Alien world

Chapter 1078 Chapter 309. New King
Annan lowered his head and picked up the "rule book".

The moment I touched it, the "rules" about it came into my mind.

Annan, who had been exposed to the "Apocalypse Forecast", was no stranger to this kind of information that appeared directly in his consciousness.

Its effect is similar to what Clo said: the holder makes the rules and designates a being to compete.

"ended."

He turned around and spoke to Vitalig and Maria and Gale whom he had called over.

Maria stared at the "rule book" for a long time, feeling the tormented soul in it: "This thing is ominous."

"Well, but it might be effective in dealing with some troubles." Annan put it into the magic ring.

The rule book is more useful than the apocalypse prediction. Annan doesn't like the apocalypse prediction very much, because he always feels that the future is predetermined once he touches it.

And who knows what side effects there will be if used too much? After all, it seems that many of the chess pieces in this set are called evil spirit chess, not angel chess or good guy chess.

But there is one embarrassing thing... After Clo lost, he lost everything, including the crowns and cloaks of the kings of Rak'ar...

"It's gone, so it's gone." Having died once, Vitalig was very open-minded.

"It's good that you think so. Give honor to the crown, not be proud of wearing it."

Annan spoke to comfort him, and Vitalig chewed on his words silently.

They walked out of the bedroom, and outside, in the cold wind, were officials who had rushed over standing.

The three legends stood at the front, followed by princes, nobles, ministers, parliamentarians, and then ordinary officials.

Annan thought it was a good idea. Otherwise, it would be a headache just to manage such a large piece of land and these people.

Maybe both the eldest sister and Olmedo will grow white hair.

Vitalig stood on the steps and said to them: "Kroyi is dead, and I will be your new king!"

Annan was about to slip aside, but was pulled back by Vitali and forced to accept the greetings of the parliamentarians and ministers.

Vitalig's succession ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow, the first day of the new year.

It was a good day, but time was tight and before we had time to breathe a sigh of relief, everyone got busy.

The New Capital is currently divided into two factions: The Kingdom and the Freeblade.

It was similar to when Clo was king, the two different factions suddenly went from being enemies to allies.

Annan couldn't take these people back, so he was willing to give them a chance to join the Free Blade. But they were not sure whether the new king would give them a chance - what if the new king liquidated them or drove them to the brink as soon as Annan left?
Even so, nearly half of the soldiers and two-thirds of the officers were willing to stay - because Annan said he did not tell Vitalig that they were the Free Blades.

Annan said this deliberately in order to avoid bringing in the bad apples... the black sheep... the fence-sitters... and in order to avoid bringing these nobles whom he looked down upon to the Liberty City.

Except for some special talents, such as Renato.

Clo did not care about the affairs, the Chairman of the Senate secretly resurrected Vitalig, and the military minister played an indispensable role in maintaining stability in the kingdom.

It was more than enough for him to assist Olmedo in Liberty City - Renato was also willing to start a new life in a rising floating city.

After eliminating those who were willing to stay in Free Blade, Annan handed over the military power to Vitalig.

He wasted no time in building closer relationships with the kingdom's three legends.

Although the legends betrayed the previous king, it was not their fault, and it must not be their fault. The kingship is not eternal, but the legends are - except for Agarwal. Only by winning over the legends can Vitalig implement various policies in the kingdom.

For example, what Annan cares most about is the halving of agricultural taxes.

As for the lords who oppressed the peasants... Ever since the Free Blade plowed the southern part of the kingdom and hanged the lords and nobles who acted arrogantly on the gallows, the remaining nobles have to hunch their shoulders when they go out.

As for whether things will recover after they leave...it depends on whether the new king will do what he says.

Vitalig also liquidated the nobles who participated in Clo's conspiracy, and the money squeezed out should be enough for the kingdom to develop for a period of time.

The kingdom's trading partners also changed, with the original largest trading partner shifting from the Principality of Keating to the Free City.

It was their fault for betting on the wrong thing. Besides, the supplies provided by Liberty City were better quality and cheaper, and there were no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference for special products like Fast Pants.

As the future king, Vitalig also gave Annan a theater and a commercial street. It seems that he did a lot of research during his days in Liberty City.

Liberty City was also busy. In addition to sending people back to the New Capital and Gem Bay, they also had to formulate various cooperation projects with the Kingdom. The officials were both happy and sad.

While distributing invitations, adjusting officials, and solving each other's problems, they also had to keep an eye on the movements of the rat people.

The McKeon clan will definitely not let it go after they inexplicably lost their spokesperson. And after the Stoon clan helped them steal the throne, they will definitely ask for compensation...

They planned to delay the situation as long as possible, and if that failed, they would give some sweet treats, and if those sweet treats didn't work, they would let Annan take over.

Even Annan is busy now: he is preparing gifts for the New Year again.

Compared to last year, I have to prepare a lot more New Year gifts this year, mainly because I met so many people this year. The Scarlet Princess, the Princess, Colette and others from the southern group, as well as the people I met in the Dimon Kingdom and the Recaner Kingdom from the northern group, and the friends who once knew each other but were forced to separate and finally reunited.

January 1003, 1 in the Saint Laurent calendar.

The new king seemed to have changed a lot due to everyone's hard work.

The streets of the outer city were no longer deserted. After the gangs and their gray gloves fled and died, some business order was restored on the streets.

Because of the tight time schedule, few people came after receiving the invitation.

Apart from the leaders of the reinforcements from Liberty City and the Kingdom of Dimon, and Princess Sales who was brought back by Annan, the only other people who came were envoys from the Empire.

The envoy was from the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was a guy Annan didn't recognize. He wore a pair of standard leather boots under his pure black wizard robe. His shoulders were raised, and he looked very burly, as if he would throw away his staff and take out his war hammer at any time.

Annan, the leader of the reinforcements, and the imperial envoy stood in the front, watching Princess Serles personally take the scepter and hand it over to Vitalig like an inheritance, then put the crown and cloak on him to complete the ceremony.

Vitalig, who officially became the 16th King of the Kingdom of Rekanel, publicly announced his philosophy of governing the country: to allow the people to live and work in peace, return to the old land, and wash away the shame.

The ceremony was followed by a grand banquet. The imperial envoy was not interested, but Annan met with him before leaving.

The envoy, who had a stern face, told Annan that the Imperial Military Department had given him an order. If Vitalig still had blood in him, he should be forgiven. If he was as cowardly as Clo, he should be killed.

The envoy was indeed not from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Annan did not doubt the truth of these words, even though he was only an epic poet.

After seeing the messenger off, Annan looked back at the noisy banquet and raised his glass to the new king Vitalig who was looking at him.

The war is over, Liberty City got what it wanted, and the strength it demonstrated made it impossible for all forces to ignore it easily.

Now, they can finally take a break for a while...
