Saidan stepped in. "The one with the most votes is Lord Olutaz of Flussgarde. Come forward, Lord Olutaz, for ye shall take the Ring of the Steward and rule Ehelion in the King's stead." Saidan announced.
*Lots of happy and angry shouts. But it seems most are victory shouts from Olutaz's supporters*
"Gladly."
Lord Olutaz stood up and gracefully walked his way to the Ring of the Steward.
Olutaz stood before Saidan. As he reached the Ring of the Steward, the Parliament was full of hysteric screams. The very moment Olutaz touched the Ring, the cheers and yells came to be loudest!
Lord Olutaz then proceeded to give a victory speech to the Parliament.
"Thank you. Thank you very much for your support. Now, it is time for Ehelion, to recover from the wounds of division and to grow as a powerful nation. A future of uncertainty and danger lies before our way. We are surrounded by big neighbors that could attack us any time in the near future. Hence, we must stay strong and smart for Ehelion! We need to unite when danger is ahead of us!"
*cheers from crowd*
"As the Steward for all of the Egilians, I am going to steer our glorious country to the path of victory and prosperity, and nurture Egilian youths that are smart and strong. I'm going to build schools all across Ehelion, in the countrysides as well, not just the big cities, to our children grow into smart and strong individuals that will serve our nation and lead a meaningful life. Our marketship (economy) will grow twice the size from now."
"Our country is blessed with great potential. I will tap into this great potential and put our good ideas into use. One of them is the field of aviation. We are well-known for our legends of airships, well-known to many even to the Eirians far away from here. Not only should we continue to put our airships into use, but we strive to improve our airships too. Facing the massive hordes from Glesureis, we have to bolster our air fleets like never seen before. We'll not only going to put our airships into mass production in our armies, but I have a new idea."
The crowds shouted in anticipation, awaiting for fresh new ideas from this Steward.
"We'll make zeppelins that can carry Egilians across great distances as fast as possible, between towns, between states and even across the great seas to distant places like Fanixburg and Eisen. And we'll tap into the potential for a big market with aviation. In the market of aviation lies a lot of fortunes waiting for us Egilians to earn. We are looking forward to establish airlines with Pherith, the only other known nation with airships of their own, and boost our trade greatly that way. We will make airships for other countries as well, in return we will earn fortunes for our service and we will also boost up trading with other countries."
"Speaking of aviation, there is also another thing that comes into our mind. Exploration. We will explore every corner of the unknown world as much as possible. Through exploration can we expand our nation. We will build up and strengthen our navy for this, and project our powers all across the world. We will try to take any fertile lands and make it as our colonies. We will claim dominance over the trade routes and make our voice respected in international affairs."
"I will put the interests of our beloved country Ehelion first, but we shall also build up true friendships with other nations across the world and treat all other countries with fairness and justice. With Lanceline, we will continue to defend each other and maintain peace in our surrounding regions. With Pherith, we shall work together for the betterment of both, especially in the fields of witship and trade. Meanwhile, I will try to forge a friendship with Nepoyze and form a mutual defense against Hopen with our allies."
"And I will build great walls to better protect our country from attackers and smugglers!
And I will make Darkhaven pay for it!"
"That's all for today, but things will not stop here. There's more to come. Thank you. Thank you for your support! Together, we shall make Ehelion great again!"
The supporters cheered loudly for Olutaz as he finished his speech. His brilliant ideas for education, economy and aviation have swayed even more new supporters to Olutaz' cause. A bright future is coming for Ehelion, seems that a new age has dawned upon the lands of Ehelion. An age of colonization, an age of industry and an age of aviation.
===============
Research : Industrial Age...
Progress : 35%
===============
On the first day of Olutaz's stewardship, Olutaz issued dozens of law changes regarding the economy, most importantly Olutaz has allowed any Egilian to apply for a chartered company. Egilians can now also start up their own factories with prior approval from the stewardship.
Factories for mass production of zeppelins and air stations for the future airlines are under construction. Some of these are private properties owned by individual Egilians. It won't be too long until airships begin to swarm the skies like never seen before. Still don't worry, it would take a lot of time to finish the buildings alone.
Olutaz's stewardship has came out with hundreds of new projects for development and construction, but Olutaz put the licenses for these projects for sale to the public. Any Egilian wealthy enough may purchase the licenses to develop their project, and as part of the agreement they have to complete these projects before specified deadlines for each project.
In the second week of the stewardship alone, dozens of decrees have been issued. Most of them are approvals of new projects such as schools, barracks, roads and defense facilities. Schools headed by the Gallesburger Witship Academy have been completed construction and were ready to run. All of the Egilian youths between ages seven to twelve now have to attend school; while many teenagers volunteered to join the courses as well. Among the subjects offered are Combat Arts, Mathemathics, Science, Philosophy, Economics and Bakery.
Beginning in the third week, permanent embassies were being established in Lanceline, Pherith and Nepoyze. A free trade agreement is signed with Pherith and Nepoyze as well.
Meanwhile, a dozen of Hopenese spies were being captured in the third week. They were put into deep hibernation by the use of Gallesburger black magics.
Also, Olutaz did himself a favor during the fourth week. Using the powers of the stewardship, Olutaz declared himself as the Marquess of Karastus (Egilian Karastus).
The war is still going strong in Ospia. Tons of Egilian supplies were sold to Nepoyze. Loans were also offered to Nepoyze. Seeing an opportunity to halt Hopenese advance and to expand their markets, the arms industry was being set up in Ehelion as well. Ehelion was making fortunes from the selling of their inventions.
With the sudden increase in supplies and aids from Ehelion, coupled with the massive manpower of Nepoyze itself, the tides of war in Ospia has began to shift towards the Nepoyzeans' favor. Though the Nepoyzeans still couldn't do well before the extreme demonic powers of the Hopenese.
The Egilian economy began to flourish and prosper with thousands of job opportunities and markets being opened up.
===============
However, the sudden dramatic growth of Ehelion, as well as the situation in Ospia, has made Hopen wary.
"What should we do, beloved Empress? Ehelion has recovered from its weakness fairly quickly in just a month's time. And now, our advances are being halted in Nepoyze. We begin to witness airships all over the place."
"......"
"Damn it. We missed the chance to conquer Ehelion, and now Ehelion is rising into prominence! Blame the stupid Nepoyzeans for messing with my empire! If the fucking Nepoyzeans never messed with my borders, I would have dominated the smelly rotten eggs and have them kneel before me like little slaves!" Mererinda groaned, "Anyways, I have a trick up my sleeve. I can see Pherith loosening its alertness and exposing their weakness before me. Darkhaven. Ah, yes, the funny
kurwas between Nepoyze and Ehelion."
"My Empress, do you mean, are we going to use Darkhaven as our pawn?"
"Exactly... you're so cute and smart, I love you dear minion!"
"Through Darkhaven, we can get our hands into the design plans of Egilian airships. We will then make airships of our own for another invasion of Ehelion. Meanwhile, I will make the kurwas kneel before me and my little succubi in worship and admiration. And we shall ask the kurwas to remove eggs from Ehelion......"
===============
A week afterwards in Darkhaven......
"Milord!" a lich approached.
"Yes, minion?" King Darko responded.
The lich exclaimed in excitement, "We of getting many good gift from Big Hopen Empire!"
"What? Is you of sure?" Darko asked.
"Yes! We got many rainbow golds and blades from Big Hopen! And be there a sexy kurwa too!"
"Hey, bring them into me place!"
A few walking skeletons brought chests of gems and refined swords to Darko. A sexy succubus was walking gracefully behind the skeletons as well.
"Hey, my sexy Darko Darkking!" the succubus flirted in a charming voice, shooting a sexy look at Darko.
Darko seemed to be really interested with the succubus.
"Whoah!"
"With sexy kurwa and many monies, we can into seas! We can of removing eggs one day! Darkhaven can finally into world domination! Kurwa!"
, I'll leave you to finish the rest of the Hopen-Nepoyze infiltration, leave some brief information about Edgar in Terra, and mainly, chaos in Eastern Ehelion.
