I Will Be The Crowned King

Compared with the worried Alexei, Anson, who "camouflaged successfully", was quite happy. After returning to Black Reef Harbor, he even picked up the treasured Tirpitz rum, bit off the stopper, and blew a small half bottle. .

Satisfied, he burped a few times, and then he took out the diary that had been "idle" for a long time, ready to write a few words from his heart.

Speaking of which, since the end of the Hantu War and the days when he arrived in the new world, it seems that he has never written a diary again. He entrusted the little secretary to slightly change his daily schedule record, and replaced the subject with his own mail. Clovis City and Han soil... so much that Anson felt a little rusty the moment he picked up the pen.

That's right, he still sends his daily diaries to Sophia Franz and Leon Francois in batches to this day—after Talia's verification, of course.

Relationships and friendships require patience and careful care, and the more you can’t meet in a short time, the more you should pay attention. You can’t be neglected because of a solid foundation. Many “blood is thicker than water” relationships are long-term non-contact. After gradually estranged, and finally meet like passers-by.

Although the Francois family, who is far away in the vast land, can't help themselves for the time being, and in the long run, it will be difficult for the two sides to have any intersection, but it is better than nothing. One more friend is always better than one enemy.

Of course, a friend like a novelist doesn't matter. If An Sen really wants him to be shot to death on the way to the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea - even if the price is to be attacked by both sides, he is willing:

"…On May 18, after a turmoil, I finally took control of the situation at Black Reef Harbor and negotiated with Bernard Morwes for a three-day break—a pair of battle will play a vital role.

Because although the Black Reef Port still has 50,000 people, 7,000 troops and monks with a complete defense line, there are few materials left, and the port was destroyed by the imperial bombardment. It is no exaggeration to describe it as exhausted.

The good news is that the imperial army besieging the position is also at the end of its streak, and it has only a slight advantage over Heijiao Port. The opponent has obviously decided that the Storm Division will abandon Heijiao Harbor and build a defense line in the Red Hand Bay area.

This poor information will become our biggest advantage in the next battle!

In order to continue to confuse the enemy, I will gradually dismantle the Black Reef Harbor militia in the next three days, reducing the defender from 7,000 to 3,000; not only to show the enemy's weakness, but also to reduce the loss of materials.

The use of the Black Reef Harbor for the army is too wasteful. More than 7,000 people are scattered like peppercorns evenly on the entire defense line, leaving only a reserve of less than 500 people-and this reserve is already in the shelling of the port. The entire army was wiped out - replaced by the Storm Division, the two regiments can achieve the same effect with less than 3,000 people.

However, considering that although their morale is high, their combat power is really indescribable, so it is more appropriate to keep 3,000 people just in case.

The 4,000 people who have been laid off are responsible for repairing fortifications and transporting goods as special engineers. The weapons are only equipped with spears, hand axes and homemade grenades. When necessary, they serve as free skirmishers and reserves.

As long as the ammunition stored in this way is used sparingly and combined with the captured loot, it is definitely more than enough to persist for two or three days.

On the Empire side, although Bernard Morwes verbally promised to open the breach in three days to ensure our safe evacuation, I have seen through his lies - the peace talks are fake, and the opportunity to destroy the resistance of the Free Confederacy is the real thing!

I will be vigilant about this, if the Empire insists on chivalry and keeps its promises, of course it is best, if it is just a despicable lie to deceive the pure and kind people of Black Reef Harbor and the Stormmaster, I guarantee that he will regret it for the rest of his life..."

Lightly clicked a few ellipses as the end of the unfinished, contented Anson checked it several times before writing.

Compared with the previous diary, this should be the first time that he has analyzed the situation on both sides of the battle in detail, and his next preparations.

In addition to product iterative upgrades, the consideration of self-pursuit of progress, but also to improve the user's experience - mainly expressing emotions, even with Leon's intelligence level, it can be seen that he is dealing with things.

As for Sophia... With the help of Angelica's little maid and the advice of Archbishop Luther, it shouldn't be difficult.

Of course, his innermost thoughts and true thoughts will not be recorded in his diary now—not only because of immorality, but also out of self-preservation, to avoid the truth of his bloodline power from being noticed by outsiders.

Ensuring that in the most extreme cases, he, who relied on the power of blood to resurrect himself, can grasp most of the information currently needed at the first time, is the only motivation for him to write a diary.

Putting away the diary, Anson took the bottle and drank the remaining rum, lying on the bed drunk, planning to sleep until noon the next day before starting the next plan - the more time is pressed, the more orderly it is .

An hour later, Anson, who repeatedly turned over on the bed, finally entered his dream.

…………

Three days later, outside the city of Black Reef Harbor.

clear.

Thousands of golden irises bloomed in the wind, as the loud and long bugle echoed through the morning mist.

There are ravines and ravines everywhere, full of debris, and the siege position of scorched earth and craters, in the blink of an eye, is a blue and white ocean.

After a sufficient rest, nearly ten thousand soldiers of the imperial army full of energy walked out of the position at the moment, stepping on the brisk drum rhythm, unfolding into a rare three-row line.

Even the cavalry troops, which had hardly appeared before, lined up in four loose horizontal lines at the front of the main offensive position on the west side and made their grand debut.

The breastplate with embossed patterns is still shining in the morning fog, the delicate saber and the embossed carbine are hung on the saddle of the high-headed horse, and the flag gun with the swallowtail flag is held high in the hand... From a distance, it looks like a rainbow falling to the ground.

Not to mention the siege of such a formation, even the defense may not be able to stop it; but if the defenders of Black Reef Harbor are looking down from the retaining wall at this moment, even a fool can find that they have been surrounded on all sides - a symbol of Herid The golden irises of the royal family have bloomed in every corner outside the Black Reef Harbor City.

This is the "farewell ceremony" that Bernard Morwes carefully prepared for the traitors of Black Reef Harbor and the advance army!

He will use the most straightforward way to show off his force to this group of **** who have resisted his siege for more than ten days.

On the main offensive position, the former imperial colony chief minister, surrounded by hundreds of knights, honor guards and representatives of the "loyalists", stood in front of the battle in high spirits, watching from a distance.

"It's finally started."

Holding up a gilt three-segment monocular and locking on Bernard's northern position, he said softly behind him without turning his head: "In half an hour, the advance army and the liberal traitors of Black Reef Harbor will meet. Evacuate from the north side—all ready?"

"You can do it anytime."

Faced with the inquiries from the Minister in Chief, the cuirassier battalion commander, Sir Sadow, seemed a little absent-minded, and said with a dazed expression: "The troops on the north side have already received the signal. After the Black Reef Port defenders have retreated halfway, they will immediately launch an assault along the trenches. Cut it in the middle."

"Your messenger has also been waiting at the artillery position. All the artillery pieces have been in place. The advance army and the Black Reef Port defenders who have passed the siege position will be bombarded immediately."

"Even if they can survive five minutes of uninterrupted artillery fire and still maintain considerable organization, the hussars will then crush them completely, leaving them no room to fight back."

"Very good." Bernard nodded with satisfaction:

"Tell the soldiers to make the gap as wide as possible, and don't leave too many defenders on either side - we can't let the Clovis blame the imperial knights, they are all untrustworthy scumbags."

"Yes."

"When the cavalry raided, the focus was on killing the traitors of the liberals. As for the group of Clovis people in the advance army, they had to capture as much as possible; in the next Battle of Red Hand Bay, they might be an important bargaining chip. ."

"Yes."

"If you catch Lieutenant Colonel Alexei, you tell him, tell him... uh..."

"Yes."

"…"

Bernard, who was interrupted, frowned slightly, turned his head and looked behind him: "Sir Sado, are you alright?"

"Yes."

The cuirassier battalion commander who replied subconsciously was startled, and then he noticed the expression of the minister in charge, like waking up from a dream: "I'm fine!"

"Really? Then I'm relieved."

Bernard forced a smile, his stiff expression almost wrote "I don't believe it" on his forehead: "Is there anything you need to report to me?"

"…no."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Sadow decided not to report the information that "a cuirassier is missing" to the minister in charge, destroying his good mood at the moment: "Everything is normal, the cuirassiers can act at any time."

"Very good." Bernard nodded slightly and put away the monocular in his hand:

"Then act as soon as possible, and please go to the northern front to supervise the battle, in case of any accident - if there is any accident, you can act first and then report it. If there is any situation or need, please send someone to contact us at any time."

"As ordered!"

The voice fell, and the expressionless Sir Sardo saluted the Minister in charge, and turned away without looking back.

Bernard Morwes, who stayed where he was, kept staring at the back of the cuirassier battalion commander from the corner of his eye until the other party disappeared in the morning fog.

He didn't mention the cuirassiers at all, so why bother?

Bernard was very confused, and his reason told him there was definitely a problem, but the problem was that there were too many problems in the army under his command - it would be impossible to figure out everything. When the Lowe people attacked, they had to fight a civil war first.

With a slight sigh, he turned his attention to the Black Reef Harbor not far away.

When the morning fog gradually dissipated with the rising sun, the troops in the Black Reef Harbor finally began to retreat.

On the undulating hills, several columns lined up in neat formations crossed the Black Reef Harbor defense line and began to move slowly towards the northern position of the Imperial Army.

Despite the distance, the orderly formation and red and black uniforms speak of their "Storm Division," or Clovis Army.

Bernard nodded slightly, which was the same as the two agreed at the beginning.

Facing the dazzling army of golden irises, the soldiers of the advance army did not show any fear or panic. They also held high the flag with a blue background and a golden ring, and marched steadily forward to the rhythmic drum beats and military music, constantly approaching the attack. City position.

There, the imperial army had reserved a gap, and emptied all the weapons and redundant fortification facilities on the position, leaving only a gaping open space.

Strangely, there were no Black Reef defenders behind the advance army—although they weren't on the line either.

After arriving at the position, the advance army did not leave immediately, but deployed a defensive formation to the east and west wings on the spot, and even sent a lot of skirmishers to expand to the two wings of the gap... Maintaining a high degree of vigilance against the imperial army.

Bernard could only sneer at this senseless guarding behavior; although he really wasn't going to abide by the agreement, the other party looked down on him too much.

An hour later, the advance troop that had been "stationed" on the northern position had not only firmly controlled the position, but had even begun digging new fortifications.

At the same time, there was still no movement in the direction of Heijiao Port, which did not look like anyone was about to evacuate.

Just when Bernard felt something was wrong, a messenger was suddenly sent from the direction of the advance army; first, on behalf of Lieutenant Colonel Alexei, to thank the Empire for being willing to keep its promise, and then to apologize for the current "accident":

"Because there are a large number of women, children and the elderly in the retreating liberals, it is difficult to persuade them to leave the city; and the positions are full of irregular trenches, which are very unfavorable for the operation of large trucks, so please extend an additional hour to allow the advance troops Time to level the ground."

Bernard agreed to the messenger's request, and immediately after the other party left, he entrusted a messenger to go to the northern position, and let Sir Thaddo send someone to monitor the movement of the advance army.

Half an hour later, the messenger returned breathlessly to report the situation: the advance troops were not lying, they were indeed leveling their positions and using readily available tools to build passable roads between the trenches.

But Bernard's face did not improve, because there was still no sign of evacuation in the direction of Black Reef Harbor.

Another hour later, the advance troops on the gap in the UU reading www.uukanshu.com position were still busy, and the smoke rolled up blocked the view of the surrounding imperial cavalry watching them, and even Bernard, who was in the far west position. Can also see clearly.

As for the direction of the Black Reef Port, there is still no movement.

Bernard's face became more and more ugly, and he suddenly had a guess that made his blood pressure rise, and it was more and more similar to the scene in front of him.

At exactly ten o'clock, that is, an hour before the final evacuation time - and after a delay - Sir Sado suddenly sent someone to report a very terrifying situation:

"The advance army didn't want to retreat at all. They rebuilt a new defensive position directly on the gap and divided the entire army in two - we were deceived!"

Facing the angry messenger, the stiff-faced Bernard didn't have the slightest expression on his face. He was staring at the position, and he didn't need anyone else to tell him the bad news.

Because on that smoke-filled position... Clovis's Unicorn King flag was raised! </div>
