I Will Be The Crowned King

The latest website: "That's right! With the cooperation and mediation of the Holy See, the jihadist army has completed the first stage of assembly at the beginning of this month, that is, on April 5th, and has formulated a complete and comprehensive attack plan for the new world!"

Inside the Xiaolongcheng Palace, Bernard Morwes put on a formal suit carefully prepared by his wife, and shouted loudly under the gilt vault with his head held high.

Standing in the center of the hall, he proudly looked around, looking at the officials holding files in their hands, the princes in fancy clothes and crowns, the blood of the seven great knights... the center of the entire empire, the rulers who hold great power, Including the figure on the Golden Throne, they were all sitting or standing quietly, listening to their speeches.

Although he didn't want this war to break out from the bottom of his heart, at this moment Bernard really felt a sense of pride; once in Hantu, in Yangfan City, he was defeated again and again, and the rout struck his confidence beyond measure, and now they are all back. .

"The Grand Fleet, the Clovis Royal Fleet, and all the generous donors who support the jihad and are willing to dedicate to their faith have assembled more than 2,000 warships for the jihad army! Although 50% of them are the most common three-masted sailing ships, as a large army Backup, more than enough!"

"In the first stage, the Crusaders will transport four legions, with a total of 100,000 people taking the lead across the sea to attack the colonies of the New World; their task is to capture coastal ports, cities and road centers, castles and fortresses."

Bernard took a step forward, pulled out the saber from his waist, and slammed it on the map of the new world under his feet: "Sail City, Black Reef Harbor, Red Hand Bay, Beluga Harbor, and Slave Harbor. ."

"By taking four of the five ports at will, the colony will lose two-thirds of its arable land, three-fifths of its population, and nine-tenths of its industry, and be completely cut off from retreat, leaving only the inland and the last remaining Escape in the direction of the port."

The hall was silent.

"Why did they flee to the last port?"

And just when everyone was silent, a steady voice with a somewhat frivolous voice sounded from above the throne, and it spread to everyone's ears: "Since the coastline is lost, isn't it self-defeating to continue to evacuate to the port?"

"Your Majesty is wise, you can see the problem at a glance!"

The smiling Bernard bowed in the direction of the voice and bowed his head respectfully: "The reason is very simple, because the new world is different from the old continent, the climate is cold and the resources are scarce, if you can't get enough salt, Waterfowl and fish are replenished, and even if the remaining remnants can survive, there will soon be a food crisis, and eventually they will be self-defeating."

"And if the Mujahideen Army wants to attack five ports at the same time, it will not only increase the supply routes, resulting in the problem of untimely supply of materials, but also arouse the vigilance of the enemy and drive them inland to Grey Dove Castle, Winter Torch City, and also Or in the area of ​​Grey Snow Town."

"Although there is a shortage of materials, it is inland, with scarce roads, and supplies are very difficult; it cannot support an army of 10,000 people to travel long distances, and at the same time, it will weaken our maritime advantage and allow the enemy to find opportunities to take advantage of. "

"But if you deliberately leave a gap, you can let the other party get lucky. Even if you know it's a trap, you have to take risks, otherwise you will face a large-scale famine."

"So the focus of the first round of jihad is to conquer the four most important ports; and the top priority is to control Yangfan City!"

…………

"I totally agree with Archbishop Luther Franz."

Viscount Bogner stood up and bowed to Carlos II: "Only by controlling the Ice Dragon Fjord can we ensure that the first stage of the holy war is foolproof!"

As soon as the words fell, the important imperial officials present either nodded happily, or their eyes were solemn, and some were more straightforward, and directly wrote a disdainful expression on their faces.

As an important representative of the reformists in the Privy Council, Viscount Bogner, who has a good relationship with the Franz family, would have such remarks. The standard **** determines the head, and the position determines the IQ.

But Carlos II just nodded slightly, as if he didn't realize that this was a factional rivalry, or that he didn't care at all: "Viscount, please continue."

"Yes!" Viscount Bogner, who seemed to be victorious, chuckled, and raised his chest to pick up the prepared speech:

"Since the rebellion of the imperial colony last year, Yangfan City has not recovered its vitality. The Black Reef Port suffered heavy losses under the siege, and the Red Hand Bay was also defeated in the struggle against Longhu Town; only the Beluga Port was unscathed and relied on. The war made a huge fortune, and he also received an investment of nearly one million gold coins from the Roland family!"

"Not only that, but its geographical location is also very advantageous; to the east, you can enter the five colonies of the original Beihai Three Kingdoms from Huixue Town; to the north, you can remotely control Winter Torch City, which is the deepest inland of the New World; Lake Town, and then bring Red Hand Bay under control."

"Besides, this is the colony of Clovis. If Major General Ludwig can control the Ice Dragon Fjord, the difficulty of communication and supply will be much less than other areas."

"In addition, the Beluga Port is still the closest port to the New World from the North Port; regardless of the direction, it is the best choice to occupy this place first."

Bogner put his hands on the table, raised his eyes and looked at Carlos: "Therefore, I sincerely suggest that His Majesty issue a recall to the Mujahideen in the name of Clovis, and let the Ludwig Legion, as the vanguard of the first group of Mujahideen, control the Ice Dragon Fjord, as the bridgehead of the entire Jihad Legion!"

Almost before he could finish speaking, many people across the long table frowned.

"Viscount... and the thoughts of the Archbishop, I probably already understand." Carlos said solemnly:

"Be the first to control the Ice Dragon Fjord, so as to prevent it from being ravaged by war in the following wars, because the first batch of jihadist legions to arrive are the Clovis people, and the supplies are still sufficient, and they will not be affected by the local area. Excessive pressure can reduce the damage to the local area and even Clovis, right?"

"exactly!"

Viscount Bogner couldn't hide the smug smile on his face: "Just a little adjustment in the order of the attack can avoid unnecessary losses to Clovis; since we have not spoken in the strategic deployment of the jihad before, then this point 'Small requests' will certainly not be rejected by the Empire and the Church."

"Humph!"

A sneer suddenly sounded in the conference room, and the figure sitting directly opposite Bogner suddenly stood up: "Your Excellency the Viscount is right, the Empire and the Church probably really won't refuse."

"But there is one thing, have you forgotten?"

"Oh?" Bogner also raised his chin impolitely:

"What do you mean?"

…………

"That is Anson Bach, the Colonial Commander of Clovis, who has officially declared his rebellion, proclaimed himself the Governor of Ice Dragon Fjord and joined the so-called 'Free Confederation'!"

Bernard looked around, his eyes getting hotter and hotter: "This means that they have completely chosen to break with the world of order and join the camp of the heretics."

"Anson Bach, the Storm Legion and the entire Ice Dragon Fjord have completely become part of the Old God Sect!"

Gu scratch

"If I expect it right, Clovis will definitely make a request to let their only jihadist army set out first to control Beluga Port as a bridgehead in the New World and a base camp connected to the rear, so as to reduce their involvement in this war. Loss."

"But now because of Anson Bach's betrayal, the situation has changed dramatically; Beluga Port is already one of the most powerful and prosperous colonies in the entire New World, and its status is not in Sail City... No, even more than Sail City. The essential!"

Bernard slammed his scabbard on the map with a scabbard, as if flames were burning in his pupils: "Because the main stronghold of the Rune family is also in Beluga Harbor."

…………

"In other words, Beluga Port is already the base camp of the old gods in the whole new world!"

Facing the increasingly ugly eyes of Viscount Bogner, the other party replied without showing weakness: "How can such a place be allowed to be let go by the church, or even re-belonged to Clovis?"

"On the contrary, in order to prove our innocence, shouldn't we take the initiative to avoid suspicion, and even actively participate in the attack on the Ice Dragon Fjord, to destroy Anson Bach and the rebellion of the Storm Legion, to prove Clovis' devotion to the Ring of Order? "

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Bogner, who was obviously looking bad, and the reformers whose eyes were full of anger. Then he looked at the important officials of the kingdom on his side and smiled with disdain in his eyes.

The mood and atmosphere were rapidly changing on both sides of the long table in front of Carlos II.

Viscount Bogner, who was choked, was full of confusion. Of course he knew the news that Ansen Bach had betrayed; to be honest, if he hadn't seen it in the newspapers with his own eyes, he couldn't have imagined the seemingly "very honest" young officer. , would do such a crazy act.

Even if the kingdom was assigned to the colony as an exile after your victory in the vast land, even if the kingdom did not support every single soldier when you fought against the imperial colony; even if the kingdom really intended to treat you as an abandoned child to attract The attention of the empire...

As a loyal minister of the kingdom, you shouldn't even say hello without saying hello.

Don't you know how passive this makes Clovis? !

Bogner didn't understand. Obviously, Archbishop Luther Franz should have told him the whole story and information. Why did Anson Bach still make such a crazy move?

…………

"Because that's his choice."

Gently sipping the mellow black tea, Luther Franz said in a tone that was not mixed with any emotion: "The news came in early April, which means that Ansen Bach will make a decision no earlier than the end of February; It means that he did not premeditate earlier, but the intelligence we gave led him to make this seemingly crazy decision."

"To be honest, it wasn't entirely unexpected, but I was a little surprised."

"surprise?"

The girl sitting opposite the old man looked back stiffly, and the low voice seemed to be an echo from her soul.

"Very surprised." The Archbishop nodded slightly:

"It's astonishing that he insisted on rebelling until he had accurate information."

Sophia Franz: "…"

Holding the "Cloway Truth", which still smells of ink, and the headline of "Ice Dragon Fjord Mutiny" is written on the front page, the girl is like an out of body; no matter what happens to the little maid Angelica behind her Calling anxiously, the father in front of him was talking endlessly, and there was no expression on that beautiful face.

She really didn't understand why she had always been loyal to herself and the liar who had sworn allegiance to her. Why was she so decisive that she abandoned her oath and was willing to really be with the old gods who were destined to be beaten by everyone?

Obviously, he has firmly tied his interests, or can't stop him from seeking his own death?

Did the Rune family give too much?

impossible! The Luen family is indeed rich, but compared with the Franz family, in terms of quantity and quality, their side is obviously better.

And listening to his father's tone, it seems that it is rare for this big liar to defect until now, and the factors that led to his rebellion have already appeared.

etc!

Sophia's eyes suddenly widened: "I understand - this is exactly Anson Bach's plan!"

Um?

In the warm living room, both the old man and the little maid raised their heads subconsciously and looked at the girl who jumped up from the sofa.

"The reason is very simple. If the Storm Legion is still the army of Clovis, then in order to dispel suspicion, Anson Bach must clean up the Rune family in the Ice Dragon Fjord; but for an old **** with an apostle and a thousand-year history As far as the giants are concerned, this is obviously self-defeating behavior."

"So this cheat... He changed a new way of thinking and chose to join; even in order to prove his loyalty to the Rune family, he announced his betrayal of Clovis in a high-profile manner." Sophia, who "figured it out" at once, lit up her eyes. With the father and the maid talking eloquently:

"With the trust of the Rune family in this way, the Storm Legion can take over the defense of the entire colony without being monitored by the other party; once the war breaks out, he can better cooperate with his dear brother, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Fake defeat to save the entire Ice Dragon Fjord from the ravages of war."

"All in all, the so-called 'rebellion' is nothing but a complacency to the Rune family; Anson Bach is still loyal to me... our Franz family!"

She originally wanted to say "be loyal to yourself", but then realized that it might arouse her father's disgust; after all, the heir of the Franz family is still a disgusting elder brother, exposing his strength and ambition prematurely, and being young and young as a woman. very disadvantageous.

After speaking, the girl looked at the two with strong confidence, waiting for their evaluation.

There was silence.

Looking at Sophia, who was suddenly ecstatic, as if she had come to a realization, the little maid was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the archbishop who was about to speak, and the pleading and pitiful eyes made the latter understand.

So the old man took a deep breath and showed his daughter an unprecedented serious expression:

"Indeed...it's very possible!"
