Chapter 439 The king is replaceable, but the leader is indispensable

The gray statue is always peaceful and solemn.

Whenever she encounters a difficult problem or faces a crucial choice, Maocao will always come to the statue of Yao to pray.

Here, she can find hard-won peace and tranquility.

In the past, Maocao was always full of expectations, hoping that Yao God would look at him, just like a soldier guarding the border waiting for the king's review.

But she also knew it.

That's almost impossible.

The gods wanted to illuminate so many worlds, and each world was so complex and changeable. God Yao was already very busy just taking care of these completely different worlds.

Even the gods closest to Yao, as well as those apostles who followed the gods early, rarely received the call and attention of the gods.

Not to mention an ordinary prophet like myself.

Maocao prayed in his heart.

Great God, please rest assured that I am still adhering to my mission and urging the civilization and kingdom here to advance.

Now I'm going to correct a mistake.

Outside the temple, the sun was shining brightly.

A whole team of skeleton knights are fighting bloody battles.

They rode skeleton horses, held swords and shields, and wore bone armor, and got into a meat-crushing battle with densely packed skeleton soldiers.

The leading hero Siddal carries a bone crossbow on his back and wears a wide-brimmed hat. He holds two broad-bladed bone swords and rushes left and right on the battlefield. The two swords chop into pieces the surrounding soldiers who dare to approach the temple.

The skeleton soldiers at the front are holding large shields and spears, stepping on the broken bones of their comrades to advance step by step, while the soldiers at the rear are holding longbows, ready to launch an overwhelming long-range offensive at any time.

When Maocao, wearing only a light robe, walked out of the temple gate, the two sides fighting outside couldn't help but freeze.

She stepped forward alone. The skeleton knights wanted to defend her, but she waved to stop them.

Wherever the cat grass reached, the skeleton soldiers couldn't help but retreat.

"soldiers."

Maocao looked around and said nothing for a while.

As if confirming something.

Then she continued: "Everyone should know that I am an outsider, coming from a faraway land."

"But I want this country to be prosperous and powerful more than anyone else, not for power or wealth, but because of faith. Because of my devout and firm belief in Yao God, as well as my ever-deepening love and responsibility for this land. ”

"This is my other hometown."

"I am here to see ignorant children grow into brave warriors, to see kingdoms and cities being opened up, I see hope and confidence rising in this country, and I see you fighting in hundreds of battles. Become indestructible.”

"Everything now does not happen out of thin air. We fight together, work together, deal with various disasters and difficulties together, grow rapidly under the pressure of the Twin Snake Empire, and now we can finally say no to them - whereas in the past, this It’s a power that even a king doesn’t have.”

"This is what we can do together, make a weak and young country strong and make every citizen proud of it."

She looked around and said in a tone that left no doubt: "The kingdom is ours and yours, but it will be yours in the end."

Maocao looked at the soldiers: "I know why you came, and I also know what orders you received... No matter what I have to face, please remember it."

"The only crime I have committed is to fearlessly protect this country!"

"Soldiers, who among you wants to kill your leader?"

"Then come on."

She opened her arms and showed no fear in her eyes.

The skeleton soldiers looked at each other, and no one dared to act rashly.

Finally, an enemy skeleton knight suddenly raised his sword and said, "Protect the leader, protect the kingdom!"

This sound broke the uneasy silence. The officers and soldiers cheered loudly one by one. The aggressive besieging army instantly became the staunchest supporters of the people in the center.

Maocao was not surprised by this, as this situation had already occurred once before.

However, this time there were more troops attacking the temple than before.

She looked at the soldiers: "The kingdom needs a new leader, a better king who can shoulder the responsibility and lead everyone forward. Now, let us remove the king."

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Depose the king, depose the king!"

Maocao walked towards the palace under the escort of the skeleton knights. Wherever she went, the soldiers turned to follow her. The mighty King Qin's army quickly surrounded the palace.

In the empty and lonely palace, the king wearing a golden crown sat on the throne.

His eyes flashed with unwilling and painful fire: "I am the king! I am the master of this kingdom! Why! Why! Soldier, soldier!"

The only thing that responded to him was his own echo in the palace.

"In the name of the Kingdom."

Mao Cao whispered: "King Chesak, you are deposed."

"I am the king! You have no right to depose me!"

Chesak roared angrily, waving the bone scepter in his hand: "The Kingdom's Temple Association has no right to depose the king of this country! In the name of the king, I find you guilty! Everyone in the entire Temple Association will be executed !”

"Soldier, soldier, catch her, catch her!"

"Soldier, soldier! Didn't you hear me? I'm your king! Didn't you hear me!"

Mao Cao doesn't speak.

The knights and soldiers behind also said nothing.

"Chesak."

Mao Cao slowly walked up the steps and looked at the poor man sitting on the throne who was shouting hoarsely: "The citizens elected you as the king because you have made great contributions in the army. You have excellent commanding skills and can also cooperate with the soldiers. Sharing the joys and sorrows together, he showed a convincing ability as a general stationed as mercenaries abroad..."

"But after you became the king, you were greedy for pleasure, passionate about power and war, and no longer cared about the plight of ordinary civilians. You are the worst king I have ever worked with."

"Your trial will begin immediately."

Mao Cao said to those behind him: "Go, knights, gather civilians from all walks of life to come to the temple to participate in the trial and discussion."

After a long trial, the Thousand-member Tribunal of the Temple Society completed the trial.

The trial held that King Chesak had embezzled a huge amount of money, killed a large number of civilians and innocent people, and used extremely cruel methods in an attempt to subvert the kingdom's power. In order to fight against political opponents, he killed or indirectly killed many loyal and innocent soldiers... The final verdict was given to King Chesak. The death penalty shall be executed immediately.

After his death, Chesak was buried in the [Skeleton King's Tomb]. He was also the second king to be executed in the past hundred years.

Five kings came to power in the Resurrection Kingdom during this century.

The first king, Theodore, who abdicated voluntarily does not count. The third king launched a coup after repeated failed attempts to assassinate, poison, and set fire to the temple and was executed by angry soldiers... The remaining three are all decent, They all abdicated voluntarily.

In the Resurrection Kingdom, the king has great power, but also great pressure.

Above are the two apostles, Theodore and Appia, and even higher up are the gods of this world.

The next step is to lead the kingdom to further develop and grow, expand city boundaries and labor capacity, increase population and occupations, and complete the transformation of the sleepless civilization from pursuing population quantity to quality.

There is also a temple supervisor next to it, so that the king can always be cautious about his words and deeds.

These are internal environmental pressures.

The external situation is even more complicated.

After the efforts of several generations of kings, the Resurrection Kingdom has gradually stabilized its foundation from a backward and weak small country in the past, and turned into a labor exporting country that exports mercenary groups and skilled workers.

This also brings into play the characteristics of the kingdom itself.

Although it is still despised by the Twin Snake Empire, the absolute core of the main civilization, the empire has also begun to hire skeleton soldiers, farmers, herdsmen and craftsmen from the Resurrection Kingdom.

As civilization continues to advance, the Resurrection Kingdom finally has real trade relations with the empire, and has obtained a large number of mature commodities, primary technologies, and some migrating professionals from the empire. The blending and learning of cultures are also proceeding subtly.

The only thing that never changes is the kingdom's unique temple council supervision system.

Imperial merchants and officials often lamented this.

"The Temple Society can actually override the royal power. The Resurrection Kingdom is really a weird country."

"Your temple association actually still believes in other gods... This is something that has never happened in other vassal civilizations. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"Is the secular ruler of the Resurrection Kingdom the king, or the leader of the Temple Council?"

To this, the citizens always replied proudly and without hesitation: "Of course it is the king who rules the kingdom, but our hero is the leader."

"The king is replaceable, but the leader is indispensable."

Mao Cao came to the Kingdom Temple - this place is only one street away from the Temple of the Temple Society, but the two represent completely different realms of gods.

She presented the latest candidate for king to the two apostles.

"A farmer, a craftsman? With these two professional backgrounds, they may have a better understanding of the real situation in the kingdom." Appia said with interest: "Will the final king election be completed in the temple meeting tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Which one do you think is better?"

Maocao said: "I am just a supervisor. No matter who the next king is, it is the people's choice."

"If you had listened to me and succeeded as king, you wouldn't have had to go to such trouble."

Theodore was still a little worried: "If it were you, the process of the kingdom would be more consistent and stable, without so many twists and turns."

In this regard, Maocao just said: "The mission given to me by Lord Yao is to supervise and correct. It cannot be exceeded. The Resurrection Kingdom will not lack outstanding kings."

"That's right." Theodore touched his beard: "Your one-hundred-year term has also expired. Do you want to consider staying here?"

"I follow the oracle of Lord Yao."

"Actually... I'll tell you the truth. Appiya and I have asked the God of Martyrdom together, so that the God can ask the great messenger to allow you to stay here for a long time."

Theodore said: "This is also in line with the interests of the gods. Lord Yao needs to ensure the development of the civilization of the Sleepless Ones. The gods feel more at ease when you are here, and you can also spread Lord Yao's faith."

"On our side, the kingdom and civilization can further and rapidly grow. Both Lord Martyr and Lord Messenger are happy to see this happen. Nothing else is important. Only the increase in population and the further growth of faith are the real things. "

Mao Cao knew it well.

These words are actually the attitude of martyrs and messengers of gods. If the gods did not agree, the two apostles would not dare to speak like this.

Theodore and Appia have made many insinuations, making various promises and statements, just hoping that Mao Cao can stay. Although it is not convenient for the martyrs behind them to contact Maocao directly, they have already expressed their position through their apostles.

Suddenly, Maocao felt a majestic force pouring into his body.

The power of Lord Yao!

She immediately sat down on her knees.

After listening to the oracle, Maocao looked stunned.

After a while.

Maocao looked to the side.

Theodore and Appia had dull faces, as if they had heard some extremely surprising news.

Of course.

It is an incredible thing for two extremely powerful gods to work together to create a new world.

Maocao received the recognition and gift from Lord Yao and officially became the twelfth apostle. From then on, she was finally able to directly receive the oracle from Yao.

She will continue to sit in the Resurrection Kingdom as a long-term overseer of the entire civilization.

The god Yao and the messenger formally reached an agreement to jointly march and develop a new world.

The Resurrection Kingdom will serve as the frontline and logistics side of this operation, providing manpower, materials and other support. The Twin Snakes Empire will also send various necessary supplies for this purpose.

The rules of the new world are strange. Only the entry of undead races such as the Bone Ancestors or Ghosts will prevent active attacks from the terrifying monsters inside.

Moreover, entrants cannot yet have belief in gods. To ensure the loyalty of those who enter, one must rely on means other than the fire of faith—that is, the gestation and identity of civilization itself.

The real challenge is about to begin.

The Yao tribe also sent an assistant to assist her, who was already on the way.
