"This... I'm afraid it's not enough."
Long Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "The time is too short. It has only been ten days since we fully took control of the Aurora Empire and intervened in the military and political circles. It can be said that we can successfully control the army of the Aurora Empire because of the strong support of the Aurora Emperor. , if the news of the death of the Aurora Emperor comes out... let alone controlling the situation, it would be good to be able to ensure our own safety... Unless there are any special factors, it will take at least another month for us to initially stabilize the military and political circles. situation, and it will take at least half a year to a year to completely control the military and political circles."
"Half a year to a year..."
"Yes, this is already the fastest speed!"
Baili Qingfeng remained silent for a long time.
Integrating a country is indeed not an easy task. This is because there has been no war and it has evolved peacefully. If a war breaks out between two countries and they form mortal enemies in the battle, it will take even longer to fully digest and integrate.
After a while, he asked again: "What are the special factors you are talking about?"
"Cult of personality!"
Long Sheng said cautiously: "The Aurora Empire's army is practicing personality worship! All soldiers regard the Aurora Emperor as a god. Because of this, no matter how outrageous the Aurora Emperor's orders are, they can be passed unimpeded in the Aurora Empire. If... Chairman Baili You can replace the Aurora Emperor's position in the Aurora Empire and establish supreme prestige in the Aurora Empire..."
"I don't have that much time, you should hurry up."
Baili Qingfeng waved his hand helplessly.
In order to eliminate the war between the Aurora Empire and the Kingdom of Shia, in order to avoid the destruction of the lives of the two countries... he really worked hard and dedicated his whole life.
…
The capital of the Kingdom of Shia, the Light of Hill.
At the gate of the palace, Prime Minister Yasuo, the eldest prince Morong, Chairman of the Security Committee Lagolun, Shouzhen, Yuanpan, and military commander Qiao Sen all had faces full of expectations, sighs, and doubts.
At this moment, they had received news from the Sword Guard in front. The second prince Mo Xiu and Jin Xiao, one of the three giants of Shia at that time, had successfully returned from the second world and brought with them an elite team of dozens of people.
They were looking forward to the reunion of their old friends, but they were sighing because they never thought that Prince Mo Xiu and Jin Xiao, whom they had not given hope to, could come back from the second world smoothly.
As for doubts…
Morpheus, King of Ucia.
You know, Morpheus was also a top powerhouse when he entered the second world. Although he was inferior to Shouzhen and Jin Xiaolai, he was by no means a weakling, not to mention that there were carefully selected royals around him. The Knight Guards were closely guarding him, but under such circumstances, Morpheus actually died in the second world. Instead, only His Highness the Second Prince, who was a Grand Master, and Jin Xiao, the captain of the bodyguard, came back alive...
They couldn't help but make guesses.
Of course, no one expressed this speculation at this time, and everyone just kept looking at the door.
Soon, cars drove to the square of the palace.
"I feel Jin Xiao's breath."
Shouzhen looked at one of the cars with a smile on his face.
But when his eyes swept over other vehicles, his expression gradually became serious.
Not only him, but Qiao Sen and Zhang Lie, who was the bodyguard, all looked solemn.
Master!
Many experts!
There are dozens of masters!
As the motorcade stopped in the square, figures whose dressing styles were obviously different from Shia's, or in other words different from modern styles, walked out, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Thirty-three people, at least six are at level 9! The rest are all at level 7 and 8!"
Zhang Lie whispered.
"To be precise, eight level nine! In addition..."
Qiao Sen's eyes fell on the man named Guta who was the leader of the crowd.
And as his eyes lingered on Guta, Guta seemed to feel something in his heart. He turned his head. Suddenly, a surging wild-like aura hit his face. Qiao Sen, who had not yet cultivated his perfect body, felt as if his whole body was... His heart was grabbed, and it was hard to breathe for a moment.
However, Guta obviously didn't want to pay much attention to a warrior who was less than the seventh level, and quickly looked away. Only then did Qiao Sen breathe a sigh of relief, and his face turned pale involuntarily.
"Level 9 will never reach this level! The strongest! This is the power of the strongest!"
Commander Qiao Sen spoke decisively.
"A most powerful person..."
Zhang Lie felt his heart sinking.
Qiao Sen could feel the level of cultivation in the ancient pagoda, and it was impossible for Shouzhen not to be able to sense it. However, he seemed to be fine, and he, Prime Minister Yasuo, and Prince Morong immediately went up to him, smiling with a sigh. : "The second prince, Jin Xiao."
"Senior Brother Shouzhen."
Jin Xiao looked at Shouzhen with an expression that was also full of regret: "I never thought I would be able to see you, Senior Brother Shouzhen, in my lifetime."
"I also thought I wouldn't be able to survive that day. However, in the past two years, the situation in our Shia has been getting better and better. The cancers that were entrenched in the country, such as the Three Holy Alliance and the European Railway Banner, have been removed one after another. People are in high spirits during happy events, so much so that... Now I am still supporting myself, and with my current mental momentum, it won’t be a problem to survive for another two or three years.”
Shouzhen said, looking at Jin Xiao and then at the second prince Mo Xiu: "How are you all these years? Prince Mo Xiu... you have actually reached the Wushuang realm. I remember that you had not yet completed your cultivation when you first went to the second world. No leakage of the true body.”
"In that kind of environment, if you don't make some progress, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back."
Don’t practice Taoism.
Jin Xiao also sighed sincerely: "It was really difficult at the beginning. People in the Royal Knights died almost every day. Fortunately, I had to meet noble people to help me, and I was able to gain a firm foothold."
"Is it because of these guests?"
Shouzhen's eyes fell on Guta and others.
Mo Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Senior Shouzhen, let me introduce to you. This person is the deputy captain of the Xuanyou Knights from the Bloodland Principality in the North of the Second World, and the Grand Knight Commander of the Ancient Tower! Behind him You are all members of the Xuanyou Knights!"
"Knights!?"
Shouzhen's heart sank.
Shia had already cooperated with the Realm Alliance a year ago and obtained a lot of precious information from the Realm Alliance, so he knew very well what the word "Knights" meant.
There are at least hundreds of knights who can be called the Knights!
And hundreds of knights often mean hundreds of ninth-level experts!
Of course, the ninth-level knights in the human world are inferior to the temple knights among the cavemen, and the so-called knights in the human world will also count the reserve knights, but even so, hundreds of reserve knights are still A suffocating force!
Not to mention that the person who can lead the knights is often the Grand Knight Commander who is equivalent to the strongest person, and is also the best among the Grand Knight Commanders.
"Yes, Knights!"
Mo Xiu introduced it carefully, and added at the end: "The Youxuan Knights are one of the six major knights in the Kingdom of Bloodland. Most of them serve Miss Nasha, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Bloodland, and Miss Nasha... is my wife. !”
When he mentioned the word "wife", his expression was obviously unnatural.
"Your name is Shouzhen, I know you."
Guta stepped forward and looked at Shouzhen: "It's pretty good to be able to cultivate to level nine with your own efforts."
"you flatter me."
Keep the truth.
"You are the strongest person in this country, right? Then, you should also be one of the highest-status figures in this country. Are all the top leaders of your Kingdom of Shia gathered here?"
Guta asked.
“Basically everything is there…”
"That's fine."
Guta looked at Mo Xiu: "Read the edict of your King Shia."
"Posthumous edict?"
Shouzhen's face changed slightly: "What is the edict?"
"Of course it's the edict of succession. Unfortunately, King Shia died in Muyu Plain. Before his death, he passed the throne of Shia Kingdom to his only heir, Mo Xiu. This time we came to Shia to help Mo Xiu inherit the throne. Even if your Kingdom of Shia can really provide us with enough supplies, after the space gate is established, we can assist the Kingdom of Shia in unifying this continent."
Guta Road.
"The edict of passing the throne?"
"Your Majesty passed the throne to Prince Mo Xiu before he died?"
"this… "
Shouzhen, Yasuo, Lagoron and others exclaimed.
The eldest prince Morong was at a loss and was completely blindsided by the news.
Although there is currently a royal family in the Kingdom of Shia, because several princes are incompetent and no one has shown enough talent and strategy, the real power is still in the hands of the cabinet headed by Prime Minister Yasuo, but now...
"Knight Jinxiao, please take out the edict."
Guta's eyes fell directly on Jin Xiao.
Mo Xiu on the side hesitated for a moment and said: "This matter is not urgent. I haven't returned to China for several years and I still need time to understand the domestic situation..."
"Don't be in a hurry. His Highness Nasha won't be able to wait much longer. The Grand Duke is critically ill and we don't have much time left."
Guta said, looking at Jin Xiao with oppression in his eyes: "Take it out!"
Jin Xiao was silent for a moment, then nodded, and took out an edict from his body: "Brother, and Prime Minister Yasuo, you can circulate this edict to each other. It was indeed written by His Majesty before his death. His Majesty said frankly, After his death, His Highness Moxiu succeeded to the throne and became the new King of Shia."
Yasuo, Shouzhen, Qiaoson, Ragolun, Yuanpan and others looked at each other, and finally stepped forward and took the edict.
"It is indeed His Majesty's handwriting."
Shouzhen looked at it and nodded.
He has the best relationship with His Majesty Morpheus. The reason why Shia was able to become independent from the colonial rule of the Glorious Empire was largely due to him, Jin Xiao and others. As close friends who have fought together, they are very familiar with each other.
"There are no hidden marks on it either."
Qiao Sen whispered.
"Your Majesty really passed the throne to the second prince?"
Everyone circulated the edict, and everyone was obviously shocked. They all needed time to digest it.
But Guta had no intention of giving them time: "Well, since you have read the edict and it is correct, then take the time to crown Mo Xiu as soon as possible. I think it will be good in three days."
Prime Minister Yasuo organized his speech and said: "Your Excellency Guta, we still need some time to verify the authenticity of the edict, and we still need to prepare for the coronation of His Highness. After all, this is not a trivial matter..."
"I know the political system of your country. Every king who ascends the throne can form his own cabinet. If you can't get things done within three days, then I suggest that you remove them from their posts and form a new cabinet. I I believe there will always be some people chosen who can do things efficiently."
When Guta said this, his expression turned slightly cold, and he placed his right hand on his sword. The pressure formed by breaking the shackles of the human body gradually rose up on him, like a towering mountain, oppressing the energy of everyone present: "We are under pressure. His Highness Nasha has ordered you to be responsible for protecting Mo Xiu. If anyone wants to interfere or sabotage your ascension to the throne... that would be provoking the majesty of our Xuanyou Knights! Anyone who dares to provoke our Xuanyou Knights will be killed without mercy!"
