The original lords of the islands had either died in battle or surrendered. After Ronglin reclaimed the islands, he had no choice but to consider assigning new people to govern them.
At that moment, Ronglin suddenly realized that he lacked talent in that area. He had plenty of people under his command who could fight and kill, but very few capable of governing and managing a country.
Ronglin sought the opinions of several people. He even asked Burgess whether he was interested in becoming an island lord or king, but Burgess refused on the spot.
Most of them believed that leading some men into battle and slaughter came naturally to them. But if they were asked to manage a kingdom or island, it probably would not take even a month before the entire island turned into a den of bandits and thieves.
Left with no alternative, Ronglin could only contact Jinbe and have him discuss the matter with the king of the Ashil Kingdom, beginning to vigorously cultivate talents in that field. Even though they were only just starting, this was all they could do for now.
After enduring the ravages of war, the people were moved to tears when they saw Ronglin reclaim the islands. They realized that there was no ruler in the world as kind and generous as Ronglin.
Ronglin also gave a few speeches—the scripts had been written by Caesar. Rumor had it that Caesar had disgusted himself so badly while writing them that he vomited. But this was work Ronglin had forced on him, so Caesar could only endure it, writing while vomiting...
On the day of Ronglin's speech, the footage was broadcast through Image Bugs to every island within the Star Alliance's territory. Some islands in nearby countries also watched the live broadcast.
