I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 358: the way things are

Latest URL: "To Anson Bach:

I don't know the exact time when you received this letter, but if the Ring of Order is blessed, I hope it should be no later than late March.

But even if things go sour to an outcome that neither of us want, the content of this letter should still give you some sense of what's going on, what's going on - at least I hope so.

First of all, as you should already know somewhat... Clovis has decided to abandon the colonies, prompting the Empire to reverse its offensive, gain an edge on the frontier fronts, and even reach a truce.

I bring this up just in case you still have concerns or luck, and from this moment on I can assure you that you will not be held accountable from Clovis for anything you do next; you can In fact, run the Ice Dragon Fjord as your governorship, or even an independent territory.

In contrast, the mainland can no longer give you any reinforcements, and it will even cut off the connection with you, and even include some trade with the colonies - considering the speed at which normal news spreads to the new world, the impact of the latter may not be until this year. It will be reflected in the second half of the year, seize this last time difference, and prepare as much as possible in the face of the upcoming war.

Because it is not the Empire that will declare war on the New World, but the Church—more precisely, the entire Old World.

In order to fight for interference in the secular power, the Church of Order is mobilizing a holy war against the New World; it will be a force that encompasses the entire world of Order, with a force of about 100,000 to 150,000 people, well-equipped to completely destroy the so-called "" Armed groups targeting the Free Confederation and Universalism and all heretical beliefs.

Clovis, among them.

By mid-May at the latest, the Church of Order will declare this holy war to the world and reveal the "true identity" of the Rune family; hunting the apostles and eradicating all the strength of the Rune family is another goal of theirs.

Therefore, the Ice Dragon Fjord Colony is also within the scope of this jihad, and it is even very likely to become the main landing site of the jihadist army; in addition to the jihadist army assembled by the armies of various countries, the Knights of Judgment and the Inquisition will also join the attack on the Ice Dragon Sequence of fjords.

I have to warn you that this war is not an impromptu initiative of the Church, and even if you do not start a war that will change the pattern of the new world, it will still appear, just in different forms; remove the church's enthusiasm for secular interference, and at the same time It involves the conflict of interests between the Holy See and the various dioceses.

You don't need to know too much about this, just understand that the leader behind this war is the Holy See and the Pope himself, not the entire Church of Order.

In this war, the church must achieve two goals: establish two or three parishes in batches in the new world, hunt down the Apostle Rune and eliminate all the forces involved with it.

In the "faction" divided by the church, you and your Storm Legion are not included for the time being - of course, only temporarily.

These two goals must be achieved and must be achieved, for which the church is willing to pay any price; Clovis will delay the start of the war as much as possible, but the empire is very likely to facilitate the early war, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages , may have some impact on the war, maybe not.

With the current situation alone, the last window you can win is June, and the jihadist army will be assembled and set off to the new world by early summer at the latest; but at least after March, the attitude of the old continent will be against you and yours. The colonies of the New World are rapidly deteriorating; don't take any chances, let alone win any allies; no matter which side you decide to stand on, fighting alone is inevitable—this is the final reminder.

Luther Franz. "

...putting down the letterhead in his hand, the young knight sitting in front of the desk looked like water.

The night outside the house was dyed ink-colored by dark clouds and storms, and no light could be seen.

Although he couldn't see it, the turbid waters of Beluga Harbor and the Ice Dragon Fjord perfectly explained Louis Bernard's state of mind at the moment... He slowly raised his head and found that the man was also looking at himself. The sculpturally stiff expression is full of complexity and despair after shock.

"Why are you telling me?"

In addition to being surprised, there was still a bit of confusion in Louie's eyes. He really couldn't understand how the guy in front of him suddenly became candid, and he also took out such important information - it seems that this should be done by himself. stupid thing.

"Because we are friends."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Louis found that Anson's voice became a little hoarse and his eyes were obviously decadent: "More importantly, Louis Bernard, I need your help."

"If the army of 100,000 jihadists really arrives in the new world, even if the army of the Ice Dragon Fjord and the Free Confederation are tied together, there is no chance of winning - of course, taking advantage of the terrain and various coastal fortifications, retreating to the pass Dangerous shoals, maybe you can really win a few battles, and deal with it for a few months or even more than a year..."

"But when the coastal colonies were captured one by one, the rivers and roads were occupied by the Mujahideen army one after another, more and more farms and warehouses were controlled, and the limited amount of arms was continuously consumed, we..."

"We have no chance of winning." Anson smiled bitterly: "This is only 100,000 jihadist troops. If they have 150,000, or even 200,000, oh yes, and the Knights of Judgment must be added, what would it be like? A scene?"

"The battle of the Royal Court of Iser, you must have some impression of the airship that dropped the 'fire rain' from the sky, am I right?"

"Impressed." The young knight nodded:

"However, given the distance between the old continent and the new world, I don't think the Knights of Judgment will use it; if there is, there won't be many."

"Yeah, there won't be many." Anson hummed:

"One... only one airship is needed to destroy the artillery positions of the Storm Legion, no more difficult than a walk."

Louis frowned slightly, and after being silent for a few seconds, he showed a somewhat unbearable expression: "But you still have options, don't you?"

"Archbishop Luther Franz made it very clear that the Church of Order is currently only targeting the Ice Dragon Fjord, not including you and your Storm Legion—even the Shooting Corps, and the New World Corporation—although I I don't know why."

"But even if you can't join the Crusaders, you still have the opportunity to distance yourself from the Rune family and the Free Confederation, and ask the Church and the Crusaders to provide... protection as the Clovis army, and avoid this war that has nothing to do with you. ."

"not related?!"

The expressionless Anson suddenly raised his voice: "If this is said from someone else's mouth, it may be excusable, but you, Louis Bernard, how could you also think that this war has nothing to do with me?! "

"I…"

"The Free Confederacy was established, Bernard Wilts was defeated, the Crecy family perished, the gravekeeper attacked, the Rune family... You're welcome, I was one of the fuses of this war!"

"As for the so-called...has nothing to do with me?" Anson shook his head, his expression became more and more ironic:

"Why do you think someone as smart as Archbishop Luther Franz would remind me of this?"

Why?

Facing the meaningful eyes of his best friend, the young knight opened his mouth and hesitated.

"This is a hint." Anson sneered:

"Clovis is still a colony, Franz is still a Rune... He is asking me to make a two-choice question: I am still the youngest brigadier general of Clovis; The remnants of the gods."

"But this is because the Archbishop has too little information. He doesn't understand that from the moment Rune arrives at Beluga Port, I have no choice."

Louis lowered his head and let out a long sigh.

Persuading Anson to cut up with the Rune family was originally part of his goal of the trip.

But when he saw the expression of his best friend, or more precisely the moment he handed the letter to himself, the young knight immediately realized that it was impossible.

Except that the power of the Rune family has spread throughout the Free Confederation and is closely related to the interests of all colonies; openly rebelling against an apostle ... as brave as Louis Bernard, also understands that it is an act of suicide.

In fact, even now, he couldn't imagine how the church could hunt down an apostle—and it was a Rune who had existed for thousands of years and had once defeated another apostle.

Even if Ansen Bach really "betrayed" Rune and joined the jihadist army, what would the result be?

The Church of Order already has his handle. For such a blasphemous mage who has a clear "apostate" behavior, will he really be let go when he loses his use value?

Louis hoped it would, but that's impossible - otherwise he wouldn't have gone incognito and escaped to the new world with Freya.

In this regard, his and Anson's situation are actually similar. Even if he cooperates with the actions of the Crusaders as much as possible as his father said, but based on Louis's understanding of the Knights of Judgment, he does not believe that those people will be willing to let go of those who pose no threat to them. Elf girl.

"…what you up to?"

Frowning his brows tightly, the young knight even lowered his voice subconsciously, and looked at Anson's eyes with complex rays of light.

"I want to prevent certain things from happening, or... let what is about to happen become something else." Anson said sternly:

"The Church of Order is going to form a crusade, the empire is going to take back its former colony, and Clovis is going to abandon us in exchange for an advantage over the empire on the battlefield... We can't stop these things, and it's too late to save them."

"But those people, those sitting in palaces, salons, or even their own bedrooms, ambitiously planning wars and thinking they can control the whole situation, are not invulnerable."

"In a head-on battle, we can't defeat an army of 100,000 people, let alone the well-equipped and talented legions of the Knights of Judgment, but we are not vulnerable enough to be easily defeated; our people are not as united as they seem. "

"And the way to defeat them, Archbishop Luther Franz has told us in his letter."

Hearing this, Louis, whose heart was originally heavy, moved.

"You mean..."

"Defeat Rune and establish a parish—this is the ultimate goal of the entire jihad." Anson took a deep breath, and his decadent eyes began to shine again:

"As long as these two goals are accomplished, the church can declare the jihad a success; but exactly how to defeat Rune and who will establish the parish is a... quite broad concept."

"We can't defeat the entire Crusaders, let alone organize the church in order; the strength gap between the two sides is too great, even if the whole new world is united, it can't be done." Anson stood up and turned his back to the young knight:

"But we still have to fight, at least to thwart their arrogance, let the church... let those who didn't want to join the fight understand that defeating us will cost a lot more than them. Tolerable expectations.”

"Hantu, Clovis, and even within the empire, I believe that not everyone agrees with this war, but is forced to join in because of reality... wooing, bribing, bribing, and then defeating it head-on, let the Church of Order do its best The organized army will fall apart before reaching its goal!"

"Only then will they be willing to sit down and negotiate with us, compromise, and make concessions; the best way to stop a war is to make the initiator feel the pain and let him clearly understand what a serious mistake he has made."

"And to do this, I need your help." Anson slowly looked back:

"Louis Bernard, I need you to fight your country and even... your faith."

"For a new, peaceful new world."

The young knight's body trembled slightly.

He didn't speak, but the look in Anson's eyes gradually changed.

Standing up, he walked to the door, his right hand that could slash a bullet with a sharp blade tightly gripped the door handle.

"When I came this time, I brought Freya with me." This time, the one left for the other party's back was Louis:

"Think of a way to wake her up for me."

"Okay." Anson nodded:

"must."

"Well, definitely."

With a light breath, the young knight pushed the door and left the room.

A few minutes later, Norton Crosell, who was guarding the door, walked in, cautiously as if afraid that a certain sea knight would suddenly appear.

"That... Commander-in-Chief, there is something I want to ask." The third infantry commander's expression was very strange:

"Why did you show the letter to Louis Bernard when you were sure of persuading him—and you forged it?"

"It's very simple, first of all, I didn't forge Luther Franz's letter - just copied it again, UU reading www.uukanshu.com by the way revised some of the wording, and deleted some words that were not suitable for Louis to know immediately. Information."

Anson Bach, who had been impassioned a second ago, now sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, glared at him: "Secondly, it's a good way to show sincerity, especially for some... honest people."

"But…"

"No, but now the situation is that my plan has succeeded, and the success is perfect - to establish a solid information channel with the Bernard family, and by the way to ensure that the sailing city will not go against the water." Ansen interrupted forcibly:

"Now... has the messenger arrived?"

"It's here, right in Alan Dawn's office—no one noticed."

"Very good." Anson put down the coffee cup:

"Take me to meet him!"
