Baron Carmack now lives in a fairly well-preserved church in the middle of the ruins of Sweetwater.)

There are a large number of churches in the alliance, most of these churches are to take care of those people of Western Continent descent in the territory, before the Penglai people migrated here and spread a new faith, the belief of the people of the Western Continent in the Light God has been deeply rooted, and the Light God occupies more than ninety percent of the faith in the mainland. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info.

Then because of the outbreak of the ** war, the church organization in the territory of the Free Alliance was also cut off from the Church of Light in the Holy Empire, and it was impossible for the Alliance to allow the Church of Light to continue to control the faith in the country, even if in this new country, the dominant position has become the Penglai people, but in terms of population, the people of the Western Continent finally account for more than half.

Without the leadership of the Church of Light, the faith in the Freedom Alliance can be said to be scattered, but there is nothing wrong with this, most believers simply have faith in the gods and no longer accept the direction of the church. At the same time, although the churches in the territory are staffed with clergy, they have no privileges in themselves, let alone the right to interfere in government affairs, but only serve as service personnel to maintain people's religious beliefs.

Such a church, although it is also worshipping the God of Light, but in the eyes of many people of the Holy Empire, it is tantamount to a heretical cult, after the emperor ** team invaded the alliance, it has always been a devastating blow to the churches in the territory, leaving no room for anything. The church in Sweetwater is built very well because most of the people in the town are religious, and it is made of solid stone quarried from the nearby mountains, which has survived the wind and frost for a hundred years. It's a pity that under the iron hooves of the emperor's ** team. More than half of it had collapsed, and the rest of it was covered with scorched marks of flames.

The town's current leader, Baron Carmack, took a nap in a sheltered hut in the church.

As the leader of more than a thousand survivors in the town. Baron Carmack had not rested for a day and a night before he had reluctantly settled the people in the ruins. When the situation stabilized, the Baron finally let out a sigh of relief and took a nap on the cold bed, but unfortunately he had not had time to sink into a deeper sleep when he was woken up by a sound outside the door.

"Lord Baron, there are two very strange people. ”

Baron Carmack opened his eyes with some difficulty, his mind still in chaos. The young baron rubbed his face vigorously, stimulating blood circulation in his face to hasten his return to consciousness.

Strange people? At this time, this place?

Little Yuri's voice didn't sound panicked. It shows that there should be no hostility towards the visitor, and allowing him to interrupt his rest at this time shows that the identity of the person who came may be extraordinary, could it be......

Could it be reinforcements from the central provinces?

Thinking of this, Carmack couldn't help but be overjoyed. In the past few months, they had been almost looking forward to the stars and the moon, expecting reinforcements from the central government to come and rescue them. Although under the leadership of Carmack, most of the civilians in the nearby villages and towns were evacuated in time. But this long migration was not easy, especially during the time when it took refuge in the swamps of the south. It's purgatory. Now that the war is over, everyone is returning home. It may seem like everything is going for the best, but Carmack knows it's not that simple.

Before the great retreat, in order to speed up, the nearby civilians were lightly armed, and despite the careful organization of the Carmack, the people carried only enough food to survive in the southern swamps, and by the time they returned to their homeland, they were almost exhausted and lacked medical care.

The work of rebuilding his hometown requires a huge supply of materials, and now he can hardly imagine how to make enough food to supply these thousand people for several months. The nearby fields and farms had long since been destroyed by the Imperials, so much so that Carmack had already begun to plan to mobilize the masses to pick wild fruits, gnaw tree bark, and even Guanyin soil.

All these difficulties will be easily solved if we can get the support of the central provinces. Even the situation in the surrounding villages and towns will be greatly eased, and it can be said that Carmack could not be more happy.

However...... Thinking of another question, Carmack's face suddenly changed, if he came from the Central Province, then it would be easy to find him as a baron......

However, no matter what it takes, you can't turn people away because of this little thing, right?

"Hurry up and ask them to ...... No, take me to meet them!"

Baron Carmack said to little Yuri at the door, dressed neatly.

However, as soon as the words fell, a young voice was heard: "No need, we are already here." ”

At this moment, even little Yuri was taken aback: "When did you ......?"

As he spoke, the door of Carmack's bedroom was pushed open, and Wang Wu and Hua Yun walked in, just in time to see Carmack's disheveled clothes and standing in place like petrified.

Wang Wu didn't seem to care about this, and a faint smile hung on his face. Hua Yun was a little helpless, but she followed behind Wang Wu with interest, as if she was a competent female secretary.

"Master Carmack, I'm sorry I'm in a hurry, so I'll come to you directly. ”

Carmack stiffened and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

And Wang Wu was already sitting unceremoniously on the bench in front of his desk, magically conjuring a cup of hot tea in his hand, taking a sip, and saying, "You get dressed first, we'll wait." ”

Camak nodded indifferently, and the next moment he suddenly remembered something, staring at the delicate porcelain cup in Wang Wu's hand.

Just now...... This young man seems to have figured out this teacup out of thin air, and there is still fine black tea in the cup, which is definitely not something that any magician can do, that is to say......

Thinking of this, Carmack was extremely glad that although he did not have the talent of a dream builder, he still had some knowledge. However, this young man looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and he has already crossed the heavenly barrier? No, it is probably the result of some middle-aged man using the Dream Building Technique to transform his appearance, right?

But in any case, this also explains why the other party only two people dare to come to a barren place like Sweetwater Town, a senior dream builder...... There are only a few hundred people on the entire continent, and they exist at the top of the pyramid of power. In peacetime, any high-level dream builder can become a legend, let alone go to the edge of the alliance, even if he goes deep into the southern swamps.

These two must have been reinforcements from the central provinces, there is no doubt about it.

However, although he had been looking forward to this day for too long, when he actually saw it, Carmack didn't know what to say, he mechanically got dressed, and then stood there stupidly, completely lacking the shrewdness he had used to command tens of thousands of people in the great evacuation.

Hua Yun couldn't help but open her mouth to break the silence: "Baron Carmack?"

Carmack suddenly woke up: "Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I haven't asked the two of you yet......"

Hua Yun sighed in her heart, she was okay to say, the members of the blue-blood family, divided according to the title, can be regarded as an earl, but in today's alliance, the title system does not have much significance. The problem lies with Wang Wu......

When he opened his mouth, he said that he was the supreme king, and he was afraid that he would scare people to death. Thanks to the survivors on the ruins of Sweetwater Town, most of them are from the Western Continent, and there are very few people from Penglai, so everyone didn't see what the five-clawed golden dragon robe worn by Wang Wu meant, otherwise there would have been a riot......

As a result, before Hua Yun had time to think of the wording, she saw Wang Wu put down the teacup and said with a big grin: "I am the supreme king, Wang Wu, and this is my mentor and private secretary Hua Yun next to me." ”

"......" Carmack was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

The Most High King, what is that, can you eat it?

But the beautiful lady next to her, is her name Hua Yun? This name is not unfamiliar to Carmack, at least that surname is like thunder, the head of the alliance nobles! And such a prominent and powerful woman is actually the private secretary of this young man!?

Swallowing a little hard, Carmack asked, "So, are you here to provide rescue?"

Hearing this, Hua Yun nodded slightly, but saw that at the same time, Wang Wu shook his head slightly.

Hua Yun almost wanted to vomit blood.

Wang Wu said very directly: "I'm here to collect my little brother." ”

“...... Accept the little brother?"

"Yes, take the little brother, as I said just now, my identity is a noble king, the supreme king, I am here to receive my subjects and establish my kingdom, which is commonly known as the little brother of Cheng. Of course, as a king, I will also provide the necessary protection for the people of the country. ”

"This ......" Carmack was dumbfounded, unable to believe his ears.

The establishment of the Freedom Alliance was to overthrow the imperial rule of the Holy Empire, and the eight blue-blooded families jointly established the Alliance Council, although the title system is still preserved, but it also exists in name only, in this case, the king?

However, the king is not the king, and Carmack has no way to judge, at least the other party's senior dream builder should be true, in this case, Carmack did not dare to be rude, so he asked euphemistically: "This, forgive me for being ignorant, but this matter is really a bit unbelievable, may I ask...... Do you have any proof?"

Of course, Wang Wu didn't have it, but he didn't hurry and asked, "Carmack, what is there in this world that can prove a person's status as a king?" ”

Carmack was stunned, how did he push the problem back to me?

Wang Wu also said: "In fact, there is no such proof at all, whether it is the so-called jade seal, or the sword of the king, that kind of foreign object is only a symbol of royal power, can a humble slave get the king's token, can he become a king?"

Carmack shook his head.

"The so-called king is a title that must be recognized by others before it can be valid. The sages of Penglai once said that the people are precious and the monarch is light, and this is the truth. Carmack, if you ask me for proof, then there is only one question I can offer you: Will you be willing to be my king, to follow me, to be loyal to me, to be my faithful subject?"

Carmack nodded nonchalantly.

Wang Wu smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, that's right." ”

With that, he put away the dagger that was around Carmack's neck. rx
