I Will Be The Crowned King

"I will be crowned king (!

Just as Lieutenant Colonel Alexei embarked on this road of no return in despair, the destination of the entire storm division's trip had already fallen into **** amid the cannon fire and the sound of fighting.

"Soldiers—forward!"

Heart-wrenching cries echoed through the rumble of cannons, and hysterical officers waved their tattered iris flags and drove their subordinates to attack.

The terrified soldiers crowded into a phalanx of companies, carrying firearms of different lengths and even wooden sticks tied with bayonets, stepping on the cheerful drum beats and the roaring cannons behind them, moving to the distance. The low walls on the hills advanced.

After several consecutive days of siege, the imperial army, which has been frustrated many times, finally found the weakest position of the defense line of Black Reef Harbor City-especially after getting the help of the bounty hunters and mercenary groups ambushing in the city, they began to target fire attack.

As for those bounty hunters who tipped off the Empire and even tried to open city gates at night. They weren't so lucky: the hospitable Black Reef porters carefully prepared them for the same treatment as the Loyalists, adding a few more decorations to the city's high-rise buildings.

But no matter how much he vented his anger, he couldn't stop the golden irises from outside the city from approaching, bit by bit destroying the city defense of the originally solid Black Reef Harbor.

"Boom-boom-boom-!!!"

On the artillery positions under the hillside, the artillery flames flickered one after another, and bursts of gunpowder smoke filled the trembling ground; pieces of artillery shells roared over the heads of the terrified soldiers, and a small part fell on the sides of the hills. But more smashed on the low wall and the bunker, blasting smoke pillars.

Relying on the excellent technology of the imperial artillery and the continuous focused fire, the infantry can even step on the bombing point to launch an attack without any scruples. There is no need to worry about being "named one by one" by the condescending platoon of guns like the previous few days. Don't know how to die.

Even if the unfortunate one is occasionally knocked down by a stray bullet or a cold shot from nowhere, the rest will be forced by the officer supervising the battle, the "companion" muzzle and bayonet behind him, bite the bullet and step over the corpse and move on. .

And when they finally climbed up the hills after untold hardships and came to a place where there were only a dozen meters away from the low wall and the bunkers, the sound of the cannons suddenly stopped behind them.

Almost at the same time, gunfire rang out from the fortifications that had just been ravaged by artillery fire; the soldiers in the front row wailed and fell into a pool of blood; hundreds of Heijiaogang militiamen rushed out of the smoke-shrouded ruins and stood up. Raise the bayonet and pounce on the unprepared enemy.

"Rush up - for the glory of His Majesty Herrid, rush up!"

Following the officer's roar and the corpses of several deserters who had been shot and killed by him, the soldiers who turned around and wanted to run for the first time turned around. to each other.

The collision between the bayonet and the flesh and blood, the gunfire spewing among the gravel and rubble, the thunder blasting deep in the throat... All kinds of sounds were mixed together, and the cruel and extreme hand-to-hand battle was continuously performed on the entire defense line. Plaster mixed with gravel was sprayed on the low wall, which was already dark red.

After several rounds of repeated competition, the imperial soldiers were finally driven out of the defense line under the siege of the Black Reef Harbor reinforcements that arrived in time... and not only them, all the imperial troops on the entire front were defeated, the whole process The duration is not even a quarter of an hour.

In a makeshift command post at the bottom of the hillside, Bernard Morwes, holding a monocular, stared blankly at the "Imperial Army" who had been driven down the hillside like a Reservoir Dog, without the slightest touch in his expression. .

But this is not because he has really cultivated to the state where he doesn't take pleasure in things, doesn't take self-pity, or was deprived of his cleanliness forever by a certain black mage - it just doesn't matter if he is pure.

Since three days ago, all the attacking troops have been replaced by those vassals who came to the Empire - exiled loyalists, bandits, mercenaries, bounty hunters...

Although these people basically have no experience in large-scale wars, and their morale is basically zero, Bernard did not expect them to have much combat power.

Not only that, the vassals he consumed were all the "property" under the names of the officers, and the part he controlled was sent back to Sail City by Bernard in the name of "increasing the logistical labor force" and dumped cheaply... Eighty percent of them are sweating profusely in the plantation or mine of a certain property owner.

Of course, since his boss has done such a great job, he can't expect his subordinates to execute orders unconditionally: Bernard's order was for four infantry regiments to attack at the same time, and to attack two bunkers on the defensive line of the Black Reef Harbor defense line. In the end, only four battalions attacked under artillery fire, and less than four companies even broke into the defense line...

Considering that the soldiers of the vassal army are equipped with their own weapons, except for the military flags and even the uniforms, the firepower of these four companies may not be as good as that of the same number of Heijiaogang militiamen.

What makes Bernard regret is that although these people's combat effectiveness is extremely touching, their escape level is the top in the industry.

They had clearly assigned combat missions that were almost fatal for many times, but they were always able to seize the opportunity to retreat before the entire army was annihilated, and they resolutely fled, keeping the death ratio at 1/20. .

In other words, as long as eight people in a line infantry company of a vassal army fall, the entire line will collapse on the spot and disappear from the battlefield at the speed of light.

Such an amazing turn-in speed once again made Bernard's determination to use them as cannon fodder to completely consume them - otherwise, in the decisive battle with the Clovis people, they will be used to defend the flank. Bernard seriously doubts attacking himself at that time. The flanks may not only be Clovis people.

As for the gang of traitors at Black Reef Harbor in the city... Since the war, these people have not even been in his consideration.

Although the loyalists were thoroughly purged before the war, and when the army was overwhelmed, it was decisively clearing the walls, so that the Black Reef Port had sufficient supplies and troops.

However, as an "ordinary colony" that is not very wealthy and cannot achieve success, Heijiao Port has neither experienced troops or officers, nor a complete manufacturing industry, and lacks sufficient weapons reserves... It does not have the ability to fight at all. The capabilities of a modern war.

During the battle just a few days earlier, he had also obtained a homemade firearm that resembled a Leighton rifle, said to belong to a certain Black Reef Harbor militia.

As an imperial giant, Bernard is of course not unfamiliar with this "classic style" of Clovis weapons; the biggest feature of this weapon is that it is cheap and extremely simple to manufacture... Of course, the failure rate is also famous.

However, even the impressive failure rate cannot hide its advantages of low cost and ease of manufacture... Therefore, not only the Clovis army is equipped with this weapon in large quantities, but even the empire is also importing it and imitating it in batches to arm the army.

After all, cavalry and artillery are the key to the invincibility of the imperial army. As long as the infantry can maintain a good front and not easily collapse, it is enough. Combat strength does not matter at all.

As for the Leiden rifle in Black Reef Harbor, Bernard speculated that it should be imported from Beluga Harbor, or even the arms assisted by the Clovis. After all, Black Reef Harbor does not have the ability to make firearms.

This further proves that the original arms reserves of Black Reef Harbor have been exhausted, and the aid provided by the Clovis must be activated to barely maintain.

What really worried him was still the Clovis officer who had clearly captured him in Han soil.

"It's been so long, why is there still no news from Winter Torch City?"

The restless Bernard said to himself, and on the desk behind him were piles of "important information": "Beluga Port Good People", "Changhu Town Honest News", "Winter Torch City" The Trailblazers...

Even after so much time has passed, the newspapers of these enemies are still the most important source of intelligence for the Minister of the Imperial Colony; as for the officers in the Sail City Council and the army - unless they need someone to take the blame, they can't wait for the Minister to be Know nothing.

"Uh... It's mainly the bounty hunters and mercenary groups sent in the past, but none of them have come back so far."

The messenger who just came back from Yangfan City has just handled some "logistics" for the Minister-in-Charge, and replied cautiously: "Winter Torch City is an inland colony, and its location is very remote, so it should be normal for the news to be blocked. ?"

"Blocked? No matter how blocked it is, there should be an echo now!" The chief minister looked irritable:

"Today is the 17th, no matter how much procrastination, the meeting of the Free Confederation should have ended long ago; but let alone Moby-Dick Harbor, even how the meeting was going, nothing was reported after it was confirmed, as if the world had evaporated. !"

Bernard is very nervous right now. Based on his experience in Han soil, Anson Bach should start to assemble the troops of the Free Confederacy with great fanfare, while clamoring for the rescue of Black Reef Harbor, setting up a defense line near Red Hand Bay, and waiting for the Empire Taking the initiative to bump into it, he took the opportunity to dispatch the main force to cut off his own supplies and fight a defensive counterattack.

Passionate about bluffing, extremely confident and at the same time extremely cautious... This is all Bernard knows about Anson.

But this time, his quietness was simply eerie.

Not only is there no news, but there is not even a single bit of news about the mercenary group he sent; of course, Bernard did not expect to rely on these people to kill the entire high-level of the Free Confederation and the entire Clovis Legion; but more than 2,000 people. It's too weird to smash into it without even a little splash.

You must know that this is a new world, with more than 2,000 people... it is more than enough to directly conquer a medium-sized colony elsewhere.

The irritable Bernard turned around in a dream, so frightened that the messenger shivered and took a half step back, his face full of horror.

Seeing the other party's appearance, the minister in charge, who wanted to ask something, sighed and waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, you just came back from the rear, so it won't be difficult for you - by the way, the recent past in Yangfan City Did something happen?"

"Uh... yes!"

The messenger nodded quickly: "A lot of things have happened in Yangfan City recently - almost after you left with the army, the entire colony is going to be in chaos!"

Oh?

Bernard was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his surprised mouth began to rise unconsciously: "Really, is it really that bad?"

After all, for those parliamentarians who are keen to cause trouble for themselves and always want to be independent, the minister in charge can't wait for the other party to die suddenly; even if he knows very well that the last thing still has to be cleaned up by himself, it can give the other party a headache. Also very happy.

"It's really that bad!" The messenger was not as gloating as he was, and his expression was extremely solemn:

"Almost on the third day after your army left, a beast slave riot broke out in a mine outside the city. More than 200 beast slaves occupied the mine and kidnapped a daughter of the mine owner. They threatened to reduce their daily wages to Twelve hours, and provide each person with one kilogram of potatoes and two kilograms of water, or blow up the entire mine!"

"Oh, this is really a bunch of vicious villains!" Bernard, who grinned to the corners of his ears, said angrily:

"What's the result?"

"The mine owner hired a dozen bounty hunters, killed the leading beast slave mercenary, and resolved a danger by luck." The messenger sighed:

"But it is very regrettable that the mine owner's daughter could not be rescued."

"Why, those bounty hunters missed?"

"That's not true, their operation was very successful, but the mine owner's daughter was killed before she went in - according to the beast slaves' confession, this eldest lady didn't realize she was kidnapped at all, as usual Punching and kicking the beast slaves like that, and as a result, the beast slave in the lead was negligent, and she was given to… that by the others.”

"..."

"Similar incidents broke out one after another after you left. At least hundreds of beast slaves fled from the plantations and mines, which damaged the security of many settlements outside Yangfan City." The herald continued:

"Not only the periphery, but even the city of Yangfan began to have various riots; merchants were assassinated in the streets, workers in the workshop disappeared mysteriously, the legend of the Shadow Demon and the Lord of the Abyss spread all over the city... Some people even swore to claim I saw a female Isher elf disguised as a nun at a small church outside the city..."

What, female elf?

Bernard, who was keenly aware of something, was shocked all over~www.readwn.com~ Just as he was about to raise his hand to stop the herald from continuing, a loud noise suddenly came from the Black Reef Harbor defense line behind him.

"boom--!!!!"

The two people who were unprepared were shaken and staggered, and then fell to the ground decisively.

After waiting for a while to confirm that there was no movement, he cautiously got up and turned to the direction of the sound.

I saw that under the lead-grey sky, the bunker on the defense line of Black Reef Harbor was blown into ruins; a golden iris flag was rising in the ruins and thick smoke!

"Ah this... attacked?!"
