Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1673 is even more tiring than fighting a war.
Previously, Jarvitt thought that Fisher was blinded by the little power he held and couldn't see the situation clearly, but that was not the case.

Fisher was undoubtedly a smart man, and Peter, who had previously been a time traveler, was no match for him.

He's not so blind as to miss this basic situation.

However, being able to see clearly and being able to let go are two different things.

It's like knowing that staying up late playing games or scrolling through your phone is bad for your health, but you still can't help it and won't go to sleep until two or three in the morning.

No matter how small the Kingdom of Smith may be, it is still a country, and as its king, he holds the power of life and death, able to take whatever he wants from his people on this land.

The allure of this power is far greater than that of a mobile phone or a game.

If it's so hard to put down a mobile phone or a game, how can a country easily relinquish its power?

Looking at the invitation in his hand, Fisher's expression was uncertain, and he struggled with the decision for a long time.

He knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty had already established its dominance and was situated on the periphery. The smaller surrounding countries could no longer develop. Like the female warrior tribe, negotiating terms and submitting as soon as possible was the wise choice.

But unlike the female warrior race, the Smith Kingdom actually has another breakthrough point.

Only a small portion of the Smith royal family knew about this; even earlier, Nalga, as the King's Hand, was unaware of it.

Deep within their Smith Kingdom lies a towering cliff. Climbing up the cliff reveals a vast expanse of black void on the other side!
That's right, a fragment of the world is approaching!
Similar things have happened before in the history of their Smith Kingdom.

Based on historical intelligence and the latest observations, the world's fragments will inevitably be pieced together within the next few years, if not longer.

At that time, a brand new world will be presented to him.

In other words, their Smith Kingdom can expand into new territories!
Under these circumstances, the Great Zhou Dynasty, which swallowed the Saint Laurent Empire and then incorporated the female warrior race, is definitely suffering from indigestion at this stage.

According to Fisher's prediction, the Great Zhou Dynasty is unlikely to make any major moves in the next few decades or even centuries; they will have to deal with its internal development.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity for the Smith Kingdom, which is about to gain a new world!

He planned to take a gamble; even if he failed in the end, he could simply surrender. From this perspective, the Great Zhou Dynasty became his fallback option.

With this in mind, Fisher didn't plan to attend the wedding next month; he was busy solving the cliff problem.

Before the world fragments are pieced together, they must first establish a foothold on the other side of the cliff to facilitate subsequent expansion.

However, even if you don't go in person, you must still send a gift, and you must also send a representative of sufficient importance.

Without submitting, he could not give the Great Zhou a reason to wage war against him.

With that in mind, Fisher quickly began making preparations.

Time passed quietly, and there were less than two weeks left until the wedding.

Unlike the Saint Laurent region, which was completely unaware of the situation, the rest of the Great Zhou was already enveloped in a festive atmosphere.

The streets and alleys of Black Moon City are already decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

If Zhou Xu hadn't intervened in time, those ministers would have even wanted to establish a special festival for this.

Zhou Xu said there was absolutely no need for that!

"Your Majesty, please raise your hand."

Zhou Xu raised his hand expressionlessly, and the maids on both sides immediately and efficiently put the wedding dress, which had at least five or six layers inside and out, on him.

This situation has been going on for almost half a month now, and his wedding dress has been altered countless times. The worst part is that he didn't ask for the alterations; it was the designer and tailor who designed the wedding dress who suddenly had a burst of inspiration and took the initiative to make changes, which Zhou Xu couldn't stop even when he called on them.

It would have been fine if they had altered it themselves, but what was most annoying was that after the alteration, he still had to try it on. Layer upon layer, putting it on and taking it off, took at least half an hour.

After going through so many ups and downs, it's no wonder Zhou Xu looks utterly hopeless.

However, during this process, Zhou Xu also unexpectedly discovered that, despite his minimal involvement, the clothing industry in their Great Zhou was developing quite well.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he saw that his entire outfit, while ensuring his majesty as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was also extremely luxurious. The black cloak was embroidered with exquisite patterns by stitching gold thread.

Zhou Xude admitted that the dress was very well made, but he would definitely not wear it again after the wedding.

The black cloak with its hem reaching the ground seemed cumbersome to him and didn't fit his pragmatic dressing habits.

The remaining two weeks passed quietly, and on the wedding day, after a period of preparation, the atmosphere in Black Moon City was extremely enthusiastic.

Many people even traveled from other surrounding cities just to join in the fun.

It can only be said that the people of Da Zhou were too supportive, which made Zhou Xu, who was actually not very concerned about the matter, feel a bit of pressure.

The entire central avenue leading directly to the palace was cleared, and countless people stood on both sides of the street, eagerly awaiting its arrival.

Soon, cheers erupted from the crowd as a group of Pegasus knights flew in to clear the way. Jarvit's carriage was carried directly by the Pegasus knights and flew into the city from the air. The entire spectacle was truly magnificent.

At the same time, in the square in front of the main hall of the imperial palace, Zhou Xu, wearing a jade crown and a magnificent robe, stood quietly, surrounded by civil and military officials, displaying his majesty.

The moment the carriage entered the palace, the master of ceremonies standing to the side shouted loudly…

"Welcome—the—Emperor—and—Empress—"

In an instant, music and dance filled the air, and dazzling fireworks burst in the sky, officially marking the start of the wedding.

At this moment, the entire palace, and even the entire Black Moon City, was engulfed in a sea of ​​celebration.

Countless people of the Great Zhou Dynasty looked up at the magnificent sea of ​​fireworks they had never seen before; this scene was enough for them to remember for a lifetime.

This was accidentally developed by the gunpowder department during the previous gunpowder research and development process.

In this era, gunpowder was a strategic resource, so using it to set off fireworks was quite a luxury.

Such a fireworks display is unlikely to happen again anytime soon.

During this period, the main hall of the court assembly was directly used as a banquet hall, with fine wines and delicacies served in turn.

At this point, Zhou Xu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, no one would dare ask him to toast, let alone force him to drink.

Even Xie Liancheng, who was originally eager to try, was pinned to his seat by a single look from him.

As the banquet progressed, inside the main hall, Jie Liancheng and his fellow military officers got so drunk they were about to start acting out. Zhou Xu and Yarvit, on the other hand, didn't finish their meal and made a quick getaway.

The moment they stepped into the palace and closed the door, the two, now officially husband and wife, simultaneously removed their cumbersome wedding attire, collapsed onto the bed beside them, and exclaimed in unison…

"call--"

"This is even more tiring than fighting a war!"
