I'm really sorry I forgot my time last night and was more than an hour late

————————

It was sunny and cloudless, and it was a nice sunny day. "Bang bang—" Shadow Island was filled with cannon salutes. After a period of public deliberation, the Shadowland Organization finally chose a date for the founding of the country.

On this day, all the pirates organized by Shadow Island gather on Shadow Island. Of course, it is not possible that all pirates have gathered on Shadow Island, although Shadow Island is a relatively large island, but there are obviously more pirates who are trying to survive in the northern and eastern seas of Ezlaze.

Each of the pirates sent as many as a dozen or as few as one or two warships to the Shadow Island to watch the ceremony, depending on their size. Even some chambers of commerce and even small countries along the coast that are inextricably linked to the Shadow Isle Organization have sent emissaries to attend the pirates' founding ceremony.

There weren't many elaborate ceremonies—no pirates of noble birth could not have done so much red tape—and after a brief remembrance of the "martyrs," Yorick stepped up to the top of the platform to proclaim the kingdom.

As soon as Yorick appeared on the high platform, the noisy crowd gradually fell silent. Yorick looked down at the crowd, looking forward to it, and there was an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. How could I have thought that I would become a king half a year ago?

Without making everyone wait long, Yorick made a solemn announcement. Under Yu Fei's unremitting cultivation, Yorick also had the strength of the firmament level at this time, and his deep voice spread throughout the entire Shadow Island under the backdrop of his own fighting spirit - "In the name of the Pirate King, I, Yorick, announce that the Shadow Kingdom has been established!" ”

"Wow—" Yorick said. The whole island was filled with cheers and applause. The Shadow Kingdom is the name of the original Shadow Isle Council after deliberation. Originally, everyone was going to use the simple and straightforward "Pirate Kingdom" as the name of the country. However, considering that after all, to become a full-fledged country, image is very important. At Yorick's suggestion, the Shadow Kingdom was adopted as the name of the country.

After the proclamation of the kingdom by the new king Yoric, it was the highlight of the whole ceremony, and it was also the part that the crowd at the bottom was most concerned about. This is, the law of the Shadow Kingdom. The power divided in the law is what concerns the vital interests of every pirate, and the Shadow Kingdom is just a symbol of unity.

The oldest councillors of the Shadow Island Order came to power. The laws of the Shadow Kingdom began to be read.

"1. The Shadow Kingdom is a 'permanent federation'. At the beginning of its establishment, it was divided into 34 states, each of which enjoyed a certain degree of civil autonomy, while military, diplomatic, and legislative powers were all vested in the kingdom. The states had some autonomy in trade, but they were subject to Kingdom rules. ”

"2. Yorick, the former Speaker of the Shadow Isle Organization and the Pirate King, became the first king of the Shadow Kingdom and the co-ruler of all the states in the kingdom. The king had the power to divide new states and appoint officials of the kingdom; It has the authority to sign and promulgate the laws of the Kingdom and to supervise the implementation of the laws. ”

"3. The army of the kingdom shall be commanded by the king, and the officers shall be appointed by the king from among the states. The Federal Assembly and the Popular Assembly were not allowed to intervene in foreign wars waged by the king. ”

"4. The Federal Assembly and the Popular Assembly are legislative bodies exercising legislative power. The Federal Assembly is made up of the administrators of the states of the Kingdom, and the Popular Assembly is made up of the popular representatives of the states, which have the power to introduce bills and exercise the power of budget review. However, legislation in the Popular Assembly must be approved by a majority of the Federal Assembly. ”

"5. The King is subject to the supervision of the Federal Assembly and the Popular Assembly. The majority of bills passed by the two associations have the right of veto once, and bills in the military field have absolute veto power. ”

"6. When there is a threat to the public peace in the territory of the Federation or when there is a need to threaten the public peace of another State. The king can declare a state of war in a certain area. The king had the right to issue decrees of total war, and the king enjoyed the supreme power of the kingdom during the period when the decrees were enforced. ”

"7. The king represents the kingdom internationally and has the right to declare war and peace in the name of the kingdom."

"As the supreme constitution of the Shadow Kingdom, the above seven articles will be inscribed on the stone pillar of the Pirate Code to show the authority of the kingdom."

In addition to this all-important constitution, several veteran pirate leaders have read out the Shadow Kingdom's civil laws, trade laws, and so on. In these laws, the territories and powers of the states were clearly demarcated, and the future manner of existence of the kingdom was stated. However, to everyone's surprise, these laws do not clearly delineate the entire territory of the Shadow Kingdom.

Needless to say, things like the so-called constitution of the Shadow Kingdom were naturally made up by Yu Fei. In the Night Empire, all the Night Elves regard Yu Fei as their father, so naturally they don't need any power distribution, just leave it to the heroes.

The native elves attached to Yu Fei have their own management methods, and Yu Fei doesn't pay much attention to their strength, so he doesn't bother much to manage them. Anyway, the elves' belief in the World Tree is unchanged, as long as they are obedient.

However, the management method of the former Shadow Island organization and the current Shadow Kingdom that was secretly controlled made Yu Fei think a lot.

Although Yu Fei can mentally control many people, it is naturally impossible to control all of the countless pirates in the Shadow Kingdom. To be honest, now Yu Fei feels very annoyed just by controlling a few veteran pirate councilors, and his thoughts are divided into several parts, although he can freely choose whether to receive the sensory information of the controlled person, but it still makes Yu Fei feel a little dizzy from time to time.

Since the pirates can't be completely subordinated to themselves like the Night Elves, it is better to use the system so that they can use it for themselves and obey the puppets they control.

Speaking of which, the establishment of the Shadow Kingdom still has more advantages than disadvantages for ordinary pirates. After the Shadow Island Organization is upgraded to a kingdom, most of the warships will be incorporated into the kingdom's army, and pirates who do not want to live a life of swords and blood can choose to become a normal commoner of the kingdom and live a stable life in their respective states.

Although it is not like the general land on land, the area of large and small islands in the sea area under the jurisdiction of the Shadow Kingdom is actually more than that of ordinary kingdoms. With a fleet of ships carrying supplies, pirates who returned to the field were able to live the same or happier lives as the citizens of land countries.

When he was on Earth, Yu Fei was just an ordinary student, where would he have the opportunity to participate in politics and even establish a kingdom form and law? In the Shadow Kingdom under his control, Yu Fei used his ingenuity and combined what he learned in history and politics class to come up with a set of laws to maintain Yorick's rule.

In the constitution of the Shadow Kingdom, the first article clarifies the power of the states and kingdoms, and clearly stipulates that the military and diplomatic powers are vested in the kingdom, which is equivalent to Yorick. Then, with the exception of Article 4, the power of the king was emphasized, especially in military affairs. This is, of course, for the purpose of the Shadow Kingdom to respond to the call of the Night Empire and wage war against human nations in the future.

These seven constitutions are inscribed on the stone pillars of the pirate code in the center of Shadowland, and become the basic laws of the kingdom. Unless the Shadow Kingdom falls, Yorik will henceforth become the co-master of thousands of pirates, the true and only king of pirates in the realm of Eslaze.

After the laws of the kingdom had been promulgated one by one, the members of the Federal Assembly and the Popular Assembly, who had been elected within a few days, also went through the motions, and the representatives of the two parliaments made speeches. Whenever a state councillor appears, the attendees in his state cheer.

All pirates felt that such a management system was the best; Our king was able to propose such a form of state, which is really a rare monarch in the history of Eslaze! The atmosphere on the Isle of Shadows suddenly turned to praise and support for the new King Yorick.

Naturally, this kind of atmosphere cannot be normal. Although Yorick has increased his reputation through various means, he has only been in power for a few months, and it is impossible for him to be embraced by all pirates. The current Shadow Island is actually shrouded in Yu Fei's spiritual domain, and everyone's subconscious is affected by Yu Fei, and they tend to support Yorick and the kingdom.
