In just one afternoon, the Mishan Family was annihilated by Jía's thunderous means. The Mishan Family's surname was deprived, and all their assets were confiscated. A series of members led by Angelo were beheaded in public.
The positions and market vacancies left by the Mishan Family were quickly replaced by other families. All signs showed that the empress' decision this time was supported by all families.
Jía had only ascended the throne for less than a month, but she had uprooted a powerful elder family. This kind of ruthless means made the people full of awe. There were still many things that the people didn't know, including the emergency internal meeting of the elder families after the courtyard incident, the lineup changes of the upper class forces, etc.
Many families had guessed that the Princess Villa incident was a trap carefully set by Her Majesty Empress. The whole layout was bold and ingenious, interlocking. The millet wine and special envoy of the Princess Villa were just a primer. As a result, the prey, the Mishan Family, was drawn out. The deeper intention was to use the Mishan Family as a model to make an example to deter the elder families and truly put the decision-making power in the hands of the empress.
Jía's means were not blindly bloodthirsty. First, she made the Boll Family take the initiative to surrender, and the Leif Family gave in. Then, she released the huge benefits of the Night Chamber of Commerce and the Princess Villa to win over various families, tying the royal family and several important elder families to her battle ship. In fact, special envoy Celine became the most powerful bargaining chip of the empress in this incident.
In the Obsidian Era, there was an incident of the "fund-raising scandal" that shook the empire. Not only the large and small estates, but also the royal family and the major families in the capital also suffered huge economic losses. Jía gave up the Mishan Family's share in the Night Chamber of Commerce and made the royal family and the 2 elder families the shareholders of the Princess Retail Store. This was equivalent to giving away a large amount of benefits. It was an irresistible temptation for the families.
In fact, the real initiator was not Jía, but the "Ms. Dark Demon". Now the secret intelligence department's Ms. Dark Demon was in the palace hall, opposite her immediate superior, Her Majesty Empress. There was no third person in the entire hall.
"What does this mean?" Jía looked at a piece of paper in her hand.
Isabella spread her hand, "It's just a resignation letter."
Jía's eyes were a little strange. She turned the paper over to face Isabella. "Can't you write a few more words?"
There were only three words on the paper, "Letter of Resignation" and nothing else. If Chen Rui was here, he would definitely praise it as "the most domineering resignation of the year".
"Do I need to write more?"
"Maybe not, but I need an explanation."
"You just need an explanation?" Isabella asked with interest. "And then you can leave? Won't they be silenced? "
"What do you think?" Shea asked rhetorically. In this hall where there was no one else, the conversation between the 2 was not like the subordinate relationship between the empress and the head of the secret intelligence department. It was more like 2 women with a subtle relationship.
"Can you really explain it? You don't need to avoid it? "
"Speak."
"Then I will explain." Isabella showed a moving smile. She said it was an explanation, but she asked rhetorically, "The best candidate for the Dark Moon Lord … shouldn't it be Alice?"
Jía's eyes suddenly showed a faint coldness. She looked at Isabella, and Isabella's blue eyes looked straight at her without any avoidance.
The 2 looked at each other for a while. Jía's eyes narrowed slightly, and she replied inarticulately, "Your reason for resignation is not sufficient, so I refuse."
Isabella shrugged, "Since this is the case, then I'm going to get busy. I don't have much free time to stay here for too long."
His tone sounded as if he was in the right.
Ms. Intelligence turned around, waved her hand, and walked out impolitely. After taking a few steps, she stopped again, "My Majesty Empress, don't you want to conclude or sigh?"
Jía lowered her head slightly, "Maybe you are right. I will remind myself not to make Stiller's mistake. But there are some things that I don't want to happen again. "
"I know." Isabella understood that Jía was talking about using Alice, so she didn't stop this time and walked straight out.
Jía gently loosened her grip. There was an egg-sized crystal in it. This crystal was faintly black and white. The light was dim because all the power in it was absorbed. Jía quietly stared at this crystal that had lost its value as if it was the most precious treasure in the world. Her purple eyes showed a faint gentleness.
The capital.
While the Mishan Family was being dealt with, many soldiers took thick stacks of things and distributed them from door to door. This was the lowest-grade magic paper that could display dynamic content with limited time. The cost was very low, so it was not rare. What surprised people was the content on this magic paper.
There were 2 contents. First, the various crimes of the Mishan Family were listed in detail, including the close-up "animation" of the patriarch, Angley. Mishan, dejected. There was also a kill order signed by Her Majesty Empress below, ordering the capital's people not to cover up the remnants of the traitor. Those who provided the garrison guard department with the intelligence of the escaped fish would be rewarded heavily.
The second content was also eye-catching. It was about the battle ball game. A battle ball game named Flame Cup would be held in the arena tonight. The two sides of the game were the imperial guards and the capital united team.
The imperial guards' predecessor was the Red Blood Legion when Jía was in the Dark Moon Estate. The birthplace of the battle ball was the Dark Moon. The strength of the imperial guards was considered one of the best in the entire Demon Realm. The capital united team was a joint team composed of several famous battle teams in the capital. The star players in each position were familiar to the public. This game could be described as wonderful. It belonged to the highest level of duel. For many battle fans, it was tantamount to a feast.
This game had spread throughout the capital a few days ago. Even Her Majesty Empress and the envoy of the Shadow Empire would come to the stadium to watch in person. The ticket price had been hyped to an astonishing height. It was really difficult to get a ticket.
The capital was not like other estates where there were as many rich and powerful people as there were hairs on a cow. Often, before the tickets for a battle ball game started to be sold to the public, many tickets were predetermined. They couldn't be bought at a high price. It was the same this time.
Ordinary spectators often worried about not having tickets. Sometimes, they would even block outside the arena to make trouble.
It was clearly written on the magic paper that the fans without tickets could go to the central square and several main street crossings to wait. Her Majesty Empress would have a surprise for everyone at that time.
As night fell, the central square and several main street entrances were already filled with people. Groups of guards maintained the order of the scene, and the peddlers who had seen the opportunity were busy shuttling back and forth among the crowd, making a lot of money.
Calculating the time, the Fire Cup in the arena should have started. Many people were waiting and wondering. At this moment, the huge black crystal board standing on the central square suddenly emitted a bright light.
The crystal board displayed images of the activities, which were very clear. Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, and then they turned into cheers. Those images were of the battle ball competition. Judging from the players and costumes of both sides, it was the competition in the arena today!
The game that could not be seen with a high price could actually be watched here for free. Although it was not as good as the atmosphere at the scene, it was definitely a timely help for those impatient fans!
There were not only images on the screen, but the sound was also quite synchronized. In addition to the cheers and whistles at the scene, there was also an unfamiliar voice. This voice introduced the lineup of both sides in detail and interspersed with appropriate commentary. It was the first time for the fans to hear this novel commentary. The provocative words seemed to make everyone immersed in the scene. Especially at the last moment, almost everyone's mood was lifted and they cheered.
While celebrating, people finally understood that these crystal boards set up by Her Majesty Empress in the square and the main street crossings early in the morning were not decorations, but magic props that could transmit the game! The function of this props was somewhat similar to the magic communication talisman. The difference was that the communication talisman or communication tower had a time limit, but this props seemed to be endless and could transmit continuously.
Until the end of the game, people still stayed in front of the crystal board, unwilling to leave for a long time. Another line of eye-catching big words appeared on the crystal board: Tomorrow night at the same time, a battle ball game in the Dark Moon Estate Arena will be broadcast live.
People were even more surprised. Not only the capital, but even the game far away in the Dark Moon can be "broadcasted"? In this way, we can watch the games everywhere in the future?
A voice took the lead in shouting "Long live the empress", followed by countless voices in unison.
The next day, the soldiers began to distribute the dynamic magic paper again. People also knew that this thing was called a "newspaper". It mainly recorded the latest major events and novelties that happened in the capital and various estates. Moreover, each issue would not be repeated. The first 10 issues were completely free. In the future, it could be bought with a very small amount of white crystal coins.
3 things were recorded in the second issue of the "Empire Daily".
The most eye-catching was that Empress Jía led the ministers to solemnly swear to the people of the entire empire. The content of the oath was to unite as one, do your best to lead the entire empire to prosperity and strength, and swear to defend the glory of the empire to the death. She also officially announced a series of measures to benefit the people, such as reducing tax rates, strengthening public security, rewarding production innovation, etc. There was also an image of the ministers swearing in front of the artifact, the Sword of Fallen Angel.
This public oath excited everyone in the capital. The newspaper also focused on the magic crystal board that broadcast the game live, called "TV", and attached a program preview. In addition to the Dark Moon battle ball game that the fans were looking forward to in the evening, there were 2 programs during the day. The first was a knowledge lecture on how to maintain weapons and armor launched by the Mechanic Association. The second was Lilu from the Princess Retail Store introducing some tips for skin care to female friends.
The third thing was also good news. The Princess Villa was temporarily unable to operate during the reconstruction. In order to meet the needs of a large number of customers, the aromatic millet wine would be sold in limited quantities in the Princess Retail Store.
In the Royal Hotel, Crawford looked at the newspaper he had just gotten in his hand with a solemn expression. The same was true for Celine on the side.
"General, what do you see?"
"What I see is the strong cohesion and fighting spirit of all classes of the Fallen Angel Empire, which far exceeds our expectations. From the latest intel, Jía seems to have completely controlled the voice of the upper echelons. It took less than a month to go from the Dark Moon to the capital! This is incredible! "
Celine replied, "I'm different from general. What I see is the terrifying power brought by new things such as TV, newspapers, and millet wine, as well as the immeasurable business opportunities and benefits! Today is the deadline for negotiations given by Her Majesty. Should we … "
"The situation has changed far beyond our expectations. We must report to Her Majesty immediately!" Crawford said decisively, but he sighed, "This time, I'm afraid Her Majesty's plan …"
