Chapter 221: The Great Flame Kingdom
“Everyone, since the relocation and the noble title system are confirmed for implementation, and all the preparations have been completed, why not put it into action sooner?”
Outside the stone house, the high priest looked at Zhong Ren and the other Vice Councilors with great satisfaction.
All six of them nodded slightly.
They understood that the high priest was eager to become a viscount.
However, they had no intention of deliberately delaying the process.
First, it was unnecessary.
Second, it was in their own interests.
According to the original relocation plan, once the Flame Mountain Tribe moved to the Royal City and renamed the Great Flame Kingdom, Yi Chen would have to take a few hours each month to hold high-level meetings.
This was the benefit that all the Vice Councilors and leaders desired most.
It meant that once relocated to the Royal City, they would see Yi Chen once every month.
Even though Yi Chen seemed like a hands-off leader, delegating all power to the Political Council, which benefited the high-ranking officials there, it also meant that they completely lost the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of Yi Chen.
Only certain major decisions could be delivered to Yi Chen through documents placed in the stone house’s mailbox.
Moreover, these documents related to significant decisions would only mention the voting results of the seven high-ranking officials in the Political Council.
There was no way to present who had proposed these initiatives or the subsequent effects on the Flame Mountain Tribe in front of Yi Chen.
Without the chance to showcase their abilities to Yi Chen, any advantage in the internal power struggle of the Political Council was merely an empty dream.
Yi Chen, the Country Lord, often did not leave the house for months.
All matters were left to the Political Council to handle.
He even refused to participate in the founding celebration of the Great Flame Kingdom or the conferring of titles to its first batch of nobles.
He acted as if he had completely sidelined himself.
But no one would doubt that the Great Flame Kingdom was Yi Chen’s Great Flame Kingdom.
Just like when Yi Chen waved his hand and expanded the Royal City tenfold based on the plans from the Political Council.
No one dared to oppose him.
Today, everyone knew that Yi Chen’s decision to establish a new group of nobles was entirely for Guli of the Eastern Army.
This was because Guli had brought him into the Flame Mountain Tribe back in the day.
Making the high priest the first viscount was purely a reward for his past efforts.
This emotionally-driven action was certainly a major taboo for a qualified Country Lord.
Yet still, no one dared to oppose it.
The high-ranking officials of the Great Flame Kingdom understood that only by gaining Yi Chen’s recognition for their abilities and achievements could they secure their power.
Not to mention, the high-ranking military leaders were all natives, while most of the higher-ups in the Political Council, except for the high priest, were fake heavy criminals.
They all entered the exile planet with the mission to approach and control Yi Chen.
Although most people subconsciously lost hope regarding this task.
After so many years, they had slowly begun to adapt to life on the exile planet, enjoying the feeling of high status in the Great Flame Kingdom.
But if there was a chance to complete the task, it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try.
The Vice Councilors naturally would not oppose the quick implementation of the relocation plan.
“Since everyone has no objections, why don’t you all come to my home? I’ll prepare some fine food and drinks, and we can discuss the details?” the high priest suggested.
“No, I have other matters to attend to.”
Zhong Ren left decisively.
“I need to visit the branch council.”
Feng Yue quickly followed.
They both understood that the high priest just wanted to show off a little.
Soon after, two more Vice Councilors followed Zhong Ren and Feng Yue in leaving.
However, the remaining two Vice Councilors congratulated the high priest.
The seven high-ranking officials in the Political Council no longer moved in unison as they once did, when six Vice Councilors would unanimously vote against any major decision by the high priest, who had become almost sidelined.
As the newly appointed Vice Councilors solidified their power, they began to establish their own paths.
The high priest, once the target of a collective attack, now found himself both surrounded and courted by the Vice Councilors.
…
Half a month later, Bai Ruo Xin came to inform Yi Chen that the relocation plan had begun to be implemented.
Yi Chen continued to concentrate on his training and the creation of law seals.
Bai Ruo Xin took control of the stone house and flew over the Flame Mountain Tribe’s people towards the Royal City.
The entire valley had nearly been emptied.
Only a few spirit fields and workshops outside the valley remained, with a small number of tribe members left behind, which would eventually be abandoned.
The entire Royal City covered an area of over five hundred square kilometers.
There were no walls built.
Because, according to Yi Chen, the Great Flame Kingdom did not need defense.
This would also make expansion easier in the future.
In the eyes of the high-ranking officials of the Political Council, this was utter nonsense.
Except for the high priest, almost everyone knew that the total population of all the natives on the exile planet was just over ten million.
And five hundred square kilometers of Royal City was enough to accommodate all of humanity on the exile planet.
What further expansion was necessary?
Moreover, the exile planet was vast; they couldn’t possibly gather all of humanity in a small corner, could they?
Unfortunately, despite the matter being addressed in the documents, Yi Chen chose to ignore it.
The Political Council could only plan according to Yi Chen’s ideas.
The Royal City had not even fully established its basic structure.
Fortunately, with thorough planning, relocating in advance was not an issue.
At the center of the Royal City lay the royal palace.
It covered about one square kilometer.
It’s not large, but it’s not small either.
After all, the true owner of the entire palace was only Yi Chen.
Next came the guard team.
At Bai Ruo Xin’s insistence, the headquarters of the Intelligence Organization was also established within the palace.
This person was quite willful.
Despite it being an overstepping action, she insisted on doing it.
Strangely, no one dared to offend her.
The Intelligence Organization is generally disliked and no one dares to easily offend it in any regime.
The Great Flame Kingdom was no exception.
In fact, it was even more dominant in this regard.
Because the Great Flame Kingdom’s Intelligence Organization is independent of the Political Council and is the only entity that can deliver documents directly to Yi Chen’s mailbox.
Bai Ruo Xin herself could visit Yi Chen every few days.
Even the high priest of the Political Council did not have the courage to do so.
Among the first batch of noble titles, with eight nobles and one slot assigned to Bai Ruo Xin, no one dared to provoke her.
The only thing the high-ranking officials of the Political Council felt fortunate about was that this leader of the Intelligence Organization seemed uninterested in vying for power.
No matter which side tried to win her over, she completely ignored them.
As long as no major mistakes were made, the Intelligence Organization had little impact on them.
At the center of the palace was Yi Chen’s own palace.
The decorations and such were not yet complete.
However, none of this mattered to Yi Chen, as he remained in the flying treasure.
The flying treasure was his true palace.
However, it was currently just a small stone house that he hadn’t had time to refine.
With the various spirit mine materials available, he could already elevate the flying treasure several levels.
The entire relocation process took only about five days.
Afterwards came the grand founding ceremony and the awarding of titles.
Yi Chen was busy with his training and creating the Spirit Gathering Formation, preparing to create the ‘Cave Paradise,’ and did not participate in the events.
But this did not affect his status as the god and highest ruler of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
