I Will Be The Crowned King

Perhaps it was because of the previous experience of the Beluga Harbor Council, almost at the same time as the explosion sounded, the impassioned Phileas had already hid in the corner at a lightning-fast speed, holding his head in place. prostrate down.

On the contrary, Pavel, who was sitting on the sofa, was delayed for hiding time. In a hurry, he could only get close to the fireplace and hide under the table, and was almost opened by the falling beam.

At the same time, the earth-shattering roar was not over yet... The whimpering and roaring storm dominated the entire dome, the scorching air waves wreaked havoc on the ground at will, and the countless rubble and rubble were smashed like thunderstorms. When it landed on the ground, the exquisite and luxurious smoking room in the last second was left with only the remains that were broken and regrettable.

With his ears buzzing, Phyllis held his head tightly, and his heart fell into a great panic. Countless pessimistic speculations flooded into his mind like a flood: Ludwig's mutiny, Pavel Duka Skye goes to the enemy, Fernando Herrede is actually a spy of the Clovis people, the truth will rebel against the party and start a riot in the city, the Rune family is desperate...

Strictly speaking, these are not even the worst results. After all, if the jihadist army really ended in a disastrous defeat, the Holy See would have sufficient reasons to organize round after round of the jihadist army to wash the new world.

But for some reason, realizing that the enemy was actually Pheleus, who had the potential to overturn the table, he couldn't contain his trembling heart; even though he had been breathing a lot of sand into his throat, he could still feel that indescribable feeling. asphyxia…

"boom-!"

A crisp sound resounded above his head, and Phyllis raised his eyes desperately trying to hide his horror. He was only slightly relieved when he saw that it was Pavel. The dusty hair and face vividly described the word "wolverine" perfectly.

Phyllis, who was helped to stand up, took the telescope handed by Pavel, and immediately noticed several battleships in the fjord not far away that were spitting fire and gunpowder, and they were firing rounds at the ports and towns in rows. Rounds of cannonballs and billowing black smoke rose and fell around the pier.

Then, he saw the thirteen-star ringed flag flying at the top of the battleship's main mast.

"The Free Confederation..." Pheleus shouted in astonishment, "How could these colony rebels have their own fleet?!"

"Of course they didn't." Pavel sighed meaningfully, and his right hand was always firmly on Phyllis's shoulder:

"Didn't you find that the shapes of these ships look surprisingly familiar?"

Familiar?

Phyllis, who was stunned for a few seconds, observed it carefully for a long time, and then suddenly, as if someone had pierced the top of his skull with an ice pick, the commander-in-chief of the jihad army suddenly felt a chill, and began to feel uncomfortable from head to toe. Shaking for a while, a few words popped out from under the clenched teeth as if biting hard:

"The Three Kingdoms of the North Sea?!"

The equally unbelievable Pavel Dukalski's eyes became confused, and he suddenly remembered the Clovis Royal Fleet that had left at the beginning of the battle by "receiving reinforcements".

Although it is not clear what the process is and what is the reason in the middle, the answer has been clearly displayed in the minds of the two of them: The Three Kingdoms of the North Sea... More precisely, the pirate fleet formed by the rebel nobles of the Nakhir Kingdom, Have taken refuge with the colonial rebels!

At present, there are only a few cruisers and a battleship of the Imperial "Grand Fleet" moored in the port of Beluga Harbor, and in order to strengthen the peripheral defense line, most of the sailors have been dispatched to build fortifications and serve as the logistics force, and only a very small number are responsible for the normal operation. The gunner who maintains and is responsible for the fire protection of the defending army... Faced with a sudden attack from the sea, the fate can be imagined.

As for the Clovis Royal Fleet that "just happened to be absent", they shouldn't appear again until the end of the battle, right?

Pavel, who secretly sighed in his heart, not only looked back at the battlefield outside the town behind him.

His movements were small, but he was still noticed by the alert Phileas: "What are you looking at?"

"The battle outside the town doesn't seem to have had any results, and it is still in a stalemate with the enemy." Pavel responded immediately without changing his face:

"I can hold back for such a long time with a slightly weaker force than the enemy, and still do it with ease. Your Excellency Ludwig is really an excellent leader. Would you like him to send some reinforcements back to reinforce the defense of the port?"

"Defense, why?"

"With all due respect, Sir Pheleus, when a fleet is usually attacking a port, one hundred percent will not consider landing operations; Scale, I'm afraid..."

"There's no need for that!"

Without even thinking about it, Phyllis directly rejected his suggestion - to let Clovis's inner ghost control the defensive power in Beluga Harbor City again, that is not the same as betting the fate of the entire Crusaders on Ludwig's absolute loyalty. Is it on the ring of order?

Of course, this cannot be said on the bright side: "The defense outside the city is equally important, and we don't know the details of the battle outside the city. It's better not to put pressure on Major General Ludwig."

I don't know the details, I don't dare to know... Pavel sneered in his heart, of course he would not expose the opponent's face, just like he would not send his army to the dock, which would be a waste of delaying the landing of the enemy fleet. Taste.

If he was still a little shaken at the beginning, then as the situation in Beluga Harbor gradually became clear, Pavel has decided to put all his bets on Ludwig and Ansen Bach, and never let the Holy See meddle in the new world. Benefit!

However, cooperation is a bargaining chip, so this Sir Phyllis in front of him, and the tens of thousands of people in the town, are the bargaining chips of Pavel Dukowski; Commands don't mess around while making sure that no accident results in a large number of casualties in the town.

In exchange, the Dukasky family should have a place of their own in the cabins of the New World Company and the Northland Chamber of Commerce... They want to win over the Grand Duchy of Brahm to become an ally, and prevent Roland and the Bernard family from making blood. how?

"Why didn't the port forts on the east and west flanks of Ice Dragon Fjord have any prior warning and response?!"

Pheleus, who was forced to remain calm, could not restrain his panic more and more, and he was inexperienced in the military, and now he looked suspicious: "Isn't their mission just to monitor the water and watch out for possible enemy fleets? !"

"My lord..." Even if Pavel was as patient as Pavel, he began to feel a little speechless, but he couldn't help but reminded softly: "The artillery batteries on both sides of the port were already captured by Major General Ludwig when he conquered Beluga Harbor. All destroyed and not repaired."

"No repair, why?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Phyllis saw Pavel's helpless eyes that flashed past, and instantly understood the reason—yes, the colonial rebels didn't have a fleet, so who were the two forts in the port to defend against?

But Phileas will definitely not say such self-slapped words, and Pavel also understands it, and finds the steps for the other party long before he opens his mouth: "Of course, although the fort has been destroyed, the jihadist army is still there. A small observation post was established at the original site, and normally it should be able to issue a warning immediately."

"But they haven't had any feedback so far, which means..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and he raised the monocular in the direction that Pavel pointed; on the towering cliffs of Ice Dragon Fjord, a 13-star ringed flag of Venus on a blue background was hunting in the wind on the top of the mountain.

"If you guessed correctly, they should have moved their hands in the dark last night." Pavel sighed:

"The colonial rebels have taken control of the Beluga Harbor Command, which is equivalent to blocking the only escape route for the two forts. As long as the speed is fast enough and the movement is secretive enough, the sentries of the few observation stations in the area will not even have the opportunity to ask for help. "

Pavel's face was extremely ugly.

at this time…

"Boom!"

A sudden loud noise exploded in the direction of the Beluga Port wharf, and between the narrow fjords, the battleship moored in the most central position suddenly burst into flames.

The raging fire devoured the entire deck at an extremely alarming speed, extending all the way to the sky along the main mast, shining brightly under the clear sky.

The already chaotic docks were full of exclamations and shouts. The jihadist army, which was not in the preponderance of numbers, tried their best to maintain order, and could only ensure that it would not fall into complete chaos.

From time to time, a figure holding a wine barrel and a wooden board jumped from the moored ship into the boiling water, and swam desperately to the pier to call for help.

Looking at this familiar scene, Phyllis and Pavel looked at each other and fell silent.

"Boom!"

The loud noise like thunder came again, and the burning sails smashed heavily on the deck of the battleship, and the flames had completely wrapped the entire hull.

In the face of the sudden enemy, several battleships moored in the port with almost no sailors were completely powerless to fight back; even the battleships galloping across the sea were nothing more than motionless wooden targets.

The Nakhir rebels who seized the opportunity poured out their firepower almost desperately, and the excited gunners cheered, as if they had found extraordinary pleasure in the matter of firing a gun-hitting.

The fact is almost the same... Although Nakhir is already considered the strongest among the Three North Sea Kingdoms, whether in front of Clovis or the Empire, he is not even qualified for an equal dialogue; if the Three North Sea Kingdoms are not as a whole, there is no It will not attract the attention of any forces in the orderly world.

Such a country that is hardly respected, now has the opportunity to wantonly ravage the most powerful fleet in the entire ordered world... The excitement and joy are indescribable in words.

"Can't wait any longer, Sir Phyllis!"

Pavel said solemnly: "Please order immediately, and let Major General Arthur Herrid outside the city send reinforcements to support the port, or at least some of Sir Arthur Herrid, or the army of the Knights of Judgment to be transferred back ."

"Otherwise, when the enemy has completely annihilated the warships in the port and begins to land, it is absolutely difficult to compete with the size of the jihadist army in the city!"

Pheleus, who was staring at him, didn't seem to hear his words. The tight heartstrings seemed to have made him stop thinking completely, or dared not think.

Transfer the defenders outside the city to the port... It's easy to say, but if Ludwig's army is recruited, then the entire Crusaders are at risk of being coerced or even kidnapped by him; in turn, the Knights of Judgment and Arthur The same is true for Herid. Without this last restraint, what Ludwig can do is really only clear to him.

But Pavel has also made his words very clear: if the army is not dispatched to the city to garrison as soon as possible, Beluga Harbor will undoubtedly fall—and it is absolutely literal, and there is absolutely no second possibility.

After a brief struggle, Phyllis chose the safest option: "Send messengers to the front, and transfer the Knights of Judgment back to the city as soon as possible to reinforce the port."

"Follow your orders!"

The court marquis with a respectful face touched his chest and saluted gracefully, bending his waist to 90 degrees: "Your order is your code of conduct."

Looking at the figure of the latter leaving calmly, the corners of Phileas' mouth twitched slightly - even now, the representative of the Grand Duchy of Brahm is still slippery like some kind of gelatinous creature, He is thinking about throwing the pot out of the pot all the time, and he will never take even the slightest responsibility.

But this kind of person is the only person that he and the Holy See can recruit and buy... Pheleus, who sighed inwardly, stood in the ruins, still looking nervously at the incoming Nakhir rebels.

At this time, the battle at sea, or the unilateral massacre has basically come to an end... Although it was only a destruction and did not sink any battleship of the Mujahideen, the obstacles that blocked their attack no longer existed, and thousands of Nakhir rebelled. Pirates under the aristocracy may land at Beluga Harbor at any time with a 13-star ring flag.

Of course, these armies are not many compared to the jihadist garrison in the city, and even more, and their weapons and equipment are also well-equipped; the problem is that these armies continue to suppress tens of thousands of people, and there are some mistakes. Not to mention the enemy's attack, Beluga Port may blow up first!

At 15:33, after another round of artillery bombardment on the port, which completely destroyed the fortifications around the dock, the Nakhir fleet finally began to lay down its small boats and organized the army to prepare for the official landing and siege of the city.

Pheleus, who still hadn't received any news from the Knights of Judgment, had already begun to fall into despair. The cold touch came like a flood, rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his limbs gradually began to become numb and weak.

Then, he heard an absolutely unexpected piece of information from the mouth of Pavel Dukaski, who hurried back:

"What, the Hantu Crusader Army...has arrived outside Beluga Port City?!"
