LA BASTILLE ET LA CROISE
The Bastille Vanguard and the Templars are no strangers to each other. Both armies forged an alliance with each other in November 2024, doing so quickly after the former’s formation. The pair maintained their alliance throughout its lifespan, even through a triumvirate that had developed with the Doritos, which dissolved due to controversy in June 2025. Only by TBV shutting down in September of that year did TCP shutter their alliance. However, the Vanguard returned to the community on October 31, marking the start of a new generation for the army. Sidie9, Templarian Empress, announced the alliance’s return on November 3.
The Templars’ announcement of a TBV alliance on November 3
This historic, renewed alliance came after other bridges burned. The Templars, who emerged victorious from a war with their former allies, the Aliens, and having lost a war to their former ally, the Dark Warriors, found themselves in a new alliance. This alliance is the first the Templars have formed since forging one with the Aliens in April of 2026. Thus, with the return of the Vanguard to the community comes the end of a streak of deteriorating foreign affairs for the Crusaders. The Bastille Vanguard appears ambitious in their second generation, hoping to become a major army as a primary goal, with another major now in its corner.
The Bastille Vanguard’s recent Operation: November, on November 4, 2026
Lastly, Club Penguin Armies reached out to Templarian Grand Prior borapenguins and Vanguard Leader Turtel to learn more about the future of the alliance.
Your renewed alliance offers many opportunities. Do you have any plans you wish to share for this alliance?
Turtel: I have no plans for our alliance just yet, however in the future i believe we will accomplish many great things. I am very excited to build a strong bond & an even stronger future with the Templars.
Borapenguins: Jemma can pick out the latest bedtime stories from her library to read to Zall & Viturwin etc
During Operation: Sunrise, the Fire Vikings de-listed the Templars as allies and listed TBV as enemies. Do you suspect conflict arising in the future?
Turtel: The fire vikings recent actions could potentially bring a conflict in the future, though i am not so concerned due to their war with SL currently occupying them
Borapenguins: allying with TBV after parting ways with FV was not a spiteful move and I hope FV doesn’t get the wrong idea there whoops lol
Given TBV’s hopes for becoming a major army, what do you feel your army gains the most from this alliance?
Turtel: From our alliance with the Templars i think what we gain most is reliable support in everything no matter what, and i would hope we provide the same for them too
Borapenguins: Friends. Friends who speak Portuguese.
Do you have any comments for the army community?
Turtel: Avonçons en force, Défendons la liberté
Borapenguins: it’s not too late and you should probably call her
Both armies express a hopeful tone for the future of their alliance, while TCP takes time to clarify that there is no ill will towards the Fire Vikings. A new chapter begins for these armies. Where do you see the alliance heading in the future? Will this historic alliance prove to build a strong foundation for the future?
