Chapter 130 Nightguard Reorganization

Margaret was an orphan. Her growing environment and the discrimination she suffered from mixed races made her childhood quite ugly, and it also made her overly wary of most "human beings".

When ordinary children were still being cared for by their parents, she realized that only the winner of the competition had more resources and a higher probability of surviving.

In the past, she was recruited by the Green Vines Kingdom's intelligence agency, the predecessor of Sparrow, and trained as a spy.

At that time, Margaret also stood out from her peers by relying on this kind of active self-expression and a sense of competition that was never far behind.

This kind of growth experience made Margaret look like a fighter, with a sense of competition far greater than a sense of cooperation.

Only by defeating everyone around you and becoming the best, can you feel a little more secure.

And from an ordinary spy, she seized the opportunities of wars and climbed up to be the left minister of the empire eventually, which made her firmly believe that her ideas were not wrong.

This is the correct and most suitable path for her.

So she was always competing with Angelina, and she didn't care that she had no friends or acquaintances in the capital.

Reason allows her to cooperate with colleagues in the military and political order. Still, in her heart, she never thought of making friends with like-minded people, never thought of relying on anyone.

Empress Eternal Night is the sun in her eyes, she pursues zealously but doesn't rely on it.

She just wanted to become Her Majesty's most trusted subject, to prove her worth.

This was Margaret's short life.

Seemingly brilliant and exciting, from an orphan to a prime minister, the journey is magnificent and smooth, and it is an achievement that many people envy...

But the loneliness and hard work along the way are not something ordinary people can bear. Margaret's deep-rooted sense of competition made her very tired.

Always running, for fear of falling behind others.

Because the worthless little devil will be abandoned, and then wither and die...

But in the cabinet, Angelina always overwhelmed her.

Before she knew it, surpassing Angelina was Margaret's biggest obsession, a chaotic desire that would overwhelm reason from time to time.

Commonly known as hotheaded, it leads to a great decline in judgment.

This seems to be a sequela brought about by the demon's chaotic bloodline. Her supernatural powers are not as good as her days, and her intelligence is not as good as her hormones.

As a result, the more impatient she was, the more she was suppressed by Angelina.

Later, there was also Roger's silent rise, and he became a very trusted subject of The Queen of Eternal Night and even faintly surpassed herself.

This made Margaret even more uncomfortable!

It was agreed to go on the road in a 1v1 battle with a real woman, but she was already forced to shrink under the tower and grow up wretchedly.

As a result, the blue-haired Virgin was still shaking people crazily, and Ueno directly fit together and crazily jumped over her tower.

In this kind of situation, who will not be angry, who will not despair, who will not collapse?

Although Angelina never thought of targeting Margaret, she just focused on doing her own thing well.

But the small ceiling fan always aims to surpass the people around her and there is pent-up anger in her heart.

Because of this anger, she was willing to let go of her pride and take the initiative to seek Dio as an ally.

If the opponent didn't follow the routine, she could only call the jungle.

That's why Margaret gave Dio breakfast continuously.

However, the breakfast was delivered after almost a week, and the chat was good, but she never said the request for "alliance".

At first, she felt that the time was not ripe, and the friendship between the two of them was not in place. In the past two days, she had worries and hesitation that she didn't understand.

After all, Dio treated her very well, and he treated Angelina well.

They seemed to maintain a neutral attitude of not helping each other.

For a commoner who entered the cabinet not long ago, this attitude is quite normal. There is no need to get involved in such disputes. With a commoner background, he simply cannot bear the strife between the two factions.

It was precisely this realization that made Margaret even more hesitant, for fear that she would be mercilessly rejected if she wanted to ally with Dio.

As long as I procrastinate and don't speak, eat and chat normally, I will never be ashamed!

But holding on like this is not always the solution.

Giving up like this, Margaret was not reconciled.

The Charles siblings are putting more and more pressure on her. Recently, there is news that The Queen of Eternal Night plans to promote Roger to Duke.

Although the current duke no longer has a vast land, it is also a kind of honor and recognition, representing the Queen's award...

I haven't become a duke yet, the Charles family is about to become a double duke.

Margaret was very angry and worried.

She was afraid that Angelina would take off in a wave and suppress her crazily, so she felt that she needed an ally who could advance and retreat together and help each other. Not to mention overthrowing Angelina, at least she could protect herself.

In this way, I was ready to speak every day, but I came to Dio to eat together every day and chatted all over the world, but in the end, I didn't mention the core topic.

This situation is awkward.

Also because of the "embarrassment", Margaret's self-confidence that she thought she could easily win over Dio with her charm at first dissipated little by little.

If you hesitate, you will lose.

Then the more afraid of defeat, the more hesitant.

The only thing Margaret can confirm at this moment is that eating breakfast, and chatting with Dio, will put her in a good mood.

Lord Dio knows a lot, speaks interestingly, and looks very pleasing to the eye.

As long as you find a topic that both parties are interested in, the atmosphere will still be very lively, as if you are speaking with a very familiar friend...

Etc.

Whenever this happens, Margaret feels helpless, as she has no friends.

In her memory, she eats alone, reads alone, gets sick alone, and faces every difficult decision alone...

Only here with Dio, having a simple breakfast and casually discussing topics made her feel extra comfortable.

Most of the time, she was the one who asked Dio for advice, and she always got a good answer.

Occasionally, she would talk about the exclusive information she possessed, or share some of her little emotions. Dio was not disgusted or impatient.

Of course, there was no intentional relief or explanation, but there are some words, as long as you say them, you will feel a lot better.

This feeling was something Margaret had never experienced since she was a child.

It's just five breakfasts for five days, but for Margaret, it's already a segment worth imprinting in her mind over and over again.

The angle at which the sunlight shines on the dining table, the fresh smell in the room, the simple but comfortable furnishings, and the casual but graceful movements of Mr. Dio opposite, the topics they talk about...

She seems to like the feeling of eating together like this.

She seems to hope that this state can be maintained forever.

The little half-blood devil raised her head, and Dio could be seen faintly from the window, flipping through some documents.

It would be great if time could stop at this moment forever.

She finally understood that the reason she hesitated to propose an alliance was that she was afraid that if she was rejected, she would not even have the chance to have a simple meal together.

In that way, she will lose the chance to be the first one to have a "friend".

"Maybe this is fate..."

Margaret withdrew her gaze with a complicated expression.

Anyways, I've been alone for so long that I've already gotten used to it. Even if I don't have friends, I won't feel uncomfortable.

That's right, Brave Mary can solve all the problems by herself!

So when I come to eat again tomorrow, I have to talk to Dio about the alliance. At worst, I will be rejected, and then I will be treated as an ordinary colleague...

Well, tomorrow, definitely next time!

...

Outside the city of mystery is the Hall of Stars.

This is not only the altar where the oath of glory is made but also the residence of the Night Guard.

And the Night Guards also took on the task of defending the Hall of Stars to prevent it from being destroyed, so those interested can use this to influence the empire's nobles.

After more than a month, the Dark Night Guard has continuously recruited strong civilians and military elites and has now expanded to a scale of 5,000 people, with a total of four brigades.

The proportion of strong men has decreased, but the newly recruited soldiers are all professionals, and the proportion of magicians exceeds the level of the empire's first-line troops by more than five percentage points.

Even the Night Guard stopped a 200-man heavy cavalry unit, all of which were knights above the middle level.

Two hundred doesn't sound impressive, but it was an elite army, with a terrifying frontal impact.

In the era of the medieval, heavy cavalry was the role played by later generations of tanks. If used properly, they could cause devastating blows to infantry in field battles.

Roger handed over the command of the heavy cavalry to Little Joey, trusting her talent, hoping she could train it well and make good use of it.

Another very helpful point is that the Nightguard and Unbalanced Chapter have reached a long-term cooperative relationship.

Roger provided ideas, helped Frankenstein reproduce the earth's industry, agriculture, and even daily necessities, and guided the direction of technological innovation. The two often used their brains to conceive various wonderful objects.

Especially in the military field, a series of new equipment with outstanding effects has been born by combining magic.

A rather sad fact is that after the birth of civilization, to master any new technology, one must first verify whether it can kill the same kind more efficiently.

To distinguish it from traditional alchemy equipment, this type of weaponry and equipment that incorporates the characteristics of earth technology is collectively referred to as arcane equipment in the empire, which means that it is a product of the "New Arcane" trend of thought, trying to eliminate traces of the existence of another world as much as possible.

In return, the Night Guard can give priority to installing arcane equipment as soon as possible, experience the effect, give feedback and help the chapter on imbalance to make subsequent corrections.

The night guard's performance can directly determine whether a certain series has the value to continue being developed.

This is a win-win cooperation. Those alchemist lunatics in Chapter Imbalance got the test they wanted and made money with the experimental product.

The Night Guard has improved its equipment level and can have the unique and most advanced magic props on the market.

The integration of magic and technology, many times 1+1 will be far greater than 2.

At the same time, within the Night Guard, Roger's reputation has also reached a frighteningly high level.

The Night Guard was invincible in all battles, and the process was unbelievably smooth, thanks to Roger's command.

The impact of arcane equipment, especially those intelligence spying and detection methods without mana fluctuations, on the current combat system is also a decisive factor.

The source of all this can be traced back to their commander, Lord Roger Charles.

It is precisely because of Roger's existence that one after another ordinary official would never dare to make decisions, and would not make decisions, the Night Guard can become famous all over the world, becoming a sharp knife hanging over the heads of all nobles, and having today's strategic deterrence force.

So, Roger didn't show his combat effectiveness, but just as an officer, he became the only leader recognized by the Night Guards.

Capable, conscientious, determined and daring to directly judge the nobles who have occupied the world for thousands of years, such leaders are hard to find even holding a torch.

Under Roger's patient explanation, the Night Guard understood that his series of actions accelerated the transformation of the empire to a centralized state, and he played a key role in the smooth signing of the "Imperial Charter". This is equivalent to making a huge contribution to the empire.

All the guards are honored.

A good sense of honor also helps this armed force unite the military spirit.

Of course, with the torment of the "Imperial Charter", the aristocratic class gradually withdrew from the political arena of the empire, and the responsibilities of the night guards also adjusted accordingly.

After all, the power of the nobles has been locked in a cage. Even if they want to do evil, their ability has also dropped a lot.

After negotiating with the military department, they invited Queen Eternal Night. In the end, Nightingale and Sparrow shifted their work focus to neighboring nations and countries to prepare for future wars.

The domestic intelligence work is handed over to the Night Guard.

This is also the source of Margaret's sense of crisis because Roger directly snatched the job from her, and she still had no reason to object.

At the same time, the supervision scope of the Night Guards expanded from imperial nobles to administrative officials and high-level professionals. Their illegal activities were recorded and investigated. They were arrested and handed over to the court for trial and conviction.

What's more interesting is that, because the imperial system is not yet sound, compared to the same centralized state, the Dark Night Guard is a combination of two powerful departments, the Jinyiwei and the Ministry of Officials.

The intelligence collected and the review conducted by the Night Guard will become the benchmark for evaluating the merits and demerits of officials during their term. It is outrageous to think about it.

In other words, Roger is now the father of precisely every officials. As long as he speaks out, many officials are willing to pounce on him to curry favor with him.

As for the supervision and control of high-end professionals, it is a supplement to the strength of the city defense forces in various places by taking advantage of the night guard's combat power and intellect.

After all, power makes people inflated. Professionals have power far beyond that of ordinary people. Doing evil and harassing ordinary people is unavoidable in any era.

These professional criminals have strong mobility and high combat effectiveness. If the city defense army doesn't deal with them in time, it is easy to leave unsolved cases.

The Night Guard took the initiative to take on this time-consuming and labor-intensive job, which was also a kind of exercise for his combat effectiveness.

And because of changes in the empire's situation, the Night Guard is facing a change in mission, and its organizational structure has also been completely reorganized.

Now the Dark Night Guard uses the ribbon decorated on the sleeves of their uniform as a symbol and is divided into four levels: sleeveless, copper sleeves, silver sleeves, and gold sleeves.

Sleeveless is the most basic member of the Night Guard. They receive training in intelligence, combat, analysis, logistics, etc., with their work divided according to their profession and talent.

A Bronze sleeve leads a combat team of five to ten people, while a silver sleeve manages ten bronze sleeves and their respective teams.

A golden sleeve is in charge of five to fifteen silver sleeves each with a specific area of responsibility. Generally, they will only be dispatched in really big cases and difficult situations.

After this internal reorganization, division of ranks, stipulations of responsibilities, and improvement of various remunerations, the Dark Night Guard has survived the haste of its initial creation and generated good combat effectiveness as well as a complete, reserve talent selection and training system.

From Roger's point of view, although the Night Guard looks a little bit different now, it is still working hard to grow into a professional spy agency.

The growth process may be very long, but that doesn't mean the night guard's combat effectiveness is low.

For example, today, his subordinates accidentally confirmed a piece of information that almost broke Roger's defenses and made him extremely wronged:

"Those believers never stop. Why are you messing with me again this time?"
