I Will Be The Crowned King

In the dimly lit tent, An Sen smoked his pipe silently and looked at his third infantry commander silently.

The truth will?

Great, so a lot of things make sense—why he keeps bumping into some haunted novelist, why he always knows where he's going, and why as long as he doesn't want to be caught by him If he finds it, he will never meet him unless he takes the initiative to jump out.

No need to ask at all, the answer comes out on its own.

The first time he heard the name of this organization, Anson only regarded it as a small group with the same name as the Truth Society led by St. Isaac; but it didn't take long for them to prove their "power" with facts: Clovis's Chaos, the Council of Thirteen, the black market of underground magic props...

Even seriously recalling that, Anson felt that the North Harbor riot in the 95th year of the Saints' calendar, the "fight to fame" of the **** Draco Wilters, was very likely to have something to do with the truth.

There is no sense of existence. The members have eyes in the old and new worlds, and they act in a high-profile manner, but there have never been rumors of their strength... These contradictory information is mixed up, and it becomes the "truth club" in Anson's eyes.

He looked at the "Carlin Jacques's letter" but did not open it immediately, but put it aside, pretending to chat and said:

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because if you don't do this, you won't be able to convince you of what I'm going to say next." Norton Crosell said unabashedly, his eyes stayed on the letterhead:

"At the same time, even if I didn't say it, most of you have already noticed it, so this is also to eliminate some unnecessary misunderstandings."

"misunderstanding?"

"You may have heard from Phil Crecy that the channels of truth in the New World are established by the Knights of the Faithless - this is a complete lie." Norton explained:

"Of course, they are very powerful in the colony, and if they want to do anything here, it is almost impossible to avoid the Crecy family, but this does not mean that the truth will have too much involvement with them. In fact, the relationship between us is absolutely Not really... friendly."

An Sen nodded slightly, which he believed; after all, the close relationship between peers is a rare phenomenon, and most of them would like to be able to attend each other's funeral tomorrow, and have a full meal to confirm that the other party is really dead.

"Besides, you may think that I have been reporting your whereabouts to the higher-ups of the Truth Society - if you really think so, I... I won't argue, but I really haven't done that." Norton's expression is very serious:

"In fact, the Truth Society has never asked me to do this, er... To be precise, they basically didn't ask me to do anything. This is the first time."

Ugh?

An Sen, who was smoking a pipe, was startled and showed a very curious expression: "If you haven't done anything, what is your position in the Truth Society?"

"I don't know either." Norton gave an answer that was not an answer, with an expression like the entanglement of a fresh graduate when their relatives asked them what their job was:

"The Truth Society...it's not like the army, the church, or any organization with a tight structure and relationship, it's closer to a club-like assembly - when I first joined, I really thought I was just joining a certain club. That's it."

"Like many clubs, the members of the club come from all over the world, from all walks of life, nobles, beggars, gangsters, journalists, military officers, traders... Everyone is equal to each other, sharing information and resources provided by each other, and helping each other."

"The difference with the club is that we have a very clear purpose; when the action is launched, everyone must unconditionally take the initiative to carry out the task that the truth will give it - just like now."

The loose organizational structure does not take into account the relationship between social identity and class, common goals and pursuits, how can this sound a little familiar... Anson raised his eyebrows:

"Then what is your goal this time?"

"Ensure that the existence of the Free Confederation will not be destroyed by outside influences."

Norton's expression condensed: "This is also the reason why I would rather expose it and come here as soon as possible - the existence and continuation of the Free Confederation has extraordinary significance in breaking the shackles of the Church of Order on this world! "

"As long as it can maintain internal stability and win the recognition of all forces in the Old World, even if it's just acquiescence, it will become the first country that has no parishes, no pervasive judicial surveillance, and no control from all aspects of the Church of Order."

"Whether it succeeds or fails in the end, her existence will provide valuable experience and a sample of examples for all countries that are trying to get rid of the control of the church and strive for autonomy in the future, and even the worst can become a banner to tell everyone that this is not unimaginable. Absurd, but practical."

"So this time is different. Although the purpose and reasons are not exactly the same, we share the same goal with you."

Common goal... An Sen's heart froze, and he exhaled a breath of smoke to cover up his not-so-kind expression.

It's not that he has any doubts about Norton's words - after all, the other party took the initiative to expose himself - purely similar slogans have been heard several times from a novelist, and they are almost psychologically shadowed.

"I have two questions."

Putting down the pipe at the corner of his mouth, An Sen sighed and said, "First, Storm Master... Or should I say how many of your people are in the Ice Dragon Fjord? Second, how did you know my whereabouts?"

Norton Crosell's face was startled, his frowning brows seemed to be in some kind of entanglement, he looked at Anson cautiously: "Can I answer the second question first?"

"……Can."

Anson had a formulaic smile on his face.

Norton nodded slightly, sat up straight as he usually reported to the studio, and said meticulously: "We...or Lord Carlin Jacques and I don't know exactly what you want to do, but after Sail City was captured by Sir Louis Bernard , we have collected a lot of information about the Faithless Knights."

"They are strengthening their ties with liberal forces around the world and recruiting talents and spellcasters who have fled to the new world; this is quite an abnormal move for them, who have always kept a low profile."

"After that, the storm division entered the sailing city, and I got the information that Fair Cressy was still in the city; I originally planned to report it to you immediately, and then came the news that you and Miss Rune were missing."

"Combining the information provided to me by Reverend Carlin Jacques and other members of the Truth Society, it is speculated that you are likely to pursue the fugitive Phil Crecy with Miss Freya Mosesfield; the only place he could hide at the time It's just..."

"The virgin forest in the northern suburbs of Yangfan City."

Anson looked stunned.

"To the east is Grey Dove Castle, and to the south is a colony port - with the current level of Confederate unity, he cannot escape." Norton added silently:

"You can only enter the wilderness that is not under the jurisdiction of the colony, and it is best to be sheltered by the old gods of the new world, otherwise you will never be able to escape the pursuit of the Elf Queen of Iser."

This is indeed a reasonable and well-founded speculation. Although the reasons are a little off, the result is basically correct, which means that the truth will also have a considerable understanding of the old gods in the new world.

Combining with Lisa's "recruitment" of a novelist before, it is very likely that the Rune family and the Truth Society were originally connected; the apostle personally summoned the Truth Society, which should know what the Rune family was going to do, and naturally would not dare to refuse.

But even if they are involved with the Rune family, it is still unclear how much they are related to Saint Isaac... Although the truth was once a simple academic research organization, it was a hundred years ago after all. Now, it is not impossible to change from an official institution to an underground organization, and to become beyond recognition...

Just when Anson opened his mind, Norton continued to say in a deep voice as if reporting on his work:

"As far as I know, there is only one member of the Truth Society in the Storm Division. There are about a dozen informants related to us in the Ice Dragon Fjord, and there are two families in Yangfan City who have contact with us... but most of them are not Knowing our true identity is just the downline and peripheral members of the members' respective development."

"But if you want to know, I can give you some information about the other officers."

Ugh?

Anson's expression froze.

"Hmm... For example, the Grenadier Commander Fabian was originally a guard. You should know that, but according to the information I have, he should have some connection with the royal family." Norton didn't seem to notice Anson's expression. :

"Around the 90th year of the saint's calendar, His Majesty Carlos II occasionally recruited some 'spies' in the army and the Privy Council government, and was responsible for directly reporting the information he had to the royal family; looking at Lieutenant Colonel Bian's resume, he was probably Those who were recruited in the Navy in 1997 were later transferred to the Guards."

“As the grenadier commander of the Storm Division, he participated in all military meetings and operations, and had ample freedom of movement—when I was in Northport, I accidentally ran into him writing a letter to someone. "

"Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Dukasky of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, he is nothing special, he is just related to the Dukasky Court Marquis of the Empire." Norton continued to talk like a small talk:

"I don't know the exact reason, but it was probably due to family disputes that led Lieutenant Colonel Alexei to escape from the house, impersonating a file of a fallen officer with the same name as him, and then gradually promoted from captain to lieutenant colonel—— He and I were both serving on the Western Front, and this was discovered by accident."

"By the way, he asked me not to tell anyone about it, but since even the power of his own bloodline has been exposed, you must have discovered it long ago."

Anson Bach: "..."

"Julian, the commander of the Fourth Infantry, although he seems to be just a weak guy, but it is said that his family background is not ordinary, and he is also a member of the officers' club who is suspected of being an old god..."

"Captain of the cavalry, Jason Fruhoff, originally served in a famous cavalry regiment in the eastern fortress. The reason why he went to the south to join the Storm Division in Eagle Point City was because he had colluded with foreign forces and had to escape..."

"Head Doctor Hank, his 'Good Wife Pet Hospital' in Clovis City should be just a disguise, the bounty hunter 'Black Mask Hank' is probably his real identity..."

"Logistics advisor Chris, although we don't get along well, but the bookkeeping method is very similar to that of Clovis, a famous fugitive fraudster in the 90s..."

"Leo Clinton, the commander of the Fifth Infantry, he is an ordinary man, but I have heard some bad rumors about him. Every time the army encounters danger, no one is spared by his superiors and colleagues, and he is always the only one who survives. , known as 'The Immortal Leo'..."

……………………

Looking at the letter on the table, Anson's smile completely froze on his face.

He has not forgotten when Norton Crosell left, and only vaguely kept the memory of the other party waving at him, shaking his head and leaving, sitting motionless in the chair for more than 90 minutes , It was not until the pipe was cold that he finally regained his senses.

Originally thought that the storm divisions were a group of abandoned cannon fodder, "startup gangs" who reported to the group to keep warm and earn money, but I didn't expect that they were full of talents, and they all possessed unique skills.

But Anson was only shocked. After all, whether it was a "royal spy" or a "bounty hunter", they had never done any act of betraying themselves or the legion, and there was absolutely no need for it.

The reason why the reaction was so exaggerated was that, in addition to being a little shocked when he heard it for the first time, the main reason was that An Sen's energy was already at the limit, and it was inevitable that he could not control his emotions.

Confirming that Norton had left, Anson threw the disassembled letterhead on the table, and lay on the bed without taking off his clothes.

Under the beating dim candlelight, the sleepy Anson looked at the yellowish kraft letter paper, his vision gradually blurred, and various colorful shapes and overlapping flashbacks appeared in his mind:

"Respected commander-in-chief of the garrison, Colonel Anson Bach:

Please accept my 120,000 apologies for leaving without saying goodbye. There is absolutely no intention to avoid you and Miss Talia Rune.

Truly, I swear to the Ring of Order, that's true!

At the same time as writing the letter, the letterless knights were frantically assassinating the "Beautiful People of Moby Dick", and the informants of the Faithful Alliance in various colonial branches and the peripheral members bought by them~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I suspect that I have already Expose, in order to avoid causing a disturbance and have to hide temporarily, entrust your clerk to bring the things you requested to Black Reef Harbor, and at the same time give this letter to someone you can absolutely trust.

If he gave you the letter, it means that the situation has begun to deteriorate - the Knights of No Letter are not as simple as they seem, they have a deep connection with the old gods of the "Sand of Rest", so be careful.

In addition, I have been in private contact with the current leader of the Knights of the Faithless, Ian Clemens. Regarding the relationship between the Knights of the Faithless and the Cressey family, this person is not as loyal as he appears on the surface. Perhaps Can be a breakthrough to avoid causing certain dangerous situations.

Finally, please remember to say hello to David Jacques for me, let him not worry about this brother who has caused him countless troubles, and don't forget to draw a few more pictures that can make money while pursuing art.

My best friend who has always been true to you and always told the truth, Carin Jacques.

yours truly. "
