By the way, the surname Black Blade sounds like a typical "Druzi", which is the surname of the dark elves.
The personnel that El had previously arranged to wait at the western port soon arrived upon hearing the news and took over the coordination with these elves who had traveled across the ocean.
The person in charge of the affairs here is not any offspring, but Elune, the half-best friend and mother of Ai'er's adoptive mother, and also his half-adoptive mother.
Receiving this group of elves as the king's foster mother was definitely a sign of high regard.
And Al could also keep an eye on the situation here through the spiritual connection between him and the sheep mother. He did not let any of his six (seven) offspring come into contact with this group of "nihilistic elves". In addition to the fact that the war was imminent, Al was also afraid that these elves would instill some bad ideas in their children.
As a result, in El's fantasy, he once again raised the banner of rebellion in the future:
Gods! Kingship! All lies!
No God --- and no Master!!!
The magnificent betrayal of my father 2.0.jpg
And so on.
Therefore, he was rather cautious in his attitude towards these elves. He was also very busy. Besides, this group of elves could be called "immigrants" at best and "runaway refugees" at worst. If he was still in the forest, it wouldn't matter. But now he was the ruler of two tribes and one country. If he continued to do everything personally, it would be somewhat against etiquette.
Although her presence has never been very high and she seems to be just "El's Sheep Girl", Sheep Mom's status in the tribe is actually not low at all. Except for El's several expeditions to Pina, local affairs were left to his descendants - and Sheep Mom to handle.
Although he was in charge of the situation, over time, Elune had grown into an officer with some basic knowledge of the affairs through his influence. However, like Alina, she did not like to go out and was content to stay with El. Therefore, after ascending the throne and establishing her government, this "half-adoptive mother" still looked like a member of the harem.
However, due to the scarcity of administrative power, Ai'er still handed over some affairs of the "Orphans of Ai'er" in the church system to the Sheep Mother for management. As Elune, who is inseparable from him and has many facets, has enough authority and seamless channels with Ai'er to handle problems.
The official priests of Marus (these two duties overlap in most cases in the United Kingdom), led by Sheep Mother, met with representatives of the elven immigrants at the local cathedral.
Asta Blackblade and a dozen of his elf companions arrived at the scene. They first "enthusiastically" visited the sacrificial activities of the Four Mothers and Five Seals, then expressed their respect for the four powerful goddesses and the son of God, Ai'er, and vaguely mentioned the terms of the "transaction", hoping to get a place to settle down in Estalia, the United Kingdom, and of course, preferably in the Pina Forest.
At El's instruction, Elune neither refused nor agreed directly, but said that these matters needed to go to Margarita and meet with El to discuss in detail before getting a formal result.
Marus will provide supplies for the elves, and the king hopes that the elven fleet will continue south and then east, directly to Margarita, where he will hold a grand welcome ceremony for the elves and discuss matters concerning naturalization in detail.
If this group of elves was indeed guided by Lilith, then they should have known that El would eventually agree to the conditions for letting them stay. However, Asta Black Blade and others did not agree immediately, but said goodbye and left, choosing to return to the ship first.
It is said that they are going to hold a vote, and each person will have one vote to decide what to do next.
The result was very surprising to Al.
The elves did not intentionally conceal their vote. On the contrary, to show their sincerity, they also invited the United Kingdom side to board the ship to observe the entire voting process.
After this matter was raised, some elves immediately said that they did not like this place very much and hoped to leave. Most of them said that it was no big deal. Anyway, from Marus to Margarita, that is, one-fourth of the distance from Osun to Marus. If possible, they would like most of them to stay here and send a plenipotentiary representative to Margarita to meet Ai'er before deciding whether to stay or go.
After the vote, about eight or nine out of ten people agreed to contact Margarita formally first. After all, issues involving land obviously require formal communication with the head of a country. Most of those who opposed said that they did not like it very much or found it troublesome.
El originally thought that with such a huge gap, the elves would adopt the arrangement of minority obeying majority, but what he didn't expect was:
After the vote, the elves reorganized the fleet's structure. Those elves who did not want to stay were divided into two ships with sufficient supplies. After a brief sad farewell and blessings from both sides, the two ships carrying hundreds of elves sailed back to the sea, one heading south and the other north!
After a brief communication among themselves, the elves who chose to leave also had different ideas. The ship heading north chose to go to Carcassonne. The knights were not very welcoming to immigrants, but the elves might be different, so they decided to go to Carcassonne to see if they could settle down.
The elves heading south planned to try their luck first in Araby, the Barren Land.
Such a clean split felt very strange to Al who was watching on the other side.
According to observations, Asta Blackblade, who introduced himself as the "Commander" at the beginning, was not the "Admiral" or "Admiral" in the traditional sense. He and the other dozen or so people present did not even show obvious distinction between high and low status. The same was true when voting. They just voted silently in the crowd and then counted the votes. They did not even look down on the authority of the "leader" at all.
There was no interest in stopping the split of the immigrant fleet. Apart from feeling sad, he just wished his compatriots a safe journey and hope they could find a suitable home.
This made El truly realize the peculiarity of this group of elves. During their previous visit and participation in religious ceremonies, Asta and his companions had been very respectful in their actions and expressions. But in fact, El could sense that this group of people did not have the slightest real trust in the sacred traditions and order in their hearts.
.........
"so......"
Al touched the black hair between his legs. Mrs. Yedija had just finished serving the boy and was now covering her mouth with her hands, trying to swallow all of his stuff.
"This 'extreme democracy' they are practicing now?"
These elven immigrants do not have an authoritarian leader. All their important affairs are decided by voting. If there are conflicting opinions, the opponents, or in other words, either party, can leave immediately and disband with a formal ceremony.
Chapter 37: Two Captains
After completing the oral service under the desk, Yediya quickly stood up and tidied her clothes. Then she hugged the boy, pressed his head against her chest as a pillow, and then got up and left.
Al continued to work alone, and soon got up and moved to another room.
The eldest and the second are both here.
Although Al is lustful, and he has participated in office .avi, stories under the table, and weekday parties more than once or twice, but he still cannot act as if no one is around, except for a few times, such as when there is no way a third party can get close to him, and if he finds out what is going on under the table, there may be someone under the table.
At other times, such as when he was working with his children like Misha, Al would never mess around - he would go somewhere else.
After all, as a father and a king, it is natural for him to have the privilege of going out and relaxing while at work.
This is generally the case. The only people who would sit in the office with Al are Misha and Kael'thas. Barbatos is sometimes reluctant to do so. As for the pony Alia, like Hera, her skills are more inclined towards combat and military, and her race makes her not very suitable for staying in the office.
The eldest and the second oldest are, well, smarter and don't bother to figure out why their young father is distracted.
If it were the wolf girl Hera, she would definitely follow El wherever he went with her tail wagging. El would have a hard time leaving her behind, otherwise Hera would definitely find a place to hide in a corner, looking aggrieved and baring her teeth in the air, and El would have to stroke her fur before she could recover.
Therefore, Hera is usually not there when Al is working. After all, the wolf girl doesn't like such occasions. Even if she is there, she is more like a mascot, watching the whole process, occasionally rubbing against Al, and letting her little father pet her like a big pet.
If Al gets sexually aroused again at that time...it's not impossible for him to control himself and delay gratification.
Al walked straight to the first seat and sat down to start his work - no!
He first casually flipped through the documents in front of him, glanced at what they roughly talked about, then slowly stood up and went to the servant's side to manually brew a pot of scented tea. In order to stimulate the fragrance as quickly as possible, he poured two pots back and forth. Then he poured a cup for his eldest daughter and second son respectively, then held the teacup in both hands and leisurely returned to his "workstation".
If Al doesn't make a cup of tea before going to work, he feels as if he hasn't had sex all day and feels uncomfortable all over.
"Who wrote this report on 'How to use limited forces to conduct maritime confrontation when there is a huge gap between the enemy and our naval forces?'"
Al's workload now mainly comes from three directions: one is the subordinate agencies of the royal government, one is the work reports given to him by his descendants, and there is also a hidden line, which is the various information collected and fed back by the Church-Ministry of Internal Affairs for him.
For a task book like this, which is a summary of experience + plan, it is either the first or the second, there will not be a third line.
Al read it for a while and felt that the various ideas and countermeasures mentioned in it were very effective, including the belief that given the severity of the current situation, it was absolutely impossible to expect to build a main fleet that could confront the Tyrell Navy head-on before the war. Faced with inevitable disadvantages, one should strive for as much as possible in tactics and strategy.
Modify existing ships to reduce other performance in exchange for increased speed, then send them out to sea in small formations to conduct harassment operations, while the homeland adopts a defensive stance and relies on port fortresses and artillery batteries to block the enemy fleet.
The author of this plan also stated that if the war enthusiasm of the colonies could be mobilized and the colonies, whose naval power now far exceeds that of the mainland, could be made loyal to the mainland as much as possible, and an all-out war of resistance could be launched, it would greatly hinder the Tyrells' plan to sever the connection between the mainland of the United Kingdom and the colonies, devour the latter and then encircle the former.
It feels a bit like a pack of wolves at sea, fighting each other.
Misha raised her hand:
"Taylor... Wilson..." At the same time, Al also saw the two signatures at the end of the last page:
Taylor Benser, the "Captain" and one of the seven elders of the Salvation Society, was a hero who made outstanding contributions during the Patriotic War. In the late period of the Eastern Expedition, after the decisive battle of Tolosa, due to the turmoil in Margarita, he came to the Aiel army with Countess Melisande, and officially joined the Aiel Liberation Army as a representative of the Salvation Society. Later, he supported Aiel's regency, the unification of the South, and the Northern Expedition... After Aiel ascended the throne, he did not choose to stay in the new government, but shirked all external affairs and chose to retire gloriously. After all, the honor he had was enough for him and his descendants to enjoy.
The other person was Jan Byron Wilson, who left an impression on Al with his bad temper and outstanding professional ability at the Southwest Defense Conference convened by Bermoz before the launch of the Eastern Expedition.
He once declared at the conference: To protect the retreat of the Eastern Expedition Army, only the city of Permoz is needed. It is better to give up the rest of the places and concentrate the forces in Permoz. In this way, even if the southwest is lost again, as long as the main force of El wins the Eastern Expedition and liberates Margarita, the enemy can only retreat from the continent.
At that time, after Al affirmed his professional vision, he still chose the unwise policy of "defending everywhere" from a military perspective.
Later, Wilson did a pretty good job in the defense work around Permuz, and even led the coastal defense fleet to take the initiative to attack several times, eliminating some small pirates who wanted to "take a gamble and make a fortune", and made military achievements.
However, because of his bad character, he offended people a lot, including directly firing cannons in the parliament, even the people of Bomoz did not accept him. Therefore, in addition to the fact that El rewarded him with a position as a senior military advisor and deputy minister of coastal defense, Bomoz even dismissed him from the parliamentary election during the internal election. The reason was that Wilson would go to Margarita to work and might stay in the capital, so it was not suitable for him to keep his original position...
In addition, he himself was a relatively "stubborn" traditionalist. Of course, he was not one of those who went into exile abroad or followed Galen in raising an army for justice, but rather a simple "conservative" who shut himself in and took care of himself.
Although he still adheres to the belief of the Goddess of War, he rarely goes to the formal activities of the Temple of the Goddess of War, whose number is now decreasing. From the communication, it is impossible to tell what this guy believes in, but he has indeed not converted to the Five Seals. This has led to him not being taken seriously in the United Kingdom after being reused for a short period of time. The fact that he was not kicked out and completely marginalized is already a display of tolerance by the new government - plus there is a real shortage of people, so for this not particularly important position, a centrist should be fine.
Today, he suddenly wrote a letter with Captain Taylor, and his words were so convincing that Al became somewhat interested.
"Call them here. I want to have a good talk with the two 'captains'."
Then Al took another glance and found that there was a letter under this document. The handwriting was a little crooked, and there were claw marks and water marks. It was not known whether it was saliva or something else. It was neither long nor short, about the size of a short essay.
The first thing he wrote was a paw print and a signature, and he also drew a dog head seal next to it for cuteness.
Al took a few glances and turned his gaze to Misha, waved the letter in his hand at her, shrugged his shoulders and made a biting face to his little father, indicating that he was helpless.
Al had no choice but to put the letter at the bottom and pretend he didn't see it for the time being, otherwise Hera would definitely come to bother him again and ask him to support her adventure plan.
Chapter 38: Taylor, Wilson
Taylor and Jan Byron Wilson sat opposite each other in the long hall. Taylor admired Jan's talent very much and once considered supporting him to take over his position in the National Salvation Association. However, he later gave up because of Jan's bad temper and gave up on supporting this young man who might bring more damage to the National Salvation Association which had almost disintegrated after the split.
He had been observing Wilson with the keen eyes of an old sailor and captain.
The latter was sitting upright in a straight blue and white navy uniform. After the establishment of the United Kingdom, Al made many changes one after another, some of which were about clothing.
There are at least two sets of uniforms, one for regular dress and the other for combat. Dress uniforms are worn for meetings and parades. The uniforms for the navy, army, and internal affairs departments are different, but the main colors of the "navy" are blue and white, and senior officers wear red uniforms with gold edges.
Wilson was a senior staff officer and deputy minister of naval defense, and was a senior military officer, so he had a golden ribbon on his chest, which was meticulously arranged, with all the threads hanging neatly to the right.
This was obviously not the Wilson Taylor knew. He used to be wild and unkempt, and was often accused of being rude. But today, he had shaved his beard, trimmed his hair, and even carefully trimmed his nails...
Taylor recalled some rumors about Wilson:
Soon after arriving in Margarita, he was not liked by his colleagues because of his strange temper and adherence to traditional beliefs, so he started to live alone. Not long ago, he met a lady and they got married soon. After that, Wilson has changed a lot.
Including the matter of this joint letter, Taylor was in Bermoz at the time and first received a letter from Wilson, in which Wilson sincerely apologized for his previous recklessness and arrogance, and for failing to live up to Taylor's trust. He also attached the full text of the letter and asked Taylor to help review and annotate it. If possible, he also asked the old captain to sign a joint letter with him and present the proposal to Al's desk.
After a careful examination, Taylor discovered that Wilson's somewhat "arrogant" behavior was not groundless arrogance, but was indeed backed by real talent. As an old captain, he spent more time at sea than on land. He could tell the other party's professional strength at a glance from many of their profiles and experiences, and even many of their unique ideas were things that he had to think carefully before he suddenly realized.
This made Taylor, who already had some ideas of "not eating Zhou food and living in seclusion in the countryside", even more excited. He first entered the Aiel army with the countess, contacted the coalition forces as an official representative of the National Salvation Association, and later supported Aiel's regency. After Aiel ascended the throne, he resigned on the pretext of being too old to do labor. To be honest, he was not a very loyal person to the new king.
It can be seen from his behavior, but he is more rational and knows that Harrington's gang can't accomplish anything - they didn't seize the opportunity that was within their reach, causing Margarita to suffer a disaster in vain, and allowing Al to enter the city with the banner of the savior, so that no one in the entire South can compete with him.
If the National Salvation Association had fought hard and liberated Margarita before the coalition forces arrived, it could have called on the southeast and even competed with Ai'er. As long as both sides did not want to fight internally and still made the greenskins their first target, the supreme power would not have easily fallen into Ai'er's hands, paving the way for him to unify the south, march north, and ascend the throne in one go.
So Al once joked privately that he would give a medal weighing one ton to the pirates and those Margarita authorities who were hesitant at the time - of course, many of them are already dead, so why not replace it with a tombstone weighing one ton!
I'm not kidding. Margarita did provide great help to El's subsequent series of plans. Not only did it deal a heavy blow to the Estalia's national salvation forces and greatly damaged the people's morale, it also made El see the weak nature of the other side when facing power.
......
Taylor never joined those people in causing trouble. The radical exiles tried to contact and win over the old captain several times, but were driven away by the latter, who told them not to disturb his life. Later, he even threatened the spies who came to his door that he would find a few blue hats from the Ministry of the Interior to guard him before the matter was settled.
He is very open-minded. Al is doing a good job, the country is thriving, and people's lives are constantly improving - that's enough!
As for the issue of faith... just like Galen, no matter when, even in the most desperate situation, they never gave up praying to the goddess, but Myrmidia did abandon them, and he did not see Celestine's miracle with his own eyes, so apart from the excitement when he first heard about it, he calmed down.
After all, the country is about to be destroyed and the race is about to be extinct. The miracle at this time is nothing more than the last stimulant, allowing people to struggle desperately - what have they done before?
But he was old after all and still nostalgic, so he did not formally join Ai'er's army and become a capable member of the United Kingdom like his other companions, "merchants", "scholars", "craftsmen" and "earls". Instead, he resigned from his position and returned home with honor. He wisely never publicly expressed his idea of "missing his homeland" to avoid causing displeasure.
Thoughts like lying down made the captain decide to end the rest of his life like that. He had no children and had been with the sea for most of his life. It was estimated that more semen had fallen into the sea than into women. Maybe after one of his pleasure sessions, a prostitute gave birth to an illegitimate child for him whose parents didn't even know about the child. But it didn't matter.
His honor was already enough for him to spend his old age in seclusion, but after Wilson's letter arrived, he saw that this promising younger generation had changed his mind, and the attitude of the Tyrells was indeed insatiable - even if the current family is not headed by the old patriarch, but Aiel has not completely overthrown and denied the past heritage of Estalia. Those colonies, those territories in the New World, were all won by the Estalias over the past hundred and fifty years, through burning, killing, looting, real swords and guns, and conspiracy!
It is the "second kingdom" of the Estalia people. Even Captain Taylor himself spent a long time traveling in the New World. They didn't help when the greenskin Tyrells came. Now that we are recovering after the war, they take advantage of the disappearance of the Invincible Fleet to come and attack us?
I want to eat up all the gains of the Estalia people's overseas development in one go! As long as it's not the exiles' "I'd rather be friends with a friendly country than with a usurper or hypnotize myself that the Tyrells are my neighbors for generations, and blood is thicker than water! I won't do anything too extreme, just give in a little, anyway, it's all the Beastmen's fault...
Anyone who still lives under the rule of the United Kingdom, even an anti-mainstream "Estalia patriot", will never approve of the Tirells' practice of taking advantage of the situation!
Chapter 39: Alina's Followers
According to Taylor's observation, Wilson's temperament, which made people feel "rigid", "serious" and "difficult to get along with" at first glance and could make people "stay away" when he opened his mouth, has softened greatly and become much more restrained. Now he looks like a young officer and naval captain who is slightly "up-and-coming".
"It seems that he has indeed found an excellent wife."
Taylor sighed in his heart that in just a year or so, a person who was as smelly and hard as a stone in a toilet pit has been transformed into a well-groomed, neither humble nor arrogant, and knows how to advance and retreat in moderation. This change can be said to be a "feat of heroism".
The old captain suddenly became curious about Wilson's wife, whom he had only heard of but never met. It had nothing to do with anything else. He just wanted to see what kind of woman was the one who could change Jan Byron Wilson.
However, the long hall was filled with palace attendants. Although Taylor wanted to have a face-to-face exchange with Wilson, whom he met for the first time in nearly a year, he thought that the seating arrangement must have been arranged by the court and that the seats were separated to prevent them from communicating in front of the venue. So, apart from a polite gesture when entering, the two did not even make eye contact afterwards.
Soon, the fully armed Silent Guards stepped into the long hall in combat boots. Taylor and Wilson immediately stood up. This group of tall, speechless warriors, like alchemical puppets, were El's eternal immortal guards. They only fought under the banner of the hexagram and followed El's orders only. Since he entered the Golden Palace, these warriors who symbolized the eternal God's chosen guards had never left the palace without his movement.
They are the most powerful warriors among mortals (beastmen) - people like the Centaur Girl are already the chosen champions of God and are no longer mortals.
Their strength and skills are both top-notch. After dedicating everything to El and binding their souls to their lord, El can even share his blessings with them, allowing them to gain powerful strength from the might of the four Chaos Mother Goddesses. They do not need training or experience, as they always master the most advanced combat skills.
Their appearance means only one thing.
"Deng deng deng"
The masked young man entered the long hall surrounded by his bodyguards. He did not take the first seat but walked quickly to the nearest seat, pulled out a chair and sat down. He seemed to be in a hurry.
Alna must be in a hurry.
I just came to a meeting and met my foster mother on the way—of course, it was a horse and not a sheep, otherwise he would definitely not be in such a hurry.
The Centaur girl was "tactful", of course, but actually she was no different from a straight shoot. She communicated with her adopted son for a while, and first praised him. El's fifth child, the pony Aria, was developing well in the central wilderness and was doing a good job, blah blah. El humbly flattered her, "She learned it from you, mother - you set a good example yourself!"
