I Will Be The Crowned King

Ten days later, the outer port of Red Hand Bay.

Joseph knelt down on the beach with his head in his hands, and looked at the three people who surrounded him in front of him with trembling eyes. The huge gap between escaping and falling short makes him still remember many years later. From this unforgettable morning.

That's right, Joseph, who experienced the Battle of Red Hand Bay firsthand, survived—a fluke of course.

When the Mujahideen fleet raided and blasted the outer harbor city walls and outposts to the sky, he really thought he was doomed; fortunately, he happened to be in a dead corner of the gunfire coverage, and he was in the first place. Time hid in a crater left by some sixty-eight-pound solid bullet.

In addition to being bruised and bruised by the gravel, gravel and various stumps and arms that fell from the sky, and almost being buried alive, the deputy commander of the dignified shooting army, Fabian's uncle Joseph, finally escaped.

But this is not the end, because it was later ruled that the Knights and the Heart of Mercy airship also landed in the Red Hand Bay, which was a sea of ​​fire, and then the Hutu Crusader Army also sent tens of thousands of reinforcements, and then the Elf Queen Fulai Ya Da showed his power and turned the entire Red Hand Bay into a purgatory that can make people live and die...

According to legend, human consciousness has a special self-protection mechanism, which can emulate some particularly painful memories, or even delete them directly, so as to avoid direct collapse due to too much pain in the heart... Joseph, who survived based on this principle Husband, I don't quite remember how I survived the siege by the New World Legion and the Crusaders.

Anyway, when he regained consciousness again, he was already outside the city of Red Hand Bay, with a messy battlefield in the vicinity, a scorched town in the distance, and the sunset on the horizon.

"The Age of Rebirth"

Joseph, who suddenly received the two gifts of "freedom" and "life" at the same time, was not overwhelmed by the surprise and ran away decisively, but chose to stay in Red Hand Bay temporarily, waiting for an opportunity to find an opportunity to return to the old continent. .

The current situation is already obvious. Whether or not the new world can gain independence and freedom in the future, it will become a arena for all forces to compete. As a small fugitive member of the Untrustworthy Knights and Black Mage, it is better to stay away from this place as soon as possible. It's safer to go to a place where no one knows you.

Just as he waited patiently for several days and was about to leave for Black Reef Port first, he learned of the end of the jihad from a passing Hantu population.

Joseph, who was more shocked than surprised, immediately realized that his chance to regain his freedom had come!

Since the war has just ended, and both sides are still in the post-war stage, Anson Bach must have no time to care about his own life or death, and the Mujahideen is eager to leave this land of right and wrong, and it is impossible to target a small fugitive. body.

Not only that, due to the end of the war, the jihadist fleet that originally blocked the coastline of the New World will immediately rush to various ports to prepare for their return; this means that as long as you can find a way to get a ship, you can go directly to the sea and return to the old continent!

Joseph, who was determined to pay attention, immediately began to prepare: first, he had to find a ship that could go to sea, and then he had to have a team that could operate the ship, as well as the minimum cargo and supplies.

Considering that he already had a certain reputation in the colony, if he knew that he was still alive, he would definitely not be able to escape Ansen Bach's "claw", so he could only find ways to find a ship that was about to go to sea and join in the name of "commercial cooperation".

As for why the other party needs his cooperation... Well, he will let the other party know when he gets on the boat; whether it is to play with people's hearts or to deceive them, it is a track that the black mage is good at.

after…

"...Everyone should know what happened after that, haha."

Joseph raised his head with difficulty, and forced a smile to the few people in front of him: "I swear, I swear to the Three Old Gods, I have really said everything I know, absolutely word for word!"

"I know."

Yoon Clemence, holding his shoulders, looked down at the guy kneeling on the ground, and there was some kind of revengeful pleasure in his writing: "But this is not what we want to know, my dear Joseph ."

"Then, what do you want to know?"

"You are in the Imperial Crusaders... More precisely, with Bernard, the internal network of the Roland family, the way to ensure that as soon as you arrive in Port Ardland, you can immediately have a new identity and life - which is what you boasted in the tavern. Those." The expressionless Karno took over the topic and took a slight step forward:

"Hand over it, we'll let you leave alive, otherwise..."

"Three old gods are above, you also said that I was bragging!"

Joseph collapsed in an instant, and the whole person was crying: "If I don't say this, let others believe that I have a relationship with the Bernard family in the North Border Chamber of Commerce and can take care of it. Why do others let me board the ship with no money?!"

"But you were a member of the Faithless Knights before. The Faithless Knights are loyal to the Crecy family. The Crecy family... is a branch of the Bernard family."

Squinting his eyes slightly, Yin Clemence looked at Joseph, who was trembling all over: "From this perspective, it shouldn't be a particularly unbelievable thing to think that there is some involvement between you and the Bernard family?"

"But, but you are also unbelievers in the Knights! Especially you, the captain I respect!" Joseph was still extremely aggrieved:

"Even if I know something, I have a little bit of a network of connections, how can you, who are also Knights, not know? I really have no value to you at all!"

"Just because we are companions... Once, we knew that if we couldn't change our identities and directly return to the New World, it would be tantamount to actively seeking death." Pulling off the hair on his temples, Sir Carnot said coldly:

"Dare to go back alone, it is enough to prove that you have something that we don't understand, but it is enough to let you escape successfully; no matter what it is, we hope you can take the initiative to take it out and share it with everyone."

"It's a very fair deal, dear Joseph."

Yin Clemens took over the topic and continued to persuade him: "We have ships, supplies, and the permission to leave that Anson Bach himself promised; and you have the ability to live safely and freely in an orderly world without being hunted down. opportunities, we just take what we need.”

"Of course it doesn't matter if you don't want to give it, but we will give you to Anson Bach and tell him that you are not dead, and you are still waiting for an opportunity to abscond; such a great gift is delivered to your door, I believe that the honorable commander-in-chief of the Storm Legion will definitely not be stingy. A little reward."

With a light sigh, Yoon Clemence glanced at Drake, the Wild Hunt Knight beside him, and Ser Karno immediately took a half step back like an instinctive reaction:

"But as for whether you are the complete you, I believe that the commander-in-chief should not bother with us on such trivial matters... What do you think?"

"But I really have nothing to give you!" Joseph was almost desperate, and his whole body was shaking like chaff:

"Really! You don't have to believe me, but at the very least you have to tell me the evidence? From our meeting until now, apart from the things I bragged about, what else can convince you that I have a way to talk to Belle? How to connect the Na family?!"

"enough!"

The wild hunter knight, who was impatient, let out a low growl, and directly stepped forward and grabbed Joseph's collar, lifting him like a sack: "Anyway, he won't say anything, he's still here to waste it. What?!"

"According to my opinion, just remove his hands and feet, and then poke both eyes and give it to Anson Bach. Why continue to waste time with him here?"

"Wait!" Joseph exclaimed, blushing:

"Why poke blind?!"

"Why... you're still asking knowingly."

As if sighing, Yoon Clemence shook his head and sighed: "The best thing the black mage is good at is reading minds, and poking your eyes can at least limit your release of magic to a certain extent; This is the fundamental thing to know when dealing with spellcasters."

"Of course, as former companions, we will try our best to be gentle when we strike, to ensure that there will be no pain in the process... Uh, this may be a bit difficult to guarantee; but if you want to die because of despair, we will do our best to stop it. Your!"

Ion Clemence's expression can be called righteous words, every sentence is from the heart, full of sincerity: "But if Commander-in-Chief Anson Bach really insists on taking your name, please forgive us. Impotent."

The words fell, and he glanced at the Wild Hunt Knight again. The latter understood it and pulled a dagger from his waist like a conjuration.

The blade of the dagger is not long, but it is very slender, and the tip is slightly curved. In short, it is very suitable for deducting some kind of round, soft, not too big and not too small from the embedded frame...

"Wait a moment!"

Just as the dagger was about to pierce his eye socket, Joseph spoke again: "I, I confess, I confess all, really!"

"very good!"

Yin En squeezed Drake's right hand holding the dagger, but did not withdraw the weapon: "Speak, we are all ears."

"I can confess, but, but you..." Joseph gritted his teeth and stared at the tip of the knife that was only a few centimeters away from his eyes:

"But you promise, this matter can't be known by anyone, I'm talking about anyone!"

"Nonsense!" Drake was still impatient: "How could we tell others about such a good thing?"

"Of course you won't, but you may tell your friends the way, and we'll be all over." Joseph smiled bitterly:

"Everything I said is true. If you don't believe it, just goug out my eyeballs. Temporary pain is better than eternal life."

While speaking, Joseph Tong Kong shrank slightly, as if he suddenly saw someone who had fallen into a tragic fate, and the body that was being pulled by the collar trembled subconsciously again.

"Drake, let him go."

The expressionless Sir Carnot said suddenly, staring thoughtfully at the sail shadow on the horizon in the distance: "This guy has no meaning to us."

Yin En turned his head and glanced at him, as if he had realized something, he also let go of the palm that was blocking the dagger, and took a half step back silently.

"Why?" The only wild hunter who didn't understand was confused:

"I, don't we have to ask what the secret is?"

"That...it's no longer necessary." Karno shook his head gently, took a deep breath, and looked at Joseph, who was still trembling:

"Your trump card is the Holy See of the Ring of Order - to be more precise, it should be the monastic faction of the Holy See, am I right?"

With a wry smile, Joseph nodded with despair in his eyes: "Can you see that?"

"I didn't see it!" Drake looked panicked:

"What the **** is going on here? He has connections to the monastery of the Holy See, but shouldn't he be a member of the Faithless Knights?"

"Ah! It's hard. Could it be that this guy is an eyeliner placed by the Holy See inside the Knights?!"

"That's not the case. To be precise, our great Lord Joseph should be a multi-faceted spy, and he has no accurate allegiance." Yin En said slowly:

"During the period when you joined the Knights of No Faith, there should be no chance to connect with the Holy See, so it could only happen after the disintegration of the Knights and you were incorporated by Anson Bach."

"If I guessed correctly, it should be a certain Storm Legion, a guy related to the Holy See took the initiative to find you and bribed you to pass the information to the Holy See; and you seized this opportunity and finally had a little bit inside the Holy See. People."

"Not much, but if one day you are willing to help a certain lord of the Holy See and let the other side raise your hand, you will be able to get rid of your wanted criminal status; after all, you are not a core member of the Knights, and there are no criminals in the old continent. What sin has been committed, but only dragged down by the identity of the Knights."

"So this information can only be useful to you, and it is impossible for us guys with blood debts to regain freedom with the little connections you have saved, and it will even affect you in turn."

"Exactly!" Joseph breathed a sigh of relief:

"You are all right, UU reading www.uukanshu.com so can you let me..."

"cannot."

With a slight smile, Yin En Clemens directly cut off Joseph's last hope of escape: "Since we have such critical information, wouldn't it be a pity if we don't make good use of it?"

"You, what are you, what do you mean?"

"The situation is like this, Your Excellency Joseph, we actually concealed something from you." Yin En explained regretfully:

"In short, in your eyes, all of us are lonely ghosts after the disbandment of the Faithless Knights, and we are worried about the fugitives being hunted down by the Holy See anytime, anywhere."

"But in fact, we actually joined the Truth Society a few days ago; this time we returned to the old continent, hoping to find a suitable opportunity to find out the next direction of the Holy See and the monastery."

"So... we can't let you go!"
