Holly didn't have time to lose his composure and hurriedly got up from the ground.
"City Lord, I am the acting city lord appointed by His Majesty. You have no right to remove me!"
What he said was the truth. Zhang Xing wasn't a relative of the royal family and didn't have full autonomy. He wasn't a real lord like the other princes.
The other people in the house were also stunned.
This little city lord was here early in the morning for this matter?
It seemed a bit unreliable!
According to the procedure, he should have asked for His Majesty's imperial edict and read it.
But he didn't have an imperial edict, and he just opened his mouth and completed the emperor's task. What was this?
This was overstepping his authority!
He would be beheaded and his family exterminated!
All of them acted as if they didn't recognize Zhang Xing. Aren't you a little too bold? Who gave you the right to do so?
Even if you are the commander of the Battle Dragon Legion, you have no right to interfere with internal affairs!
Fei 'er and Xue' er were also dumbfounded. So they were asked to be the acting city lord, but this was too … ridiculous.
Endo was scared silly. The corner of his mouth twitched and he almost fainted.
He thought he was here to eat, but who knew he was here to take his life?
With his title, it was impossible for him to be the acting city lord. Even if His Majesty wanted to promote him, he would have to do it step by step.
How could he be like Zhang Xing? If he was like this, the empire would be in chaos.
If the royal family, civil officials, and generals in the imperial capital knew, they would drown the father and daughters with their spittle.
Zhang Xing, oh Zhang Xing, if you don't know anything, don't blindly make arrangements. You are harming others and yourself!
Zhang Xing's gaze swept over everyone's faces. He smiled faintly: "The era of the Celestial Star Empire is old history. It is now the first year of the Starry Sky Empire Alliance."
"You don't know?"
He knocked on the table and continued: "There is no emperor in the Starry Sky Empire. His Majesty Keith is now the grand elder of the council. The other four emperors are elders."
There was one more thing Zhang Xing didn't say. He, as the commander of the Battle Dragon Legion, was the highest commander of the nuclear missile force. He had military power and didn't listen to the council.
"Therefore, as the acting city lord, you should return to the capital and report to Elder Keith."
When everyone heard this, they all felt that it made sense. The anger on Holly's face turned into shock.
That's right, I should return to the Imperial Capital and wait for His Majesty to make new arrangements. After all, the five countries have merged into one, and the people in charge of all the territories will definitely change.
In the past, it was one person who had the final say. Now, it was a five-person discussion.
He slowly sat down, unable to find any reason to refute Zhang Xuan's words.
However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. The country's system had changed, and it seemed that Zhang Xing was no longer the City Lord, right?
You don't have the right to change the acting city lord, do you?
Even if you're still the City Lord, the Acting City Lord has to be chosen by the Council.
What a cunning Zhang Xing. I was almost confused by you.
"Lord Zhang Xing, I won't leave until I receive the order from the council."
No matter what he said, he would not leave. This was a treasure trove. As long as he could be the substitute city lord, he would be able to fish for another day.
Furthermore, the treasures that he had secretly collected over the years were still hidden in the secret room. Even if he wanted to leave, he would have to delay it for a few days.
"Hehe, you have to leave even if you don't want to. This place has been requisitioned by the Battle Dragon Legion. I want to build an army here."
"The Council has no right to interfere with me. Not only you, all the other unrelated personnel have to leave."
"Lord Endo, I will now officially appoint you as the acting city lord of Redbud City."
"Men, pass down my order. The entire city is under martial law. Only people are allowed to enter and not leave. Only with my approval can anyone leave the city."
Black Treasure's towering figure stood at the gate.
"Yes, City Lord!"
After speaking, he transformed and flew towards the city gate.
