Then let them offer their loyalty!

Many senior vice-speakers, or even members of the Supreme Council, would love to have this position but cannot obtain it.

Therefore, even though they had received the "rumors" deliberately leaked by the state legislature early on, most of the higher-ups still didn't quite believe them...

.....

At the same time, Qiu Tu had no time to care what the leaders of the 16 cities thought.

As the saying goes: power is only accountable to the source of power.

The decision on Qiu Tu's position rests with six true giants of the shelter, including Elder Tang and Elder Rao.

Let alone the high-ranking officials in these ordinary cities, even Huang Shangzong only has the right to make suggestions.

Therefore, as long as Qiu Tu is certain that those bigwigs truly believe in him and want to give him a chance, that's enough.

Once he takes office as the new Speaker of the State Legislative Assembly, with the greater good in his hands, he can gradually consolidate his power.

His immediate priority is to quickly consolidate the territories of the two evil gods, "Weibei" and "Butterfly".

That woman, Zhao Ji, isn't one to wait for others.

If you're slow, she really won't wait for you.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu led several dark soldiers back to the "Eastern City Area" after Zhu Huoyan brought the "captain" back.

Larilu has a solid foundation, after all.

Moreover, being misled and brainwashed does not affect her strength and ability.

Therefore, it wasn't long before the regional passage between the "Trade Market Area" and the "East City Area" was completed.

This reduced the travel time between two regions, which are hundreds of kilometers apart, from more than ten hours to just one minute.

It greatly shortened the distance between the two cities.

Therefore, when Qiu Tu went to the "Trade Market Area" with La Riluo, he also asked La Riluo about the conditions for establishing the "Regional Passage".

According to Larilu, there are four conditions required to establish a "regional passage".

1. The builder must be the lord of one of the two zones.

2. During its construction, it was not rejected by the ruler of another region.

3. Requires a large amount of "Boundless Divine Crystals".

4. Most importantly, understand how to establish regional channels.

All four conditions are indispensable. Therefore, it can be said that establishing a "regional corridor" is not as simple as it seems.

The only fortunate thing is that... Wei Bei and Butterfly's "Boundless Divine Crystal" was shattered by Zhao Ji in the "Trade Market Area".

So, Larilu set up a magic circle and collected them all.

Although its value and power are greatly reduced due to its incompleteness, it is still more than enough to create "regional portals"...

And so, following Lariluo, they arrived at the "Trade Market Area," where Qiu Tu and Lariluo divided the area among themselves.

According to Lariro, she met Zehime when she came to the "Trade Market Area".

Zhao Ji is about to conquer the largest region in "Weibei", the "Lu'an Region". That region has a total of 108 leyline nodes, making it a relatively large area.

The remaining four areas are the Desert Area, the Winter Hill Area, the Azure Water Area, and the Sparrow Dance Area.

Larilu chose the "Sparrow Dance Area," leaving the remaining three areas to Qiu Tu and his two dark soldiers.

After delivering Larilu to the "Sparrow Dance Area," Qiu Tu led two other dark soldiers back to the "Trade Market Area," and then picked up Cuiyinglong Yiyi from the area's passageway.

To find the ley line nodes, one must rely on the mental power scanning of a fourth-order Cataclysmic Holy Spirit.

The last time the "captain" was still at level three, it was Qiu Tu who helped him find the ley line node.

"Scarface" is also a peak Tier 3 Cataclysmic Being, perhaps aided by Tier 4 Beings.

That's why Qiu Tu brought Yi Yi over.

Qiu Tu took Yi Yi, "Captain" and "Scarface" to the Winter Hill area and the Azure Water area respectively. After confirming that these two areas had not yet been invaded by the evil god, Qiu Tu put the three down and let them begin refining the areas.

As for himself, he went to the desert region to begin refining his third region.

Throughout the entire refining process, Qiu Tu remained extremely vigilant, constantly waiting for the two dark soldiers to encounter danger and call for his help.

However... Zhao Ji, who may have killed three fifth-tier evil gods, has completely established her prestige in the peripheral areas, so no one dares to even think about attacking these areas.

This made the entire refining process almost completely smooth..

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

A lot happened in these 7 days.

With the suppression of Muye gone, Huang Shangzong officially began to wage war against the 13 cities in the disaster zone near Dongye Prefecture.

Ye Mingfeng was the vanguard general, Dai Yukang was in charge of intelligence, Li Tingdong supported logistics, and Liu Xiongyuan was responsible for stabilizing the 16 cities in the rear.

The soldiers of Dongye Prefecture, after years of training, are still much stronger than the anti-government coalition.

Furthermore, with the slaying of three fifth-tier evil gods, the entire border region of the cataclysmic zone was gripped by fear. Therefore, Dongye Prefecture conquered six cities with almost no effort.

Judging from the progress, in about 10 more days, we should be able to take over all 13 cities.

At that time, preparations for the establishment of New South Wales can begin.

After capturing each city, Liu Xiongyuan would send a group of experienced guards to maintain order and arrest stragglers.

With the assistance of the military, the transition in the six cities was relatively smooth.

And just as everything was changing rapidly.

Real world - East City. State Capitol Building.

Ellie, Yan Yan, and Xue'er were summoned to Huang Shangzong's office.

Since it wasn't the first time they had been to Huang Shangzong's office, they were already familiar with the furnishings of Huang Shangzong's office.

Therefore, the three best friends keenly noticed the changes.

Xue'er curiously touched Huang Shangzong's brand-new steel coffee table, steel table, and steel chair.

Then he looked up and asked curiously, "Dad, have all the desks and chairs in your office been recast?"

"The battle hasn't been going so well these past few days, so why are you so angry?"

Upon hearing Xue'er's words, Secretary Han, who had led the three best friends in, looked at her strangely.

In recent days, with the smooth progress of the battle, Huang Shangzong's temper has visibly worsened.

In the past, even when Huang Shangzong was furious, he knew to hold back, and at most he would just smash the wooden tables and chairs.

In the past two days, however, he has no intention of holding back and only wants to vent his anger. So... the stainless steel table and chairs that Secretary Han specially commissioned have been broken countless times.

Therefore, the steel furnace next to the parliament building was already running at full capacity, just to melt and recast Hwang Sang-jong's tables and chairs.

Thinking this, Secretary Han didn't dare to explain, and didn't even dare to look at Huang Shangzong. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Speaker, if there's nothing else, I'll go down first."

Upon hearing this, Huang Shangzong's face darkened, and he grunted in agreement.

Having received Huang Shangzong's approval, Secretary Han quickly walked out of the office.

After Secretary Han left, Huang Shangzong's sharp eyes swept over the three girls in front of him.

Perhaps it's because he currently controls the army. Wherever the army goes, thousands or even tens of thousands of lives are at stake. Therefore, he is also filled with a murderous aura.

This caused the three girls, including his daughter Xue'er, to lower their heads and not dare to say anything after asking a question.

At this moment, Huang Shangzong slowly spoke, "I'm being transferred."

The three girls were stunned when they heard Huang Shangzong's words.

Especially Xue'er. She looked at Huang Shangzong in disbelief and said, "Dad, you're being transferred?"

“But you just became the speaker, didn’t you? And… we’re still waging war against the disaster zone.”

"How can you change generals on the eve of war?"

At this point, Xue'er seemed to have thought of something, and then said with a look of sudden realization, "Oh! I know! Is it because someone saw that your battles were going well, so they want to take credit for your success?!"

Seeing Xue'er talking about these things so frankly, Ellie quickly gestured to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan knowingly reached out and grabbed Xue'er to stop her from interrupting, while Ellie respectfully asked, "Speaker, where are you being transferred to?"

If Huang Shangzong really wanted to criticize the shelter, he could have talked to his daughter alone.

But since he called the three girls together, it was obviously to discuss business.

Seeing that Ellie and Yan Yan were controlling Xue'er and making her talk nonsense, Huang Shangzong nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Then he said, “No one is taking my place or reaping my rewards. Because… I’m going to New South Wales to serve as the Speaker of the State Legislative Assembly.”

Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, the three best friends, including Xue'er who had just been indignant and standing up for her father, were all a little stunned.

A question mark slowly appeared above the heads of the three of them.

Where to go? New South Wales?

The three girls were genuinely confused by the adjustment, so Ellie asked with a puzzled look, "New State? Speaker, you're doing so well in East Asia, why would you want to take up a post in New State?"

At this point, Ellie was even more puzzled.

She recalled Huang Shangzong's recent thunderous military operations and overwhelming offensive, and hesitated before saying...

"So... Speaker, you're building your own territory?"

Huang Shangzong clearly had no desire to explain.

The reason he's been so irritable lately is because of the conversation he had with Mr. Tang some time ago.

That conversation nearly changed the entire landscape of the Eighth Shelter's perimeter and altered the fate of many people.

Ultimately... it all comes down to Qiu Tu.

It was his unconventional approach and sudden rise to prominence that triggered a series of chain reactions.

Thinking this through, Huang Shangzong didn't continue explaining the matter, but instead talked about the purpose of calling his three best friends to his office.

He said, "I've only told a few of you about my transfer. Keep it a secret."

"Next, I have something even more important to tell you."

At this point, Huang Shangzong leaned back in his steel chair, his large fingers tapping heavily on the armrests.

With his tapping, the chair made a crisp "bang bang bang" sound.

"In 20 days, the inspection team from the Sixth Shelter will come to Dongye Prefecture for inspection."

"The core members of the inspection team are Princess Xi of the Sixth Sanctuary and Cabinet Minister Kou Yu."

At this point, Huang Shangzong's majestic gaze fell on Ellie, and he said, "Ellie, your parents are from the Sixth Sanctuary. Princess Xi knows you, so she specifically asked you to accompany them."

Ellie paused for a moment, about to say something.

However, Huang Shangzong's gaze had already shifted from her to Xue'er and Yan Yan. "However... Princess Xi is an important guest after all, and the shelter is worried that they might neglect her if only Ellie is with her."

"Therefore, it has been decided that the three of you will go together to accompany Princess Xi."

"This is a very important political task. There is no room for any mistakes."

"Therefore, you must prepare in advance. I will also assign three offices of the Attendant's Office to you to help you with planning and arrangements."

Huang Shangzong paused for a moment, then said, "What you need to do is to memorize the local customs, specialties, establishment time, and the heads of the three major institutions in each city of Dongye Prefecture in the next few days."

"Furthermore, the New Territories are of paramount importance. You should definitely visit the 'Boundless Oceans of the Heart - New Territories Area' in the next couple of days."

"Let's learn about the situation in the 'New Territories' area."

"This is the main purpose of Princess Xi's visit this time."

Seeing Huang Shangzong's seriousness, the three best friends exchanged glances and then quickly agreed.

"Yes, Speaker." "Yes, Speaker." "Yes, Father."
