I Will Be The Crowned King

The smoke cleared and the sun rose.

The new morning sun jumped out of the horizon, dyeing the calm sea and a messy battlefield with the golden light of dawn, and also drew the curtain for the **** battle of Reef Town that lasted all night.

The battle is over.

If the general offensive launched by the coalition relying on the crushing force only made Tasien and his soldiers fall into despair, then the artillery fire from the sea was the last straw that destroyed their morale and confidence.

A well-organized infantry regiment was blown up on the spot, and the flying sand was accompanied by various fragments, and the defenders of the entire rear line were simply buried alive, "by the way" for the coalition forces who were struggling to find the direction of the attack. level the road.

When Tashion was dug out of the sand by the messenger and several knight officers, he was covered in blood and was almost dying; while the soldiers around him were not so lucky, they had already changed while being buried alive. became a corpse.

The dazed fleet commander sat on the moat, and it took a quarter of an hour before he finally regained his senses; the first thing he did after sober was to order the surrender to the Clovis.

The impact of the Hantu Fleet's "betrayal" not only added dozens of naval guns to the enemy, but also destroyed the fleet's last hope of breaking through.

Tashion's original plan was to break out of Reef Town, and then find a way to contact the "forced surrender" fleet to take him to the port of Carindia, and join the advance army that controlled there.

However, the sailors and imperial soldiers of the fleet, who had high hopes for him, presented the Clovis with a round of artillery bombardment, showing that as long as the coalition forces let them go, they would not mind bombing their own people and their officers together. God.

What Tasien didn't know was that he couldn't stand the "infantry and artillery coordination" of the coalition forces. The imperial defenders who were attacked on both sides had already laid down their weapons and became the prisoners of the Storm Division; when he made up his mind to surrender At that time, in fact, he was already a "bare commander" with only messengers and a few knight officers by his side.

Facing the dazzling morning sun, wrapped in bandages, Tasien with a numb expression sat in the tent "specially" prepared for him by the storm division, looking at the Reef Town battlefield not far away.

The surrendered Imperial Line soldiers were tied with ropes like prisoners and slaves, kneeling down on the edge of the trench, and the military flags under their feet were randomly piled together like wood stacks;

The coalition of Thun and Aiden was busy cleaning the battlefield, cheering, quarreling, and even scrambling for one or two trophies dug out of the mud pit and picked from the corpse; the soldiers of the Storm Division beside them Then they patrolled back and forth among the corpses with their rifles, checking their results;

The knights stood in a line outside a tent wearing single clothes, holding their guns and saber in their arms, and walked into the tent one by one, with a solemn and polite attitude... As if they were not surrendering, but participating in a noble battle. prom;

As for the fleet moored on the sea in the distance, Tasien didn't even know when they raised the Clovis flag, let alone why the "Empire" Hutu fleet still had the blood of Clovis. Unicorn banner.

It happened so suddenly and so shockingly that the extremely tired Tashion seriously suspected that he was actually still in a coma, and everything in front of him was just a nightmare.

This kind of trance was so strong that when Fabian walked into the tent, Tashion once regarded him as Bernard, the deputy commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and was surprised in his subconscious how this guy was so young.

"Map, paper, pen."

The expressionless former Guards officer stood in front of him and spread the things in his arms on the table between the two: "Lord Tasien, you have half an hour to write all the information you know. on this."

"The number of troops, the organization and designation of the troops, the name of the commander, the logistics route, the attack plan... It doesn't matter if you lie or be ambiguous, write as much as you know."

The Fleet Commander's face suddenly sank.

"I... Tashine Elfon, a dignified imperial knight, the lord of Far View Castle, is the commander of the vast expedition fleet appointed by His Majesty."

Resisting the anger in his heart, Tasien raised his chin slightly, and his icy eyes met Fabian's eyes: "As a noble knight, I am qualified to refuse to answer all your questions, and enjoy the The treatment you deserve as a prisoner—what about your commander, why didn’t he come to see me?!”

"Deputy Commander Anson Bach is too busy right now to take care of such trivial matters as the interrogation of prisoners, so I, the small commander of the grenadier, will do it for me."

Fabian's tone was as calm as always, he took a bottle of wine and a glass in a hurry, poured the wine and said solemnly: "And we have... and only one request from you, and the answer can be answered. ."

"As for whether to answer or not, be honest or lie... that's your right."

"Really?" Tashien sneered, and the corner of his raised mouth pulled at the wound, so that his smile looked a little grim:

"Then if I refuse to answer, what are you going to do... kill me?"

"of course not."

Fabian held up the wine glass on the table with an expressionless face, and at the moment when Tasien thought he was going to hand it to him and reached out to take it, the Grenadier Commander drank the wine in one gulp.

"I just said that it is your right to answer or not to answer."

Gently licking the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, Fabian calmly put the glass back in its original position, and the almost transparent glass reflected Tasien's increasingly ugly expression:

"You are the captive of the deputy commander. We are obliged to ensure your safety before your family pays the ransom; it is my responsibility as the grenadier commander to ensure that we can get the necessary information from you... It has nothing to do with you."

"Oh?" Tashien smiled even more ugly:

"How do you make sure?"

"Of course, please tell the truth."

Fabian's calm face showed a gentle smile, and poured another glass of wine: "In fact, even if you don't speak, we have other channels to get most of the information of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, more detailed information, your subordinates. They'll tell us... so I personally want you to be honest."

"After all, if it is possible, I still hope that I can be a devout believer who will never frame and slander others."

Religious ... believers who do not hook and slander people?

"What do you want to do?!"

Tasheen suddenly became nervous.

"In the previous War of the Far Lands, we have encountered more than one attack by the old **** spellcasters; some of them were Ysir elves - you probably know this too - some are real human beings."

Fabian smiled and said, "Elega Visania, the former Archduke Mist and a real spellcaster, are now the guests of the Deputy Commander, just like you."

"We supported his son to become the new Grand Duke of Mist, and promised him that the future territory of the Grand Duchy of Mist would still belong to the Visenia family; in exchange for..."

"You want him to frame... I'm an old god?!"

Tashion's excited growl echoed in the tent.

The smiling Fabian didn't answer his question, he sat down slowly, pushed the glass full of wine to the frightened Tasien, and placed the pen horizontally on the map:

"As a responsible grenadier regiment commander, I sincerely hope that you can cooperate with my work, so that I can successfully complete the task assigned by the deputy commander-to be honest, I actually like this job now. Yes, before Ansen Bach was ousted, there was no idea of ​​changing jobs for the time being."

"As for the consequences of your non-cooperation? Hehe, it's nothing. I have no right to use any penalty against you, and I will never pose any threat to your personal safety; as for means other than health and personal safety..."

"...as you can imagine."

………………

When the blue veins were exposed and the cold sweat on his forehead Tashien picked up the pen tremblingly, Anson and Karl were counting the biggest gains of the battle together.

That is the vast soil fleet.

Two sank to the bottom, one—the most valuable three-masted cruiser—the flagship soared, three were badly burned, and the remaining eleven ships were repaired and repaired, still able to take at least two thousand soldiers, dozens of The naval guns and the supply of two or three infantry regiments for a month were placed on any corner of the Hantu coastline.

Big money...in every sense.

This not only means that the empire's tentacles that can reach the hinterland of the vast land at any time have been cut off, but at the same time, it has mastered a powerful sea surface maneuvering force - it is a real comeback!

Without the fleet, the Imperial Army occupying the port of Carindia becomes a lone army without support and supplies, and the Imperial Expeditionary Force, which is currently storming the fortress of Aiden, can no longer fight on two fronts, threatening the "300,000 army" of Hantu. supply line.

what does that mean?

It means that if the advance army of Carindia Port is annihilated again, the Empire will have no means of interfering with Han soil except for a frontal attack!

Under such circumstances, unless a decisive battle can be used to annihilate the most elite main army in Hantu, the troops that the empire can send to Hantu will absolutely not be able to change the current situation.

In fact, this is also the way the southern legion invaded the Elven Kingdom of Iser... Using the method of encircling the point to force the opponent to send the elite main legion to support, and then organize a battle to annihilate it, and then take advantage of the situation to launch a full-scale invasion.

Although Louis Bernard used himself as a bait, the battle of Eagle Point City did not actually achieve the ideal result, but it was at most a "little" small mistake... If there was no 13th Council that suddenly revealed itself, At least Ludwig is already besieging the royal court of the Elf King Iser.

To save others by himself, Anson speculates that the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Expeditionary Force is probably planning a decisive battle; and his wishful thinking should be to cut off the supply line of Hantu's "300,000 army" before the battle begins.

"So you plan to rely on this fleet to take down the port of Carindia?"

Standing on the deck, Karl, who was smoking a cigarette, looked at the Carindian sailor who was tied into a dumpling and said.

"Well, when you have dug up all the materials that can be dug out of Commander Tasien, hand over the fleet to Fabian and let him take the grenadier regiment to attack the port."

Anson, with his hands in his pockets, nodded lightly, with a smug look on his face: "The remaining infantry regiments, I will bring them to cooperate with Leno Emmanuel, and attack the city separately."

"You mean the heir to the Duchy of Aiden?"

"Yes, Claude I allocated him a legion of almost 10,000 people, plus a total of 30,000 people on our side, to win the Port of Carindia." Anson nodded:

"After all, the Port of Carindia has been promised to the Emmanuel family, so I have to show something."

According to the plan that the "Supreme Staff Department" did its best to come up with, the "300,000-strong army" of Hantu would go to reinforce the border one after another to resist the invasion of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

In a sense, Claude Francois, who has just been crowned, actually has the idea of ​​fighting a decisive battle - after all, he is now not only the grand duke of Thun, but also the king of the whole land. Perhaps he still wished to avoid letting the Empire's armies enter the Far Lands.

But on the other hand, he also had to plan for some "worst-case" scenarios. Even if he didn't want to cede the port of Carindia to the Emmanuel family, he couldn't let an imperial army get so close to Han The hinterland~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can directly threaten the important logistics base of Iron Bell Fort.

Therefore, despite 10,000 reluctance, Claude still gritted his teeth and allocated 10,000 line privates equipped with Leiden front armor to Leno Emmanuel, and then let the "foreign mercenaries" of the Storm Division cooperate, Retake the Port of Carindia.

Of course, the real wishful thinking of the King of the Earth was to let the Storm Division pursue the fleet, and Leno, who could not wait for reinforcements, was unable to launch an attack; in this way, as long as the war was tense, he could justifiably pull the Storm Division. Go to the western battlefield, which is closer to him, and throw the "elite" Storm Division into the decisive battle against the main force of the Empire.

But it is a pity that he estimated wrong Anson's efficiency, or overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Fleet. It was originally expected to take at least a week-because it would take a lot of time just to confirm the landing position of the fleet-to end the battle, and finally It only took one night, and even the people and the fleet were all captured.

"And then there's you."

"Me?" Carl was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "What's the matter with my adjutant?"

"What adjutant, is the chief of staff." Anson emphasized:

"You go now and report to Claude Francois's barracks."

"why?"

"Because this time is different from Eagle Point City - we have no confidence to lose, even if we win half, we must win a big victory." Anson looked at Carl Bain with a solemn expression:

"But I can't trust Claude Francois and the others - I can't control whether the land is dead or alive, and I don't want to, but in any case at least they can't die now, so I want you to promise me that no matter what happens, Bring back this '300,000 army'."

"The only one I can trust is you."
