Cthulhu Gonfalon

The labyrinth and traps are finished, and the main body of the new rye fortress is almost finished, and the rest is only a few corners.

However, these retouching work is actually very important. Before I met an illustrator, I knew that the painting was very good, but the business was not good. The reason was that the artist’s paintings were very simple and the background was about equal to none. The character's clothes are not decorated at all - in fact, the artist is keen to paint the role of the ancient Greek white robe in order to realize his "simple and beautiful" aesthetic.

As far as Yuxiong’s professional point of view is concerned, the level of the artist is really good, simplicity is beautiful, nothing is wrong. However, the buyer and the player did not agree with this point of view, so until he crossed, the painter was still quite staggered, relying on opening a small grocery store to mix the days...

Xiong Xiong is not a succinct school. He belongs to the kind of kitsch artist. It is his greatest pursuit to let the audience like his work. So he is going to spend a little more time to make this fortress look as gorgeous as possible, so that every visitor can enjoy the beauty.

As for how to get beautiful enjoyment in the labyrinth of traps? He never thought about it at all.

So he was busy and busy. This work didn't seem to be grand before. In fact, because of the pursuit of meticulousness, the workload did not decrease. In particular, Xiongxiong is a little obsessive-compulsive, and every group of decorations can't be repeated. Every mural must have its source, which greatly increases his workload.

It's like a writer writing a novel. If he doesn't want to type anything, he might be able to play seven or eight thousand words in an hour; but if he wants to conceive the story, arrange the statement, and then modify it while typing, then It can be considered very productive in a thousand words in an hour.

Xiong Xiong was busy with the new rye fortress, but the Northwestern Republic began an important job.

Train the army.

The contradiction between the federal merchants of the gold coin and the aristocratic faction has shaken the entire continent, and all countries are very concerned about this. The Northwestern Republic, as a country directly adjacent to the Union of Gold Coins, is of course very concerned.

Although Kaohsiung is currently on the border between the two countries, he is guarded, and the war is absolutely impossible to spread to the Northwestern Republic. However, after discussion, the heads of the Republic finally thought that if necessary, the Republic should send troops to support the merchants.

In any case, the Northwestern Republic is, after all, a country that has established itself as a business, and even abolished the aristocratic lord system. Although the relationship with the countries is still good, fundamentally speaking, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between them and the countries ruled by the nobility.

Therefore, even if peace is still maintained, the Northwestern Republic should strengthen the building of national defense and give support to the federal merchants who are at least on the anti-aristocratic stand.

As for how strong the support should be, the heads of the Northwestern Republic are still discussing or arguing.

According to the opinion of the chief executive of the Philippe, it is necessary to fully support the merchants. It is best to fight the aristocracy and establish a republic. Everyone is a protagonist and watch each other to ensure national security.

But this radical plan was jointly opposed by several other big governors. Whether it was Mrs. Teague, who is in charge of the people's livelihood, or Leonard, who is in charge of the military, or Gerard, who is the representative of the church, she did not agree with such a fierce practice. Even the leaders of Gals City, Geltenberg, Keane and Gray Tower City are not in favor of this.

Mrs. Teague has always opposed military action, and her position is anti-war. In her view, the Northwestern Republic has a virtual mask to protect itself, and there is no need to worry about danger. If one day, the Void Mask is not willing to protect the Northwest Republic, or it can't protect it, then even if they work hard, they may not be able to keep the country. Therefore, it is a waste of time and energy to ponder those who have nothing. It is better to take time to deal with some government affairs.

Leonard thinks that the merchants are not going to the wall, it is really a group of firewood that can't afford it. The Northwestern Republic sent some instructors, and if they sent troops directly, they would be dragged down by the waste. He felt that if the situation was right, the Northwestern Republic could consider sending merchants to mergers and expanding territories. If he fights to expand the territory, he is willing to support it.

Gerard felt that the merchants were not necessarily a good character. Compared with the nobility, it was nothing more than a "bad guy" and a "worse bad guy." There is no need to support the merchants in order to oppose the aristocrats. It always feels a bit silly. If you have to support it, it is better to rebel against the people who support the gold coin.

Leon’s identity is not suitable for this discussion, so the spokesperson for Gals City is the owner of Carissa. She believes that the Northwestern Republic should give support to businessmen from the two aspects of materials and instructors. As for the direct dispatch of the army... Unless the merchants need to save their lives, it is better not to send troops easily.

The attitudes of Gerdeng and Keane are similar, but they are a little more radical. Both Oliana and Anna said they could send some troops to support, but they could not send too much.

The old Hart of the Gray Tower City is more conservative. He said that the gray tower city and the surrounding cities can jointly send about 100 middle-level mages, led by ten high-ranking mages to help the merchants to do some non-combat jobs. If you need more casters, they can also help. However, he particularly emphasized that these mages can only be responsible for logistics or support work, and will never go to the front.

In addition, other senior officials of the Republic have also expressed their opinions. In addition to the intelligence director Ist insisted that "intelligence personnel should not interfere in the internal affairs of the country" and resolutely refused to express their views, even the medical director Stil, who was lying on the table and slumbering, was woken up and asked half-forcedly. Her attitude.

Finally, the result of the discussion was that the Northwestern Republic stepped up its training of the army but did not send troops to support the merchants.

"Don't fight, what do you want to train the army?" Mrs. Teague asked very dissatisfiedly. "The soldiers are all young and strong, which is too wasteful!"

"I am prepared," Leonard said with a smile. "Maybe you can take advantage of it. If you have a chance, we don't have enough troops to seize the opportunity. It's a pity!"

As a result, there are a thousand people in the Republic, and there are 100 people in Geereng, Keen, and Gals City. There are 200 people in the city of Gray Tower and several nearby independent cities, for a total of 1,500 people. The army quickly gathered and began to train intensively.

This group of soldiers is different from the group of recruits sent by businessmen. They are veterans with certain foundations. Leonard has three main parts for their training. The first is to adapt to the new equipment specially built for them, to be familiar with those armor and weapons; the second is to strengthen the running-in and improve the efficiency of executing orders; the last is for some special circumstances. For example, night attack, emergency marching and other training, so that they can do the battle at a critical time, the battle can win.

How long does it take to train? Military director Leonard said how long it takes to train for training, and the better the better.

"No one will suspect that his knife is too sharp," he said.
