The fighting on the battlefield was very intense. The Dark Night Lord's betrayal was not noticed by everyone, and he continued to kill.

The battle ended quickly.

With Leo's death, the morale and momentum of both sides are no longer the same.

The battle ended when Egelina shouted the slogan of persuading surrender, saying that only the main culprit should be punished and the accomplices should not be questioned.

The warlocks under Leo looked at each other and chose to surrender immediately.

They knew this was their last chance.

If he doesn't surrender, Leo's fate will be to lie on the ground with a headless body.

As the astrologers surrendered one after another, Chris's space was compressed a lot.

Chris originally hoped that Egilina and Leo would both suffer heavy losses in the fight, but he didn't expect that one of the two tigers would die and the other would be only slightly injured.

He had no choice but to replicate Roland's beheading.

Fortunately, the Dragon Swordsman will not rebel like that damn Dark Lord.

As long as the dragon people attack, everything will be...

Just as Chris was fantasizing about killing or capturing Egilina alive and turning the tables, his eyes widened.

Egelina was there, but she could not be killed.

Her entire body was covered in a strange shield.

The shield's coverage is so wide and its effectiveness is so good that it is unprecedented.

What's even more terrible is that after Egilina stands still, she will directly enter a state of physical damage immunity. In order to break the physical immunity, you must use magic bombardment or great force to fly bricks.

Egilina can hold out much longer than Chris.

Chris did not sit there and wait for death. He and another astrologer quickly walked westward, preparing to break out.

Unfortunately, he still thought too much.

There are only two roads leading to the outer hall gate. One is guarded by a sixth-level strongman, and the other is also guarded by a sixth-level strongman.

And he only has a pair of old cold legs.

In terms of frontal combat strength, Chris is not inferior to Leo, but his legs are not very good, which makes him unable to chase people or escape flexibly.

His legs were finally blown off by magic about ten meters away from the entrance of the hall, and he completely lost the chance of turning the situation around.

He crawled out with difficulty, his whole body covered in blood, like a peeled bloody walnut.

Just when the walnut was about to slip away, a holy light hammer flew from the sky and fell heavily.

"Duang!"

With a crisp sound, Chris, the third seat of the Stargazing Society, died.

Volume 235: The City of Freedom: Chapter : Reckoning

The two old guys, Leo and Chris, were collecting gold coins so quickly that the battle was over while several astrologers were still fighting desperately.

Since there is only one candidate left, the so-called voting is meaningless.

Seeing the bodies of Leo and Chris, the astrologers who were originally full of fighting spirit became wilted.

On the contrary, the dragon swordsman resisted stubbornly until the last moment.

After Egilina announced that they would be rewarded for their achievements by defeating the dragon swordsman, she and Roland only had to watch from the sidelines.

The overall combat capability of the astrologers is extremely strong, and now they are eager to make achievements and are working extremely hard. Naturally, the mere dragon swordsman is no match for them.

If Roland hadn't needed a living person, he would have been chopped to pieces long ago.

The battle is over.

Egilina was responsible for calming down the other astrologers and restoring order, while Roland went to the other side to interrogate the unfortunate dragon swordsman.

The appeasement work went very smoothly.

Under the principle that Egilina only pursued the guilt of Leo and Chris and let the dead bear the infamy, all those who participated in the riot in the Star Palace were identified as blind followers who were coerced.

Since the main culprit has been eliminated and the others have not caused any substantial harm, they naturally do not have to bear any responsibility.

Although they were exonerated, the faction of Leo and Chris who actively participated in the riots still caused critical damage to the astrologers.

They worked hard for a long time, which according to the new chief was just scraping.

Not very harmful, but very insulting.

Although they were unhappy, they had no choice but to accept it.

After all, it was just a minor insult, much better than death.

Although they do not seek to find out the guilt, these people also know that it will be difficult for them to be reused in the future.

The day after the turmoil, a lengthy announcement was released.

This announcement puts the matter to rest.

The two conspirators, Leo and Chris, infiltrated the Astronomical Society, attempting to turn it from a mass academic organization into their own private office.

In order to achieve their ulterior motives, they raised private soldiers, colluded with foreign forces, and even colluded with local lords of the Holy Essen Empire, hoping to completely deprive the Stargazing Society of its independence.

These two were extremely evil and have been killed by the new chief and all the astrologers.

......

At the end of the announcement, the legal basis for Egelina's succession was confirmed.

Recommended by the former Chief Will, and passed unanimously at the second meeting of the Star Conference.

The question is what everyone wants.

For ordinary members of the stargazing club, it is not important whether they are popular or not, and it is not that important whether the stargazing club should maintain its independence.

What they need is to stop making trouble.

Egilina really didn't make too much trouble.

Except for her, who jumped twelve places in a row to become the first place, and Roland, who jumped twelve places in a row to become the second place, there were not many changes in the seats of other people.

Xinghuan made the right choice at the critical moment and was promoted to the third seat. Other astrologers took turns to fill the vacancies.

For those astrologers who participated in the turmoil, not being liquidated was already a huge gain, and now being able to be promoted to a higher position was even more unexpected.

Apart from Leo and Chris, only the unlucky ninth seat [Doom] died because he was stabbed in the vitals by the Dark Lord's sword during the battle and failed to be rescued.

Doom is Leo's diehard fan, and has the most stubborn attitude of all the astromancers.

No one dared to say, and no one was willing to say, whether he died on the battlefield or on the rescue platform.

Since Miss Egelina said he died of infection, it must be so.

His family was treated with kindness and although they were sad they dared not speak out.

The rebellion in the Star Palace came to an end.

Egilina stayed in the Star Palace temporarily to deal with the aftermath. With the assistance of Xinghuan and others, and with Leo and Chris already dead, there was nothing to worry about.

Roland and Sofia return to Gracia.

Thinking of the time he spent with old man Stevenson, Roland couldn't help but sigh.

The Stargazing Hall became an ownerless artifact. Roland was unable to take it. He could only pray that no one else could get it until he reached the peak of the sixth level.

With the unlocking of Libra, his strength has been greatly improved. After arranging other matters, he can consider breaking through to the sixth level.

After many things happened, Roland realized more and more clearly that the demigod breakthrough route was a pure trap.

He can only and must take the heroic evolution route.

Even though all information about the heroic evolution path had been blocked, leaving almost no trace, how could anything that had existed be completely blocked?

At least Roland knew there was a heroic option, which was the first step to breaking through the fog.

After Roland left, the remaining astrologers gradually discovered that Egilina seemed a little different from before.

When facing other astrologers, she no longer often showed a sincere smile, but her face was as pale as water, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy, angry, sad or cheerful.

She was also quite cruel in her treatment of Leo and the remaining members of Chris' gang.

Those who failed to explain the problems and draw a clear line in time were liquidated.

The charge was not participating in a rebellion to seize power, but being disloyal and dishonest to the Stargazing Society, and concealing the facts to resist scrutiny.

Egelina then carried out bold reforms, promoting young people of clean backgrounds from among the astrologers to supplement the Star Council, while demoting astrologers whose abilities and virtues were not suitable.

Correspondingly, she also broke the tradition of the lifelong tenure of astrologers and introduced a promotion and demotion system with assessments every three years.

The difference in power enjoyed by astrologers and stargazers is huge, almost like heaven and earth.

No matter how indifferent to fame and fortune one is, no one wants to be demoted. Not only is it embarrassing, but the actual loss of benefits is huge.

Faced with this drastic reform, some people raised objections.

The opponents’ reason is simple: the ancestral laws cannot be changed.

Egelina quickly responded that she was doing this to uphold the laws of her ancestors.

The Astronomical Society had a system of promotion and demotion before Stevenson took over. Stevenson made huge concessions in order to consolidate his power, which led to the lifetime system.

She silently said sorry to the teacher in her heart, then criticized the tenure system harshly, and insisted that it was the tenure system that gave rise to the two interest groups of Leo and Chris.

What else can others do when she says this? They can only accept it.

As a disciple, he was able to directly overturn and trample upon the policies set by his teacher, which shows how determined he was.

Because Egelina rose to power by stepping on the blood of her opponents, her power is very stable and she does not need to compromise with her collaborators.

Star Ring, the only company qualified to share a piece of the pie, publicly announced its full support for Egilina's decision, further dispelling the fantasies of others.

As for the new deputy chairman Roland, there is no need to mention him. He supports whatever Egilina says.

The top three seats were so united, what else could the other seats from Wumian onwards say? The only voice of opposition was slapped down, and Egilina's reforms were carried out in a big way.

After consolidating her power, Egelina re-organized her teacher's funeral.

The grand funeral was comparable to the burial of an imperial emperor.

The three major empires, the three major religious organizations, and the major kingdoms all sent representatives to participate.

Closely related countries and organizations even sent their heads of state to attend the funeral.

Roland and Lily were among the heads of state who attended the funeral.

Funerals are never held for the dead but for the living, and this time is no exception.

Representatives of many countries took the opportunity to meet and reach a series of agreements, while some countries failed to reach an agreement and even listed the other party as their mortal enemy.

At the funeral, Egelina read out a eulogy she had written herself and announced several things in front of everyone.

The first thing was a thorough reckoning with Leo and Chris.

This was originally an internal affair of the Stargazing Society and should not have been made public, but Egelina hated these two people so much that she did it anyway.

She announced their crimes in public, changed their code names from Good Man and Honest Man to Silver Jackal and Poison Wolf, and exiled their families to the northernmost territory owned by the Stargazing Society.

It is located in the polar region, covered with violent ice and snow all year round, and surrounded by various brutal monsters.

Few of those exiled here could survive the first winter, and the luckiest ones could not live more than three to five years.

Even the garrison soldiers here are mechanical puppets and granite puppets.

On the surface, this punishment seemed to be exile, but in reality it was the extermination of the entire family, and it was a soft-knife murder.

Such a ruthless decision also made others re-recognize Egilina.

The second thing is to move the Stargazing Society’s headquarters to the Kingdom of Gracia.

If the previous decision was only to liquidate internal sinners and had nothing to do with other organizations, this decision is completely different.

This is tantamount to open support for the Kingdom of Gracia.

The representative of the Holy Essen Empire, where the Stargazing Society's headquarters was originally located, couldn't help but question it in public.

"Respected Chief Egilina, does this mean that you and the Stargazing Society will abandon your support for the Holy Esen Empire and support the Kingdom of Gracia instead?"

Facing this aggressive question, Egilina was well prepared and responded with a smile: "Your country has always had a deep cooperative relationship with the Astronomical Society, and the previous chief was the first-class duke of your country. This relationship will certainly not be broken."
