Chapter 489: Are you willing to make me king, follow me, and be loyal to me, whether rich or poor, h
Baron Carmak now lives in the center of the ruins of Sweet Town, in a well-preserved church)
There are a large number of churches in the alliance. Most of these churches are to take care of those people of Western Continental descent on the territory. Before the Penglai people migrated here across the ocean and spread a new belief, the Western Continental people's belief in the God of Light was deeply rooted, and the God of Light occupied more than 90% of the faith on the mainland...
Then because of the outbreak of the ** war, the church organizations in the Free Alliance also split from the Church of Light in the Holy Empire. The Alliance could not allow the Church of Light to continue to control its domestic faith. Even if the dominant people in this new kingdom have become Penglai people, in terms of population, the people in the Western Continent finally account for more than half.
Without the leadership of the Church of Light, the faith in the Free Alliance can be said to be a mess, but this is nothing wrong. Most believers simply have faith in the gods and no longer accept the command of the church. At the same time, although the churches in the territory are equipped with clergy, they have no privileges and are not qualified to interfere in government affairs. They are just serving people and maintain people's religious beliefs.
Although such a church also worships the God of Light, it is tantamount to the heretic cult in the eyes of many sacred imperial people. After the Imperial Team invaded the Alliance, it has always been a devastating blow to the churches in the territory without leaving any room for anything. Because most of the churches in the town are pious and built very strongly, they use solid stone mined in nearby mountains, which has been unshakable after a hundred years of wind and frost. Unfortunately, most of the collapsed under the ravages of the Imperial Team, and the remaining part is covered with traces of burning flames.
And the current leader of the town, Baron Carmack, took a nap in a cottage in the church that could shelter from the wind and rain.
As the leader of more than a thousand survivors in the town, Baron Carmack had not rested for a day and a night before, so he barely placed everyone in the ruins. After the situation stabilized, Lord Baron finally breathed a long breath and took a break on the cold bed. Unfortunately, he had not had time to sink into a deeper sleep, but he was awakened by the sound outside the door.
"Sir Baron, two very strange people have come."
Baron Carmak opened his eyes with some difficulty, his mind was still in chaos. The young baron rubbed his face hard to stimulate blood circulation on his face to speed up his awakening.
Strange people? At this time, this place?
Little Yuri's voice didn't sound panic. It means that the visitor should have no hostility, and that it can interrupt his rest at this time means that the visitor's identity may be extraordinary. Could it be...
Could it be reinforcements from the Central Province?
Thinking of this, Kamak couldn't help but be happy. In the past few months, they almost looked forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that reinforcements from the central government would come to rescue them. Although under Kamak's leadership, most of the civilians in nearby villages and towns were evacuated in time. However, this long migration was not easy, especially during the period of refuge in the southern swamp. It was simply a torture like a purgatory. Now that the war is over, everyone returns to their homes. It seems that everything is developing in the best direction, Kamak knows that things are not that simple.
Before the great retreat, in order to speed up the civilians nearby were lightly engaged. Despite the careful organization of Carmak, the food people carried was only enough for them to survive in the southern swamps. By the time they returned to their hometown, they were almost out of ammunition and food, and they were short of medical treatment and medicine.
The work of rebuilding his hometown requires a huge supply of materials. Now he can hardly imagine how to produce food for a thousand people and several months. The nearby fields and farms have long been destroyed by the imperial people, so that Kamak has begun to plan to mobilize the masses to pick wild fruits and eat tree bark and even Guanyin soil.
All these difficulties will be solved if they can receive support from the central province. Even the situation in surrounding villages and towns will be greatly alleviated. It is the best news, and Carmak cannot be unhappy.
However... thinking of another question, Carmak suddenly changed his face. If he came from the Central Province, it would be easy to find him, the Baron...
But, if you care about so many things, you can't just turn people out because of this, right?
"Hurry up and ask them... no, take me to see them!"
Baron Carmack said to Little Yuri at the door while wearing his coat neatly.
However, as soon as the words were finished, a young voice heard: "No need, we are here."
This time, even Yuri was surprised: "When did you..."
While talking, the door of Kamak's bedroom was pushed open. Wang Wu and Huayun walked in and happened to see Kamak's disheveled clothes and standing in place like petrification.
Wang Wu seemed to care about it at all, with a faint smile on his face. Hua Yun was a little helpless, but she followed Wang Wu tactfully, as if she was a competent female secretary.
"Sir Carmak, I'm sorry, I'm impatient, so I came to find you directly."
Carmak moved his body stiffly, opening his mouth, really not knowing what to say.
Wang Wu was sitting on the bench in front of his desk without any hesitation, and turned a cup of hot tea in his hand like magic, took a sip, and said, "You put on your clothes first, let's wait."
Kamak nodded mutely. The next moment he suddenly remembered something and stared at the exquisite porcelain cup in Wang Wu's hand.
Just now... this young man seemed to have taken out this tea cup out of thin air? There was still the best black tea in the cup? This technique is definitely not something that any magician can do, that is...
Senior Dream Builder? Thinking of this, Kamak was extremely grateful that although he did not have the talent of a Dream Builder, he finally had some knowledge. However, this young man seemed to be at most fifteen or sixteen years old, but he had already crossed the sky barrier? No, it was probably the result of a middle-aged man using dream builder to transform his appearance?
But no matter what, this also explains why only two people on the other side dare to come to a barren land like Tianshui Town, a high-level dream builder... There are only a few hundred people on the entire continent, and they are at the top of the pyramid of power. In peacetime, any advanced dream builder can become a legend on one side. Not to mention going to the border of the alliance, it is not uncommon even if you go deep into the southern swamp.
These two must be reinforcements from the Central Province, no doubt.
However, although he had been looking forward to this day for too long, when he saw it, Carmak didn't know what to say. He put on his clothes mechanically and then stood there stupidly, without the cleverness he had when he commanded tens of thousands of people to carry out a large evacuation.
Hua Yun couldn't help but speak and break the silence: "Baron Carmak?"
Kamak suddenly woke up: "Oh, oh, sorry, I haven't asked for the identities of both of you..."
Identity? Hua Yun sighed in her heart. It's okay for her to say that members of the Blue Blood Family are divided into titles and are considered counts. However, in today's alliance, the title system does not have much significance. The problem is that Wang Wu...
He said he was the supreme king, and he was afraid he would be scared to death. Thanks to the survivors on the ruins of Tianshui Town, most of whom were from the Western Continent, and there were very few Penglai people, so no one could see what the five-clawed golden dragon robe worn by Wang Wu meant, otherwise there would have been a riot long ago...
As a result, before Hua Yun could think of the wording, she saw Wang Wu put down the teacup and said carelessly: "I am the Supreme King, Wang Wu, and the next one is my mentor and private secretary Hua Yun."
"..." Carmack was stunned for a long time after hearing this.
Supreme King? What is that? Can it be eaten?
But is the beautiful lady next to her named Hua Yun? This name is Kamak, at least that surname is well-known and the leader of the alliance nobles! And such a prominent life experience and strong strength is actually the young man's personal secretary!?
Gently swallowing with some difficulty, Carmack asked, "So, are you here to provide rescue?"
After hearing this, Hua Yun nodded slightly, but saw Wang Wu shook his head gently at the same time.
Hua Yun simply wanted to vomit blood.
Wang Wu said very directly: "I'm here to accept my brother."
“…I’ll take my brother?”
"Yes, my younger brother, I just said that my identity is a noble king and the supreme king. I came here to accept my subjects and establish my kingdom, which is commonly known as the younger brother. Of course, as a king, I will also provide necessary protection for the people of the country."
"This..." Carmack was stunned, unable to believe his ears.
King? Supreme King? Where is the second-tier patient with this? The establishment of the Free Alliance was to overthrow the imperial rule of the Holy Empire. The eight blue blood families jointly established an alliance parliament. Although the title system is still preserved, it is still in name only. In this case, the king?
However, if the king is not a king, Kamak has no way to judge. At least the other party’s advanced dream builder should be true. Since that is the case, Kamak dared not be rude, so he asked tactfully: “This, I’m sorry, I’m ignorant, but this fact is a bit incredible. May I ask… do you have any proof?”
Proof? Of course Wang Wu did not, but he was calm and asked: "Carmak, what is there in this world that can prove a person's identity as a king? You should listen."
Carmack was stunned. How did he push the problem back to me?
Wang Wu said again: "In fact, there is no such proof at all. Whether it is the so-called jade seal or the sword of the king, those external objects are just symbols of royal power. Can a humble slave become a king if he gets the token of the king?"
Carmak shook his head.
"The so-called king is a title that must be recognized by others before it can take effect. The ancient sages of Penglai once said that the people are the most important, and the king is the least important, and this is the truth. Kamak, if you ask me for proof, then there is only one question that I can provide to you: Are you willing to regard me as king, follow me, be loyal to me, and become my loyal subject?"
Carmak nodded muffledly.
Wang Wu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good, that's right."
After saying that, he put away the dagger that was placed on Carmak's neck.rx
