I Will Be The Crowned King

Chapter 62 Good News

By the time the artillerymen in charge of the cavalry guns reloaded for the second round, the battle at the Redbeard Tavern was over.

No matter how tough the mercenaries are, they are still vulnerable in the face of a large-scale and organized army with heavy firepower.

When the "warriors" who were trying to break through the cavalry collapsed under the muzzle of the carbine guns in the hands of the cavalry, the remaining mercenaries immediately woke up; they cried and threw down their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy, or they tried to escape.

But it's the same either way: being shot by line soldiers or cavalry with revolvers.

When dealing with this kind of problem, the storm division, who has no experience in managing the city's public order, can only "carry forward" the tradition that Fabien inherited from the guards; How much information is extracted from their mouths, and they are all shot to death without leaving a living hole, which is the best deterrent to the latecomers.

"...The most important thing in suppressing the riots is speed! It must be fast, clean, and not dragging its feet; only in this way can we show the city the strength and determination of her guardians, and let everyone see how decisive our actions are. Minimize losses!"

"…Any civilian, if they're just protesting, then they're still civilians; if they take up arms, especially if they take up a rifle or any homemade firearm, they're a thug and don't hesitate to slap their heads The trigger is the best way to protect yourself and the city..." Fabian said.

Lieutenant Jason took this very seriously. If Commander Anson Bach was not still in the tavern, he actually planned to blow up the tavern together.

Looking at the corpses everywhere, Jason was even a little disappointed; the thugs fell too fast, not even allowing the citizens of Beluga Harbor to see the scene of the cavalry charging on the street with knives and knocking the thugs flying.

The cavalry who had cleaned up the remnants of the enemy dismounted one after another and began to clean the battlefield, dragging the corpses to both sides of the street, and then collectively loaded them into the emptied artillery carts and ammunition carts and dragged them away.

Minimizing the impact of the accident on the community and trying not to let ordinary people see what happened with their own eyes is also an important part of maintaining stability and stopping losses.

"It looks like it's over."

Looking at the shrapnel smashed by shrapnel on the street outside, Karno put away the long spear that turned into a shield, stood up and looked around, making sure that there was no danger before turning back to Anson:

"In order to suppress urban riots, they used cavalry and shrapnel, and it is worthy of the famous Clovis Royal Army."

"Thanks for the compliment...how are you going to leave?"

Pretending not to hear the cynicism in the other party's words, An Sen who was sitting on the ground leisurely smoked his pipe and asked:

"The streets outside are full of cavalry now. The second infantry regiment in the city must have blocked the port and several surrounding communities. If you go out like this now, you will definitely be caught and questioned."

"Thank you for your concern, but I have my own way."

Carneau turned his back to Anson, and the spear in his right hand disappeared under the hem of his shirt like a conjuration.

"Okay." Anson didn't bother too much. After all, the two sides are still in the initial stage of "cooperation", and trust is a luxury:

"Then if I plan to negotiate again, how can I get in touch with you?"

Karno's body froze. Although he turned his back to himself and did not look back, Anson still saw the hesitation in his expression by virtue of his "ability", and was obviously very wary of exposing his own stronghold.

But after a moment of hesitation, he still gave the answer: "There is a shop selling cinder and charcoal at the White Dove Market, if you really want to see us right away, leave a note there, write down the time and place, we will I'll be there on time."

The White Dove Market is a community close to the parliamentary area. It is opposite to the port area, which is full of chambers of commerce headquarters, exchanges and warehouses. The large market area echoes from afar, mainly for daily necessities stores and flea markets; A shop that sells cinders, which "happens" to be in the name of the Weizler family.

So the Knights of No Letter have really turned a lot of the Weizler family's properties into their own, or this was originally a deal between them... Anson guessed in his heart.

"That being said, it is more likely that we will take the initiative to get in touch with you, after all, Philby and the others are still in your hands." Karno said solemnly:

"As soon as we find clues about the "Great Magic Book" or the Cressey family, we will notify you immediately, and we hope that the commander of the dignified garrison will not break his promise."

"Of course, I will always be sincere to my friends - so I only distrust my enemies." Anson chuckled:

"Don't worry, I will not only release people, but also prepare a surprise for you."

"thanks."

Karno nodded lightly, and turned away without asking "what's the surprise", making Anson a little regretful.

After watching him leave, and making sure that Ian and the Wild Hunt -- Anson didn't remember his name -- were gone, Anson walked straight from the tavern hall into the kitchen.

In the center of the kitchen, which was full of alcohol and fishy smell, there was a six-pound field gun with its gun frame removed and only the gun body left. Blocks are fixed.

The gun body looks very old, the muzzle is full of rust marks, and the breech block is almost completely rusted to death... This kind of old antique that has already died out, the other party dares to move it out and use it, are you really afraid that the first sound will be a swan song?

The ammunition box could not be found in the kitchen, which proves that the other party has only one shell; of course, this is completely understandable, after all, it is fortunate that this old antique can fire one shot, even an experienced old gunner would not dare to fire the second shot.

There was no gun truck, no steering wheel, or even spare shells. It was basically certain that the other party knew very well that he would definitely enter that room, and was sitting right against the wall on the side of the kitchen.

If the judgment is correct, this should be the "trump card" used by the other party to kill him - as for those mercenaries, if it wasn't for the fact that he had withdrawn all the patrols in the community overnight, only one tenth of them would arrive at the tavern at most. Not much of a hassle.

But Anson is still a little unclear. Harold is deliberately killing himself in order to fight against the odds, but even if he is really killed, what method does he plan to use to end it?

It cannot be denied that a few officers of the Storm Division may have been bribed - after all, this gang of cannon fodder was united to make a fortune - but the rest was enough to blow them up; De still can't escape death.

In addition, those mercenaries are also quite suspicious. Even if they are loyal to Harold, so many people are not afraid of death, and they are too brave to kill their own colony defense commander.

While Anson was still thinking about it, the cavalry lieutenant stepped on the corpse and walked into the tavern, followed by a line of soldiers behind him.

"Captain Jason Fluhoff, Captain of the 1st Cavalry Company of the Storm Division, reports to you!"

The cavalry lieutenant beat his chest with a loud "crack!", stood up straight and shouted excitedly, "We have wiped out all the thugs outside, please give the commander-in-chief the next step!"

"Very good." An Sen nodded slightly:

"Gentlemen, you have used the fastest efficiency to curb the further spread of the riots and the negative impact of the further expansion of the situation. You have excellently proved that you are worthy of the name of the Storm Division and the honor of being the Royal Army!"

"So now I'm going to give you another very important task-to clean up the entire tavern, and take back all the weapons you see, suspected weapons, and anything that you feel is abnormal, and hand them over to the law. Lieutenant Colonel Bian will handle it."

"The entire cavalry company was dispatched, and the task of blocking the streets was handed over to the garrisoned infantry platoon, and all were dispatched to search for any suspects who were suspected of fleeing."

"But remember, you must never interfere directly, as long as you communicate the situation and news to the Faithful Alliance in each community - tell them the situation here as it is, and let the alliance and the priests of the Universal Sect deal with this matter. "

That's right, An Sen is going to intensify the contradiction, and it is a complete detonation, so that the entire Beluga Port will be completely turned upside down.

Harold is completely finished, and the Beluga Harbor Council is about to split into dozens of committees that combine interests; but this does not mean that the entire Beluga Harbor is loyal to itself... it is to the kingdom, to be precise, they are just Just fear.

To unite them around the Clovis King Banner - or around the Storm Division - in addition to clear interests, you must find a clearer enemy.

Anson is sure to introduce a large number of new immigrants and new industries to the colony; legion farms, weapons factories, manufacturing... These are on the one hand to strengthen the strength of the Rune family in the local area, but also to promote the economy of the colony.

But doing so will inevitably affect the interests of the local people, especially those industrial owners who rely on exporting raw materials; so there must be a suitable enemy that attracts everyone's attention and makes them unable to resist.

It's like although the Yisel elf has little influence on the kingdom of Clovis, and even the kingdom does not consider it to be an enemy that needs to be dealt with seriously from top to bottom; but as long as you hit him, you can stop everyone's mouths.

The current Beluga Port is actually quite similar to Clovis City last winter. The forces of all parties have begun to differentiate, conflicts and conflicts continue to erupt, and at the same time, they maintain the final quiet and fragile balance in the coming storm.

The difference is that last time I was only passively involved in it, and I could only try my best not to be completely drowned; this time...

He was the one who set off the storm.

………………

Throwing the work of disposing of the tavern wreckage to the cavalry lieutenant, Anson left the port and returned to the church in the parliamentary precinct.

At this time, the Second Infantry Regiment in the city had already begun to act, and together with the Faithful Alliance, they set up road cards and blockades in several surrounding communities, and began to investigate all "suspicious elements" one building and one street.

The Faithful Alliance, which had just obtained the security authority, showed great enthusiasm and was even more excited and indignant than the soldiers of the Storm Division, as if it was not Anson Bach who was attacked, but their Bishop Ripper.

The soldiers were also happy that these hot-blooded "volunteers" took over all the dirty work, and they kept thanking themselves; especially these jobs were all a bunch of useless work, even if there were still thugs on the run. Run away already.

Although the person in charge of the investigation changed from the garrison legion to the Faithful Alliance, the residents of several communities were still not relieved, but even more afraid-the people who could live near the port and the parliamentary area were all the richest in Beluga Port The rich have their own fishing boats and shops in their hands, which is very different from the poor ghost immigrants in Teapot Street.

In other words, basically all the members of the Beluga Harbor Council live in this area, and they haven't forgotten enough to forget about the fact that they were blocked at home by a protest march and nearly hanged by the mob the day before.

Escorted by the cavalry, Anson, who passed through the layers of inspection lines and Luca, returned to the church in the parliamentary district and pushed open the door of Carl Bain's office.

The chief of staff with a tangled face was behind his desk, holding an opened note in each hand, and stood up in shock.

"what's the situation?"

"what's the situation?!"

The two said in unison ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ only the tone was completely different.

Looking at each other, Carl resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and handed the two notes in his hand to Anson: "These two are sent together, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"bad news."

Anson said without hesitation, but did not reach out to take the note: "Let me guess, we killed all the thugs who tried to kill me and knew their identities, but because we eliminated them too thoroughly, we didn't know who was behind the scenes. ,Right?"

"... Half of it." Carl hesitated for a while, and took the note back:

"We killed all the thugs who wanted to kill you. We knew that they were a gang of mercenaries who lived near the port and made a living by catching slaves. We completely eradicated them and also figured out who the murderer was behind the scenes. Speaker Rhodes."

"They recruited?" Anson was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's not; we didn't ask, they said it themselves, as if they thought they would be shot to death if they recruited this." Carl shrugged:

"Harold gave the gang an investment of 8,000 gold coins - of course they won't get the balance - plus a variety of weapons that can arm at least one company, and it is said that there is even an old cannon to assassinate. you."

"As to how they knew you were in that tavern no one knows, but that doesn't matter, so that's actually good news."

"Oh?"

Anson raised his eyebrows: "What's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that Speaker Harold is gone, and we don't know where he is."
