While eating, little Annie did not forget to say vaguely: "Thank you, daddy, thank you, daddy!"
After finishing the dessert, Sean wiped little Annie's greasy mouth while announcing to her the good news he had just decided, "Your mother and I have decided to go on a trip."
"Travel?" Little Annie's eyes shone, "Where to go? Where to go? Can you take a tractor? Can you take a boat? Or ride a black collar and a sacred feather? Can Annie go? Can you take Annie with you? Annie
Promise to be obedient and never mess up."
"Of course we have to take our baby Annie." Sean smiled and said, "This was originally a birthday gift for you. Where does Annie want to go most?"
"The cabin in the mountains, Annie wants to visit the secret base where her father used to be when he was a child." Annie replied without thinking.
The secret base of Sean's mountain hut in Andis Crater when he was a child is not just Sean's memory, but the memory of many people.
Most of these people are fathers and mothers, and sometimes they get emotional and can't help but talk to their children about the beautiful memories of their childhood.
After little Annie overheard it, she was very interested. She pestered Sean and told her stories about his childhood so many times that she never got tired of hearing it.
Having your own secret base seems to be every child's dream.
Little Annie was no exception. After hearing this story, like a little mouse, she crawled around the northern fortress and built her own secret base.
But he is still full of curiosity about his father's secret base.
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I can't go. Dad's original mountain hut was located in an ancient river. After the Jacobs River reflowed, it was completely submerged. Now there is nothing left after being washed away by the river." Sean was a little confused.
Regret spreads hands.
While the Eternal Night Army is developing and growing, some things are destined to only exist in memory.
Perhaps because these only exist in memory, after years of precipitation, people will beautify themselves over and over again in their minds, making them feel more and more precious.
"Has it been destroyed?" Little Annie's face was full of disappointment.
"Although it has been destroyed in reality, dad has rebuilt it in the consciousness space. As long as you follow the plan dad gave you and work hard, you will be able to enter it in a few years. Dad will take you there as soon as possible.
Do you like it?" Sean didn't want to see his daughter disappointed.
"That will take a long time." Little Annie's mood failed to fully recover.
"Is there anywhere else Annie wants to go?" Sean changed the subject.
"The palace, my mother's former palace." Anne suggested another location.
"I'm afraid this won't work, the palace is not in our plan this time." Sean shook his head.
"Why not? Isn't that mom's home?" Little Annie was full of doubts.
Even home is sometimes hard to return to.
This issue is still too complicated for little Annie. No matter how precocious and intelligent she is, she is only a child under two years old and has no way of understanding the interests of the adult world.
"Didn't Annie always want to take a big boat? This time we not only want to take a big boat, but also go out along the river to see the endless sea." Sophia Liya came to Sean's rescue.
"Take a boat! The sea! I want to see it!" Little Annie's attention was immediately diverted, "How big is the big boat? Is it bigger than our house?"
"Big, much bigger. Annie will have her own houseboat on the boat."
"The houseboat? Really? It's so good. I really want to see it right away."
"Be patient and wait. Remember what I told you before, prepare accordingly when traveling far away? You can prepare in advance now."
"Yeah! Annie is going to take the bear family and the dragon family..."
"Toys are not allowed."
"Ah...why can't I take it with me?"
"We are traveling, not moving. Leave your toys and travel, or stay at home with your toys, your choice."
"Okay, Annie is going on a trip, but can you let Annie take a few with her?"
"How many are there?"
"A few are just a few."
"Speak clearly, or you won't be allowed to bring any of them."
"Five."
"It's a beautiful idea, but I can only bring one."
"Four."
"one."
"Three."
"You'd better stay home."
"One, just bring one."
…
Sean smiled as he watched the mother and daughter enter the bargaining stage.
Compared to Sophia Liya, I am still an amateur.
With just a few words, Sophia Liya would drag little Annie into her own rhythm, instead of being dragged along by little Annie's jumping thoughts like herself.
Three days later, Sean's family of three embarked on a tour of the territory.
They did not ride on convenient aerial mounts, or even on underground magic tractors. Instead, they used the most primitive way of traveling, riding mounts.
This is one of the ways to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Going deep into the people, understanding the lives of the residents at the bottom of the Yongye Army, and showing a close-to-the-people attitude is the second one.
Sean also has two real purposes.
The first one to place the heroic soul flags everywhere, the Eternal Night Army leads medium-sized and above towns, collects as many dead souls as possible in the territory, and replenishes the supply of soldiers in the second world.
Originally, it was more appropriate to use energy pipes with the Heroic Soul Banner.
However, it is not something that can be done overnight if energy pipes are to be spread all over military leaders.
This method can only be used as a temporary replacement.
Of course, it is impossible for Sean to visit all the towns under the Yongye Army. He will only hold flag-presenting ceremonies in the capital cities he passes along the way to publicize the meanings of these flags. Establish a local headquarters and the rest will be done.
Sub-stations are left to local officials.
This kind of heroic spirit military flag that is permanently stationed in a place is somewhat different from the heroic spirit military flag that accompanies the army.
The Heroic Soul Army Flag that is permanently stationed at a certain place can be used to enhance the coverage range and absorption strength of the Heroic Spirit Army Flag by building a large base.
They can even be arranged in sets, covering each other without any dead ends.
The low-level Heroic Soul Banner actively transports the dead souls to the high-level Heroic Soul Banner for subsequent centralized transport to the second world.
As a result, the amount of investment in the power of law will naturally be greatly increased.
It is normal to put the power of three to five thousand laws into a base of a slightly larger scale.
However, if you want the second world to develop and grow, the power of the later output law will be more, which is a necessary early investment.
It is true that only with input can there be output.
Sean naturally understands, and once he determines the feasibility, he does not hesitate to invest.
Only the power of law that is used is meaningful, otherwise no matter how much you hold, it will be just a useless number.
The power of law that the second world receives in large amounts every day will be spent at a terrifying speed.
The second purpose of this trip is to take little Annie to see this land that has not been ravaged by war, leaving a beautiful memory and helping me make up my mind.
This decision is really difficult to make. Once made, countless people will be involved in the continuous flames of war.
Looking at the entire development process of the Yongye Military Leader, it can be seen that Sean is a relatively passive person. Compared with war, he prefers to use peace and trade to solve problems, and actively promotes racial integration, trying to make
All people and all forces can live in harmony and develop together.
This personality is of course influenced by previous lives.
After all, his character was shaped by education in a peaceful and harmonious society. The concept of the fifty-six ethnic groups promoted by the flower growers as one family is deeply rooted in people's hearts, at least in Sean's heart.
Unknowingly, it influenced a group of people.
If this pace of development was limited to the Ashan continent, there would be no problem.
According to their current development speed, give them another thirty to fifty years. After they are in a situation of being crushed in all aspects, they will then use the inheritance rights obtained by Sophilia's identity to swallow up the Byron Alliance, and then look forward to the development of the entire Ashan continent.
Unification is a matter of course.
But when we know that there are more ferocious enemies outside who are eyeing them, this pace is too slow and there are too many variables.
They must unite all the forces that can be united as much as possible before the real enemy comes, and develop and strengthen themselves as much as possible.
Rather than the constant internal friction like now.
Share the news about the plane war, so that the rulers of all forces can understand the situation, reach a consensus, form an alliance, and jointly deal with the enemy.
It’s not like Sean hasn’t considered this method.
But there are a series of problems there.
The first problem is, how to make them believe that the information Sean shared is true? Rather than a conspiracy?
Even if they believe it is true? How to solve the existing contradictions and problems?
The Theodin Empire's large-scale southward invasion was neither for land nor revenge, but for survival.
The famine in their eyes is threatening them.
Do they still expect them to let their tribesmen starve to death in droves for the sake of the so-called overall situation?
Obviously no one can be so selfless.
Rather than worrying about the failure of the plane war, it is better to think of ways to survive until the plane war comes.
As for uniting with the new royal family, there is one immediate problem.
Is that the leader of the new royal family and their leader of the Evernight Army?
The leader of the Evernight Army leads the new royal family?
Leave the fate of yourself and your territory in their hands.
This is something Sean can't stand.
This leadership must be in your own hands.
I'm afraid the rulers of the new royal family will think so too.
In the end, the solution to the problem is war.
Sean and Sophia Liya set off from the northern fortress and followed the mountain road to the territory of New Brissan.
On the way, they passed several major surface transfer stations for magic tractors, and felt the unique atmosphere of vigorous development of the Yongye Army.
Before the underground magic tractor was built, due to the complex terrain and constant traffic, most of the places here were poor places with nothing to do.
Now it has become a unique land for city building. It won't take long for new towns to develop based on these transfer stations.
Then they stayed for a few days in the Andis Mountain People's Reserved Residential Area and the Kentana People's Hunting Gathering Area, reliving the unique hunting culture here.
As the Yongye Army grows and develops, the internal lifestyle becomes more and more diversified.
Some people are able to adapt to the rapid development pace of the Yongye Army and integrate into a new life.
Some people are unable to adapt and still maintain their original pace of life, living a life of half fishing, hunting, and half farming, with a relatively slow pace of life.
In this general environment and background, the half-fishing, hunting, and half-farming life today is still very different from that of twenty years ago.
Many things have been integrated into the lives of the local people unconsciously and become a part of them, and they are accustomed to it.
The most typical ones are martial arts routines and primary combat skills.
This method, which can intuitively change their lives, is very easy to promote.
"Dad is a big liar. He promised to take Annie to hunt." Little Annie, who was sitting in Sean's arms, almost pouted to the sky, and her dissatisfaction was evident.
"It's not that dad doesn't want to take you there, but the weather is not beautiful, with heavy rain for several days, making the mountains extremely dangerous. Next time, dad will definitely find an opportunity to make up for it," Sean argued.
According to the original plan, Sean planned to regain his original hunting skills in the Kentana people's hunting gathering area, and take his wife and daughter on a wild hunt to satisfy little Annie's strong curiosity in this area.
Unexpectedly, the weather was unfavorable and the continuous heavy rain completely disrupted their plan. Although Sean was now very confident in his own force, he would not be afraid even if he encountered a mudslide.
But he won't take risks with his precious daughter.
After all, they are not serious about traveling. They have a relatively tight itinerary and cannot change it at will.
Missed plans can only be cancelled.
It's very difficult for little Annie to understand this matter.
The father and daughter have been at odds over this matter and have been grinding their teeth for a long time.
Of course, Sean knew that diverting attention was a good way to deal with little Annie, but he didn't do it because bickering with his daughter was a kind of fun.
"Lord, we have arrived at Jianling Ridge. The leader of the mountain patrol team has already led his people to wait in front." Bart, the captain of Sean's guards, rode back to preach.
"I got it." Sean tidied up little Annie's appearance and warned in a low voice, "Don't mess up later, otherwise you will be punished by your mother, and I will not intercede for you."
"I know, I know, I really don't understand that you adults, acting every day, aren't you tired? Isn't this the end of it?"
Such old-fashioned arguments would mean nothing if applied to adults.
But when it came out of the mouth of a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll and was only three or four years old, it made people laugh.
There was a muffled sound all around, and the lord's guards looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
What's even more miraculous is that little Annie seems to be proficient in the magic of face-changing, with a sweet smile on her pink and jade face, looking up at Sean, as cute as she wants.
Sean was also a little stunned. When did his daughter gain the attribute of being a drama queen?
If the evildoer becomes this virtuous now, how many years longer will he be able to cure him?
No wonder Sophia Liya tightens her reins so tightly.
