I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 3 Chapter 115: Step 3

The information about the 20,000-strong army Chen Bing's border and the imminent invasion of Hantu did not cause any trouble at the military meeting of the Storm Division.

The reason is very simple - Anson had already talked about it at the meeting two days ago, on the day the Empire landed at Port Carindia; so Lenore's "bad news" just proved that "the deputy commander really has far-reaching vision. "That's all, the storm division has long been numb to this.

As for what to do? They are not worried about this, or it is useless to say that worrying is useless; there are only 5,000 storm divisions, and there is no need for the empire to send 20,000 legions to face head-to-head.

Since it is a conscripted corps, they must have the consciousness of the conscripted corps; on the battlefield of Hantu, they can ravage the stinky fish and rotten shrimp of the Seven City Alliance; result.

This is the storm division, and it is also the common concept of all Clovis levies. If you win, you will go forward, and if you lose, you will be scattered. As long as Anson Bach is still paid on time, he will continue to "generate income" with everyone, without showing obvious defeat. In fact, they don't care about superfluous things, and they don't care.

All they had to do was execute perfectly — or at a discount — Anson's orders.

It was Anson's job to win, and they wouldn't hesitate for a second when it was time to raise the white flag.

Such a calm atmosphere made Leno, who hurriedly came to report, both at ease and nervous.

The peace of mind is that everything is planned, and there is nothing to worry about; since Anson Bach is still sitting here, it means that he must have a way to deal with the empire's pincer attack.

The tension is also for the same reason... Since everything was planned, conversely, he guessed the Principality of Aiden from the beginning, and his father might join the Empire and betray Clovis.

That being the case, if he had not restrained his impulse and chose to force his way into the room, or secretly led the Aiden Legion out of Iron Bell Castle, then...

Reno Emmanuel couldn't help shivering.

On the contrary, it was little Leon's information that really surprised Anson; it wasn't because the Count of Arkad didn't stand still--it wasn't surprising to him--but the Grand Duke Claude-François actually set up three shots on the Eagle's Point Pass. Wan Dajun.

And it's not "there", it's an army of 30,000 who "has been assembled", "well-trained" and "ready to start".

What does 30,000 troops that can be drawn at any time mean?

It means that each soldier carries weapons, ammunition and rations for at least two to six days. The barracks warehouse stores back baggage that can be supplied for at least thirty days, and is very close to the supply station, which can quickly establish stability. supply line.

This... how to say?

Archduke Quartune is really looking like a torch. Or was he so unconfident in his allies that he was even ready to guard Eagle Point for Clovis?

No matter which one, since Grand Duke Thun has made such careful preparations, he is definitely willing to send troops; after all, assembling an army of 30,000 people will do nothing, and the daily expenses alone are terrifying.

The crux of the issue is the price - the Francois family is not a charity, betting half of the army to rescue the southern legion and invade Iser, the Clovis will definitely pay the price.

Not only the François family, but also Emmanuel who ruled Aiden, and Visenia who ruled Mist—if you want to defeat the Empire, the five thousand Stormtroopers alone are not enough to fill the trenches. Only when the entire vast land is fully mobilized can it be qualified to fight the empire.

The problem is that although these forces are Clovis's vassals and allies, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers and wants to mobilize them to fight against the empire, relying on the "unification of the vast land" alone... The only one who is hooked is little Leon. One.

After months of war, Hantu nobles have become more and more aware of the gap between them and world powers, and their mentality is similar to that of small entrepreneurs who have been poorly managed and lack capital; , they care more about the more practical.

These people only need the logistics department, they need guns and ammunition, if they are defeated, they need to be replenished, and if they win, they need to be rewarded... Anson can't give them.

The only thing Anson could give was an empty promise, plus real gold and silver engraved with the Ring of Order logo—or at least a white bar that symbolized real gold and silver plus a promise.

As a poor and two white (referring to the gap with the Franz family), ordinary (not a thousand-year-old family), young and promising (twenty-three years old, is the deputy commander) young officer, Anson is very prepared to accept All the white papers that come down will be recorded in the account of the archbishop's own son.

So in the emotional stability of the storm division officer, Renault's panic, and little Leon's full of worries, another military meeting ended with everyone's applause.

………………

"So what are you going to do?"

As soon as the officers went out, Carl Bain couldn't help but speak: "Listen to what you mean, don't you plan to run away immediately if the situation is wrong?"

This kind of question is asked suddenly, not because the chief of staff who has been blamed for ten thousand years has suddenly become "loyal", but because the entire Storm Division has fallen too deep in this war.

If at first they just wanted to make money in the vast land, then with the setback of the main force of the southern legion, the storm division, which was not important at all, and no one cared about it, has become a Clovis unknowingly. A "key force" in the southern battlefield.

In other words, what they are doing is no longer a petty business, but a bigger picture of the entire Clovis Kingdom and the empire's struggle for hegemony; the two countries that are at a standoff on the western frontier are most likely to be ignored by everyone. Hantu broke the balance.

Carl Bain panicked.

It's not that he is afraid of the empire's army, but he suddenly finds that he, and the scumbags around him and his subordinates, suddenly become important.

This veteran, who has always been aiming to make money and taking the blame for his career, is good at picking up dregs for others, and earning extra money by smuggling... The soldier, for the first time, felt what "heavy responsibility is on his shoulders" and what is "mission".

Then he found that he didn't want these things that made him jealous at all, but when it was his turn, he seemed to have to accept it again.

So he was suddenly very worried, worried that his deputy commander still had the same idea as before-according to his theory of "living is everything, everything is for making money", and now the best way to meet the interests of the storm division, That is, the entire line of arms retreated to Eagle Horn City and threw the han soil to the empire.

After all, the oil and water that can be fished is almost enough, and no amount of storm divisions can eat it; retreating to Eagle Point City can not only cover the southern legion, but also avoid the encirclement of the empire.

As for the price...don't think about it, the vast land will definitely fall to the empire in an all-round way, and the Yisel elves can get unlimited support from the direction of the vast land, and this battle is lost for Clovis.

The storm division, it is very likely that he will become the one who bears the blame.

It doesn't matter if it was in the past, after all, not once or twice, he, Carl Bain, has long been used to it; good things will never come to him, and he has spent half his life watching others glorify his own suffering.

But this time is different, this time... This time is really, really different!

They won - 2,000 people conquered Eagle Point City, and 5,000 people took down the entire vast land... In just a few months, the storm division needs people, equipment and equipment, and materials and materials... As wide as a regular army.

During the siege of the Iron Bell Fort, the plan he made with his own hands was enough to mobilize dozens of artillery pieces, nearly a thousand cavalry, and 20,000 troops to fight at the same time—and just half a year ago, Carl Bain was still a man who sold guns for supplies. There was only one and a half company captains in hand.

This time, they can use the black pot;

This time, they have the capital to fight a powerful enemy;

This time, they can be the heroes who can turn the tide.

"So, who said I was going to run away?"

An Sen smiled at the frightened chief of staff with a playful look on his face: "Besides, is the situation really bad now?"

"Um?"

A question mark appeared in Carl Bain's head.

"Seriously, even if the empire didn't invade, I would find a way to make them 'invade'." Anson rested his shoulders and elbows on the table, shrunk his neck and looked at Carl:

"Now they're taking the initiative to attack Hantu, actually... it's a good thing, really."

"A good thing?" Carl was stunned.

Anson nodded: "Yes."

"what do you mean……"

"If the empire doesn't come, don't we have to obey Ludwig's orders?" Anson looked at him meaningfully:

"If the empire doesn't come, how can I justifiably become the 'real' deputy commander of the Southern Legion?"

"If the empire doesn't come, won't we always be a conscription that will be disbanded at any time and no one cares?"

The meeting room suddenly fell silent.

In the dead silence, there was only Anson's voice.

"When I was in Eagle Point City, I said that I figured it out and wanted to be the leader of the battle between Clovis and Iser." Anson looked at Carl in front of him very calmly, and the other side never dared to make a sound. Fabien and the little clerk:

"The first step is to conquer Eagle Horn City with your own hands."

"The second step is to get rid of Ludwig Franz and conquer the vast land alone."

"Now... I'm going to take the third and most important step - turning the battle between Clovis and Iser into a battle between Clovis and the Empire!"

"Ludwig didn't understand one thing from the very beginning, that is, if this battle was with the Iser elf, or with the addition of a vast soil, it would never get the real attention of the upper echelons of the kingdom."

"The reason is very simple, they don't care - in the eyes of those people, as long as Clovis is serious, it is a matter of course to crush a small Iser elf; only by defeating the empire head-on can it be a victory to turn the tide and make a sensation. The whole kingdom!"

"So I know that the empire will definitely invade the vast land. Even if they don't do it, I will try my best to lure them to attack - because this is the only way."

"any solution?"

The little secretary in the corner couldn't help but speak, his tender voice trembling slightly.

"The way to win." Anson replied in a very affirmative tone:

"We don't have that advantage when we take the initiative to attack the Empire—don't look at the fact that we conquered the Iron Bell Fortress in just one day; the border fortress of the Empire, the regular army on the western front has not attacked a single protrusion for half a year; The moat should be considered too little."

"So if you want to win, you must take the initiative to bring them in and fight in our home field; this will also facilitate the assembly of superior troops and the deployment of materials."

Home game... Carl Bain thought for a while: "That's why you have to occupy the entire vast land, even if you want to spare the Grand Duchy of Mist?"

"In a way, yes." Anson nodded:

"The Army and the Privy Council definitely didn't expect that the Empire had already planned to attack and conquer the vast land, and they never imagined that we could conquer the entire land with only 5,000 people on our own; of course, we didn't actually conquer the entire land, either. But that's not the point!"

"The point is! Now there is a window of opportunity, before the Army and the Privy Council react, we will have a chance to be the savior who can turn the tide, and at the same time be able to lead the battle without the interference of the Army ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ empire."

"As long as we can win... we don't even need to win at all. As long as we don't collapse at the touch of a button and resist the empire's offensive, it will be our victory!" An Sen said more and more excitedly:

"Think about it, the tens of thousands of troops carefully prepared by the empire were blocked by a mere five kilograms of Lowe's levies in Hantu - even if they were tied, they would have lost a lot!"

Carl Bain thought about it seriously, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"The most important thing now is to maintain our unbreakable alliance with Hantu!"

Anson said sternly: "The life and death of Grand Duke Mist is now completely in our hands, so we can basically ignore it; Grand Duke Thun, Claude Francois, the 60,000 army in his hands is the key to the next battle, but the picture En was already tied to Clovis' chariot, so don't worry."

"In the end, it's Duke Aiden - I need an excellent scout, the kind that can be placed next to Duke Aiden." Anson turned to look at Fabian: "Anyone you can recommend?"

"The kind that ensures that Duke Aiden will not betray us?" asked the former Guards officer.

"No." Anson shook his head:

"It's the kind that makes Duke Aiden believe that we absolutely trust him not to betray us."

"If so, I have a very suitable candidate."

Fabian thought for a while and then added: "Jason Fruhoff, a lieutenant in the army, has a good personality but is stunned. He has rich combat experience and once served in the fortress in the east. He was born in a small nobleman, so he knows nobility. That set, it should be no problem to send him there."

"Oh, so what did he do?"

"Your cavalry company commander."
