I will be crowned king

Chapter 1187 The Empire’s Declaration of War

Facing Ludwig's expectant gaze, Anson stood up slowly and walked to the map hanging on the wall, pulled out the bayonet he carried with him, and then...

"boom--!!!!"

The sharp silver blade was nailed directly above the Royal Court of Yser.

Ludwig finally took a breath, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

Although he is indeed 90% sure, Anson will still choose to assist Hantu to invade the Iser Elf Kingdom. After all, he started to rise from here last time; but as long as the other party has not made a decision, many things cannot be said. So dead - with experience in wars in the New World, Ansen Bach could barely be considered a commander who had commanded a six-figure army; not to mention his performance on the Western Front battlefield, he was definitely better than his previous self.

The person who was really unsuitable to go to the Yser Elf battlefield on the Eastern Front was actually Ludwig himself.

Regardless of the fact that although my relationship with Hantu is not bad, it is obviously not comparable to the level of "friendship" between Anson Bach and Leon Francois; at the same time, Israel is Ludwig's "friendship". "Sadly"; he knew very well that once he got into a hard battle on a battlefield with complex terrain, it would be impossible to achieve a quick victory in a short time with his own fighting style.

Therefore, letting the opponent go to the Eastern Front for a quick battle, while he assembles a large army on the Western Front for a head-on confrontation with the Empire, is the best of both worlds.

"When are you going to leave?"

"It depends on when the empire is ready to formally declare war on us, and it also depends on when the National Assembly can make up its mind and formally promulgate the appointment of the two of us." Anson said without any concealment:

"In addition, I think there are still too few 'rulings', and it is easy for the National Assembly and the people of Clovis to have the misunderstanding that 'these two people want to divide the power of the king and become the new king of Clovis.' It is best to Let’s add one more.”

"Well, that makes sense. It's better to avoid such misunderstandings as much as possible; besides, we will all be leading the army at that time, and it won't work without a ruler in Clovis City."

Ludwig nodded, his eyes twinkling: "So do you have any suitable candidates?"

"No." Anson answered very simply. He could see that the other party already had an idea: "I proposed the plan first. For the sake of fairness, you should recommend the candidate."

"I?"

Ludwig hesitated for a moment and looked at him. He seemed to confirm again and again that the other party was not joking with him, and then he said with a slight hesitation: "Then the candidate in my mind may not be too popular with you."

"It doesn't matter, you might as well talk about it."

"Viscount Bogner." Ludwig said in a deep voice:

"In terms of political ability, deep connections, and reputation among the royalist moderates and the National Assembly, he is the kind of candidate who can balance the opinions of all parties; the most important thing is that he does not have too many ambitions and knows how to Maintain a situation that is beneficial to everyone, but the problem is..."

"The problem is that he is a royalist, and the two of us have parted ways because of the previous confrontation with the old War Department, right?" Anson asked rhetorically.

Ludwig neither answered nor showed any expression, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"If this is what you are worried about, then I can only say that you are worrying too much." Anson smiled calmly: "I personally have no objections to Viscount Bogner, we just have different positions, just like me and The same goes for Mr. Ludwig; personally, I respect this kind of person who truly knows how to cooperate."

"Sir, is it inappropriate for you to call me that now?"

Ludwig also smiled: "You are a lieutenant general, and I am only a major general. It seems that I should call you your Excellency."

"No, you were my former boss and the first person to promote me; I will never forget this kindness." Anson's expression suddenly became serious: "Without Ludwig Franz, There would be no Anson Bach of the Storm Legion today.”

"Me too. Promoting you is a decision I will never regret. Even if one day we become life-and-death rivals, this will not change."

Ludwig nodded slightly: "And now, we are like-minded friends who fight side by side for Clovis!"

After speaking, he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: "For Clovis."

Without a moment's hesitation, Anson immediately stepped forward and reached out to hold:

"For all of us!"

…………………………

Facts have proven that the more you worry about something, the more suddenly it will come; when you think that your opponent will deliberately use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to deal with you, he will always be inexplicably upright.

Just when the National Assembly was still wrestling with whether to grant Ludwig military power and when to wait to formally declare war on the Empire, the Empire's declaration of war came first.

Since the Imperial Embassy had been uprooted by Ludwig himself, the Northern Chamber of Commerce, known as "the largest chamber of commerce in the world", had to act as a messenger; the person who sent the letter repeatedly told everyone that he was really just a messenger. The messenger has nothing to do with the imperial royal family, and is even considered half a Clovis:

[To all noble and rebellious ministers of the Osterian royal family who consider themselves righteous:

Ever since the seven knights expelled the three old gods and the glory of the Ring of Order spread to the whole world, this land has had an eternal order; the noble and noble people hold the torch high and lead the mediocre people towards the light and eternity. future; they stand up in the face of darkness, rise resolutely in the most desperate moments, and continue to give hope to the world when everyone is confused and giving back.

It was such huge efforts and heavy sacrifices that made the Ring of Order and thousands of kind-hearted believers of the True God recognize the nobility of their bloodline, and promised them that they could live above all people, inherit their noble family names and emblems, and live forever. Defending the stability and prosperity of this world; this is not only an honor, but also an absolute responsibility. It is a responsibility that has only been entrusted after hundreds of years and even the test of the year before last.

And you... all the idle people who boast so loudly that you think you can rule this land on behalf of the noble blood, and talk so much but have made no achievements so far, your surnames are so insignificant in the annals of history, and your origins are simply the same as dust, Your so-called slogans are so ridiculous that they make people laugh, and your achievements are pure false propositions.

But even so, I still want to praise your extraordinary courage, daring to make the most shameless offense against your king, and even challenge the eternal laws of the ordered world; villains, traitors, rebellious ministers, powerful ministers, thugs... in the past All despicable words can no longer describe your actions, and all rebellions and riots cannot compare with what you have done.

You have driven a legitimate king, blessed by the Circle of Order, from his country!

This act is so heinous that it is unimaginable; I cannot describe how His Majesty Nicholas Osteria felt when he appeared in the palace of Snapdragon City.

But I believe that he must be deeply sad deep in his heart; it is painful to be betrayed by some people, but what a tragic fate it is to be betrayed by all his subjects?

I can't understand, I can only speculate. I can't see a trace of anger in his eyes. I believe that His Majesty Nicholas I did not resent his subjects even if he suffered such a degree of betrayal.

But his kindness does not mean that all the believers of the Ring of Order will not act. It does not mean that the guardians of the world of order and the knights who defend the faith and the eternal laws will also not act.

Because we understand that if the source of chaos is not eliminated, it will lead to endless disasters; if the power of destruction is not curbed, the whole world will be reduced to scorched earth; if evil thoughts are not eliminated as soon as possible, Then all virtue and nobility will be sunk and stained.

There is no future in such a world, and Clovis will turn from a proud and glorious country into a source of pollution to the entire world of order.

In order to avoid the most horrific situation, and for all believers of the upright, kind and benevolent Circle of Order, I formally declare war on you.

My legions will gather on the border between the Empire and Clovis. They will hold high the banners of the bloody unicorn and the golden fleur-de-lis, and in the name of the Hred royal family and the Osterian royal family, they will fight against all the rebels.

If you still think that this is a war that is no different from the past, you are totally wrong; the entire Order World will stand unconditionally under our flag, and this will be the largest scale in the history of the Order World. With their military strength, they will become a legend passed down by all believers and a sanction that all traitors will fear!

Even so, I am still willing to give you the final advice to all the traitors: stop your unreasonable betrayal, immediately confess your mistakes to your king, correct and repent with practical actions, and reveal your mastermind and instigator. The sharp blade of sanctions will be dealt with lightly on you.

Otherwise... when the war spreads to innocent people, all the sacrifices will become another crime for you!

Your enemy, the Terminator and Judge, the guardian of the world of order, the son of the Hored bloodline, the unquestionable Emperor of the Empire.

yours truly. 】

Christian on the stage finished reading the declaration of war in his hand, placed it on the podium, and glanced at the thousands of representatives below the stage.

And what responded to him was silence, silent silence.

No one expected that the empire would respond so quickly. Even before the National Assembly had figured out how to deal with the little king who fled to the empire, the invading army had already begun to gather on the border.

what does that mean? This means that the other party did not launch a sudden attack, but had already planned it; while everyone was still cheering for the "tolerance" of Nicholas I, the power to destroy the National Assembly had already begun to brew.

"Everyone, I think the matter has reached this point and there is no need for any further discussion." With a slight sigh, Christian said calmly:

"I used to think that when I said 'The traitor is His Majesty', I was affected by the emotions at the time and said irrational words. I also really believed that the National Assembly and His Majesty the King could become a perfect and harmonious combination for Clovis. Dual structure, I once really believed that the existence of a king was necessary for Clovis, and Clovis without a king was destined to have no bright future."

"Yes, I used to believe everything, including what is described in this declaration of war; I also believe that it is not just me, but many people here may have thought so, and some may even still think so now. of."

"And now, it has put our naive ideas directly on the table, saying in a condescending and commanding tone... I am coming to kill you. For your own sake, it is best not to move. Wait. I will kill you one by one."

"At least that's what I think. I think the emperor and our king who are far away in Xiaolong City do not intend to let any of us go; they will burn Clovis City to ashes and burn all the people who have supported it, even just All those who support the National Assembly must be eradicated." Christian said solemnly:

"Like it says, we are filth and the filth must be removed, no matter what the cost."

In the silent stands, one representative after another clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.

"I don't intend to state anything to you anymore, or persuade you to support someone else's remarks or refute someone else's proposal." Christian said expressionlessly:

"I think it is pointless to continue those endless discussions now; yes, when others have seriously considered how to kill you, and even told you about it politely. , it is a pure waste of life and time to discuss how to avoid being killed."

"So I only make a proposal now, which is to immediately grant Ludwig Franz the authority to command the Legion to resist the invasion from the empire on the Western Front battlefield. At the same time, according to the method he gave, two additional 'rotations' will be recommended. 'Government, establish a Supreme Council to take over all military and political power in Clovis, and defend everything we have at any cost."

After speaking, he walked directly off the podium, leaving a long silence in the stands without saying another word.

…………………………

On April 20, Apostolic Calendar 102, the National Assembly officially passed the Emergency War Act, granting Ludwig the command of three legions to go to the western frontier to resist the invasion of the empire.

At the same time, Anson Bach also became the "rotating governor" as a lieutenant general, and was given the command of the Ranger Corps. Under the joint appointment of the Ministry of War and the National Assembly, he assisted the Hantu Kingdom within a four-month deadline. Invade and destroy the local rule of the Yser Elf Kingdom, completely carve up their territory, and prevent this country with deep ties to the empire from cooperating with the empire in wartime to attack the southern fortress of Clovis.

At this point, the war has completely begun.
