The beautiful city that used to have elegant decorations and elven-style carvings has now been submerged in red. The red and green rose flags in the past have all been replaced by bloody rose flags, symbolizing the changes in the country's power structure.
In the Rose Palace, countless officials and representatives from all parties gathered together, standing solemnly and quietly in the hall, watching the supreme king slowly walking up the steps.
Wearing a golden-red cloak and a well-fitting and exquisite gold-leaf armor, Aimank walked step by step on the dark red velvet carpet. The heavily armed knights on both sides saluted, holding overlapping long swords.
The halberds parted to make way for them.
At the end of the steps, a golden crown inlaid with gems shone brightly, and at this time, a young man with a similar appearance was already standing aside.
This young man's dress was elegant and luxurious, and he was the highest-profile person in the venue besides Ai Manke. When Ai Manke saw him, he nodded slightly and showed a rare smile.
They were twin brothers, the most trustworthy beings in the world, half bodies that could feel each other's emotions, and another mirror of themselves. If it hadn't been for that accident, they should have worn the crown and sat on the throne at the same time.
But the world is constantly changing, and under the current situation, we can no longer follow the old path, so this time he will ascend the throne alone and change the system of the Green Empire for thousands of years.
"Welcome to Your Majesty Emmank..." The attendants on the side announced a long name, and then the soldiers and officials present bowed their heads and saluted, and read out the oath of allegiance.
"We swear to follow His Majesty Aimank to the death and be loyal to the Canghong Empire forever until the end of our lives!"
The neat sound waves were like a tsunami, echoing in the hall and unable to stop for a long time.
After the change of power, Aimank simply gave up on balancing the elves who were a minority of the population. Instead, he took up the banner of revival in the past and reaffirmed the lofty status of humans in the empire. The past policies and laws that favored elves have been
Cut them off one by one.
Today's empire has long been extremely powerful, and it no longer needs to rely on the power of the elves as it did thousands of years ago. After abandoning these constraints, the emperor's policies and guidelines can be implemented more smoothly and with force. So in love
According to Mank, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
"This is our land, our people, and our power. Why should we share it with outsiders?" Compared with four years ago, Aimanke is stronger, more determined and confident today.
Looking at Amanke sitting on the throne, Edron shook his head slightly.
"Although you no longer rely on the power of elves, you don't need to offend or persecute them too much. After all, they are still people in our empire. There is no need to force them to the opposite side."
"Hahaha, I don't care much about this, but since it is your suggestion, I will still consider it. From now on, you will be responsible for the elves, my half, the Prime Minister."
After Edmank ascended the throne and was reorganized, there was naturally only one throne for the emperor. After he sat on it, the position of the first person under the throne was given to Edron, his twin brother. The two dominated the domestic affairs.
Matters big and small.
Three days later, a grand military parade was held in Titania.
The warriors in full armor lined up, their cold spears and blades reflecting the light of scales in the sunlight, and they trampled the ground in uniform steps, making a trembling sound.
Along with the teams and phalanxes advancing, there are also the bright red flags, the bloody moon wrapped with thorns, dotted with blooming bright red roses. Such patterns are naturally adapted from the past Cang Yue Kingdom.
Heraldry.
The military parade was so huge that even the big city of Titania could not accommodate it. They entered the city in the morning and left in the afternoon, returning to the camp outside the city, while another group of troops in the camp
Continue to the city for inspection.
The soldiers in black armor were like a stream that never stopped. Their neat footsteps, high-pitched slogans, and the sound of friction and collision of gold and iron never stopped from day to night.
The powerful military power and mighty warriors intimidated the major families in the city in the past, causing them to hide in their houses and tremble, not daring to challenge the emperor's authority again.
Compared with the days when the great nobles were entrenched in the past, the empire has now cleared away the smog and established a new military merit promotion mechanism. As long as you perform meritorious service on the battlefield and obtain enough meritorious service, you can be granted a title and enjoy superior treatment. And even if you are
In the past, nobles who wanted to inherit the title had to risk their lives and go to the battlefield to achieve merit in person, so that they could inherit the title.
The empire does not need mediocre and useless people without any ability. All that matters is ability and merit.
Such a policy naturally received strong support from the military, and after gaining the allegiance of millions of soldiers in the empire, the emperor also had the power to change everything. The former clans and factions were overthrown one by one, which also opened the door for the lower levels.
With space and channels for improvement, the pent-up grievances were finally vented, and the entire society began to burst out with new vitality.
After the war between Crancia and Frost Rose, even though the Frost Alliance failed, the technologies it displayed such as golems, muskets, airships, and battleships still attracted the emperor with great ambitions.
Under his instructions, the legions on the southern border began to vigorously recruit and accept mages who had lost their country.
"If Crancia does not accept you and regards you as sinners of history and makes it difficult for you to survive, then you can come to us."
"Become His Majesty the Emperor's sharp blade and arrow, wash away the shame of the past, and continue to pass on the teachings of the past. This is your future mission."
Under such temptation and persuasion, some mages gave up their hatred of the green, fell into the arms of their former enemies, and began to forge sharp claws for this gradually awakening lion.
However, not all mages of the Frost Alliance are like this. After seeing the catastrophic scene, some mages finally realized and regretted why everything had reached this regrettable situation.
They were also recruited by Crancia and became the "Atoners" with tattoos on their faces, contributing their strength and knowledge to this new country in order to redeem some of the mistakes they made back then.
For these mages, Crancia did not directly accept and use them, but brought them to the capital Solander to receive the teachings left by the sages of Loland Hill and let them relearn and accept transformation before entering actual production.
and at work.
And in the end, they will be like water, slowly integrating into this country and becoming a part of this country, just like other ordinary professions, instead of being the representatives and leaders of the country like in the past.
After all, technology exists for people, to make people happier and more convenient. If it deviates from this path and reverses priorities, it cannot be called good technology, but a tool used for torture and exploitation.
But now, after the world has been reshuffled, a new round of competition has begun again. And on this new stage, what kind of stories and legends will be born.
