In just one afternoon, the Yoneyama family was wiped out under Shia's thunderous methods, the Yoneyama family was stripped of their surname, all their property was confiscated, and a series of members led by Angliel were beheaded for public display.

The positions and vacancies left by the Yoneyama family were quickly replaced by the rest of the family, and there were all signs that the empress's decision was supported by all the families.

Xia has only been on the throne for less than a month, and he has uprooted a powerful patriarchal family, this kind of iron-blooded wrist makes the people full of awe, and there are many things that the people don't know, including the internal meeting of the patriarchal family urgently held after the incident in the other courtyard, the lineup change of the upper Shili, and so on.

Many families have already guessed that the Princess Villa incident is a bureau carefully laid out by Empress Bixia, and the whole layout is bold and ingenious, interlocking. The rice wine and envoy of Princess Villa are just an introduction, and the result is the prey of the Mishan family, and the deeper intention is to take the Mishan family as a typical example, kill chickens and monkeys, deter the patriarchal family, and truly control the power of decision in the hands of the emperor.

Xia's methods were not blindly murderous, first to make the Bol family voluntarily surrender, the Leif family to give in, and then to release the huge interests of the Night Chamber of Commerce and Princess Villa to envelop the various families, tying the royal family and several important senator families to their own warships. In summary, the envoy Selene became the empress's most powerful bargaining chip in this incident.

In the Obsidian Era, there was an incident that shook the empire's "fund-raising gate", not only the large and small territories, but also the royal families and major families in the imperial capital also suffered huge economic losses. Xia Ya gave up the Mishan family's share in the Night Chamber of Commerce, and made the royal family and the two elder families become shareholders of Princess Fang, which is equivalent to giving away a large amount of interests, which is a temptation that is difficult to refuse for each family.

In fact, the real initiator was not Thea. It's the "Miss Dark Devil". Now this intelligence chief lady of the dark department is in the palace hall, opposite the top boss Empress Bixia, and there is no third person in the entire hall.

"What does this mean?" said Thea, looking at a piece of paper in her hand.

Isabella spread her hands: "It's just a letter of resignation." ”

Thea's eyes were a little strange, and she turned the paper over to Isabella: "You won't write a few more words?"

There are three words on the paper, resignation letter, and nothing else, if Chen Rui is around, he will definitely give the praise of "the most domineering resignation of the year".

"Do you need to write more?"

"Maybe not, but I need an explanation. ”

"Just need an explanation?" Isabella asked with interest, "and then you can leave, won't you be silenced or something?"

"What do you say?" said Thea. In this hall where there are no outsiders, the conversation between the two is not like the relationship between the empress and the subordinates of the dark head. More like two women with a delicate relationship.

"Can it really be explained?

"Say it. ”

"Then I'll explain," Isabella smiled movingly, saying that it was an explanation, but then she asked rhetorically, "The Darkmoon Lord is the best candidate...... Shouldn't it be Alice?"

A faint coldness suddenly appeared in Xia's eyes, and she looked at Isabella. Isabella's blue eyes stared straight at her without any evasion.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Thea's eyes narrowed slightly. He replied incoherently: "Your reasons for resignation are not sufficient, so I refuse." ”

Isabella shrugged: "In that case, then I'm busy, I don't have much time to stay here for too long." ”

This tone seems to be reasonable.

The intelligence chief turned her back, waved her hand, and walked out very unceremoniously. Took a few steps. Stopped again: "My Empress Bixia, don't you have a summary or emotion?"

Xia lowered her head slightly: "Perhaps, you are right. I would remind myself not to make Stiller's mistakes. But there are some things that I don't want next time. ”

"I see. Isabella understood that Thea was talking about using Alice, and this time she didn't stop. Walked straight out.

Xia easily opened the palm of her hand, and inside was a crystalline the size of an egg. This crystal is faintly black and white, and the light is dim because all the liliang inside is absorbed, Xia quietly stares at this spar that has lost its value, as if it is the most precious treasure on Shijie, and her purple eyes show a faint tenderness.

Imperial capital.

While the Yoneyama family was being disposed of, many soldiers carried thick stacks of things and distributed them from house to house. This is the lowest kind of magic paper, able to display dynamic content with limited time, and it is very inexpensive and not unusual, so people are surprised by the content of this magic paper.

Two contents, first of all, a detailed list of the various crimes of the Yoneyama family, including the close-up "animation" of the patriarch Angre Yoneyama's dejected head, and the death order signed by Empress Bixia herself, ordering the people of the imperial capital not to harbor the remnants of the traitors, and providing the Ministry of Garrison with information about the fish that slipped through the net is rewarded.

The second, equally notable, is about the Battle Ball Game, which will be held tonight in the Arena in a Battle Ball match called the Goblet of Fire. The match was played against the Praetorian Guards against the Imperial Capital United.

The predecessor of the Praetorian Guard was the Red Blood Legion when Xia was in the territory of the Dark Moon, and the birthplace of the Battle Ball was the Dark Moon, and the strength of the Praetorian Guard was one of the best in the entire Demon Realm. And the Imperial Capital United is a joint team composed of several famous fighting teams in the Imperial Capital, and all positions are star players familiar to the public. This ball game is a wonderful matchup, which belongs to the highest level of matchup, and it is a feast for many fighting fans.

This ball game had spread all over the imperial capital a few days ago, and even the Empress Bixia and the envoy of the Shadow Empire would come to the stadium to watch, and the ticket price had been hyped to an astonishing height, and it was hard to find a ticket worthy of the name.

The emperor is not like other territories, there are many powerful and rich people, often a battle ball game, before the start of ticket sales, many tickets are set inside, and they can't be bought at a high price, and this time is the same.

Ordinary spectators are often frustrated by the lack of tickets, and sometimes even stop outside the arena to make trouble.

Magic paper says that fans who don't have tickets can go to the central plaza and a few main street entrances and wait, when the queen Bixia will surprise everyone.

As night fell, the central square and several main street entrances were already crowded. A group of guards maintained order at the scene, and the vendors who had seen the opportunity were busy shuttling among them, making a lot of money.

Calculating the time, the Goblet of Fire in the arena should have begun, and many people were waiting to wonder, at this moment, the huge black crystal plate standing in the central square suddenly glowed brightly

The crystal plate showed the images of the activities one after another, which were very clear, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted. Then it turned into cheers, and the images were a contest of battle balls. Judging by the people and costumes on both sides, it was the game in the arena today!

You can see a game that you can't see for a lot of money, and it's not as good as the atmosphere at the scene, but for those who can't get enough of it. It's definitely a send-off!

Not only are there images on the screen, but the sound is also quite synchronized. In addition to the cheers and whistles on the scene, there was also an unfamiliar voice, which introduced the lineups of the two sides in detail and appropriately interspersed with commentary. It was the first time that fans had heard this kind of novel commentary, and the inflammatory words seemed to make everyone feel immersive, especially when they were on the doorstep, and almost everyone's emotions were high. Addicted. ...,

While celebrating, people finally understood that the crystal plates that Empress Bixia had erected at the entrance of the square and main street in the morning were not decorations, but magic props that could transmit the game! There is a time limit for a messenger or a transmitter, and there seems to be an endless supply of such items. It can be transmitted forever.

Until the end of the game, people still stayed in front of the crystal board, unwilling to leave for a long time, and a line of eye-catching big words appeared on the crystal board: At the same time tomorrow night, a battle ball match in the Darkmoon Territory Arena will be broadcast live.

People were even more surprised, not only the imperial capital, but even the games far away in the dark moon could be "live-streamed"?

A voice was the first to shout "Long live the Empress", followed by countless voices in unison.

The next day, the soldiers began to hand out the dynamic magic paper again, and it was also known as the "newspaper", which mainly recorded the latest events and new events happening in the imperial capital and various territories, and each issue was not repeated, the first ten issues were completely free, and in the future, it could be purchased for a very small amount of white crystal.

Three events were recorded in the second issue of the Imperial Daily.

The most striking thing is that Empress Xia led her ministers to solemnly swear to the people of the whole empire, the content of the oath is to unite as one, do everything possible to lead the entire empire to prosperity and prosperity, swear to defend the glory of the empire, and officially announced a series of measures to benefit the people, such as reducing tax rates, strengthening law and order, rewarding production innovation, etc., with an image of the monarchs and ministers swearing in front of the artifact Fallen Angel Sword.

This public oath stirred up the hearts of the people in the imperial capital, and the newspapers highlighted the magic crystal board of the live competition, called "television", with a preview of the program. In addition to the night's long-awaited Dark Moon Battle Ball Match, there are also two programs during the day, the first is a lecture on how to maintain weapons and armor launched by the Armor Maker League, and the second is Lilu from Princess Place, who introduces some tips for skin maintenance to female friends.

The third thing is also good consumption, Princess Villa is temporarily unable to operate in the reconstruction, in order to meet the needs of the majority of customers, the strong aroma rice wine will be sold in limited quantities in Princess Fang.

In the Royal Hotel, Cafu looked at the newspaper he had just gotten in his hand, his face was solemn, and the same was true of Selene on the side.

"General, what do you see?"

"I see that it is the strong cohesion and fighting spirit of all levels of the Fallen Angel Empire, far exceeding our expectations, judging from the latest information, Xia seems to have completely controlled the voice of the upper echelons, from the dark moon to the imperial capital, it has been less than a month!

Selene intervened: "I am different from the general, what I see is the terrible liliang brought by new things such as television, newspapers, and rice wine, as well as immeasurable business opportunities and benefits! Today is the deadline for negotiation given by Bixia, should we ...... it?"

"Now the situation has changed, far more than we expected, we must report to Bixia immediately!" Cafu said decisively, but sighed: "This time, Bixia's plan is only afraid of ......"
