Klein became a standard, with the best of intentions and the worst of things, at least for the Council of Elders.

Now that there is no such-stirring stick in it, things will go much smoother.

With this mentality, the Council of Elders reacted a little indifferently to Klein, neither sending someone to reprimand him nor asking him to come back.

The Great Council of Five Elders temporarily became four.

Fortunately, the Kingsley family is also accumulating strength, and there is no intention of starting a large-scale war in the short term.

After all, without the cooperation of the boats, he would not have been able to cross the Danube.

But the problem is that the Carthusian army does not even have a relatively large river, and it is not so fierce, where to build so many ships, especially war ships, even if they want to build their own, there are not so many craftsmen.

For this reason, Akmaiser sent a letter to Archduke Buck, explaining the situation and asking him for his assistance in solving the problem.

Now Buck is jumping up and down, trying to figure out how to solve the problem, and even hitting the head of Princess Regent and the Eternal Night Warlord.

It's a pity that one of them least wants them to take down the Swamp of Despair, and the other is their biggest opponent, and even if he pays more money, he can't buy a sampan from them.

But it's not just the Eternal Night Warlord who can build ships.

Grand Duke Buck has set his sights on the exiled Cummins, whose current power is mainly at sea, and their shipbuilding capabilities can only be compared to the Witches' Secret Society.

The two sides can be called a wolf meeting an embarrassment, and it is an instant hit.

After all, one needs a ship, and the other needs to intervene in the mainland's political pattern, and money is a little indifferent to both.

However, it also takes time to operate, after all, the Cummins family used to build mainly large sea vessels, and the number of flat-bottomed boats in their hands was only a handful.

The difference between sea boats and river boats is quite large, the former in order to cope with the wind and waves at sea, usually has a very deep draft, if you rush into the inland river, you will accidentally run aground on the reef.

Especially in the desperate swamp waters, the environment is complicated, and the big ship is not good when it arrives here.

By any measure, the conditions were not ripe for a full-scale invasion of the Swamp of Despair by the Kingsleys.

Grand Duke Buck and Akmesser are not fools, and in this case, even if the Eternal Night Commander provokes again, they will not go to war again.

If they do too much, it is easy to arouse their vigilance, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, the Eternal Night Warlord has also been a little silent recently, but he has continued to increase trade relations with the crocodiles.

With the self-exploitation of the profit-seeking merchants, more and more specialties of the Desperate Swamp were developed, such as unique subtropical fruits, grains that can be grown in shallow water (similar to rice), sugar cane with a high sugar content, and so on.

Especially the latter two, once developed, the value contained in them is absolutely beyond imagination.

The crocodile people guarded the treasure empty, and did not know how to use it reasonably, and fell into the hands of the Eternal Night Commander, so it was natural to dig out their value to the greatest extent.

The Emissary's next journey was smooth sailing, and it soon reached the Death Channel, escorted by a large number of merchant ships.

"Arrows!"

A special rattling arrow fired by a large ballista resounded through the sky.

There are 12 on the left and right, firing in unison, and the scene is very spectacular.

"Ring the bell!"

The huge alarm bell at the top of the Death Aqueduct, which was struck with a shocking sound, accompanied the messenger all the way.

"Array!"

As soon as they entered the Andes Inland Lake, they were greeted by two teams of assault clippers.

"Salute!"

Even from a distance of tens of meters, the soldiers on the Messenger could clearly hear the uniform salute.

The soldiers on the Messenger, except for those who could not put down the work in their hands, could not help but return the salute.

The blood was surging wildly, his face was red, and a pride that could not be described in words permeated his heart.

Twenty-four arrows greet the living.

The bell rings to lure the dead.

This is the heroic triumphal ceremony that the Eternal Night Leader has just set up two years ago.

They were greeted as heroes.

This was something that the officers and men of the Messenger did not expect to be killed, and they only thought that they had done what they should have done.

What's more, if it weren't for the appearance of that mysterious giant eagle, they would have been buried in the belly of the fish.

The welcoming ceremony did not come to a successful conclusion until the Messenger was escorted to the Rock.

Sean, dressed in a military uniform, saluted the young captain with a standard eternal night military salute and said, "I'm here to welcome the fallen soldiers home." ”

Not only him, but Marshall, Ralph, McGee, Chard, Tagore, Erickson, Woody, Ben Hebrew and a series of military leaders who can be called are all here, divided into two columns, and followed behind Sean in an orderly manner.

"The bodies of thirteen fallen soldiers are here, and the remains of seven fallen soldiers are missing, I'm sorry, General, I couldn't bring them back. Even in the face of a life-and-death crisis, the young captain did not frown, but at this moment, he couldn't cry, and there was a strong self-blame in his words.

"Don't blame yourself, you've done a good job, rest assured, the Soul Bell will guide them back to their homeland. Sean was extremely solemn.

Faith, since there is no way to eradicate it, establish a faith that is more conducive to rule.

The Eternal Night Leader chose to change and integrate the Andes' belief in ancestors and heroes to a certain extent, making it more ceremonial and inspiring.

Judging from the current situation, the effect is very good, not only the soldiers of the Messenger who are in it, the sad atmosphere of heavy casualties has been alleviated a lot, and the morale has skyrocketed, and the other soldiers of the eternal night who watched the ceremony also empathized with each other and were enthusiastic.

With this kind of posthumous treatment, what does it matter if you die in battle?

His deeds will be passed down forever, his name will be remembered by his people forever, and he will be transformed into a heroic soul to guard this land.

The Eternal Night Army led a group of official bosses to personally support the coffins of these fallen soldiers, and the bite that Sean helped was the Eternal Night Knight who desperately blocked Crane for Brann for a few seconds and provided him with a key respite.

However, the coffin contained only half of the body, and after his death, he was used as a weapon by Crane, and that half of it was completely lost.

Everyone helped the coffin and went all the way to the Hall of Heroic Souls, which was thirteen kilometers away from the Andes Inland Lake.

The Hall of Heroic Souls began to be built as early as the resumption of the Jacob River and the establishment of the Eternal Night Army, and it is only one-third of the way through to completion.

It should be considered the largest single building of the Eternal Night Commander, entrenched on the entire mountain.

The Heroic Soul Hall chose to be built here, which is naturally exquisite.

For one, this is the most central area of Andes Mountain.

Second, it is located at the confluence of a river and a river, which is considered to be on the edge of the traffic artery, whether it is from the Jacob River or from the Danube River, you can see it at first sight.

The Hall of Heroic Souls, although it is for the dead, is for the living.

Warn those outsiders, motivate themselves to lead the people, and subtly build a stronger centripetal force.

The Messenger was killed in battle, which was considered a timely meeting, and the Eternal Night Army Leader took the opportunity to announce the existence of the Heroic Soul Hall to the whole people, and promote the concept of the Heroic Soul that belonged to them.

In fact, the fallen soldiers of the Emissary were not the first Heroic Souls to enter the Hall of Heroic Souls.

When the Temple of Heroic Souls had just broken ground, Sean fulfilled his original promise and buried the remains of the young soldiers who attacked the Bastille before the Jacob River reflowed.

Due to the haste and lack of experience in the gathering, many people did not even leave their names.

As for the Eternal Night Legion, and even the soldiers who died after the official establishment of the Eternal Night Group Army, not to mention, they had already established a relatively complete pension system and a martyr's cemetery at that time, and they just changed to a new home.

In fact, this hill, which is not very high, is also a part of the Hall of Heroic Souls, in the shape of a pyramid, and the location of the burial is basically blank in the first half according to their positions and merits during their lifetime.

The Knight of the Eternal Night, who Sean held the coffin, should be regarded as the highest position and lord.

This will be their home.

A method like the Heroic Soul Hall needs to be maintained for a long time and affected slowly, but these things, once deeply integrated into the bones, will play a role beyond imagination.

The ceremony continued until sunset, but instead of dispersing, the military bosses of the Eternal Night gathered in the conference room of the Rock.

Andes Tiger Tagore, if it sounds good, it has a simpler temperament, and if it sounds bad, it is more emotional.

The burial ceremony of the fallen soldiers held during the day really moved him not to want, his eyes were red from beginning to end, as for whether he wanted to cry or be angry, only he himself knew, if anyone did not open his eyes to ask this question, it was definitely uncomfortable.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the meeting was relatively dull, he slapped the solid wood table and stood up, and said viciously: "You can bear this breath, I can't bear it, don't give them a little bit of power, I really think that we are easy to talk to, don't play with them, and directly send troops to destroy them." ”

"The general is a little restless, we didn't say to endure this breath, but there are many ways to get back to the field, not necessarily by force, not on the battlefield, we have invested in this on the crocodile people, and we can see that there is a harvest, and we can't spoil the whole plan because of impulse. Ben Hebrew was one of the few to speak first.

He is a veteran politician who has been through the storm for a long time, because this involves his son Branne, and he must make his position clear as soon as possible, otherwise there will be unnecessary misunderstandings, and it will be troublesome.

Brann nodded approvingly: "All the crew of the Messenger, I have worked with me for nearly half a year, in terms of personal feelings, I think I have more say than all of you here, for their sacrifice, I am more heartbroken, many of them died for me, no, more precisely, they did not die for me, but for the Eternal Night Commander's big family to fight and die, to make the Eternal Night Commander stronger, is their common philosophy, they never want it, we will do irrational actions for them." ”

"You have no authority to represent them. Rabindranath Tagore exclaimed, "None of us have the right to represent those brave and fearless soldiers. ”

"General Tagore, please restrain your emotions, we have no right to represent anyone, but our decision will affect the life and death of countless people, for the revenge of twenty lives, put in hundreds or even thousands of times the lives of soldiers, is this what you want?" asked McGee the Skullcrusher with blazing eyes at the somewhat hysterical Andis Tiger.

"I ......" Andes Tiger Tagore opened his mouth, didn't reply for a long time, and hammered his chest hard, "I just think it's a panic here." ”

Sean nodded approvingly and said: "You are not the only one who has the same feeling, but we have a great responsibility now, every decision involves a wide range of things, and if we make a mistake, more soldiers will die in vain, they have their duties, we have our responsibilities, for the sake of a moment of anger, it is most undesirable to act recklessly, and it is not too late to make a decision after we have analyzed all the situations." ”

"Go on, leave me alone. Tagore snorted, and thrust back into his place, sulking.

In fact, compared to before, after joining the Eternal Night Army, he has seen more things, his horizons have been broadened, and his cannon temper and self-restraint ability have improved a lot.

Everyone is not surprised, and when he finishes venting, it will be fine.

Sean nodded at Brann and said, "Tell me about the situation on the crocodile side." ”

After quickly going through the information he had in his mind, Brann said in a calm manner: " The attitude of the crocodile people towards us is polarized, one is to have goodwill and compromise, even if this kind of goodwill and compromise is forced to be helpless, with a kind of use mentality, but this is undoubtedly an opportunity we are trying to seek, the other is to oppose and exclude, thinking that we are no different from the Kingsley family, but the method is a little more gentle, in fact, it contains evil intentions, and the ultimate goal is to peek into the swamp of despair, but I didn't expect that some of them would go to extremes and want to use this way to destroy our connection with the other faction。 ”

Brann paused slightly, and then said: "The opposition is mainly led by the Great Elder Klein, when they launched an attack yesterday, because of an accident, he is now seriously injured, even if he is a champion knight, if he wants to fully recover, it is not possible to do it in three or two days, in a short period of time, the moderates of the Council of Elders should have the upper hand, this is good news for us, it is best to finalize everything that can be finalized before this." ”

"Hmm!" Sean nodded, knocking rhythmically on the table, "Now everything else is secondary, the main thing is to open a gap in them, and when the gap is opened, many things will be involuntarily, and this needs to be carefully studied." ”

Know each other and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

The problem of the Eternal Night Army Leader this time is not in knowing the other, but in knowing the confidant.

The interests of the crocodile people are there, and in the first confrontation with the Kingsley family, although they were frustrated, the main force was not devastated, and they still maintained a certain degree of self-confidence in this regard, and now the most important thing is food, followed by weapons and equipment.

The ultimate appeal of the Eternal Night Warlord is also very simple, that is, to eat the crocodile and the Despair Swamp together, but now it is obviously a fool's dream, and now it must find a way to cut the flesh with the consent of the crocodile, which is more challenging, and needs to be studied repeatedly by the Eternal Night Warlord.

In order to seek greater benefits and not disrupt the plan they had been brewing for several years, the Eternal Night Warlord temporarily suppressed this evil breath and met with the friendly faction of the Crocodile to discuss the development of cooperation.

The location was chosen on the Danube.

This time, it was still carried out on the Rock, and although the crocodiles strongly resisted, the attitude of the Eternal Night Leader was even tougher.

If the Rock is not allowed to enter the Danube Valley, we will break up and have nothing to talk about.

Now that the offense and defense have changed hands, it is no longer the time for the Eternal Night Army to lick their faces and send them to the door, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

It's that the crocodile people have a request for the Eternal Night Army, if they don't intervene, it won't take three or two years, and they will be wiped out.
