A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 247 Beacon

A sudden, earth-shaking tremor ensued.

A beam of light appeared in the sky.

"What? These people have more tricks up their sleeves?"

Jess was surprised and uncertain. He really didn't expect that a survivor from a small plane would have so many tricks up his sleeve.

"Why does this thing look so much like a beacon?"

Jiang Shuzhou sensed the intense but ineffective magical fluctuations and felt puzzled. To be honest, he also felt that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, a pattern appeared in the sky. Jiang Shuzhou looked up and almost couldn't hold his breath.

A mark appeared in the sky; it was the classic mark of the Mage Alliance, the symbol of the upper city and the lower tower.

"Jace, do you think this thing could be a beacon?"

"I have a feeling that it might be true, but what do these people mean? Aren't they with the angels?"

Jiang Shuzhou was also very puzzled, but then he seemed to understand something.

"Is it possible that they don't know we're part of the Mage Alliance? So they're doing this to try and take advantage of us?"

"You know what, you really think it's possible. No wonder such a dilapidated place could build a city like this. No wonder the Grey Beasts didn't attack Burmer. Turns out they're all family."

Jess understood.

Jiang Shuzhou's thoughts were similar to Jess's, but he thought about it a little deeper.

Oh no, am I going to be a freeloader now?

After fighting hard for half a day, recruiting people in a lousy place like the lower city, and doing a lot of petty theft to make a living, they finally managed to fight their way to the enemy's hometown.

The results of it?

What do you mean they're calling for our reinforcements?

"Quickly, all troops, attack the parliament hall! Kill all members of parliament without mercy!"

Jiang Shuzhou immediately realized that the flow of time outside was different from here, and estimated that it would take some time for the troops to arrive.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to first get to Parliament and finish the remaining work.

First, define the nature of this matter.

We can't let these people surrender, otherwise he'll lose all his credit.

"Isn't it over? We can just wait here for reinforcements to arrive and then take over, right?"

Jess is still young and doesn't understand.

"Which do you think deserves more credit: accepting surrender or occupying the territory?"

Now I understand.

The gray tide swallowed everything, leaving only countless cold corpses.

All those who attempted to resist were killed, and now nothing can stop Jiang Shuzhou's advance.

Upon entering the parliament hall, everyone who had come with Jiang Shuzhou gasped in shock.

It is magnificent and full of expensive items and extravagant enjoyment.

Jiang Shuzhou casually picked up a grape and took a small bite.

It smells very sweet.

"I thought this kind of thing was extinct in this world, but I didn't expect to find it here."

Jess was quite moved, as he hadn't tasted this fruit since he came here.

After all, most of this area was occupied by gray beasts, and the few places where crops could be grown had to be planted with grains. He really didn't expect that there would be fruit here.

"That's not all, look over there."

As a result of Jiang Shuzhou's reminder, Jess saw a large group of beautiful and slender women.

Yes, women.

"This is?"

"What do you think? That's why people aren't feeling repressed; after all, they have plenty of fire extinguishers."

Jiang Shuzhou had no interest in this; he was not a lecherous man, and besides, it didn't fit his aesthetic.

Too flashy, too gaudy, but it's understandable.

"Alright, you can go back now. This is none of your business."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand casually, telling these poor people to leave quickly.

"But what can we do?"

For a moment, no one was willing to leave.

Jiang Shuzhou said nothing to this. Let him leave if he wanted; this wasn't his world to rule. He could talk to the monks who managed the place later.

Picking up a fruit platter at random, Jiang Shuzhou led Jess and the others upwards until finally, the magnificent gates of the council hall came into view.

bump!

Jiang Shuzhou kicked the door open.

"Who are you!"

"If you are willing, we can nominate you as speaker."

"We control the vast majority of resources. If we die, things could really go wrong here!"

"Kill us, and then what? You'll become the new oppressor?"

The councilors inside the gates resorted to all sorts of tricks to survive; some promised power, some emphasized their own importance, and some even attempted moral blackmail.

"Old folks, a new era has arrived. You are just trash that should be thrown away."

As he spoke, Jiang Shuzhou ate some fruit, and he had to admit, it was quite delicious.

"Death is your final destination."

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand without waiting for them to speak.

The Greyblood warriors, who had been waiting nearby, rushed forward, roaring, and tore them apart.

The magnificent parliament hall was stained with blood, and the floor was littered with broken antique fragments.

Their past glory is gone; perhaps the only thing that can prove their past glory is the fruit platter in Jiang Shuzhou's hand.

"It tastes good."

After finishing the plate of fruit, Jiang Shuzhou casually tossed the plate aside, and it shattered with a crack, destroying the last piece of evidence of their existence.

At the same time, the screams of the lawmakers stopped.

"You can actually eat under these circumstances."

"What are you saying? Why can't I eat it? Honestly, isn't this fruit delicious?"

"Eating too much can easily cause diarrhea."

"I didn't expect you to be so humorous. We're different. As superhumans, eating some fruit is no big deal."

Jess rolled his eyes. "Is that fruit you're holding?"

"A new era has arrived, Jess. It's time to enjoy the fruits of victory, and of course, clean up some messes along the way."

The old will not go, and the new will not come.

The Greybloods took complete control of the city in just three days.

The upper and lower cities are no longer separated, and everyone can receive supplies for free.

New laws were enacted and new systems were established.

Given that the people here are used to "democracy," Jiang Shuzhou decided that the political system should be more democratic. Therefore, he gave up the idea of ​​giving himself official titles and becoming Emperor Burmer directly. Instead, he announced that he would temporarily assume the position of President.

Jess was reluctantly pulled in by Jiang Shuzhou to become the vice president. Of course, because Vander had joined Jiang Shuzhou early on, Jiang Shuzhou casually appointed him as the finance minister.

In theory, these people should be elected, or at least legally so.

However, Jiang Shuzhou didn't understand the law, and that had been the case since the time of Velisco, so he didn't hold an election.

"Your Excellency President, why don't you hold another election? After all..."

"That's what the legal advisor said."

"We'll talk about it later."

"What about the others?"

I don't think they'll have any objections.

"But……"

"If you say another word, I'll feed you to the gray beasts!"

Finally, it was quiet around me.
