I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 164: Commitment

"I will be crowned king (!

Just as Anson and the Storm Division were immersed in the "happy troubles" after the victory, Bernard Morwes, who still did not know who he was defeated by, was leading a group of defeated soldiers to retreat along the established route.

There is actually a certain ambiguity in saying this, because since the attack on Heijiao Harbor, this elite division has not considered the matter of "retreat", and naturally there is no so-called "retreat route".

In the original "script" of the Colonial Chief Minister, it would take him about ten to twenty days to capture the Black Reef Harbor. This is not only because the opponent's resistance is tenacious, but also because of the siege to increase his control over the army. By the way Establish a complete logistics chain.

If you want to use these two as the judging criteria, the siege of Black Reef Port Bernard not only did not fail, it can even be said to be very successful - more than half of the anti-insurgent army that was originally alienated from Germany has surrendered, the logistics supply line has also been successfully completed, and the smooth roads and The large and small transshipment warehouses along the way are enough to support the army of 5,000 people to march normally in the area from Yangfan City to Heijiao Port.

As for the cuirassier battalion commander Ser Sardo who "run away" and the two infantry regiments he took away... Unless they are intended to become bandits and fugitives wanted by the Empire, deprived of their titles and all privileges, they can only be obedient. He took the initiative to come to the door and knelt down to beg for mercy to the minister in charge.

It only took half a month to complete the things of a normal few months, and the previous Bernard could simply go crazy with excitement.

But now he can't laugh at all.

Along the road that he had spent countless efforts to repair and level, the colony chief minister, who was covered in dust, leaned on a saber, and walked breathlessly among this team that was 10,000 times more sloppy than him.

The soldiers around him also had numb expressions, dull eyes, and expressions of hunger and exhaustion that could not be concealed on their faces; apart from the mechanical strides, even breathing seemed to be superfluous.

In order to retreat as soon as possible to avoid being overtaken by Clovis' pursuers, Bernard had to abandon most of the baggage and use the only stored energy to consign cannons and ammunition - in a new world where industrial power is almost zero , they are worth even more than well-trained soldiers.

However, even if the cargo is allocated to the arms, the few remaining supplies still need to maintain more than half of the hussar regiment; in order to save the physical strength of the horses, all cavalry except those with reconnaissance tasks are not allowed to march on horseback, nor Brigadier General's equipment on the saddle.

In this regard, Bernard even set an example by "sending" his mount to the hussar regiment commander who had not betrayed him, which greatly won over the military hearts of the hussars who had been elusive.

So the hungry hussars could only carry a full set of equipment and walk between the queues with their light "partners", occasionally taking out eggs, apples and carrots under the gaze of countless pairs of green eyes, swallowing saliva into the horse's mouth.

Although they were equally hungry, the cavalrymen were still vigilant against the "comrades" around them at all times... There were already quite a few guys who were so hungry that they lost their minds trying to steal precious feed, and even paid attention to the war horses.

If it weren't for the fact that the road beneath them was fairly smooth, and Grey Pigeon Castle was already in sight, even if the soldiers did not mutiny, these precious camel beasts and mounts would have been lost long ago.

"Lord Bernard!"

Suddenly, a tired but very loud voice sounded in the queue, breaking the numb silence: "Good news, the scout reported that a small colonial settlement was found less than two kilometers in front of the team! "

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who were still in the mechanical marching army stopped tacitly, and they all stared at the figure of the minister in charge from the corner of their eyes.

A look of helplessness flashed in the corner of Bernard's eyes, frowning slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, looking at the ecstatic messenger:

"Be clear, what did the messenger see?"

"A colonial settlement!"

"Just a colonial settlement?"

"Uh……"

The herald was suddenly stunned, and there was a blank application in his expression.

"I'm asking you, what exactly did the scout see!"

Bernard suddenly became impatient, and said loudly: "What did they find?"

"Found a settlement - not aboriginal, but colonizer!"

"I know it's a colony's settlement. I'll ask you again. It's just a settlement. Is it just a settlement...?!"

"That's really just a..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

The herald, who opened his mouth and widened his eyes, took a deep breath, quickly turned over and dismounted as if he had suddenly changed his personality, and quickly stepped forward to give a military salute to the minister in charge:

"Report to the chief minister, the scouts found a small fortress controlled by the liberals two kilometers ahead, disguised as an ordinary colonial settlement - please give instructions!"

"I don't have any instructions!"

Secretly relieved, Bernard said righteously: "But since it is the base of the liberal traitors, it proves that in addition to this fortress, there must be a large number of strongholds controlled by them nearby; for the prosperity and stability of the empire, it must be eliminated! "

"But until then, warriors of the Empire—forward!"

"go ahead--!!!!"

In the endless wilderness, the cheers of joyful cheers galloped like a torrent.

………………

Black Reef Harbor, Interim Command.

Talia was still relentless after all.

When Ansen ate all the food on the plate "unfinished" and "looked forward" to the remaining four dishes, he waited for a surprise that he didn't expect:

Fresh and tender roasted venison and buttery fried potato fries with a light charred aroma, paired with a delicious truffle sauce, not only fills the portion but also makes you appetizing.

Then there are two colonial-style egg and hash browns, red vegetable soup with attractive color, clear pickled cabbage and pickled cucumber slices, soft and sweet jujube puree pumpkin... Simple, warm, and down-to-earth.

Dessert was a rectangular rum cake in the shape of the "Ring of Primordial" using a red and sour wild fruit native to Black Reef Harbor.

This unexpected joy moved An Sen to the extreme, and even the corners of his eyes became moist while eating, a feeling of longing and belief in the Three Old Gods became stronger and stronger.

Of course, this does not affect the fact that he is also a devout believer of the Ring of Order - faith is like clothes to him, and every piece needs to be cherished and loved; wear it when you need it, and put it in the closet when you don't need it. inside.

At 10:30, I enjoyed the perfect meal and let Lisa Ann sleep peacefully. She lit a kerosene lamp and sat down at the table in front of the window of Anson's bedroom; Talia, who was on the side, silently stepped forward and put it down beside the lamp for a while. Glass of dark rum.

The dim yellow light left a deep long shadow on the cup, shaking slightly with the moonlight in the cup.

Taking advantage of their rare leisure, the two seemed to be like real fiancées and talked about what happened to them after they separated; Anson briefly explained why he suddenly went south, and how he was with the loyal Alexei. With his help, he took control of the Black Reef Harbor Council and the army.

The information shared by Talia in the rear is obviously more interesting... Probably because of the attack on Winter Torch City and the information brought back by the refugees from Black Reef Harbor, some guys in the Confederacy who did not intend to form a coalition were stimulated. The process went exceptionally well and far exceeded expectations.

Especially in Changhu Town, where the rebellious mood was the most serious before, 3,600 fully armed young laborers were assembled to go to Red Hand Bay - this was after being sacked by the Storm Division - the commander was the one who had previously worked with Fabian. Joseph, the militia commander who worked with him.

Even in the city of Winter Torch, which was severely damaged during the attack, 2,000 militiamen were assembled with their teeth; these are of different ages, but without exception, they have all participated in the colonial activities of the northward expedition, and they are all experienced adventures. By.

As the host, Red Hand Bay has assembled 6,000 young and strong laborers. Although only half of them are armed, it is very rare to have an additional 600 riders. The rest are almost all excellent porters, coachmen, and even They all know a little bit of civil engineering, and their level is not inferior to that of professional engineers.

Not only that, Bishop Ruiper, who is the Alliance of the Faithful, also made a special trip to Red Hand Bay to hold a "blessing" ceremony for the army.

Tens of thousands of people at the scene, including representatives of the top Confederates and representatives of the respective self-governing parliaments, publicly expressed their participation in the alliance and continued to expand this religious organization that was already secretly controlled by the Rune family.

The leader of Grey Pigeon Castle, Paulina, who was "strongly supported" by Anson, knelt down directly at the blessing scene, crying loudly, announcing that the empire and the church were the "nightmare" of the new world, and the only one who could save the new world and save the new world. The spiritual pillar of thousands of colonists and new immigrants in the sea of ​​misery.

The Universalist, the Declaration of Rebellion, the Supreme Council—in her eloquent cries, these three are the three pillars of the Confederacy's existence, and only one can firmly establish them for the now weak Confederation.

Yes, that man was Anson Bach.

When Talia said these words meaningfully, Anson, who pretended to be calm, couldn't help shivering.

This is not the most important thing... The representative of the Northern Chamber of Commerce, Reinhard Roland, who was supposed to visit factories and mines in Beluga Harbor, has also appeared in Red Hand Bay for some unknown reason.

For the "traitor" Free Confederation that was acting with the Empire, the representative not only showed no anger, but also showed great interest - especially when he found out that the Red Hand Bay militia had a Leyton rifle, This interest is even stronger.

"You mean...he wants to know when we're going to attack Sail City?"

Gently sipping the black rum, Anson asked with interest.

"That's right."

The girl nodded slightly, and the corners of his raised mouth were reflected in her pupils:

"Informants from the newspaper and the Trustworthy Alliance told me that he took the initiative or guided him more than once, and wanted to know when we would attack Yangfan City, and very much hoped to see you before then... My dear Anson."

"See me? Doesn't he know who the real ruler of Beluga Port is?"

"No, Talia thinks he should be very clear about who is the real ruler of Beluga Harbor... or even the entire Ice Dragon Fjord." The girl smiled meaningfully:

"So he very much hopes to meet before Anson attacks Sail City to discuss matters about the Coal Bank, especially the share of the Northern Chamber of Commerce in it."

"Out of trust in Anson, Talia has notified him in advance to leave, and came to Black Reef Harbor with the Confederate Army... Without prior notice, Anson wouldn't blame Talia?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Without the slightest hesitation, An Sen immediately smiled and waved his hand with a very relaxed and casual tone: "This is just right, we will return to Beluga Port and discuss with him about bank shares and investment."

"Really?" The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, still smiling:

"Don't you think Talia is causing trouble?"

"Of course not!"

Anson emphasized it again, and tidied up his clothes and sat up straight, saying that he was serious: "Because from the beginning, I never thought about attacking Yangfan City."

"……Ugh?"

The girl was stunned at this moment, and blinked her eyes in surprise: "An Sen... Don't you plan to attack Yangfan City?"

"That's right, uh... To be more precise, I might try to attack the Lower Grey Dove Castle, but if the opponent is fully prepared, I don't plan to storm that inland fortress."

An Sen took out his pipe from his arms, and with his right hand "snapped!" he lit a cigarette with a [Gathering Flame], and took a deep breath:

"As for Yangfan City... Whether it is a fortress or a large city, it is a goal that requires at least 20,000 soldiers to gather, and four warships to blockade from both land and sea at the same time. It will take more than half a year to conquer the target."

"Of course, this is only a normal situation - similar to the royal court of the Iser elf, the Eaglehorn City and the Iron Bell Fort in the vast land, all are under extremely special circumstances, and countless preconditions are met. fell in a short period of time.”

"In addition, the liberals in Yangfan City have long been killed, and there is no object to fight against it on the battlefield; with the readiness of the Confederacy and the poor infrastructure construction in the New World, there is no way to conquer such a large city with heavy troops. Ability."

In this regard, Anson and Bernard are strongly aligned, that is, unless there are local reinforcements, the army of the New World cannot be capable of sieging large fortresses and long-distance expeditions, nor can they afford the cost.

But what Bernard didn't expect was that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Anson would really risk the loss of half of the Storm Division and the risk of being captured alive in order to defend the bridgehead of Black Reef Harbor—until the advance army occupied the position. Before the gap, he always regarded this as a means for the Clovis people to invite people's hearts.

"But in Anson's plan, isn't it necessary to end the battle before winter and completely drive the empire's forces out of the new world?" Talia couldn't help asking:

"If you don't capture Yangfan City, how can you realize this plan?"

"It's very simple, just let them capture themselves." The curvature of Anson's mouth became more and more obvious:

"The fall of Sail City has entered the countdown - well, if some guys keep their promises."
