Seeing the bewildered expressions on the faces of the soldiers and residents of Blazing Flame City, Quan Ji continued speaking.
"I, Princess Quan, swear by my life that everything I say today is the truth!"
"What the people of Holy Light have had, you will have no less of!"
"If you treat me sincerely, I will treat you sincerely in return!"
"May the glory and majesty of the Holy Light shine upon the City of Fire and Arrows for eternity!"
A law of heaven and earth descended, and Quan Ji's oath was established. Every word and phrase was subject to the supervision of heaven and earth, and any violation would surely be punished.
Everyone saw Quan Ji's sincerity and could see just how much face she was giving.
They are the people of a defeated nation, and Princess Quan could easily burn, kill, and plunder them. Even if she wanted them to submit, she could easily make up some excuse, but no one could be sure whether that would actually happen.
But what did they see now?
They witnessed Quan Ji, as the supreme being of the victorious nation, actually swearing an oath to them using the laws of heaven and earth!
Domineering... Everyone felt that Quan Ji was a truly capable and courageous ruler.
Everything she does today is seen and remembered by everyone.
How many people in the world can make such a bold and domineering promise as Quan Ji?
No!
Quan Ji is absolutely the first!
The soldiers and residents of the Fire Yi Empire breathed a sigh of relief because of Quan Ji's action, and they knelt down in sincere worship.
May the Holy Light and Glory protect Fireblight City for eternity!
"We, the people of Holy Glory, will serve Holy Glory with all our hearts and minds!"
"Greetings, Miss!!!"
...
Quan Ji saw a few faint strands of faith power flying out from the crowd.
This is the best proof of their trust in her.
Submission is not conquest, and sincerity is not tyranny.
People live in this world for a peaceful and comfortable life. Now that Princess Quan has given her guarantee, no one needs to worry about being subservient to others or being treated like animals.
They were willing to believe in Quan Ji and risk their lives to live as "citizens of the Holy Light".
They weren't without options; it was simply the best option for them.
People will always cherish the land that nurtured them and helped them grow.
Jun Chenlan stood not far away, quietly watching the girl in front of the crowd receiving their obeisance.
He remembered this day vividly.
The seventeen-year-old girl, with the boundless spirit of a goddess, proclaimed her justice and benevolence for the first empire she conquered after taking power.
She was colder than the world, yet possessed a magnanimity that encompassed all things, surpassing even that of any emperor.
This scene was etched in his heart, written into his poems, and even included in the textbooks of the four major academies.
This is historical progress and the glory of a new era.
...
At the same time, the lord of Fenghuo City also received a letter from Huoyi City, informing him that Huoyi City had been breached by a group of Holy Glory Army soldiers disguised as the Huoyi Empire from the four city gates in the east, west, south, and north.
After reading it, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"This is even more real than pearls?!"
He's completely lost it!
Fortunately... no damage was caused to Fenghuo City. If a few people had died, the compensation would have been painful.
Alas, I never imagined that in just a few days, the Fire Archer Empire, which had fought against the Holy Glory Empire for over two hundred years, would be defeated.
That's what life is all about – full of surprises.
...
The other cities also all chose to surrender.
They are people of this land, and they belong here for life.
