For example, further consolidating and implementing policies for equality among all races, allowing all ethnic groups to freely migrate and settle among the islands;
For instance, carefully selecting members of the former Charlotte family, retaining positions for ministers who are willing to serve and have no serious offenses, to assist in managing the affairs of Ten Thousand Nations;
These measures quickly calmed the previously anxious residents of Ten Thousand Nations, and even made them genuinely grateful and supportive of their new ruler.
After all.
In the previous life in Ten Thousand Nations, while there was happiness, there were also many underlying worries.
Compared to the temperamental and life-stealing woman, their master Lord Shano is not only equally powerful, capable of protecting a nation in this chaotic era, but also so kind and generous.
By any measure, he is definitely a better ruler!
"Lord Ah Yin!"
A little girl with pigtails timidly handed over a newly opened box of strawberry milk, "I heard you like to drink this, this... this is for you..."
Ah Yin glanced down, hmph, it was not its favorite brand.
It's no different from toilet cleaner, but considering the sincerity of this little one, it reluctantly took it and drank it.
"Thank you, Lord Ah Yin!"
Seeing it accept the gift, the little girl jumped around happily, and the children around cheered, with the braver ones already coming forward, wanting to touch its silver fur.
Hey, don't push your luck, kids.
Ah Yin rolled its eyes, but didn't really avoid them, lowering its head to lick the milk attentively, allowing these little ones to touch it all over.
Tormented by a certain orange-haired Demon since young, it has always been tolerant of children. After all, with so much fur, they can pet as much as they want, it's not like it will lose a chunk.
Its peripheral vision happened to notice, not far away, a Green Algae Head and Curly Eyebrow, fighting and cursing each other as they passed out of sight.
These idiots are still fighting, ever since the bounty was announced, they've been at it for over ten days now, fighting every time they meet...
Ah Yin merely glanced and then withdrew its gaze.
It had no interest in meddling, choosing instead to lazily lie down, closing its eyes, enjoying the sunlight and the children's antics,
This kind of day is definitely more comfortable.
By comparison.
Hehe, the master, right now, is probably still in the castle, overwhelmed and busy, right?
......
Cake Castle.
The overly sweet and fairy-tale-like decorations had been completely removed, leaving only the main structure of the castle.
Currently, it serves as the headquarters for the Stationed Corps and has become the new administrative center under Shano's rule.
The hall where BIGMOM's throne once sat has now been transformed into the grand conference hall.
Departments like finance, trade, agriculture, industry, dockyards, personnel, and many others have set up office space here, with a large number of staff bustling daily, handling and processing various documents.
Shano stood alone on the balcony, leaning against the railing, holding a cup of coffee, looking leisurely and relaxed.
Unlike Ah Yin's imagination, he was actually quite at ease this time.
Through this battle, Endgame successfully annexed the entire Ten Thousand Nations, acquiring thirty-four islands across the entire sea, with millions of inhabitants.
Logically, it should be busier than when he controlled the Galaxy Sea Region before.
But times have changed!
Shano took a sip of coffee, his gaze sweeping over the orderly departments within the hall.
Unlike the initial chaos when he took over the Galaxy Sea Region, Endgame has, after several months of expansion, already established a mature administrative system.
Moreover, the management system left behind by the Charlotte family on this side of Ten Thousand Nations wasn't destroyed.
After a bit of integration on both sides, the takeover was smoothly completed, and there was no shortage of talent.
Apart from some major decisions that needed his approval, most of the time was actually quite leisurely.
As the lord of the territory, admitting to being an outsider in many aspects isn't shameful.
Insisting on handling everything personally, like commanding frontline machine guns to move five meters to the left every day, would only cause chaos.
"Hm?"
Shano suddenly felt something, looking upwards, "Already here?"
He put down his black coffee, his figure flickering.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, he disappeared from the balcony railing and appeared on the rooftop at the top of the castle.
The sea breeze blew, and in the distance, Katakuri was already standing there with arms crossed, casting a long shadow under the sunlight.
"You're leaving?" Shano looked at Katakuri, his tone calm.
Katakuri nodded, his gaze scanning the castle that once belonged to their family, now a relic of the past.
"Yes, sir, my brothers and sisters have packed their belongings, and I should be leaving as well."
"Really not planning to stay?"
Shano chuckled, "This is my second time trying to keep you here, you know? Someone reliable like you, with skills and character that suit my taste, there's a spot for you among the top cadres of Endgame."
Katakuri was silent for a moment, then shook his head:
"This is no longer my home. I'm reassured that you are here to protect my brothers and sisters who wish to stay. My mission now is to protect those family members who want to leave."
"To have this opportunity, I must thank you, sir."
Katakuri looked at Shano seriously:
"Thank you for your magnanimity, for giving my siblings the choice. Some choose to stay and work for Endgame, some choose to leave... but at least, apart from those who died in battle as enemies, the rest are still alive."
