I Will Be The Crowned King

"puff!"

The sound of the sharp blade piercing the flesh sounded almost at the same time as the gunner's roar.

The young knight quietly looked at the opponent in front of her. Wearing an obviously ill-fitting black long-sleeved windbreaker, she curled up and hid in the flowers. Her long chestnut hair spread out like a waterfall under her crooked peaked cap, covering a page full of difficult words. Confident youthful face.

Her red eyes stared at the blade that pierced through her heart, and she looked weakly at Louis in front of her, and subconsciously stretched out her small hand, which was completely covered by long sleeves, as if trying to grab something.

Clenching his palms slightly, the young knight pushed the blade forward.

"Uh……?!"

Along with the girl's trembling body, the surrounding vines swarming from all directions shook, as if the rhizomes were suddenly cut off, draining the nutrients, and began to shrink and decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The scarlet blood began to fade, and the girl's face revealed a pair of pure emerald green eyes.

"Louise!"

The shrill cry sounded again, and the young knight could clearly feel that the muzzle of the steam rifle was aimed at the back of his neck this time.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! I told you to stop—hand—ah!"

The gunman shouted hysterically, all kinds of concerns were thrown behind his head at this moment, and while frantically pulling the trigger, he rushed towards the young knight's back.

Under the dark muzzle, a sharp bayonet appeared!

The expressionless Louis turned around decisively, let go of the long knife that pierced through the girl, and the screeching bullets lifted his golden sideburns and single ponytail, facing the figure charging his bayonet.

The steam rifle, which could not see the flames and smoke of the gun, roared wildly, but lost the cover of the "flesh vines" and shot without any rules at all. In front of Louis who launched the "sea knight", he was not even a threat, and he easily and calmly avoided it. All the ballistic landing points were opened, and clouds of dust were continuously blasted behind him.

Facing the cannonball-like enemy, Louis, who was already bare-handed, turned the palm of his right hand, and the cards sandwiched between his **** slashed toward the path of the bayonet's surprise attack.

"clang!"

The shattered cards exploded with dazzling flames, deflecting the trajectory of the bayonet; the terrified gunman slashed at the young knight's shoulder again, and simultaneously squeezed the trigger with his right index finger.

Louis took out a brand new card again, and followed the direction of the bayonet swing to within three steps, the edge of the card reflecting a touch of cold light hit the gunman's neck.

At this moment, the gunman finally realized that he had made a fatal mistake - he was an expert in shooting, and he actually fought hand-to-hand with someone who was proficient in melee combat? !

The imminent death made him sober in an instant, and he resolutely gave up the attack and retreated and shot for cover.

"clang!"

The sparks flickered again, temporarily blocking their respective visions, but the gunman had already seen the cards reappearing in Louis's hand; three afterimages came silently.

Too close to escape!

The gunman made a quick judgment and gave up the idea of ​​​​dodge-with the strength displayed by the opponent, he could definitely attack and kill at the moment of dodge, and he didn't even have room to react.

Several previous encounters can also prove that although the weapon is strange, as long as it does not touch the fatal place, the damage it can cause is minimal, and it is fundamental...

"boom!"

The sound of gunshots without warning interrupted his thinking.

The sound was not far away, it should be nearby... Could it be that some **** found out that the situation was not right and ran to support, or the defeated Yangfan City militia fled around the mansion?

No, neither.

The sparks dissipated, and the young knight standing on the spot had an empty right hand, and his left hand on his waist held a pistol tightly, and the muzzle was still smoking slightly.

This... The gunman's pupils shrank slightly, and a sudden strong pain in his chest made him subconsciously want to reach out and cover it, but his hands did not let go of the weapon.

Blood gushed uncontrollably from the wound pierced by the lead bullet.

Louis quietly watched him struggling to take two steps forward, staggering down to one knee, and finally fell into a pool of his own blood; the red liquid that was constantly overflowing was diluted by the rain and spread around.

Until he died of blood loss... he never let go of his weapon.

Staring at the figure of the fallen gunman, the young knight silently walked to the blood mage named "Louis", pulled out a long knife from the center of his still warm chest, and turned away with the blood dripping blade.

"Pfft!"

The body of the girl whose heart was pierced by the long knife suddenly twitched, and the shriveled vines around it seemed to have found new nutrients, and new shoots grew on the withered trunk.

Louis' footsteps paused slightly.

Just as he was about to turn around, he raised his footsteps and continued to walk towards the Governor's Mansion.

Pushing open the slightly heavy door, an overly ornate promenade - or a hall appeared in front of the young knights: the red carpet with exquisite illustrations, the oil paintings in the style of the saints 200 years ago, the fashionable marble sculptures of great men - from the order From the saints in the ring of books to the famous emperors of the past dynasties, everything is available.

If it is in the house of a certain earl in Edland, this level of collection will probably be regarded as excessive luxury, and it is also a treasure that is not easily displayed in the houses of marquis in some remote provinces. It is even more valuable in Clovis, and here It's a new world...

The young knight couldn't help sighing.

In the months when he was often harassed by Bernard, he heard the Governor more than once complaining about the lack of funds, so that there was no money to repair the port and the city walls, and even the army supplies were difficult to sustain... Now it seems that the money is only They are all where they "should go".

This is just a decoration, if you take into account the decoration of the entire Governor's Mansion, the high vault, the bluestone tile floor, the stained glass windows...

Even though it was his first time here, Louis always had the illusion of returning home.

No figure could be seen in the deserted corridor, the quiet atmosphere and the chaos of Sail City outside the window formed a strange harmony, echoing each other.

No, there are still people.

A strange and somewhat familiar figure leaned back against the door, holding a bottle of rum and two glasses, smiling at himself.

Louis, who stopped in his footsteps, locked on the opponent instantly, and subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife.

"Stop doing useless work, we haven't met before." He laughed out loud, "Bang!" He bit off the cork of the rum bottle, shaking the dark red and black liquor:

"I was only four years old when your brother started to slaughter the Crecy family; if nothing changes, I should go to the Bernard family's castle in two years and become a squire by your side... Cousin Louis ."

Maybe it was the indifferent attitude of the other party, or maybe it was because of the similar appearance brought about by the connection of blood. Looking at this guy who looked exactly like his brother, the young knight frowned.

"Introduce myself, my name is Phil Crecy, and I am the current patriarch of the Crecy family; uh... This is mainly thanks to your brother. There are not many living people in the Crecy family right now." Er laughed at himself indifferently:

"I'm waiting for you here, mainly because I hope to accompany you to drink a few glasses of hometown wine-Veneto black rum, I am a genuine Crecy, for the first time in my life, I drink it in Sail City, somewhat. Irony, what do you think?"

Louis did not answer.

Phil didn't care either. He filled a full glass and slid the other glass in the direction of the young knight along the smooth floor, while throwing the bottle vigorously.

"Snapped!"

The muddy leather boots stopped the sliding glass, the wine bottle thrown in the air stopped at the end of the blade that was raised at some point, and not a drop of the dark red wine was spilled.

The corners of Phil Crecy's mouth rose quietly.

"To be honest, at first I thought you would be another 'Little Grogg'... It turns out that you are completely different from your brother." He took a sip of his glass while he said:

"If it were him, the two unbelievable knights outside the door would definitely not have any possibility of being alive; not only them, there would not even be a single living thing left in the entire governor's mansion."

"Don't think I'm exaggerating, you haven't seen him wielding a knife and slaughtering, but I have seen it with my own eyes... The Crecy family is much larger than the Bernard family, and there are hundreds even at the last moment, including servants. Thousands of followers, you know how long it took him to get everyone..."

"what do you want to say in the end?!"

Louis interrupted coldly.

"You are as good at judging the situation as your brother, the difference is that you are kinder than him." Phil Crecy said calmly:

"The two unbelievable knights were just sent by me to stop you. By the way, it was time to make them incapacitated. It is more important to break through as soon as possible - Sir Louis Bernard, your judgment is completely accurate."

"But it's a pity, it's still a step late... no, it's more accurate from the beginning; when you made up your mind to join this mess, one hundred and fifteen loyal MPs and their Family members have all been beheaded." Phil shook the wine glass in his hand:

"The rest of the surviving MPs are in the room behind me, all solid liberals and centrists, the same people who exist who can manage and rule the entire colony - even if you kill me now to end the rebellion, It is impossible to bring back those who are loyal to the Empire from the dead."

"Of course, you can also kill them together, this is your freedom; but the end is that the entire Yangfan City will become a colony that no one manages, and no one can stand up to maintain order, and the entire city and its surroundings will fall into an unprecedented situation. Chaos, robbers, bandits and deserters run amok, law and security no longer exist."

"Until the imperial army came and repeated what they had done in Grey Dove Castle, reorganized the entire colony, and explained that the city of sailing had been reduced to ruins... Oh, you still don't know what happened to Grey Pigeon Castle, right? ,There……"

"boom!"

The wine bottle shattered, and the dark red liquor sprayed out, leaving a solidified trace on Fair Cressy's smiling face.

"...It's like the current sailing city."

"What the **** are you trying to say?" Holding the long knife soaked in alcohol and blood, Louis's face was extremely ugly:

"the last time."

Phil Crecy's expression stiffened slightly.

"I just want to negotiate with you, by the way to confirm that you are a suitable negotiator...that's all." He didn't dare to be any more negligent, and his expression finally lost the unrestrained expression at the beginning:

"Please don't doubt me - yes, I want to use the rebellion to control Yangfan City, but I'm not a lunatic who must destroy anything if I can't get it, I also have a bottom line!"

"Master Louis Bernard, you are very strong. To be honest, I am scared to death even just standing here. There are still six or seven untrustworthy knights around me to protect the parliamentarians. You may not be able to defeat them all in one go. People, but it's more than enough to kill me before they do!"

"As for the angry Elf Elf lady outside... I don't mean anything disrespectful, I can understand her anger, but if she continues to sway her anger like this, not only will the Untrustworthy Knights be killed, but the entire sailing How many people are there alive in the city?"

"I don't know if you feel it, but I have begun to feel that even the rain near the governor's mansion has become... much warmer." Fer twitched his throat nervously and forced a smile:

"Not all ordinary people can survive in the scorching rainstorm."

Louis pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, but did not interrupt this time.

"So for the consideration of both parties, I propose to cooperate." Phil Crecy quickly said:

"Please don't interrupt me first - I know I know, you must be here to kill me! But since you are willing to listen to me so much, it proves that you must be very concerned about the survival of Yangfan City, right?"

"But before you take my life, we can end this chaos first, and let you, as the representative of Sail City, negotiate with the Minister of the Colony of the Empire, Lord Bernard Morwes, and let him accept the current situation."

"The current situation?" Louis snorted coldly:

"You want me to tell him that Yangfan City has rebelled, and all those loyal to him have been killed. He and his army must accept this result?"

"Well... that's about it."

"impossible!"

The young knight categorically refused: "Even if Bernard is good-natured~www.wuxiaspot.com~ suspected of rebellion is something that cannot be tolerated - you are too despised by the determination of the empire to suppress the rebellion, this kind of thing does not exist at all. There is room for compromise!"

"Of course I understand!" Phil Crecy's expression became playful:

"But considering the current situation, this is the most favorable option for the Empire; the Clovis people are pressing step by step, using the banner of the Free Confederation to devour the colonies belonging to the Empire, and now the east of Grey Dove Castle has become a Their sphere of influence, if it goes on like this, the power of the empire in the new world will completely disappear!"

"I don't want to bluff. In fact, there is no need for this at all, because the situation facing the empire is indeed precarious; if we negotiate with the empire based on the current situation, let Yangfan City exchange for a more independent status, everything can still be fought for!"

"If... if even that doesn't convince you, then..."

He deliberately paused, raised his head and met Louis's eyes:

"Do you need me to tell you who is the leader of the Clovis people on the other side?"
