When the first assistant of the Meteorite first took office, he chose the first area to inspect the western realm, and the entire court has been speculating about the purpose of his move.

Because no matter how you look at it, the nobles of the Western Frontier have always been very peaceful after the superior letter of allegiance, and in terms of importance, the Western Frontier should be ranked at the bottom of all parties. Some people speculate that the real purpose of the Meteorite Shousuke's trip to the Western Realm was to go to the Second Prince, and the Shousuke Patrol Western Territory's delegation stayed in the Crescent Oasis and did not leave, which seems to confirm this.

And when the agreement on the management of the western frontier jointly signed by the nobles of the western frontier was sent to the imperial capital, the entire court could not believe the news they heard, and even the officials of the descendants of Nutao City expressed their doubts about this news.

After all, the particularity of the Western Frontier was determined to be a troublemaker character at the beginning of the establishment of the empire. Many emperors wanted to solve the problem of the western frontier, but they all came to naught. Even if he was as eloquent as Augustine the Great, he mainly appeased these thorns.

Now these old-fashioned aristocrats, who regard the land as their lifeblood, should hand over their land to the Empire, which is even more ridiculous than saying that the sun is coming out of the west.

But when the orders were signed by the Empress and issued from the palace, everyone realized...... It's all true.

The empire established the Western Frontier Administration, with its capital at the city of Sun, and appointed Count Ould as the first governor of the Western Frontier Administration.

Order the Imperial Cabinet to immediately formulate a plan for the administration of the Western Frontier.

The court conducts the selection of officials from the Western Frontier.

The Imperial General Staff immediately sent officers to the western frontier to collect the private soldiers of the nobles.

The Marquis of Meteorite was appointed as the supreme governor of the Provisional Western Frontier Administration, with full responsibility for the administrative and military affairs of the Western Frontier. After the empire has selected a suitable supreme governor, the government will be handed over.

All the nobles of the Western Frontier were given official titles, which could be transferred and inherited as honorary official positions.

……

The Empire had not yet recovered from this, and the first batch of urgently selected officers boarded the train to the West, along with the officers sent by the military.

At this time, Luke, as the supreme governor of the Western Frontier Agency, held the military and political power of the entire Western Frontier. He did not dare to be careless in the execution of the Western Territory Administration, and all the takeover of government and military affairs followed the principle of not seeking the best but the fastest, so as to prevent a possible backlash.

Empress Christina also had enough political wisdom to spend the night selecting officials, convening cabinet meetings again and again, and transporting truckloads of personnel and equipment to the west.

The imperial court was running with unprecedented efficiency, and it took less than a month to spread the personnel of the Western Sect on the various noble realms in the Western Territory.

All the private soldiers of the nobility were reorganized into the second-level reserve army of the empire, and those who were unwilling to serve as soldiers were dismissed, and then the departments were transferred from their original territories for land training.

Sheriffs were established in major cities, and after sheriffs recruited from all over the empire were in place, sheriffs managed the day-to-day security and operation of the cities in place of the lords.

The Imperial Secret Intelligence Bureau was established one by one.

In this way, the empire used the power of thunder, under the leadership of the Falling Star Shousuke, to swallow the entire western territory under the direct jurisdiction.

After arriving in Sunshine City, the Supreme Governor of the Western Frontier Agency, who had been nominated by the First Auxiliary and officially appointed by the Empress of the Imperial Prison, Luke left with a delegation to inspect the Western Frontier and embarked on his return journey back to the city of Saint-Lun.

Above the desert, a group of giant dragons, led by a golden dragon, lined up and flew eastward. When encountering the Imperial Chief's delegation inspecting the Western Realms, all the dragons roared together, as if to say hello.

Luke, riding on a camel, waved at the dragons and watched them disappear into the air.

Earl Ould rode his camel alongside Luke, his expression in shock at the sudden encounter with the dragon.

When he couldn't see the dragons, Count Ould couldn't help but admire: "The dragons are really awe-inspiring creatures. I didn't expect that the relationship between Shousuke-sama and the dragons would be so good, and he could invite so many dragons to protect the World Tree. ”

Luke looked at the undulating sand dunes ahead and said, "The dragons are willing to help because they can get what they want from me. These dragons are clever and will not work for us in vain.

Count Ould, you are now the Governor of the West, are you really leaving here to go on a world tour? ”

Count Ould looked at the back of the procession, and the long caravan consisted of more than half of the Ould family members and servants, as well as the wealth brought out.

"Now that I've decided to let the Empire take care of the territory, there's not much to be nostalgic about. I've seen the sand here all my life, I've really seen enough, and now I want to see the sea. When the empire develops Sunshine City, I'll come back for a few days. ”

Count Ould saw it thoroughly. If you continue to stay here, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of you to make trouble, and if you are really implicated, the rights and interests you get may fly. The Empire's stewardship of the Western Frontier will not be so smooth, especially without the Meteorite First Assistant, some things will rebound.

Therefore, I can hide out at this time to avoid blood splashing on my body and protect my family.

When everything settles down, it's never too late to come back.

Luke could read Count Ould's thoughts, and he smiled and said, "If you want to see the sea, go to the city of angry waves." Gifted to your estate, I have had people prepare. And I asked the Innovation Society to set up a group of brokers for you, you can rest assured that you can invest boldly in Nutao City, and they will tell you what industry to make money in Nutao City. ”

"Thank you, Lord Shousuke!" Count Ould laughed happily, the governor of Angry Waves City took his own investment, and it was difficult to make money or not. Then Count Ould turned around and asked, "Lord Shousuke, it's almost time to reach the Crescent Oasis, how long are you going to stay in Crescent City?"

If it's too long, I'll go first. ”

Count Ould is testing the risk of Crescent City, if the Falling Star Shousuke is ready to stay for a while longer, it means that he may have to deal with the second prince Alec, so he should leave as soon as possible to avoid danger.

Luke smiled and replied, "It shouldn't be long." ”

Crescent Oasis Crescent City, the news that the first assistant of the Meteorite has finished patrolling the western realm, and is about to return through the Crescent Oasis has already been sent by heralds.

The second prince, Alec, urgently convened a staff meeting to discuss how to deal with it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have seen what is happening in Crescent City these days. The Empire sent a cartload after cart of officials to the West, and once again our Shoufu Meteor performed a miracle. And...... Now that the Empire has recovered the West, is there still a need for our Westside Legion to exist? ”

Alec asked, but none of the staff or officers dared to answer.

Because it was obvious that the Western Legion no longer had the basis for existence, and the Falling Star Shousuke's passage through Crescent City this time would definitely not be a simple pass.

But knowing what to do, there is really not much that the second prince and the Western Legion can do.

Facing the cold scene, Alec said angrily: "Aren't you all usually able to speak, one is smarter than the other? Now it's time for you to use your talents, why are you all dumb! ”

Still no one dared to speak.

"Come to Oonard!" Alec simply named him: "You are my first thinker, you should be able to give me a good advice." ”

Leonard is a middle-aged man in scholar's attire with a very neatly trimmed mustache. Hearing Alec call his name, he stood up and saluted, then replied, "When Meteor was on his way to the Triumphal Fortress to pay his respects, His Highness Zinkelai announced that he had renounced his right to the throne and was able to retain control of the Northern Legions.

I think...... If Your Highness also renounces your right to the throne, I think the Falling Star Shousuke will also allow you to continue to control the Legion of the West. ”

Alec didn't expect his first brain to come up with such a bad idea for himself.

"That's what you're suggesting? Relinquishing the right to the throne? Then what else do I want from the Westfrontier Legion! ”

Another think tank made his own proposal: "Your Highness! When Meteorite arrives in Crescent City, you can pretend to be sick. If he can't see you, he can't talk about the Westside Legion, and after a long time, he will naturally leave. ”

Another bad idea.

Alec rebuked angrily: "The meteorite secretly entered the Western Realm, and in less than two months, it swallowed the Western Realm whole. If I pretend to be sick and don't see him, and when he leaves the Crescent Oasis, I'll probably take the Westside Legion with me.

Don't use your cleverness to challenge the wisdom of the meteorites. To hide, is to let him play freely! ”

Another think tank stood up: "Since the meteorite is so dangerous, why don't we ......"

The thinker made a cut gesture, and the meaning was self-evident.

Alec clutched his head in pain: "A bunch of waste! Your suggestion, General Jossier has already tried, what is the result?

I warn you, don't do anything out of bounds with meteorites. You are not nightingales, and I will not spare you as I have a nightingale......

Nightingale, why are you here? ”

Alec looked at the door of the conference room, and outside the open door was the nightingale. She was dressed in a ranger costume and carried a large bag on her back, covered in wind and sand.

Nightingale looked at Alec and said, "I have earned enough money to live a stable life away from the Empire for a while. This time, when I passed through Crescent City, I wanted to come and say goodbye to you.

Don't blame the guards, I forced my way in. ”

"Come in......" Alec let the nightingale in, sat down next to him, and looked at the nightingale's current appearance, he said with some guilt, "I can see that you have suffered a lot, and I hope you can understand that I had no choice but to drive you away."

In the face of the approaching star, I am already restless day and night, and if he catches the handle to assassinate him again, I am afraid that I will be the fate of General Joschel. ”

Nightingale said, "I can understand you. Especially after spending time with the meteorite, you can better understand why you are so afraid of him. ”

Alec asked, "Where did you see the meteorite?" ”

Nightingale replied, "In the tavern of the Scorched Wood camp." The meteorite recognized me and hired me to be his bodyguard. It was supposed to be half a month, but it was extended to two months, and I got a lot of money from the meteorite because of it. ”

Alec asked in surprise, "What do you mean...... You've been by his side during the meteorite's journey into the West? ”

Nightingale thought for a moment and replied, "Most of the time, it is." There were some things that needed to be kept secret, so he didn't let me follow. ”

Alec didn't know why Nightingale hired Nightingale as a guard, but since Nightingale had been following Nightingale during this period, it meant that she knew a lot of first-hand information, which was more valuable than hearsay.

"What has Meteorite done during this time, can you tell me more about it? If the meteorite doesn't allow you to leak secrets, when I didn't ask. ”

Nightingale laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I once asked Meteorite if I could tell anyone else what I heard and saw." He told me that what I heard and saw was what I could say.

It seems that he knows, and I can't help but come to you. ”

Alec understood that the Nightingale had not come to say goodbye, but to tell the Meteorite what it had done in the West.

Alec waved his hand and told everyone who had nothing to do with it to get out.

Then he affectionately grabbed Nightingale's hand: "Since Meteor has forgiven you, you can continue to stay with me." ”

The nightingale twitched her hand, and she straightened a strand of hair that covered her eyebrows, and said to Alec, "Your Highness, I have always known that you can't give me the future you said, and that I have been deceiving myself. Because I truly love you and can give everything for you, including my life.

Now that I've figured it out, even if I return to you this time, you'll not hesitate to do so the next time you need to abandon me.

I'm here just to let you know what kind of person you're facing.

And you...... There is love when it should be ruthless, and there is ruthlessness when it should be. If you were an ambitious monarch, you shouldn't have brought me back from Fury Waves; If you were a benevolent monarch, you shouldn't have brought me back and driven me away.

Now that I'm telling you, what the meteorites have done in the West, you must listen carefully. ”

Alec's mind was a mess, and he didn't listen to what the nightingale was telling. The nightingale's evaluation of herself just now is something that no one else would dare to say. They will only flatter themselves endlessly, convincing themselves that they are a prince who is obedient and well-befriended.

If he ascends to the throne, he must be a Ming monarch who can make some achievements.

But why did my father never appoint a prince?

Why does my father keep looking at himself and Fania unpleasantly?

Indecisive, vacillating, and unaccountable...... This is probably the reason why I was trapped in the Crescent Oasis step by step.

Nightingale leaves after telling Alec what she knows, ready to start a new life in a different place.

The next day, the Imperial Chief's delegation to the Western Frontier arrived in Crescent City. Instead of going to meet the second prince Alec, Shoufu Meteorite went directly to the special train that had been waiting here.

All the entourage and supplies entered the train, but Shousuke did not order the special train to start and sail towards the city of St. Lun.

Crescent City entered a pre-storm tranquil.

Everyone knew that the Imperial Primary's Meteorite would not leave Crescent City without taking anything with him, and since he could seize the opportunity to subdue the Western Realm, he would not let go of the opportunity to deal with the Western Legion.

And his ultimate goal must be the second prince Alec.

How will Alec respond?

Will you give up your right to the throne, or will you give up the Legion of the West, or will you give it a go?

The atmosphere in the entire Crescent City was extremely depressing, and people with a way to flee this place of right and wrong one after another.
