Chapter 775: After the Gods of Domination of Southern Xinjiang (Beginning) Disappear
The youngest of the generation that experienced the Apocalypse War and fought with demons was already in their thirties and forties, and as those colonists who were at the end of the Apocalypse War, the most famous was undoubtedly the Night Demon Slayer, Slade Zhongming.
This Slade Zhong Ming's ancestors are from the Slade Ruiying poor people, there is no surname, after immigrating to the inland, they take their hometown as their surname, so they are called "Slade", and Zhong Ming is one of the most common names in the inland areas of the southern Xinjiang mainland, five out of ten inland people will be called Zhong Ming, if it is in the colony of Xibo, then there are more Zhong Ming.
If it is inland, this kind of "lowly blood" people are not to mention being officials, and they can't even enter the noble mansion, but in the inland, coupled with the title of "Night Demon Slayer", Zhong Ming is not only admired by 10,000 people, but even can enter the governor's palace without notification and discuss important matters with the governor.
Zhong Ming was born in a year that the residents of the land of a thousand lakes will remember, the year 2856 of the calendar, this year is the year of the "Great Disaster of the Land of a Thousand Lakes", so Zhong Ming does not belong to the top group of demon hunters in the era of the Apocalypse War, and even before Zhong Ming became an adult, the Apocalypse War was declared over.
Although the Apocalypse War officially ended when Zhong Ming was 6 years old, and the top demon hunters who were active in the era of the Apocalypse War are gradually aging, the shadow of the demons has not completely withdrawn from the Southern Continent, and there are still many demons who have not returned to the abyss wandering around, constantly attacking colonists everywhere.
Therefore, after the end of the Apocalypse War, the demon hunter did not declare the end but continued to continue, but the momentum was not as good as before, and in this era of demon hunters withering, if you want to promote the strongest demon hunter, then Zhong Ming is a well-deserved person to carry the banner.
Zhong Ming's ability to become famous in the era of demon hunters is inseparable from his title, that is, "Night Demon Slayer", and it is because of this that Zhong Ming became famous.
As the demons are gradually exterminated, the number of demons in various places is getting less and less, but there is one exception, that is, the Great Desert area, although the night demons here are also constantly being eliminated, but the number and frequency of appearance have always maintained a certain range, causing disasters around the Great Desert.
At this time, Navarre IV, the governor of the province of Sibber Parson, searched for historical materials from the past and keenly put forward a conjecture on this question: could it be that the "Mother Nightkin Body" that Morgan Le Fay tried to eliminate but caused her fall still exists, so she is still making new Nightkin all the time?
In response to this conjecture, Navarre IV issued the highest level of reward, inviting warriors who could solve the problem to help him. So many demon hunters who were unwilling to be lonely and wanted to be famous accepted the bounty and stepped into the vast desert, only to be gone nine times out of ten, and the few who came back got nothing but sand and scars.
After all, the Great Desert at this time is no longer the Great Desert of the past, and there were many oases in the Great Desert before Freiperira, although the barbarian attitude in the oasis is not friendly, but as long as you are alert, you can still find a way out.
However, since Freiperira's large-scale desertification destroyed the only remaining oasis, it is even more difficult to find supplies in the desert, and in addition to facing the attacks of monsters and nightcrawlers, it is necessary to find the existence of the mother body and destroy it after overcoming these.
However, such a dangerous task was still accomplished, and that was the demon hunter who stood before Navarre IV at this time, and was known as the most outstanding existence in the age of demon hunters, Slade Zhongming.
In 2888, the 32-year-old Zhong Ming completed what is claimed to be the most difficult commission ever opened to demon hunters, successfully breaking into the endless desert and bringing back the head of the mother of the Nightkin, which marked the decline of the demons around the desert as well.
However, 9 years have passed since this incident, and this Zhong Ming is already 41 years old, entering the stage of his extraordinary legendary strength.
Therefore, Zhong Ming, who is in the prime of life, is now ambitious to participate in the political struggle, trying to make himself, a person born with lowly blood, not only in the colony, but also in the homeland, as he is now, step into the aristocratic mansion as a guest and accept courtesy as a guest.
At this time, gathered around Governor Navarre of Parson, including Zhong Ming, are all cronies cultivated by Navarre IV for more than ten years, and they are also his most reliable team, and what Navarre IV wants to do now is to rely on this team to do something that is disagreeable to the world.
Navarre IV is the son of the nineteenth President of the United States, Seventi II, but because of the confusing "Dorfan assassination", he missed the presidency, and Navarre IV is still unwilling to this day.
Recall that in 2881, when his father, Savanti II, was in poor health and had to choose an official presidential successor, the two most contenders for the Sibber presidency were the two sons of Seventi II, Navarre IV and his brother Dofan.
Over the past few hundred years, Sibber has developed an unwritten but customary practice on the issue of succession, that is, the successor President of the United States of Siber must have a resume as the current governor of Phoebe Bo, and in most cases, it is usually the President of Siber who declares his successor before his death, and then the current President of Siber Bo sets off from Phoebe and arrives at Batiros to succeed him.
But by Navarre's generation, Siber's succession went wrong, that is, the "Dorfan assassination" that Navarra still remembers to this day.
The first to be chosen by the Parsons as their heir was Navarre, the oldest and most powerful, so the 38-year-old Navarre was appointed to become the superintendent of Phoebe in 2875, as mentioned earlier, this is an unwritten but customary successor practice for Siber.
However, after Navarre went to Fibibo, in just 3 years, Battiros changed dramatically, and all the bad news that came to Fibibo was not as good as Navarre's uncle's loss of power, and his brother-in-law was arrested, etc., resulting in the loss of Navarre's tentacles over the capital.
In addition, during Navarre's 3 years in the supervision of Phoebe Bo, the economic situation of the entire southern Xinjiang continent was not good, so Navarre did not have any outstanding performance, but because of this, it became an excuse to be attacked by political enemies, and in the end, even Navarre himself was involved in the rebellion case and had to go back for investigation.
The results of the final investigation confirmed that Navarre was not suspected of rebellion, but this series of changes made Seventi II bored with Navarre, so Navarre was "transferred" to the province of Parson as governor, and Phoebe Bo was overseen by Navarre's brother Dofan.
Navarre decided that all of this was the work of Dofan, so he regained his strength after being exiled to the province of Parson and tried to fight back, but before he could make any strong response, his father Sevinti II died in 2881, leaving Navarre too late to stop it.
However, before Navarra could think of a countermeasure, there was even more earth-shattering news on the road, Navarra's younger brother Dofan was assassinated and unfortunately died while passing through Hado, which is the "Dovarre Assassination Case".
Now that Dofan has been assassinated, Navarra is wiped away from his fake tears, and then excitedly takes a few retinues from First Parson to Batiros, because in Navarra's opinion, since Dofan is dead, then he should be a worthy heir.
However, Navarre's plan failed, because a certain black hand threw the mastermind of the "Dofan Assassination" on Navarre's head, and actually found a lot of irrefutable political situations, proving that Navarra had a lot to do with Dofan's assassination.
Whenever he thought of this, Navarra felt a stomachache, and then he was extremely "religious" to hope that the gods would still be like when he was younger, and not like he is now, otherwise the case of the assassination of Dofan would not have happened.
I remember that the year before Navarre was ordered to oversee the country, the "Metatron Rebellion" occurred in the divine realm, and the angelic legions rebelled against the gods, completely disrupting the pattern of the entire world.
It is said that some gods were unwilling to give up their faith in the world and chose to descend to earth, but at that time, none of the gods of other continents, at least among the gods believed in the southern Xinjiang continent, chose to descend to earth.
Since then, due to the control of the Angel Legion in the gap, the contact between the gods and the countries of southern Xinjiang has been cold, and the long-term memories of the old man such as the Apocalypse Announcement have completely become memories in the history books, and they have never appeared in front of mortals together with the divine envoys.
With the shrinking power of the gods, the momentum of the altar is not as vast as in the past, and the people at the bottom are ignorant, but Navarre, these high-level people know, and the first thing that the high-level priests have trained is to be told that now the gods can't send an envoy to support you, and you'd better clamp your tail and be a man, otherwise you will be killed and pulled down.
Navarre didn't care about the priest's miserable situation, and what made Navarra grit his teeth the most was that if the divine realm could still be freely connected with the southern Xinjiang continent, who wouldn't dare to assassinate the heir of a country in such a way? In the past, you only needed to pray to the gods to get the truth, but now after the gods ignore it, they are basically blind.
In short, Navarre was splashed with dirty water by the "Assassination of Dofan", and as a result, the presidential seat close to his fingertips was actually missed by himself, but a side family also named Dofan stirred up trouble in it, and finally replaced himself as Dofan VI.
It has been 18 years since this happened, and Navarra IV has been the governor of Parson Province for 21 years, which is the longest reigning governor since the establishment of Parson Province, and 20 years is enough time for Navarra to run Parson Province into his own private kingdom.
After Dovarre VI succeeded to the throne, in order to express his condolences for Navarre's misfortune, he ignored Navarre IV's move to secede the province of Parson, but Navarre IV did not appreciate it at all, in his opinion, the presidential seat should be his own, and even his younger brother Dofan may have been assassinated by order of this Dovarre VI.
But perhaps because of God's protection, after 18 years of waiting, Navarre IV waited for a new opportunity, and Dofan VI, who was only 4 years older than him, had come to the end of his life, and although he was 62 years old, he still felt energetic and wanted to compete for the presidency.
Therefore, the ambitious Navarre IV wanted to do something that had not happened to Siber so far, that is, to abandon the parliament and march to Batiros by army before Dofan VI entered Batiros, so as to make himself the new president of Siber by force! At this time, the cronies were called to the residence of Navarre IV to discuss this matter.
