Chapter 131: Sitting on the shore and watching the fire
"The Grand Duke of Borg has been stabbed to death!"
"Seven Apostle Assassins!"
"Conrad, the former chief of the guard of Patlem, is the Seven Apostles!"
"Patlem is inaugurated as the Grand Duke of the New Manyu Army!"
"Clifford accepts the reward and pledges allegiance to Patlym!"
"Angie Bena accepts the reward and pledges allegiance to Patalem!"
"Philip has ignored Patalem's invitation and has led the golden camel back to his barony!"
"A large number of minor nobles went to Baron Philip's fiefdom and swore allegiance to him!"
"Most of the lords and nobles of the Manyu Army did not attend the coronation of the new Grand Duke of Patlem!"
The slave rebels led by Starbuck and Dicron turned around and headed east, seemingly intending to avoid the golden camel heavy horsemen led by Philip. β
Although the Sean people are in the Jacob Military State, the condition of the Manyu military leader will be on his desk in less than three days.
The Hawkeye Secret Service has already begun to make a difference.
Meticulous, spy, spy, espionage.
No matter how the name changes, the nature is almost the same.
This unique profession will exist in any war-prone world, and any strength with a little foundation will support a group of special people, such an organization led by Clifford, the head of the Archduke's personal guard.
The biggest, the best, and the most famous is the Sword of Holy Aether of the Holy See.
In the fight against warlock witches, the most important thing is not how to kill them, but how to find them, after all, they do not actively expose their magic abilities, and they are no different from ordinary people.
Fortunately, the Sword of the Holy Aether has a large congregation as a base, and their reports are a very important source of information.
Compared with the Sword of the Holy Aether, the Eagle Eye Secret Service is more professional, both in terms of its own functional positioning and personnel training.
The Hawkeye Secret Service, a new organization that has just been established for less than a year, wants to throw off other counterparts in the Ashane continent by eight streets.
When it comes to credit, the biggest one is not Sean, he accounts for 30% at most, and the other members account for 20%, but the real leader is the current head of the Hawkeye secret service, Ralph, who has the reputation of Eagle Brain.
Although many things in the Hawkeye secret service, such as self-positioning, upper and lower lines, single and double line contacts, yin charm passwords, etc., are all from Sean's hands, although Sean has no experience in this area, he can't withstand the edification of various spy war dramas, useful and useless, and the ones that have been artistically processed are still brain-opening, and all of them are pulled out in one go.
In the spirit of experimentation, whether it is useful or not, you will know if you try it.
The cruel reality tells Sean that most of the things that have been processed by art and brain holes are unreliable, and many of them cannot be appropriated in reality, but the enlightening and guiding significance is still very obvious.
However, Sean can't put too much energy into this, no matter how good the ideas and policies are, if he doesn't have a perfect executor, it will be in vain.
No matter how strong a person's ability is, even if he has an unforgettable memory, the inhuman physical quality of a champion knight is still relatively limited, and Sean has already learned this truth in his previous life.
After coming to this world, I felt more deeply.
What's the use of having more stuff in his head?
Can he build a train and an airplane by himself?
Not to mention trains and planes, even if it is a tire, he can't handle it.
From that time on, Sean realized a truth, if you want to change a world, it is not what you directly bring to the world, but how many people you have changed.
At this point, he can't say that he has done a good job, at least he has already started to produce results, and it is the season of the first harvest.
Ralph, who was originally not very favored by Sean, is now one of the most brilliant people, even a few points better than Marshall, whom Sean is committed to cultivating.
Compared with Marshall, Ralph has a clearer positioning for himself, and is more aware of his pursuits and goals, from the beginning, he has worked hard towards this goal, compared to Marshall, who has been pushed by Sean, he naturally walks faster and more steadily.
It is because of Ralph's presence that many of Sean's ideas can be translated into reality.
No, rather, Ralph sometimes thinks better and more well-rounded than Sean, after all, Sean is only half-baked in this regard.
Ralph is indeed very talented, in less than two years, he has put up the shelves of the Hawkeye secret service, and has successively cultivated more than a dozen batches of Hawkeye and scattered them to the Byron Alliance.
Their neighbor, the Manyu military leader, is naturally the main target of their infiltration, half of Hawkeye is scattered here, as for the surveillance from those lords and nobles, it is not worth mentioning to the specially trained Hawkeye, they just go to other territories and flick their tails behind them.
To be able to stand out from thousands of people and be selected by Ralph to become Hawkeye, in addition to good skills, personal adaptability and knowledge will not be too bad.
After they hibernated, their cover identities were strange, the attendants and retinues were the most unpopular, the innkeepers and merchants belonged to the improvisation, and some even mixed into the slave rebel army, mixed with a small officer.
"There are many suspicions!" Ralph raised his eyebrows and said, "Archduke Borg is already a mortal man, but he will die early and late, and the people of the Seven Apostles are full enough to assassinate him?"
"That eggless guy in Patlem is taking everyone for a fool. McGee sneered while picking at the gap between his teeth, "Hell it if he's in such a hurry to get on the throne, there's no problem inside!, but this time, he's only afraid that he will talk to himself, except for Tang's good friend, I'm afraid that no one will support him." β
"Again, it was a student of my mother's sister and had nothing to do with me. Sean glared angrily at McGee the Skullcrusher, "We're a military meeting now, please pay attention, Your Excellency Adjutant McGee." β
"Got it! got it!" McGee the Skullcrusher still looks like a hippie smile.
"Even if it's a military meeting, there's no need to be so blunt about the atmosphere, as for your good friend, people don't even blink an eye to give it to you, you are embarrassed to say that it is an ordinary friend? If your little girlfriend hears it, what a sad thing? What's more, we are all big men, what is there to be shy? You have also reached the age of looking for your mother-in-law! I heard that the little girl is good, although she has half of the blood of outsiders, but her heart is still towards our mountains, and it is not impossible to consider it, I heard that the lady has always raised her as a daughter-in-law. β
McGee is the most fearless person in Jacob Jiang's military state, and he is the only one who dares to make fun of him.
In the past two years, I have been mixed with Sean and them, and I was forced to take cram classes, and I didn't learn much knowledge, but I practiced very well, but I didn't need to be in a serious place.
It's not that McGee doesn't respect Sean, on the contrary, his respect for Sean is from the heart, otherwise, he wouldn't let his free city lord do nothing, and he is willing to take the Skull Crusher Legion to become a subordinate of the Eternal Night Legion.
The Walled City Alliance didn't miss his idea, and even opened it, as long as McKeken brought the Skull Crusher Legion over, he could give up the position of the leader of the alliance.
But McGee didn't wait for the Courier to finish his sentence before crushing his head.
Others are a little rough and naΓ―ve, but they are not stupid, and they know very well that it is not he who has made Sean, but Sean who has made him.
Only in the large collective of the Legion of the Eternal Night will you feel the breath of prosperity, a feeling that you have never experienced before, McGee will be kicked in the head by a donkey, and will join the Walled City Alliance, which has no future no matter how you look at it.
The black smoke miasma inside, even if it is dozens of miles away, he can smell it, and there is a force like Clayton the scavenger stirring up, it is strange that it can be good.
I like to make fun of people, it's purely a mouth, but I know that he is straight, and there is no crooked heart, and the skin is thick, and it doesn't hurt or itch to smoke him with two sticks, and sometimes it's helpless to take him.
"Don't mention it, we're still friends. Sean's face was as black as the bottom of the pot.
He also learned about this recently, and Lady Elena actually called Angie Bena her daughter-in-law.
When he knew the news, Sean's scalp was a little numb, because as far as he knew about Ms. Elena, there was a chance that the other party could do such a thing.
It's not that Sean has much bad feelings for Angel Bena, it's true that he is a little confused and doesn't know how to face it, even if he is an adult soul, he was a person who entered the marriage hall in his previous life, but in this life, he really never considered this problem, at least not yet.
"Get down to business!" Marshall hurriedly withdrew the topic of the beginning of the crooked building, "Whether the assassin is the Seven Apostles or not, this question should be considered by the lords and nobles of the Manyu military leader, and it has little to do with us, the two heirs fight to the death for the inheritance, that is the best, the more chaotic the Manyu military territory, the more peaceful our Jacob military state will be, and we will be able to spare more time to build the Twin Cities, and we can also develop with peace of mind." β
"How long will it take for the Twin Cities to take shape?" asked Sean.
"I'm afraid it won't be fast, Lord Ferdinand is going crazy, and now he is taking people to re-measure along the ancient Jacob River, verify our data, and calculate the maximum flow of the Jacob River before it is broken, saying that only by knowing it in his heart can he carry out the specific construction, I transferred the original measurement team to him, it should be faster, but the workload is there, and the earliest will not be until the beginning of the summer to officially start construction, this kind of large amount of work, it is difficult to form without three or two years, after all, Tuntian is the first priority, all kinds of infrastructure work must also be carried out, there is a shortage of people everywhere, it is impossible to put so many people there, and after the foundation is laid, most of them will be transferred back, at most leave him a regiment of engineers plus two thousand strong laborers. β
The Twin Cities in Sean's mouth are the new Bastille under construction, but the three words Bastille represent the humiliation and blood and tears of the Andes mountain people, and after discussion, they unanimously agreed to abandon it.
Not to mention the fact that the original Bastille has been razed to the ground, and even the foundations are being excavated and the roads are being repaired, and it is a bit out of place to use this name.
Eventually, the newly built city was named the Twin Cities, as the name suggests, because of the twin twin shapes.
After three days and three nights of ideological struggle, Ferdinand decided to believe in the Legion of the Eternal Night, led by Sean, believing that they could create miracles that human beings could not create, and to build the city on a river that did not exist, or more precisely, existed in the future.
This matter is not harmful to Ferdinand, anyway, all the manpower and material resources are from the Eternal Night Legion, and even the assumptions and drawings are given by others, and the Jacob River cannot be re-flowed at that time, that is also the other party's business.
Ferdinand's deep knowledge of architecture did not come out of nowhere, but on the principle of excellence.
Even if the Twin Cities were built on an illusory miracle, since he had inherited it, he needed to consider it holistically.
Because the miracle is not successful, it is just that, once it succeeds, the castle that he Ferdinand took time and effort to build will not be able to withstand the test, and a big flood will wash away, what face will he have to continue to mix?
Surveying the terrain and calculating the highest flow of the Jacob River is inevitable, and although the Eternal Night Legion has given the corresponding data, it is always uneasy to do without personal on-site survey.
"If you don't go crazy, you can't live, if the other party doesn't have this attitude, and he dares to build after taking over, I don't want to worry. β
Sean was very pleased with Ferdinand's attitude, and he appreciated this kind of down-to-earth person more than those who thought they were smart.
What's more, Sean had seen Ferdinand's youthful generosity in Solo City, and that echo structure alone had fully proven his true talent, and when it came to architecture, he was definitely a master.
"He is the chief engineer, in this regard, we are all laymen, as long as he does not make mistakes in principle, no matter what kind of excessive requirements are put forward, we must fully cooperate, what we want to build is not a fortress portal, but a bridgehead, related to our core development plan, not to be built, but must be built. β
"Understood!"
Everyone present nodded, they were all the core decision-makers of the Eternal Night Legion, they knew far more than Ferdinand, and they knew the importance of the Twin Cities very well.
"The coronation of the Grand Duke of Patlem is a one-man show, not only those nobles and nobles have shirked it for various reasons, but even the Holy Aether Holy See has only sent unpopular priests to participate. β
