"Effective immediately!"
"The Empire's new national title: Holy!"
Before the person arrived, accompanied by endless holy light falling, Lucian's voice echoed out.
When the dazzling golden light converged into a human figure and appeared on the nine hundred and ninety-nine-story high platform.
Countless people inside the square's space were excited.
"Welcome His Majesty, Emperor of the Holy Empire!"
"May the Empire be immortal, and Your Majesty eternal!"
Countless people were shouting, full of enthusiasm for the Empire and reverence for Lucian.
At this moment.
Everyone was surprised to find a wine cup appeared in his hand.
The fine wine was fragrant.
Everyone looked up.
His Majesty on the high platform seemed to be magnified countless times, extremely majestic.
"Looking forward to a new future, let us encourage each other!"
Lucian raised his hand and cup, celebrating with the Empire, with the citizens, and with the future.
"May the Empire be immortal, and Your Majesty eternal!"
The Empire's citizens cheered again, raising their cups and drinking.
As His Majesty said, the new Empire will start a new life.
This founding of the nation, Lucian didn't make too many fancy moves.
He came, just to see.
To see the Empire's citizens, to feel the reverence and faith in their hearts.
This would give Lucian more motivation.
"The Holy Empire, sets sail from today."
There were multiple reasons for Lucian changing the national title.
First, the word "Invisible" was no longer suitable.
Second, it would create a sense of isolation for people outside the original Empire.
Once the new national title was out, everyone was family.
Otherwise, everyone would discuss: I am from Konoha. Oh, I am a local of the Invisible Empire.
Too messy, it would generate various negative emotions in people from other places.
Third, a new Empire, a new atmosphere, a new national title, a new voyage.
"It has to be said, great..."
Those who joined the Empire later, like Hyuga Hiashi, Third Raikage Ay, Shisui, Might Gai, all looked at the majestic figure on the high platform with emotion.
No one expected.
That there would be such a day.
People from the original countries would gather together to cheer and look forward to the future.
But when it happened.
Everyone realized how beautiful it was.
Worth everyone protecting it.
"The Empire's new policies are as follows!"
Amidst the crowd's excitement, Konan spoke again on the high platform:
"The military rank system is initiated."
"The Empire is divided into three military branches: Army, Navy, and Air Force, to maintain the Empire's stability and eliminate external threats."
"Army Marshal: Senju Hashirama!"
The God of Shinobi?
Countless people looked at the high platform; after all, this was a name remembered by countless people in the Ninja World.
Swish!
Senju Hashirama, wearing a black military uniform with a Marshal's cape, appeared on the high platform.
Solemn salute!
"Army Marshal Senju Hashirama, respectfully greets His Majesty, Emperor of the Holy Empire!"
This scene attracted countless gazes.
Although on the high platform, everyone could see clearly.
Those who knew Hashirama twitched the corners of their eyes; truly rare.
A solemn Great Pillar (Hashirama).
Suddenly looks a bit handsome?
"Thank you for your hard work..."
Lucian personally pinned the Marshal's medal on Hashirama and patted his shoulder lightly.
"Strive for the rise of the Empire!"
Senju Hashirama's voice was thick and powerful.
Starting today, he is the Army Marshal.
"Navy Marshal: Uchiha Madara!"
Whoosh!
As soon as this name came out, it caused a sensation. Countless people widened their eyes, staring tightly at the high platform.
God and Asura, legends of the Ninja World.
But for some reason.
People were more curious about the Asura.
Swish!
Uchiha Madara, wearing a white military uniform and draped in a Marshal's cape, appeared, shaking countless hearts.
That invisible aura was too domineering.
That whiteness formed a sharp contrast with Senju Hashirama's black.
Solemn salute!
"Navy Marshal Uchiha Madara, respectfully greets His Majesty, Emperor of the Holy Empire!"
Looking at Madara, Lucian felt emotional.
The bloodthirsty Asura finally had something he was willing to protect with his life.
What?
Blackening makes one three times stronger, whitewashing makes one seventy percent weaker?
But only the strong are qualified to define black and white.
Madara, protecting the Empire, will unleash power far surpassing before.
"Anything to say?"
Lucian asked while pinning the Marshal's medal on Madara.
"I, Uchiha Madara, will always march in the direction guided by Your Majesty, willing to dedicate everything to the Empire!"
Uchiha Madara's words were deafening.
When Madara retreated to his original position.
Many people were in a trance.
The Asura protecting the Empire, loved it, loved it.
At this time, Konan's eyelashes trembled slightly for some reason, and she spoke loudly:
"Air Force Marshal: Otsutsuki Kaguya!"
At this time, Konan hadn't finished speaking. Because people didn't know her, she continued to introduce.
"Otsutsuki Kaguya, took first place in the Three Armies Competition, locking her life force with powerful strength, freezing her youth at eighteen forever."
"..."
Lucian's eyelid twitched.
Who wrote this introduction?
However, this introduction attracted everyone's attention.
Men were stunned and surprised.
Women were envious and admiring.
Suppressing heroes as a woman, becoming a Marshal, a heroine not inferior to men.
"Otsutsuki Kaguya, was once accepted as a student by His Majesty, Emperor of the Holy Empire. Her character is resolute and brave, her literary talent spans past and present. Later selected as His Majesty's personal guard, today obtaining the position of Air Force Marshal, glory added to her body."
"..."
Too outstanding!
Countless people were shocked internally for Kaguya.
Outstanding enough to be accepted as a student by His Majesty and become a personal guard.
Instantly!
An image of a valiant and peerless beauty appeared in countless people's minds.
Swish!
The moment a tall woman wearing a blue military uniform appeared, everyone fell silent.
"Air Force Marshal Otsutsuki Kaguya, respectfully greets His Majesty, Emperor of the Holy Empire!"
Countless people had no words.
Two words: Outstanding!
"Truly opened my eyes..."
Looking at Kaguya, Lucian was slightly surprised.
Is this that foolishly cute Miss Kaguya?
Look at those ruby eyes full of determination, look at that exquisite face full of solemnity, look at that steady and powerful salute.
Overall look.
Valiant and heroic, a heroine not inferior to men.
Lucian was satisfied.
Kaguya has also grown a lot.
Finally don't have to worry.
Lucian didn't say anything and pinned the Marshal's medal on Kaguya.
Kaguya spoke solemnly at this moment:
"Anyone who dares to be an enemy of the Empire, anyone who dares to violate Your Majesty's majesty, anyone who dares to destroy the Empire's territory, anyone who dares to harm the Empire's citizens!"
"Die!"
The last word exploded like thunder.
Stirring everyone's hot blood, they cheered one after another, shouting loudly:
"Marshal Kaguya!"
Hearing the crowd's shouts, joy flashed in Kaguya's eyes, then she returned to solemnity.
Returned to her original position.
Konan continued to announce the Admirals/Generals of the three armies.
"Army Generals: Uchiha Izuna! Hatake Sakumo! Jiraiya!"
"Navy Admirals: Namikaze Minato! Nagato! Kisame!"
"Air Force Generals: Uzumaki Kushina! Uchiha Mikoto! Tsunade!"
"Three Armies General Candidates: Sasori, Senju Nawaki, Yahiko, Terumi Mei!"
The remaining Vice Admirals/Lieutenant Generals were also read out one by one.
After Kaguya became the Air Force Marshal, Konan became Lucian's new personal guard.
Responsible for leading the Holy Soldier units.
Not entering the three armies.
Kakuzu in the Finance Department, White Zetsu in the Intelligence Department, Orochimaru in the Academy of Sciences.
The above were arrangements for the original members of the Divine Holy Legion.
"The Holy Soldier units remain unchanged, not entering the three armies, maintaining the stability of the Imperial Capital. In case of war, they march with the army, obeying the Marshal's arrangements."
"Grand Captains receive General Candidate rank."
"Captains receive Lieutenant General rank!"
"Squad Leaders receive Major General rank!"
"Effective immediately, the three armies will recruit three hundred thousand soldiers from the entire Empire!"
"That is all!"
Several months passed in a hurry!
The Empire entered an era of steady development.
Every place was renewed daily.
The population began to explode!
First Year of the Empire: July 23rd.
Uchiha Sasuke was born!
First Year of the Empire: September 22nd!
Nara Shikamaru was born!
First Year of the Empire: October 10th.
Namikaze Naruto was born!
First Year of the Empire: December 27th!
Hyuga Hinata was born!
Five years later!
The Empire was completely stable.
All citizens' hearts returned to the Empire, times changed.
Hyuga Clan Grounds.
"I'm sorry, Father..."
A very soft and sweet voice rang out crisply, full of apology and timidity.
A five-year-old girl.
Wearing a white training uniform with the Empire's pentagram emblem drawn on it, white pupils with a thin mist, light blue-purple short hair, and strands of weakness on that exquisite little face.
Her two small hands were twisted together.
Hyuga Hinata!
"Sigh..."
Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but sigh.
He was somewhat disappointed with his daughter's performance, but not overly harsh.
The Empire's current regulations.
One needs to be an adult to join the three armies, but can enter the Holy Soldier units at six years old.
That is the cradle of the strong.
Next year Hinata can join the unit, so Hyuga Hiashi had been training Hinata to ensure she performs well upon joining.
So-called clans are useless in the Empire.
Only with talent and strength, only with merit and ability, only by being valued by the higher-ups can one gain the right to speak.
Of course.
If valued by His Majesty.
That's called bringing glory to the ancestors!
Hyuga Hiashi only fantasized in his dreams.
Hinata is a good daughter.
Kind, gentle, sensible.
But in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes.
These are not enough to make Hinata strong.
Five-year-old Hinata lacks a kind of confidence and is too shy and bashful. In this situation, she would probably be eliminated on the day of joining the unit.
Hyuga Hiashi was worried.
The main account is not powerful.
Do I have to train an alt account?
No, the alt account is ready, to be born in a few months.
"Hinata, what is your dream?"
Looking at his somewhat weak daughter, Hyuga Hiashi's tone softened.
"Dream?"
Hinata looked at Hiashi carefully, blinking lightly, before saying crisply:
"The Empire eternal, His Majesty immortal, the Empire's citizens happy and healthy, everyone in the family safe and happy."
Hiashi nodded gently: "Is there anything else?"
"I..."
There was a sentence she dared not say, Hinata had no confidence, but seeing her father's expectant eyes, Hinata finally shouted it out.
"I want to become strong!"
"I want to become like Air Force Marshal Lady Kaguya, sharing the burden for His Majesty, striving for the Empire's prosperity."
Hum!
To Hiashi's surprise.
Little Hinata's Byakugan, activated!
Under normal circumstances, Hyuga clan members need constant practice and training to open their eyes.
But little Hinata.
Surprised Hiashi.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Looking at the inexplicably excited Hiashi, little Hinata blinked in confusion.
Hyuga Hiashi was just about to speak.
At this moment!
A voice that seemed to come from extremely far away made both father and daughter tremble.
"Pure Byakugan, not bad."
"Cute girl, tell this concubine your name."
