Chapter 672 Invitation
Among the eighteen cities above Jingchen's fiefdom, each city has at least two or three relatively large families. It received an invitation from Jingchen, the third prince of the Holy Spirit Empire, to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new lords held in Gama City at the end of February.
Originally, this celebration was understandable. After all, when the new lord takes office, these families of some local forces should indeed attend. Whether it is to please the new lord or to be familiar with it, it is inevitable to go there. Otherwise, if you don’t go there and other families in the same city go there, you may not have a good life in this city.
But every family, especially the leaders of the family, has heard of one thing, that is, the new lord, His Highness, the third prince of the empire, has no power, because Jing Chen is not the biological son of Emperor Lingjia, but just a son. After Emperor Lingjia ordered the withdrawal of his troops, he only left him a thousand people.
Although the territory of this area with only eighteen cities is not large, and the surrounding areas are all the Holy Spirit Empire, so there is no need to consider the issue of guarding, no matter how you look at this, you are not even able to maintain public order in various places. Therefore, many families have begun to plan to clear out other forces in their cities. No matter what, the third prince of the empire should not have so much time and energy to manage themselves.
Unfortunately, their wishful thinking was completely broken at the moment the light golden puppet appeared. The leaders of each family knew that perhaps the third prince did not have enough troops to eradicate all the forces of their family, but it was easy to kill the core members of these families. Not to mention that these families, even among the four major families of Gama, the strongest existence was only level seven.
But this is just a legend, and many people don’t believe it. They really cannot believe that a level seven strong man, a strong man who is enough to have a place on the continent, would live in the place of Gama. However, many of these families know that there are level six strong men among the four major families, and more than one. However, level six and level seven are not the same concept at all. According to some ancient books, a level seven puppet is enough to deal with a level seven ordinary strong man. Therefore, the strength of this new lord has to be re-evaluated.
What made these patriarchs even more afraid of was that they received invitations almost the same day and at the same time. Obviously, these invitations could not be given by a puppet. Even if the puppet was a level seven puppet, even if the puppet flew across the entire fiefdom for more than ten hours, it would not allow all families to receive invitations at the same time. Therefore, the leaders of these families had to face a fact that they could not believe. The new lord had at least dozens of level seven puppets in his hands.
Dozens!
This is a number that even imagined would make these patriarchs tremble all over the body. The power represented by this number is enough to allow the new lord to destroy all disharmonious voices in a short period of time. No one can believe that the young man under the age of twenty in the legend actually had such terrifying strength in his hands.
But they had to believe what happened next. The Nangong family and the Xing clan, these two families with a history of even a longer history than the history of the Gama Kingdom, were completely erased overnight. After that night, all the people of the two clans seemed to have evaporated on earth, and no one had seen them appear again.
Some people who know the inside story of Gama City, such as some people from the Oba family, even knew that Gama City was very uneasy that night. First, more than a dozen light golden figures broke through the sky, and then there was a battle where even the core members and elders of the Oba family felt trembling when they recalled it. It was simply a unilateral massacre. In the face of absolute strength, the Nangong family and the Xing family had almost no room for resistance.
In February 9004, the mainland calendar was no different for all ordinary people living in the central province of the original Gama Kingdom. The chaotic scene after the imagined war did not come. Everyone still lived their own lives, leaving early and returning late every day, holding an income that was not rich but enough to support their families.
But for the families who received invitations among the eighteen cities, this was an extremely depressing time. Since the troops of the Holy Spirit Empire withdrew and handed over the management of this territory to the third prince, the security of this area suddenly improved. Although there were still some old subordinates of the defeated Gama Kingdom planning to disrupt social security in various ways, unfortunately, for some reason, these people would always disappear without realizing it, as if they had never appeared.
During this period, this territory ruled by the third prince was even more peaceful than the surrounding Holy Spirit Empire. Many well-informed people knew that most of the rebels were either incorporated by the third prince or fled from this area overnight. Although no one knew what method the third prince used to force these stragglers to become afraid, they saw such a result that no one could imagine.
Seeing this situation, many families began to prepare gifts and personnel were preparing to set off for Gama City.
Whether out of fear of its strength or affirmation of its status, they dare not not attend the inauguration ceremony of the Third His Highness. No matter any family refuses to participate in the celebration, they will inevitably be "respected" by the new lord. At that time, it is difficult to guarantee that their family will not follow the footsteps of the two major families. They do not believe that if they can silently destroy the Third His Highness of the Two Majors, they will have no choice but to do anything to them.
In this calm atmosphere that was not as calm as the post-war atmosphere, time slowly passed, and more and more family leaders came to Gama City. Many people took advantage of visits, visits and other names to move around the family in Gama City, which had some connection with the past, especially the Elf Yue Family and the Oba Family, which were still prosperous among the four major families, and more people came.
"Brother Yueran, I heard that you have a good relationship with Your Highness Jing Chen. For the sake of our classmates, are there any internal news to reveal to me. I will definitely not forget my brother's support." As he said that, a guy who looked older than Yueran vaguely stuffed Yueran a small bag. Yueran kept pinching the small bag without moving. When he got it, he clearly felt the texture of a space ring.
After a deep look at the person, Yue Ran really couldn't remember when he had such a classmate or junior. However, this was not important. Yue Ran smiled and said, "Although I have no internal news here, as far as I heard, this time His Highness Jing Chen seems to announce a big plan at the celebration, and this plan is closely related to your family in seventeen cities. I heard that Your Highness wants to decentralize power."
"What?!"
The person who met Yueran in a relationship was also a head of the family. He actually had nothing to do with Yueran. However, Yueran did have a classmate at the beginning, who was a descendant of a side branch in his family, so he came to find Yueran with the name of the other party. Unexpectedly, Yueran was still very concerned about the "old love" and actually let him in, and told him such "important" news.
At this moment, the face of the head of the family was gloomy and he couldn't believe his ears, but looking at Yue Ran's confident look, it didn't seem like he was joking with him. Then he asked in a low voice with no confidence, "Brother Yue Ran, what do you mean? I... I don't understand." After saying that, he looked at Yue Ran with a slightly innocent look on his face.
Seeing the person coming, Yue Ran couldn't help but curse in his heart, how could he be such an idiot who could become the leader of the clan, but he couldn't understand anything? The guy in front of him obviously wanted to know more, but he was embarrassed to ask directly. However, Yue Ran did not expose the person's thoughts. On that day, Jing Chen had already told Yue Ran about his thoughts, and he also guessed that his relationship with the elf Yue family could not be hidden. Of course, Jing Chen did not intend to hide it, and this kind of venting was naturally done by Jing Chen entrusting Yue Ran to help.
Yue Ran sighed with embarrassment, pretended to scan the surroundings, lowered her voice, and said in the man's ear, "Your Highness is wise and powerful. He wants each city to be governed by one family or several families. Your Highness is only responsible for issuing the most basic laws and regulations that all ruling families need to abide by, and the rest are arranged by each family themselves."
Hearing this, the visitor was startled and then frowned slightly. When he first heard what Yue Ran said, the visitor was overjoyed. "The family governed the city where he was." The head of the family, like him, could be said to do whatever he wanted. But obviously, His Highness Jing Chen would not let their families undermine him, so this law and the regulations that each family needs to abide by would not be too relaxed. Moreover, Yue Ran did not mention the matter of the defenders, and did not know who the troops in each city were led by.
The army has an absolute role no matter when it is at all times. If the army is also under the leadership of the family in the city, then they will truly become local emperors. If the army is firmly held in Jing Chen's hands, this power will be greatly reduced.
However, he didn't want to think too much about this matter. After all, being able to control the city he is in is enough to make every cell in his body cheer. As for the military matter, he has no intention of rebelling. If the army is under the control of his family, it may only add to the trouble at that time.
Moreover, at this moment, the head of the family remembered the light golden puppet that day when he came to send the invitation. Even though the puppet did not release the momentum in his body, the head of the family with good strength still felt trembling all over. With such terrifying strength and absolutely loyal to Jing Chen's puppet protection, what capital does his family have to challenge Jing Chen?
After thinking through this, he smiled flatteringly at Yueran and said, "Thank you, Brother Yueran, for your support. When you use me in the future, I will do my best." As he said that, he bowed to Yueran. After Yueran nodded like "sending off guests", the head of the family who had already received the "internal" news left the Yue family with brisk steps.
