The Empress of the Empire was as low-key as ever, standing behind the Lightbringer Lilith Ingres with red-eyed eyes, although she did not have the majesty that an emperor should have, but it also made many people in Roland City have a good impression of the Empress, after all, it is rare to find a superior who is willing to cry for the loyal martyrs.

"By order of Doru Olympus IV, the fourth emperor of the Olympian Empire, the eternal Olympian Empire will activate the sacred fire of Roland City from today!"

Standing on the platform in front of the Valhalla, Wina West, the new lord of Roland City, with long red hair fluttering like a flag, uttered these words in an impassioned tone, and then she waved a ball of fire and lit the torch at the top of the thirty-meter-high monument.

The magnificent monument that serves as the base of the Imperial Martyrs' Spiritual Tablet Showroom is huge, the whole body is made of towering dark black magic granite, and the three-meter-square torch base at the top is filled with the special magic fuel doped with the crystal nucleus of the fire element, and after being lit by Duke Wella, the flames of the huge torch soar into the sky, and it is more than ten meters high.

"Holy fire?" Hade was dumbfounded, such an important matter Wei Na actually did not inform her family members in advance. Because judging from the expressions of the surrounding dependents, it was only at this time that everyone knew about this important decision related to the national policy of the empire.

"That must have been a decision made by the Empress or her staff in the morning. Hede looked at the immature Empress on the stage again.

"The torch of Roland is lit!"

The news spread quickly from front to back, and hundreds of thousands of Olympians who had come to participate in the memorial ceremony were excited, whether they were arrogant nobles or ordinary commoners.

The flame, which had not been re-lit for more than twenty years, evoked a long memory of the Olympians.

For the humans of the Olympian Empire, the Holy Fire was the equivalent of war. Or to put it bluntly, it is equal to a chance to get ahead. At the first ceremony of lighting the flame. The Olympian Empire had not yet been officially founded, and at that time, Olympus I Bixia was still an ambitious remote minor lord of the former Titan Empire. At that time, he lit the first torch in the history of the Olympian Empire, kicking off the prelude to the usurpation of the throne.

The most recent time the flame was lit in the city of Vout in the west of the empire twenty-five years ago, in order to open up the waters of the empire occupied by Warcraft, the then Olympus III Bixia came to Vout City to light the torch there.

In the seven years that the sacred fire of Watertown was burning, countless warriors from all over the empire flocked to the terrible ocean one after another to fight against the monsters that occupied the sea, and in just a few years, they forcibly captured the vast sea, and countless skilled craftsmen tried their best to create huge ships and various water war weapons that could resist the attacks of sea monsters. Dozens of small sea fortresses have even been built, keeping the western seas firmly in the hands of humans.

"This time it's revenge on the elves? It's just that if the holy flame of Roland City is lit, it should be to prepare for future wars. Hand thought to himself.

During the lighting of the flame, all nobles and commoners were awarded double their merits, as well as the monetary reward. The House of Heraldry will issue numerous tasks, or channels for obtaining meritorious deeds, such as acquiring various crystal nuclei in the name of the Empire.

Next, Wella announced the goal of this holy fire, the first is to completely eliminate the dark tide trapped in the Black Stone Forest, it is said that Roland City will establish a stronghold in the Black Stone Forest by air transportation in six months, and transport a strong and confident team into it to hunt the huge number of magical beasts inside.

The second is the acquisition of various types of crystal nuclei. This is an important national resource, and there are so many types of crystal nuclei that many people can't remember it at all, but after that, the Roland City Heraldic Academy will naturally distribute all kinds of relevant information. Of course, there are also various bounties that are beneficial to life and career, which has given Hide a lot of ideas.

zuihou。 It is to destroy the essentia forest on the current elven border, and every time you destroy a essentia forest tree to obtain the crystal nucleus of the natural plant spirit that is used as a medium inside, you will get a considerable reward if you hand it over to the merit assessment office. Of course, there will be elves who will stop you. Therefore, killing or capturing elves can also get huge rewards, which does not need to be explained by everyone.

"This task is not entrusted to the Imperial Army. Obviously, in order to attract nobles from all over the world to send personal guards and private soldiers to participate, even the four wealthy families of the imperial capital who knew that this would lead to certain losses would not and were unwilling to let go of this great opportunity to improve the status of family members. It will definitely consume a lot of the personal force of some great nobles,"

"Although it is also possible for many nobles to obtain elite subordinates with more actual combat experience, but the imperial royal family can just use this to determine most of the true strength and shili of the nobles, this kind of scheming strategy, I don't know if it is the perverted woman who has lived for nearly three hundred years or someone else came up with it. ”

Hade casually glanced at the Empress's side, the Lightbringer who had always been the focus of everyone's attention, and the mysterious Masked Man Empire's First Praetorian Guard.

“...... In the three years since the flame was lit, I invite you to work together. "Wella Zuihou announced the time limit for the flame to burn.

The agitated populace knew that the memorial ceremony was not suitable for cheers of joy, so they only expressed their support for the Empire's lighting of the Roland flame with loud applause. At this point, the ceremony was officially over, and the huge crowd began to rush back to the city, ready to inform relatives and friends who had not yet known about the lighting of the flame.

Accompanied by Wella, the Empress of the Empire and the Lightbringer will travel to the Disabled Barracks in the Inner City to heal the mutilated limbs of the disabled soldiers with Master Lilith's master-level white mage abilities.

"An emergency meeting of the families. "At present, the most senior first family, the head of the Griffin Knights, Arton, sent a personal guard to inform the families, and Hade also expected that this would definitely happen, so he rushed to the Duke of West's palace with several of his honorary knights without hesitation.

This family meeting can only be attended by the heads of the clans, and Head, as a lonely new baron, can be called the most shabby of the family members of the West. However, the other twelve family heads present did not ignore him, and everyone knew that this black-haired boy had climbed to his current position by virtue of his real exploits.

Several family heads first proposed the benefits of the Roland City Holy Fire Order to the West family, and there were also two stable family heads who felt that all aspects of management should be strengthened to avoid various incidents caused by a large number of outsiders entering Roland City.

"What do you think, Lord Head?" the Earl of Arton, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, noticed that the newly promoted young head of the family had not spoken.

"There are opportunities and risks, and everyone's experience and experience in this area is far better than mine, and I don't have any unique opinions. But I think it's better to let Mistress Wella or Duchess West test the royal family's opinion. ”

Earl Arton's heart moved slightly, this veteran nobleman in his forties certainly knew the meaning of Have's words.

"Do you mean that this Holy Flame has allowed us in Roland City not to worry too much about the acquisition of meritorious deeds, but should focus on a certain aspect according to Empress Bixia's wishes?"

"This is just my speculation, but I just think that when His Excellency Wela returns, he should bring the opinion of the royal family. ”

Although Hader's words are vague, there is some truth in them. Since Roland City is the home of the flame, of course, there will be special instructions from the royal family, and the families present have never experienced the flame incident before before so they did not think of this for a while, but everyone did agree with Hade's opinion, so they temporarily stopped discussing the direction of merit acquisition, and instead considered more pragmatic management countermeasures.

A short time later, Wella returned to the Duke's Court, and after listening to some of the opinions discussed at the meeting of the Lords of Arton, she was very satisfied, and nodded slightly to Hade in approval.

"The royal family did give me some tactful suggestions, but I can't be sure what the royal family thinks for a moment," Wella hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Your Excellency the Lightbringer means that we Roland City will do our best to be stewards rather than participants during this burning of the flame. ”

"I think Empress Bixia is probably sympathetic to the catastrophe that Roland City has just experienced, and fears that we will suffer even greater losses in order to show our loyalty to the Empire. Wella was not too confident to say what she thought.

Hade nodded slightly, although it was not quite right, but Wella still understood the true meaning of the royal family.

Earl Arton spoke: "It is true that it will take a short time for our Roland City to recover its strength in all aspects, for example, it will take at least five years for the griffin troops to recover their former strength, and I believe that the royal family has also taken this into account." ”

"But we can't be left behind, especially since His Excellency Grand Duke Gretel has just passed away, and His Excellency Wella needs to increase his prestige and influence among the nobles and the people as soon as possible. A half-elf clan head of the clan advised.

"In fact, I think it is also a great credit to be able to recover the losses of Roland City in all aspects as soon as possible, and these are the most basic and important things for us Roland City. Head had to point it out.

Several heads of the clan, including the Earl of Arton, nodded in agreement.

"As for the way to increase the prestige of Lord Wella, it is actually very simple, and we will handle all the trivial affairs, which are also the responsibility of our family. And Lord Wella should concentrate on cultivation, improve his strength as soon as possible, and cooperate with the cultivation of wolf fighting, as long as he becomes a master, who would dare to despise the prestige of the West family?"

Haven's reminder was simple and clear, not only did all the dependents present have no objections, but even Wella herself appreciated the suggestion, she was originally not very good at handling complicated government affairs, not that she didn't understand it at all, but she was not as good as her father.

So everyone roughly set the future development of Roland City in this direction, and then ended the meeting. More specific transactions, of course, are carried out separately, and only need to report on the process and results, which should not be handled in great detail by the top of the pyramid.

Wella, on the other hand, met with Beard alone after the meeting, saying that he had something important to discuss.

"You mean to let me go out with you alone for cultivation?" Wella looked at Hade in surprise. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
