I will be crowned king

For the Molwes family, which has been cultivating the south for many years, the new world in the far north is a territory they have never touched; so when Bernard Molwes hastily took office as the governor of Sailing City, the entire New World The intelligence network is basically in a state of blindness.

The direct consequence of this is that he has always been very passive. Even though he has obtained the real power of the colonial minister, his control over his subordinates and grassroots is very weak, let alone intelligence.

It's not that he doesn't want to. In fact, as a chief of staff and administrator who has been helping others all year round, Bernard is very aware of the importance of collecting intelligence at the military and political levels; but the problem is that he, the minister-in-chief who took office "alone", There are no cronies in the entire Sailing City, and the only two people he knows are Ed Levent and Louis Bernard.

The former has a close relationship with him, but he has no friends in Yangfan City and can't help much, so it's better than nothing; the latter seems to still refuse to show up, deceiving himself and others and trying to make everyone believe that the girl next to him is just an ordinary elf girl. It has nothing to do with the Thirteen Elf Council of Yser.

In fact, what if it's Her Royal Highness the Princess herself? This is already a new world. As long as there is no trouble, who cares about this kind of thing - can the airship of the Judgment Knights cross the turbulent sea?

Because he has never been recognized by the local forces, and at the same time he can only barely convince the public in the army... So far, Bernard found that the most detailed information he could get was actually the "Beluga Port Good People".

Based on this extremely limited information, all he could tell was that after conquering Lake Town, the Clovis people temporarily satisfied their greed for territory, and at the same time encouraged various colonies to continue to resist the empire...that's all.

Although this did bring some turbulence to his counter-insurgency plan, considering the comparison of strength between the two sides, Bernard believed that as long as one colony was advanced and suppressed, sooner or later those people would be able to see the situation clearly and return to the golden iris. under its banner.

As for whether the army in Beluga Port will send troops for these colonies... Based on Bernard's understanding of the Clovis people, getting them to make selfless dedication and voluntary labor is about as difficult as getting the dragon to accept that they are related to turkeys. .

Therefore, after retaking Fort Gray Pigeon, Bernard did not continue to move eastward; on the one hand, he wanted to avoid irritating those colonies, and on the other hand, he also gave the Clovis people a false impression, making them mistakenly think that they could hold on to the pie that fell from the sky in Long Lake Town. , huddled on the cake plate that had been licked clean, don't hinder your next plan.

The performance of the Clovis people was also very much as they expected. After conquering Changhu Town, they did not advance even half a step forward, and they did not even win the Red Hand Bay, which was already within easy reach.

But what happened now was obviously beyond his prediction. The situation that originally seemed to be good seemed to take a turn for the worse overnight, turning into what Bernard least wanted to see.

Those liberals who rebelled against the colonies, they...

Actually united? !

In the luxurious governor's residence, Bernard, who was in a trance, slumped on his chair, looking blankly at the herald who was reading a newspaper to him with an almost dreamy expression:

[...When the first batch of colonists bravely crossed the turbulent sea and established a settlement under the protection of the Ring of Order, they...these brave pioneers secured two irrefutable rights for themselves and all their successors. .

That is the pursuit of a happy life, and the right to exist in this world freely and independently in the way you want without any restrictions.

Therefore, here, the old and new immigrants, who have no restrictions on their beliefs, are equal and have no distinction between high and low, consciously rule themselves in the form of an 'autonomous parliament' - they are not accustomed to being oppressed, but actually actively contribute and sacrifice. Establish a government of mutual respect and freedom.

She bows her knees to the emperor and is loyal to the emperor. She protects everyone who has sacrificed their power for it. She strives to maintain the balance between the old and the new world, allowing the civilization and freedom that have been gifted with imperial power since ancient times to be free from restrained barbarism. , where they are connected to each other.

Unexpectedly, the civilized imperial power is as cruel and predatory as ever; it has no interest in 'autonomy', is only greedy for 'prosperity', and regards 'freedom' as a scourge...

The article is full of ‘justice’ and ‘legal principles’, but between the lines, there is only ‘tyranny’ and ‘dictatorship’!

It shamelessly exploits the people who have suffered heavy losses in the war, taking away the last gold coin and the last piece of fuel from the poor immigrants, just to make the kerosene lamps in the palace burn brighter;

It enacted many pieces of legislation that were unfair to the colonies, making those who worked hard and took risks in business not only unable to benefit, but even poorer;

It suppressed all opposition voices, and even prohibited the colonies from organizing militias and having independent armed forces for nearly a hundred years—just because that would make them pay a greater price for suppression;

It massacred the representatives sent by the colonies because those people spoke uprightly and refused to kowtow to the noble knights of the empire, sacrificing the interests of the colonies to flatter the empire;

It carried out a brutal massacre at Castle Gray Pigeon, and thousands of brave liberal fighters died under the guns of tyranny;

It declares us to be traitors, to be eradicated, to be disloyal to the emperor, to betray the faith;

We were humble, humble, and used all euphemistic means to hope to reach an agreement acceptable to both parties; but all these reasonable proposals were ruthlessly rejected and received the most brutal reprimand...]

"Since the empire is so arrogant, we no longer need to rely on words to influence its head that never lowers its head. Steel and gunpowder are the only sounds it can hear!"

In the Red Hand Bay City Council, the newly appointed Speaker Pete Chatham, surrounded by a group of militiamen, waved the long scroll in his hand and spat wildly at the audience:

"The sound of volleys of gunfire is our words; the bayonet will become the exclamation line of writing, the sound of cannons will be our sentences, and the sound of stepping iron boots and the galloping hooves of the cavalry will become our ups and downs of voice! "

"Red Hand Bay, Long Lake Town, Black Reef Port, Winter Torch City...the voices of the new world unite and let our undetectable mute shouts turn into bursts of thunder that can shock the imperial army!"

"Let the bayonets be stained with blood, let the muzzles of the guns be filled with smoke, let the cannons be burned hot, let the military uniforms be stained with wind and frost, and let the military boots be stained with the soil of Sail City."

………………

"Let the flag of revenge fly on the tower of Gray Pigeon Castle!"

Paulina Frey, with tears in her eyes, stood on the podium, waving her pink fists at the Beluga MPs and representatives of the Promise Keepers League, shouting at the top of her lungs like a weeping oriole, which made everyone cry.

"Everyone here, I am not going to hide anything from you - my father, the respected Speaker Frey, is a true loyalist. He has been serving the empire conscientiously throughout his life. In the position of Speaker He dedicated nearly half his life.”

"But such a good man who was loyal to the empire and the emperor was accused by despicable villains of being a traitor to the empire, and without any fair trial, he died at the gunpoint of the person he had sworn to be loyal to forever. "

"I feel sorry for my father and sad for my lost family; but at the same time, I am also grateful to them! Thanks to them for using their sacrifices to let me see the true face of the empire and see clearly what wealth is in front of me. How ruthless are these insatiable dictators!"

"I declare that from this moment on, I...Paulina Frey, will become a liberal and a fighter for the independence of Gray Pigeon Castle! I will dedicate everything in my life to this cause, Just as my father swore to dedicate his voice to the Empire."

"But unlike him, my vision will never betray me, my battle will eventually be won, and the focus of my life will never die without resistance, like an execution shot - but if it must be executed, I would rather die on the battlefield fighting for liberals!”

"I also know that I alone will never be able to overthrow the empire's rule in the new world; so I call to you, to the brave Clovis - join my team and fight with us!"

………………

"Why? Because as long as Clovis joins this war, there is absolutely no way we will fail!"

Slapping the table hard, Speaker Hollande tried his best to encourage the frightened Changhu Town councilors: "Think about the original battle. Didn't Changhu Town have enough troops and defensive facilities? But in the end, there were still It’s not a defeat!”

"Today, the Empire only has five or six thousand troops in Sailing City, and including the militia, it is definitely less than 10,000 people. If the Clovis army and fleet are willing to join us, the total strength of the resistance will be two or three times that of the Empire. !”

"Okay, okay... I know some people will say that the empire still has far-reaching armies in the mainland, as well as countless large fleets; but those armies are now tightly entangled by Clovis, and the emperor will never For the sake of the colonies, the troops originally used to defend the homeland were sent to the New World.”

"As for the Grand Fleet, although it is indeed a threat, as long as there is no army, no matter how many gunboats they have, they can't threaten Changhu Town. What's more, we still have complete defense facilities. As long as we are not attacked by surprise like last time, we can block several Thousands of people still won’t be a problem.”

"But Clovis... With all due respect, the distance between Long Lake Town and White Whale Port is too close; to give an inappropriate example, please don't forget the fate of Gray Pigeon Castle."

"The Clovis people, it's not like they can't kill us all like the massacre organized by the Empire in Pigeon Castle, but they chose to exercise restraint. This in itself is a hint and a threat." Speaker Hollande's expression Cold:

“Their kindness is justified by cruelty when necessary.”

……………………

"...Because of this, we must not believe in the false kindness of the empire, and believe that they will spare any of us - Gray Pigeon Castle is the best evidence!" Peter Chatham raised his arms and shouted:

"Some people will say that the empire's army is unmatched, and our resistance is equivalent to mantis trying to beat a chariot; some people will say that apart from making the colonies pay more, what we do cannot gain more at all, because the colonies After all, we cannot survive alone, we will always be part of the empire.”

"My answer to these people is one word - get out!"

"Go and bow down to an empire that will never respect you or understand you. Go and sacrifice to the supreme imperial power in your heart. We will not interfere with your right to kneel, but we will not interfere with our freedom to stand..." Point there and say three to four!”

"Just because we are different from you, we have the power of freedom flowing in our veins. We long for the most basic decency and understanding. We long for truly equal friendship. We long for transparent and fair laws and governments..."

………………

"We are the upright people of the new world!"

Polina pursed her lips tightly, and her face filled with tears made her not as cute as she originally was, but she was a little more heroic:

"Long Lake Town, Red Hand Bay, Winter Torch City, Sail City, Black Reef Port...and Gray Pigeon Castle, White Whale Port, Gray Snow Town... We are the pioneers of the new world and the spreaders of the teachings of the Ring of Order. , is the wings that the world of order spreads out to the world, and is the source that brings clean water to the old continent."

"We should unite and use facts to prove to the people of the old world that the new world is not a vassal of the old world, nor is it a projection of the world of order on another continent; it has its own pride, its own path, and its own future. !”

"In the past, it was a piece of loose sand, an ideal homeland for a group of weak people to escape from the old world, and a habitat for exiles; now, it is ready to show its unique glory to the world, which is different from the old world."

"Therefore, here, in front of you, under the witness of the Ring of Order..."

"us!"

Peter Chatham shook his fists so hard that his collar was soaked with saliva.

"us!"

Hollande stood up suddenly and glanced at everyone with murderous eyes.

"us!"

Polina held her head high and shed tears on the scroll in her hand - the proud work of Clerk Alan Dawn and Anson Bach:

"We officially declare to you that with the supreme authority granted to me by the City Council of Gray Pigeon Castle/Long Lake Town/Red Hand Bay, and in the name of countless free people of the New World, I sign this "Declaration of Resistance" to formally... declare war on the Empire. !”

"I hereby swear that I will do my best to fight against the Empire by all means. I will resist the Empire's aggression at any time and in any place. I will fight side by side with any warrior who is willing to resist the Empire. I will never Forsake any land that burns with the fire of freedom... until not a single golden iris will bloom in the land of the New World.”

"I hereby announce to you that the New World Colonial Free Confederacy and the Imperial Resistance United Front..."

"Officially established!"
