The enthronement ceremony was successfully completed, and the next step was to take over the power of the empire.

The lords who were stranded in the Dark Moon had already begun to lead their armies back to their territories, and General George and Sikari, who were entrenched in the imperial capital, did not withdraw, because Xia Ya's foundation was in the Dark Moon, and there were only two people around him, Laura and Chen Rui, who had to wait until the pattern of the imperial capital stabilized before they could return to the station. Fortunately, when the Bloody Empire was in civil strife, the Iron Fist Territory in the north was the base of Edmund, the second prince of the Bloody Empire, and was currently facing off against the Grand Prince Alius north of the Iron Fist Territory, and it was impossible to be stupid enough to provoke one more Vallock Fortress.

Xia couldn't take a break, and immediately convened a meeting, mainly to discuss the adjustment of positions and the division of territories. After the death of the second general, Duolun, there is still a shortage of one person to fill in, and many lords and generals who followed Obsidian have died, the territory is ownerless, the army lacks a commander, and there are many positions in the imperial capital that need to be adjusted.

Sia means that Athena is officially appointed as the Lord of the Dark Moon and named the third general of the Empire; the second general of the Empire is succeeded by the third general Gerant; Sumen is the lord of the Blue Melt's territory, and Sikari and Zhuo Che have made great contributions and are crowned dukes; the positions of the left and right prime ministers that have been canceled by Obsidian must be restored, and they will be held by the royal family and the senator family respectively, and the positions of the finance minister and the military minister will be given up by the senator family; some lords and legion generals and changes in important positions will be discussed by the senator family and the royal family.

This proposal is mainly to reward the meritorious heroes, and in fact, they have taken care of the patriarchal family, but they are still met with unimaginable resistance.

Athena's reward bore the brunt of the reward, and the Mons family's baroque rhetoric was particularly fierce, almost completely rejecting Thea's proposal: how can a young girl in her early twenties be qualified to be the lord of the largest territory of the empire? Moreover, Athena's father George is already the first general, so he must continue like this. The entire military will be the world of the Wells family!

Geraint was the original third general, who followed the usurper Obsidian to defeat Darkmoon and was captured. The Blue Melt Territory is also one of the four major territories, and Su Men is just the deputy commander of the Blue Legion, after the death of the lord Teutonic and the Blue Legion, he only mastered the military power of the Blue Melt without any extra choice, and he is not qualified for the position of a great lord in terms of seniority......

Faravit of the Maca family proposed that the Lord of the Dark Moon be handed over to the Senator family, that Athena could be transferred to the imperial capital to serve as the commander of the forbidden army to protect Shia, that Sumen of the Blue Melt Territory be made the lord of a medium-sized territory, and that the restoration of the position of the Prime Minister could be considered, but the positions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Minister of War were quite important and should not be moved lightly.

Thea's eyes grew cold. In fact, this blanket rejection is not entirely directed at the proposal itself. It is more of an attitude that shows that the imperial capital is not the territory of the dark moon, even if it is an empress with the support of the royal family, in many ways, it depends on the face of the patriarchal family. Obsidian has been the regent for 300 years, not to mention Thea, who has just ascended the throne. The unstable master.

Before Thea could speak, General George took the lead and stood up in a hurry.

"Baroque! Lao Tzu's daughter held back Obsidian's million-strong army and buried 100,000 of you in Moonlight Fortress! Then she crippled hundreds of thousands of Parrot's people in Dico! Geraint personally led a surprise army to raid Valan Fortress and was captured alive by her! Such a record and merit are not qualified to be a lord or a general? What were you doing when my daughter was in full swing, and was beaten into a shrunken turtle by the Darkmoon Army?"

George is now a first-stage demon emperor, and his personal strength is inferior to that of the Baroque, but as the first general, he has held heavy troops for many years. He is the undisputed first person in the military, and he has made great contributions to occupying the imperial capital this time. In this kind of meeting, George's voice is definitely higher than that of the Baroque. It's just that George already has the title of duke and the first general, so he is not on the list of rewards. Obviously, out of balance, it was counted on Athena's body together. ...,

Baroque was the defeated in the Battle of the Dark Moon, and Athena's credit is indisputable, and although she was annoyed, she couldn't find the words to fight back for a while.

Faraveit spoke: "The third general is the symbol of the empire, even if Athena is outstanding in strategy and outstanding military achievements, it is only this battle, and the qualifications are still not enough, let alone serving as the Lord of the Dark Moon." ”

Lentus of the Patriarchal Family also spoke: "If Bixia insists on rewarding Athena, then I agree to the proposal of the third general, but the Lord of the Dark Moon must decide on another candidate. ”

The Dark Moon Territory is the crown of the Demon Realm in terms of military and economic status, and it is a piece of fat that everyone covets, and the Patriarch Family naturally wants to gain control and further expand its influence on the Empire.

If it weren't for the cold mask that she exercised in the Dark Moon, Xia would have been unable to suppress her anger, the Dark Moon was built and developed by her and Chen Rui, and before she fully controlled the entire empire, it was her most important foundation, and these old families actually opened their mouths to take it for themselves, it was simply unbearable.

Shili, led by Sarandi, Whum, George, and others, expressed their support for the empress's decision and argued with the opposition, while others such as Oliver, Cowan Sr., and Stiller remained silent and stood in a neutral position.

"Okay!At present, Athena is temporarily acting as the Lord of the Dark Moon, this is a decision that was made before I came to the Imperial Capital, and you all agreed at that time, as for the rest of the matter, we will discuss it later!" Xia interrupted the dispute between the two sides, "The most important thing now is that the Shadow Empire has mobilized troops and horses to the west and south of us, and has also sent envoys to the Dark Moon to coerce, and now although I ascended the throne before this and disrupted Catherine's Jihua, the Shadow Army cannot be unguarded." At present, in the Imperial Capital Alliance, the lord army has begun to return to the station, and the Darkmoon territory has the undead army and the three legions in the hands of Athena, which can support Zhuoche at any time, and the south should be reassured, but the Tekura fortress in the west is a weak link. Geraint and Rometi of the Cloud Legion are using the Flying Beast to rush to Tekula Fortress, but they may not be in time, so they must consider support from the west. Sarga, how many air legions are stationed in the imperial capital?"

The commander of the dragoon legion, Sarga, immediately stood up: "Bixia, there are about 1,500 horsemen in all the air troops. ”

"How many troops can the Senator family muster?" was a question for Cowan Sr.

"It is estimated that there are about 40,000 people who can be called, of which 10,000 are cavalry. Old Cowan, who had been silent, looked at the members of the patriarchal family and gave a number.

Xia nodded: "Salga, you leave immediately. Lead the air force to the Tekura Fortress to rendezvous with Geraint and Rometi. Baroque, you gather 10,000 cavalry for reinforcements. Sikari, transfer 30,000 infantry from your White Feather Army, plus 50,000 infantry from the Patriarchal Family, a total of 50,000 reinforcements, under the command of Sarandi, set out as soon as possible, and everyone in Tekula Fortress must obey Geraint's orders. Faravit, Stebir, you are heading south to meet the Imperial Capital Legion heading north from Darkmoon, and we must prepare for a full defense. ”

Everyone present was slightly surprised, Xia encountered strong resistance to the first decision, and it seemed to be a complete failure, but now it seems more like a temptation. The next dispatch. The Baroque and Faraveit, who had the most vocal objections, were immediately brought out, and the means were evident.

Her two supporters, General George and Sicari, remained in the imperial capital, and General George was in the northern fortress of Wallock, and Sikari needed to deal with the affairs of the White Feather Territory at any time, so he had a good reason not to go west.

This hand is very clever. Neither Baroque nor Faravit raised any objections, the invasion of the Shadow Empire is related to the survival of the empire, and if the Angel Empire really falls, any patriarchal family, any interests, will be wiped out, so these people dare not slack off, and they have taken orders to leave. ...,

As soon as the people in the hall were empty, Thea immediately ordered the guards to retreat. Chen Rui, who had been silent, came to the back of Xia and held her hand.

With a tired look on her face, she leaned her body lightly against him, she had barely rested for a minute since last night, especially the meeting just now. It made her feel tired.

"I'm tired. Chen Rui hugged her waist and slowly sat down on the chair, letting her lean in his arms.

"More tired than expected. "Xia is not only talking about her own exhaustion, but also the complexity of the situation in the imperial capital, which can be described as difficult.

"However, I am confident. Xia Ya's eyes flashed with determination, she could be soft and tired in front of Chen Rui, but only in front of him, in front of others, she was a ruthless emperor who collapsed in front of her without changing color.

Now that she has decided on this path, she has to go to the end, when she was the new Lord of the Dark Moon, she didn't understand anything, and the conditions were even more difficult than now, but she still survived. Now that she has more chips on hand, and with him by her side, she will definitely be able to solve it.

"I'm confident, too. Chen Rui said naturally because of his confidence in Xia, unmasked her and kissed her face gently. Xia smiled lightly, leaning on him, her tense nerves relaxed, only in his arms could she have this feeling of safety and ease.

The current superficial posture of the royal family is to submit to the lord of the artifact, Sia, and there are mostly neutrals at today's meeting, only the senator family has shown a tough attitude, because an empire is too large, and it is not something that can be supported by one or two people, and the shili of the senator family is deep-rooted, covering the imperial capital and many territories, and for so many years, if you rashly use iron-blooded means to pull them all up, then the middle and upper class "buildings" that structure the entire empire will fall into a vacuum, which is extremely detrimental to the stability of the empire. What's more, there are still foreign enemies eyeing each other, and in this case, if there is another civil strife, then the Fallen Angel Empire will fall in the hands of Xia Ya.

However, there is also a conflict of interest between the senator families, and it is not monolithic, and the strong fortress is always the first to crumble from the inside, depending on Xia's means.

The footsteps of the guards came, Xia and Chen Rui noticed it almost at the same time, and immediately stood up, put back their masks, and kept their distance, this is not the Dark Moon Palace after all, and the original henchmen and guards of Obsidian naturally have to be replaced, and now these guards are all temporarily selected by General George from the army.

"Bixia, Lord Cowan of the Toro family, the patriarchal family, came with his son and daughter-in-law to plead guilty. ”

"Please?" Thea frowned slightly, and then understood.

Cowan Sr.'s son, Redotan, is the patriarch of the Toro family, and his wife's name is Rolley, the biological daughter of Obsidian.

Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and he whispered a few words to Xia Ya, and the new empress Bixia couldn't help nodding her head, and her purple eyes were shining.
