I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 3 Chapter 98: request, order

"...accompanying various reasons, the research on the Three Old Gods has fallen into a bottleneck in modern times; real high-level spellcasters tend to avoid talking about the secrets they know, while young and inexperienced newcomers often yearn for a a simple, self-evident 'system' and enshrined it as truth..."

"...the fact is that all the 'systems' and 'theories' born after the forty-seventh year of the saint's calendar can be considered far-fetched; the three roads are not 'parallel' from the very beginning, but more similar at a crossroads that stretches forward, and even this metaphor is highly inappropriate..."

"...the most criticized are the followers of the Lord of Blood Magic, who are often seen as 'low-bodied' and 'transformed' among the Old God's followers, dubbed 'flesh monsters' or 'vampires' The contemptuous name of the class completely ignores the huge potential of blood magic with its extremely strong universality..."

"...The main reason for the criticism is that blood magic does not apply at all to the 'five stages theory' that can barely explain conjuration magic and black magic; this kind of indulging in stereotypes and theories, ignoring reality, and even blaming the problem on actual ills, probably This is the biggest problem for the believers of the old gods in our era..."

- "The Seventy-two Years of the Saint Calendar, Research on the Three Old Gods".

Thanks to a mentor who worked for the blood magic family "loyal and loyal", Anson still knew about blood magicians; instead of being like most spellcasters, he basically knew nothing except the categories he studied.

Different from black mages and conjurers, who will not have "qualitative" changes in their life forms until the stage of blasphemy, blood mages will become a "new existence" from the moment they are "born".

They will have vitality beyond ordinary people, bones that are as tough as steel and can control themselves, fast-growing flesh and blood, extremely strong resistance to diseases, and... at least one special ability.

More powerful vitality, more controllable and hard bones, strengthened or mutated certain organs... These "powers" will become part of their bodies and the cornerstone of their next "evolution".

Described by the "five-stage theory" criticized by the "Three Old Gods Study" known as the "Spellcaster Textbook", the "advanced process" of a blood magic caster is a process of flesh and blood strengthening and frequent mutation.

From the point of view of a conjurer, the blood mage is probably the type that continuously strengthens and mutates the body, and finally changes the amount and causes a qualitative change.

but……

"You use the power of blood magic to keep you young. You are also the most bizarre type of blood mages I have ever seen." Anson looked at the young man on the floor of the cell, and said slightly sarcastically.

Although the types are different, spellcasters can "know" each other's existence by "sensing" to each other. Spellcasters who are skilled in this way - especially the black mages - can even judge the accuracy of each other based on this. The location, whether you have found yourself, and the strength of your strength, some of the "talented" who are similar to the power of blood are attracted to each other.

But just like the talent can hide by closing the power of blood, the caster also has a "secret" method - otherwise, they would have been killed by the church's judgment long ago.

However, no matter how "secret" it is, it is impossible to hide it 100%; for example, in the "Great Magic Book" collected by Clovis Cathedral, there are no less than twenty kinds of "secret" and detection methods.

And the copy of this "Great Magic Book" is in Anson's hands, so he can judge that the "former Archduke Mist" in front of him is very weak, and his strengths are limited compared to ordinary imperial knight officers.

Therefore, his vitality that is so powerful that he can "permanent youth" can only come from the ability he acquired when he was "born" for the first time.

"This is the most different thing between you and us guys who like to show off their power."

Shrugging calmly, the "young" former Archduke Mist laughed at himself:

"Longevity, and eternal youth... It's very attractive to people like us - as long as I'm as energetic at sixty as I was at thirty, I'm willing to pay any price."

"Including the risk of killing the whole family by trial?" An Sen asked rhetorically with a snort.

"You are really a Clovis, and you don't know anything about Han soil." The former Archduke Mist shook his head:

"The divided Hantu was the most stable foundation of the church during the 'Sectarian War'. The old gods here were killed before the first year of the saint's calendar; without the old gods, you How much power do you think Church Judgment can put into this?"

Dark under the lights... This word popped into Anson's mind.

Indeed, as the other party said, compared to the shattered and easily manipulated vast land, the northern empire and Clovis, the "powerful countries", are the "key observation objects" of the church-because any one is even slightly affected by the old gods. The influence of sects will cause unimaginable blows to the church.

"The Thirteenth Council took the initiative to come to the door, promising that as long as I 'do something that is in the interest of the Iser Elf', they will give me a chance to 'eternal life'." The former Grand Duke continued:

"It was the fifty-fifth year of the saint's calendar. The Seven Cities Alliance was established, but the threat of the Empire and Clovis was increasing day by day. Hantu urgently needed a powerful force that would not really threaten us to provide protection... So I agreed."

"But they didn't tell me that this 'eternal life' would completely...change me, and they would always have a handle on me; once they made a choice that didn't suit their heart, they would secretly take this Report it secretly to the church, then..."

He spread his hands forward and looked at Anson calmly: "As you said, I will be killed by the religious trial - the Visenia family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, will be uprooted."

"I tried to resist and failed, so I simply chose to let it go; I no longer tried to unify the vast land externally, and internally I tried my best to meet all the requirements of the Thirteenth Council and help them smuggle weapons from the empire."

"They have a great appetite, and there are many guys in the Seven Cities Alliance who cooperate with them; Carindia, Mist, Thun... As far as I know, the only antipathy and thirteen councils in the vast land countries also have It seems that the only one who cooperates with the empire is the hard bone of Aiden's Emmanuel family."

Anson raised his eyebrows, but didn't interrupt him.

"Of course, after working together for a long time, a lot of the Thirteen Council's flaws have also been exposed... For example, they are not as strong as they seem, for example, Iser's elf king has been sparing no effort to suppress them, such as this one who once flourished , the old **** organization that ruled the entire Iser has long since become weak due to corruption and depravity..."

"Until, this inexplicable battle between Clovis and Iser."

"The purpose of the Thirteenth Council was to use the hands of the Clovis to eradicate the Elf King Iser and the forces that support the church in the country; as far as I know, their plan has been successful so far."

"But that's not enough, because their fundamental purpose is to regain power and—well, in their words, to make Iser great again; Victorious unification of the vast land, the establishment of the 'Isel-Man soil United Kingdom'."

"And, it's you."

"I?"

Anson was a little surprised.

"They think you are a serious threat to make the Iser elf great again, even more than Ludwig Franz... Although I don't know why." The former Archduke's expression was not much less surprised than his:

"But it's true... The Thirteenth Council, or some of their people are always trying to kill you and your army."

"For this goal, they did not hesitate to sell more Yisel elves' interests in the vast land to the empire, and instigated more the nobility of the vast land and the Clovis people to become enemies-although the latter goal was probably unsuccessful, you acted too quickly. , many of the vast land nobles have not had time to act, most of the vast land has already planted Clovis's king flag, and the rest have become your allies."

"But they won't give up so easily. The Iser Elf and the Thirteenth Council will not give up so easily."

"This battle is their only chance to rise... The empire has been unable to conquer the Clovis frontier for a long time, and has even been dragged into a war of attrition; if Iser can defeat Clovis in a frontal battle and prove his worth, he can get The Empire spares no effort to support it.”

"Because only with the support of the empire and taking the initiative to block the pressure from the church, the Thirteenth Council can avoid the situation where the entire world of order is attacked by suppressing the forces that support the church in China."

"You and your subordinates, the Southern Legion, Hantu... are the sacrifices that they need to offer to rise." The self-deprecating former justice said:

"And I'm not interested in being someone else's sacrifice."

"So you deliberately ignored us and even indulged your vassals and sons to betray you?"

"That's not true... but if you are willing to take it as yes, it will indeed make me feel better." The former Grand Duke shrugged again:

"I told you so many things, can you also promise me a promise or two from this defeated general, Lord Anson Bach?"

Looking at his calm eyes, An Sen frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Okay, I can promise you."

When the voice fell, he stretched his right hand to his waist, pulled out the "dagger" revolver, and aimed the dark muzzle at the eyebrows of the former Archduke Mist.

The former Grand Duke slowly closed his only eyes, and a shallow smile hung on the corner of his mouth:

"Remember to cremate my corpse, and don't leave any clues to the Iser elf; please take good care of that child of Ruko, and don't let the Visenia family die in his hands."

"……Okay."

An Sen, who was silent for a few seconds, pulled the trigger extremely solemnly.

………………

"boom!"

The iron door was closed heavily, and Anson stood alone outside the dungeon door with an expressionless face.

It was already late at night, and the entire Iron Bell Castle was pitch black. Under the bright moonlight, only the castle hall in the distance was still indulgent and full of laughter.

The nobles of the coalition forces, the officers of the Storm Division, and even some of the previous captives... all of them were enjoying the banquet to the fullest, celebrating the end of the vast land war.

An expressionless Anson looked at the brightly lit castle in the distance, and took out a letter from his arms; he snapped his fingers with a "crack!", and the faint fire on the tip of his index finger made the letter appear slightly scribbled. The handwriting is faintly visible:

"Deputy Commander of the Southern Corps, from Anson Bach himself:

At the time of writing this letter, I was leading the main force of the Southern Corps to retreat steadily and gradually gather the remnants; the current regiment system is still complete, so there is no need to worry too much.

The siege of Antlers Fortress was not smooth, the rough terrain was very unfavorable for our army to deploy across the board, and the enemy army was fully prepared; although the firepower was slightly inferior, a large number of fortifications made it difficult for our army to achieve victory even with artillery cover. .

On the twentieth day of the siege, the Iser elf nobles who had already reached a tacit understanding with our army suddenly launched an attack from the rear of the siege position; there were not many heavy artillery, but the number of troops was as high as 20,000.

After paying a small price to defeat it, the legion scouts immediately found that the Iser elves showed signs of increasing their troops to the Antler Fortress; after confirmation, it should be the elite of the Iser Elf Frontier Army, with a strength of around 6,000.

Faced with this situation, considering that the strategic goal of conquering the Elven Court of Isel in the short term cannot be achieved~www.readwn.com~ In order to ensure that the logistics line is not cut off, the legion is steadily moving towards the rear.

During the period, our army's marching troops, rationing teams, military depots, and camps...were attacked and besieged many times by a small group of Iser elf troops; at the same time, in order to speed up the advance, we had to abandon a lot of heavy equipment and trophies, and our morale was relatively low. signs of decline.

At present, the legion is marching to the Guillotine Fortress, which is located in the west of Iser Elf and close to the border. It is a transportation hub, and has a high ground artillery base. It is a very good frontline base.

Based on this fortress, my plan is to launch a large-scale invasion of the entire Isir elven kingdom; the plan requires at least 30,000 troops, and twice as many reserves.

Therefore, as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Legion, I order you to end the war against Hantu as soon as possible, try to stabilize the situation, and recruit no less than 20,000 troops, and within the time limit of forty days, go north and enter the Elven Kingdom of Iser to fight.

I know this is a breach of a private promise between you and me, but the mission of the Southern Legion is to win the war of punishment against the Ysir; I can assure you that nothing will ever be taken from you - but it is not a request , is the command!

At present, our army has a complete structure and sufficient supplies, which is enough to defend the fortress against any attack by the Iser elves; but the longer the delay, the more prepared they will be, and the more opportunities the empire will have to mediate and intervene in this battle. war.

So in any case, you and your army must appear in the cliff fortress before August 20th, and join the vast land countries in this war as our allies.

To repeat one last time, this is not a request!

This is an order! "
