Chapter 266: Victory News
Xia Zhongnan and Xu Qian appeared at the top of the magic castle.
There were crowds of people in the surrounding mountains and fields.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd pointed to the top of the city and shouted, "Look, that's our new king and queen. Everyone, hurry up and salute!"
Inspired by this, people all over the mountains and plains knelt down and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the ruler of the kingdom, welcome to the queen!"
The numerous ministers and lords who accompanied them were all shocked by the spectacular scene before them!
Millions of souls knelt together and shouted vows. It was a magnificent sight they had never seen before.
Although most of these people are ordinary people, the gathered aura still makes them feel excited.
Among these millions, there must be spies from various countries, and this is the first time they have faced such a situation.
After hesitating for only a moment, they also knelt down and shouted slogans in unison.
Because in the moment of hesitation, they realized that they had become the focus of everyone's attention, as if many magicians in the crowd had already locked onto them.
If they dare to stand upright, it would be tantamount to telling the world that they are spies of the enemy country.
Even Xia Zhongnan was shocked by the scene. Although he planned this drama himself, he only realized the magnitude of this "power" when he witnessed it with his own eyes.
For Xia Zhongnan, who came from the era of information explosion, controlling the crowd is a piece of cake.
There had been intelligence agents from Xiuzhou lurking in Wudu for a long time. This time, he dispatched Si Zheming to lead more disciples of the Secret Hall to Wudu in advance to publicize Xia Zhongnan's "great achievements" to the crowd - because of his existence, the people of Xiuzhou no longer feared the evil cult "Maitreya" and lived a prosperous life. Now that he has become the new king, the people of the capital will usher in a better life...
Word of mouth spread, and within a short period of time, people all over the city were looking forward to Xia Zhongnan ascending the throne as king as soon as possible.
At this moment, under the guidance of the members of the Secret Hall, this scene took shape in an instant.
Xu Qian's eyes were filled with tears of emotion.
Seeing countless people calling her "Queen" and supporting her and Xia Zhongnan, her heart was filled with warmth.
After the crowd calmed down a bit, Xia Zhongnan spoke: "Today, I am crowned as the new ruler of Xia Country. From now on, you are all the people of my Xia Country.
Now I issue the first royal decree: The people of Xia must abide by the law and everyone is equal. No matter whether they are officials, civilians or magicians, they are not allowed to insult or kill our people at will, and high-level magicians are not allowed to kill low-level magicians at will.
In order to ensure that this order is carried out, I will form a team called "Guardians". Once anyone is found violating the king's order, the "Guardians" will punish him severely!"
Qu Tongtian, Tang Huaigang, Tu Shiyun and other court officials and lords looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
This was the second time they had experienced such a shocking moment. Who would have thought that Xia Zhongnan would announce this "oracle" at this moment and form the so-called "Kingdom Guardians" as if everything was no joke.
They really don't understand why Xia Zhongnan, as the highest "ruler" of Xia State and the strongest practitioner, would challenge the privileges of officials and practitioners? Isn't this just disrupting his own position?
However, the common people below had different ideas. They cheered enthusiastically, many people couldn't help crying, and countless people knelt down to Xia Zhongnan, believing that Xia Zhongnan was a great king who truly stood up for them.
Seeing the violent outburst of emotions from the people below, Xia Zhongnan was also very excited. He was taught that all beings are equal, but this world follows the rule of the jungle, and practitioners can treat ordinary people unscrupulously, unless the killing of innocent people affects the country or other practitioners, they will be punished.
He hated such laws. Now that he was on the throne, he had to do something practical for his people.
Ministers such as Qu Tongtian and Tang Huaigang shook their heads. Even Lang Zhengfeng, Xu Dejing and others could not understand Xia Zhongnan's actions. At this moment, two practitioners in the "Ethereal Stage" flew over from the west.
They bowed in front of Xia Zhongnan and said, "Qizhou Governor Zhao Delin, pays respect to His Majesty!" "Huang Cheng, pays respect to His Majesty!"
The court officials were shocked. They had only heard that Xia Zhongnan had appointed "Zhao Delin" as the governor of Qizhou, but no one knew who he was. Only now did they see it with their own eyes.
Seeing the ethereal stage cultivator coming to the audience, the crowd quieted down and looked at the scene in front of them with curiosity.
Xia Zhongnan asked: "Zhaozhou Mu, I ordered you to go to Qizhou to take over, how is the situation?"
Zhao Delin replied: "Fengguo's army of 500,000 invaded my Xia State, but Shi Liya did not put up any resistance. Not only did he surrender the whole state to the enemy, he also led the enemy army into Qizhou. I have killed these traitors. The commander of Fengguo's army, You Zixuan, the deputy general Guo Linfeng and Yuan Zuolong, all died on the battlefield. I have brought back their heads. Your Majesty, please check them!"
Xia Zhongnan praised: "Well done, hang their heads on the palace wall to let all enemies know the consequences of provoking the Xia Kingdom!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Delin took out four heads from his storage ring and used his energy to fix them on the palace wall.
The commander-in-chief and deputy general of the feudal state didn't know many people, but everyone knew Shi Liya's name. Seeing that Shi Liya's head was among the four heads, the court officials were all surprised and confused. There had been war reports earlier saying that the three kingdoms attacked Xia Kingdom in three directions. Could it be that a large army had really been defeated?
This is simply unbelievable! They don't know that in the past, wars between countries were usually confrontations between large armies, and only at critical moments would practitioners in the Void Spirit Stage be used to decide the outcome...
At night, in the Demon Palace of Xia Kingdom, a grand fantasy dinner was being held.
Several more Void Realm spiritual cultivators came galloping, entered the palace, and knelt down to salute Xia Zhongnan and Xu Qiao under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"Yanzhou Territory Lord Zuoqiu Juemin pays homage to the Emperor and Empress!"
"Xianzhou Territory Lord Qiu Butong pays homage to the Emperor and Empress!"
"Yinzhou Territory Lord Mao Zizhuang pays homage to the Emperor and Empress!"
……
Together with Qizhou Lord Zhao Delin who had returned earlier, the eight regional rulers newly appointed by Xia Zhongnan gathered together today.
Xia Zhongnan asked: "Everyone, have you completed the task I assigned earlier?"
Zuoqiu Juemin replied: "Your Majesty, the invading armies of Jili and Bishi have been completely wiped out, and the heads of the two commanders, Wang Tianheng and Yuchi Hongbin, are here!"
After that, rows of skulls were displayed in front of the hall.
Zuoqiu Juemin pointed at them and said, "This is Wang Tianheng, the great general of Jili State. This is Yuchi Hongbin, the great general of Bishi State. Next are Nangong Hei, Kuang Guoqi, Cen Gongmin, Deng Honglin..."
The ministers of Jili and Bishi did not recognize these heads, but they recognized the others. They were the regional rulers who failed to return to the imperial capital in time.
Zuoqiu Juemin continued, "These people had been secretly colluding with the enemy country for a long time, and they were captured together this time."
Xia Zhongnan praised: "Well done! You all have worked hard, come, please take a seat and fill the glasses of wine for the Territory Lords!"
