The sun is high

These problems thrown out from Daswell's mouth obviously cannot be solved by just four people present.

As participants in this temporary meeting, what everyone can do is to use these topics to provide direction and reference for Dawn Society's next action strategy - this direction does not need to be specific and detailed, it is actually a vague Outline.

Such discussions can shed some light on the problems and dilemmas Dawn Society and its members are dealing with, and allow them to open up a larger space based on this.

As Daswell said, the situation of Dawn Society is not as optimistic as it seems.

As a new association in a turbulent period, the Dawn Society is under pressure not only from the Black Sun Society and the Kingdom of St. Steele, who are already clearly on the opposite side.

In the eyes of other countries and organizations, and even within the overall international environment, the existence of Dawn Society appears extremely subtle.

At first glance, the nature of this new association is somewhat similar to the rallies that miners used to rally each other and protest against the country and the government. However, this time, their organizers, organizational methods, scale and power exceeded all people’s expectations.

Although the miner army never received special attention when they were in the Kingdom of Votel, people really began to realize it when they left Votel's military system and fell under the jurisdiction of the Dawn Society. The importance of this matter.

Meticulously maintained and modified armored ships, as well as more convoys converted from other types of ships.

A heavily armed regiment consisting essentially of St. Steele men.

As well as organizers composed of important people from all over Van En and in various fields.

This is a situation that has never happened in the history of Van En. Although the scale of Dawn Society seems limited, in fact, it already has the strength to threaten some small principalities. This is why Grand Duke Bult decided to show Dawn Society Good and important reasons.

After some discussion, Shuge said: "In their eyes, we may be more like a mercenary group that has not yet figured out the specific purpose and action style, just like those in the past who used the name of association, but But in reality they are just like pirates who carry out smuggling and robbery activities..."

"Well, pirates...yeah, it sure feels like that."

Meyer nodded: "Although this name is very unpleasant and unpleasant, it does give us a sense of security more easily than names like Miners' Rally. At least we don't have to worry about our comrades. He was dragged away by soldiers who suddenly came to him while he was sleeping."

"Of course we should scare them, and that's not enough, the Miner Corps is just the beginning."

Daswell reached out and scratched his messy hair, and said: "I have been discussing with Felix these two days. We both believe that the refugees in Salem City who have lost their homes and cannot be accepted by other countries have Significant meaning and value.”

"Yes, we hope to keep these people. They are the most direct victims of the Black Sun Society's actions, and they are also abandoned by other countries... They are more likely to accept the ideas of the Dawn Society than others. , and also be able to better understand Dawn Society’s plans and ideas.”

Having said this, Felix paused for a moment, and then he sighed: "Furthermore, I think that our help to them should not stop at the moment, otherwise, we will become in emergency with the previous Salem City. The committee makes no difference.”

Daswell laughed, and he patted the young man on the shoulder: "Don't worry Felix, of course we will do that, step by step, no rush."

After saying that, he turned to look at Shuge: "Mr. Ernst probably hasn't finished what he said before. Please continue!"

So Xiuge continued: "Under the current circumstances, Dawn Society should further clarify the identity of the enemy, and this conclusion cannot only exist within Dawn Society, but also needs to become a clear conclusion to the outside world, and this conclusion In conclusion, others need to be able to trust.”

He looked at Daswell: "I know that when the Dawn Society was founded, there were many goals that it wanted to accomplish. The Black Sun Society and the Black Sun are just the most critical tasks at present... And now, we We need to use this most important task to dispel the hostility of other forces and people towards Dawn Society in the general environment."

"We need to find a way to let more people understand what the gods behind the Black Sun Society actually mean - they are definitely not a suitable partner for cooperation and compromise. Relatively speaking, the Dawn Society, which is their enemy, must It is more trustworthy. On this basis, Dawn Society will face less resistance in the future, and even gain more support from other kingdoms."

Felix frowned: "Sounds like a different kind of alliance?"

"No, not an alliance."

Meyer had obviously understood Shuge's thoughts. He shook his head and said: "At the moment, most of those who are willing to give us some convenience and help are just showing their goodwill and tentatively betting some chips on us. This This behavior stems from their political instincts and sense of smell and does not mean that they have become trustworthy and qualified allies."

Meyer's eyes drifted to the map aside: "If the Dawn Society wants to form an alliance or cooperate with a force, the premise must be that they really realize the huge threat represented by the Black Sun Society and are sincerely willing to fight against it... …So, we should probably focus on those principalities that are already in conflict with Saint Steele, as well as the residents and believers who are deeply persecuted by the Black Sun Society as the first batch of targets.”

As Meyer's old partner, Daswell immediately came to the map. The middle-aged man's eyes quickly scanned the map twice, and then he pressed his finger hard: "The Principality of Imop And the Principality of Black River, they are close to the northern border and were on the front line in dealing with Saint Steele's army. I am afraid that this place will also become an important target for the madmen of the Black Sun Society."

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh: "Of course, there is also our hometown and motherland..."

"I heard that there have been many rallies of different sizes in St. Steele. Many people are trying to resist the rule of the royal family. There seem to be riots and uprisings in some places."

"They are all brave people, but the Black Sun Society is destined not to let these situations expand further. You must know that the methods they have at their disposal are extremely difficult for even the mages of Merlin and Lehe..."

Time passed little by little in the heated discussion.

Initially, only four people including Shuge participated in this meeting. However, as time went by, more and more people were called here by Daswell and Meyer. Shuge was surprised to find that he was absorbed into the meeting. Dawn Society not only has outstanding talents among refugees like Felix, but also many members who were originally members of the Legal Committee and the Emergency Committee.

Wei Lin, who looked confused and still had some alchemy potion on her hands, was dragged over because Daswell needed a professional magic consultant to provide advice.

Sally, who was counting people at a refugee settlement, was "caught" because Meyer needed a diligent student to act as a clerk to organize the conclusions of the meeting.

Later, Xiuge saw more familiar faces, including the sword-wielding hermit Jeant who originally belonged to the Law Committee branch. This sword-wielder, who was strong and burly with a solemn face, now looked a little a little bit... Depressed and slightly decadent.

Through Jeante's demeanor, Shuge guessed that the reason why he chose to join the Dawn Society was probably because some new situations had arisen within Merlinle and the Legal Committee.

In this way, this seemingly impromptu meeting was quickly pushed to a climax by everyone. At noon, the scale of the meeting had expanded to more than a dozen people before it came to an end.

The participants who were called temporarily left one after another. Most of them were responsible for some important command work and could not leave their posts for too long.

Shuge and others who initially participated in the discussion, as well as Wei Lin and Sally who were called later, were all left behind.

At this time, Meyer came to the desk. He took out a cloth bag from a drawer, and then pulled out a thick stack of manuscript paper.

"This is?"

"It's our flag."

Meyer placed the manuscript paper in front of Shuge, and then vigorously shook his shoulders and waist, which were slightly stiff due to sitting for a long time: "Haven't you noticed yet? We don't have an official flag until now. The emblems are also temporarily designed and pieced together, and these are the call for submissions we launched for the official members of the Dawn Society."

Xiuge looked at the manuscript papers in his hand and laughed and said, "But I am proficient in novels, not paintings."

"I have said this before."

Wei Lin was sitting nearby. She carefully cleaned the traces of alchemy potions on her hands while saying, "However, Mr. Professor insists on hearing your opinion. He believes that talents in certain fields are connected."

After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves, summoned a magic water ball, and inserted her hands directly into it.

However, Weilin did not completely look away. Apparently she also wanted to hear Xiuge's opinion on these flag patterns.

Seeing that everyone was waiting, Xiuge had no choice but to look through the manuscripts honestly.

They have obviously gone through a round of screening, but the remaining submissions are still very complicated, probably because the contributors have different backgrounds. The fields covered by these flag patterns and their styles can be said to be extremely wide. In addition to various contributions from different In addition to the representative animals and plants of the region, Shuge can also see emblems from various different widespread faiths, or symbols that represent different groups of people.

After flipping through silently for a while, Shuge picked out some of them and placed them on the table.

Everyone came together one after another, and then they discovered that the items picked out by Xiuge were basically classic symbolic items.

"Although our association is named after dawn, the so-called 'dawn' and 'dawn' are actually the ultimate goal and ideal of our struggle... Therefore, I think the colors and patterns related to the sun are best used as the background color of the flag. And the bottom pattern.”

Seeing that what Shuge said seemed to be really professional, Daswell, who was looking through the minutes of the meeting, also came over. At the same time, he instinctively took out a cigarette and lit it, and even gave it to Meyer and Felix. Got one.

Xiuge originally wanted to reach out to pick it up, but an inexplicable cold feeling came from the side, so he adjusted his movements in time, pointed his finger at the manuscript paper on the table, and then said: "I think our flag is the first It should be broadly representative, I mean, it needs to be able to represent everyone in Dawn Society...at least the vast majority of people."

"Interesting idea, nice!"

"So you mean to combine and splice these symbols together?"

"Roughly the same."

Shuge gave an example: "If we want to represent the miners, we can use the mining pickaxe pattern; if we want to represent the workshop workers, we can use metal gears as the frame of the emblem... Of course, the symbols of soldiers, mages, and scholars can also They should exist, and they should be integrated into a whole, just like the Dawn Society we expected."

When Shuge said these words, Meyer had already started writing. He recorded all these words word for word. Then he laughed and patted Shuge on the shoulder: "I have long since As I said, these things are common, and Mr. Sugar’s opinion is very important...Okay, I will inform Mikhail right now, and he will definitely be interested in drawing an official flag for us!"

After saying that, Meyer strode out. As Meyer's student and secretary, Sally had to quickly pack up her things. After sticking out her tongue at Shuge and Weilin, she hurriedly chased after him. Go up.

Seeing that his mission seemed to be completed, Shuge was about to get up and leave, but at this moment, Daswell stopped him and Wei Lin.

"Please wait a moment, both of you. Regarding the conclusion of our meeting today, I have some things I would like to ask your opinions on."

As he spoke, Daswell dragged the chair over, then he closed the door to the room and said to the two of them in a lower tone: "We need some people to go to the North, or in other words, to St. Steele." .”

Wei Lin frowned immediately: "Mr. Daswell, you know very well that that place is already under the control of the Black Sun Society."

"Yes, I know it very well, so I need to seek your opinions."

Daswell's conversational style is so direct. He did not conceal anything or be polite, and said directly: "I have learned about the experiences of the two of you some time ago. Among spellcasters, you are familiar with the Black Sun Society and have There are so few people who understand those strange powers... Only people like these two can truly move freely in the northern territory today."
