Li's path

Chapter 1008 New Year's New Weather

On January 1205, 1 in the Seven Lunar Calendar, the first day of the New Year, a series of heavy bombs detonated the entire West Semulia.

First, it was the focus of long-standing disputes between Erebonia and Calvard. Closbell, who had declared independence by virtue of abnormal power years ago, made another big news——Crossbell announced and merged into the empire.

Immediately afterwards, the Erebonian Empire formally accepted Closbell's attachment, classified it as the fifth province of the empire, and granted the young hero Lien Schwarzer, who contributed the most in the civil war, as his territory.

Li En, who officially turned 18 this year, was promoted to marquis at the same time, not a marquis in the traditional sense, but a lifelong marquis only for individuals.

Yes, with the power of the great victory in the civil war, Kent III, who had endured for many years, finally began to formally exert his strength and played the first card of comprehensive reform.

Unexpectedly, the hatred that Li En originally planned to carry on his own was taken over by his biological father. The proposal of this epoch-making lifelong aristocratic proposal became Osborn, and Li En became the first experimental subject or "Sacrifice".

In the eyes of everyone, everyone, regardless of nobles or commoners, the most important thing about a noble title is hereditary succession, leaving a "golden rice bowl" for the family and future generations. Although the nobles who cannot be hereditary are glorious, they are also very sad—— ——The "Grey Knight" who worked so hard to get such a result is the greatest tragedy.

The world misunderstood, but Li En didn't care. After returning to the imperial capital to accept the royal title, he quickly returned to Crossbell, and he didn't even attend the celebration banquet at the end of the civil war—because the Republic had issued a formal diplomatic document. Bell protested the unilateral breach of the contract, and said that if it persisted, the Republic would resort to force.

At the same time as the formal diplomatic documents were delivered, there was also intelligence that the Republic had gathered heavy troops in Altai City.

On January 1204, 1 in the Seven Lunar Calendar, the Republic sent troops, and the posture was exactly the same as the joint military operation two months ago.

The process and result were surprisingly similar. Before the coalition vanguard could see the wall of the Tanggula Gate, they were blocked by a silver-gray knight statue.

"Warning, the front is the territory of the Erebonian Empire 'Crossbell State', please leave immediately, otherwise you will be attacked by our army."

According to international practice, Li En prepared to issue three warnings, but the second time he launched an attack before exporting to the Republic Army.

Ten minutes later, the ground troops of the Republic were reduced to chariots, and the airship troops were blown out of their propellers, completely losing their combat effectiveness. The gray knight seemed unscathed.

"Warning—well, the official language is too troublesome, so I'll just say it straight."

"Listen to me, I was the one who dismantled the magical machine that you regard as a demon. This time it was just a small punishment. Next time you come back, be prepared to wipe out the entire army!"

Being beaten up like this by a single player, what else can the Republic Army do?The only option is to retreat.

With the experience of dealing with the "Purple Magic Machine", the Republic did not dare to launch a big attack this time, at least not until it found out about Li En's details. Crossbell, who was supposed to usher in a big battle, showed a strange calm.

The battle on the table has stopped, and the secret battle under the table has just begun.

Wuxiang Loulan, the chief of the "Smith Agency" who had worked with Li En, was placed high hopes by the military, hoping that she could find a solution to "Grey Knight".

However, in the entire Republic, Li En is most wary of Wuxiang. Before the "Smith Agency" officially launched its operations, Li En used Claire and her capable generals as an excuse to establish the Crossbell branch of the "Railway Gendarmerie". Please come here.

Li En has always believed that Claire is Wuxiang's good opponent, and Wuxiang can't take advantage of people and harmony under the circumstances of the right time and place.The facts are indeed as Li En thought, Wuxiang, who is seriously short of resources, is firmly suppressed by Claire.

As for Li En's family, they are all in the imperial capital at the moment, and under the noses of Yukent III and Osborne, if something could happen, there would be no safe place for the empire.

Along with Claire are Li En's little friends from the Special Class VII of the Thortz Military Academy. They were invited by Li En to come for an internship, and by the way, they also helped Li En grasp various developments in the state.After all, it is necessary to be defensive, and Li En doesn't want to be taken for a fool.

Macchias and Jusses went to the government.

Laura and Fay go to the Guard.

Miriam continued to form a team with Claire, and also brought the "Black Rabbit" Altina newly sent by Rector.

Elliott is the busiest, helping out at "Orchid Tower" during the day and part-time violinist at "Rainbow Troupe" at night.

Gaustorian issued a pass, and he wanted to take a good look around this most prosperous city in West Semuria.

Emma and Alyssa were arranged by Li En to join the IBC to be responsible for the monitoring work, Alyssa was the auditor, and Emma was Alyssa's secretary.

In the short exchange after the marquis ceremony, Eukent III and Osborne adopted Li En's suggestion to nationalize the IBC, and for this reason, a lot of manpower and material resources were drawn from the financial department, intelligence department, and RF Group. An unprecedented team stationed in IBC to carry out asset inventory and equity transfer.

Li En went to the prison specifically for this matter, and had several in-depth discussions with Dita. In the end, Dita also agreed to exchange assets for Closbell's equality, freedom, long-term peace and stability.

With Dita's acquiescence and the cooperation of Lisha's previously obtained information, the handover work went quite smoothly, and the small actions of the IBC's top management who thought they had a plan were completely reduced to a joke.

Under Li En's secret instructions, Emma and Alyssa took down the information of these people with evil intentions one by one, and waited until the handover period passed before they came to settle the matter. tower.

Also awaiting reckoning are the moths and moths of the Crossbell administration.Due to the 70-year struggle between the two countries, the composition of Closbell's public officials is far more complicated than that of any other country. Various factions are intricate, and each faction has backers and countless agents.

The muddier the water, the easier it is to fish, so the corruption in Crossbell is more serious and more stubborn than anywhere in Semlia.Although Dita has rectified a group after he came to power, and another group after the "Jianguo", there are still quite a few moths that are hidden deep or have not been eradicated in time due to the influence--Li En will not let any of these people go. Pass.

Li En doesn't need to worry about the issue of social influence. The sky above Closbell's head has changed, and there is no influence. Besides, the style of the empire has always been steel and fire. Known for his reputation, he cracked down on corrupt officials with far less resistance than anyone else.Moreover, Li En is not the kind of person who likes to abide by the rules. As long as you think there is something wrong with you, even if there is no evidence, I will arrest you first. Whoever makes me the lord here is the final decision.

In addition, Li En's path is also wilder than Dita's, information from the Empire, information from Crossbell, information from the association, information stolen by Lisha, information bought underground, and the abilities of Chia and Tio , as long as you do it, you are not afraid of not being able to find it.

Some people may say that as long as there is politics, such things as corruption and corruption are inevitable, and killings will never be clean, but Li En firmly believes that if this group is cleared, the administration of Closbell will be clear for a long time. The prestige will also be more prominent, and no one will be able to shake his rule by then.

With so many things intertwined and all kinds of things piled up, Li En almost became a workaholic like Kolotia, so busy that he couldn't tell the difference between day and night.

By the time everything settles down, a full month has passed.

Just when Li En was about to go on vacation and be lazy, Levi appeared in front of him and brought him two invitations.

The first one is an invitation from "Leader", inviting Li En to go to the Origin Land again.

The second is Lianna's letter of war. The day Li En returns from the origin is the time for the two to fight.

PS: In fact, it is quite interesting to write this chapter, and it can write the content of a volume, but this book has written more than 260 million words, so I won’t drag it any longer, so as not to be slapped in the face by Flash 3, although The traitor has already confirmed through certain channels that he will be slapped in the face.
