I Will Be The Crowned King

I will be crowned king Chapter 497 I have to reason

East of Longhu Town, on the way to Grey Snow Town.

After finalizing the truce time limit with the Mujahideen, Louis did not delay for a minute, and led the Mujahideen, the Supreme Council, and the afflicted people to evacuate westward; only for a short stay in Longhu Town for two days, and then set off again, And brought in some local colonists who were willing to leave.

This is not because Changhu Town has no danger to defend. On the contrary, as a bridgehead to curb Clovis' expansion in the New World, Changhu Town is the only two imperial colonies with complete city defense construction, and even has its own arsenal— Although it was moved away by Anson long ago - plus a rather hidden gold mine.

The disadvantage is that it is far away from the coastline and there is no good harbor, and shipping needs to rely on rivers; but at the moment when the jihadist army is invading, this disadvantage can even be regarded as an advantage. After all, as long as the warship cannot go ashore, it will obviously reduce the pressure on the New World Legion. .

The problem is that Beluga Harbor has been occupied, which means that if you want to hold on to Changhu Town, you must be prepared to be besieged on both sides and cut off at any time. Therefore, even if the conditions are not much worse, Grey Snow Town is the best of the New World Legion. s Choice.

Of course, it is impossible for the Free Confederation to be satisfied with such a decision, especially those colonial militiamen who have not experienced the Battle of Red Hand Bay, still confidently believe that there is no need to abide by the agreement with the enemy, and they can use Long Lake Town as a base and a springboard. , Quick attack to retake Beluga Harbor.

Their voices are not small, especially because the strength of Changhu Town is intact, and their right to speak within the Confederacy is obviously high; coupled with the material pressure caused by leaving their hometown and large-scale migration on the remaining colonies, many people actually have similar idea.

"The Guard is Here"

After small-scale riots and protests, but did not get any response, their arrogance quickly swelled, and they began to mobilize troops and forces from other colonies on a large scale. march.

In the past, for the sake of maintaining unity and stability, Louis would most likely agree to their proposal, and then try his best to overcome all difficulties and organize a siege of Beluga Harbor, even at the expense of his own reputation.

But now Louis Bernard is no longer the knight who once lived in seclusion in the chapel of Sail City, nor the younger brother who was full of yearning and anticipation for the war when the Thunder Fort besieged the position, and was meticulously cared for by his elder brother.

Without discussing it with Anson, he first expressed his willingness to consider the protesters' proposals, and immediately mobilized the Sail City Corps to surround the protesters when the other party relaxed Armed cuirassiers held their heads with their dark muzzles.

"I will not explain any more to you, for all the reasons I have already told everyone in the Legion, the Confederacy and the Council in detail; all of you, tell me with your loudest voice that you understand what I am searching for. !"

"Yes, you can protest, you can be dissatisfied! But this kind of protest and dissatisfaction is limited, and it must not be the reason for you to refuse to obey orders!"

"Soldiers, soldiers, your duty is to obey! Members of the parliament, you have sworn and promised to hand over the military to me; your promise, your duty, must be fulfilled!"

"And now you've crossed the insurmountable border, violated the regulations, and the price of disobedience... is to be shot on the spot!"

"Of course, most of you can breathe a sigh of relief, because I won't kill all of you; I know that many of you are just aroused by emotions, plus the friendship between friends and companions Had to join...but that's no excuse either!"

"Therefore, my decision is as follows: The leader shall be shot on the spot and punished as desertion! The rest, etc., shall not be punished in any way; but you yourself and your family shall not join the Faithful Alliance, and shall not join any colonial council. Or the farm, let alone participate in the next battle to retake Beluga Harbor - my legion, not a group of deserters who will disobey at any time!"

"And I want you to remember that those who were shot died because of you - your impulsive, self-righteous, reckless and irrational actions that killed them!"

That day, the New World Corps shot one hundred and forty-seven people, one by one, because Louis insisted on looking each of them in the eye and making travel decisions one by one.

The execution lasted from day to night. When the executioner blew the head of the last executed prisoner, he would have been excited. The painful legionnaires were already numb, completely numb... After the start the next day, no one objected to Louis. Bernard's order.

From Changhu Town to Grey Snow Town, it took less than two weeks for the New World Legion to travel for more than ten days.

Just entering the Ice Dragon Fjord, less than ten kilometers away from Beluga Port, I encountered the response force sent by the Chief of Staff—the commander of the Third Infantry, Norton Crosell, standing on the only road of the legion. Wait and wait.

This shocked the New World Legion who retreated all the way. Could it be that the Storm Legion stationed in Grey Snow Town had already started to organize a counterattack before they could do it?

……………………

"How is that possible!"

Facing Louis Bernard's confusion, Norton Crosell, who laughed dumbly, answered his question while organizing the soldiers to arrange temporary accommodation for the legion and refugees: "The Storm Legion has only nearly 10,000 people, and has just experienced a long-distance The rapid march is exhausted, and the most elite grenadier regiment is lacking, what can I do to retake Beluga Harbor?"

"That you…"

"We have reached an agreement with Major General Ludwig." Norton explained. He took the Ice Dragon Fjord map from the messenger on the side and hung it on the wall. "Crack!" Whale Harbor Location:

"The Storm Legion will not act rashly, but Major General Ludwig must leave to us the large and small farms outside the town...especially the High Council, the shooting barracks, and the steel factory; the headquarters, the town, the neighboring farms outside the town, the port and the port. The surrounding factories belong to them."

"So in theory, what Major General Ludwig has won is only the core area of ​​Beluga Harbor, and the entire periphery is still under the control of the Storm Legion and the local Faithful Alliance; there are even alliances in the city. Members - on the map, the city of Beluga Harbour is completely surrounded by strongholds that we control."

After speaking, Norton looked up at Anson apologetically: "All of the above are collective decisions made by all officers without asking you for instructions-because Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Carl Bain said that these are also You have made arrangements in advance."

"He's right." Anson nodded with a chuckle: "Your decision is correct. By controlling these strongholds, we will have important support to retake Beluga Harbor and room for maneuver when dealing with enemy attacks."

"Room... So we can really mobilize right now to take back the Moby Dick?!"

Louie, who shouted in a voiceless voice, turned his head back, his round eyes filled with surprise.

"Well, in theory, this is the case." Anson thought for a moment and gave a positive answer:

"With our current strength and preparation, if we organize a sneak attack immediately without saying hello, there is at least a 60% chance to retake Beluga Harbor and drive Major General Ludwig into the sea."

"But... at least for now, doing this is definitely not worth the loss." He suddenly changed the conversation: "Now we have managed to maintain a tacit understanding with Ludwig, and doing so will quickly lose him and the Clovis forces within the Mujahideen Army. The right to speak means all our previous efforts have been in vain."

"I'm not saying this because I'm a Cloviser, or out of affection for my old boss; it's simply because a frivolous ally is important to us right now if the Confederacy really wants to win this war. ." Anson's expression became solemn:

"And if I'm not mistaken, those strongholds... don't have many Stormtroopers stationed there."

"Ugh?!"

Louis was startled, looked back at Norton, and found that the other party just smiled awkwardly: "This, why is this?"

"Because it's not suitable." The commander of the third corps twitched the corners of his mouth: "If you really want to control these strongholds, it's impossible not to station two or three thousand people."

"On the one hand, the Storm Legion is still in the recuperation stage, and there is no way to organize such a large-scale mobilization immediately; on the other hand, if the trouble is so big, the Crusaders Command will definitely know that Ludwig cannot continue to pretend to be deaf and mute. Major General, we have to send troops to attack us."

"So several strongholds are said to be under control, but in fact, each of them has dispatched less than one company of skirmishers to monitor and patrol; because of the long distance, even their usual supplies are provided by Major General Ludwig." Norton He pointed to the surrounding farms again:

"Even when we came to meet everyone, we also greeted the major general in advance. In the past few days, there will be no sentinels and scouts from the Mujahideen Army passing by here, pretending not to exist... But the function is one week, and if it exceeds the time, it will be another time. I figured out a way."

What Norton said was not easy, but Louis was already stunned - he took the initiative to send supplies to the enemy's defenders, and the sentries and reconnaissance work of the two sides could also be discussed with each other. How could there be such a way of fighting?

"In addition, we also received an important news about the personnel changes of the jihadist army command."

Seeing that the young knight's brain had temporarily stopped thinking, Norton finally turned his eyes to Anson: "Grande Manfred, the nominal commander of the Crusaders, has been relieved of his duties and has become his adjutant, Sir Phileus. At the same time, an organization called the 'Thirteen Collegiate' was established to be responsible for the next military operations of the entire Mujahideen Army."

"Major Admiral Ludwig and Captain William Cecil are members of this composition."

Understood, the jihadist army can no longer have any military secrets, and don't expect any joint operations, let alone military operations... An Sen secretly said in his heart.

Thirteen people who are of equal status and have no upper and lower distinctions with each other make a joint decision, that is, nothing can be decided and nothing can be done, because there will always be people who disagree; even if a majority of the opinions pass, the losing side will inevitably counterattack. Make sure the plan fails to demonstrate your own foresight.

This result shows two things: the Holy See already knows that this jihad is likely to end badly, because there are no forces that are really willing to support him.

Secondly, the Holy See doesn't want to let it go, they are going to struggle again, even if they can say a little bit about their past achievements, it is good to complete the established goal of this holy war - even if it is only superficial.

Out of this entangled heart that can't save face, they will make this decentralization, expressing their willingness to "trust the Mujahideen's belief in the Ring of Order", so that a group of leaders who will definitely not listen to them. Be on an equal footing with yourself and work together to accomplish the great cause of jihad.

If that's the case, things actually work out better...

At the same time, Louis, who finally recovered a little from the shock, turned his head and looked at Anson smirking in a blank-eyed manner, frowning slightly: "Have you already made a plan?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, and the details need to be filled in." Anson did not intend to conceal or deny:

"But the specific direction is very clear."

"Say."

"We want to take back Beluga Port, win the Mujahideen Army, and then lose to the Holy See and the Mujahideen Army on the premise of winning." Anson concluded. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Louis, who frowned even more, was stunned for a few seconds, and then hesitantly said, "You mean... we must first defeat the Mujahideen Army, and then use this as a basis to negotiate with the other side?"

"No, no, not to beat them, but to beat them!"

"…What's the difference?"

"The difference is that the Mujahideen may not win, but it must not lose!"

As if he felt that what he said was not specific enough, Anson paused and sorted out the next words: "We must control the intensity of the war within a range just now, and we can't make it look like the jihadist army was defeated and lost to Free Confederation, that's absolutely not possible! If that's the case, this war really won't end easily!"

"So it must be that after the two sides experienced the war, they deeply realized that they did not have to kill each other; on the contrary, we should unite and fight against the forces of the old gods that were born and bred in this land!"

"The native land... But haven't those grave guards been almost eliminated by you, and the rest can't make a good climate at all." Louis shook his head:

"I know you want to divert your conflict and attention, but will it be too difficult?"

"Just because it's not good, it's suitable to be a target - nothing else, but it's easier to bully the dead than the living." An Sen spread his hands with a smile: "As long as you can win, then you just need to find a capable person. A good person who represents the Holy See and is willing to reason."

"Can it be done?"

"It's difficult." An Sen sighed:

"So we have to push them to the point where they have to be reasonable." +Bookmark+
