I Will Be The Crowned King

To the west of the turbulent sea, in the area of ​​Shuangya Mountain, the city of sailing.

The multi-day storm swept through almost all the imperial colonies along the coast; the colonists living in this generation have just survived a severe winter ruled by floods and shipwrecks.

But even if it finally survived the most difficult "winter tide" of the year in Shuangya Mountain, the dome shrouded in dark clouds is still bleak, and the air is always filled with the smell of musty and rotten, and the damp cold wind takes away The last trace of temperature in the world.

Facing the faint, pure white morning light, the young knight walked out of the church and looked at the open plain at the foot of the mountain outside the city, with a hint of worry in his blue pupils.

There used to be a fertile wilderness. After more than 130 years, the original lush virgin forest has been gradually developed into a large and fertile plantation with the continuous pioneering efforts of batches of colonists, rich in cabbage. , beetroot, potatoes, carrots…

It is precisely relying on the agricultural products provided by these plantations, as well as the local materials that have been continuously transported to the port across the sea, to build Yangfan City into a bridgehead for the imperial colonists to advance to the new world, and use this as a base camp to continue to more distant lands. Pioneer the land and develop a chain of satellite colonies.

At its peak, only one city, Yangfan City, provided 60% of the food rations and more than 80% of the daily necessities in the entire Shuangya Mountain area, helping many small colonies to survive the most difficult days in the early stage—— Like a dozen other large colonies.

But now... even standing in front of the church door several kilometers away, without a telescope, the young knight can see the scattered craters and ravines on the plain left by shells; Wild corpses.

No one could have imagined that a small disturbance that was originally just a few farms would eventually evolve into a collective rebellion of the entire imperial colony.

The original cause was because the plantation owners were too harsh on their slaves, or they kept too many "beast slaves" in order to maintain the economy of the plantations, which made these cowardly aborigines want to resist because of their numbers. , or both... are no longer important.

Due to the initial negligence, the best time to suppress the riots was missed - of course, whether it can be suppressed is another matter - after the first farm was overrun by the rioting "beast slaves", the surrounding plantations also One after another, thunderstorms began, and one by one, they fell quickly as if they were infected by a virus.

Whether or not this is really the case, no one knows, because no one cares about it at all—until a certain town was directly attacked by angry slave slaves, slaughtered and burned to the ground.

The colony's council finally realized that this was not a "little accident" that an "old rival" had bad luck and could take the opportunity to watch the fun, but a group vicious incident that might have killed his entire family. It's too late.

Facing the army of "beast slaves" that were several times his number and suspected of being mixed with casters from the Old God School, the small colony with only log walls and dozens of shotguns had little room for resistance.

And there are also a large number of "beast slaves" in the city, who are used to deal with domestic garbage and maintain the "low-level" work of urban sanitation... Under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, the rioting indigenous army outside the city effortlessly conquered this colonial town. town, and quickly spread the insurrection to all surrounding colonies.

Compared with the "newcomers" of Beluga Port, which was born only fifty years ago, the old imperial colonies have a more developed and mature slave trade than her, and rely on a steady stream of "cheap labor" to maintain production scale. , so that more immigrants can continue to explore the surrounding areas and open up new colonies.

This convenient and cash-based method of colonization enables the empire to expand its colonial scope faster and at the same time to be less dependent on the mainland; the "simple" Clovis people have only begun to try in recent years. This kind of practice - before, it was either kill them all or expel them.

Now, they have finally tasted the consequences of this "convenience".

Hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of "beast slaves" armies emerged out of nowhere, arson and looting, attacking settlements and farms, looting colonists' caravans, and ambushing slaves and servants who went out to reclaim the land. corps……

Over the years, they have been slaughtered, slaughtered, enslaved, and invaded the land where generations lived.

As if overnight, the colonists of the empire, who were still singing and dancing for the last second, realized in horror that they had been surrounded - inside and outside the gate, they were all "beast slaves" who wanted to smash their corpses into thousands of pieces. There is no escape.

Having said that, the imperial colonies were not unresponsive-after clearly realizing that the "beast slave" riot had begun to spread, the six largest colonies quickly made contact, and organized militia and mercenary groups to defend and counterattack, while Quickly get in touch with the mainland to get reinforcements.

Although the disparity in the "total military strength" between the two sides is despairingly large, on the one hand, these indigenous armies who resisted the colonizer's rule have no organization at all, nor any plan. Nothing is clear...a real rabble.

Although the army of the imperial colonists was small in number and had almost no morale, at least there was a minimum of organization, stable logistics and the goal of "defending the homeland", so that they would not be scattered in the face of the almost unarmed native population. .

At the same time, the Emperor of the Empire who received the news of the riots in the colony did not show any scorn. He quickly assembled an army and weapons capable of arming 20,000 people, and set off in February of the 100th year of the saint's calendar, and was transported by the imperial fleet to Longhu Town and Sail City.

Although the Empire is far from being as reliant on the colonies as Clovis, if the amount of taxes paid is a measure of loyalty to the emperor himself, the self-governing councils in the colonies may be above the prominent dukes in the empire.

Three months later, news came that the Iser Janissary Guard was nearly wiped out under Eagle Point City; Emperor Herid, who had planned to continue sending troops to the colony, had to temporarily turn his attention to the south.

However, the empire continued to reinforce the colonies with ten infantry regiments. Together with the local militia, scattered adventurers and small-scale mercenary regiments, there were a total of 30,000 to 40,000 people, nearly 100,000. Full army.

Although it is still far less than the rebellious "beast slaves", it is more than enough to suppress the rebellion.

In less than six months, this colonial army completely suppressed the rebellion of tens of thousands of "beast slaves"-although the opponent had a large number of spellcasters, but a group of mad believers whose fighting strength was similar to that of a street gang, In front of an organized and large-scale imperial army, it is impossible to burn all the jade and stone.

So almost at the same time as the news of the disastrous defeat of Hantu's Imperial Expeditionary Force came, the emperor also received the good news that "peace" had been restored to the colony.

But probably before His Majesty himself could come out of the shadow of the expeditionary army's fiasco, he received another letter from Yangfan City - the colony that had just restored "peace" broke out again in less than a month. rebellion.

It's just that the rebellion this time is slightly different from the previous one...

………………

"Red Hand Bay, Grey Pigeon Castle, Winter Torch City, Black Reef Harbor... Except for Yangfan City and Changhu Town, four of the six most important colonies of the empire have rebelled?!"

Inside the Beluga Port Command, Lieutenant Colonel Alexei, who had just returned from the **** mission, looked at the map on the table and blurted out in shock.

Not only him, but the officers present were stunned and speechless-although they had learned a lot of incredible things since meeting Anson Bach, the "perfection-seeking" superior, but this It's too unbelievable to return.

You know that although the New World seems to be really rich and fertile, it is also wild and full of beasts, diseases, ice fields, and elusive natives - the seemingly prosperity depends on the vacancies of necessities filled by local trade, and the steady flow of new Immigrants fill vacancies in the workforce and population.

According to Clovis statistics, every year at least 25 percent of New World immigrants go missing or die unexpectedly due to murder, cold, disease, or skirmishes, and 35 to 45 percent go missing. Will struggle with hunger, extreme poverty and malnutrition for about ten years and then die miserably.

Of the 100 new immigrants, no more than 30 people can really live in the colony for 20 years and have some savings.

And this is still under the premise of being able to trade smoothly with the mainland, without cotton textiles, sugar, salt, spirits, spices... The penniless colonists carrying a pile of leather, wood and coal, What are you going to do to get rich?

More importantly, who gave them the confidence that they could defeat the imperial army?

The officers stared at the map and the two letters brought back by the chief of staff, their cheeks with pipes and cheap cigarettes were filled with incredible writing, and their brows were almost frowned.

Amidst the exclamations one after another, Fabian, who was sitting beside him, was silent, thinking about the possible consequences of this incident; Carrying the minutes of the meeting.

Anson and Carl, who had seen the letterhead for a long time, looked at each other, waiting for each other to come up with an idea first.

"I have a question!"

Alexey raised his head sharply, and couldn't help but say, "Have they already rebelled, or are they about to rebel soon?"

The voice fell, and the eyes of the entire room turned to Carl Bain—including a certain His Excellency the commander-in-chief.

"Already betrayed." Rolling his eyes inwardly, Carl replied helplessly, "I guess your next question is why they defected, are they crazy?"

"No, the fact is quite the opposite. These colonial councils are very rational, which should be absolutely sufficient reasons, and only after serious contemplation did they make up their minds to raise a rebellion."

"What reason?"

"Rebellion is also death, and not rebelling is death - so why not give it a try, maybe it will succeed." Carl shrugged.

This answer, which sounded impeccable, did not resolve Alexei's question, but made the people present even more confused.

"Simply put, after a riot of natives and beast slaves, these colonies have suffered heavy losses, and some of them are even struggling to make ends meet.

"But at the same time, they have to continue to maintain an army of 30,000 to 40,000 people to continue to annihilate the remnants of the riots involved; and on top of this, like Clovis, the empire's own 'tax' on the colonies is the same. Quite a few, and even in order to make up for the shortfall in the war against Hantu, the amount has increased compared to last year."

"In order to solve this problem, the parliaments of the six colonies formed a lobby group to see if this year's tax can be reduced or exempted, or at least the deadline for payment was postponed; the tax collectors of the empire received them warmly, and then, uh..."

"Kill them all."

Carl Bain shrugged and said with a strange expression.

Um? !

The officers widened their eyes and looked astonished.

To be honest, when they just arrived at Beluga Port and found that the local forces were not very welcoming to them, many people did not have similar thoughts.

But on the one hand, Anson, as the commander-in-chief, has always maintained restraint. On the other hand, ideas are always ideas. As long as there is still talk, they do not intend to completely turn the storm division, which is barely an army, into a group of bandits who burn, kill and loot.

So what kind of stimulation did the person in charge of the empire get?

"After killing the lobbying group sent by the colonial parliament, the empire immediately mobilized the troops that were encircling and suppressing the riots to go everywhere to suppress ~www.novelmt.com~ Carl continued:

"But the colonies that have experienced more than a year of riots and wars of rebellion and rebellion already have their own armies and weapons-although they are only unprofessional militia and mercenaries. start to make a big difference;"

"Unless the Empire can completely suppress all colonies and maintain a sufficient number of troops there, it doesn't look like this rebellion will end quickly in the short term."

"Finally, the Empire has lost almost all of its colonies except for Long Lake Town and Sail City; and even these two places are not stable; just a few days ago, they just defeated a group outside Sail City. Rebels, the commander of the Empire is worried that there is an inmate in the Colonial Council, and would rather not enter the city easily in the rain on the wilderness - what's the problem?"

"I have a."

Fabian, who had always been silent before, suddenly said: "Who gave us the information about the empire's counter-insurgency army in the area of ​​Yangfan City, and what do they want to do?"

"It was given by the Red Hand Bay Council."

Before Carl could speak, Anson took over the topic:

"They want to take this opportunity to win over us, and then..."

"Capture Changhu Town!"
