Amid the cheers of the Empire, Empress Christina walked to the front of the auditorium and gave a speech to the subjects of the Empire.

"The past year has been the most dangerous year for the Empire. While we encounter a rebellion, we also have to face the invasion of the enemy, and the whole court is loose and pessimistic, and the danger is lurking. At that time, there were persuasions to abandon the northern frontier and retreat to the city of St. Lun; Some say peace with the rebels; There are those who use war to make their own profits; Some people think about how to divide the empire when it collapses.

The past year has been a year for the empire to enter a new peak. Angry Waves City has become recognized as the most prosperous and promising city in the world; The empire set up the Western Frontier Administration, which brought the vast western frontier under the direct rule of the empire; The most powerful 10,000-ton dreadnought-class warships joined the Imperial Navy, making the Empire's maritime frontiers safer than ever; The Oulu Academy and the Alchemist Guild of Angry Waves have joined forces to establish the Magic Guiding Laboratory, which has led the empire to the next technological explosion.

The past year has also been a year that has made me sad. The great Augustine the Great has unfortunately left me, the empire that he has guarded all his life. In the face of internal and external troubles, we can only hide His Majesty's passing from the outside world, which is also His Majesty's deathbed wish.

Thankfully, we have lived up to the trust placed in us by Augustine the Great. His Highness Alec made an important contribution to the Empire's recovery of the western frontiers; His Highness Sinclair kept the rebels firmly in the Tedgar Hills; Her Royal Highness Agatha, the eldest princess, has been sending a steady stream of enemy information to our generals.

There is also the youngest and most accomplished Shoufu Meteorite in the history of the Empire, and it is his constant running to solve one problem after another for the Empire that has led to the grand occasion we celebrate here today. He has lived up to the trust and importance that Emperor Augustine placed in him, and he will continue to lead the empire into the next journey.

I believe that a new chapter in the empire is beginning at this moment. Royalty, aristocrats, officials, soldiers, merchants, scholars, and commoners will be more united, and we will build the empire stronger.

The Empire will become the leader of human civilization and write the era of civilization that belongs to us!

Now let's celebrate the victory.

Please ask the Imperial Imperial Cabinet to direct the military parade, the Governor of Nuant Waves City, the Imperial Minister of Energy, and the Commander-in-Chief of the City Garrison Corps of Shenglun City. ”

When Empress Christina finished speaking, a cavalry came out of the palace gates.

Luke rode a royal horse in ornate horse armor, and behind him was Prince Alec, Emperor Sinclair, and a group of high-ranking officers of the Imperial Army, followed by a squad of Royal Knights led by Millscombe.

Dressed in the armor of the Honorary Royal Knight bestowed by Augustine the Great, with insignia and ribbons representing his title, official position, honor, and status, Luke held the Imperial Staff in his hand and wore a large red cloak behind him.

The cavalry ran out of the palace and patrolled the procession of troops lined up for review along the avenue in front of the palace.

The Imperial Army participating in the parade consisted of: three cavalry phalanxes, five infantry phalanxes, seven phalanxes from the Snow Legion, and two or three phalanxes from the main forces of each empire; There are imperial military academies, there are navy and marines; There are four phalanxes of chariots and war machines; There are Steam Titans and a new Magic Concept weapon display phalanx.

No matter what thoughts these armies had before, they were all pinched together by Luke at this moment. The senior commanders of those legions followed him, and even the princes and grandsons did not disagree.

The soldiers had also heard the glorious deeds of the Imperial Chief, and knew that without the Meteorite, they would never stand here with such an honorable mood.

They looked at the meteor and shouted over and over again in the loudest voice: "Honor belongs to the Empire!" ”

"Honor belongs to the Empire!"

After reviewing the Imperial Army, Luke led the officer corps back to the palace and ascended to the auditorium.

He walked up to the microphone and held aloft the Imperial Staff that symbolized the command of the Supreme Army of the Empire: "I announce: the parade begins!" To the departed Augustine the Great, to the great Empress Christina, to offer the loyalty of the soldiers of the Empire. ”

The military band played the Imperial Triumphal March, and the Imperial troops passed through the palace avenue in turn.

The new super-heavy steam airships HMS Empress and USS Kirov are like two mountains, flying over the palace square against the backdrop of hundreds of steam airships of various types. Interspersed between the airships were gargoyle formations, as well as a group of griffons and pegasus imported from the Emerald Forest.

Finally, five steam wings roared low at altitude under the control of the pilot.

The voice of the people was a tsunami of mountains and a tsunami, making the soldiers who walked in front of the palace raise their heads higher.

As if stimulated by this atmosphere, the dragons let out a high-pitched dragon roar, and several dragons even flew up, thinking of joining the reading of the aerial cluster. Fortunately, the golden dragon King Tyron called these young dragons back, otherwise I don't know what would have happened.

But this has already shocked the delegates of various countries who came to watch the ceremony.

Before the parade began, they felt the strength of the Golden Shield Empire, and after the parade began, they found that they still underestimated the strength of the Golden Shield Empire.

Especially when the two super-heavy steam airships came at high speed from a distance, several representatives of small countries who had never seen the world were so frightened that they almost collapsed on the ground when they saw the shark head of the airship.

Everyone was glad in their hearts that they had come, thinking about how to reassess the battle between the Golden Shield Empire and the World Bank. With such weapons and weapons development technology, can the Golden Shield Empire be blocked by the "League of Nations"?

It didn't take long, and the parade ended in unfinished business.

The city enters the stage of float parade and national carnival.

The palace held a cocktail party to entertain guests from afar.

At the reception, Luke, on behalf of the Golden Shield Empire, signed an agreement with the visiting Shamrock King to join the "Free Trade Body". Then, with Speaker Webster, he signed an agreement on the accession of the Kingdom of Leo to the "Free Trade Body".

So far, in full view of the representatives of various countries, the "free trade system" dominated by the Golden Shield Empire has made zero breakthroughs. Moreover, it has held an important sea passage with the Kingdom of Leo, and has once again strengthened its relationship with the Dragon Kingdom through the Emerald Forest.

The "free trade body" of the Golden Shield Empire has the capital to confront the "League of Nations" with the World Bank in international trade, rather than only passively defending.

Immediately after signing the two agreements, Luke announced several sanctions against the World Bank. It was also announced that the World Bank would be fined 10 billion Reichsmarks for financing the Reichstagnauts.

The eldest princess Agatha also took out the incriminating evidence found by the Imperial Secret Intelligence Bureau in due time and handed it over to the representatives of various countries for circulation. Overtly and covertly, countries are warned to be careful about setting up World Bank branches in their own countries, and the World Bank is going further and further down the path of violent interference in government affairs.

At the reception, Luke was very active in communicating with the representatives of various countries, and Karina followed him to keep a record of new orders and cooperation projects.

It can be described as a joy for both the host and the guest.

As the party dragged on into the evening, a group of royal knights walked in from outside. The clanging of armor made the lively hall immediately silent, and everyone looked at the knights who had entered.

The royal knights entered and stood in two teams facing each other, separated by a middle aisle, and then the royals, led by Alec and Sinclair, walked in from the outside, with retinues holding golden trays containing crowns, scepters, and imperial codes.

A group of royals stopped offstage, and Alec walked onto the stage, where the court officials set up the microphone for him.

"Greetings to all guests from afar, imperial nobles and court officials! I am Alec Augustine, the second son of Augustine the Great, and I have something important to announce and invite you to testify. ”

The people in the hall were all watching Alec, some already knowing what he was going to say, while others were guessing what he wanted to do.

Alec paused, took a deep breath and continued, "My father, Augustine the Great, was a great emperor who made the most critical decisions for the empire at the most critical moment, allowing the empire to keep up with this explosion of human civilization.

His forward-looking vision and courage to break with tradition have contributed to the glory of the current empire.

As the son of an emperor with such merits, I have always had a lot of pressure. Because human life is short, I am preparing for the takeover of the empire. But Fania and I have never been recognized by my father, and we don't know why, so we will only do everything we can to fight for the crown prince. What we are doing now is ridiculous, and Fania even staged a coup d'état.

It wasn't until I saw the queen in power that I understood what I was missing.

At this time, the challenges facing the empire need a leader who can hold his head up and look forward, not a gentleman who knows nothing but infighting, and I am a loser even in infighting.

During this period of rest, the absence of burdens allowed me to think about some things very clearly. The father appointed the queen to supervise the country, but in fact, he had already decided who would lead the future of the empire. As the only surviving son of Augustine the Great, I support his decision.

Therefore, I have enlisted the consent of all members of the royal family to elect Christina Augustine as Emperor of the Empire, and lead the Augustinian family and the empire to new glory! ”

The imperial officials and nobles in the audience clapped their hands and shouted:

"Empress Christina!"

"Empress Christina!"

"Empress Christina!"

……

Christina walked to the stage surrounded by officials and guards, and Alec stepped aside and bowed.

The priest who had already prepared put the crown on Christina, and placed the scepter and the codex in her hands.

The nobles and officials of the empire recited ancestral prayers together, asking the ancestors who founded the empire to bless the ancient nation.

Christina completed the coronation of the Emperor with solemn music and blessings.

When she raised her scepter in front of the audience, the audience erupted in applause.

Agatha applauded, with a very complicated expression, and she said to Luke beside her: "The coronation went more smoothly than I expected, and I arranged for a lot of spies to be here, just for fear that something unexpected would happen." ”

Luke laughed and said, "We've done so much just to make this moment go well. The empire needed a smooth transition of power, and we did. ”

"Yes, we did! When are you leaving? ”

Luke looked left and right and whispered, "Early tomorrow morning!" Red Flame has urged me many times, the other party is menacing, and he is very dangerous. ”

Agatha stopped clapping and looked at Luke, "Leaving tomorrow?" All right...... It's dangerous, but I believe you, and you miss it every day. ”

Luke was tingled by Agatha's eyes, and he reminded, "Pay attention to the occasion, so many people are watching, my eldest princess." ”

Agatha smiled and looked back at the stage, and whispered, "Come to Rose Manor tonight." ”

"Do your will, my princess!"

After the coronation, Christina officially became the empress of the Golden Shield Empire, and immediately issued a number of appointments.

One of the most unexpected, but unproblematic commands is......

The Meteorite Plus Lord is the Duke of Angry Waves City, and his fief is the entire territory of Angry Waves City.

Then there was the engagement ceremony between the Duke of Meteor and the eldest princess of the empire, Agatha, which once again pushed the ceremony to a new climax.

At this time, in a small fountain garden in the palace, Clear Sky walked alone in the garden path. The coronation of the empress and the engagement of the eldest princess Meteor represent another strengthening and concentration of imperial power, which is a great encouragement for the empire and the covenant.

"Miss Weatherlight, why did you come out of it?" A dark shadow floated up from the ground, taking on the appearance of a demonic tyrant, and he said indignantly, "You have done so much for the meteorite, he is going to marry a human woman, I really want to teach him a lesson for you." ”

Clear Sky said coldly to the tyrant, "Don't try to provoke my relationship with the falling star!" No matter what he and I face, there will be no gap, and as a demon, you can't feel it. ”

The Demon Tyrant hurriedly explained: "I didn't provoke your relationship with the Falling Star, I just think it's ......"

"Let's stop this topic. Are you ready to go back to hell? ”

The Demon Tyrant said, "I have long wanted to go back to hell, but those juniors are all stronger than me, which makes me very shameless...... If I can't beat them, I won't be able to grab the ground. ”

The demonic tyrant tells the truth.

Clear Sky said, "You have been sealed for too long to adapt to the state of losing the artifact. Although the World Tree has found its divinity, it will take some time before it becomes an artifact.

I've got a tube of potions, would you like to try it? ”

"What is it?"

Clear Sky spread out her hand, and a needle filled with flame-like liquid lay in the palm of her hand: "This is the mysterious substance mixture 'Aria of the Burning Cloud Tide', which is an extremely strong permanent fire attribute enhancement potion.

You're lucky that I accidentally made two copies this time, one at the Meteorite and one here. ”

Demons are all pro-fire elemental physiques, and the artifact of hell is also the Red Flame Torch that represents destruction. Therefore, when the demonic tyrant heard that such a small tube of potion could permanently enhance the fire attribute, he reached out and wanted to grab it.

The tyrant still controlled his inner desires and asked, "There is no potential danger, right?" ”

Clear Sky laughed and said, "It's potentially dangerous, will I let the meteorite use it?" Although you didn't inject the first four potions to change your constitution, you are a demon, and your constitution is strong enough to withstand the 'Aria of the Burning Clouds'.

It allows you to become the demon with the strongest fire-attribute magic. ”

The demonic tyrant immediately licked his smiling face: "Miss Sunny Sky, I'm willing to try...... Get the shot now. ”
