There are demons on the pirate mecca of Kadein Island, and it is not two or three big cats and kittens in the past, but by the famous one, in most legends, it is sure to be the ultimate villain, one of the most powerful abyss lords in the entire abyss, the mighty demon army led by Glinar the "Burner". In the past years, a handful of demons that occasionally appeared around the world could cause a destructive force close to a natural disaster in the local area, not to mention an old Abyss Lord and a mighty army of hundreds of thousands of demons.www.biquge.info However, the speed with which the coalition of nations arrived was so rapid that everyone was stunned, and after a great battle, the Abyss Lord fled, and the demons were basically wiped out. As a result, such a big event just stopped at the talk of the citizens of Neosfia.

The masters and bigwigs of the "inner world" may understand that this matter is far from over. What is the purpose of the demon army? Where did the runaway Glinar go? How the hell did they get here? Is the main plane, guarded by the World Enchantment, really as safe as imagined?

However, all of the above has nothing to do with ordinary citizens, they just think that the nearest sea is really wonderful.

However, just as Lu Xi expected, a bigger conversation also happened after this incident. The Federation's high-speed warships, led by the pirate leaders who had already been relentless, suddenly descended on another pirate stronghold, that is, the city of Tatuga, which was also shrouded in a veil of mystery.

The existence of this city is not a short time, and it should have a history of nearly two hundred years now, with the prosperity of the maritime trade in the Tatsumi Sea, and the expansion of the pirate community. Today, it is said that it has a resident population of nearly 100,000 or more. Among the island cities in Tatsukai, this is already a large city of considerable size.

The pirates traded, rested, spended, and reveled, and the princes and nobles of the world and the wealthy merchants also penetrated into every part of the city, either for the treasures that had fallen into the black market, or for the exchange of information, or for private dealings with the pirates. Originally, the black market there was controlled by the rational and moderate factions of the Black Sea tribe and the Parkens Order, but now due to the influx of foreign powers, such a situation of mutual checks and balances has been formed. As a result, the location of this island is almost clear to everyone, and it is also on a rather busy shipping route, but no country has launched a strike against it.

The city of Tatuga does not exist! This is how the big men explain it to their subjects, but unfortunately few people believe it.

As a result, the Confederation was the first country to launch a military strike against a city where outlaws were concentrated.

However, it must be said that the timing was indeed cleverly chosen. The main force of the Four Pirate Kings fought a great scuffle with the Black Sea nomads outside of Kadein Island, and both sides suffered heavy losses, and most of the survivors were taken prisoner by the coalition forces. Tatuga is perhaps at the most unprepared moment in its history.

However, even so, the pirate city had nearly 100,000 inhabitants. And the mere five federal high-speed cruisers, counting all the sailors, are no more than a thousand people at most...... However, under the leadership of Squint, they still descended on Tatuga Island in a posture that was even arrogant and domineering. It turned out that the "bandits" without a leader would be no better off against the army than the submissive burghers, and in just an hour of fighting, Tatuga's weak resistance was completely broken. Squint, no, Temple? Brigadier General Dandy Lane also immediately declared to the nations the absolute sovereignty of the Nadian Federation over the city of Tatuga and the island of Tatuga.

That's a little bit embarrassing...... Lu Xi wanted to know what the expression of the master mother would be like at this time. Of course, there is still a time to tear up after this incident, but in any case, the Federation was the first to declare sovereignty over this "borderland", and it did take the lead.

However, it is conceivable that Squint is actually very strongly supported in China, at least this year or the first half of next year. You must know that at this time, the general election in the federal country has completely entered the white-hot stage, and all kinds of events have been transmitted to Neosfia little by little in the form of "big news".

You know, the so-called "elected politics" does have the problem that every five years, the term of office of the head of the federation, the chairman of the ruling council, comes to an end (unless the country is in the midst of a large-scale war at the level of a national war). At that time, all senators in the Senate will be eligible to compete for the position of the next supreme head. However, the problem is that the federal government is ruled by the League of Magical Knowledge, so there is no such thing as a very "honorable" setting of candidates running on behalf of their respective political parties.

In fact, in the past 100 years, the Academic Alliance has been almost monopolized by the Arcantic nobles and gatekeepers of the Austro-French Sect, and the selection of the chairman has always been taken by the families in turn, which has almost become a farce. If a commoner-born magician wants to rise to a high position, he must either become rich or marry into a wealthy family, or join the same stream, otherwise he will only live a "good senior elite battle mage" and a "good general" for the rest of his life, but he will never want to master political resources for the rest of his life. Until this year, Russell? Clement was born, and it was a sunny day in the midst of the encirclement and suppression of the gate valve faction.

The federal election system is also interesting, with all the senators who are interested in running for the top of the state submitting their applications, and then the deputies voting several rounds to determine the two final candidates. At this point, it is up to all the citizens of the Federation who have the right to vote to decide who will be the winner.

The Federation currently has a population of 35 million, but it includes more than 20 million civilians and slaves, and only 10 million citizens have the right to vote (within three generations of immediate family members include magicians, have a high tax record of more than 10 years, have served the Union for more than 5 years in the military, or have made special contributions to the country). And the basic plate of these magicians who rule the Federation, that is, the person who really decides the supreme head within 5 years...... At least, nominally. It is on this basis that the Nadia Sky Federation proves the advanced nature of its political system, although it is directly complained by Karin as a foolish politics.

The current final candidate, the leader of the current elite faction who was launched by the gate lords and nobles, the first Austrian family of the Federation, the head of the Violet family, and the current Minister of the Interior of the Federation, the "seaweed father" Turner in Lu Xi's mouth? Vilambart. As for the other, of course, is the first of the federal military department, the current Minister of War, Russell? Clement—but not unexpectedly. As everyone knows, for the sake of his own political ideals and to defeat the country's biggest moth, sooner or later Lassell will personally compete for the high post of head of state. However, according to common sense, although the status of the Minister of War is extremely high, and he is usually ranked third or even second in the ruling committee, there is no room for improvement.

Perhaps everyone thinks that although the Minister of War is a "civilian official" in civilian clothes, he is essentially more like a military official, and if a military man is elected as the supreme head of state, won't the Federation become a military government? No, no, it's not politically correct at all! Although at this time, everyone ignores that according to federal law, all active duty or reserve soldiers with the status of magicians are in the Federation. In short, in the history of the Federation, no one has ever succeeded in "transitioning" from the position of Secretary of War.

However, perhaps because Master Russell has the great merit of leading everyone to a complete victory in the Necromantic War, or perhaps because his personality and integrity have really infected many conscientious federal representatives, he has indeed become the most likely "soldier" and "civilian" to become the head of state in the more than 400 years since the founding of the Union.

But in the same way, we also know that once the election is faced with the public, it will naturally be a situation where the demons are dancing and happy. Anyway, in any era, there is nothing new under the sun.

So, in July, when Rassell became a candidate for the head of state, Nadia's famous newspaper Elichar Metropolis swore that "bullying - that is, in 1213, in Varwack, Gloren, there were 34 witnesses to prove Russell?" Mr. Claremont was convicted of bullying and attempted to encroach on a kelp farm. It was the only resource for a poor widow and her 23 orphans who were waiting to be fed. In order to make the other party comply, he is now Russell? Since Master Claremont had come out in front of everyone to run for head of state, he might have condescended to explain what had happened. As the commander of the great Federation Army, as a great archmage of great prestige, and as an alternate for the head of the Federation, it is his duty to clarify the truth of this matter, both for himself and for the great people who have asked to vote for him. Is he willing to do that? ”

"Bullying? What the hell is bullying? Lu Xi asked Grant: "There is such a crime in federal law?" ”

"No, young master, I've never heard of it." Grant, who has been promoted from villager A to number one dogleg A, swears by this.

"Besides, what kind of widow can give birth to 23 orphans? Goblins? Kobold? ”

"There looks like there's a kobold settlement outside Port Gloreen, right? The population was large, and the town guard of Gloren hired them to dig moats and clear the harbor silt. This one...... It shouldn't be completely groundless. ”

"Oh, I see, kobolds also know about kelp, this is really an inspirational story!"

So, the Times, which is influential among the middle class of the Federation, put it this way: "It needs to be found out - will your Excellency the new chairman of the committee explain the following little thing to the citizens who are anxious to vote for him?" That is, when Master Calemmont was studying at the Central Academy of Magic in Nadia, the classmates who lived in the same dormitory with him always lost a lot of small things, and later found a lot of them from Master Claremont's body or "box"? And Master Claremont, who was only 12 years old at the time, was so angry that he relied on the magical talent bestowed by the goddess of the sky and the arcane truth to paralyze a classmate who had raised objections at first. Now, we have found the granddaughter of the victim and come out to correct her, and have come up with tangible evidence. Our current Minister of War commands the army with such courage and majesty, right? ”

"Oh, a 12-year-old classmate, paralyzed, and now he has a granddaughter. What a miracle! Lu Xi sighed.

"It's not impossible if the master's classmates are more precocious......" Grant laughed dryly.

It was not at all surprising that at Maestro Rassell's first speech to the public in July, a large group of bear-boys, dressed in tatters, rushed out of the crowd to the podium and shouted "Daddy" with their legs around their legs...... Hey? Have you seen this scene before?

In short, this is really too special to have a sense of immediacy. When Lu Xi read the various newspapers that had been delayed for a month to be delivered to Neosfia, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and secretly thought that there was really nothing new under the sun, although these newspapers were too big to die. After all, the times are not the same, after all, it is not the chaebol behind the scenes who rules the country, and there is no need to cherish the reputation of the rulers, and it will not really completely loosen the dog chains of the mouth cannon party.

Soon after, these rather merry newspapers were more or less banned and censored. And after several editors committed suicide or were temporary, several newspapers finally issued an apology. This is a bit curious, you must know that the press office, which manages the federal media and newspapers, and the inspectorate to maintain internal security, are actually under the command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Daddy Seawe.

It is said that this is a resolution passed by the Senate jointly. Turner? His Excellency Wilambat even went into a private rage, believing that using such means and false rumors to attack a respected Grand Magister and the highest military commander of the country would seem to have some effect in the short term, but in the long run, it would only have the opposite effect. Grant added.

"Daddy Nori is a man who understands. Twain's great Independence candidate is a good, upright, but cowardly and weak philistine, but Master Russell is a strong and unconquerable Magister! There are also a lot of people who can do wet work in their hands, if Daddy Seaweed doesn't do it first, wait until Rassell comes up with a lot of slander and rumors, plus evidence of collusion with the media, it will be really passive. Lu Xi said: "The gate valve faction has more resources and more financial resources, but there are too many pig teammates, and it is indeed unknown who will die in the end." ”

"It's also great. If Master Russell can become the Führer, the Federation in the next five years should still be worth looking forward to. Grant said with a smile, and then asked suspiciously, "But, who is Twain?" What is the Independence Party? ”

"You're so naïve! Grant Junior! Can becoming the chairman of the committee change the status quo? I'm afraid it's going to be even more painful and depressing than it is now, right? The reality is very difficult, and politics is not only hard, but also smells bad. Lu Xi sighed and groaned for a while, but signed a check for 10,000 gold mila and handed it to Grant: "Put this into the hands of Mr. Alain, the secretary of Master Russell!" ”

In fact, just like ordinary citizens, so much big news just made Lu Xi have a little bit of after-dinner conversation. Although he still receives a federal salary of several hundred gold mila plus allowances every year, Lu Xi lacks a minimum sense of substitution for the achievements of "his country" in expanding its territory. Of course, the chaos of the federal election made him sweat for Master Russell, but he was more likely to watch a rather interesting show...... A little funding is the only thing he can do for the other party at present. I just hope that the other party doesn't take this as a "bribe", but fortunately, although the other party is upright, he shouldn't be the kind of moral obsessive-compulsive person who can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, right?

On the contrary, it was the not-so-big news in Auckland that made Lu Xi a little worried. In June, Karin, who had just ascended to the throne, immediately reorganized the Privy Council, and then asked the (formerly) first princes of the Empire, the Grand Duke Draxley, to explain: why did they send griffin knights to Yongchen Palace? Why did Her Royal Highness Archduchess Dilisa personally attack Her Majesty Queen Caterina? Why did Her Royal Highness Archduchess Dilisa collude with cultists of unknown origin?

Naturally, however, there was no response.

As a result, the counterinsurgency army, led by the chief of the Privy Council and the Duke of Lancaster, Tyleon, immediately marched towards Dragon Castle, but the first battle did not go well. Subsequently, Her Majesty the First Empress of the World changed her counterinsurgency strategy, mobilized nearly 200,000 troops before and after, surrounded the territory of the Grand Duke of Longbao, and then adopted a strategy of slowly building a net.

This meeting is also very immediate, but if you lose, it will be Sarhu, and if you win, it will be the fifth time for Kaishen Gong, it just depends on whether the generals can calm down...... Lu Xi was indeed a little worried, so he wrote a letter to the past, but quickly got Karin's response that "everything is fine", and in the reply letter, she repeatedly assured her that "no matter whether she wins or loses, it is within the expectations of the empress", "she will never risk her life again", "she will never leave Yongchen Palace and the imperial capital before next year" and other guarantees.

"Why did Karin say that she would never leave the Yongchen Palace and the Imperial Capital before next year?" Although Lu Xi felt a little confused, he thought that although Her Majesty the First Empress of the World often fooled people, she didn't seem to have breached the contract on what she promised herself, so she relieved her heart. And at this time, the busy August is also over in so many big news.

With the press and media of the Federation being ordered to shut down for rectification, the chaos in the Federation seems to be about to subside, and Captain Claire has left Neosfia with his new equipment satisfied, and August's busy work is now finally understood. Although there is still a lot of work left, Lu Xi is finally greatly relieved, the schedule that was originally lined up is finally free, and he should have time to deal with another important matter...... Well, this matter is not important to the country, not too important to society, and not very important to the future development of Rotary and the guiding industry, but it is important to Lu Xi.

However, at the end of this busy summer, he actually pushed all such an important job to others, even with Lu Xi's shame and lower limit, he still felt a little guilty.

So, on the night the dragon knights left, he took a supper and a drink to Professor Yavaru's office, which of course had now been completely transformed into a historical research room and a commentary room during the last days of the Golden King. (To be continued.) )
