Chapter 82 The Status of the Royal Court(1/2)
At this time, Qingkong was standing by the window of the room, wearing a blouse stained by wind and sand. Shaking off the sand, he took off his blouse. Inside was the magic professor robe of Oulu College.
Then Qingkong walked towards the door of the room and said: "It seems that I arrived in time. You continue to talk, I will rest, and you will let me know when you will take action."
Qingkong opened the door and walked out, asking the attendant waiting outside to take him to a rest room.
During the whole process, Earl Urd was dumbfounded.
This elf must be too courageous to be so rude to the princess of the empire.
Looking at the eldest princess, she seemed to be used to the elf's behavior. Instead of being angry because of it, she looked happy.
Earl Urd asked carefully: "Which master is this elf magician?"
The clear sky has arrived, and Agatha knows that Meteor has revealed his trump card. Although she doesn't know what exactly happened, she can just sit back and wait for victory as before.
Agatha, who was in a happy mood, said to Count Urd: "This is Miss Qingkong, the head of the Occult Studies Department of Oulu Academy in Raging Waves City, the dean of the St. Lun City Branch of Oulu Academy, and a member of the Upper Council of Raging Waves City.
In the battle against the Temple of the Abyss in the City of Raging Waves and the City of Holy Lun, Miss Qingkong successively killed the seventh apostle Harriman, the fifth apostle Portlem, and the fourth apostle Maurice of the Abyss Temple.
No matter which apostle is sent by the Abyss Temple, just leave it to Miss Qingkong to deal with."
Hearing that the elf mage who just walked by turned out to be such a person, Earl Urd couldn't help but stand in awe, and at the same time he was glad that he had surrendered in time. It was obvious that the eldest princess and the Governor of the Fallen Star were ready to close the net, and his arrival would only lower their confidence.
It's just difficulty.
"Your Highness, Lord Governor, when will we destroy the rebels?"
Agatha looked at Luke and asked, "When do you think the time is right?"
Luke waited for Qingkong to arrive in the room and log off the line. The battery on his phone was red and bottomed out, making him sweat secretly.
The prices of goods in Sun Yao City increased, and the great nobles of the Western Region arrived. Luke knew that the decisive game would start at any time, so he asked Qingkong to come to Sun Yao City as quickly as possible to support.
Qingkong handed over the establishment of the Moonlight King's Court of Elders to Gao Lan, the high priest of the fierce war song, leaving Zhan Fenni and the others to attend the harvest festival with the Moonlight King's envoys, while she rushed to Sunlight City at full speed alone.
Fortunately, he arrived before the battery was completely exhausted, and Luke immediately asked Clear Sky to go offline to recharge in preparation for the upcoming battle.
After hearing Agatha's inquiry, Luke asked Count Urd: "When are they going to take action?"
"Gather at two o'clock in the morning and launch a full-scale attack on the central island castle at three o'clock. At that time, there will be mages on the frozen lake, and the rebels can encircle it through the ice."
Luke took out his pocket watch and checked the time.
10:23 am.
Luke considered restoring as much power as possible to Clear Sky, and after some deliberation he said: "To besiege us, Erguya will definitely go all out and not give the nobles of the West any room to turn. He will concentrate all the resources he brought to Sun Yao City.
With all his strength, he put all his strength into the battle at night.
This gives us the opportunity to bring them all together and eliminate them.
Since the rebels set the time at three in the morning, we also set the time at three in the morning. At that time, Her Royal Highness the Princess will be responsible for defending the castle and stabilizing the nobles in the West. The Earl, the Earl, and Miss Qingkong will concentrate our efforts on Erguya.
.”
Agatha considered Luke's countermeasures.
The nobles of the Western Region are smarter than the others. They are definitely not willing to bear the crime of killing the eldest princess of the empire. Therefore, as long as Erguya does not take action, they will never move. By sitting in the middle and stabilizing the nobles of the Western Region, they can fight for the encirclement and suppression of Erguya.
time.
"Okay, let's execute according to the plan of Governor Meteor."
Earl Urd discussed some details of the joint operation at night with Agatha and Luke, and then quietly left the Central Lake Castle.
Luke also talked about what he had done in Sunshine City during this period and the changes in the Ancestors Grassland.
Hearing that the World Tree has revived, the Moonlight Court has been established, and Qingkong is now the Queen of Moonlight.
Agatha was completely stunned.
"Are you kidding me? The clear sky comes from the grassland of the ancestors and is a fierce war song. Now you are the queen of the Moonlight Court?"
Luke spread his hands helplessly: "I just asked Qingkong to go to the Grassland of the First Men to gather the power of the barbarians to put pressure on Earl Urd by resurrecting the World Tree, but I didn't expect that the current World Tree would share the legacy of the previous World Tree with Qingkong.
Clear Sky is a ferocious war song, and has the rationality to lead the barbarians in the Western Territory."
Agatha could only slowly accept this information, while thinking about what impact the appearance of the Moonlight Court would have on the western region of the empire.
She quickly asked Luke: "Qingkong has become the queen of the Moonlight Court. Even when I see her, I have to call her 'Your Majesty'. Her status has been seriously distanced from you. Can your relationship be as stable as before?"
?"
Luke answered affirmatively: "My relationship with Qingkong will not be shaken by any changes."
"Why?" Agatha asked.
Luke smiled meaningfully: "No comment, anyway, you just need to know this fact."
Agatha couldn't understand how the relationship between Qingkong and Qingkong could be so strong. Although Qingkong had denied that she and Qingkong were lovers, it was impossible for them to have such an unbreakable relationship even if they were lovers.
If what Meteor said is true, the Empire must reconsider how it treats Clear Sky and Meteor.
"The Empire has the right to rule the West!"
Agatha said what she cared about most. Although the empire's forces had never really entered the Western Territory, they had always claimed that the Western Territory was the empire's territory. Now the Moonlight Royal Court suddenly appeared in the Western Territory, and it naturally had a centripetal force towards the barbarians in the Western Territory.
An existence that can truly separate this vast land from the empire's territory.
Of course, Luke also knew that the appearance of the Moonlight Court had put a lot of pressure on Agatha. If it was not handled properly, it might become a more serious incident than the rebellion of the Western nobles.
"The World Tree is a great existence that existed at the same time as the five ancient civilizations. Although it was destroyed in ancient wars, it still nourished the Western Region with its remaining roots for thousands of years. Miss Qingkong traveled around the world to find a way to revive the World Tree.
Now she has succeeded.
Now the empire must face up to the existence of the World Tree and respect its influence in the Western Territory."
Agatha said: "The Empire must not give up the Western Territory now, otherwise our war against Tedga Hills will have no legal support. I hope that the Moonlight Court will be declared a vassal state of the Golden Shield Empire, and the Empire can give the Moonlight Court a place in the Western Territory
maximum autonomy.
This is the limit of what the Empire will concede."
Of course Luke would not agree to this request, and he also knew that Agatha would be unable to make greater concessions. He said as a friend: "Agatha, you haven't figured out how much impact the resurrection of the World Tree will have on the world.
.
Because the Moonlight Royal Court inherited the legacy of the previous generation of World Tree, it is equivalent to the existence of the five ancient civilizations. And because the previous generation of World Tree was destroyed in ancient wars, the Moonlight Royal Court is the victim of the suffering, and it is necessary to investigate the five ancient civilizations.
Civilized and responsible.
Do you think the Moonlight Royal Court can deal with the five Five Dynasties civilizations as a vassal state? Which one is more beneficial to the empire if the Moonlight Royal Court demands compensation or to a vassal state with a high degree of autonomy?"
Luke's words instantly made Agatha's mind come alive.
She asked Luke in a low voice: "Moonlight Kingdom still wants compensation from five ancient civilizations?"
"Of course we have to compensate!" Luke said firmly: "The last generation of World Tree offended whomever it offended! It nourished all living beings without asking for anything. Five civilizations fought and burned such a great World Tree at the request of others. Why?
!
In the past, no one could speak out for World Tree, but now that the current World Tree has inherited the previous generation of World Tree, it is completely reasonable and legal for the Moonlight Palace to hold the successors of the five ancient civilizations accountable."
Agatha felt that what Meteor said was very reasonable.
The previous generation of World Tree had never participated in ancient wars, and was simply shot while lying down. As the successor of the previous generation of World Tree, this generation of World Tree is definitely standing at the highest point of morality by holding accountable the five ancient civilizations.
, the five ancient civilizations couldn’t even refute.
Although the five ancient civilizations are low-key and not as powerful as before, after all, they are all civilizations composed of extraordinary species. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If they want to come out and cause trouble, no country can handle them.
If the Moonlight Royal Court really pursues claims against the five ancient civilizations, the empire is indeed not suitable to include the Moonlight Royal Court as a tributary state. Moreover, if the Moonlight Royal Court offends the five ancient civilizations and burns the World Tree, the empire should stand further away.
But just letting the Moonlight Court cut off the Western Territory from the empire's territory is really a headache for the empire, and it cannot calm down the internal opposition.
"Is there no other more suitable solution?" Agatha asked Luke and said firmly: "You must have a way."
Luke also knew that with the current situation of the Golden Shield Empire, poaching the Western Territory would kill it. Moreover, the rule of the Moonlight Court was at a spiritual level, and the size of the territory was not important.
"The Western Territory is still owned by the Empire, but the barbarian tribes and oases that have submitted to the Moonlight Kingdom must be autonomous. The territory of the Moonlight Kingdom is the Oasis of the Ancient People, and it enjoys the same level of independence and autonomy as the Golden Shield Empire.
This is the bottom line, no more concessions can be made!”
Agatha imagined the location of the Western Territory and the Grasslands of the Ancestors. If divided according to the meteorite, the Moonlight Palace was a country within a country embedded in the Western Territory of the Golden Shield Empire. The area was not too large. Considering the special status of the World Tree, this
It would not be a bad idea to create an oasis to give the Moonlight Royal Court independence.
As for the autonomy of the barbarians in the Western Region...the empire has no control over that. As for future matters, they can wait until later, but now it is better to solve the immediate problem first.
"This is probably a division that both parties can barely accept. Moreover, the Moonlight Royal Court cannot treat it as a country in the traditional sense. On behalf of the Golden Shield Empire, I can admit that the Moonlight Royal Court is an equal existence to the empire, but the territorial division is still unclear.
It requires the emperor’s approval.”
Luke said cheerfully: "Qingkong has to return to the imperial capital anyway, and I have time to talk to His Majesty."
Agatha couldn't help but ask: "Small Qingkong... Is Her Majesty the Queen going to St. Lun City for a visit? Or is she a permanent resident?"
"Let's call Qingkong privately. We are all friends, so there is no need to get too irritated." Luke said with a smile: "Qingkong and I used magic messengers to communicate. She felt that she had been away from the ancestors' grassland for too long, and there were many
Things were unfamiliar to her, so she established the Elders' House in the Royal Court, and the House of Elders was responsible for all the affairs of the Royal Court. She... returned to Shenglun City to continue being her magic professor, teaching the children while studying."
Agatha was really surprised to hear that Qingkong left the Queen alone and refused to return to the academy and continue to be a magic professor. "Miss Qingkong's mind is admirable."
Luke rubbed his head, which was a little tired from overthinking, and said to Agatha: "Didn't you just say that the Moonlight Court is not a country in the traditional sense, and Qingkong wants to hold the five ancient civilizations accountable on behalf of World Tree.
To be continued...
