I Will Be The Crowned King
Vol 4 Chapter 371: fuse
The latest website: Looking at the shocked eyes cast at him in the room, Leon Francois, who finally breathed evenly, was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and the expression on his face became confused.
The three people who looked at each other were stunned for almost a minute, and then he vaguely seemed to understand something:
"Wait, you... don't you know about this yet?"
The words fell, and Ludwig and William exchanged glances quickly. After confirming that they were absolutely honest and not lying, they breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately frowned.
"We really don't know anything about this."
The commander-in-chief, who took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the front and closed the door. At the same time, Leon, who was sweating profusely, sat down and handed over his handkerchief: "His Royal Highness Leon, where did you get the information about this? The news of the matter, Hantu’s intelligence network in Beigang, or the royal chamber of commerce doing business in Beluga Port?”
"Beigang Intelligence Network, Royal Chamber of Commerce... What are you talking about?" Leon took the towel and looked at him strangely:
"No, I read it in the local newspaper; Anson Bach proclaimed himself the Governor of Ice Dragonfjord, declared independence, and joined the Free Confederation with the five colonies of the three eastern North Sea countries."
"newspaper?!"
Before he could finish speaking, William Cecil, who was stunned next to him, blurted out.
"This is the headline of the second edition of "Beigang Morning Talk"."
Leon nodded in confusion, and looked at the two people in disbelief: "The ring of order is on, I thought you all already knew about it... Don't you Clovisers like reading newspapers, I , I thought it was some kind of custom?"
"No, it's just a public hobby that doesn't have much taste." Ludwig replied absentmindedly, and after confirming that there was no one outside the house, he immediately stepped forward and asked:
"His Royal Highness Leon, have you brought that newspaper with you?"
"Ah, of course!"
He took out the folded "Beigang Morning Talk" from his jacket pocket, and seven or eight different newspapers were exposed in Leon's inner pocket; in addition to trying to imitate the living habits of the Clovis people, it was also because he had I found my previous notes on several copies, which appeared in the newspaper with the title of "Eagle Horn City Battle", and clearly stated that the author was himself.
And these notes, except Anson Bach, Leon never showed to any Clovis people; in other words, Anson silently sent these precious notes back to China and let the Clovis people know through newspapers In the Highlands, there is a knight named Leon Francois...
Thinking of this, Leon's nose is sore; Anson, who has been disconnected for more than a year after being separated by a turbulent sea, has never forgotten himself or the Han Tu who fought side by side with him.
But now, because of the order of the Holy See, I have to fight side by side with the former mortal enemy, the Empire, and even, it is very likely that I will soon become an enemy of him...
"This information is provided by the Clovis Privy Councillor, the Colonial Treasurer Sir Alex, who visited Naxil Port. The information is true and reliable, and there is no falsehood..."
After a quick glance at the contents of the newspaper, Ludwig, who muttered to himself, not only did not realize it, but was even more confused: "Since Anson Bach really decided to rebel, how did Sir Aix escape from being firmly controlled by the Storm Legion? escaped from Beluga Harbor?"
"Since he has even escaped, and apparently has plenty of water, food, and cash with him, why not just go back to Northport and go to the kingdom of Nakhir, which is still in the civil war?"
………………
"Yeah, why did we come to this ghost place?!"
Ser Akers, who was trembling from his voice to his body, looked out the window in despair at the azure port of Naxil and wailed unceasingly.
In the empty warehouse, more than a dozen people were tied together with ropes and chains and luggage boxes. They shivered and curled up in the darkness where they could not see their fingers. Only the high and narrow windows above their heads revealed a bit of light.
The property, clothes, and even supplies that the group carried with them were all looted by the rebels. Only cold and hard potatoes and toothless black bread could barely satisfy their hunger, ensuring that they would not be easily starved to death.
And that's not even the worst.
While they were trapped in the warehouse, just outside the city just separated by a wall, the Nakhir royal family and the noble rebels were still fighting a **** battle of life and death in the city; The clear platoon of gunfire is also gradually approaching the nearby streets.
But the fierce battle did not make Ax and his entourage happy, let alone the joy of escaping - the rebels who caught them said that once they lost the civil war, they would be the first Kill them and blame the royal family, and make Clovis declare war on the kingdom of Naxil.
So how did you get to this point? Aix asked himself desperately.
The matter has to be traced back to the fact that a group of people, under the personal care of Carl Bain, escaped Moby-Dick Harbor overnight on a three-masted sailboat prepared by the Storm Legion.
And just when they completely left the surrounding waters of Ice Dragon Fjord and could finally breathe a sigh of relief, the originally united group immediately "split" into two factions.
The reason is also very simple: it will take at least a month to get from Beluga Harbor to Beigang, even if they are lucky enough to burst. They set off in mid-February, and the turbulent sea has not completely thawed; monsoons, severe cold, and large expanses floating Waters with large pieces of ice are not suitable for ocean voyages.
So at this time, many people on the ship suggested that they should not return to the mainland immediately. It is better to go to a port in the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea and wait until the thaw in the spring before continuing the journey.
But there is also a small group of more cautious people who think that they should not make any stops, but rush to North Harbor as soon as possible; the Ice Dragon Fjord and the Storm Legion rebellion are not trivial matters, and they must be reported to the Privy Council and the royal family as soon as possible.
And Sir Aix, he belongs to the former.
So the group arrived at Nakhir Port successfully after less than two weeks of voyage.
Of course, their original goal was not here. After all, the news of the civil unrest in the Nakhir Kingdom is not a secret; Sir Akers' plan was to find a relatively small, uninhabited port town for a while and wait until After April or May, he left quietly without leaving any traces.
Gu Zhi
After all, their current identities are very embarrassing. Once their identities are revealed, they are likely to be regarded as diplomatic envoys of Clovis intervening in the civil unrest in the Three North Seas, and there is no way to explain them at that time.
Aix's thinking is clear, but in this world, the more you worry about what, the more what will happen; when you feel that you have fallen into the bottom, the bottom of the bottom can give you another surprise.
So the group first ran into the melee between the Nakhir Royal Fleet and the rebel noble ships. After fleeing, they were chased by pirates and then rescued by a small squadron of the Royal Fleet. Before they could thank the other party, they Asked to attack Nakhir together and retake the port occupied by the rebels.
As a result, the entire squadron was ambushed by the rebels, and these "Clovite envoys" also became the distinguished guests of the rebel nobles.
There is no way, in order to ensure that he can get the attention of the other party and avoid being directly pulled out and shot to death, even if he knows that there will be endless troubles, Ax can only bite the bullet and pretend.
Another important reason is that at that time the rebel nobles had basically controlled the entire Port of Nakhir and most of the surrounding area, and only a few fortresses and palaces were left in the hands of the royal family to resist; even under the control of the rebel nobles, Part of the order in the city and even the port has been restored, and normal life and trade can even be carried out.
Under such circumstances, anyone would feel that the royal family was lost in this battle, and it was only a matter of time before they surrendered; after all, what the nobles wanted was not to change the dynasty, but to abolish some "evil government"; such a war is generally not the case unless the contradiction is really serious. It cannot be reconciled, otherwise, it will not go to the step of slaughtering it.
So in order to get some supplies and take a break from the long journey of the past two weeks, Akers had to pretend to be a special envoy at the strong request of his followers, expressing Clovis's approval of their "resistance against bad governance", and will be in the All support other than help when necessary.
The rebel nobles who are in sight of victory are also very happy about this. After all, their behavior is like a conspiracy. If they can win the support of a powerful country on the side of the orderly world, they will not only be able to unite the hearts of the people at home, but also don’t have to worry about being used by the outside world afterwards. Finding faults for excuses is always profitable.
The two sides spent several days in this cheerful atmosphere of hello and me, and just when the group felt that they could stay quietly until the end of April, and then find any reason to leave, the civil war suddenly turned for the better.
First, the rebels and nobles who controlled the port area suddenly turned against the water and announced to rejoin the royal family; then several royal fortresses that had been unable to hold on to it even started to counterattack, defeating and disintegrating the besieging army.
Not only that, the royal army, which turned from defense to offense, also displayed powerful firepower that had never been seen before; countless artillery shells fired from the fortress like raindrops, blowing up a large number of rebel strongholds like the autumn wind swept leaves; The "uprising rebels" in the port cooperated with the royal army and attacked the rebels scattered throughout the city.
Under the reversal of offense and defense, the rebellious nobles immediately began to panic. They didn't understand why the royal family was able to gather so many troops and such powerful firepower, and they didn't understand why there were allies who chose this kind of victory when they were about to win. loyalty?
But if you don't understand, you don't understand, you still have to do what you need to do. After realizing that the rebellion had failed, they immediately sent someone to plead for peace with their beloved king, expressing their acknowledgment, and begging His Majesty to have a large number and let them go.
This is also the norm in a sense of the whole world of order; vassals and vassals will rebel and raise troops because of dissatisfaction, but only to meet the requirements rather than independence; if the royal family loses, they will accept the conditions; if they win, they will not do it. If it is too much, it will only be a symbolic punishment.
However, the Nakhir royal family did not accept the "admission" of their subjects, but demanded their surrender; those who bowed their heads and begged for mercy could be spared death, and those who resisted to the end were beheaded.
At this moment, the rebellious nobles who realized that His Majesty was coming also gave up their illusions and gathered their few remaining troops to prepare to fight with the royal family to the end.
But Sir Acks and his entourage didn't, not only didn't, they didn't even know what had happened if it wasn't for the house being hit by a shell.
When they really knew the situation, it was too late... The nobles first confiscated the cash and materials they carried with them, and then imprisoned them as a bargaining chip with the royal family when necessary.
And as the rebels are losing ground, their chips are gradually moving closer to the direction of funerals, from casino tokens to best-selling products in funeral homes.
Facing the tragic end that was about to be seen by the naked eye, Sir Akers was desperate and helpless. He even thought that it would be good to be locked in the Beluga Harbor Prison. After all, Anson Bach would only threaten no matter how cruel he was. You can't really kill yourself...?
"Ah!"
The shivering Sir Alex sniffed, listening to the sound of the approaching cannon, muttering over and over again in despair about his tragic fate:
"So, why did we come to this ghost place?!"
………………
"What else was written in the newspaper?"
William Cecil flipped through the part describing "Special Envoy Clovis" and continued to ask Leon, "Apart from "North Harbor Morning Talk", are there any other newspapers that mention Beluga Harbor or Colonial News?"
"No, but..."
Leon hesitated for a moment, took out the remaining newspapers from his arms, and spread them out on the coffee table in front of him: "But now there are many 'rumours' about the new world, which are regarded as novelties by the newspapers. Published on a later page."
"……gossip?"
Ludwig was vaguely aware of something.
"It's about some customs and customs of the colony~www.wuxiaspot.com~specialties and climate content." Leon added, and pointed out the location in the newspaper for the two:
"If these rumors are true, then those people in the new world are the same believers of the Ring of Order as we are, but there are still some remnants of the Universal Church during the war of sects splitting, plus many indigenous people who have never been blessed by the true God. ."
"Even those indigenous people have begun to convert their beliefs with the efforts of local believers and priests, and become a part of the shrouded in the light of the ring of order. It is not at all... a heresy that needs to be smashed!"
Speaking of the end, Leon couldn't help but raised his head and cast his questioning eyes to William Cecil opposite. After all, he was the only one who had really been to the new world among the people present.
But William was not in the mood to explain his doubts for him at this time, and looked at Ludwig with a solemn gaze: "If this kind of news spreads, it is likely to become the fuse of the riot."
Ludwig nodded slightly and wrote lightly:
"I can probably guess who the spreader is."
