The enthronement ceremony was successfully completed, and the next step was to take over the power of the empire.
The various lords who were stranded in the Dark Moon have begun to lead their troops back to their territories. General George and Sikali, who are entrenched in the Imperial Capital, have not evacuated because Shia is based in the Dark Moon and only has Laura and Chen Rui by his side. They must wait until they arrive in the Imperial Capital.
Only after the situation has stabilized can we return to our base. Fortunately, the Blood Fiend Empire is in civil strife. The Iron Fist Territory in the north is the base of the Second Blood Fiend Prince Edmund. He is currently in a standoff with the eldest prince Aleus in the north of the Iron Fist Territory.
Maybe you are stupid enough to provoke another Varok Fortress...
Shia didn't care to rest and immediately held a meeting, mainly to discuss the issues of position adjustment and territory division. After the death of the second general Doron, there was still one person missing to fill the gap, and many lords and generals who followed Obsidian on the expedition had died.
, the territory has no owner, the army lacks a commander, and many positions in the imperial capital need to be adjusted.
What Shia means is to officially appoint Athena as the Lord of the Dark Moon and make the third general of the empire; the second general of the empire will be replaced by the third general Geraint; Sumen will be the lord of the Blue Melt Territory, and Sikari and Zhuo Che will be appointed
For his great service, he will be given the title of Duke; the positions of left and right prime ministers that have been canceled by Obsidian will be restored, and will be held by the royal family and the senatorial family respectively. For the positions of finance minister and military minister, one of the senatorial families will have to come up; some lords, legion generals will be selected and important
Changes in positions will be discussed jointly by the elder family and the royal family.
This proposal was mainly to reward meritorious officials, and it actually took great care of the elder families. However, it still encountered resistance beyond imagination.
Athena bore the brunt of the reward, and the Mons family's baroque rhetoric was particularly fierce, almost completely rejecting Shia's proposal: How can a girl in her early twenties be qualified to serve as the lord of the largest territory in the empire? And she also needs to be granted the third title in the empire.
General? Besides, Athena's father George is already the first general. If this continues, the entire military will be dominated by the Wells family!
Geraint was the original third general. He followed the usurper Obsidian and sent troops to conquer Dark Moon and was captured. Why was he promoted instead? The Blue Melt Territory is also one of the four major territories, and Sumen is just the deputy commander of the Azure Army.
, after the death of Lord Teutonic and the commander of the Blue Army, he took control of the military power of Blue Melt without any extra choices. In terms of qualifications, he was simply not qualified for the position of a great lord...
Faravit of the Maca family proposed that the Dark Moon Lord be handed over to the control of the elder family, and Athena could be transferred to the imperial capital to serve as the commander of the imperial army to protect Shia; Sumen of the Blue Melt Territory was named the lord of a medium-sized territory; restored
The position of prime minister can be considered, but the positions of minister of finance and minister of military affairs are very important and should not be touched lightly.
Shia's eyes gradually became colder. In fact, this total denial was not entirely directed at the proposal itself. It more showed an attitude, that is, the Imperial City is not the Dark Moon Territory. Even if the Queen has the support of the royal family, in many aspects
It also depends on the face of the elder family. Obsidian has been like this for three hundred years as regent, let alone Shia, the controller who has just ascended the throne and whose foundation is not stable.
Before Shia could speak, General George took the lead and stood up immediately.
"Baroque! My daughter blocked Obsidian's million-strong army in Moonlight Fortress and buried one hundred thousand of you! Then she maimed hundreds of thousands of Parlott's troops in Dico Town! Geraint personally led the surprise attack
Walan Fortress, captured alive by her! With such achievements and achievements, you are not qualified to be a lord or general? What were you doing when my daughter was showing off her power, and were beaten into a coward by the Dark Moon Army?"
George is now the first demon emperor. His personal strength is inferior to Baroque, but as the first general, he has held heavy troops for many years. He is the undisputed number one person in the military. He has made great achievements in occupying the imperial capital this time. In this kind of meeting
Among them, George's right to speak is definitely higher than that of Baroque. However, George already has the title of Duke and is the first general, so he is not included in the reward list. Obviously out of balance, it is also counted to Athena.
Baroque was the defeated general in the Dark Moon War, and Athena's contribution was undisputed. Although she was angry, she couldn't find the words to fight back.
Faravitt said: "The third general is the symbol of the empire. Even if Athena has outstanding strategy and outstanding military achievements, it is only for this battle, and she is still not qualified enough, let alone be the Dark Moon Lord."
Rentes of the Elder Family also spoke: "If His Majesty insists on rewarding Athena, then I agree with the third general's proposal, but the Dark Moon Lord must choose another candidate."
The Dark Moon Territory is the highest among all the territories in the demon world in terms of military and economy. It is a piece of fat that is coveted by everyone. Naturally, the elder family wants to gain control and further expand its influence on the empire.
If it weren't for the cold mask she had trained in Dark Moon, Shia would have been unable to suppress her anger. Dark Moon was built and developed by her and Chen Rui. Before she fully controlled the entire empire, it was her most important foundation.
These elder families are so open-minded that they want to take it for themselves. It is simply unbearable.
The forces headed by Sarandi, Waum, George and others expressed their support for the Queen's decision and argued with the opposition. Others, such as Oliver, Old Cowan, Stiller and others, stood silently.
in a neutral position.
"Okay! Currently, Athena is temporarily acting as Lord of the Dark Moon. This was a decision that was made before I came to the imperial capital. You all agreed at that time. As for the rest, we will discuss it later!" Shia called.
Ending the dispute between the two parties, "The most important thing now is that the Shadow Empire has mobilized troops to the west and south of us, and also sent envoys to the Dark Moon to coerce. Now, although I ascended the throne before this, and disrupted Kai
Saleen's plan, but the shadow army has to be on guard. Currently among the imperial coalition forces, the lord army has begun to return to its base. The Dark Moon Territory has the army of the undead and the three legions in the hands of Athena. They can support Zhuoqie at any time. The south should be able to rest assured.
, but the Tecula Fortress in the west is a weak link. Geraint and Rometty of the Flying Cloud Legion are using flying monsters to rush to the Tecula Fortress, but they may not be able to make it in time, so support from the west must be considered.
Sarga, how many air regiments are stationed in the imperial capital?"
Sarga, the commander of the Dragoon Corps, immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, there are about 1,500 cavalry in all the air troops."
"Approximately how many troops can the senatorial family mobilize?" This question was addressed to old Cowan.
"The number that can be mobilized is estimated to be about 40,000, of which 10,000 are cavalry." Old Cowan, who had been silent, looked at the members of the senatorial family and gave a number.
Shia nodded: "Sarga, you set off immediately. Lead the air force to Tecula Fortress to meet up with Geraint and Rometty. Baroque, you gather 10,000 cavalry to reinforce. Sikari, from your white
The Ling Army mobilized 30,000 infantrymen, plus the 20,000 infantrymen of the Senator family, a total of 50,000 reinforcements. They were commanded by Salandi and set out as soon as possible. Everyone in the Tecula Fortress must obey Geraint.
Order. Faravit, Stebil, you go south to meet the imperial army coming north from the Dark Moon. We must be prepared for a comprehensive defense."
Everyone present looked slightly surprised. Shia's first decision met with strong resistance. It seemed to be a complete failure. Now it seems more like a test. The next deployment. Baroque and Baroque, who were the most vocal opponents, were immediately dispatched.
Faravit was transferred out, and his methods are evident.
Two of her most powerful supporters, General George and Sikali, stayed in the imperial capital. General George was stationed at Warlock Fortress in the north, and Sikali needed to deal with the affairs of the Bai Ling territory at any time, so he had every reason not to go.
west.
This move was very clever. Neither Baroque nor Faravit raised any objections. The invasion of the Shadow Empire was related to the survival of the empire. If the Fallen Angel Empire really perished, all the senatorial families and interests would be wiped out. Therefore, these people did not dare to neglect and took the lead one after another.
Life leaves.
As soon as the hall was empty, Shia immediately ordered the guards to retreat. Chen Rui, who had been silent, came behind Shia and held her hand.
Shia's face showed a look of exhaustion, and she gently leaned her body against him. From last night to now, she had hardly rested for a minute, especially the meeting just now. She felt even more tired.
"You must be very tired." Chen Rui put his arm around her waist, slowly sat on the chair, and let her lean into his arms.
"More tiring than imagined." Shia said not only her own fatigue, but also the complexity of the situation in the imperial capital, which made it difficult to move forward.
"But, I have confidence." Shia's eyes flashed with determination. She could show softness and tiredness in front of Chen Rui, but only in front of him and in front of others, she was overwhelmed without changing her expression.
The ruthless emperor.
Now that she has decided on this path, she must go to the end. When she was the new Darkmoon Lord, she knew nothing and the conditions were more difficult than now, but she still survived. Now she has more chips on hand, and she can still survive.
With him by your side, we will definitely be able to solve it.
"I have confidence too." Chen Rui was naturally talking about his confidence in Shia. He took off his mask and kissed her face gently. Shia smiled lightly and leaned against him, relaxing her tense nerves.
, only in his arms can you have this feeling of safety and relaxation.
The current superficial attitude of the royal family is to surrender to Shia, the master of the artifact. Most of the neutral people in today's meeting were neutral. Only the elder family showed a tough attitude, because an empire is too huge and cannot be supported by just one or two people.
, and the power of the senatorial family is deep-rooted, spreading throughout the imperial capital and many territories. They have been connected with each other for so many years. If they are all rashly uprooted by iron-blooded means, then the middle- and upper-class "buildings" that structure the entire empire will fall into a vacuum. For
The stability of the empire is extremely detrimental. What's more, there are still foreign enemies eyeing it. Under this situation, if civil strife breaks out again, then the Fallen Angel Empire will be considered to have collapsed in Shia's hands.
However, there are also conflicts of interest among the elder families. They are not monolithic. A strong fortress is always the first to collapse from within. It all depends on Shia's methods.
The footsteps of the guards came. Shia and Chen Rui noticed them almost at the same time. They immediately stood up, put on their masks and kept their distance. This is not the Dark Moon Palace after all. Obsidian's original confidant guards will naturally have to be replaced. Now these guards
General Du George was temporarily selected from the army.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Cowan of the Toro family, an elder family, came with his son and daughter-in-law to plead guilty."
"Excuse me?" Shia frowned slightly and then understood.
Old Cowan's son Ledotan is the patriarch of the Toro family, and his first wife is Luo Lai, who is Obsidian's biological daughter.
Chen Rui's eyes lit up and he whispered a few words to Xia. The new Queen couldn't help but nod her head, her purple eyes filled with brilliance.
