Chapter 36: The Establishment of the Kingdom
After the end of the sea battle on Dragon Wing Island, the situation in the entire Sea Dragon Islands immediately became clear.
Prior to this, although the advantages of the Lizardman Kingdom were already relatively obvious, the alliance of using a dragon head island against more than a dozen large and small islands in the south could not be said to be sure of victory. After all, whether it is the total population or the total resources, it is the Southern Islands Alliance that has the advantage. Coupled with the uncertainty of the war itself, many people are not optimistic about these lizardmen.
Lizardfolk are known to be the quintessential land dominant race, they are powerful and have natural scale armor, but they are not very good at navigation, and their thick and somewhat dull hands are not very good at steering the sails, and the potential for naval warfare is not great.
However, more than one scholar pointed out that the so-called "lizardman forces" are actually only 60% of all lizardmen, and the remaining 40% are found in all races, and there are even about 5% of mermaids - merfolk are recognized as the strongest naval race in battle, they can clearly distinguish between ocean currents and sea breezes, and they will never get lost at sea as if they were in their own yard. And they are very agile and agile, both in the water and on the boat. In addition, they have a long lifespan, and each of them has mastered comprehensive fighting and magic skills. Aside from being sparsely populated and disgusted with the vast continent, they are simply flawless.
Not only that, but the Lizardmen also have a sizable navy. Nearly forty large and small sea vessels, more than a thousand skilled veteran sailors. This strength is an advantage in the degree of crushing of any island in the Upper Southern Alliance.
As long as the lizardmen can seize the opportunity and eat the navy of one or two islands in the south, it will be enough to turn the balance of war and gain an advantage.
Even if they can't do it, with the advantage of the trade route, as long as they hold the dragon head island and fight steadily, time will definitely be on their side.
These analyses are well organized, and they can convince many people, whether they are bullish or bearish.
However, even the scholars who are most optimistic about the power of the lizardmen did not expect that this group of lizardmen, who had only been unified on Longtou Island for a few years, would actually decide the world in a battle, and defeated the navy of the Southern Islands Alliance in a head-on decisive battle, and won the war in one fell swoop.
When the lizardmen came to the islands by boat, except for a few diehards, all the forces on the islands chose to bow their heads and admit defeat.
When you come out to mix, you must first make a bright move, and if you can't beat someone, you have to admit defeat, and it's useless to hold on. The inhabitants of the islands in the South China Sea have never had a sense of nationhood, let alone a firm determination to "sacrifice their lives for the country." If the naval battle is lost, the general trend is gone for them, and those who will not surrender at this time will not surrender - the boss is unwilling to surrender, so naturally there are people who are willing to surrender to come out to be the boss, as for the "former boss", as for the "former boss", ...... Whoever cares about him!
On 9 January, all the troops who went to the various islands to persuade them to surrender returned to Longtou Island, and at the same time, the leaders of various forces on the southern islands came to Longtou Island.
The style of the lizard leader Yunero, everyone already understands. This guy is a person who does whatever he wants, and does whatever comes to his mind. Since he said that if he wins this battle, he will build a country, and he will definitely build a country.
If you don't rush to Longtou Island at this time, the huge benefits of the founding of the country will not be your share!
Therefore, the leaders of various forces are even more anxious than the lizardmen who are in a hurry to rush back to participate in the founding ceremony.
On January 10, His Majesty Yunero announced that today is a national holiday, so everyone should wash their scales, cultivate their spirits, and prepare for tomorrow's founding ceremony.
On January 11, the lizardmen force "Sea Dragon Kingdom" officially announced the founding of the country. His Majesty Younero Sea Dragon was crowned King. However, instead of the traditional "king-duke-count-baron-knight" aristocratic feudal system, this kingdom canonized one consul after another, and these large and small consuls were responsible for handling various affairs of the kingdom, which was completely different from the traditional aristocratic feudal system.
The various forces of the Sea Dragon Islands did not become the great nobles they expected, but they all received the status of nobility and the position of consul. As long as you don't perform too badly in the regular evaluation, and don't make bad things such as boiling public resentment, the consuls can be hereditary, and there is actually no big difference from the division of the nobles.
Of course, the mere fact that "poor performance in the appraisal will result in dismissal" is already very different from that of traditional aristocrats. However, the leaders of these various forces have either been completely subdued long ago, or they are not confident enough, and no one has questioned this at all.
So this slightly unimaginable system was actually established.
Compared with the changes in the political system, there are actually many things worth mentioning in the founding ceremony of the Sea Dragon Kingdom.
For example, Prince Qing of the Alantz Kingdom, a new upstart in the Western Continent, attended the founding ceremony on behalf of the kingdom and presented a rich gift to His Majesty Younero.
For example, Trella, Molai, and Leighton all sent envoys, and all expressed their willingness to formally establish diplomatic relations.
For example, Her Majesty Elibela, the queen of the Mermaid Kingdom, personally appeared at the founding ceremony and congratulated the Sea Dragon Kingdom on behalf of the countries of the South China Sea.
And also...... Forget it, there really isn't much to say about political things, it's nothing more than those things over and over again.
What the traversers are interested in is the special song and dance of the lizardmen at the founding ceremony. As a large group of iron-colored lizardmen brandished machetes and sang and danced in a neat formation, more than one of the traversers muttered things like "Isn't this the legendary Arirang Song and Dance Troupe?"
And when the lizards collectively performed the characteristic "beating belly drum", many people laughed and leaned back, thinking that it was really joyful.
There are also some of the more perceptive people, such as Panda, who have noticed some of the characters in the founding ceremony that they had not remembered at all.
For example, there is a cute little girl who looks soft next to Yourø, although her green skin looks weird, but I have to admit that she is indeed a very cute little girl.
At that time, someone raised the matter in the chat channel, and welcomed Yunero to join the Lori Party. However, Yunero himself denied this claim, and according to his introduction, the little girl was entrusted to the care of his friend and was a technician...... She knows a lot about medical care.
Anka, a doctor who had just been rescued from the Halloween world, immediately expressed his desire to communicate with her about medicine, but was ruthlessly refused.
In addition to these details, the most profound impact of this founding ceremony is joy.
Sing to your heart's content, dance to your heart's content, cheer to your heart's content, and eat and drink to your heart's content.
This practice will probably become a tradition in the Sea Dragon Kingdom, and it will be passed down from generation to generation along with the National Day......
