The result of the war of lords of the Dark Moon shocked the entire Fallen Angel Empire. For a long time, in people's minds, the Dark Moon was just a destitute estate under the control of Regent Obsidian. It was supported by Crown Prince Grimm's daughter, Princess Jía. It was only a matter of time before the remaining glory of the Lord of Midnight Sun fell.
This battle completely subverted many people's ideas – The Red Spirit Estate and Blue Lava Estate Alliance of the 4 major estates jointly attacked the Dark Moon. In the end, the Red Spirit Estate was defeated and the Blue Lava Estate was completely annihilated!
This is simply an incredible victory. When has the strength of the Dark Moon soared to this level?
Although the Dark Moon won, it was still not optimistic. Obviously, the war of lords this time was instigated by the 2 estates by Regent Obsidian. The Dark Moon showed such a dazzling light, which was equivalent to exposing its own strength. Obsidian would never allow such a hidden danger to continue to grow stronger and develop. He would definitely take action.
What is the next step? Sanctions? Personally leading the army?
Even if he didn't lead the army personally, just the Red Spirit Estate stopping the food supply to the Dark Moon was enough to cause a heavy blow to the Dark Moon. After all, such a large estate could not be self-sufficient in food. Even if it could be imported from the Shadow Empire, it was difficult to meet the needs of the entire estate. It was nothing more than transferring the vital point from the Red Spirit Estate to the Shadow Empire.
At this moment, a surprising news came from the Dark Moon.
According to the captured capital envoy, Diak, the Red Spirit Estate and Blue Lava Estate were instructed by Regent Obsidian to attack the Dark Moon this time. This was not surprising, but Obsidian's purpose turned out to be to seize the accumulated wealth and treasure of the Dark Moon!
In order to seize the estate's property, a regent actually instigated and launched the war of lords! Diak also revealed that Obsidian had been doing everything possible to plunder the property of the major estates. The previous lord "fundraising" was the biggest scam!
Krobelus, who was also the capital envoy, also issued a public statement to confirm the authenticity of this matter. She also expressed strong indignation at Obsidian, claiming to leave the capital and join the Dark Moon.
The news quickly spread throughout the empire. Although there were some problems with these "statements", the territories and the big families began to feel uneasy because it was related to their own interests, especially the large amount of black crystal coins. Many of them had already written to the capital for various reasons, requesting for an early refund of the funds raised.
As a result, Regent Obsidian was even more troubled. The original intention of this war of lords was to divert the attention of this aspect and try to plunder property, but he didn't expect it to backfire. At the meeting of lords, he promised on his chest. Now seeing that the date of the final rebate was getting closer day by day, and there were so many estates and families requesting immediate withdrawal, he was in an unprecedented predicament.
Contrary to the capital that was shrouded in haze, the Dark Moon Estate was immersed in a celebratory atmosphere at this time.
The haze that originally shrouded this estate was swept away by the unexpected victory. Princess Royal personally led the attack. The heroic deeds of defeating the Red Spirit Army with fewer troops and defeating the Red Spirit Army in the wilderness of Town Leith were spread in everyone's mouth.
In contrast, the incredible achievement of silently annihilating the Blue Lava Army seemed strange and mysterious. It was said that it was done by the mysterious powerhouse invited by the sheriff and garrison guard commander, Athena. Some people also said that it was the secret power that General George left in the Dark Moon. There were many opinions for a while.
As the victorious heroes, the mysterious powerhouse who defeated Josh and beheaded Rus, Tim, the West Route Army Commander who launched a surprise attack on the Red Spirit Army, the Old Ford father and son who quelled the rebellion of the Mellon Family, the cavalry commander Kaguli, the wyvern legion commander and imperial guard commander Kaguron, the brave human financial officer who was the first to pick up a weapon and rush to the enemy in the face of the temptation of the Red Spirit, as well as the mysterious wyvern legion of the Dark Moon that was comparable to the capital, had become the topic of discussion of the Dark Moon's soldiers and civilians.
This victory not only greatly excited the entire Dark Moon, but it also showed to all the estates of the Fallen Angel Empire that the Dark Moon was already the largest estate of the Fallen Angel Empire in both military and economy!
A large number of people gathered in the central square of the Dark Moon. Jía was giving an inspiring speech on the high platform in the center of the square. Many people found that the Princess Royal looked high-spirited and showed unprecedented confidence.
In addition to publicly announcing the rewards of meritorious officials and the punishment of removing the names of traitors such as the Mellon Family, Princess Royal Highness also announced 6 major initiatives. It could also be said that they were 6 unexpected good news.
The first news was that the Dark Moon had finally cracked the secret of the Blue Lake Mountain Range's treasure! There was no huge wealth as imagined, but the unexpected things found were more precious than any wealth or treasure in the conventional sense.
The treasure was an ancient leather scroll which recorded the secret method of improving the barren land of the Dark Moon. After the experiments of Princess Royal and Master Aldas, they found that it really worked. Moreover, the improved magic land had a harvest about twice as high as the ordinary fertile soil.
At present, Jía had improved a large number of land outside the city for people to farm. They only needed to hand in a certain amount of crops every year to obtain the ownership of these magic lands. The next step would be to gradually expand the improvement to the entire Dark Moon Estate.
This was a huge piece of good news that excited everyone. It meant that the Dark Moon would completely get rid of the biggest predicament of food shortage in thousands of years, and they would no longer be pinched by others because of this. With the protection of a powerful army, a booming economy, and fertile and abundant food … all these fully proved that the prosperity and glory 400 years ago was about to reappear on this land.
No, perhaps it would far surpass 400 years ago!
By then, every Dark Moon person would be proud of their identity.
The second news was that the Dark Moon had obtained permission from the 2 major alchemy forces, the Mechanic Association and the Potioneer Association to build a mechanic branch and a potioneer branch in the city. The mechanic branch was headed by Master Xingxing, who was well-known in the Demon Realm, while the potioneer branch was headed by Master Aldas. Mechanics and potioneers were welcome to join. The Dark Moon would provide the best conditions and treatment.
For example, the Blue Lake Mountain Range "treasure" land that had been converted into a military location. The Fountain of Resurrection there would be a free ration supply for the Dark Moon Potioneer Branch. The famous potioneer master Aldas and mechanic master Xingxing would also regularly exchange experiences with the members to improve their level.
The third news was that in order to reinvigorate the inheritance glory of the Lord of Midnight Sun, the Dark Moon imperial guards were officially renamed as the "Red Blood" Legion, and the legion commander was Athena; the garrison guard was renamed as the "Flame" Legion, and the legion commander was Kaguron; as for the West Road Army, it was renamed as the "Moon Shadow" Legion, and the legion commander was Tim. The 3 legions would recruit more warriors to defend the Dark Moon's homeland. Those who were strong, courageous, and skilled could go to the recruitment office to sign up. As long as they went through the screening process, they would be able to become an honorable soldier and be treated well.
The fourth news was that the Dark Moon would transform the city's water supply, sewage, and other settings for free and promote the new magic water supply developed by Master Xingxing. Residents only needed to pay a very small monthly fee. They didn't need to go out to fetch water, and they could easily use the filtered clean water at home.
The fifth news was that the Dark Moon would hold two large-scale events next month. One was the auction house's trade fair, and the other was the Dark Moon's first trade fair in 400 years. There would be many treasures appearing at that time. For example, at the auction, there would be 3 devil fruits entrusted by a mysterious guest to be auctioned!
The sixth news was that the transformation of abandoned houses in the city into shops had basically been completed. Before the huge business opportunity next month, these shops would be sold by bidding.
These successive heavy and favorable measures caused a strong response among the people. There were thunderous cheers for a while, and they shouted "Long live Princess Royal".
Soon after, the Dark Moon Palace.
Council hall.
The irrelevant people had retreated, including Old Gauss.
Although Old Gauss was Princess Royal's most trusted old minister, in a sense, Old Gauss was also an irrelevant person. Therefore, the old man took the initiative to leave sensibly. Only Princess Royal Highness and a … financial officer were left in the council hall.
"The news of the devil fruit will attract a large number of Demons and merchants. As for the strategy of publicly carrying out land improvement in the name of the treasure, it is even more ingenious. Not only can it divert the attention of adventurers, but it can also carry out land improvement naturally. However, your credit as the real hero has been buried."
"How many of my credits have been buried?" Someone looked distressed, but he held Princess Royal Highness's hand and touched it with a lustful look. "It depends on how Princess Royal compensates your subordinate's hurt heart."
"Are you sure what you're doing now is in line with the identity of 'subordinate'?" Jía said in embarrassment.
Although she confessed her feelings in the secret room, Princess Royal Highness was still as majestic and cold as before when she was outside. However, she didn't withdraw her hand that was held by him.
"Subordinate's loyalty to Princess Royal Highness can only be proven by the 2 moons in the sky!" The guy who didn't have the consciousness of a subordinate was still immersed in the profound mood of an employee flirting with a domineering female boss.
"In that case, there is no substantial proof?" Jía snorted coldly, "You have been hiding deeply. Tim has actually been your servant since a long time ago. There are 2 powerful tribes and an ally like the Earth Elemental King at the bottom of Mountain Xilang. There are also hundreds of thousands of undead army and a corpse necromancer close to Demon Overlord in Town Yankou! With your current power and financial resources, let alone subverting the Dark Moon, even the entire Fallen Angel Empire is not a fantasy! "
Chen Rui told Jía about the strength he had been operating and many things. Since returning from Town Yankou, he had to "report" to Jía alone for a long time almost every day. Of course, it was in the secret room.
The relationship between the 2 heated up rapidly, but Princess Royal Highness was actually a very shy or very traditional woman. Even ordinary hand-holding and kissing seemed extremely reserved. As for the last step, it seemed that there was still a considerable distance. The revolution had not succeeded yet, so it was better to let nature take its course.
"I'm a very lazy person. I don't want to be a lord or an emperor. I just want to hide in a leisurely place, flirt with my beloved woman, dance, and be carefree."
Hearing the words "dance", a blush flashed across Jía's face. There must be others flirting, but this dancing "beloved woman" should not be anyone else for the time being except her.
"By the way, I mentioned to you before about the issue of the enhancement of the undead army's weapons on Guradam's side. What do you think? This powerful undead army will be one of our most important forces in the future. "
Jía deeply agreed with this, "From the total annihilation of the Blue Lava Estate this time, we can see the horror of this army. Fortunately, it is an ancient battlefield. There are enough undead materials. Together with the Blue Lava Estate army this time, it should be able to increase the combat power of the undead army to a higher level. You can make the decision on this matter. As for the establishment of the 'Dark Demon' organization, do you have a better idea? "
"We humans have an old saying, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. The 'Dark Demon' must be established as soon as possible to grasp the movements and intelligence of all parties immediately. The Cloak Gang's team may still be useful in the Dark Moon, but if it is the entire empire or even the entire Demon Realm, it definitely won't work. Many things must be trained from scratch. I have 2 reliable partners who are also Athena's close friends. One of them even helped you deal with Rus, so I can ask them to help for the time being. Actually, I still have the best candidate for commander in my mind, but unfortunately, her whereabouts are unknown. Let's talk about it in the future when there is a chance. "
"That's good." Jía nodded slightly, "At present, the Blue Lava Estate is not a threat for the time being. However, the remaining power of the Red Spirit Estate is still not trivial. We can't take it lightly."
"No, on the contrary, I think the Blue Lava Estate's lord has just died. His son, Chandler, is not strong and prestigious enough. All forces are eager to take action, so we should focus more on this estate. As for the Red Spirit Estate … let's rest assured for the time being. Perhaps this former enemy will become one of our indispensable and important helpers."
Josh was seriously injured and dying. His son, Kanita, was in charge. All decisions were conveyed through Kanita.
Kanita had become the puppet of the God-Eating Mask in the beheading operation in Town Leith.
Just these two points alone were enough to explain a lot.
"Really? Then we have to step up the investigation of the Blue Lava Estate's intel. "Jía's eyes lit up, then it turned into embarrassment," Your hand … behave! "
"I just want to feel Your Highness's great … great … uh, mind. Why is it bigger in the secret room? Your Highness Jía, don't restrain your mind. Give it a loose and comfortable environment … Ouch!"
"Okay! Sir Financial Officer, you can leave now … Bastard, what are you going to do … Wuwuwu … "(The sound of his mouth being blocked)
After a long time, the imperial guards at the entrance of the palace, which should now be called the Red Blood Imperial Guards, heard the angry voice of Princess Royal Highness coming from the council hall from a distance. However, without Princess Royal's order, no one took a step forward. Then, they saw the human financial officer walking out dejectedly. He even covered his mouth as if he was scolded to the point that he didn't even dare to speak loudly.
Sure enough, even if he showed considerable courage on the battlefield, even if the Dark Moon won a great victory, this human financial officer still successfully angered Princess Royal Highness as usual and was driven out.
Could it be that the courage in the face of the Red Spirit Army is usually trained in the anger of Princess Royal Highness?
Seeing the weird eyes of the Red Blood Imperial Guards, the human shrugged with a smile, covered his mouth, and walked out with a wronged look. No one could imagine that the reason why this guy covered his mouth was because his action was too intense, so Princess Royal Highness bit his lips in embarrassment and annoyance.
Although he paid the "price of blood", he still successfully felt the warmth of her red lips and … the "great chest". It was definitely a worthwhile mission.
The moon tonight is really round.
Looking at the 2 white moons in the clear sky, someone's heart surged with this irrelevant line.
