Chapter 546: Chapter 546 Provoked Natives

"The ground war is almost over, and the recognition ceremony is coming up. Are you prepared?"

Upon hearing Qin Lan’s words, Fang Jie’s eyes widened, "Why is there a need for a meeting? Just distribute the commendations in written form; it’s much simpler that way. After all, the main point is to give them benefits, which is the most important."

"The formalities are still necessary to enhance solidarity."

Fang Jie curled his lip in disdain, "Enhance solidarity? When did humans ever have solidarity? It’s the same with the other races. Those who care will care, and those who don’t won’t, it’s utterly meaningless."

"Even so, if you do nothing, things will develop in a bad direction."

Fang Jie waved his hand dismissively, "I would like to do something, but it’s not possible. We’re currently marked by two empires, and our next steps must be to deal with both of them."

Qin Lan’s expression became serious, "Are you worried about assassination attempts from the two empires?"

Fang Jie nodded, "It’s not impossible. After all, I am different from them. They all have their Territories because they’re strong, or they inherit what was left by their predecessors after gaining strength."

Fang Jie had long understood this. Even the Royalty of small countries were roughly the same.

Generally, there are two situations: either the true experts hide and continue their Cultivation, putting someone with no Talent on the throne, or the experts themselves become the King. Either way, there are benefits.

But the most critical point is that power is always in the hands of the strong.

Moreover, the more powerful the country, the more severe this situation becomes.

The reason is simple: the stronger the power, the greater the disparity between levels, making it impossible for ordinary people to resist. At the Demigod level, ordinary armies can no longer overcome the gap with numbers.

And experts live long enough, naturally providing more stability than ordinary people.

For example, with the two empires, it’s uncertain whether their ancestors are still alive.

After all, at the Demigod level, barring accidents, lifespan is theoretically unlimited. There are even numerous resurrection methods; one can return to the world even after death.

Fang Jie did not know much about this level; he had only learned a bit during his last mission.

Because there were many Demigod Experts at that time, Fang Jie managed to hear some information from others. But as he was not at that level, what he knew was not very detailed, and even the truthfulness was uncertain.

"In that case, I understand. I will arrange the upcoming matters," Qin Lan nodded, not insisting on Fang Jie’s presence any longer.

Just a slight hint about the threats from the two empires was enough for the others to understand. If they couldn’t, they were either foolish or malicious, and such people’s value needed to be reassessed.

It wasn’t long before the Cabinet rushed to produce an announcement, informing everyone directly.

This announcement was essentially an awarding of honors. This time, many who participated in the battle had rewards. Not just titles, but proxy lord positions in some places as well.

Proxy lords are somewhat similar to regular Lords, except their positions are not hereditary, and they must be assessed periodically. Fail the assessment, and they could be replaced at any time.

However, the assessment was not particularly strict, so as long as one wasn’t entirely incompetent, they could maintain their position.

While it seemed non-hereditary, the benefits one could leave for descendants were significant.

Importantly, in the future, descendants wouldn’t fight over nobility titles and Territories at least that’s how it appeared. All this had been the focus of Qin Lan’s recent promotional efforts.

At this moment, the natives were stirred.

"My God, that kid, that kid actually became a proxy lord. Let me see, the Territory he’s managing is as large as several cities; he has really struck it rich."

"If I had joined the military back then, maybe I could have been more impressive than them. Too bad it seemed unreliable at the time."

Not all capable people enlisted in the military, many hid themselves away.

At this moment, they all regretted their decisions, seeing the benefits that had become evident. Missing this opportunity made it hard to catch up.

Suddenly, a wave of excitement spread as a person, leading a troop and riding a horse, was seen approaching at a leisurely pace.

Many people crowded around, especially young girls, who appeared bashful yet eager.

"Damn it, I will surpass him someday."

"Hmph, why should he get to show off like that? His swordsmanship was learned from my father." Envy and jealousy filled the air, but there was nothing to be done.

After all, that person is now a proxy lord, and they are nothing.

"It’s just a small island, for all you know, you’d think it was a large one."

"Exactly, but not many seem to have received large islands. Most large islands currently have no proxy lord; we still have a chance." Many people’s eyes lit up upon realizing this.

Taking down the Sea Alliance greatly expanded the area compared to Fang Jie’s original Territory.

Some were islands, and even if one didn’t get a large island, there were many medium and small ones. There were also many islets that couldn’t even measure up to small islands.

Perhaps, within the distribution of the Sea Alliance, they wouldn’t be considered a force capable of joining the Alliance, but to many people from the mainland, they were still islands, and quite large at that.

If well managed, they too could become relatively prosperous Territories.

Especially those from different worlds had many ideas about island development.

Even relatives of Lords from Earth were now thrilled. After all, this distribution of large islands included some of their own, and they had indeed reached the sky in a single step.

Even Jia Siwei from the South envied the situation.

The area he controlled still fell short compared to the large islands. Truly, had he known this, he wouldn’t have become a proxy lord so early; he regretted it deeply.

Because of this announcement, more people flocked to join the military or various Guilds.

No matter their status, those who made significant contributions in the war received rewards. And those who achieved enough merit would become proxy lords, all officially recognized by the Cabinet.
