"Yes, Your Majesty. Li Jun said.

The Great Prince...... That is, the current Coro XVIII, suddenly fell into silence and thought.

He originally wanted to give Li Jun several cities on the eastern border as his principality territory and guard the border for the Koro Empire.

Li Jun's ability, Koro XVIII in this civil war, has fully seen that the Warcraft Legion under his command fought from the northwest to the south, invincible all the way, and hundreds of thousands of troops were disabled and crushed by him.

Although on the one hand, the troops in the northwest and south are empty, and the elite main forces, as well as heavy weapons, etc., have all been taken away by the eleventh prince to conquer the eldest prince, but, after all, this is one of the inland areas of the continental empire, and the only remaining troops are not something that anyone can fight against.

There were hundreds of thousands of serf rebels in the northwest, sometimes reaching one million, and countless peasants, slaves, and civilians exploited by the aristocracy helped from the side, so that this rebel army was like a fish in water, and it took several months to occupy most of the northwest, which was the result of the Northwest City Guards being crippled by Li Jun.

......

"The desert is vast and sparsely populated, and the environment is harsh, and it is not at all suitable for human habitation......" Corot XVIII said softly.

"Your Majesty, although the weather conditions in the desert are harsh, there are also many aborigines of the desert, and the relationship between the empire and the Aberon Empire in the north has not been very good, and after several months of war, the relationship is even worse to the lowest point, and your subordinates are willing to solve problems for Your Majesty, defend the northwest desert, and prevent that group of wolf-like people from invading our empire!" Li Jun shouted impassionedly.

When Koro XVIII heard this, he immediately burst into tears, and in addition to being secretly ashamed of some of his careful thoughts, his trust and attention to Li Jun improved at this moment.

"Good, good, good! Grand Duke Li Jun is really my loyal minister!" King Koro XVIII took Li Jun's arm and said sincerely: "Tonight, I will hold a banquet to congratulate you on your promotion to the position of Grand Duke, and also to wash the dust for your triumphant victory. ”

The officials in the hall were all surprised, the Emperor of the Empire personally held a banquet for a noble, and this nobleman was about to be canonized as the Grand Duke!

You must know that the Grand Duke has always been the ruler of every empire, the most vigilant and defensive figure.

They have a vast territory, tens of thousands of private soldiers, and a large amount of gold and silver treasures, which is secretly enough to train hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers!

How could such a grand grace and trust not shock the ministers and nobles?

Night, the banquet hall of the royal palace.

Li Jun sat in the first position on the left side of Koro XVIII, and there were only two people in the huge banquet hall.

"It's a pity, my father married Princess Tiran to you, and I have a fifteen-year-old daughter, otherwise I would have married you, the youngest daughter. Koro XVIII said with regret.

Li Jun laughed a few times, the royal people are really interesting, they are titles, rewards, and princesses.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Jun put down his knife and fork, took a champa, wiped his lips, and after a moment of silence, he said to King Koro XVIII: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has another request. ”

"Speak. "Koro XVIII said.

"Your Majesty, you must also know that the desert is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a serious shortage of labor, and your subordinates will definitely be ...... by this condition when they manage the desert territory in the future" Li Jun said for a moment, vaguely expressed.

Koro XVIII's face showed a little shame, and after coughing lightly, he said: "People, this problem is easy to solve, so I will make a decree and order 30,000 people to be transferred from various cities on the northwest border, exempt from taxes for five years, give a subsidy of two silver coins per month, and follow Grand Duke Li Jun to settle in the desert." ”

"No, no, no, your honorable majesty, there is no need to be so troublesome, the people of the northwest region have just experienced a turmoil and are in a panic period, and at this time let them stay away from their homes, I am afraid that it will cause new turmoil, in this case, even if your subordinates die, they will not have the face to face the promotion and knowledge of the previous king. Li Jun panicked.

The last of Koro XVIII's doubts quietly disappeared at this moment. He is not a stupid person, he was deceived by Li Jun in a few words, he is a very gentle and honest person by nature, although he is a little wilted, but for his own people, there is a sense of trust from the bottom of his heart, and he is tempted with some kind of shame in the process of temptation.

"But if you don't, how do you solve the problem of 'people'?" asked Koro XVIII, confused.

Li Jun smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, can you give the hundreds of thousands of captives of the serf rebel army to your subordinates?"

"Those rebels?" Koro XVIII thought for a moment, of course, it was impossible to kill all of the hundreds of thousands of prisoners, after all, many people were forcibly pulled into the ranks by the leaders of the serf rebels.

However, their sin of rebellion is still unforgivable, and although a group of people will eventually be released to return to their hometowns, many people are expected to be sent to the border to work or sit in prison.

"Well, just take this opportunity to let those rebellious people go to the desert to suffer, eat sand every day, and deter other restless people. Carrow XVIII muttered silently, and made a decision.

"Well, dear Grand Duke Li, I will give you those hundreds of thousands of prisoners. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

......

Early the next morning, under the attention of all the officials and nobles in the imperial capital, Li Jun was personally awarded the title of "Duke of the Desert" by King Koro XVIII!

The veritable King of the Desert was born, compared to the previous Wildfire and Rusif, Li Jun, the King of the Desert, not only has the effect of law, but also has the support of the entire royal family and the Koro Empire.

Many ministers and nobles, there is no lack of jealousy and envy, with Li Jun in his thirties, he has jumped from a commoner to a grand duke, and he is a living legend and inspirational textbook character!

Many civilians regard Li Jun as an idol in their hearts, on this day, more than a million people in the imperial capital are surrounded by the castle where Li Jun stays, watching Li Jun sit in the royal carriage, slowly drive out of the palace, arrived at the magnificent castle, this news, quickly spread throughout the country, and even the whole continent.

Li Jun...... Future First Minister!!

﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡

Returning to the imperial capital again, lying on the comfortable big bed in the magnificent castle, Li Jun was embarrassed.

Last time, he was driven out of the imperial capital in a gray way, sent to exile to the desert, met the sexy chick of Kamanda, and also befriended the old man Dera, Tuo and others, and also met one of the strongest opponents in his life, the former desert king Rusif.

After several years of fighting, Li Jun, Kamanda and Wildfire joined forces to defeat Rusif, and then, Rusif angrily killed dozens of ruling powerhouses of the Church of Light, promoted to the Bronze Realm, and ran to Edbele City, wanting to drag Li Jun to hell together.

That time, Li Jun's situation was really dangerous, if one was not good, he would be crushed by the terrifying bronze sword light, and it would be impossible for a single bone residue to be left.

Strength + resourcefulness, coupled with a little luck, has created Li Jun, a veritable desert prince and desert king.

This night, Li Jun was so drunk that he forcibly poured a few sips of whiskey into Xiao Jiu'er.

On Jiu'er's round little face, the two pinks on the cheeks were clearer, and even the tips of the ears were flushed with a slight flush.

Belch~~

Jiu'er hiccuped and glanced at Li Jun, an unscrupulous uncle, with resentment.

Li Jun lay on the big bed on all fours, snoring loudly.

Like a thief, Jiu'er secretly snatched the bottle of undrunk whiskey from Li Jun's hand, and after hesitating for a while, two little paws held the bottle of whiskey and poured it into his mouth.

When!

The wine bottle fell on the plush blanket, Jiu'er squinted her round eyes slightly, and fell into Li Jun's arms slowly.

Jiu'er arched in Li Jun's arms, changed into a comfortable position, and slowly fell asleep.

......

Two days later, the convoy from the Divine Light City drove into the imperial capital.

Koro XVIII sent a prince and a princess, as well as all the ministers, officials, and nobles of the various ministries to meet them at the gates of the city.

Li Jun wanted to slip away, but was rejected by Koro XVIII, saying: After the people from the church leave, you can return to the Northwest Desert, and during this period, wait for the adults who come from the church.

Li Jun had already learned a reliable piece of news, and the group of people in the church who had arrived in the imperial capital included the Holy Maiden Angela and the prospective Pope Kampysna Shikweiye Khan.

According to the principle that if others help themselves, they will also help them back, this time, Angela will ask Li Jun for something.

With that little girl's current status and power, she feels that troublesome and tricky things must not be a good thing, so Li Jun plans to slip away and avoid it.

Li Jun shrugged his face all day long, looking at no one who felt uncomfortable.

Khambina Shikweiye Khan is indeed a beautiful man, and he is not inferior to that drop of Demps.

With golden hair, sapphire eyes, a warm smile, a cordial conversation, and elegant manners, they walked through the streets of the imperial capital like a parade, causing the sharp and crazy cries of countless young girls, and countless clergy and devout believers knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes, and kept kowtowing.

And Angela's light was not overshadowed by the would-be pope, and many men boldly revealed their hearts, holding signs, flags, and so on......

The influence of the church is really getting deeper and deeper.

This kind of scene did not exist a few decades ago, before the current pope took office, and in just a few decades, after the current pope made great efforts to govern the country and drastic reforms, 98% of the human race in the whole continent are believers in light, and more than 70% are devout believers in the goddess of light!

Whoever antagonizes the Church is the enemy of humanity on the whole continent!(To be continued.) )
