From the Abyss of Stars Part 1

034. Li Aozi, the Socialite of the Four Nations

Although Li Aozi knew that in the old era of Azure Star, it was extremely glorious, with a brilliant civilization and advanced technology, in such an environment, the physical and intellectual capabilities of Azure Star people would not be low.

But he never expected that the arrival of Alexia would bring such a renewed transformation to the entire Bermudes.

Alexia, as a sudden outsider, immediately tamed a large and rebellious group of Children of Fire followers with miraculous methods, and through her speeches, she sharply pointed out the problems in Bermudes.

Getting people to voluntarily admit to the various crimes they had committed—this act was almost too surreal, equivalent to holding each group leader's veil of shame; with a slight tap of her gavel, those who had been elevated to the pedestal would immediately fall, even to the point of being reviled by the masses.

Alexia did not actively pursue the guilt of many; instead, she used this method to help the leaders of Bermudes' factions reach a consensus. Under Alexia's suggestion, a cooperative meeting was initiated, highlighting the severity of the current situation and the necessity of implementing a strict management system while recognizing the true enemy of the Grant people.

"Of course, making mistakes is inevitable."

Alexia said generously during the meeting:

"No one is without faults. We can set these issues aside for now. The most urgent matter for everyone is to form a leadership organization that can prevent a state of leaderlessness."

The meeting went smoothly, perhaps because Alexia and Li Aozi, two amiable Beta-Tier individuals, were both present. There was almost no quibbling, and everyone quickly reached an agreement. Finally, they elected a young military officer as the leader—Xislon Grana, a strong, pragmatic man—Colonel Xislon was appointed as the leader of Bermudes and announced the formation of a military government.

For Grant, forming a military government was not necessarily a bad thing; after all, even a military government is better than feudal serfdom.

Xislon was quite surprised by this. He considered himself a mere soldier with no significant abilities, driven only by a passion for his country and anxiety over its future, leading him to join the coup. After receiving Alexia's endorsement, Xislon was a bit nervous as he stepped to the front of the stage and, under the recording of his personal terminal, delivered his inaugural speech:

"Fellow citizens of Grant, I am Xislon Grana. I have just taken an oath to serve as the leader of the Bermudes Party, leading the Bermudes warriors in resisting the tyranny of Grand Duke Gamos of Grant. Now, we will form a provisional military government. Once our battle is won, we will reorganize the national elections, return power to the people, and rebuild the republic!"

He hesitated for a moment, having overcome his initial nervousness by this point. He opened his mouth, departed from the script, grabbed the microphone, and called out in a deep voice:

"Long live Grant, long live the citizens, long live freedom!"

This sharp-minded and eloquent inquisitor of the old era handed a letter to Li Aozi with a slight smile:

"Dear, I need to trouble you with a little errand."

Li Aozi initially wanted to browse the forum, but seeing the inquisitor's determined expression, he nodded in agreement.
