As Fang Zheng chopped the Crimson Knight into eight pieces and burned it to ashes, Huangmo City also disappeared without a trace. Then, the noble coalition army guarding the imperial capital also declared surrender.
They had no choice but to surrender, because when Duke Kane released the Crimson Knights, the bright red fog that erupted from the other side could absorb the physical strength of other people. As a result, the united army of nobles guarding the imperial capital was stabbed from behind by their own people. Before they could react, the entire army collapsed to the ground and turned into a pile of lifeless mud. In this situation, you have no choice but to surrender.
So Eugent III returned to the imperial capital again and declared the civil war over and the failure of the noble rebellion - it took less than three months, even shorter than the Hundred Days War in Liberl.
Of course, everyone in the regular army camp knew the reason why this civil war was won so easily, and that was Fang Zheng's Blizzard. If he hadn't cooperated with the regular army to implement orbital airborne decapitation tactics, it would have taken an unknown amount of time for the 4th Armored Division to fight on its own.
But now, basically, once the war breaks out, the 4th Armored Division is responsible for pinning down the enemy's main force on the front. Fang Zheng will directly airdrop onto the enemy's boss' head, and then quickly disarm and capture him. Since the superiors have been captured, the lower legions will naturally not resist anymore and will surrender obediently.
In fact, the reason why the battle took nearly three months was that more than half of the time was because the 4th Armored Division needed to gather troops and travel - well, that is to say, during the entire civil war, they spent two-thirds of their time on the road, and less than one-third of the time actually spent fighting.
This civil war in the empire also shook the entire continent of Semlia, especially the air-ground combined orbital airborne tactics of Starlight Technology. For other countries, it was just like watching the United States fight the Gulf War, and they were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats. Apart from anything else, this kind of high-altitude orbital airborne is simply impossible to defend against. If you aim at the right place and drop it, and cooperate with a few powerful warriors, it is simply as easy as taking the head of the enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops! !
So, all the countries started to study similar tactics and technologies. Although they already had airships, they were only used for transportation. They had never thought of airdrop tactics like Fang Zheng, where they dropped people directly on top of the enemy. Now seeing that Starlight Technology had beaten the noble coalition army to tears with this tactic, other countries also started to think about it.
Of course, this is all later.
After Eugent III returned to the imperial capital, he first announced the end of the civil war, the failure of the noble coalition rebellion, the deprivation of the four noble families, and the misfortune of other minor nobles. Of course, Eugent III did not forget the contribution of Starlight Technology. Under his orders, the empire also began to publicize how Starlight Technology helped Eugent III escape the capture of the noble coalition and how it helped them regain the territory, especially the final scene where Duke Kane awakened the Crimson Devil and was destroyed by Fang Zheng... Well, of course, this was artistic processing.
Otherwise, if you say that a demon god that had been sealed for hundreds of years was directly cut into a human stick and then burned... then you have to doubt who the boss is.
The next thing to do was naturally to hold a celebration banquet. On behalf of the empire, Eugent III thanked Fang Zheng and Starlight Technology for their help in saving the empire from dire straits - of course, he did not forget to sign the agreement recognizing the independence of Crossbell.
This also made Fang Zheng breathe a sigh of relief. After several months of hard work, I finally got this crappy agreement signed.
At the celebration banquet, Fang Zheng also saw another person who was exactly what he expected - Prime Minister Osborne. Of course, according to him, he was attacked by a sniper at that time, but luckily escaped from the disaster and survived the injury. After that, he had been hiding in a secret place to recuperate until the imperial capital was recovered.
Of course, at this moment at the banquet, although Prime Minister Osborne looked serious, his pale face really looked like he was seriously injured and had not yet recovered.
Fang Zheng naturally laughed at this and said, "I would never believe you."
"Ah, Prime Minister Osborne, long time no see. I'm glad to see you're still alive."
Looking at Prime Minister Osborne in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him. Looking at Fang Zheng, Prime Minister Osborne's face froze slightly, and then immediately returned to normal.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Fang Zheng. I've heard about everything you've done. It's really thanks to you that we were able to eradicate these rebels..."
At this moment, Prime Minister Osborne also had a smile on his face, but he was thinking MMP in his heart. Originally, he faked his death in order to lure the nobles into action. In fact, Prime Minister Osborne had already had the idea and plan, but he didn't expect Fang Zheng to show up halfway and overturn his entire plan.
What hurt Prime Minister Osborne the most was the death of Rufus. Fang Zheng had just wiped out the entire air force of the noble coalition army to save trouble. Rufus, the staff officer of the noble coalition army, was also among them. As a result, he was killed without a complete body. In fact, only Prime Minister Osborne knew that Rufus was one of his iron-blooded sons and the most important chess piece.
Originally, in Prime Minister Osborne's view, Rufus, as the heir of Elbaria, one of the four great families, was the person least suspected by the nobles of having a connection with the reformists. He originally planned to keep Rufus in the dark and use him as a deadly pawn. But now, he played himself to death without even having time to say "I'm sorry, I'm actually an undercover agent."
What made Prime Minister Osborne even more depressed was that even so, he could not speak out his bitterness, because Rufus's identity was top secret and only he knew it. Even Claire, Miriam and Rector, who were also Iron-blooded Sons, did not know Rufus's true identity.
Oh, by the way, Rector also disappeared in Crossbell. No news has been heard from him, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead...
Looking at Fang Zheng who was smiling in front of him, Prime Minister Osborne was so angry... Ten years of planning, all in one day. Fortunately, he had self-control and determination, otherwise he would have rushed over and fought with the opponent for thirty rounds.
So at this moment, Prime Minister Osborne gnashed his teeth and wished he could tear Fang Zheng into pieces, but he still had a smile on his face and chatted with the other party.
"It seems that I am relieved that Crossbell has been handed over to Starlight Technology..."
"Haha, whether you are at ease or not, Crossbell belongs to me."
Fang Zheng didn't care at all. He said something directly that almost made Prime Minister Osborne's blood boil. Just when he couldn't hold back and was about to say goodbye, Fang Zheng stared at him again and laughed.
"By the way, Prime Minister Osborne, I am a businessman. As a businessman, the most important thing is to make money in harmony. Isn't it good for everyone to live in peace and make money in harmony? But there are always stupid things like aristocratic factions or associations that are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. As for me, I hate these idiots who have nothing to do and hold high the banner of saving the world and then make trouble. If you have any problems, you might as well come to me. As long as there is no problem, I can solve it for you easily. It's better than you struggling for a long time and being slapped to death by me... Don't you think so?"
“Ah… uh…”
Facing Fang Zheng's words, Prime Minister Osborne's face became serious. Under Fang Zheng's gaze, he felt as if he had been completely seen through and was completely speechless.
"That's it, anyway."
Looking at Prime Minister Osborne, Fang Zheng laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"I hope everyone can live a peaceful life from now on, and no more idiots will come out to cause trouble and waste my time."
"You are right, Mr. Fang Zheng."
Prime Minister Osborne was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"As you said, being able to live a peaceful and stable life is the best..."
Next, everyone goes back to their own homes and finds their own mothers.
The Empire still had to deal with the aftermath of the civil war, while other countries were busy studying the technology and tactics that Starlight Technology had demonstrated in this civil war. Fang Zheng took the little girls back to Crossbell leisurely and began to live his life again... But before he had lived a comfortable life for a few days, Rufina came to him on behalf of the Seven Lights Church.
To put it simply, the Seven Luminaries Church has a suggestion...
"Build a school?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng frowned.
"There is a school in Crossbell, right?"
"You may not know this, Master Fang Zheng."
Facing Fang Zheng, Rufina was still very respectful. After all, she knew that he was on the same level as the Goddess of the Sky.
"In fact, not long ago, many countries approached our Seven Lights Church, hoping that we could coordinate and communicate with Crossbell..."
Now that Crossbell has become an independent country, it is not unusual for countries to send ambassadors to establish diplomatic relations with it. Not to mention considering the roles of the Empire and the Republic, other countries certainly don't want to offend them, so they found the Church of the Seven Stars.
This is also normal.
However, this gave the old French king an idea.
"So, you want Crossbell to build an international school to attract talents from all over the world?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng frowned.
"Isn't this similar to Liberl's Johnny's Academy?"
"Of course that's not the case, Lord Fang Zheng. After all, the Kingdom of Liberl is also a kingdom with a profound heritage, and Crossbell has a unique geographical location. Moreover... this is also a relatively good development."
"Um……"
After listening to Rufina's suggestion, Fang Zheng began to think. The Seven Lights Church's intention was very clear. They hoped that Crossbell could become an independent organization like the United Nations, but closely related to various countries. So the best way was to open a school and let various countries send teachers and students to Crossbell to create a purely international school.
Of course, this kind of school may sound simple, but the requirements are not low. First of all, the power must be strong enough to suppress all the surrounding countries. Secondly, it must have its own cultural attributes. For example, the Kingdom of Liberl, although it is not large in area, has also inherited a thousand years of cultural history. But Crossbell is different. The culture here is originally a hybrid of the Empire and the Republic. To put it bluntly, there is no local characteristics. It is all imported, and it is faster to accept various cultures from outside.
"That's quite interesting."
After thinking for a while, Fang Zheng nodded.
"Then you guys go and coordinate, and I'll take care of the rest."
After all, I have been a teacher for so many years, but I have never been a principal. It would be great if I could build a school and spread the gaming culture to all parts of the Zemuria continent.
I wonder if it’s possible to open an e-sports school?
