On the day of the inauguration speech, flags fluttered and crowds surged inside and outside Lipei City. Dignitaries from all countries and sectors, as well as people from villages and towns surrounding Lipei, gathered at the outer city square, eager to see the demeanor of the new leader of Lipei.
To ensure security, all of Lipei's military forces were mobilized to guard strictly against any surprises.
Numerous mercenaries, vetted stringently, were recruited en masse, quickly trained in weaponry, then armed and deployed into the security system, responsible for the outermost guard duties.
The largest square in the outer city of Lipei, capable of holding up to fifty thousand people for a gathering, became the main venue for Luo'er's inauguration speech.
A high platform was erected on the square, as workers hurried about assembling metal frameworks and laying a red carpet. What made them uneasy were the fully armed soldiers patrolling nearby.
