Chapter 921: Chapter 755: Already Arrived

The situation in Fahl City actually doesn’t require further worry.

With Zuo Fang and the Duke of Silver present, even if Fahl City can’t be conquered for the time being, no major chaos would occur, so Xu Shuo felt rather assured.

He wanted to go over and take a look.

Simply because he had nothing else to do.

This time, he wasn’t sneaky about it; instead, he informed the bishops staying behind in the Royal Capital and then formally left the city in the stance of the Holy See of Light.

The grand procession of the Holy Court slowly marched out of the Royal Capital.

And the young head of Wald XVIII still hung over the city gate behind.

However, it seemed no one cared anymore.

The Papal Throne traveled unimpeded to the battlefield of Fahl City, encountering no threats on the way; even when occasionally meeting nobles fleeing from other city-states, they passed each other peacefully.

Nothing happened, leaving the nobles a bit bewildered.

The Eastern Continent was on the verge of falling, so many dignitaries planned to flee to other places overnight, then unite the various military districts to divide the Imperial Forces.

Many people knew that the Varo Royal Family was likely completely collapsed.

Regardless, this empire would change its name.

…

Princess Teresa stayed in the Holy Seat to serve.

Initially, she was very nervous, worried that the Pope of Light might take the opportunity to do something excessive to her using his status.

But in the end, she regretfully realized she had overthought it.

And when she arrived at Fahl City.

She regretfully found that the battle was already over.

This night was extremely chaotic.

But the battle of Fahl City went smoothly.

When the hundreds of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers encountered the brave and fierce Silver Shield Legion, they disbanded into a chaotic mess.

At this time, Zuo Fang and the Duke of Silver took the opportunity to sneak in, and with attacks from both inside and outside, the City-State Governing Council was controlled before they had time to react.

Duke Russo tried to resist.

The Duke of Silver offered him a fair duel.

Then, the winner was decided within one move, a speed so fast it left the Governing Council in despair, and Duke Brown, who had just escaped to Fahl City, felt even more hopeless.

Perhaps after the military districts from other parts of the continent gathered, there might still be a chance to turn things around.

But no matter what, for the nobles and dignitaries of the major city-states surrounding the Royal Capital, there was no chance of overturning the situation here.

Duke Russo swore to die loyal to the Varo Royal Family.

So he died.

As expected, Duke Brown chose to surrender, and to show sincerity, he was even willing to help the Holy Court persuade the governors of other city-states.

At the break of dawn.

The flames of war in Fahl City finally began to subside.

The first ray of sunlight shone on the devastated land.

There was no holy radiance of the God of Light here, so everyone saw with the dawn light the blood-soaked ruins and heard the mourning cries of wild geese in the sky.

War is always cruel.

“However, it seems like things aren’t over yet; there are still quite a number of supporters of the Varo Empire, so are you planning to be crowned today?”

Zuo Fang stood on the city wall, looking at the scene in the distance and asking the person beside him.

Xu Shuo casually replied, “I’ll be crowned when we return.”

Zuo Fang was stunned, “Damn, that fast?”

He had just been casually saying it.

After all, there are a lot of preparations needed for a coronation.

At the very least, this matter should be announced to the world first, then edicts should be sent to those nobles and dignitaries, whether they come or not, and then a date for the coronation should be set.

Followed by…

Just thinking about it gave Zuo Fang a headache.

Xu Shuo said lightly, “There’s no need for such troublesome procedures, what we seek is speed, and naturally, the sooner the better. Just use magic to transmit the coronation message to the cathedrals of the major main cities; after all, the blood on the Gate of Palas has been cleaned.”

Zuo Fang: “…”

So hardcore.

…

…

The Gate of Palas was clean again.

At noon.

Today’s weather was quite fitting.

Brilliant sunlight poured onto the stone steps, clearly illuminating the sun crown patterns engraved on the pillars on both sides of the Gate of Palas overnight last night.

In just two or three days.

This gate welcomed its second coronation ceremony.

Although the person being crowned had changed.

The person stepping onto the stage had not.

However, the Papal Conclave was very dissatisfied with the current arrangement.

But to avoid lengthy delays, they could only proceed with a hasty coronation to consolidate the position of divine power, and once the chaos on the continent completely subsided, the Holy Court would hold a second grand coronation.

Xu Shuo, dressed again in the ornate clerical robe, holding the radiant Sun Crown scepter, ascended the platform under the hosting of the Papal Conclave.

This time.

Below the Gate of Palas.

Were still standing the Varo Royal Family, performing the observant salute.

Also standing were the nobles who hadn’t managed to escape the Royal Capital and were forced to participate in the coronation with uncertain emotions.

This time.

There were no accidents or changes like yesterday.

The coronation ceremony was completed very smoothly.

The Pope of Light was now renamed the Pontiff of Light.

Xu Shuo stood on the high platform, waving the Sun Crown scepter.

Brilliant golden light spilled onto the earth, aligned with the direction of the sun, and thus, led by Prince Simon and Princess Teresa, the Varo Royal Family all knelt respectfully, proclaiming their allegiance to the Holy See of Light.

The Varo Royal Family had already chosen to pledge allegiance.

The nobles no longer struggled either; struggling wasn’t something to be done at this time, and none dared to hold their heads high.
