I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 153: untie

"I will be crowned king (!

Black Reef Harbor, downtown area.

Under the choking billowing black smoke, the battalion commander of the Imperial Cuirassier Battalion raised his monocular and, with the help of the starry sky and the firelight, watched the figures that were heading towards the town in the direction of the city gate.

Even if it is impossible to distinguish people in the dark, there are no less than 2,000 people who can already see them; and they have broken through the barriers set up by the imperial cavalry at the city gates, pouring into the chaotic city like a torrent.

"Go on and get everyone ready." He turned his head expressionlessly and looked at the head of the Hussar regiment who was temporarily serving as his deputy:

"If nothing else, we will have to retreat soon."

"Withdraw... this is going to leave?!"

The Hussar Commander was taken aback, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "Why? I mean... Didn't Lord Bernard order us to break through the Council and capture the members and officers of Black Reef Harbor? "

"First of all, it's not 'this is going to happen', but 'soon'." The cuirassier battalion commander glanced at him sharply, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said blankly:

"Secondly, our most important task is to create turmoil and chaos in Black Reef Harbor City, and disrupt the enemy's order as much as possible - as long as this is achieved, the task has been completed."

"As for the traitors in Black Reef Harbor...their life and death can't have much impact; now the conflict between Black Reef Harbor and the advance army has completely erupted, and no one can easily reverse it."

"But after all, this is the order of the Colonial Minister." The hussar commander was still a little worried, with a worried expression:

"Just defying the military order so blatantly, will it..."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

The Cuirassier battalion commander didn't turn his head back, and there was a bit of sarcasm at the corners of his mouth: "I can even bet you that when we go back, the chief minister will not say a word, and even will Rewards us for being 'responsive' and avoiding greater losses."

"Well, why is that?"

"You shouldn't ask 'why', you should ask 'why'."

"Then... why?"

"Because we are the only army in the entire counter-insurgency army that will carry out his orders without compromise."

The Cuirassier battalion commander put away his binoculars, and his sight once again passed over the Black Reef Port defenders who had entered the city in the distance; the roaring footsteps were getting closer and closer to them, and in ten minutes, their vanguard would find out myself.

This is not good news.

The Clovis people of the advance army are about to control the council. If they cannot be evacuated from Black Reef Harbor as soon as possible, they will be mixed in. If the existence of the "imperial assassins" is confirmed, the plan to stir up conflicts between the two sides will also be will go bankrupt.

"How is the situation of the troop that sweeps the tail, have you gotten rid of the pursuit of those Clovis people?"

"Not yet...not yet!" The hussar regiment commander paid attention to his words with a little emphasis, and said nervously: "The skirmishers sent from the opposite side are biting very hard, and our people can't shake them off no matter how hard they are."

"Then wait for them for another ten minutes. If they still can't, send a signal to cover them, and allow them to reveal their whereabouts if necessary." The cuirassier battalion commander glanced at him again:

"Also... the emphasis on 'temporary' in this context is purely redundant."

"Uh, obey, obey!"

The Hussar commander who was blocked could only nod his head and say yes, and before leaving, he did not forget to salute the other party's back:

"Thank you for the reminder, Sir Sadow!"

………………

Just when the attempt to sneak attack on the Parliament failed, and the Imperial cavalry, who were pursued by the Storm Division Skirmisher Company and the Guard Company, planned to run away, the Black Reef Port defenders, who were urgently returning to defend, entered the city from three sides at the same time - the one guarding the city wall. The imperial cavalry, aware of the number of opponents, did not dare to obstruct anything, and let the defenders pass the city gate without firing a shot.

Amid the cluttered footsteps, the nervous Black Reef Harbor militiamen crowded together, forming four untidy columns on a street that was definitely not spacious, trotting to suppress the riots while advancing toward the parliament.

On the opposite side of them, the assembled "advance army" has successfully controlled the parliament and its surrounding streets and annexes; the line soldiers who have re-dressed in Clovis' uniforms have launched a defensive formation around the square and are ready for a confrontation. Prepare.

Due to the requirement of a certain commander-in-chief's "perfect plan", the line soldiers did not arrange any defensive facilities - roadblocks, horse resistance, foxholes... In front of the defenders of Heijiao Harbor, there were only rows of lines. And two hollow squares, a total of less than a thousand line infantry.

Even so, compared to the "friendly" Storm Division soldiers, they still seem to be very calm; after all, after the Beluga Harbor Incident, the Battle of Long Lake Town and the riots in Winter Torch City, the entire legion has a lot to do with the "rabble crowd". The word has a new understanding different from that of Hantu.

It is an exaggeration to say that even if there is a company of imperial troops on the opposite side, they dare not relax their vigilance like they are now.

In addition to the "commander-in-chief of the advance army", Lieutenant Colonel Alexei himself.

Even when everyone around him was calm, he still tightened his heartstrings and did not dare to look at the group of allies who were getting closer and closer to him.

Due to the development of the situation, the "perfect plan" of a certain commander-in-chief has long been exceeded.

According to the initial assumptions of the two men: Anson is responsible for negotiating with the Black Reef Harbor Council. If the negotiation can be reached, the crisis will be lifted; if the negotiation cannot be reached or an accident occurs, his "commander-in-chief" will use the attempted attack as an excuse. The raid on the parliament interrupted the negotiations and forced the parliament to temporarily hand over command of the army to them.

As for whether the other party will resist privately... Anyway, according to the time, the main force will arrive a week later at the latest, and the two can still be sure if they can withstand the pressure and persist for a week.

But no one expected that the defenders of Black Reef Harbor would want to escape, let alone that the Empire really sent a group of "assassins" to attack the Parliament!

According to the report of Captain Marcus, the opponent's strength is quite strong; not only can it break through the all-round fire blockade of the line private, but also get rid of the pursuit of the guard company-because of this, Miss Lisa bit two pieces. A licorice stick and half a dozen cans were barely enough to get rid of it.

With this strength, if they were to let them know that the commander-in-chief was in Black Reef Harbor... what would happen, Alexei didn't even dare to think about it.

"Stop moving forward!"

The hoarse screams sounded, and the Black Reef Port defenders divided into three columns and appeared around the parliament to confront the advance army.

The soldiers in the first row of the two sides were only ten meters apart—the distance of a short charge—the right hand clinging to the trigger of the weapon, the sharp bayonet glittering under the muzzle, and they glared at each other.

A movement, a sound, a gesture... all may become a signal for war.

Perhaps because of the shoulder wound, Alexei felt his cheeks twitch slightly, and he glanced at the parliament door behind him nervously.

Commander-in-chief... How long will it take for him to get those members of parliament? If he waits like this, the other side may not be able to hold back!

………………

"ten minutes."

In the dimly lit basement, Anson's words were like hot lead bullets, hitting the hearts of Black Reef Harbor officers and councillors one by one:

"I'll give you another ten minutes to make up your mind... Either give the command of the army to the advance army, or let the 50,000 people of Black Reef outside know that you plan to abandon them and run away alone."

Under the depressing atmosphere, the frowning crowd felt a chill behind their backs, and they all shuddered.

Pushwood, who was tied to a chair, looked at the figure in the shadow and clenched his fists involuntarily.

He suddenly had the illusion that the guy outside who claimed to be the "commander-in-chief of the advance army" was just a fake puppet, and the young man in front of him was the real Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Dukasky.

Slightly recovered from the trance, Pushwood coughed twice: "Cough—Captain Alan Dawn, then, that we..."

"If you're going to say anything about a price like 'at least in name', in order to save everyone's time, you can shut up." Anson interrupted rudely, completely losing the gentleness at the beginning:

"The premise of negotiation is sincerity, and your betrayal betrays our mutual trust, so... Now is the time for you to show your sincerity."

As he spoke, he took out his pocket watch from his arms, gently opened the cover with a "pop!", and showed the dial to everyone:

"You have eight minutes left."

Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads, not daring to look directly into An Sen's line of sight.

Pushwood's face was extremely ugly.

"If that's the case, then why do you need to seek our opinion?" With gritted teeth, Pushwood said with difficulty:

"Anyway, we're already your hostages. Use us to force the defenders of Heijiao Port directly. They have to agree if they don't agree."

"Because of unity."

Anson has the answer.

"...Unity?"

"Although you don't care, unity is of the utmost importance to the Confederacy, to the entire United Front - otherwise, let alone defeating the Empire, even if you want to maintain the status quo, it is impossible."

"You... the commander-in-chief of Beluga Harbor, does he really believe that he can defeat the Empire?"

"Of course, and the Free Confederacy will eventually be free, and must be free!" Anson raised his voice slightly:

"Independence or demise, there is no second way, not just you, but us too - five minutes to go."

"Do you really think Black Reef Harbor can be held?" Pushwood still couldn't believe it:

"We have been holding on for more than ten days, and the entire city has run out of ammunition and food; what's the point of holding on for another day or two? What about the reinforcements, how long will the reinforcements wait?!"

"The reinforcements will come, and soon."

Anson remained calm: "But the premise for the reinforcements to keep Black Reef Harbor is that the city has not fallen; otherwise, even if they can arrive as scheduled, the reinforcements that have lost their support points will not be able to compete with the imperial army that is waiting for them - three minutes."

Pushwood fell silent.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Ten minutes... Anson put away his pocket watch, and just as he closed the cover, there was a heavy knock on the door of the basement.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

Everyone trembled and looked at the direction where the sound came from.

"Enter!"

An Sen said expressionlessly, and put the pocket watch into his jacket pocket.

The closed door was pushed open again, and the person who appeared was Marcos, the commander of the Private Company of the Second Battalion.

As soon as he entered the door, he was startled by the scene in front of him: four guards who fell to the ground with unknown life and death, a group of congressmen and officers who were tied to chairs and unable to move, a messy conference room... and sitting in a lamp shadow Down, hold the revolver at the commander-in-chief of everyone!

But the situation has given him no time to be surprised... Just as Marcus was about to step forward, Anson spoke again:

"stop!"

"Yes!"

Although it was unclear what was going on, Marcus resolutely obeyed the order.

"Please tell me, what's the matter?" An Sen said coldly:

"Lieutenant Colonel Alexey specifically asked you to inform me, Captain Markos, and to interrupt such an important meeting, there must be a particularly important situation."

Despite the addition of titles and honorifics, "Captain Alan Dawn" is still a condescending tone - at least in Pushwood's eyes.

Marcus didn't think so much, and honestly repeated what Alexei told him:

"The Imperial Assassins failed to attack the lieutenant colonel, and they bombarded the port in anger. All four warships and the port were destroyed. Fortunately, the advance army has been evacuated ahead of schedule, and there were no casualties - over!"

"What did you say?!"

"The ship sank?!"

"Imperial bombardment of ports?!"

Exclamations came and went in the small basement, and everyone who could barely calm down just now couldn't hold it anymore.

An Sen's pupils shrunk slightly, but fortunately, he used the pipe and shadow to cover the change in his face, and quickly returned to normal, calmly said:

"Understood, is there anything else?"

"Also, there is one more little thing!" Marcus quickly added:

"Because the Empire bombarded the port and dispatched assassins to set fire to the city and attack innocent people, the Black Reef Port militia originally stationed in the outer defense line entered the city one after another and cooperated with the advance army to suppress the unrest!"

"At present, after consultation and selection by the grass-roots commanders of the militia, because Lieutenant Colonel Alexei has the highest position and is the commander-in-chief of the advance army, he is the commander-in-chief - but Lieutenant Colonel Alexei said that this matter still needs parliamentary approval, so I came here. Ask if you can ask the members of the parliament to come forward and grant it temporarily!"

As soon as the voice fell, Pushwood was instantly pale.

The only hope of escaping is gone, and the biggest trump card has become someone else's~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even myself is taken as a hostage... Even if the advance army kills them all, they can all be pushed to the head of the Empire, and it is a logical takeover Black Reef Harbor.

Lost, myself... and the entire Black Reef Harbor Council, lost completely.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The muzzle tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, and Anson, who had no expression on his face, slowly got up, walked towards the tying to the chair, Senator Pushwood, with the calmness of a winner, and stopped humbly three steps away from him. , put your hands behind you and lean forward slightly:

"Dear Senator Pushwood, may I ask..."

"Do you need me to untie you?"
