Chapter 661 Secret Party Registration Act
"Oh, Mr. Butler, I have admired you for a long time. Although I am a man, who says that men can't like men?"

"Yes, I love you, too."

"I'm afraid I came at the wrong time."

"No, Master Knight, you have arrived just in time."

The next second, the three bloody human heads impaled on spears collided face to face. The secret party holding the spears even pulled out the tongues of the three heads and swung them at each other.

"Hahahaha-"

"It's my turn now, get out of the way."

Sitting by the stove and the long chestnut table, the secret party members laughed and slapped the greasy table top with their rough palms, spilling the beer in their glasses all over the table.

The once quiet and elegant Knights' Hall was now filled with hundreds of secret parties.

They were dressed in bright robes, colorful headscarves, and bone beads around their necks. Some even took off their shirts, revealing their chests covered with tattoos.

They hugged their knees or sat cross-legged on chairs, talking and shouting loudly, and the smell of bad breath, cigarettes, sweat and alcohol mixed together and penetrated people's noses.

The tapestries on the wall had long been taken down and replaced with the flag of the Black Snake Bay Secret Party - a spider web-shaped hexagonal battle flag with strange mysterious symbols next to it.

The crooked silver candlesticks were almost broken in two during the scramble. The secret party leaders stood barefoot on the table and grabbed bread and lamb chops with their bare hands.

Only when the ceremonial officer stood at the door and shouted, "His Excellency Horn Galar, the grandson of the Savior Army, His Excellency John III (Lulos), the leader of the John Party, His Excellency Jeanna, the Lightning Witch, and His Excellency Solan, the president of the Shadow Society, are here!" did the crowd gradually quiet down.

A group of secret party members seemed to be under a spell of stillness. They all turned their heads and stared at the door intently.

Horn, wearing a high-collared navy blue jacket with black embroidery, appeared at the door. He wore a gentle smile and waved to greet the secret party leaders present.

It seemed that the impact of the bombardment of Fraser Castle in the past few days was still there. Many people didn't even dare to breathe, but just lowered their heads and whispered.

In the solemn atmosphere, Horn did not feel uncomfortable and walked naturally towards the main seat.

However, just when he was halfway there, someone from the secret party suddenly shouted at Horn: "Dad!"

In this brief silence, the sudden cry of "Abba!" was like a spark falling on a haystack, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the whole place.

Many secret party members burst into laughter, and some even followed suit and shouted "Dad", "Mom", "Grandpa's son", while the rest shouted Horn's name and cheered.

Solan couldn't help but cover his face, while Lulos continued to smoke her pipe calmly and walked towards the seat with her short legs flapping.

Instead, Jeanne looked at these strange-looking people with curiosity and amusement.

Walking to the main seat, Horn sat down without hesitation and raised the wine glass in his hand: "Well, I am very happy that we captured Fraser Castle today. Come, let me raise a glass first."

As he said that, Horn tilted his head back and drank the beer in the glass. Cheers and applause were heard immediately in the hall.

After wiping the beer foam from the corner of his mouth, Horn refilled his glass: "Today, I want to toast you all again, because today we are no longer losers, but winners. We have used our own strength to take back our land and our dignity."

Horn smiled, raised his glass, and glanced at every secret party leader in the hall. The secret party leaders raised their glasses, mutton chops and dead heads in response.

When the cheers died down a bit, Horn continued: “However, victory does not mean the end, it is just the beginning.

We have captured the fortress, but too much of the land in Black Snake Bay is still occupied, and the people of Black Snake Bay are still living in fear. I know that the secret party has always been the guardian of Black Snake Bay. You have protected this place with blood and sacrifice, a place of freedom, but I must ask a question - have you really saved it? "

The hall gradually became quiet and many people lowered their heads.

"The church and the knights have repeatedly carried out raids, burning our properties and razing our homes to the ground. The people of Black Snake Bay are wild but hardworking, yet they are still poor and on the verge of starvation." Horn paused for a moment and pointed to the secret party flag in the hall. "Have you ever thought about why?"

"Because they are too strong."

"Thousand River Valley only has half the land of yours, and it has even less supernatural forces than you do, but it still expelled the church, didn't it? This is not a reason." Horn shook his head, "It's because you are not united, your strength is always dispersed, and then you keep consuming each other until the church seizes the opportunity to defeat you one by one."

"The main reason why I came to Black Snake Bay is to help my former big brother, my current ally, to stand up." Horn's voice was sonorous and powerful in the Knight Hall. "Black Snake Bay needs a united federation! No longer a loose faction, no longer fighting each other, but a union composed of all the people in Black Snake Bay!"

The secret parties looked at each other, not knowing what Horn would say next.

"But as the saying goes, if you don't start with small steps, you can't travel ten thousand miles." At this moment, as Lulos and Solan stood up silently, Horn finally showed his fangs, "The Savior Army has reached an agreement with the Shadow Society and the John Party. Starting next week, the Secret Party Registration Act and the County Joint Council will be implemented in the Northern County."

As soon as Horn finished speaking, the etiquette officer walked in from the door and handed documents to the secret party members.

The so-called "Secret Party Registration Act" means that starting from next week, all secret parties must register their party names, locations and membership lists.

Only registered secret parties can participate in the election for seats. Any secret party that fails to obtain at least one seat will either be banned, merged, or relocated.

All secret parties that are not on the "Secret Party List" are considered illegal organizations and have no legal effect or judicial recognition.

Following the Secret Party Registration Act, the Northern County Council was established, and any secret party member on the register could run for election as a member of the council.

The distribution rule given by Horn is based on the township. The secret party will register the population under their control and give one seat for every 20,000 people and their land.

In this way, hundreds of secret parties in the eight townships of the northern county were instantly reduced to less than thirty, and all of them had to be bound to a certain area.

Small secret parties that are unable to get seats can either join other secret parties or run away.

Given the current situation in Black Snake Bay, it is basically impossible to implement household registration like that in Qianhe Valley.

The reason is simple. Horn himself is short of administrative staff and he has to use them in Thousand River Valley first. How can he spare any for Black Snake Bay?

Horn couldn't govern himself, so he had to let them govern themselves.

He could only use this method to get the secret parties to voluntarily register the population and land.

But don't think that the secret parties can increase their seats by falsifying population and land. In the future, the allocation of taxes and military personnel will have to be based on the lists submitted by the members of parliament.

All the township councillors in a county form a county council, which decides on taxes, levies and proposes bills.

In this way, Black Snake Bay changed from secret party autonomy at the village level to regional autonomy at the township level.

The difference is that due to the urgency of the current war situation, the priority of the bill is central, county and then township.

If there is a conflict between the bills, the one with higher priority will be followed. There is no possibility that local laws will conflict with federal laws.

"Let me put it this way." Horn snapped his fingers, "Whoever can bring the list of 20,000 people and the land register to the Long Beach County Office will be a member of parliament."
