Chapter 274 Flag, Territory Expansion
After the Legion's individual ability competition, the rangers had their own emblems for identification purposes.
With the green of grass as the base, there is a sharp blade painted on it, which is the standard steel sword equipped by rangers and soldiers.
When the coat of arms was finalized and the flag was produced, each ranger company had an additional "flag bearer" position, who would defend the glory of the Roadside Fort Blade.
At the same time, they will also prove to the world that this force, which has been developing for more than ten years, is no longer the so-called "new sprout in the roadside fort."
But——
"The sharp blade of the roadside fort."
But speaking of emblems...
Levi felt a headache when he saw the blank flag with his name printed on it that the caravan was still using, as well as the same emblem that the school was also using.
This flag with only his name on it is now not only his personal emblem, but also the emblem of power representing Roadside Fort, Riverside Fort, and even all the cities in the Free City-State.
“It’s time to design a new one.”
After taking opinions from many parties, Levi selected a design.
With the flawless star of the netherworld as the main center, surrounded by the sky full of stars, representing other territories and allies from all sides.
This will be the emblem and flag of the Free City-State in the future.
The coat of arms of the roadside fort is derived from it, with more flowers and vines around the edges.
The flowers are the small red flowers that the iron golem gives out from time to time, and the vines are the vines used as decorations on Levi's castle (in fact, he often climbs up and down from the windows).
Next is the shipyard and city of River Corner, which is symbolized by the river, the flagship and the beacon beam above it.
From then on, the monotonous flag with only Levi's name on it was retired, and this widely circulated emblem truly became Levi's personal emblem, which could only be used by himself and those authorized by him.
Or, there are those who don’t know and have no way of knowing these things.
There is a separate box at the end of Taber's notes, in which is Levi's name, or rather, it was the emblem of the roadside fort.
On this day, Levi drew a new coat of arms of Roadside Castle on the last page and wrote his own name below.
“This is to commemorate the deceased.”
The new news was quickly brought to other territories.
In fact, except for the territories built directly by Levi, other territories have their own flags.
Needless to say, River Valley City and Long Lake Town are both old towns that existed before the establishment of the Free City-State.
The town that needs a new design is Dalu Town, which was built in recent years. Of course, its logo has been designed long ago. It is a parked cart, simple and unpretentious, which fits its overall situation and function quite well.
River Valley City, Long Lake Town, and Dalu Town all have their own emblems, and the entire River Valley Administrative District also has an emblem that represents it as a whole, which is a sword and a bow connected together on flames, and it has great commemorative significance.
The sword is the elven sword used by Levi, and the bow is the yew bow used by Bard.
Finally, there is the town of Carr where the Beorn clan live. The symbol of this place is a fat bee and a giant bear.
The coat of arms of each territory may seem to be numerous and troublesome, but usually these coats of arms are only used privately when there is a need to distinguish between territories.
In any case, the emblem representing the highest authority has now appeared, or should we say has been replaced.
The name of Levi was changed to the more official "Starry Emblem" - the latter being a spoken name derived from the update of the emblem.
"I thought you planned to use that private crest with only your name for the rest of your life."
In River Valley City, Bard was making tea, and he didn't know how many times he poured a cup for Levi.
Still the same old taste.
"Okay, okay, this isn't a redesign."
Levi took a sip of tea and let out a long sigh.
This is also a matter of caution.
“This should have been done a long time ago.”
Bud was still busy with something.
After pouring the tea, he went to get some snacks, such as biscuits, cakes, and toffee mixed with almonds.
"That's a lot of food."
Levi picked up a few and tasted them, and they all tasted very authentic.
"These are all the foods that Bain loved to eat when he was a child. But now he is a mature warrior. Not only does he go home less often, he also doesn't eat the foods he used to love."
Bud picked up a piece of almond candy, chewed it, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"Mm, it smells good."
Levi also took a piece and put it in his mouth.
“It’s really good.”
He praised and continued to pick up other snacks.
Suddenly, I glanced and saw a white hair of Bud.
"Hey, that hair of yours is really eye-catching."
Bud looked in the direction Levi pointed, smoothed up his hair, and sure enough, saw a white and shiny hair mixed in.
Pop.
He pulled out the white hair directly.
“Not anymore.”
Bud raised his hand and let the white hair fall to the ground and hide in the ashes.
Levi smiled.
“It’s really gone.”
I just smiled and couldn't eat the snack in my hand.
Bud...is not young anymore.
His son Bain is already in his thirties.
"Bain is a nice guy."
Levi casually mentioned, "He performed very well in the battle of Donglinwan last year and was awarded the Outstanding Ranger Medal."
Eastwood Bend - a wasteland cleared by the ancient men of Rhovanion, near Dol Guldur.
According to the report, when the rangers were exploring the ruins of East Forest Bend, it was Bayin who first discovered the nearby group of Orcs and alerted everyone. He then took the lead in resisting the raid launched by the Orcs, and later led his men to counterattack and clear out all the nearby Orcs.
"I know he did a pretty good job on that one."
Bud was somewhat relieved.
“He’s really grown up.”
After expressing his feelings about his son's growth, Bud thought of another thing:
"By the way, I just wanted to talk to you about Donglinwan."
"I think we can make use of the nearby ruins of the Kingdom of Rhovanion. At least we can build an outpost there first. This will be very helpful for us to continue to expand southward in the future."
"Also, if all goes well in the next few years, a new transportation route can be built. This route can safely connect the River Valley, Carr Town, Rohan, and Gondor."
That is to say, once it is completed, people will be able to travel directly to Gondor from the Valley.
"Tell me more."
Levi was quite interested.
So Bud took out the map and pointed to a place.
"The North River Trap and the South River Trap are located on the east side of the northern plateau of Rohan. Both places are within the Brown Land. In history, Gondor and Rohan used these places as transit points for their armies many times."
“They can also serve as transit points for transportation.”
If these two places could be occupied, not only would a new route be established, allowing people in the valley to travel directly and safely to Rohan and then to Gondor by land, but the town of Carr could also send ships directly to Rohan via the Anduin River.
It can also monitor the movements of the Brown Land and even the Black Gate.
Li Wei agreed immediately: "Okay, let's do it."
However, Bard still raised a small doubt: "Both the North and South Rivers are on the border of Rohan. Will they have any objections?"
"Well, their old king is dead."
"I'm quite familiar with the new king, Senger. He's a nice guy. At worst I can go and say hello to him."
"Just do it, and leave the rest to me."
"As long as it's reasonable, I can guarantee that there won't be any hindrance."
Levi's words made Bud feel quite relieved.
