Marquis of Savoy to lead an army to eliminate the stubborn nobles. After receiving Suhlen's order, the Marquis of Savoy immediately gathered an army to suppress the rebellion.
After subduing the Marquis of Savoy, Suhlen could finally free up his hands to deal with the restless nobles.
It took a week for the construction of the barracks in San Filto City to be completed. Suhlen began to let the original scattered soldiers re-enter the barracks in batches for training. On the other side, the female soldiers' camp also recruited 100 palace maids for training. There were two instructors for these female soldiers, a half-elf and a drow. Suhlen did not intend to let these female soldiers fight head-on. Instead, he intended to let them guard the palace.
After Suhlen's strict orders, the sanitation of San Filto City was greatly improved. Although there was still a lot of garbage in some remote corners, the main roads had been cleaned up very neatly. The smell of human and animal excrement that could be smelled as soon as one entered the city had also been greatly reduced.
Suhlen recruited a large number of people to repair the main roads of the city. The originally muddy soil road began to be flattened by a large number of stone rollers. After the road was flattened, a layer of gravel began to be placed on it and continued to be rolled. In this way, the original soil road was replaced with a stone road.
On both sides of the road, Suhlen also asked the construction team to dig two drainage ditches. The drainage ditches were not large, only 50 centimeters wide and 60 centimeters deep. These drainage ditches extended along the road. The drainage ditches were covered with stone slabs, and there were some gaps where the slabs were connected. With the drainage ditches, even if it rained, there was no need to worry about waterlogging on the city's roads.
In this era, waterlogging was common in the cities. Most of the time, when it rained, there would be water everywhere in the city. Although the drainage ditches could not completely eliminate waterlogging, most of the time, waterlogging would not occur again.
The amount of work required to flatten the road was huge. Suhlen recruited a large number of workers from the slums. For a time, even the security of the slums improved a lot.
Speaking of security, San Filto City's security was not good. It should be said that security was generally bad in this world. No matter which city it was, there were people who committed crimes.
Underworld organizations, gang members, gray areas, officials, nobles, and so on. Not to mention the current world, even in Suhlen's previous life, if the law was strictly enforced, a large number of people would go to jail or even eat peanuts. Corrupt, deceitful businessmen, black-hearted fake medicine, poisoned food, and so on. There were also all kinds of false advertisements on television stations. A group of people formed groups to cheat the elderly in the name of health consultations and safety lectures.
There were even many people who used all kinds of methods to escape the punishment of the law. In Suhlen's previous life, he heard a saying: "Justice may be late, but it will never be absent." However, this was not the original meaning of this saying. The original words of the judge were: "Justice will never be absent, it will only be late."
The meaning was to criticize "late justice" and to express dissatisfaction with inefficient court trials. It meant that late justice was not true justice to everyone. But at some point in time, this sentence had been changed to this. The meaning was completely opposite, completely overturning the original idea, and instead praising the late justice.
In his previous life, there was a rape case in the No.10 Special Family Area. The person who discovered the corpse was sentenced to death and executed by firing squad for 23 years before his case was cleared. Meanwhile, the real murderer was arrested nine years later and admitted to the crime. He waited until 23 years after the crime was committed before he was officially sentenced to death.
Suhlen was resolute in his crackdown on crime. Moreover, the laws in the Beifeng Principality were completely different from the laws in this world. The laws in this world were very similar to the laws in the Western world in his previous life. It was basically a sham. In front of the law, the nobles had special privileges. Apart from the nobles, the rich could also form a powerful group of lawyers. They had plenty of time and money to slowly drag it out with you. How could ordinary people drag it out with them? When they could not hold on any longer, they could only withdraw the lawsuit.
In fact, these laws were completely to protect the interests of the privileged class.
The laws in the Beifeng Principality were completely different. The most basic law in the Beifeng Principality was that those who committed a crime must be punished.
For example, the most common reform through labor. This type of punishment was mainly used in cases where the degree of the crime was relatively small and did not cause much harm. Of course, there were many types of reform through labor, from cleaning the streets to transporting garbage to mining. In the Beifeng Principality's laws, there was no such thing as mediation. Those who violated the law had to be punished. If the crime was serious, they would be sent to mining and smashing stones. If the crime was light, they would be sent to clean the streets.
All prisoners had to complete these jobs to earn living expenses during their time in prison. Otherwise, they could only starve. There was no need to talk about humanitarianism. When these prisoners committed crimes, why did they not talk about humanitarianism? If they talked about humanitarianism to criminals, then what about the victims?
Moreover, in the Beifeng Principality's laws, the role of lawyers was reduced to the extreme. Basically, there were no serious crimes like robbery or murder. With a lawyer representing them, they could get a light sentence or even acquittal.
The judicial officials in San Filto City could only amend the laws according to Suhlen's wishes. At the same time, Suhlen strengthened the training of the city guards. He had already planned to completely eliminate all kinds of gangs and illegal organizations in San Filto City, especially the slums. This would be the focus of the clean-up.
