Liliz and Terdila were finally truly moved. Athena's determination and performance now are by no means faked. Could it be that Jía has miraculously returned to the capital in such a short time and ascended to the throne?
In theory, there are 2 ways to ignore space. The first is the water element magic, [Time and Space Gate]. This magic is effective for a short period of time, and it is very easy to be interfered with. During the effective days after it is cast, it will continuously consume spirit power every day.
The second method is to build a space portal. This condition is more demanding and has extremely high environmental requirements. The most basic facility is to build a strong magic pool. For the capital of an empire, this kind of environment will definitely be strictly guarded and eliminated. Moreover, with the Fallen Angel Capital's sanctions and precautions against the Dark Moon for 300 years, it is impossible for Obsidian to leave a door for the Dark Moon.
The most important thing is that whether it is the time and space gate or the space portal, there are strict restrictions in terms of distance. It is impossible to reach such a long distance between the capital and the Dark Moon Estate. Otherwise, by building a space portal, humans and the Demon Realm can directly kill each other. Is there a need to fight once every 500 years?
Liliz and Terdila's only hope now is that they have misjudged. Catherine's purpose is to take advantage of the critical moment when the Fallen Angel Empire is without a master to enter and drive the Fallen Angel Empire to fight the Bloody Empire, instead of the Shadow Empire fighting the Fallen Angel Empire desperately. Once the Fallen Angel Empire really goes all out to fight and does not hesitate to use the power of the entire empire to consume the national power and troops of the Shadow Empire, then just like Jía's words, it will ultimately benefit Raizen.
The Shadow Empire is dragged to death by the Fallen Angel Empire. This is definitely not the goal of this envoy!
In fact, this Princess Royal Highness … Perhaps I should really change her name to Her Majesty Shea. She will definitely do what she said. Otherwise, she will not angrily refuse Obsidian's proposal and openly trigger a crusade.
"We have understood General Athena's meaning. Now we want to return to the Dark Moon City. I wonder if general allows it?" Liliz's tone softened a little. Athena had 2 intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord and 1 peak stage of the Demon Overlord, plus so many undead army. It was easy to kill them. Liliz was not afraid of death, but she wanted to confirm the amazing news as soon as possible.
"Both of you are guests of the Dark Moon. As the new lord, please forgive me if I am rude or inconsiderate in my hospitality. Both of you can help yourselves. If you want to return to the Shadow Empire, I will … uh, organize a cocktail party to send you off." Speaking of this, Athena herself was a little uncomfortable. After all, she was also forced to do something beyond her abilities. She always thought that she, like her father, George, and the red dragon aunt, was most suitable for a military career. Being a lord really lacked a sense of immersion. Moreover, it was the largest and most prosperous Dark Moon Estate in the entire empire.
However, the entire Dark Moon Estate was developed and strengthened with the help of Princess Royal by Chen Rui, and she also had a part in it. In particular, Jía said before leaving last night, "Athena, guard our home."
This sentence had a double meaning. Athena knew in her heart that some things would not change even if Shea became an empress. Chen Rui, who followed Shea to the capital, would not change even more. Chen Rui, who followed Shea to the capital, would not change.
It seemed that the "Substitute Lord" would not be a "temporary" one.
Liliz and Terdila didn't care about these details at all. Seeing that Athena had no intention of stopping them, they hurriedly left. As soon as they walked into the city, they saw that almost all the people were cheering. Even the faces of the soldiers were filled with uncontrollable excitement. The cheers of "Long live Your Majesty" came one after another. Many shops even took the opportunity to offer a large number of discounts. It was several times grander than the festival.
The hearts of the 2 envoys sank. The ascension is not a trivial matter. In this kind of scene of the military and civilians reveling in front of us, if it is still a trick, Jía will only shoot herself in the foot. Jía's ascension and not ascension are completely different concepts. Moreover, the Dark Moon has strict defenses at 3 key points. It seems that I must report to Catherine the Great as soon as possible.
In fact, Athena's words were exaggerated. It was impossible for Gerant to arrive at Tekula Fortress in such a short time. Josh only took 1 legion with him at the beginning, but the most important thing was that Jía's ascension was by no means a bluff.
Just after the 2 envoys left the palace yesterday afternoon, Chen Rui, Jía and others had a secret discussion in the hall.
Chen Rui proposed the best way: Rush to the capital, ascend the throne immediately, and then show an attitude of fighting to the death with the power of the entire empire. As the saying goes, the barefoot is not afraid of the wet shoes. I believe the Dark Shadow Empire definitely doesn't want to perish together and let the Bloody Empire take advantage of it for nothing.
Everyone knew this method, but it would take a few days for the Dark Moon to go to the capital even by the fastest flying demonic beast. By then, the Shadow Empire's deadline would have already passed.
However, Chen Rui really had a shortcut, which was the fairy dragon's Rainbow Valley space. Of course, the Rainbow Valley could not be fully seen by those outsiders. The entrance was forcibly transferred to the palace by Rolla with space magic, and the illusion circle of ancient runes was also activated in the Rainbow Valley. In the eyes of the accompanying Demon Overlords, the whole process was like traveling through space from the palace, which was equivalent to some kind of great teleportation technique. Only Stiller, who had profound magic attainments, felt a little strange. Thinking of the terrifying magic power that Rolla had shown on the battlefield, her heart was filled with awe.
After a period of "teleportation", everyone appeared in the "Rainbow Valley" within the capital. It was a huge and dangerous valley, but with everyone's speed, it only took a few hours to reach the capital.
Jía's appearance gave General George and others a huge surprise. All the elder families and royal families were shocked. When the Sword of Fallen Angel with a biting cold aura appeared, except for "Aguile" and Rolla who were next to Jía, the Demon Overlords like Sarandi and Stiller, the defenders led by Oliver and Old Cowen, General George, Sicali, and all the soldiers knelt on one knee at the feet of Jía who was recognized by the artifact.
It was fine if it was just the artifact's recognition. Now that Obsidian was dead, the capital and the 4 estates were all in the hands of Jía. Among the 3 generals, 2 supported Jía, and 1 had been destroyed. These were all real power. Only with strong power as the foundation could the owner of the artifact truly gain the allegiance of these royal families and family tyrants.
The coronation ceremony began to be prepared overnight. The families quickly released the news, and the soldiers went door to door to inform the residents. Under the spread of General George and Sicali, the news that Obsidian was killed by Jía in the Dark Moon Estate with the Sword of Fallen Angel had long been spread throughout the capital. The people knew that the future empress was Jía, but they didn't expect her to return to the capital so soon.
The capital was overcast these days, and it rained from time to time.
It was the same today. The cold wind carried with it a cold drizzle.
Just when the sky was just bright, the central square was already crowded with people who came, facing the heavily guarded and temporarily built high platform.
Under the attention of everyone, Jía appeared on the high platform. It was the first time for many people to see the legendary Princess Royal, the granddaughter of the Lord of Midnight Sun. It was said that she was only in her twenties, but she actually defeated the Regent Obsidian who had ruled the empire for 300 years and regained everything that belonged to her. Now it was time for the coronation.
Due to the urgency of the situation, a series of complicated ceremonies could not be held like the regular coronation ceremony. Many steps were saved. Under everyone's gaze, under the light of the artifact, the Sword of Fallen Angel, in mid-air, Jía finally wore the crown that symbolized the emperor.
For a while, except for the new empress wearing the golden crown, everyone present knelt on the ground. Jía tried to calm the excitement in her heart. Her father's unforgettable wish before his death has finally been achieved! She originally thought that she would have to wait for a long time for this day, and even it was just a wish for her entire life. She didn't expect it to become a reality so soon.
This crown was not only a symbol of power, but also a symbol of responsibility. As the man said to her, the future of her, him, and the entire empire had just begun. In the future, she would face more difficulties than in the Dark Moon, but she would not be afraid or flinch because he would always be by her side.
After everyone got up, Jía's voice sounded with a hint of heaviness.
"The former Regent Obsidian. Lucifer's violent and reckless behavior, crazy accumulation of wealth for his own selfishness, exclusion of dissidents, crusade against the estate, caused the internal strife of the empire. Because of this internal strife, we consumed too much power. The deceived soldiers waved their swords and slashed at their compatriots. The lives of countless warriors died in the hands of their own people and under Obsidian's selfishness …"
As the winner, the first thing to do was to punish the loser's mistakes. The so-called winner takes all, but many things were true. Obsidian had indeed been unpopular in the past few years, especially after falling for the fundraising trick. Many people present were infected by this painful atmosphere.
The capital had the magic communication tower with the highest authority directly to each estate. Through this kind of communication tower, each estate received the relevant news early in the morning. Many people had gathered. Jía's oath was also spread to all corners of the empire in this way. Although there was a certain delay due to equipment problems, it could be regarded as a live broadcast.
After denouncing Obsidian's crimes and elaborating her victory, Jía's voice became impassioned again, "I, Jía. Lucifer, swear by the artifact, the Sword of Fallen Angel today that I will use my whole life to eliminate civil strife and poverty. The miracle of the Dark Moon Estate will reappear in every corner of the empire and lead the entire empire to true prosperity and strength! Everyone, no matter where they are, will be proud of being a citizen of the Fallen Angel Empire! "
The firm oath and the light of the artifact made the eyes of the soldiers and people full of passion. Someone shouted "Long live Her Majesty Jía" first, and the voices in the square began to rise one after another. The people's voices became more and more orderly and louder. The wave-like voice crashed into everyone's heart, as if it resonated with their hearts, giving birth to a feeling of unwavering faith. Even the cold drizzle became warm in this fervor.
The same voice sounded in every estate in different places, but their eyes were the same passion.
Seeing that the former Princess Jía finally became Her Majesty Jía, Chen Rui felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He happened to meet Jía's gaze. In those seemingly cold eyes, there was a faint gentleness as in the past. Everything was in silence.
