Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Follow-up Handling Results
“Since they have all left, we should head ho too. Let’s report back first.”
As the King had been extrely busy with nurous affairs recently, he had been preoccupied. It was impossible not to report the withdrawal and relocation of such a large army. However, this matter was essentially not a problem, so Zhao Guang ordered preparations to begin.
On that day, Zhao Gang saw Gaoer arrive at his fortress.
“This is your transfer order. Your reward is still being processed and should be issued after you return to your domain,”
Zhao Guang nodded lightly. He was not concerned about these rewards, as no matter what the reward was, his domain was still his own, and it was basically impossible to expand it anymore. After all, his neighbors were either formidable opponents or his own people.
“In that case, I’ll leave this place in your hands. By the way, how are things being handled this ti?”
“Most of the matters have been dealt with, but there are still many issues that need adjusting. As for the outcos for those people, it will be announced later, and everyone will co to know.”
Zhao Guang did not continue to inquire. He took care of the last affairs with his n and then left.
This ti, as he left, he left behind a huge fortress on the border.
In the future, if the other side wants to attack the Chirali Empire, they would have to get through this fortress. For the Klein Empire, this place would definitely be a troubleso affair.
Gaoer also looked at the fortress with a hint of a smile. Defending here would be much easier from now on.
Not only had Zhao Guang constructed this fortress akin to a city using magic, but he had also reinforced it, including Anti-Magic Crystals inside. Moreover, the ground had been raised, making it even more difficult for the enemy to attack.
Even before, using the resources allocated to him, Zhao Guang had established a Mage Tower here.
Because Zhao Guang did not put his full effort into it, the Mage Tower did not reach seven layers but was a six-layered Mage Tower instead.
Indeed, it was very rare to see a Mage Tower built with six layers.
Such a Mage Tower surpassed an Advanced Mage Tower yet did not reach the level of the top Mage Towers. However, it was more than enough to maintain the defense of a fortress. Afterward, all that was needed was to recruit so mages.
After Zhao Guang left, he soon saw the news announced by the Empire on the road.
First was the punishnt notice. The families of Sikell and Xilili, who had participated in the rebellion, were imprisoned in the Imperial City.
However, it was not in the central part of the Imperial City but rather on the outskirts, which made surveillance convenient. At the sa ti, their treatnt hadn’t decreased by much, which also gave Balola a reputation for being just and rciful.
Gossip suggested that Xilili was quite calm, but Sikell spent all day cursing incessantly.
It seed that even if Balola didn’t deal with Sikell, soone else who disapproved of him would take care of him. Even if they didn’t kill him, they wouldn’t let him off easily. This guy, as always, really was thoughtless.
Next was the handling of the Awgus family, which had a very large number of mbers.
Balola directly arranged for them to stay in one of the more prosperous villages in their original territory.
He didn’t strip them of everything, but instead gave them landownership of the village, turning them into Great Landlords. At least, with this land, they could sustain themselves without issue.
But living the high life they were used to before was out of the question.
To both protect and surveil them, Gaoer’s domain was moved to this location. That’s right, after this war, Gaoer’s noble rank was raised one level, from a third-class Marquis to a second-class Marquis.
Initially, Gaoer had only a very small domain, as his family had risen to prominence relatively late.
Now he had been relocated to what was forrly Awgus Territory. The Awgus Territory had been dismbered on the spot, and many nobles and lords would be born here.
Gaoer was among them, but the land he obtained was later a southern territory, which also included a piece of borderland, encompassing the city left behind by Zhao Guangliang.
This city would require a substantial investnt to perfect, but the potential future yield was very promising.
This was equivalent to leaving Gaoer with a huge treasure. At this point, Gaoer was imnsely grateful to Zhao Guang.
Now, taking Gaoer’s own domain into account, it amounted to about one-fourth the size of the original Awgus Territory.
Although it was only a quarter in size with so wasteland, this domain was much larger than those of other Marquis Domains. Upon learning of this reward, other marquises couldn’t help expressing their envy in private.
With Gaoer in this place, the mbers of the Awgus family would not be harassed.
Otherwise, without power and strength, the Awgus family would certainly not have an easy ti. Their family inheritance was still intact, which could help one achieve the rank of a Great Knight. It was a fire attribute Combat Energy inheritance with wide applicability.
And now, no one dared to harbor any designs against them.
Furthermore, because of various reasons and with the hope that the family could rise again, the eldest and third sons of Awgus enlisted for the battlefield, hoping to reclaim noble titles through military rit.
This was an opportunity and hope given by Balola to them.
Due to this reason, the Awgus family held no resentnt towards Balola, but rather, they were filled with gratitude.
As for the person they hated, it was of course the woman Xilili, but sadly, there was no way for them to intersect anymore.
Even so collateral branches of the Awgus family had either severed ties with the main line or had also joined the army, hoping to restore their status in this way.
Having dealt with the Awgus family, attention turned to the nobles and lords involved in these two affairs.
For the sake of the Empire’s stability, Balola could not possibly deal harshly with all of them.
But those who needed to be suppressed had to be suppressed and those who needed to be appeased had to be appeased. How to balance these actions, even Balola himself felt it was extrely taxing, and he had been occupied with these matters for so ti.
If well-managed, the country could quickly stabilize and enter a period of rapid developnt.
If mishandled, the following period would be troubleso, as these affairs were a tangled ss. Especially during the war between the two princes, the relationships ford were chaotic, and it was hard to discern what these people had done.
In order to clarify these issues, the court nobles and the Royal Family’s intelligence organizations had been running themselves ragged recently.
Under these circumstances, Zhao Guang, along with his troops, finally neared his own domain.
