I Will Be The Crowned King

The reason why he is so confident is not that Sado is always convinced of his plans like a certain commander-in-chief.

Without sufficient advance preparation and a lot of intelligence support, he could never be so sure - just like he did on the night of the Black Reef Harbor surprise attack and the subsequent "Advance Army Breakout War", he had planned a retreat before attacking, and seeing the situation Not good and decisive turn forward, refreshingly shocked the enemy and his own people.

The advance troop found out that the left-wing troop was missing after they had run away. Bernard and his main force were even worse. When the vanguard troop fell and was about to be caught between two sides, they finally realized that something was wrong, and the whole army almost collapsed. .

Of course, if his "strategic determination" had lasted a little longer, he would have found that the reinforcements that arrived were a force that was exhausted and had no combat effectiveness... The unfortunate one might be the Storm Division.

But just like if there is no such thing in this world, the cuirassier battalion commander Sir Thaddo has no liking for this hypothetical vocabulary, fame is nothing but a falsehood, merit is only a medal, but life is real.

Then again, just like all those who came to the new world have their own stories - if it hadn't cherished life too much and made many comrades pay a heavy price, this cuirassier leader, experienced enough to be a division commander, also Not to appear in such a ghost place.

Before departure, Sado had reached a cooperation agreement with the Sail City Liberals; of course, this was just an insurance. If the battle at Black Reef Harbor went well, information about the Liberals' attempted rebellion would "automatically" appear in Bernard. Germany's headquarters table.

In order to avoid accidents, his vanguard had already arrived outside the city of sailing a day in advance. After receiving the information that the rebellion had been successful, the liberals had controlled the army and occupied the governor's mansion, Sir Sardo dared to arrive at his loyal sailing city with such great fanfare .

The dignified imperial army, of course, can't participate in the shameful rebellion, but after the incident is over, in order to stabilize the situation, it is necessary to intervene in it - such as picking peaches - to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides, it is still in line with chivalry.

As for some innocuous details in the process, such as many loyalists being exterminated by their entire families, and baseless rumors such as traces of the activities of the old gods appearing at the scene of the rebellion, the imperial army will definitely not believe it!

Even at this point, Sado was still fully prepared to let the troops set off when it was almost dawn; compared to the various forces in Yangfan City who fought all night, the energetic army of more than 2,000 empires was almost decisive. strength.

It can be said that which side he is on at the moment can win without any suspense, and only this army can suppress the largest colony and city in the New World and prevent it from falling into the dark jungle state of cannibalism.

In Sadow's judgment, even if the loyalists turn over at the last moment, or some forces bought by the liberals suddenly turn against the tide, he and his 2,000 troops are enough to reverse the situation, according to their "rebel" interests. way to end the fight.

It is this confidence that he dares to enter Yangfan City at this time when everything is settled, ready to clean up the mess.

But when he really figured out what was going on, he realized that he guessed right, but only a little bit...

………………

"...Well, please allow me to sort out the cause and effect of the whole thing."

In the messy governor's mansion, Sir Sadow looked at the young knight and the elf girl in the nun's uniform in front of him, and there was a little tangle in his confused eyes.

One of the two people in front of them was covered in wounds, holding a long knife with a handle that was about to break, a revolver and a short-barreled shotgun on the left and right of the back waist, and a card-shaped cold weapon hidden in the trouser legs. It was a **** battle just now. The look after.

The other was unscathed. From the waterfall-like long hair to the nun's clothes, there was no sign of injury or damage. In this rainy weather, there were still rout soldiers and rebel troops everywhere. One nun was actually covered in mud from head to toe. Not a single spot could be found, and the clothes and hair were so neat that there was no sign of being soaked in the rain.

But all these anomalies are nothing compared to the rhetoric they just provided... Sado felt his head aching:

"Dear Your Excellency Louis Bernard, according to what you just said, the reason why you and this young lady appear here is a complete accident?"

"Exactly." Louis nodded slightly, and under his calm eyes was a desperately tense facial expression:

"We heard movement outside the church at the time, so we couldn't help but go out to take a look. We found that there were soldiers burning, killing and looting everywhere, and we heard gunshots."

"As a knight, my instinct tells me that there are forces who want to start a rebellion while the imperial army leaves, and take control and seize control of Sail City; there may even be Clovis forces involved, trying to cut off the The Colonial Governor's ties to his army and rear."

"Also as a knight, my innate beliefs and ideas make it impossible for me to watch the tragedy happen but sit back and let those traitors and robbers destroy the entire city! So I..."

"So you left the church and crossed most of Sail City to the Governor's Mansion. You want to inform the people left behind what you saw." Sado couldn't help interrupting:

"I remember correctly?"

"Exactly, your memory is absolutely correct."

"You came to the governor's mansion, met the old gods who participated in the rebellion, and had a conflict with them?"

"Exactly."

"They were defeated by you, or forced to flee for some reason?"

"Exactly."

"You drove away the old gods, and found that the governor's mansion has been completely captured by the traitors, and all the parliamentarians loyal to the empire died under the guns of the rebels?"

"This... the first half is yes, and I just found out about the latter."

"Before this, you entered the governor's mansion very smoothly and were not obstructed in any way - I mean the rebels of almost 2,000 people outside, which did not cause any ... inconvenience to your actions?" Sa Many voices are shaking.

"...I can only say that's not quite the case."

The corners of Louis' mouth began to twitch slightly.

With a sigh, the tired Sado turned his eyes to the elf girl aside: "As for this Miss Lucia, after discovering that His Excellency Louis Bernard was missing, she followed the direction he left and...it went smoothly... found it?!"

When it came to the last few words, his voice involuntarily raised his voice, and his calm expression became a little distorted because it was too incredible.

Looking at Ser Sardo, who was almost unable to bear it, and Freya, who was ignoring the other party's eyes all the time, Louis was even more embarrassed.

In order to avoid exposing it too quickly, he also gave Freya the exact same name as his sister... But looking at the other party's expression, it seems that his statement does not sound more believable.

"boom--!!!!"

While the two were talking, there were bursts of gunshots and shouts of killing outside the window... The imperial army, which had just entered the city and controlled the many important transportation hubs and commanding heights in the city, was approaching the eradication and suppression of the rebel army and rioters. end.

Despite the multi-day march and lack of supplies, in front of a group of rabble, these Imperial soldiers who had been defeated from Black Reef Harbor still showed superb military literacy - using the street terrain to completely block the surrounding area, the infantry was formed in units of companies A hollow phalanx controls all intersections.

When all the rebels and thugs were divided into small groups and flowed through the streets, cuirassiers and hussars armed with carbines and shotguns rushed into the streets, using guns and horseshoes to shoot all those who refused to surrender. The diehards turned into a puddle of minced meat on the ground.

The absolute number and level of crushing turned the repression into a complete massacre; the liberals in Sail City, who had already been cleaned by Bernard Morwes, once again felt the horror of the empire's iron hoofs.

With the scattered gunshots and the roar of iron hoofs, the blood plasma diluted by the rain spread in every corner, dyeing the city of sailing, which is about to usher in the rising sun, a layer of red.

Looking at Sail City, which was lit up by fire, Sir Sardo, who had almost collapsed in his heart, regained his senses a little.

The loyalists are finished, and the rebellious liberals have lost the legitimacy of ruling Yangfan City because of the young master Bernard in front of them. The old gods have also been caught with solid evidence. Even if they are all shot now, it will not be. Will anyone say anything.

"It doesn't look like it will take long before this riot can be calmed down." Louis sighed softly and looked at the opposite side with grateful eyes:

"As expected of an excellent imperial team... If you didn't come, what should I do by myself."

"You've done a very good job, Sir Louis Bernard - to stand up at a time when everyone is in despair, to be selfish and to benefit others, to face a powerful enemy without retreating, and it is worthy of the best chivalry. "

Sado praised without hesitation: "At the same time and place, even if it were the saints in the history of the Church of Order, they would never have done better than you!"

Perhaps it was because of this fair and objective evaluation that the elf girl who always ignored the other party glanced at him with a look of approval and admiration in her eyes.

"As for the organization of the old gods that ran away, please don't worry about any retaliation afterwards; I have sent a company of cuirassiers and hussars to hunt them down, and among them there are many talented people with excellent strength, which are sufficient to deal with any situation!"

"About this, please be sure to remind them!"

Looking at the confident Sir Sardo, Louis, who was not worried about retribution after the incident, suddenly remembered something, and quickly added: "Those... the leader of the old gods, he is not only a blood magic caster, but also an awakened bloodline. The genius of power!"

"A gifted person who has awakened the power of blood?"

Sado was stunned at first, then his eyes widened, and he blurted out in shock: "How is this possible?!"

"But it just happened!" Louis' expression instantly became solemn:

"The other party first disguised as an ordinary spellcaster, and when he was about to be defeated by me, he exposed the essence of the old gods' spellcaster, and successfully escaped with the power of blood magic-and neither blood magic nor blood power was weak. This ability alone is enough to defeat two or three ordinary talents!"

Sado was completely shocked. He originally thought that with the strength of the liberal traitors, he would hire some insignificant characters at most. Now it seems that he may have thought things simple.

"Thank you for your reminder, this information is very important!"

After a brief period of consternation, Sado quickly regained the calm that a leader should have: "I will immediately send someone to notify the chasing troops and let them maintain the highest vigilance."

That's what he said, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind to pretend to be good, and he must not really hunt him down—if he did catch it, it would be a big trouble!

"I can only provide you with some information, and there is nothing I can do about the rest." Louis sighed and laughed a little at himself:

"As for whether it is true or false, please tell it yourself."

Um?

Sado, who was stunned for a while, suddenly felt as if he had found something, and it seemed like he was just delusional: "Sir Louis, please forgive me for being rude, but I see that you look like this... You are not very surprised?"

"Is it possible that you have seen similar situations in the past?"

"I……"

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Louie froze first, and then quickly added: "I've only passed the period of surprise, so I can be a little calmer than you are now; to be honest, it's still very difficult until now. Confidence."

"But these are just trivial matters. The stability of Yangfan City is the top priority right now - what do you think?"

Louis, who forcibly changed the subject, looked at the other party with a slightly unnatural expression.

"...you're right."

Sado nodded slightly, he deliberately avoided the young knight's sight, and asked with a meaningful voice: "How to restore stability and tranquility to Yangfan City is the most difficult task at the moment."

"In the current situation, we have two options: one ~www.readwn.com~ is to let the army manage and maintain the normal operation of the city and the colony... But it can only be temporary, and the current situation does not allow us to consume it. A lot of manpower and material resources are needed to maintain stability, and this will definitely attract dissatisfaction from local forces and people."

"The second is to let the Sail City Council start running again; it is a pity that the parliamentarians who were loyal to the empire have been purged, and the rest are traitors; they have the ability to support the general framework, but their reputation is completely stinky."

"We can use their power to let the army provide the bottom line of order, but we must never let them become the nominal rulers of Yangfan City!"

"You must find a compromise, a prestigious one who can be recognized by all parties, who knows the military and how to manage a city, who can be well guarded against those traitors...the perfect candidate..."

Taking a deep breath, Sir Sardo looked up at the young knight in front of him, and asked in an extremely serious and seductive voice:

"Dear Sir Louis Bernard, are you interested in..."

"What about being the Governor of Sail City?"
