I will be crowned king
Chapter 787 No, it’s an uprising!
Outside the city of Beluga Harbor, the Supreme Council.
Polina Frey, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a violent sound. Having had nightmare-like memories, she ignored her disheveled hair and thin clothes, hurriedly put on her coat and rushed out.
As soon as she went out, she saw Reinhard Roland, who lived opposite her, also preparing to leave the room. Seeing Polina's panic, she quickly raised her hand to signal silence.
After reacting, Polina nodded immediately, covered her mouth hidden under her hair with her two small hands, turned her head and looked around; in the empty corridor late at night, there were only the two of them, and there was no movement.
After half a minute, after confirming that there was really no one else, Polina slowly approached and asked carefully, "Your Excellency Reinhard, were you also...were you woken up by some sound?"
"Huh? So there was really some sound..." Contrary to her guess, the president seemed very surprised:
"No, I was awakened by your sister; she ran to my room in a panic, saying she heard the movement of the army and wanted me to take her and you to escape quickly."
"It took a lot of effort for me to calm her down, and I believed it was absolutely safe here; I was just about to go back to the house and go to sleep, and then..."
Reinhard did not continue, but the content was self-evident - he thought it was the Frey's sister and ran out of the room in fright, but it turned out to be the sister.
"I'm sorry for causing you to worry too much. Our past experiences have made us very sensitive to this kind of thing." Polina lowered her head, with a bitter smile under her apologetic eyes: "No matter what, I don't want to go through the second time again." Times."
Reinhard nodded slightly to express his understanding.
He had heard about the tragedy of the Frey family from both Anson and Paulina; they were loyalists who firmly supported the empire, but they were massacred by Lord Bernard as liberals. Only two girls and an old housekeeper in the family escaped. He came out; after experiencing countless hardships, he was rescued by the Storm Legion's caravan and survived.
Having such an unbearable memory, it is not surprising that the reaction was violent; especially after seeing her sister's reaction, it further highlighted the calmness of Paulina Frey in front of her, even if she was so panicked inside, Her conversation and words are still very organized, and she is worthy of being the woman who was attracted by Anson Bach...
"boom--"
Just when Reinhard didn't know how to end the conversation, a dull sound suddenly came from the window; the huge echo sounded like thunder, but the stars could be clearly seen in the night sky. The most critical direction of the sound was...
"Moby Harbor."
Staring at the dark night outside the window, Reinhard's expression suddenly became serious: "The sound is coming from Beluga Harbor... No! It's that sound that is constantly approaching Beluga Harbor!"
"Get closer?!" Polina, who finally calmed down, immediately showed a panicked look: "I, should we ask Lord Anson Bach for help, or..."
"No, it's too late." Reinhard categorically objected:
"No matter what the noise is, it has entered Beluga Harbor, and it is too late to call for help now; not to mention that there are already some Storm Legion soldiers and shooting troops stationed in the city, so there is no need to worry about the city falling for the time being; and the Supreme Council itself is a There is a small fortress, as well as troops responsible for guarding and guards from each colony, so there is no need to be too anxious."
"Then, what can we do?"
"……remind!"
Reinhard turned his head: "Wake up the guards in the parliament and everyone in this building, then gather in the conference hall, be on guard, and wait for news from the direction of Beluga Port and the Storm Legion."
"Even if you can't reverse the situation, you can't be ignorant of what's happening; and bringing everyone together can also help avoid certain accidents from happening and causing more panic!"
Although he had no military experience, the teachings in his family made Reinhard understand that no matter what happens, everyone must be gathered together as soon as possible. Controlling people's actions will control the biggest risk factors.
"I'll go notify the guards first!"
Polina understood the situation softly and walked towards the dark corridor with a serious expression. Although she was worried about her sister's current situation, she knew better what she, as the nominal leader of the parliament, had to do at this moment.
Watching the girl leave, Reinhard turned his eyes to the window again, staring at the Beluga Harbor shrouded in night, and gradually narrowed his eyes:
"Anson Bach, you've still come this far..."
……………………
“…On February 10, at 21:30, the Commander-in-Chief of the Colonial Corps, Brigadier General Anson Bach, officially issued the order for the Storm Corps to operate and occupy Beluga Harbor.
At the request of Lord Anson, as the clerk, I, Alan Dawn, also participated in this significant military operation as a recorder, which is destined to go down in history.
First, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Infantry Regiments and the 1st Company of the Hussars Battalion entered simultaneously from the north, east, and west gates of Beluga Port Town, and controlled all commanding heights and important points in the city as planned. Transportation hubs and squares, as well as the residences of MPs in the city; and by means of leaflets, slogans and firing of guns, the news that the Legion had announced the uprising was announced to the whole city.
The Grenadier Regiment and the Second Company of Hussars can rush to Gray Snow Town, control the town in the same way, forcibly convene an autonomous assembly, and seize the colony.
At 21:45, the assembled army arrived outside the city; at 50:00, all city gates and important city defense facilities were controlled by the legion; at 55:55, the army advanced along the streets towards the center of the city, gradually occupying the streets and At key locations, troops were stationed in factories, markets and warehouses to prevent any losses from riots caused by the uprising.
At twenty-two o'clock sharp, when I accompanied the Commander-in-Chief into Beluga Harbor, the entire operation was almost over; there was no commotion, no conflict, and no resistance of any kind; everything seemed as if nothing had happened, but it did It has indeed happened.
Afterwards, I asked several councilors who happened to witness the whole process. According to them, they were completely unaware of the legion's actions. They thought it was just the same as before, just normal martial law in the city and crackdown on gangs, as well as assassins to assassinate the commander-in-chief.
Perhaps it is precisely because similar operations have been so frequent in the past that the entire Beluga Port has become almost numb to the large-scale operations of the Legion, and the Legion is already familiar with it. It only needs to refer to the previous experience and follow the steps to control this already existing city. A port city with a population of tens of thousands.
Of course, even if they realize it, nothing can be changed; since the establishment of the Shooting Army, the Commander-in-Chief has disarmed all the armed forces in Beluga Port City, and through previous attacks on gangs and foreign mercenaries, has eliminated most of the " "Private armed groups" do not pose a threat to impede operations.
Regarding the uprising of the Storm Legion, the entire White Whale Port maintained a very calm attitude; the parliamentarians seemed to be surprised by this, but despite being surprised, the Commander-in-Chief, who had essentially controlled the colony, chose to accept this result.
The only voice of opposition came from the locally appointed colonial treasurer, Lord Akers, and his entourage; when he became aware of the uprising, he seemed to have thought it was just a mutiny; but Lord Anson appeared surrounded by Miss Lisa and a company of guards. The moment he was in front of him, the knight who was always polite and had even become a fanatical follower of his lord immediately cursed.
Faced with the humiliation of the enemy, the Commander-in-Chief mercifully stopped Miss Lisa, who had already raised her gun, and ordered the soldiers of the Guard Company to take Sir Akers and his entourage into custody without harming their lives.
At 23:05, five hundred members of Parliament arrived at the Parliament escorted by Storm Legion soldiers. The Commander-in-Chief personally announced five things to them:
First of all, from now on, Ice Dragon Fjord will become an independent colony and will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Clovis, but will continue to work hard to maintain friendly relations with Clovis itself;
Secondly, the Beluga Port and Ash Snow Town Autonomous Council will be retained, but the two will be merged into the "Governor-General of Ice Dragon Fjord", and the Governor's Palace will be established in Beluga Harbor, with Sir Anson Bach serving as the Governor of Ice Dragon Fjord. Manage military, political and diplomatic affairs;
Third, continue to maintain the military alliance with the Free Confederacy and the five eastern colonies, and declare war on the Empire;
Fourth, ban all unofficial organizations except the Promise Keepers League. Any private political clubs and societies will be regarded as illegal organizations; any private foreign affairs without permission will be illegal.
Finally, all those who are willing to join the Governor-General of Ice Dragon Fjord will receive absolute protection in terms of property and personal safety of their families; with the Eight Thousand Storm Legion, all properties under their names will not be infringed upon as long as they are registered in the Governor's Mansion. .
As Lord Anson finished speaking, the entire parliament hall burst into applause; the members stood up one after another, using the most excited expressions and the strongest applause, showing how loyal they were to the new Governor-General of Ice Dragon Fjord.
Mr. Anson, who had received the authorization from the White Whale Port Council, was not immediately proud. On the contrary, he very humbly expressed his repentance to me for his excessive behavior. He deeply felt that this would very likely lead to the possibility that Ice Dragon Fjord would eventually end up with Clovis became distraught and separated completely.
In addition, although it is out of necessity, calling yourself 'Governor' is still too much, and this is still the title of Miss Sophia Franz at the moment; Sophia, Franz, Clovis, the Osterian royal family... all at the same time To betray the four people he swore allegiance to was really an unbearable burden.
As a humble secretary, I can only try my best to comfort the Lord and let him relax. After all, although these actions do look like betrayal, they sound like it, and their actions are no different from betrayal... But they are indeed the most serious. Loyalty decided.
Fortunately, Lord Anson is a man with a very strong willpower. After painfully blaming himself for fifteen seconds, he recovered and continued his great cause of loyalty..."
………………
In the brightly lit Supreme Council Hall, an indescribable tension was swirling under the gorgeous vaults.
The Free Confederacy, the alliance of the five eastern colonies, sat on both sides of the hall with the main entrance and the central podium as the center; either silent, or with depressed expressions, or confused.
No one knew what happened, they were just forcibly awakened from their sleep, and then hurriedly gathered in this empty hall; there were no matters to discuss, no outsiders suddenly visiting, they only knew that it seemed to be the White Whale Port. There was some noise coming from the side, which sounded very much like the sound of troops marching, firing cannons and volleying guns.
Specious intelligence, not false voices, caused heaviness and depression to brew in everyone's hearts.
Rebellion, mutiny, invasion.
Three possibilities are lingering in everyone's mind, but what scares them is not the thing itself, but the consequences; no matter which one, if one party cannot control the situation quickly or is defeated, it may turn to Go up to the Supreme Council, which has only simple defenses and a small number of troops outside the isolated city.
If they become hostages, their fate will be unpredictable; none of this will even depend on themselves, but on the city.
Under such circumstances, Reinhard was the only one in the entire parliament hall who remained calm and could even distract himself from taking care of his crying and panic-stricken young fiancée.
Polina Frey sat in the position of leader of the parliament, her face livid, trying desperately to resist the panic in her heart and the urge to look at her sister, so that she still looked calm and composed to avoid causing more panic.
Until the heavy slamming of the door broke the oppression that made everyone breathless.
“Boom——!!!”
With four men smashing open the door with their rifle butts, Anson, surrounded by Lisa, the little clerk, and two hundred soldiers from the Guard Company, walked into the hall of the Supreme Council, holding two rolled-up flags in his hand.
Looking at the heavily armed soldiers, the horrified congressmen subconsciously focused their attention on Polina after a brief shock.
Feeling the huge pressure, the girl facing Anson had no choice but to stand up slowly and said in a deep voice with a slightly trembling voice:
"This is the Supreme Council, a sacred place where soldiers and weapons-bearers are prohibited from setting foot. Lord Anson Bach, what exactly do you want to do?"
"I know, and I deeply apologize for my very offensive behavior." Anson smiled, and his words echoed under the vault:
"But I have to do this for some reasons. In addition, I have two other things and a gift to give you."
"First of all, Ice Dragon Fjord, including Gray Snow Town and Beluga Port, has officially become independent from Clovis and has become a free governor-general."
"In other words, from now on, we...are no different from everyone in the Free Confederacy."
"What?!"
A Sailing City councilor stood up in surprise: "The Storm Legion is going to rebel?!"
"No, it's an uprising!"
Anson said coldly without raising his head, and raised the two flags in his hands at the same time: "Therefore, now as the governor of Ice Dragon Fjord, I declare that I hope to officially become a member of the Free Confederacy and give the Confederacy a big gift. !”
With an expressionless face, Anson held up two almost identical flags with stars and rings on a blue background in front of everyone.
But soon, everyone present noticed the difference - the flag on the left only had eight stars, but the flag on the right had thirteen.
"Do you want the left one or the right one?" Anson's eyes became extremely sharp:
"Please make your decision now!"
