Cheklav Line, inside the temporary castle of the Duke. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At night, the poignant moonlight sprinkled on this majestic defense line, as bright as jade, the surrounding silence, autumn and winter, the leaves fall in a row, yellow, red, green, mixed together, forming a different kind of beauty.

In the study, Li Jun was wearing a pajamas, holding a pen in his hand, and writing on a delicate piece of parchment.

Although the paper industry is now very developed and has produced batches of white paper, out of respect for the church, Li Jun chose a fine sheepskin to serve as paper, which can be regarded as a friendly stepping stone.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Judge, in the Lower Desert Gong Li Jun. Since the invasion of the abyss, the military and civilians of the Principality have fought bloodily in the northwest, paid extremely heavy sacrifices, and after a series of arduous efforts, they finally repelled the attack of the Burning Demon King, forcing the Flame Demon Legion to go south, and the consequences have caused the Bright Defense Line to bear a heavier burden, and many heroic soldiers and civilians have unfortunately died, here, I express my deep apologies and condolences......"

After writing a few pages of nonsense, Li Jun began to get to the point: "...... I know that the Cathedral of Gabion, at a time of life and death, is in dire need of a just, merciful, brave, and strong army...... But I am deeply helpless for your request for help, my army is resting in the northwest, and most of the brave men are hurrying to build the city wall to resist the sudden attack of the Fire Demon Legion, and the army that can be assigned is very limited. And because we have been alone in the desert for a long time, lack of resources, poor equipment, lack of food and medicine, the soldiers are hungry every day, and if we march for a long distance, it is difficult to ensure that the vast majority of the soldiers will successfully go south alive to participate in the war......"

A few hours later, Li Jun tied up nine pieces of parchment with nine gold threads, and then tied them to the legs of the nine winged birds, and let them fly in different directions to the Cathedral of Garbion.

......

Eight days later, the two winged birds made a dangerous journey and arrived safely in Gabion, while the remaining seven winged birds were either killed or wounded, either falling into the devil's food or silently licking their own wounds in a hidden place somewhere.

The chief of the ruling spread out the parchment, read it carefully, and suddenly let out a sneer.

"What did you say, sir?" asked a white-robed cardinal.

"It's the desert that is complaining to us, saying that the desert lacks resources, is not well assembled, lacks food and medicine, and the soldiers are starving and unable to march long distances......

"Pure nonsense!" exclaimed a general of the Faith Nation.

"The goddess is above, lying is the original sin of mankind! He is a powerful man in the Holy Realm, and he actually found such a reason to prevaricate the great commander. ”

"According to accurate research, the richest resource area in the Canaan world is the Northwest Desert, where there are iron, salt, magic stones, coal, special metal mines, etc., in addition to the scarcity of vegetation and the lack of herbs, it is simply a god-given treasure land!

The chief of the ruling looked relaxed, knocked on the parchment on the table, and said: "This desert prince is negotiating terms with us, what he means is that he intends to make the northwest independent." ”

"Independence?" everyone was stunned.

"Although the northwest is the territory of the Tulip Empire, since the invasion of the Abyss, almost all the territories of each empire have fallen into the hands of demons, even if the demons are expelled from the Canaan world in the future, a small imperial king, dare to fight for territory with the strong in the Holy Domain? A presiding judge said.

"It would be nice if this was the case, but from the letter from the Great Desert Prince, there was a vague meaning that he wanted to completely separate the northwest from the world, not subject to secular jurisdiction, and did not recognize theocratic rule. The chief of the ruling frowned slightly, and said in a flat voice.

"Could it be that he still wants to establish a kingdom of faith?" some people laughed, since the early years of the Common Era, there is only one god in the Canaan world that can be worshipped, that is, the goddess of light, even if it is a strong person in the holy realm, there are many devout believers in 'light'.

Looking at the plain face of the chief judge, everyone couldn't laugh out loud, and a pious priest couldn't help but say, "Is that desert prince really so bold that he dares to make a blasphemous move?"

"His Majesty the Pope once instructed the religious ruling, and studied the Great Desert Duke in detail, and found that he was an outlier at all, and the life record before the age of eighteen was completely blank! He was mediocre for more than ten years, and then he suddenly rose, like a star that fell from another universe to Canaan, and before the age of thirty, he became the Grand Duke of the Territories, and before the age of fifty, he had already traveled all over the world. The Chief Judge whispered.

"The Great Commander is suspicious, this Great Desert Duke is not a native human of the Canaan World at all?"

"It's not that I doubt it, but His Holiness the Pope doubts his true origin. The Grand Commander said.

Inside the command post, the atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Immediately, the chief of the ruling knocked on the parchment and said: "Promise him first, I will ask His Majesty the Pope to draw up an official document, affix the Pope's seal, and officially seal the northwest to the Desert Duke, and wait for the Church to free up its hands and use a certain name, such as "Secretly Hiding Heresy!" to form a Bright Expeditionary Army, conquer the Desert Duke, and recover the vast northwest region. ”

......

When the Pope finished reading the letter of the Grand Adjudicator, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a cold and playful smile.

"The believers are angry, the light is driving out the darkness, and victory will belong to the goddess, the Northwest Even...... It won't be the climate!"

"Draft, stamp! Seal the Emperor of the Desert Li Jun as the Emperor of the Northwest, give the Knight of Light Lord, and a golden badge of the goddess, and immediately send troops south to raid the demon's lair!" the Pope shouted.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!" an old servant in white promised.

......

"This Pope is still playing this trick with me. Li Jun sneered, he was willing to want the Northwest to be officially independent, and to inform the church in advance, but he didn't want to accept the so-called gift of the Pope and 'give' the Northwest to himself.

According to theocratic thinking, the world of Canaan belongs to the Church of Light, to the realm of the Goddess, and the earthly kings are only agents who govern the world for the church.

Li Jun hesitated a little, knocked on the handrail, and finally didn't bother with this matter.

Letting the northwest become independent and break away from the rule of theocracy is already a huge victory, from now on, the huge northwest will be Li Jun's private territory, if the Warcraft Forest is included in the territory, his territory area is equivalent to two-fifths of the Canaan continent.

"Tuo, get ready, tomorrow I will declare the founding of the country in the Chekcraft Line!" Li Jun exhaled lightly and said loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" shouted the veteran Thor on one knee, his face full of excitement.

The next day, the sun was shining, the maple leaves were covered with the streets and alleys, and the slightly cold air blew on the bodies of the 200,000 soldiers and civilians in the square, but they did not feel a trace of coldness.

All eyes were on Li Jun, 200,000 pairs of eyes, looking at Li Jun in unison, with anticipation, excitement, fanaticism, and hostility.

After decades of development, the new generation has grown up, and quickly took over the work of the older generation, all over the chamber of commerce, city halls, the army and other walks of life, they have a kind of blind worship of Li Jun, do not believe in light, do not believe in goddesses, according to the meaning of the words in the previous life, is an atheist - Li Jun does not proclaim himself a god, the premise.

"Dear Lords, this is my first speech in twenty years, and I am honored to meet you, and there are countless strange and friendly faces in the crowd compared to twenty years ago, and ...... There is a lot less familiar sound. When Li Jun said this, his voice suddenly became much lower, and the faces of the soldiers and civilians in the square suddenly showed a sentimental color.

“...... The arrival of the end did not destroy the people of the Desert Principality, your courageous will and fighting spirit, your fathers, teachers, brothers, friends...... In order to protect their homeland, they have paid great sacrifices, most of them, maybe they are unknown, maybe they were mediocre passers-by before, when disaster struck, they had fear, panic, and retreat, but when everyone stood at a fork in the road, how did they choose?

“...... The Principality has endured many ups and downs, and you and your forefathers have grown into a steadfast and loyal warrior after countless wars. Although the will of light exists, but the light is always the light, it also has no light, night and day alternate, not the law formulated by the gods, but the law of nature, the order given to this beautiful land, if the light is eternal, how can the devil step through the mountains and rivers and roll up a bloody storm?!"

In the crowd, there was a small commotion, this group of people were all new citizens, and the faith in light was deeply ingrained and could not be removed from the brain.

However, they wanted to refute, but they did not have the courage or sufficient reason to refute Li Jun.

Looking at the surrounding group of soldiers and officers who thought that everything Li Jun said was the truth, he was afraid that he would be beaten half to death by an old fist before he could open his mouth to refute.

Li Jun, it has really become a climate, 98% of the military and civilians of the principality regard him as a god, and the remaining 2% of the military and civilians are all new citizens, in the face of this vast torrent, no matter how high the new citizens' belief in light is, after all, there will be no big waves.

Over time, in three, five, or ten years, the faith in light will fade – imperceptibly forgotten.

——

On November 5, 4854, at two o'clock in the afternoon, after more than three hours of speech, Li Jun, the Duke of the Great Desert, officially declared the independence of the northwest, broke away from the theocracy, established the Warcraft Empire, and proclaimed himself the Demon Emperor.

Since the beginning of the Common Era, the Canaanite plane, which has a history of more than 4,000 years and a new civilization, has officially kicked off the era of the first "one world and two emperors"! )
