After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1720

Chapter 1720: Voumi Town’s New Lord

Within the week of deciding who would rule Flaret Town, the new Lord of Voumi Town was also decided.

And...the unfortunate soul happened to be Rowan in the end. This was after a lot of discussion among the elders and, of course, the couple themselves.

Voumi occupied an important position geographically for them to let go. Well, Flaret was important too, but between the two, it was more doable for them to manage Voumi, despite it actually being tens of kilometers farther than Flaret was to Alterra.

Although Rowan was weak, he was wise and had very good character. For the administrative concerns and planning, Silvia could help him out. As for the trouble with his level, they assigned a guard to assist them.

This time, the person designated was Elron, a level 45 guard of the Golds back then. The people assigned would be in a rotation every quarter, and at least level 40, and they’d be given generous contribution points and gold allowance each time.

Elron took it as a favor, though he also appreciated the rewards. This way, he could stand up on his own and not depend on the Golds’ generosity, especially with the points.

Elron had a wife and child in Alterra, and they had already been given homes and residencies by the Golds, so they didn’t ask them to relocate to Voumi.

Other than them, an elite team of level 20s and 30s came along to help with the initial ’cleansing’.

The Elders hoped to fix Voumi within a couple of months, so the poor couple (Rowan and Silvia) as well as their guards could also have their vacation.

Having to deal with such a big problem that they weren’t even responsible for would definitely take a toll.

The first thing they did was to do an upheaval of the remaining people in the leading party. Many were not imprisoned for now while investigations were being finalized, but they were all stripped of their positions.

Such a rotten place, one had to flip it over from the top.

This included those who openly supported Rowan’s return.

After all, anyone who let such chaos and evil reign free was responsible to a degree.

For those who did not contribute directly, their punishment was simply to lose their Elder positions and the salaries that came with them. They might also lose one or two assets in their name, but that was about it.

In contrast, those who contributed directly, and even took advantage of so many people, especially with the drugs, were set to be imprisoned and all their assets confiscated. Their families would be up for investigation. Some would be let go, but would have to fend for themselves without the elder’s wealth, and some might also get imprisoned.

It wasn’t easy to do this, of course, as these people weren’t weak. Their guards and the mercenary teams that were attached to them definitely wouldn’t go down easily.

However, now that Rowan was the Lord, he had added rules and regulations (loaned from Alterra) that would disable them from going against the guards without getting thrown to the Prison (Voumi had a level 2 Prison, fortunately).

The mercenaries were also given an ultimatum: that if they did not cooperate with the Lord instead of the Elders, then they could really be kicked out or even imprisoned.

Finally, every addict was rounded up and deposited in the building where the Terran slaves used to reside. They used the better ones, of course, the ones that the more powerful slaves like Sarah used before.

Using Alterra’s methods for rehabilitation, they started fixing everyone there. As for the medicine, Flaret took priority as they paid for it, but the Voumi addicts were also treated humanely.

They would have to work for Voumi for at least a year wth minimal salary, however, in order to earn back what was spent on their recovery.
