I Will Be The Crowned King

The loud noise of the collision of gold and stones pierced the eardrums of everyone present, as if witnessing a white light flashing in front of the eyes like a thunderbolt, and gravel flying everywhere.

Taking the sword-wielding figure as an incomparably neat fan, the fortifications, sandbags, horses, wooden fences, and stone slabs on the ground were all shattered by the shock.

In front of the closed gate, the expressionless young knight still kept his knife-wielding posture, and the soldiers hiding under the cover were staring at his back, worried but did not dare to go forward easily because of the order.

With his eyes open, Louis gasped softly. The burden of using the power of blood with all his strength was greater than he imagined, especially now that he has two powers of blood at the same time, and the cost and side effects are also significantly higher than in the past. .

But these "improvements" also gave him a different understanding - for example, why did Brother Kroger fail to awaken the power of the bloodline, and even finally took the risk and embarked on the road of no return in pursuit of the power of the old god.

If it is not obvious when it comes to a kind of power, then when the power of the two bloodlines is combined, the young knight can clearly perceive that it is not only the power in the bloodline, but his own body... from top to bottom... has begun change.

The simplest description is that it is no longer like an ordinary human being, but... the old gods, or the elves after awakening.

The only difference is that the triggering mechanism is slightly different, and even at the moment of swinging the knife, Louis even feels like a real conjurer, using a kind of conjuration magic that is unique to him.

Perhaps, this is the essence of the "power of blood"; perhaps, the two powers have been the same from the beginning, which is why Brother Kroger...

There was a little doubt in Louis' heart, but it was only a doubt... Now he no longer has any confusion.

"boom-!

"

At the same time as he got up and put away the knife, the impregnable city gate collapsed along with it, and the huge door panel was no longer overwhelmed, shattered like a paper lake, and smashed everywhere.

And just when the soldiers of the New World Legion were about to regroup, to cover up from the city gate, or to face the defenders who were already ready to go behind the gate, a solitary figure appeared in front of them.

Draco Cortez, smiling and holding his hands behind his back, stood motionless, as if he was completely petrified from fright, and it took nearly half a minute to regain his senses.

Then, he was surrounded by a swarm of soldiers.

"That! That that... uh..."

The novelist who was "surrounded" by the bright bayonets laughed very hard, took out the long-prepared white flag from behind, and waved it twice at the fierce-looking soldiers:

"I... came to negotiate!"

…………

Moby Dick Wharf, Mujahideen Command Headquarters.

"Although it seems too late to say it now, I still hope you are mentally prepared."

Walking outside the door alone, Glad looked at the crowded hall and said to Phyllis's back: "Even if the negotiation is successful and the result is beneficial to the Mujahideen, those people will not thank you for it."

"No... It should be said that it is precisely because of the benefits to the Mujahideen that they will never thank you as a hero; if I guess correctly, the commanders and leaders of the army, except Fernando, should more or less rebel against the colonies. There is contact with the army."

"Yeah, but I have no way out." Looking at the city walls that were still filled with gunpowder smoke, Phyllis smiled wryly: "No... It should be said that from the moment I replaced you as the commander-in-chief, I had no way out. "

"Maybe you can't imagine it, maybe you think I'm just exaggerating, but from the moment I took office, I had a hunch that things were going in this direction, and then I did everything I could to avoid it."

"But in the end, it still came... I didn't feel like the disaster was coming at all in the beginning, as if the end of the world had come; on the contrary, I was somewhat relieved." Phyllis shook his head:

"Now I have finally gotten rid of my previous anxiety and restlessness; perhaps deep down, I actually hope that this result may not be the case."

Grad nodded slightly: "Maybe."

Under the hustle and bustle, two people who didn't want to communicate too much with each other became the quietest corner, waiting calmly and patiently for a certain result.

Although the relationship between the two was very good in the past, in any case, Phyllis's behavior was equivalent to betrayal of the Knights of Judgment and Grad himself; from the moment he accepted the order, Phyllis essentially joined The side of the monastery in the Holy See is no longer a part of the Knights.

After a few minutes of silence, the adjudication knight in charge of the order hurried to the door of the hall. After a moment of hesitation, he finally handed the information to Pheleus and left quickly.

After a quick glance, Phyllis's expression changed suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

"No... Forget it, there's nothing to hide from you."

With a light sigh, Pheleus turned to look at Grad: "The city gate on the northwest side has been breached and occupied by the rebels; the guy who claims to be a novelist is negotiating with the defenders on the opposite side and outside the city. matters.”

Grad raised his eyebrows: "Soon."

"Yeah... The opposite side is more efficient than we thought, so the jihadist army will have no way to retreat." Pheleus nodded slightly, the city gate was breached, even if the defenders outside the town were still there, Ludwig There are also ample reasons not to deploy troops to reinforce the city, and there is nothing they can do.

"If that's the case, then I won't bother you... Your Excellency Commander." Grad, who still turned his back to him, said solemnly, "Negotiations have never been my strength, not to mention that I have already failed once. It is more appropriate for me to avoid it.”

The head of the regiment... Phyllis turned his head back, his excited hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly: "Master, please stop!"

"I...about the fall of the Heart of Mercy, and the list of the missing and killed on the airship, I have something to tell you..."

"Those, let's wait until the negotiation is over." Grad steals without looking back: "Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer...but not now."

Pheleus, who was staring at his back, stretched his right hand forward, subconsciously trying to stop him, but he had to put it down in the end.

"Yeah, not now." Pheleus murmured in a low voice: "The main war faction and the main peace faction, the knights and the monastery..."

"The faction war of the Holy See has just begun."

………………

Beluga Port City Gate, temporary headquarters.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Louis Bernard took a deep breath and turned to look at Anson:

"Are you sure the guy named... Draco Cortez can be trusted?"

The young knight has not had much contact with a novelist, but he has a basic understanding of the truth, and probably knows the style of this organization, which is to oppose the Church of the Ring of Order in all things all the time, even at the cost of Instigate war.

Coupled with Queen Yinsel... a certain elf girl's impression of him is also extremely bad, and it is difficult for Louis to have any good impression of this person.

Of course, good feelings have nothing to do with reality, but a guy who is always against the church, who is always in trouble and doesn't think it's a big deal suddenly starts talking about peace, always makes people wonder if there is something wrong here, and naturally they will doubt his words. How much credibility.

"It's very simple and completely unbelievable." Anson raised his head and shrugged helplessly: "Putting hope on Draco Cortez, this kind of behavior is somewhat similar to not directly looking for a landlord to rent a house, Instead, they pin their hopes of finding a good house on the agent."

"...What do you mean?" The dignified heir of the Bernard family couldn't understand such an overly down-to-earth metaphor.

"It means that you got into trouble because of him, and I hope he can help you solve it, and then his solution is to find someone who is almost as willing as you." Anson's mouth rose:

"It's troublesome to solve it by creating new troubles... Well, it's basically the most prominent behavioral feature of this guy. In his words, everything is moving forward, and the problem is the same, only continuous progress can from being engulfed by the storm."

"...It sounds a bit inexplicable, but it doesn't make sense."

Louis frowned slightly and thought about it seriously: "I once met some universal religious priests in the wilderness in Port Adelland, and they also said similar mottos, and the church's 'eternal order' It seems to be the exact opposite."

"Ah! Difficult, is it because the concepts in this area are completely different, are they so obsessed with confrontation with the Holy See? The contradictions that rise to the level of doctrine are indeed not so easy to resolve."

No, no, in my opinion, this group of people is just looking for trouble... Looking at Louis who suddenly realized, Anson couldn't help but secretly said in his heart.

They insist on finding a reason for the various actions of the Truth Society, and that is probably their destruction of order and balance... The Three Kingdoms of the North Sea, Yinsel Elf, Hantu, and even Clovis and the New World, if anyone breaks the old order and creates a new one The opportunity for power, this group of people will not miss it.

As for who needs to cooperate in this process, or be used in reverse, or even take the blame... The truth seems to not care at all, but if the original forces in the area are completely swept away, or the goal that the Holy See hopes to achieve is destroyed, they are successful. .

Right now they are allies, but in fact they are genuine underground organizations. Compared with them, the Knights of the Untrustworthy are considered too small in structure and shallow in business ability. It's like the truth will always put things first. , not afraid of life and death.

"...In other words, whether the Nakhir rebels' fleet support, or this well-timed negotiation, is a part of the truth that the truth will use us to achieve their goals?"

Louis summed it up in a low voice: "On the contrary, if the negotiation fails to achieve their goals, or goes in the opposite direction, does it not rule out the possibility that they will be on the side of our enemy?"

"It's not possible, it's for sure." An Sen nodded slightly, agreeing:

"The truth will... When they are your allies, you will be very worried about them; but when they are your enemies, you will be even more worried... They are this kind of guy."

Louis paused and looked at Anson with a deep meaning: "And you... know them well?"

"It can only be said that in general, it is always a coincidence to meet these guys."

"Almost every time it coincides with their actions?"

"Not almost, just every time."

"And always adding a lot of variables to your actions or plans...?"

"This can only be said to be good and bad, but it is generally a preference. Well, it's best not to have it again next time."

"... such a deep bond, no wonder your feelings for them are so complicated."

"Yeah, I would prefer something simpler, such as immortality." An Sen sighed deeply:

"Unfortunately, it's probably impossible to get what you want in the short term."

Before he finished speaking, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

The young knight laughed too.

"Although I really want to say that the next negotiation can be handed over to me, but this time you probably won't agree as easily as last time, right?" Louis asked while laughing: "But if the two of us If everyone is present, it is not easy to discuss who is the one who is really responsible for making decisions."

"In the past, you would probably be humble first, then come up with a plan, and then use various means to ensure that I would proceed with the negotiation in the way you want without fail... If you guessed correctly, you probably already have a plan this time. Eucalyptus."

Anson's smile suddenly became awkward.

"But this time, I think it may not be necessary to do so." Louis stared at Anson with a burning gaze: "As the representative of the Marshal of the New World Legion, you are solely responsible for this negotiation; all related matters, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com I'll give you a grasp."

"I promise you, and only this time... No matter what the final result of the negotiation is, I will sign my name on it without changing it - the world will only know Louis Bernard, the traitor of the Empire as the leader of the Free Confederation. identity, to reach a settlement with the Mujahideen, no one will know the true identity of the person in charge of the negotiations."

"…why?"

An Sen, who was stunned for a moment, asked with a dazed expression.

"There are many reasons, but the most important thing is that this time, although you did have a reason to act driven by interests, in any case, the final result is that the people of the new world have been saved."

"And as a knight, I haven't been able to do this, and I've even preferred to hide countless times rather than do what a knight should do... Just think I'm making amends for my own fault, plus trust in you. ."

Louis smiled slightly, patted Anson on the shoulder, picked up the saber by the table and walked out:

"In addition, I have a small agreement with another friend to go there, which is a reason for having to leave temporarily."
