The moist sea breeze blows the early morning haze, allowing the vibrant morning sun to shine on the beach, sweeping away the gloomy weather and the gloomy mood.

In a makeshift tent near the pier, Anson, wearing only a cardigan shirt on his upper body, sat on his luggage, using a large luggage box as a desk, opened a new page in his diary, and thought about it while playing with a pen. Side wrote:

"Dear (cross out this sentence, forget it and start a new one)...Dear Miss Sophia:

"Forgive me for taking so long to write this letter to you. In the past few decades, I have been busy contacting the alliance, rushing to deal with unexpected encounters under various circumstances, and the reconstruction of post-war disaster areas. I really have no time for him. Gu, I neglected to greet Haihan..."

"Regarding the situation of the Han soil war, you must have learned about the news through the newspapers and the Franz family - the Imperial Expeditionary Force launched an attack from land and sea at the same time, and their purpose should be to prevent the Han soil and Clovis from forming an alliance , and meddling in the Isir war that has escalated from a local war to a 'punishment of heresy'."

"With your full assistance, the blessing of the Ring of Order, and my own 'little' effort, your loyal Stormtroopers have recaptured the Port of Carindia from the Empire, defeated and captured the Empire Hutu Fleet."

"Next, we will join up with the '300,000 Great Earth Army' and start the final battle in the Aiden area, completely smashing the empire's ambition to interfere with the Great Earth and even strategically surround the Kingdom of Clovis!"

"So no matter whether this war is won or lost, as long as the blood-colored unicorn flag is flying on the battlefield against the front line of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, it will become the Storm Division to get rid of the 'Southern Legion'... Your brother, my dear boss Luther The key to Major General Vichy Franz's shackles - to replace the Army of the South as the brightest star of the war."

"But... victory on the battlefield is not enough, or even secondary; the real battlefield is not in the land, but in the city of Clovis."

"Whether it can make everyone aware of the existence of this war, whether it can make everyone aware of the meaning of this war, and whether it can be the first shot of the Clovis Kingdom against the Empire... is the key."

"Your battle is the key!"

"Perhaps while you are reading your letter, your loyal storm division is already fighting **** battles with the enemy; but don't worry, as long as the meaning of this war is made known... then win or lose, I, we, and The sacrifices and efforts of thousands of Storm Division soldiers are all meaningful!"

"Having an army that defeated the Empire head on, the Franz family's position in the upper ranks of the Clovis Kingdom will definitely improve, and the army will no longer dare to make things difficult for people with the Franz family background like in the past. ."

"And you who brought all this, your status in the family will inevitably rise; Archbishop Luther, will no longer be able to ignore your existence, and no one will dare to only regard you as your father's representative, they will Flatter you like Major General Ludwig, mock you, ostracize you...fear you."

"Finally, please allow me to reiterate my loyalty to you - regarding the Luen family, they are only related to me in the past, and are closely related in interests, it is a pure relationship between investors and the investee, and you The bond between me is fundamentally different."

"Anson Bach will always be your most loyal follower. My loyalty to you is as firm and unquestionable as my loyalty to the Kingdom of Clovis and the Ring of Order!"

After finishing the writing and reading it from beginning to end, making sure there were no typos or some flaws, Anson folded the letter with satisfaction, and put it in an envelope with his speech on the boat a few days ago, ready to send it later. A messenger was sent to Iron Bell Fort and asked his secretary to find an opportunity to send it away.

As for how much effect this letter can have, and whether Sophia can fulfill her "wild vision"... Anson can only say that it's up to people to make things happen, and that he has done his best, and everything that happens next is not his little army colonel able to interfere.

This is also a big gamble. The stake is Anson's own future, and the grand prize is also his own future.

In the whole letter, there is at least one sentence that Anson is sincere...that is, as a small army officer in the Clovis Kingdom, he has been branded with a very deep Franz family. In the short term, he is Will not betray the Franz family.

The "hint" of Archbishop Hantu at the banquet at the Lighthouse Palace not long ago proved that the church was not willing to continue to maintain the "non-interference in secular affairs" promise made by the saints in the forty-seventh year of the calendar. War, interference and even meddling in the politics of various countries.

As the representative of the Church of the Clovis Kingdom, the Franz family, which is a combination of the kingdom's dignitaries and the head of the church, will inevitably use this power to continue to expand their influence.

Because of their "Franz background", Anson and his storm division have been tacitly regarded as "own people" by the local Church of Order forces in Hantu - this is probably one of the reasons why the Archbishop of Hantu is willing to help.

As for the old gods... At least in the short term, Anson really can't see what benefits he can get from them, and he doesn't think these "old antiques" can really realize the so-called "big plan" - if there is really a certain If a fool is still fighting for this goal.

Compared with the Church of Order, they don't have a unified organization at all, and they don't have a clear enough plan... Oh, the Black Mage does have one, but he is obviously overconfident, otherwise he will not overturn at the last minute.

To sum up, the current Anson Bach is a genuine "devout believer" in the ring of order.

Putting on the military coat hanging on the back of the chair, Anson stretched out and left the tent with a cup of cold black coffee, stepping on the wooden box and looking into the distance.

On the sparkling sea, the anchored Hantu fleet was busy landing and unloading; looking at the bustling beach, An Sen, who was drinking cold coffee, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

This should be the first time in my life that I feel my feet on the ground, which is such a reassuring and pleasant thing.

It's not just him, all the Clovis land-ducks who were very curious and longing for the "new thing" of sailing before this, after a short voyage of four days and four nights, have completely hated sailing .

Apart from the fact that some of the unfortunate people suffer from severe seasickness like Anson, it is also because the "cabin" of the saint's 100-year-old calendar is indeed not a comfortable or pleasant place.

Those warships and ocean-going merchant ships are more expensive to build than the other, and even the maintenance costs are terrifyingly expensive. They are "luxury goods" that only powerful princes, nobles and wealthy businessmen can afford - naturally they will not consider " Can lowly" sailors live comfortably?

The deputy commander of the regiment and officers at all levels like Anson can still "corrupt" a bit, enjoy independent cabins and 24-hour fresh air, low-level officers and soldiers can only live in cabins packed like canned food, and Large and small baggage boxes are accompanied, and the air is turbid.

And in order to save space and prevent management confusion, most of the time they have to stay in the cabin with nothing to do and are not allowed to come out. Each person has only one hour on the deck a day; if they catch up with someone who has a bad stomach or seasickness and vomiting, that taste...

Of course, although the real fleet life is not so superior, it is not as good as they are; but the problem is that this "Hantu Fleet" is actually a large maritime caravan, from the very beginning. Not designed for transporting troops but for transporting goods,

It can be said that these Clovis people were so enthusiastic when they got on the ship and how active they were when they landed. , and never want to go back to the "can" that made them feel extremely disgusted and fearful.

In a certain sense, it also played a positive role: the login work that was originally scheduled to be completed in one morning has only been halfway through, and three-quarters of the plan has been completed.

Anson, who was also glad that the nightmare was over, took out the binoculars from his arms and began to seriously observe the port in front of him.

This is a small fishing village that is so desolate that it is indistinguishable from Reef Town, or even more dilapidated. Although there is a decent beach, it is too small even for a small port, and it can only park a few times at most. Just a paddle boat.

At the same time, although the terrain near the beach is relatively flat, once you enter the hinterland of Hantu, it is the barren and rugged hilly terrain of Aiden. The traffic conditions are poor. The only two roads extend to the deserted stone castle on the west side and Kalindi on the east side. The sub-border, but it is only the lowest level of sand roads, and it is very inconvenient for large-scale caravans to pass.

In the end, according to the reports of the sailors, there were not many fish in the surrounding area. The local fishermen in the salted villages had to row their canoes or boats to deeper waters to ensure that they would not catch nothing during a busy day.

All in all, the whole port is a shabby fishing village built around a raised hill, near the beach, with inconvenient transportation.

But as a frontier position, that would be ideal.

The harsh traffic environment can effectively limit the speed of chasing the enemy and improve the defense efficiency; although the beach is narrow, it is not completely impassable, at least normal parking and passage are enough.

Even the raised hills can be used as observation posts, command posts, artillery positions, and in the most extreme cases, as fortresses to cover the retreat of large troops.

Moreover, being broken also has the advantage of being broken, that is, it saves the trouble of communication - after the two sides reported their identities, a middle-aged lame man who claimed to be the "salted baron" after seeing the fully armed army, paid twenty gold coins. The price, very generously leased his territory to the storm division.

For An Sen, who had already made a fortune in Hantu, he didn't like the mere 20 gold coins, and he agreed to the baron who obviously wanted to slaughter the sheep without paying the price.

Of course, the money went to the public account. He was going to send it to the little clerk while he was sending the letter, and it would be reimbursed in the cost of rebuilding the Port of Carindia.

Despite this, Anson couldn't help but sigh. Twenty gold coins... In the barren Aiden, he could easily rent a baronial, but the other party still felt that he was taking advantage of him; when he came to Clovis City, he could rent a two-bedroom, one-bedroom in a mid-range community at most. In a small apartment in the hall, you have to have a good relationship with the landlord.

At the same time, under the enthusiasm of the baron, the villagers in the whole village also responded to the call, expressing their intention to assist the coalition forces in establishing a beachhead - although it seems that they are planning to come to eat.

An Sen didn't intend to stop this. After all, the maintenance of the fleet and the position is a very laborious job. With this group of enthusiastic "good landlords" who can do anything as long as they take care of their meals, it can be relieved to some extent. Storm division is a scarce human resource.

Moreover, a village with no "infrastructure" in the first place is also more convenient to build a position - anyway, there are only a few thatched huts. If it gets in the way, it will not be distressed if it is knocked down and rebuilt. Anyway, after the war is over, the storm division will not be able to pack the position. Go, aren't all the fortresses, trenches and various barracks left behind by them?

"...If nothing else happens~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the entire project can be completed within two weeks at the earliest, and a rough prototype can be built within four days." Standing on the edge of the hill, Fabian pointed below The fishing village says:

"In addition, I also chatted with the salted baron on your behalf. He said that he is very familiar with the terrain of this generation and is willing to personally serve as a guide to take us to the deserted stone castle by taking a shortcut."

"On the condition of giving him a good horse, of course," added the Grenadier regiment commander.

"You told him that military horses are very important military supplies, and it is impossible to shoot - but we can give him additional gold coins. If he doesn't agree, then ask other villagers. There must be someone who knows the way."

Anson replied casually, he didn't care much about such trivial matters now: "Is there any news about the Aiden Legion?"

"No, but sometimes no news is the best news." Fabian quipped, finally saying goodbye to the extremely painful sea journey, and he is in a very happy mood now:

"His Excellency Leno Emmanuel is the heir to the Principality of Aiden, and the Aiden Legion he leads is also a native of the land, and he must be more familiar with this place than us, so I personally think there is nothing to worry about, just wait patiently. That's it."

"Well, what you said makes perfect sense."

Anson, who was also very happy, nodded his head seriously. Neither of them thought much about this matter. Instead, they began to discuss how to join Claude Francois next, and the supply line after the opening. .

Unsurprisingly, after waiting patiently for three days, an army that was traveling a long way appeared outside the salted village.

The only problem is that they carry the golden iris flag.

Well, the Imperial Expeditionary Force.
