I Will Be The Crowned King

As night fell, a light rain fell on the block outside St. Isaac's College. The icy cold rain and soft mist enveloped the brightly lit academy, becoming the only island in this darkness.

One after another gorgeous carriages hung with glass kerosene lamps shuttled through the long and narrow streets, and stopped at the street outside the gate at random; After the service, he left the carriage and walked to the statue of St. Isaac in front of the gate to pay tribute to the genius scholar who was a hundred years ago.

"Why would they salute a statue of a stranger?"

Carrying the Borne rifle in the piano case, Lisa pointed to the endless crowd under the statue in confusion.

"Because he is a saint of the Church of Order." Looking at the sculpture in the rain curtain, Anson sighed with emotion:

"Probably still one of the most special saints..."

Invented the steam engine, designed the difference engine, airship, steam train and even nearly a hundred kinds of steam machinery, found the largest open-pit coal mine in the Clovis Kingdom, and is said to have traveled to the New World to explore, and it was the first in history. A spellcaster who is also the three major magic - although this remains to be verified...

Anson has doubted more than once that this Isaac Rand is not a senior transmigrator, right?

But on the other hand, in the memory of "Former Anson", this "Saint Isaac" came from the truth-seeking sect, which was the branch of the church that was most keen on scientific research, and the academic teaching system was their invention; as early as Isaac's In fact, there have been similar power machinery designs before, and the steam core is not entirely his original creation.

"Then why did he become a saint?"

Just as Anson was thinking about it, Lisa continued to ask curiously.

"Because he created an era and invented a lot of things... uh..." Anson shook his head, recalling the memories of "former Anson" at St Isaac's College:

"But more importantly, in the 'great schism' caused by the church's sectarian disputes, Isaac Rand was able to unabashedly point out the church's mistakes, and the firm leader of the Qiuzhen Sect joined forces with the denominations to fight against that time. Church, and after the assassination became the banner of all, laying the groundwork for the First Order of the Order."

After speaking this long, Anson lowered his head and looked into the girl's eyes with the doubt that "she might not understand".

But he obviously thought too much. Lisa, who blinked her big eyes, immediately grasped the key point in this sentence:

"So you can become a saint as long as you defeat the church?"

"..." Anson Bach.

Looking at her bright eyes, An Sen, who was inexplicably terrified, suddenly regretted talking to her about this.

Passing through the gate, every half a meter on both sides of the stone road leading to the Academy Castle, there are guards with live ammunition standing guard; in the foggy night, you can still see the contract gate and the sentry on the roof.

At least three companies.

An Sen raised his eyebrows alertly... Although the guards in the capital city are well-staffed, most of them need to be stationed at various points in the inner city, maintain daily patrols, guard high-end communities and important buildings, and occasionally attack the lower city. riot……

Therefore, although it has about 6,000 troops, it is often only two or three platoons that can be deployed in the face of temporary situations.

They can mobilize half an infantry regiment for security work. Who is this banquet prepared for?

Slightly tensing his heartstrings, Anson, who held Lisa's little hand, walked towards the guard officer outside the gate.

"Lieutenant Colonel Anson Bach, with one family member."

The captain of the guards glanced slightly at the invitation card and the two figures in front of him, one big and one small, respectfully gave a military salute, and then pointed to the temporary awning outside the gate:

"Please wait there, we need to check the salute you and your family have with you."

"Do you have to check?"

An Sen frowned slightly: "I made an appointment to meet, maybe I'm late."

He wasn't worried that the magic item on his body would be recognized by the guard, but the piano case on Lisa's back still contained a Borne rifle!

You can't say you're here to hunt, can you?

"Sorry, but this is a military order." The captain with his hands behind his back said blankly:

"Archbishop Luther specifically emphasized to us that all guests tonight must..."

"No, Captain."

Sophia's voice interrupted the guard officer who was still trying to explain.

At this moment, she put on a classic long dress of imperial style, her long fluffy hair was pulled up high, and the sapphire brooch pinned to her chest was still dazzling at night.

The cute figure who followed her step by step was the little maid Angelica in a light-colored cake dress.

"Whether or not an assassin really appears tonight, it must have nothing to do with our Lord Stormtrooper."

The guard officer was stunned for a moment, and silently stepped aside with his hands behind his back, looking at An Sen with somewhat complicated eyes.

Well, it seems that the factory riot should have spread... Anson couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"You're late, Lieutenant Colonel Anson Bach."

After sending the captain who was standing guard, Sophia, who turned around, stared at Anson with some dissatisfaction: "I will give you an invitation this afternoon, why are you here now?"

"Sorry, it took a while to prepare the dress. I can't come here in my usual outfit, can I?"

Although An Sen just explained casually, the girl looked at it very seriously, and then nodded slightly:

"Sure enough, it's no wonder I almost didn't recognize you--usually, you still have a maverick style. Once you put on a formal suit, you will immediately disappear from the crowd."

"...Thank you for the compliment."

Anson, whose mouth moved slightly, smiled reluctantly.

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Sophia glanced at the little maid beside her; the clever Angelica immediately lifted her skirt and walked cheerfully to Lisa:

"Oh~~ Miss Lisa in such a cute little dress, do you still remember who I am?"

"Remember, remember!"

"You still remember Angelica?!" The little maid stared wide-eyed, and excitedly hugged Lisa, who was a little embarrassed, and rubbed her cheek gently:

"Miss Lisa still remembers Angelica, Angelica is so moved; that lovely Miss Lisa, why don't you come and eat cake with Angelica? There's a big house here with a lot of cakes in it. Woolen cloth!"

"Um!"

Seeing Anson nodding to herself, Lisa's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Then come with me!" The little maid walked towards the gate with Lisa, holding up her skirt.

"Oh~ Miss Lisa, did you still bring your musical instrument? Can you play it to Angelica while eating cake later, Angelica likes music the most..."

Looking at the backs of the two, Sophia's eyes, who were standing in the cold rain, became unexpectedly soft: "It's hard to imagine that a guy like you would have such a cute sister."

The smiling Anson stood beside her with his hands behind his back, without saying a word.

For the time being, I don't want to tell Sophia how Lisa described her...

"Come with me, my father is waiting for you."

"Okay."

Following the girl's footsteps, Anson walked into the gate of the Academy Castle.

Walking in the long and narrow corridor leading to the banquet hall, the brand-new red carpet has been stained with many footprints due to the light rain outside the door; guests in twos and threes shuttle in the corridor, some men and women, small conversations, or laughter or It was the sound of exclamations, constantly echoing on the ceiling and the dimmed gas lights.

"Do you know the Elf Kingdom of Iser?"

Sophia said as she walked.

"The elf who believes in the Ring of Order?" Anson nodded:

"I only read it in the textbook of the military academy, but I haven't seen the real thing."

That is to include the geographical location, the total number of troops and population, the classification of the population, and the orientation and defense strength of all important cities and fortresses. For this rich and unbeaten neighbor to the east, the Royal Military Academy generally regards it as a kingdom under the kingdom. direction of expansion.

"Tonight's banquet was apparently led by the church, and the United College announced the latest research results; because this research is related to Isaac Rand, it was specially placed at St. Isaac's College."

Sophia, who lowered her voice, whispered without looking back, watching every passing guest vigilantly:

"But in fact, the achievement display is just a cover up. The real guests are the ambassadors of the Elven Kingdom of Iser and the chairman of the Kingdom Railway Committee."

"In January of this year, a knightly embassy from the Imperial Household Imperial Family arrived at the Elf Royal Court of Iser. It was a friendly visit in name, but since the ninety-seventh year of the Saint Calendar, the Empire has been assisting the elves in purchasing rifles and artillery. So their real purpose is to help the Elf King Ysir build a modern army."

"The Yisel elves have always been vigilant against the attack of the Kingdom of Clovis, especially the railway, because Clovis can completely control and establish a stable rule in the south, relying on the railway extending from the capital to Oak Town."

Sophia paused for a moment, deliberately taking steps towards the banquet hall: "My father is going to mediate between the two sides tonight to reassure the ambassador of Iser that before the current war is over, the railway operation in the Kingdom of Clovis will only be limited. The status quo is maintained, there will be no increase."

"So that's it..." Anson muttered to himself.

"Why is that so?"

"Oh, nothing! I mean what happens if the mediation fails or if something goes wrong tonight?"

"How?" Sophia snorted coldly and rolled Anson's eyes:

"In that case, the Iser Elf will officially declare war on the Kingdom of Clovis, and the combined empire will attack Clovis on both sides; the army, which is already struggling on the frontal battlefield, will immediately face another hundred thousand Elf Legion!"

"One hundred thousand?!"

Anson laughed suddenly, and looked at Sophia with uncontrollable laughter: "The elves can use a hundred thousand troops to attack Clovis? Don't lie to me, I still read books seriously when I was in school!"

"I'm just making an analogy!" Sophia glared at him:

"And are numbers the point?!"

"I was wrong, sorry."

Looking at the resentful girl, An Sen immediately apologized to the other party before the eyes around him turned to him:

"But what does this have to do with me?"

It is related to the direction of the war, and it may even be related to the future fate of the Clovis Kingdom... But even if the Iser Elf attacks tomorrow, what can he do for Archbishop Luther?

"Of course I'm not here to mediate." Sophia snorted softly:

"This is what I strongly recommend to my father, and let you serve as an **** during the negotiation between the two sides - after all, those guards and the church are always hostile and completely untrustworthy!"

"Although my father thinks it is unlikely, who knows what dirty methods the empire will use in order to defeat the Kingdom of Clovis; even if there is only a one in ten million probability, the precautions that should be taken are still to be done."

That's not bad... Anson nodded slightly.

According to the intelligence collected from the secretary and the information published in the "Kingdom Loyalty News", although the empire thwarted the attack plan of the Clovis Kingdom in Red Moon Town, the entire frontal battlefield is still without an inch, and the whole war is still in In the stalemate garbage time, there is nothing to do with each other.

At a time like this, an empire that attacks and mobilizes more resources and manpower is definitely more hopeful than Clovis to open up the war. Even if there is only a little turning point, it must be seized immediately, otherwise the war of aggression without hope and trophies is destined to be unsustainable. .

According to the inference of the "Kingdom Loyalty News", the shameless emperor and the dog-like empire will last for at most two months, and it will collapse after two months; Anson expressed doubts, but half a year should be the limit.

"Thank you so much for trusting me, the 'Old God Suspect', Miss Sophia." Anson kept a polite smile:

"Then what can I do to repay your trust?"

"Very well, I really didn't see you wrong."

The girl squinted her eyes with contentment, and her frown and smile showed graceful grace: "According to my short legs, when such a major turning point in the order of the world will be involved, someone will definitely be there for some 'special' reason!"

"Draco Wilters?"

Anson thought without hesitation.

"Smart!"

Sophia stepped towards the banquet hall, and the surrounding crowd had begun to exclaim at her, as well as some obvious gossip:

"This guy must have been battered by my bounty lately~www.readwn.com~ so it's your job to guide him when he shows up; try to hide as much as possible from others."

"Remember, this is a secret mission."

"clear."

An Sen nodded calmly. When he saw the guards outside the door, he knew that there was absolutely no secret mission today.

Unless he took the initiative to seek death, he really could not have imagined the significance of that house running into the academy surrounded by guards.

Following Sophia step by step, Anson began to glance aimlessly in the transparently lit banquet hall, pretending to complete the task given to him by Miss Franz.

He didn't find the home, but found another familiar figure - a simple bachelor's robe with the unique golden badge of St. Isaac's College hanging on it, holding a cup of steaming coffee and chatting with the people around him.

Most importantly, this man has ice blue eyes.
