Chapter 241: White Mountain and Black Water Flag
"It's not a good thing, at least this meeting, we get to know him more fully, it's better than turning his face at a critical moment. "Sean is very open.
Life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten.
Even with a lot of basic information, a plan can be full of holes, let alone a plan that is beyond the reach of a lot of manpower.
"Philip is unreliable, so let's start supporting Angel Bena. Sophia wasn't the kind of person to be sad and quickly came up with a second plan.
"Are you going to make me the first Grand Duchess of Manyu?" Angel Bena was shocked, and a hint of flush appeared on her little crystal flower-like face.
"The beauty of thinking. Sean and Sophia said in unison.
"Don't be so ruthless, I think this matter can be considered. Angel Bena also knew that this possibility was very small, and the resistance was not ordinarily large, but she still said in a half-joking tone.
"Don't daydream, you know, it's impossible for my side to send troops to aid you, even if I send troops, I can only help Philip, otherwise other families will intervene, and neutrality is your biggest umbrella, once you put on a posture of competing with them for the Grand Duke's position, they are likely to directly join forces to clear you out." ”
Princess Regent reluctantly said that even if she was the ruler of the Byron League, she must follow the old rules of the game, otherwise she would be ostracized by the collective.
On top of that, she was also full of concerns about witches' secret meetings, but it was not appropriate to say it in person.
Of course, Angel Bena knows that what Sophia said is the truth, only with the power in her own hands, not to mention cleaning up the other two parties at the same time, it is very difficult to fight one side alone, and it must be done by external forces, calculation and calculation, only the Eternal Night Army can help her in this regard, and she looks at Sean pitifully, like an abandoned little milk cat.
"Don't look at me, we'll start our plan against the Swamp of Despair the next year, and we'll be overstretched with our own troops, let alone support you. Sean spread his hands, and he couldn't help it.
If possible, Sean would certainly like to watch Angel Bena, who has a good relationship with them, take the position, but they are really lacking in skills and don't have so much energy to fight on two fronts.
Sean is also unwilling to easily fall into this war swamp, Manyuren and Andes have been entangled for so many years, and the hatred has not yet resolved, and they have mixed a kick in the middle, it is really an old feud that has not been broken and a new feud has been added, and it is easy to burn the fire on themselves.
Sean changed his words and said: "It is impossible to send you to the position of Grand Duke, but there is no problem in helping you gain control of the Jacob River in the Manyu military territory, especially the control of the major natural ports, you must take them all, you only have half a year, and in this half year, the warships of the eternal night will cooperate with your army." ”
"Half a year, that's enough. Angelena nodded excitedly.
It's no fun to become the Grand Duke of the Manyu Army, and it's good to be able to expand your territory.
In fact, the most important thing that the Manyu military leaders value most now is the water artery of the Jacob River, and only by holding it firmly in their hands can the materials of the regent princess's fiefdom and the Eternal Night Group Army be successfully exchanged.
Salt and coal, the output of the territory that Anjibena now controls is sufficient.
Although the Quadripartite Conference collapsed, it did not prevent Angie Bena from wantonly occupying the natural ports along the route in the area controlled by Partlem under the banner of Philip's allies.
With the cooperation of hundreds of warships and merchant ships of the Eternal Night Army, Angel Bena's Knights Hospitaller is elusive, and Patrium is unable to defend against it.
After all, the Jacob River has just been reflowed, and those natural harbors have not formed villages and towns, and many of them are wasteland.
There was no question of whether to fight or not, the warships of the Eternal Night Army transported them over and planted a flag to express their sovereignty.
Patlem, who was confronting Philip head-on, didn't bother to pay attention to her.
After the flag is planted, the main event is the main event, and the building materials of the Eternal Night Army continue to flow downstream.
With the help of the Engineer Corps of the Eternal Night Group Army, large and small ports took shape rapidly.
Of course, the help of the Eternal Night Army is not free, and it will need to be repaid by Angie Bena with port taxes and various minerals in the future, and some ports are leased to the Eternal Night Army for a period of 100 years.
The Lancelot royal family also did not directly withdraw their aid to Philip, they also needed him to help them hold Patlem down.
......
"Congratulations, my lordship, you are my guardian knight from now on. Sophia smiled and handed him his personal seal, family crest and flag, which belonged to Sean.
"Waiting for your summons, my princess. Sean replied respectfully.
Although the honorifics used and the extremely formal knight's answer, but with the situation in front of them, there is a sense of paradox.
Because the whole process makes it easy for them to do it.
The bystanders witnessed three or two kittens, except for Angel Bena, who belonged to a third party, and the others were either the people of the princess regent or brought by Sean.
There is no officiant, there is no canonization ceremony, and even the oath of allegiance is omitted.
If it weren't for Amelia's strong objection, believing that it was completely against tradition for them to do so, they would have been afraid that they would have omitted even the process of conferring personal seals, family crests, and family flags just now, and would have just verbally done it, changed their titles, and then they could have registered them in the royal archives of the Lancelot royal family.
Anyway, their allegiance itself is verbal, and has no practical binding significance, in order to give Sean a legitimate Byron Alliance identity, and incidentally whitewash the Eternal Night Army and become part of the Byron Alliance.
Others admit that it is a matter of the future, and first take advantage of the honeymoon period between the two parties and get official proof.
Even if a simple knighthood ceremony was carried out, this person's seal, family crest, and family flag were not given by the princess regent, but were designed and made by the Eternal Night Army a long time ago, and it was just a matter of passing it from her.
The regent princess and her entourage rolled their eyes, it was the first time they had seen such a child's play, and what made them even more unacceptable was that Her Royal Highness, who had always been extremely serious, did not refuse, and was full of interest.
They really want to ask aloud, are you still our original princess, what kind of ecstasy soup did this guy pour you?
The performance does not represent the real character, perhaps under the calm appearance of the princess regent, there is a rebellious heart hidden, and she has long been tired of the same model, but she is limited by the general environment and her own identity, and cannot make changes.
Once in a while, indulging like this is like stealing a fishy cat, and it's not fun.
The princess regent canonized Sean as a baron, the lowest level of the Byron League's real titles.
Higher, the regent princess is not unable to give, but it doesn't mean anything, but it is easy to get into trouble for herself, the old foxes in the royal capital, all day long, are waiting to catch her.
As I said before, this is just a verbal oath of allegiance, Sean does not need to pay taxes to the princess regent, and naturally he will not get additional fiefs, and the land is still his original share.
It is worth mentioning that with this not-so-serious canonization, the Eternal Night Army officially established its own symbol.
The personal seal, family crest, and family flag that were poured from the princess regent were the only serious things in this canonization.
They are designed by the Eternal Night Group Army from top to bottom, painstakingly and repeatedly, and they will represent the Eternal Night Group Army to the outside world.
The Andes people worship black, and the Eternal Night Army has always used the black flag in the name of Eternal Night.
It's been six or seven years, and many people have developed feelings, and besides, they have a bit of a reputation in the Andes Mountains, and many people know that the Black Flag is the symbol of the Eternal Night Army.
So when they designed the new flag and badge, they didn't change that, they still used black as the base, but in order to make it look less thin, they added something to it.
There are not many things added, just a mountain, a river, and a city.
The mountain, needless to say, is naturally Andes Crater, although it is a few simple strokes, but Andes Crater has a unique geographical environment and is highly recognizable, and it can be recognized at a glance.
The river is the Jacob River that has just reflowed.
There is no dispute about this mountain and river, they not only raised the Andes people, but also the foundation for the development and growth of the Eternal Night Group Army, whether it is the ancient Jacob River before the reflow, or the Jacob River after the reflow, they will continue to feed the Andes people.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Andes Mountains are treacherous, wild places.
In the eyes of the Andes, she was the mother who gave birth to them and raised them.
A son is not ugly to his mother, and what son does not love his mother and his homeland?
When this was proposed, it was unanimously passed.
The real controversy is about that city.
That city is also quite recognizable, and it is the Twin Cities that have just been put into use.
The point of controversy is whether the Twin Cities are qualified to represent the Eternal Night Army.
Although the Twin Cities are now the first cities of the Eternal Night Army, whether it is the northern fortress relying on the entire Odin Grand Canyon, or the three-dimensional city of mountains, caves, and water that once belonged to the territory of the Three Caves Alliance, or the large basin exposed after the water level of the inland lake of Yang or Andes was greatly reduced, the towns that are being built on the enclosure.
According to the style of the Eternal Night Army, no matter which of these three is completely completed, it will not be worse than the Twin Cities, and it may even be even better.
After all, whether it is the infrastructure construction means of the Eternal Night Group Army or the architectural design team led by Ferdinand, they are growing rapidly, and they are far from the limit.
However, after arguing for a long time, the Twin Cities were finally selected.
As the opposition said, the Eternal Night Army is growing rapidly, and no one knows where the limit is, including Sean.
On the contrary, the twin cities that started as them are very representative, representing the first step taken by the Eternal Night Army.
The shape of the Twin Cities is also very good, it is like a portal, which represents both protection and welcome.
There is nothing wrong with using it as a symbol of the Eternal Night Army.
What's more, this kind of thing is not set in stone and can be improved at any time, for example, the garrison of the Twin Cities uses the Twin Cities logo, and the Northern Corps of the Northern Fortress can completely replace the Twin Cities with the appearance of the Northern Fortress.
After the formation of the flag of the Eternal Night Army, it is very unique.
The white painting on a black background, somewhat similar to an ink painting with inverted colors, is full of a unique charm, which can be described as far-reaching and unconventional.
Even in this respect, the well-informed Princess Regent praised her as unique, and she was instantly recognizable among the thousands of lords and nobles.
The family badge is a simplified version of the family flag, and then add their own numbers according to different attributions, etc., and some departmental identification cards can be used for this.
For example, the Military Supervision Institute directly prints the word "supervision" in the middle, and the military staff directly prints the word "staff officer".
The family flag and family coat of arms are the names of the Byron Alliance, and are called the military flag and emblem within the Eternal Night Army.
It is worth mentioning the craftsmanship of the military emblem.
The special mold used is poured at one time, which is not only full of three-dimensional sense of the emblem, but also has a special effect.
That's right.
It's the enchantment that is used.
Once the energizing gemstones are set on top to form a complete circuit, it can exert a special effect.
In the normal version, the above enchantments are guarded, and some special ones require special customization.
Of course, the Eternal Night Army is not yet extravagant enough to spread the enchanted military emblem throughout the army.
Now there is no way to give priority to those who have made outstanding achievements.
The meritorious service system of the Eternal Night Group Army has never been simply a decoration and reputation, but is linked to its own interests, not only in the category of pensions, but also in the priority of equipment.
Some limited equipment that cannot be popularized, and those soldiers can spend their merits to redeem.
This is a very effective means of stimulation, from top to bottom, with great emphasis on the accumulation of merits and full of enthusiasm.
As for the personal seal, there is not much to say, this is a more personal thing, Sean directly used his own name, and added a little bit of the concept of military flags and military emblems, which is considered decent.
The award ceremony, they engaged in so-so.
The flag-awarding ceremony of the Eternal Night Group Army was vigorous.
Each legion sent its most elite hundred-man guard to the Twin Cities, not only to accept this honor, but also to be reviewed, to review the development achievements of the Eternal Night Group Army over the years.
On this solemn occasion,
I, Sean Don Augustine, in the name of the Supreme Commander of the Eternal Night Army, declare,
The Eternal Night Army was officially renamed the Eternal Night Army Leader,
I will take over as the lord of the Eternal Night Army as the supreme commander of the Eternal Night Army,
The subjects under the jurisdiction of the former Eternal Night Group Army will automatically obtain the status of the Eternal Night Army Leaders.
I will treat each and every one of my lords as a brother, a brother, and a family member.
Let us work together to build our common home;
We started out as a legion,
But we don't advocate aggression,
We don't develop force for the sake of plunder,
but for the guard,
Defend our homeland from the prying eyes and plunder of robbers,
Guard our people from coercion and oppression;
It is precisely because of the existence of these brave soldiers,
Only then can we live and work in peace and contentment, and only then can we thrive.
Sean's speech was not fast, his voice was not high, but the speech spread far, far away.
Not only did it reach the ears of everyone present, but it also crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and entered the hearts of every Andes person, because he was also giving a speech from his heart, telling his heart to every one of the people of the eternal night.
Sean didn't use any encouraging words in his speech, but when it reached the ears of every Eternal Night Lord, it made people's blood boil.
