I Will Be The Crowned King

Once everyone understood the situation, it was much easier to come to a consensus—or to follow the orders of Major General Ludwig firmly.

The Southern Army has successfully captured Eagle Point, which is a victory; and now they must make good use of this victory, so that it can be used as a weight to win the next victory.

The plan was simple: within four days, the Southern Legion would take complete control of Eagle Point, and build a defensive line around the fortress that could stop the east and south offensives and hold back the attack of the Isir Guards; Work together to wipe it out.

The annihilation of the Imperial Guard Corps is the core of the entire plan.

To be honest, with a fortress like Eagle Point City, it is not difficult to force the Iser elves to withdraw as long as the reinforcements from the rear continue; but to achieve the strategic goals set by the Privy Council and the Army, they must be wiped out.

The reason is simple, because Iser and Clovis have completely different military systems.

Although this once mighty ancient kingdom has been converted to the Ring of Order in the 47th year of the Saint calendar, the real reform of the military system has only happened in recent years; The training took nearly three years.

In other words, the annihilation of the Praetorian Guards is not only the loss of 40,000 well-trained soldiers for Iser, but it is impossible for them to build a team of this size in the short term or even for a long time. Legion!

No matter what the cost, the Janissary Legion must be eliminated; and it is completely eliminated, so that they have no chance of resurrection, and the victory of the entire war can be completely established.

But the 10,000 people of the Southern Legion alone could not completely wipe out the 40,000-strong army of Louis Bernard.

Therefore, 20,000 people from the Grand Duchy of Thun must be drawn into this war.

Ludwig took the main force of the Southern Legion to defend the city of Eaglehorn, while Anson took the Storm Division to Golden Rock to "assist" Archduke Thun in attacking the flank of the Janissary Legion from the south.

"I'll give you fifteen days."

After the meeting was over, after all the officers left, Ludwig stopped Anson:

"It will take four days for the entire army of the Imperial Guard to reach Eagle Point City, and it will take a day to spread the front line. He will start to attack the city within a week at the latest, and he will definitely try to launch a general attack within fifteen days; Grand Duke En..."

"Then I will tell him that his son Leon Francois has been sent to the capital of Clovis by me, and then spread the information that he has reached a private covenant with us throughout the Seven Cities Alliance."

Anson said sternly.

After getting on the pirate ship and intending to ride the wall on both sides, then the respected Grand Duke Claude Francois has to pay a little price - by the way, the entire Seven Cities Alliance will be disturbed.

Ludwig calmly nodded slightly: "What else do you need me to do?"

"There is only one." Anson pointed to the south of Eagle Point City on the map:

"Try to avoid confrontation with Louis Bernard's main force, and at the same time let them shift the main attack direction from east to south as much as possible."

After thinking for a while, Ludwig understood what he meant.

Iser Elf... I'm afraid they still firmly believe that the Seven Cities Alliance will never betray them.

So Ansen wants to take advantage of this and let them shift the main attack direction from the east to the south, because the defense of the south of Eagle Point City is the weakest; the army of 20,000 Thun will be wiped out from behind without their expectation. The main force of the Guard Corps.

After receiving a positive answer, Anson, who no longer said much, said goodbye to Ludwig and turned away.

As soon as he walked out of the conference room, he saw Fabian waiting outside the door alone, and when he saw himself coming out, he immediately stepped forward.

"Notify all officers that the entire army will gather before 1:00 pm and head to Jinshi City." An Sen quickly ordered:

"Don't carry any excess baggage, throw down all the heavy weapons and equipment that are dragging down, and you must arrive within two days!"

Fabian, with a dignified expression, beat his chest and saluted, but did not leave.

An Sen frowned slightly: "Is something wrong?"

"Uh... Do you still remember when we followed your order and locked Bull Mathias and more than a thousand Iser elves in the dungeon of the fortress?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"That's it..." Fabian's expression suddenly became a little weird:

"While we were detaining them, we counted the original prisoners in the cell by the way; then we counted and found a... er... your... friend."

"friend?"

Anson was stunned.

I probably don't know many people outside of Clovis, not to mention that this is Eagle Point City, could it be said that "the former Anson" knew...

etc!

Suddenly thinking of something, An Sen was shocked, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Seeing his expression, Fabian nodded meaningfully.

………………

"That...is it really necessary?"

In the dark and gloomy cell, two hands were shackled to the wall, a shabby young man in a tattered coat was curled up in the corner, and under his messy red hair was an embarrassed and somewhat pleasing smile:

"Is there any misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding? No no no... I don't think there is anything to be misunderstood."

A friendly smile appeared on Anson's face, and his right thumb was on the hammer of the revolver: "It's a coincidence at best."

"You see, we said goodbye almost a few months ago. At that time, I thought we would not see each other for a long time; it turned out that we met again so soon, and it was still in the place of Eagle Point... It was too coincidental."

"What do you think, Lord Draco Wilters?"

"I think you're so right!"

The novelist with a cold forehead immediately showed a pleasing smile.

Anson also raised the corners of his mouth: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Thinking about what?"

"I was thinking, could this not be a coincidence?" Anson smiled happily:

"Like... the last 'Iron Sky'?"

"Absolutely not!"

Draco immediately and righteously vetoed, his head shaking so quickly that he could only see the afterimage.

"real?"

"One hundred percent...really!"

"Didn't lie to me?"

"I never lied to you!"

"Very good, I believe you." Anson nodded gently:

"Tell me why you're here - or you can be locked up to death with this gang of Ysir, either way."

"I, I choose the previous one!"

Draco, who smiled reluctantly, twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help sighing:

"The cause of everything must start from... the forty-seventh year of the saint's calendar..."

"Click!"

The expressionless Anson tapped the revolver lightly.

"All in all!" Draco shivered:

"The elf king of Ysir adopts a high-pressure rule internally, forcing all his subjects to believe in the Ring of Order; burning traditional statues, building churches on a large scale, condoning and even actively assisting the judge to arrest and kill all believers who are not religious enough."

"Therefore, a group of Iser elven nobles who 'adhered to tradition' created a secret organization to try to overthrow the rule of the Iser elf king and let the Iser elven kingdom... return to tradition."

An Sen's expression froze: "What does this have to do with your truth?"

The "Society of Truth" that the novelist worked for was formerly a branch sect of the Ring of Order, the extremist organization of the Qiuzhen Sect (also called the Ivory Sect). Resurrection.

Although Anson still doesn't know what the organization wants to do, since it is a branch sect, what conflict of interests can the expansion of the Ring of Order have with them?

"It's a big deal." Draco's expression suddenly became serious:

"Do you know why the truth was born?"

Without waiting for Anson to give an answer, he immediately revealed the answer: "It's to fight against the Church of Order's control of the world and liberate the world of Order from its shackles!"

"shackles?"

"More vividly, it's a cage." Draco's face gradually faded from the smile:

"One hundred years of the saint's calendar, one thousand years before the saint's calendar, this thousand and one hundred years of history is the history of the Church of Order using all means, deliberately taking the whole world into its own hands."

"They had tried by faith to build a nation that would obey them, and they failed; they had hoped to run a nation in favor of secular rulers, and they had failed; they had hoped that the church of all order would obey absolutely The Holy See's order has still failed."

"Now, this year is the 100th year of the saint's calendar, and it is also the second public order meeting. The Church of Order announced that it will no longer interfere in the secular world. Let the radiance of the Ring of Order bathe your territory."

Anson frowned: "You mean... the Church of Order is using the Elf King to preach and take the opportunity to control Iser's secular authority?"

"Only the Iser elves...or preaching in the 'non-human kingdom' can avoid the kingdoms' vigilance against the church; of course, they will do it very carefully. In the past half century, the church has also been true in Iser. It's just preaching."

Draco said lightly, the sloppy face with a pair of unwavering eyes, but it gave people incomparable pressure:

"They are waiting, waiting for a particularly good time, so that they can use very legitimate reasons - even Iser took the initiative to ask the church to intervene in the power center of the kingdom, not hesitate to hand over all kinds of power to the church. "

Very legitimate reason... Anson raised his eyebrows slightly: "Clovis invaded?"

"should be."

Draco smiled, his throat wriggling: "Can I have a cigarette?"

"Will a pipe work?"

"Of course, I'm not picking - I smoked old newspapers before and almost caught fire, and they thought I was going to escape."

Difficulties lock you up alone, and they won't even give you a bed...

An Sen, whose expression changed slightly, took out his pipe, and snapped his fingers with a "crack!" in his right hand. The flames floating on his fingertips lit up a leather-flavored ration of tobacco.

The novelist who was biting his pipe sighed, his skinny cheeks flushed slightly, and his eyes became much brighter.

How addicted is this guy?

"Back to the point." Draco moved the pipe to the corner of his mouth:

"Once the Iser elf has suffered heavy losses in this war, the Iser elf king will definitely ask the church to mediate and end the war in a decent way as possible."

"But this is only the beginning. Forced to withdraw from the war, the Iser elf who broke the alliance with the empire will definitely not give up easily, hoping to get more assistance from the church."

"And the Church of Order will take the opportunity to control the Elven Kingdom of Iser." Anson said:

"And use this as a springboard to re-involve in the secular affairs of the orderly world?"

Draco suddenly laughed when he heard this answer.

"Do you think... After the forty-seventh year of the saint's calendar, the Church of Order will really stop?" Draco stared closely at Anson:

"Gold coins with the ring of order logo have become absolute hard currency along with the churches all over the world of order; from the most ordinary countryside to the most prosperous cities, the shadow of the church college can be seen; the most advanced technology , theory, and even the history of the past millennium, are locked in the library of the church."

"If you want to study, whether it is enlightenment or higher education, the church college is your only choice; if you want to do business, from the king to the commoners, the bank of the church is your best choice; the king's gold coins are out of the country. It's ordinary gold and silver; the gold coupons called 'banknotes' issued by the church are obviously only a thin piece of paper, but even the bandits in the mountains and forests will be crazy about it."

"The church... just changed to a new way, using the 'invisible' hand to manipulate the entire world of order."

At that moment, the dark cell seemed to become even colder.

"So, are you going to stop them?"

Anson said solemnly.

A hearty smile suddenly appeared on Draco's face: "Actually, our goal this time is the same - to overthrow the church's control over the Elven Kingdom of Iser, we must destroy the foundation of the current rule of the Elven King of Iser. , Let the 'secret organization' that resisted the Elf King find an opportunity to use a rebellion to make Isir return to tradition~www.readwn.com~ On the other hand, there is a group of rebels who are trying to rebel and are ready to overthrow the Iser Elf King, it will also make it easier for Clovis to win this war."

"Then the truth is going to help them?" Anson asked.

"Almost, of course, it can only be some indirect help. After all, the relationship between the Iser elves and the Clovis people is definitely not friendly, and there is no trust between them." Draco sighed.

"I guess... This so-called secret organization is not just as simple as resisting the Elf King Iser, right?"

Draco's expression froze, and the pipe at the corner of his mouth almost fell to the ground, creating another fire.

"That's right, Your Excellency Anson Bach, your guess is completely correct."

"The Thirteenth Council - that is, the secret organization that opposes the Elf King of Iser, and their history of existence is to a certain extent as old as the Iser Elf."

"It is the only organization that can be traced back to the Dark Ages...'Old God Sect'!"
