Chapter 699
The conferring of title was not disclosed to the public. Only a few were aware of the event.
The Southern Plains’ military region was in a festive mood. “Congratulations, Dragon General…” Henry approached James with a bright smile. “No, wait. It should be the Dragon King now.” “Okay, I get it. Stop buttering me up.” James gestured for him to stop.
He cared little about these titles.
Levi walked over to him and asked, “What should we do about the 140 cities handed over by the twenty-eight nations?”.
James rubbed his temples.
This was a difficult question.
“Call for a conference.”
James got up and headed to the conference room.
In the conference room at the military region headquarters…
The Elite Eight and the generals of the Black Dragon army gathered. James sat at the very front.
Levi pulled out a document and read out loud, “Each of the twenty-eight nations has ceded five cities to Sol. Although they are small in size, the combined area of the territories is massive. According to our information, there are a total of 300 ethnicities and a combined population of 100 million distributed among the cities.”
James paid close attention.
The 140 cities had been annexed by Sol.
The populace was now Soleans.
Levi finished reading the document.
Henry said smiling, “You’re now the Dragon King. Not only that, the higher-ups have said that you’ll be in charge of the newly acquired territories. What do you plan to do now?”
James was at a loss. “I don’t know anything about state-building or public administration.”
After brief contemplation, he ordered, “Henry, you’ll be in charge of handling the public administration of the cities. Remember to assuage the populace. Let them know that being a Solean is a great honor.”
