I Will Be The Crowned King

,

North of Sail City, the colonial countryside.

Under the blood-red sunset, black smoke columns rose slowly on the golden meadow, and the line soldiers lined up neatly, holding the King Clovis flag high. The burning village manor is slowly advancing.

Historic manors were turned into ruins in the raging fire, the fertile fields were filled with corpses full of bullet holes, black ashes with a scorching smell were flying in the sky, and from time to time there would be volleys of gunfire in the wilderness. roar……

In the temporary camp filled with all kinds of messy loot, Fabian, the head of the grenadier regiment, and the officers of the storm division stood on the spot, relaxed and comfortable looking at this familiar scene that could not be more familiar.

Behind them, a group of staff officers and logistics personnel were under the command of the junior secretary Alan Dawn, quickly counting the results of the battle and the captured spoils; wealthy businessmen from Sail City gathered around them, looking at the pile of The ragged beast slaves were driven by the cavalry and gathered on the hillside surrounded by fences, while eagerly discussing the price of each beast slave and the redemption cost of their own property...

With Sail City finally announcing its membership in the Free Confederation, the two-year-long war of independence from the outbreak of the rebellion finally came to an end.

In order not to hit the first snow of winter, the Confederate legions gathered in Sail City began to take each colony as a unit, and embarked on a journey back home with the honor of victory and the grumbling of nothing.

Although these colonial militiamen from Winter Torch City, who had been fighting **** battles with the imperial army and lackeys all the way to Yangfan City, were victorious in consecutive battles, they did not even get a chance to enjoy the spoils.

Of course, they have nothing to complain about besides complaining - except for the final battle of Yangfan City, most of the colonial militia's war experience is "going to Yangfan City from their hometown", and the luckiest even one I have no experience in combat, and the only "Imperial Army" I have ever seen is the friendly army of Yangfan City.

The top officials of the federation are also eager to transfer these "child soldiers" back quickly; on the one hand, they are propagating the good news of the victory of the war, and on the other hand, the fact that these people stay for one more day will cost them a day. The huge cost of the war has already made them unbearable. .

At the same time, Yangfan City has also begun to get bored with these "life-saving benefactors" - although the business is still going on, they are not rich who have just experienced the siege. More than 10,000 soldiers even with the minimum daily consumption have already made Yangfan City's people Prices soared to unacceptable levels.

Because of the collective invitation of the wealthy businessmen and property owners in the city, the storm division was temporarily stationed outside the city to suppress the rebels in the suburbs-of course, it was nominally an employee recruitment project signed by the "New World Company" and these wealthy businessmen.

With the active cooperation and unremitting efforts of both parties, Newland, with only one signboard and 20 employees, recruited 2,000 qualified employees in just one day; Deeply poisoned by heresy and cult ideology.

but it does not matter! Because the company has prepared a full, comprehensive, six-week training plan for them; and also includes room and board, including distribution.

Strive for two weeks to be refreshed in spirit, four weeks to become a qualified employee, and six weeks to embark on the road of being responsible for customers, trusting in the ring of order, and being loyal to the company!

Next, the company will make persistent efforts to complete the recruitment and reception of at least 4,000 employees within three days, not to cause trouble to the local government - referring to a certain governor of Yangfan City - not to cause difficulties to the local people, not only It is necessary to provide these unemployed animal slaves with the possibility of re-employment, and let them re-benefit the society and become a new force for the reconstruction and prosperity of Yangfan City.

So as the Confederate army gradually withdrew, and the colonial strongholds outside the city were recaptured one by one, more and more captured beast slaves and the "naturalized natives" in the city continued to join the New World Company. Influence is also expanding.

Even the pro-storm division forces in Yangfan City have also shown a significant increase, and they have expressed great interest in the upcoming "Coal Mine Bank"... It is a small surprise.

………………

"Crack!"

The crisp mechanical sound reverberated in the small study room. With the dim candlelight, Anson skillfully loaded the Saint Pierre II steam gun in his hand with ammunition.

This steam spray gun was a trophy seized from the other party when he first met with the Knights of No Faith in Moby-Dick Harbor; for obvious reasons, Anson did not return it together with the original owner's body afterwards.

When I first got it, the rifling of this gun was about to be worn out, and the gas tank was also worn out. Because I couldn’t find a professional gunsmith and couldn’t buy a qualified gas tank, I kept it in the small secretary.

It was not until the end of the siege of Black Reef Harbor that the famous underground second-hand dealer, Carlin Jacques, used his channels in the New World to acquire a 90% new gas tank that he did not know where it came from. Bring this dying weapon back to life.

The maximum range is 1,000 meters, and the effective range is 300 to 600 meters. When the gas tank is full, it can shoot 25 rounds in one minute, or a blow with a power comparable to a three-pound run... If the trial court The weapon belongs to the magic modification of "special attack on the caster", then the Knights of Judgment are absolutely crushed.

From airships as vehicles to "ordinary equipment" such as steam guns, almost no army in the entire world of order is qualified to be an opponent of the Knights of Judgment.

According to the little clerk, the ruling knights are very strict in the management of the standard weapons they own. Usually, unless a member of the knights dies unexpectedly, there will never be an outflow of weapons.

If this is true, then Anson has reason to suspect that the Church of Order or the ruling Knights are seriously corrupt, and they have used various methods to smuggle and smuggle the weapons of the Knights all the year round... Otherwise, I can't explain why I can buy it so easily in the New World. A complete set of consumables for a steam spray gun plus maintenance equipment.

He gently placed his right hand on the trigger, and with an invisible blue light flashing, the gas tank that had been rubbed with the spell was instantly filled.

"Sure enough, it's exactly as I expected." An Sen muttered to himself, proudly raising the corners of his mouth.

As a weapon specially distributed to all talented people - or at least almost all members - of the Knights of Judgment, the steam gun can not only be loaded with ordinary buckshot, but also if the user awakens the power of the "Wind Knight" bloodline. Can be fired directly without ammunition.

When he got this trophy, he had doubts: If you can use it as long as you have the power of the bloodline of the wind knight, can you use conjuration magic to achieve a similar effect?

The result is totally doable.

However, the effect of the power of blood is not limited by the casting range like incantation, but this does not matter, as long as the range is gathered from the whole body to the steam spray gun, and then infinitely elongated along the trajectory, theoretically it even has an infinite range.

Of course, only in theory.

As an infantry weapon, this steam gun can hardly find any shortcomings, and the scope of application ranges from fire coverage to fixed-point sniping; unless it has a comprehensively strengthened bloodline like Louis Bernard. Power, even if the usual talent or caster can detect the trajectory, it is almost impossible to dodge...

"Well 唔呜 ... !!!!"

The tender voice whimpered, interrupting Anson's wild thoughts.

He turned his head, and the girl sitting next to him was already full of impatience, staring at the steam gun in his arms.

"Okay, I'll give it back to you."

Seeing Lisa who was about to rush to grab it, Anson sighed helplessly: "But you must remember to take good care of it; there is only one weapon in the whole new world, and if it breaks, I won't be able to find the second one. already."

"Um!"

The girl with tears in her eyes nodded vigorously, and carefully put the steam spray gun into the holster on her back—yes, this was also "bonus" with the gas tank.

Almost from the first sight, the girl quickly abandoned her "old favorite" Borny and fell in love with this new weapon; except for the little secretary - he did not threaten - even Anson Don't touch it too much, for fear of being robbed by others.

It doesn't need extra ammunition, it can shoot quickly, the range is long enough, and the power is huge... It can be said that a steam spray gun can stand up to the upper and lower half of the girl's body before, and all the requirements that can be imagined have been met.

For Lisa Bach, this is like a full set of dolls in the eyes of other girls, including but not limited to format sizes, skirts, hats, shoes and socks, hair... And each one has at least a dozen colors to choose from.

Shaking his head, Anson took out the Inquisitor's pocket watch in his jacket pocket. The pointer on the glass dial just reached 11:50.

"Lisa."

"Anson?"

The girl who was busy oiling the trigger raised her head and blinked her big emerald eyes.

Gently "snap!" to close the watch cover, Ansen's right hand hooked up the gray long trench coat on the back of the chair:

"We should go."

……………………

Sail City Governor's Mansion, master bedroom.

Through the crack of the door, Freya, with her hands behind her back, quietly looked at the young knight who had already fallen asleep early; probably exhausted by the papers during the day, he slept soundly, the corners of his eyes and lips tightened at this moment. It finally bloomed and completely relaxed.

At this time, she specially put on a simple long-sleeved coat, simple thick gloves and boots, and a blue and white scarf... At a cursory glance, she could not even tell her gender, which was no different from ordinary colonists.

Without opening the door, she quietly stood in the corridor and peeked in; it seemed that just by looking at it, she had already gained great happiness.

I don't know how long it took, and obvious footsteps came slowly from behind.

"Why don't you go in?"

The elf girl whose complexion changed slightly slowly turned her head back, her icy eyes staring at the petite figure behind her;

"You should like him very much, and you really want to be with him; if that's the case, isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime... good opportunity?"

The moment the girl uttered the last word, Freya's pupils burst into a murderous intent.

But in the next second, she recovered as before, and then slowly closed the bedroom with the crack in the door.

"Rune, or August Rune... Don't think I don't know about you." The elf girl said coldly:

"Clowe is the only thousand-year-old family in existence, hum... It's really a terrifying existence for you to be the 'only' one."

"Thanks for the compliment, it's just an encouragement to maintain it." The smiling Talia raised the corner of her skirt and saluted:

"After all, the world ruled by the Ring of Order is different from the Iser elves. It is really full of intrigue, the strong eat the weak, and if you don't become the only one, you are doomed to die - unlike the Moses Field family, which can live in harmony with the other twelve families."

"For you, Anson Bach is just a tool to strengthen the family and continue its existence, just like the countless friends who have been used by you before... Am I right?"

Freya snorted softly: "A family like you who is completely inhuman, who can give up everything for the so-called 'perfect evolution' and 'transcendence', can really understand what it means to cherish? Why... why..."

The elf girl's words came to an abrupt end.

As if feeling that she was just wasting time, she bit her lip, leaving Talia who was still standing there, and walked towards the door step by step.

"got it."

The soft voice wafted in the wind, blocking Freya's path.

She looked back, and saw that Talia, whose mouth was slightly raised, was also looking at herself, with a little glimmer in her quiet eyes.

"Talia... I have had four fiancés before, Anson is the fifth." The girl smiled:

"A true believer of God who is detached from the world, a traitor who is scheming, a coward who is incompetent and cowardly, and a careerist with lofty aspirations."

"They have two things in common: firstly, neither was Talia's choice; secondly, neither of them could see Talia in their eyes."

"But the fifth...Dear Anson...he...doesn't meet either of these two conditions~www.readwn.com~ The stunned elf girl suddenly realized something, her pupils shrank slightly: "You, you shouldn't …”

"Of course, there's a reason for that; in a sense, dear Anson...he's also a callous bastard, though Talia doesn't hate that, even likes it." Talia shook her head, re-evaluating look at her:

"But Talia has never asked for too much... Your Majesty Freya, please forgive me for being rude, but your problem is that you want too much, otherwise you won't be reduced to where you are today. "

"But since you are a king, how can you restrain your greed? Even if you are swallowed up by greed, it is probably better for you than suffering?"

After she finished speaking, she walked to the side of the elf girl, but her head was raised as if a queen was looking down at all beings:

"Let's go."

"We're going to protect the king...and 'their' new kingdom."
