After the new country's name was decided, the mental outlook of the people under its rule also underwent tremendous changes.
When something is still uncertain, even if many people are optimistic about it, people will still feel a little uneasy. At this time, the confirmed result is like a stone falling, even if it has some flaws, it can make people feel at ease.
The determination of the name and title of the country not only brought comfort to the people, but also gave them new expectations and vitality. Loran Hill herself also felt a different change. She had been reluctant to make a decision before because it conflicted with what she had said in the past.
She was supposed to overthrow all kinds of oppression and build a beautiful and equal world, but she suddenly turned around and became an emperor-like existence. This was a betrayal, she vaguely felt in her heart.
But now that she is in this position, she will no longer refute or regret it. Regardless of the past and present, even the most democratic system must elect an independent and unique leader. An organization needs a unified and strong will that will not change easily. Two voices and multiple different opinions may be suitable for behind-the-scenes discussions. Once it comes to reality, they must pursue consistency and unity.
Undoubtedly, this will oppress individual freedom, but it also ensures its strength, allowing the organization to survive.
In order to survive and win the competition, sometimes this price has to be paid. The lower the starting point, the more powerful and consistent force is needed.
“I don’t know whether what I do now will be praised or condemned by future generations, but I want to do it well now.”
Wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with golden orchid silk, Loran Hill walked slowly through the palace corridor of Yuzhang Mountain, followed by maids wearing light gold long-sleeved witch costumes. The sunlight passed through the railings and pillars of the corridor, and the light and dark gratings slid across her face and clothes.
The owner of this place used to be Chifeng Suqin, but now it’s her.
Climbing to the Golden Throne Hall on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the distant sun slowly rising from the sea of clouds, shining on the world. As Loran Hill raised his hand, countless strong winds swept forward, blowing away the rolling thick sea of clouds below the mountain.
The clouds gradually thinned, revealing the mountains and land below, the prosperous Luojing, the long river of light winding eastward across the land, the verdant mountains and rivers, and the golden waves of wheat swaying in the wind across the fields.
One after another, magnificent floating warships slowly rose from the rolling clouds, the roar of their rotating propellers merged into one, and the wide red sails slowly flapped in the wind, making a slight sound of mechanical transmission.
"Your Majesty, the Red Toon Wood Fleet is ready." A witch came to Loran Hill's side and reported with her head down.
"Um."
Loran Hill replied softly, his eyes sweeping over the warships that were dyed pale gold by the sunlight. There were about three hundred of them, including about 180 small flying carp airships and 180 medium-sized
There are about 64 Qiongniao-type warships and about 42 large dragon-type warships, including 36 Qingdian-class warships and 6 Zixiao-class warships.
"Let's go. If Kunlun Yuting rejects our proposal, we will defeat it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, a long ivory horn sounded on the top of the mountain, and the leading dragon boat warship also raised a flag with orchids and phoenixes printed on it, and then began to accelerate and sail towards the place where the sun rises.

At the same time, at the top of Yunmen Mountain, where Kunlun Yuting’s headquarters is located.
"That new phoenix is truly impatient. He launched his attack right after the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival." Within the jade-clad hall, ten Kunlun Jade Court skywatchers sat on their thrones, watching the scene reflected in the central jade mirror: a scene of armies marching on the ground, bearing the banners of the Cang Lan Dynasty. After gathering the southwestern continents and commanding the central ones, Roland Hill ordered Chief Winter to march his recruited and trained soldiers to the eastern border, ready for battle.
Now the first batch of 200,000 troops has begun to set off, and subsequent recruitment and training are still in progress. It is estimated that by June next year, about 600,000 soldiers will be able to be deployed on the battlefield.
The population density in the East is higher than in the West, not to mention the most prosperous central and southwestern continents, which already have a large population. This is also the result of Loran Hill selecting the best recruits.
All other countries perished due to their weakness, but the Plantagenet dynasty perished due to its strength. Although it came to an end, most of the food, firearms, and personnel accumulated over hundreds of years were preserved. This is why Loran Hill was able to quickly initiate many measures.
"How are our preparations going?" A sky inspector wearing a jade crown looked to one side of the hall, where sat a general wearing heavy rock armor. Judging from his position, he should be a land official.
"All the soldiers under King Dai have been gathered. Now they have been organized into an Earth-Shaking Army of about 400,000. All of them are equipped with solid rock armor and stationed in cities along the way. They are as impregnable as a rock." He spoke in a muffled voice, as if coming from the cracks in the thick rocks.
"Very good. Now the 200,000 Feiyu Army in Yumen Mountain is almost ready." The man nodded with satisfaction.
"Originally, I was thinking of dealing with the remaining Five Phoenixes army, and now it is just the right time to use it."
"If this is not enough, there are still those exotic beasts from the mountains and seas. However, I feel that the new phoenix is not needed yet." As they spoke, several of them chuckled again.
Although the prayer ceremony held by Loran Hill a few days ago surprised everyone in Kunlun Jade Court, as time passed, the surprise gradually faded and they regained a lot of confidence, because now they are no longer the scattered factions hundreds of years ago, but an organization that has formed a powerful alliance. Even if the former Red Phoenix came in person, he might not be able to please them, let alone this immature new Phoenix.
In the process of assisting the emperor in suppressing the dragon veins, these major sects began to consider the possibility that the Red Phoenix might escape or recover in the future. They were not as naive as the emperor, thinking that the phoenix could be imprisoned so easily. In fact, they also thought about the possibility of asking the emperor to execute the Red Phoenix, but in the end they felt that the risk was too great and did not take action. After all, the disaster of the dragon veins was too difficult, and they also needed the existence of a phoenix, but they had not found a suitable replacement yet.
Now that Loran Hill has solved the dragon vein problem, there will be no major problems for at least thirty years, so they can let go.
Thirty years is enough time for them to find a solution to the problem, or to find and train a goddess who can deal with the problem.
After gaining full confidence, 'Kunlun Yuting' naturally ignored the agreements and arrangements sent by the Canglan Dynasty, directly rejected them coldly, and then prepared for war. Both sides believed that they could defeat the other side on the battlefield, and the peace talks became something that no one cared about.
War is inevitable.
