The Lember Guards soon became Cecilia's personal guard.

Sean did not object to this, and Clov was certainly even less likely to object. A secret agreement between them was that Clov was not to mention anything about the Duchy of Rumber to Cecilia, and even the name of the army had to be changed, and no word Rumber was allowed.

So in the end, the name of this army was changed to Cecilia's Guard.

Cecilia herself was of course surprised that she suddenly and inexplicably had a personal guard, especially Clov, the commander of the personal guard, she had never seen it, and it must be false if she was not curious. It's just that she turned around and asked several times but couldn't ask anything, so Cecilia had no choice but to give up, and Sean would definitely not harm her anyway, so she accepted this arrangement.

However, under normal circumstances, Cecilia's personal guards would only be responsible for garrisoning the Black Swan Castle, and would only consider accompanying this elite army unless there was a plan that required Cecilia to travel far away. Of course, Clov knew that he was not completely accepted by Sean, as if he didn't trust Sean very much, but everyone knew this kind of thing, so there was no need to say it completely, anyway, neither side would be unfavorable to each other at the moment.

It's just that right now, Cecilia's personal guards still have a very important task, so important that Sean has to temporarily let them stay in the barracks, and even buy a new set of equipment for them.

Cecilia's personal guard, which has been replaced with new equipment, does not look like a rabble or bandits, at least in terms of spirit, it is indeed more like a real elite army. And Sean and William also further understand the combat capabilities of the entire unit by replacing equipment for this elite unit - Cecilia's personal guard has a total of 427 people, except for a deputy commander appointed by Clove and Clov. There were four hundred and twenty-five soldiers capable of fighting.

Among them, there are 120 shield guards with shields and guns, 100 longbowmen who can easily shoot arrows to a limit distance of 500 meters, 60 swordsmen who are known as cavalry nemesis, 60 spear throwers who can fight from a distance and close combat with short spears, and 60 heavy shield infantry who have been focusing on defense for 30 years. And the last twenty people are night watchmen, which is a kind of scout professional branch in this world, but this kind of scout is not known for its combat effectiveness, and can only conduct short-distance vigilance and reconnaissance when the troops are marching.

But from this point. It can be seen that this unit is worthy of the four words "complete arms" that are systematically evaluated. It's just that the more complex the army, the more difficult it is to learn war skills, of course, if it weren't for this reason, I'm afraid this army would be a fifth-level army, not a fourth-level army - although the difference between aces and elites is only one level. However, the combat effectiveness represented by the two sides is completely different.

Sean needs. It's this army that comes to fill the façade.

For this. He had to ask William to make other plans ahead of time, such as relocating the entire army that Vivien had given him to Panda for the initial repairs, which would later become his first military installation. And the military facilities of Void City have also been basically completed, and they can already allow the White Wing mercenaries to settle in first, and naturally they have officially changed their names to the Void City City Defense Guards.

And so it goes. The remodeled barracks could hold more than 2,000 Steel Wings and more than 400 Cecilia Guards.

Time continues to pass quietly, and does not stop at the will of man.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

The official diplomatic corps from the Boulder family has finally arrived in Panda.

Just as Sean and William had expected. This time, the troops responsible for protecting the legation were composed of three hundred tequila black guards and seven hundred tequila cavalry. As we all know, the full number of agave cavalry is three thousand, while the agave black guard is only one thousand, although the combat effectiveness of the two is almost the same, but the agave black guard is a mobile heavy infantry, and the agave cavalry is a light cavalry, in terms of the aboriginal ideas on the miracle continent, heavy infantry and heavy cavalry are more cost-effective, so they will despise the agave cavalry.

But if Sean were to choose, he would definitely give up the Tequila Black Guard and expand the size of the Tequila cavalry to 10,000 instead. You must know that the annual military expenditure of a thousand tequila blackguards is equivalent to three thousand agave cavalry, whether in terms of number or quality, the value of agave cavalry is higher than that of agave blackguards, and Sean really can't figure out what Duke Hatch is thinking.

In addition to the 1,000 convoys, they were accompanied by a diplomatic corps of seven men, led by a member of the Boulder family, who held the title of earl. In addition, there are eight gold-level powerhouses - the Boulder family sent half of the gold-level powerhouses of the entire family to accompany them, which not only shows the heritage of the Boulder family, but also shows the tough attitude and momentum that a kingdom's high-ranking nobles should have.

The information from all sides was quickly gathered into William's hands through many ways, and Sean, as the lord, was naturally the first to know the Tao.

"What a dismount." After looking through all the intelligence information, Beth glanced at Sean with some surprise, "You, like Andrew, are really good at getting into trouble." …… But the two of you are a little different, Andrew will follow wherever he goes to trouble, and you are a little deliberate to cause trouble. ”

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course." Bess said without hesitation, "The former is passive, the latter is active." It's the same as masochism, Andrew has to resist this pumping, and you ...... But he took the initiative to find abuse. Essentially, you have very serious masochistic tendencies. ”

The people in Sean's inner circle in the tent all let out a good-natured laugh.

Through the contact in the past two months, they have already discovered that Bes's mouth is particularly poisonous. So normally, they are able to resolutely not communicate with Bess without communicating with him, and only Sean will continue to ask him if there is a difference?

This is indeed some kind of masochism.

"I have no choice." Sean sighed helplessly, "I have to keep looking for trouble to provoke a war between the two countries." But in this trouble-making process, I still have to do everything I can to stand firm, at least not to make the other party think that I am too unreasonable or something. Otherwise, Asuna won't be able to save me. A strong man like you will not understand the sorrow of a little person like me. ”

"Every strong person also grows up from weakness." Bess glanced at Sean and said meaningfully, "So, picking the right opponent can have excellent results." …… You picked the wrong opponent from the start, so you're stuck here now. However, I finally understand why Andrew admires you, and it's not just because you're fellow countrymen. ”

"What's that for?" Sean was a little dazed.

With Andrew's kind of strong, if not for the sake of his fellow countrymen. What reason does he have to help himself? The principle of equivalent exchange? Then there is no need to wake up Bess at all, the space that was given to him in the first place to store the ring and those divine power crystals is enough.

"For friends." Beth whispered, "Your beliefs and ideas are very close to Andrew's. ”

Sean was thoughtful.

Three days later. The diplomatic corps of the Boulder family has finally officially arrived in Void City.

In today's Void City, the outer walls of the city are almost finished. However, it still takes about one to two months to make the final trimming. This is a necessary means for almost all cities in this world to be built. This is also because Sean has transferred people to leave Void City, otherwise it would probably take less than forty days to completely complete the outer walls of Void City.

Of course, compared to the construction of the outer city wall, the inside of the Void City is really very empty. Although the boundaries of several areas have been demarcated, and the inner walls of the innermost circle have been built, there are no buildings at all in many places, just empty lots. The only completed buildings are the Temple of the Goddess of Ice and Winter and the Lord's Mansion where Neil will be located.

Strictly speaking, the entire Void City has only just finished building a mold now.

However, when he saw the reasonable planning and architectural distribution, the gaze of the Earl of the Boulder family seemed a little deep.

Where Sean greets him. It's in the City Lord's Mansion.

Although the entire city lord's mansion has been completed, the scaffolding on the outer wall and the scaffolding in the mansion have not been dismantled, so naturally there is no decoration, and even the smell of logs is in the air. However, because of the arrival of the envoys of Zhilu Dao, the City Lord's Mansion still deliberately vacated a large room as a meeting room, which has been covered with a red carpet and placed a rectangular table and a dozen chairs, in addition to some relatively simple arrangements.

But that's about it.

The negotiation between the two sides is in this conference room, but not many people can actually enter this room.

Only seven diplomats were allowed to enter on the Boulder family's side, and on Sean's side, in addition to him, the lord, who had to be present, William, Neil, and Cecilia were also present. Alfred, Rena, Clov and the others were not good at negotiating, so it was useless to come, so they naturally stayed in the barracks and the Void City, but Clov took about fifty people from the personal guard to protect the City Lord's Mansion.

And the eight gold-level powerhouses of the Boulder family, although they did not enter the conference room, they were also standing in the corridor outside the conference room.

Of course, the one who stayed with these eight gold-level powerhouses was naturally the bass sitting on the coffin.

In the face of Bess alone, the eight gold-level powerhouses all looked like they were facing a great enemy, and they didn't even dare to come out. If before coming here, the eight gold-level powerhouses still felt that it was a bit of a fuss, then at this moment, they would not think so at all, and even felt that the original idea of the Boulder family to use them to create pressure on the lord Sean would probably be ruined because of this.

Unlike the atmosphere outside the hallway, where it was almost impossible to breathe, the atmosphere in the conference room was just as tense, but at least the looks of both sides seemed much more relaxed. (To be continued.) )
