Chapter 1087: Rebuilding Herasl

"Yulia does indeed have the blood of Heracles flowing through her."

Aiwass spoke, glanced at the Eternal Pope and solemnly swore: "In the name of the candle, I guarantee the correctness of this statement:

"My sister, Julia Moriarty—that is, Julia Hercules, is the most orthodox heir to the Heracle royal family."

As he finished speaking, a golden-red light flashed across his body, indicating Sizhu's approval of his words.

And next to him stood the Eternal Pope.

This means that this sentence is absolutely true!

——Does anyone dare to question the justice of the Eternal Pope?

If the Eternal Pope really disregards justice, he can just go down and knock these prehistoric civilizations away with one punch!

“Surely…”

"Herasil... is it going to be rebuilt?"

"Mom, am I witnessing a turning point in history..."

The guests were in chaos.

And just as they thought.

As expected, Isabel said, "In the name of the Knight King Lancelot du Lac, a pioneering noble from the former Hellasl Empire, I declare that the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Avalon belongs to the New Hellasl Empire!

"In the name of Queen Avalon, I acknowledge Julia Hercules as the Empress—the ruler of the Herathl people!"

At this moment, Noelle, the former eldest princess of Xingti, stood up together with Lalo, who was dressed as a prime minister and looked solemn and serious.

——It was only then that many people realized that this new queen, who had received little attention from the star, was actually here!

"In the name of the newly enthroned Queen of Star, Valentine IX—the direct descendant of Valentine I, Knight of the Stone, and Creator of Star, Bashir Valentine—I declare that the sovereignty of the Star Kingdom and the Black Eagle Territory belongs to the New Hellasir Empire! I recognize Julia Heracles as the Empress—the common ruler of the Hellasir people!"

The words of these two queens shocked people——

Before, people still suspected that the iron-blooded Queen of Avalon wanted to conquer the four countries and rebuild New Hellasir.

Now there is no doubt anymore.

This was obviously discussed in advance!

Avalon and Star Antimony had just recently gone to war... and now, the Kingdom of Avalon, the Black Hawk Principality, and the Star Antimony Kingdom had merged once again to form New Herasl. If it weren't for the inability to find a legitimate successor to the Narcissus Principality, I'm afraid even the Narcissus Principality would have merged!

It was also announced that the Queen of Avalon's husband was from Iris's famous Vendôme family...which meant that Iris also had the possibility of entering the new alliance.

This is no longer just a precursor to war—

If nothing unexpected happens, it may even be possible to rebuild Herasil without bloodshed!

This is actually the reason why Xingti did not initiate a war against Iris.

Essentially, the war between the four nations of Hellas—five if Avalon is included—was always an internal war as the old civilization split and sought to unify, rather than a war against an external civilization. It was similar to the Three Kingdoms or Warring States period.

Everyone wants to rebuild Herasil, but everyone wants to rebuild Herasil with themselves as the main body.

In this situation, unless they achieve a quick victory... once the battle lines are stretched out and the front lines become bogged down, they will be unable to convince their own people, nor will they be able to convince the people on the other side. Even without external intervention, internal war weariness and chaos will rapidly grow, and the manpower and economy in the rear will also be in jeopardy... not to mention the certainty of violent "interventions."

Even if they succeed in annexing the other party, they still need to spend a lot of energy to suppress, assimilate and manage it.

Now, as the high-level extraordinary people from the founding period of Xingti have died or left, Iris has launched political pressure on Xingti - their public opinion attacks are very clever, and the main points of attack are the goblins and the economy.

Iris's economy and employment are currently quite good. While there are still numerous slums, and the gangs that have sprung up from these impoverished populations—particularly the Hawkeyes, which rely on these dispossessed individuals—at least the lives of "city dwellers" are far better than those of Star Antimony.

There is a very important reason for this, which is that they did not accept sponsorship and investment from the goblins.

Although the beheading of the Swan King and the whispers of the empty chest brought about continuous chaos and civil war... however, the confiscation of property of a large number of nobles actually boosted the internal economy of the entire Iris - many civilians, even the poor, snatched a lot of jewelry and wealth in the chaos, which became their own "heirlooms."

Many antique dealers and jewelers bought old gold coins and old jewelry from them at low prices and made a lot of money... Some poor people became civilians because of this, and some civilians became small vendors and intellectuals.

This is why Iris has far more thieves and robbers than other countries—because even from ordinary people's homes, you might actually be able to steal something valuable. Iris's citizen council is also joined by a large number of merchants, resulting in a very good business environment in Iris—factories are everywhere, and even farmland in many villages has been converted into factories.

The good employment situation of Iris was spread to the post-war reconstruction-struggling Star Antimony through the spies sent out by Iris and the media they bribed, which broke the defense of many Star Antimony people.

The chaos caused by the Valentine family, the royal family of Star Antimony, also became a point of attack: the Iris people repeatedly attacked the Valentine family's dictatorial rule through public opinion, and attacked the origin of the first Valentine and their "stealing" of the Black Eagle Duchy and the Narcissus Duchy. They also criticized their handing over many railways, ports, and banks to the goblins as treasonous acts, and emphasized the wealth accumulated by the Valentine family.

Although most of this wealth actually comes from the patent fees for alchemical products, the Star Antimony people no longer care about that.

All this evidence came from the Iris Moonchildren... after all, they did live long enough. At least a third of the Iris Moonchildren had experienced the Rift War. They didn't need "I heard" stories, because they saw it with their own eyes and could even tell the story vividly.

This really caused a lot of trouble.

This is even the direct reason why Queen Noelle of Xingtan, who has not yet announced her succession, is willing to merge Xingtan with her.

Although she felt a little reluctant to give up Xingti directly, it was at least better than being attacked by the Iris People and gaining benefits.

Although the Fallen Angels have been defeated, the Celestial Realm is still in chaos. Perhaps Yulia can help the Celestial Realm achieve true peace...

Yulia stayed in Xingti for a long time after the war, and she witnessed it all with her own eyes.

She also took a deep breath, her expression calm and solemn.

"Everyone, I'm Julia Hercules."

She spoke for the first time, her voice rising high and low: "In the name of the legitimate successor of the Helasil Empire... the first citizen of the New Helasil Empire, and the earthly agent of the Sand Clock, I declare:

"In the new Hellasir, there is no discrimination based on path, race, gender, or origin.

"In the name of equality, harmony, and balance—here, before the gods.

"Rebuild New Herasil!"
