I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 3 Chapter 38: "Eagle Horn City Battle"

After making up her mind thoroughly, Sophia, who has always been "activist", showed extremely high efficiency-in addition to the source of news, the competition in the news industry is time; which newspaper can report an event at the fastest speed? The home will attract the most attention and win the most sales.

The next morning, "Crowe's Truth", "Honest", "Simon Evening News", "White Lake News"... The desks of the presidents of the second- and third-rate mass newspapers, large and small, all appeared. A small notebook with a "bookmark" bill tucked between each page.

I don't know who sent it, and it didn't state any requirements; the content of the notebook was one of the most eye-catching news at the moment, the story of Eagle Point's victory -- and it was not the content of the church morning paper.

So the presidents of these newspapers knew what to do.

If the "Morning News" and "Kingdom Loyalty News" have "official background", the price is slightly expensive, and the publications mainly serve the upper class, it is just to let Clovis City "know" that there is such a thing; After the rough-textured and low-priced mass newspapers led by Lowe's Truth were released, the news of Eagle Horn City's victory was truly a sensation in the entire capital!

And it is completely different from the previous reports!

Because of the urgency of time, the newspaper that got the diary did not cut any content at all, only made the typesetting, and moved the entire length of Leon Francois's diary to the newspaper "original".

Even the title is not changed, and the name of the note is used directly - "April 24th to May 2nd, Eagle Horn City Battle".

Author: Leon Francois.

From the subjective perspective of the first person, the article vividly introduces how Anson Bach, who led only more than 2,000 soldiers in just a few days, cooperated tacitly with Adjutant Carl, Major Fabien and other officers to completely wipe out the reinforcements in Eagle Point City. , stunned the defenders with a false shot, and finally captured Eagle Point City.

After reading the whole article, the writing is not delicate, even a little rough. The experienced editors can see at a glance that this is definitely a novice work, and it is also mixed with a lot of unnecessary personal thoughts and excessive praise. It is not qualified at all. The report should have something.

If there is any advantage, it is truth, from the time to the location, and from the inconsistency and the absence of any inconsistencies in the description of the environment, it can be seen that this article is absolutely true - and it is also legendary .

If this article is indeed true, then the report of the Church of Order's "Morning News" will be directly overturned. The biggest hero in the battle of Eaglehorn City was not Major General Ludwig, but Ansen Bach who led a very small army and fought behind enemy lines!

"Anyway, it's completely unqualified as a report, but if it's a legendary novel, it's barely a second-rate work, and it's a second-rate work that is logically consistent, rich in details, and more brilliant--the ending is too exaggerated."

So say the editors of Clovis Facts.

"Can you sell 200,000 copies?" The president only cares about this.

"It's definitely not good as a novel, but selling it as a report... Maybe it can."

"Then print it!"

The result was as they expected, "Eagle Horn City Battle" was a great success!

Not only because of the circulation, but the whole article is different from the serious and stereotyped news of the "Kingdom Loyalty News". Class loves it.

Especially in the report, there are a lot of details about the marching distance, battle arrangement, passing and even the mental appearance of every soldier and officer, which are very convincing and make everyone believe that this is absolutely true.

And the timing of this report is too good - the Clovis people who have experienced the Clovis City riots and have been plagued by war locks in their daily lives really need some good news to lift the mood of the people.

What they need is not just a good news of victory from a distant place that has nothing to do with them; they need more content, a channel that allows them to vent their emotions.

"Eagle Horn City Battle" is such a qualified "punch bag" - the writing is almost okay, as long as you can beat the Iser elf violently, make them feel enough to watch, play hard enough and exciting enough, and win enough to win, these People will buy it!

Soon, the first batch of newspapers were sold out immediately. Not only were popular popular newspapers like Clovis Truth sold out of stock, but even community newspapers like White Lake News sold tens of thousands more copies than usual. ; Many readers buy several newspapers in one go, simply to see if other newspapers have more content.

On the fourth day, those newspapers that received the notes but decided to wait and watch carefully, and eventually regretted it, also began to publish "The Battle of Eagle Point City"; and made more detailed typesetting and correction, hoping to recover a little bit of the cost.

However, they are still a step too late... "Crowe Truth", known for its nonsense, third-rate legendary novels and lace news, launched the "illustration version" and "comic version" simultaneously on the fourth day. 》——Sold out of stock again.

As this report became more and more popular, even the "Kingdom Loyalty News" began to turn the limelight and wrote a lot about this report.

Of course, in the general direction, it is of course impossible for this group of people to slap themselves, so they began to introduce Anson Bach's background: born in the Royal Army Academy, served in the southern fortress, young and promising...

Especially the imaginative and unparalleled tactics of "Climbing over the Dawn Ice Peak and Assaulting on Eagle Point City", of course, the "Kingdom Loyalty News" with an army background knows who should be credited - "It is exactly in accordance with the army's formulation. A strategic approach, adapting to local conditions, allowed Colonel Anson Bach to win such a glorious victory."

Even why he carried out this task is because the army "sees people with discernment", because he learned that Anson Bach had visited the Dawn Mountains during his internship in the southern fortress and conducted a field trip.

That's right, it's definitely not because he was born from a low background and has a church background, so he deliberately sent him to die, absolutely not.

It is also impossible to slap oneself in the face, and it was the first Church of Order "Morning News" to report the "Victory of Eagle Horn City", and it focused on the "Battle of Thunder Castle" a few months ago.

They first fully affirmed Anson Bach's "excellent military literacy" and "deserved graduate of the Royal Military Academy", and then talked about Anson and Ludwig having fought side by side at Fort Thunder before.

Major General Ludwig, who "knows people with discerning eyes", relied on him as his right-hand man, and promoted him to lieutenant colonel commander and assigned important responsibilities; Fortress of Thunder."

"And the great victory of Eagle Point City is another perfect cooperation between the two of them." The "Morning News" of the Church of Order commented.

So Anson Bach was on fire.

Totally on fire.

Relying on the exciting victory of Eagle Point City, Clovis City finally knew that there was still such a number one person in the Southern Legion; this extremely ordinary-sounding name began to appear in some gatherings and noble salons from time to time, and its influence was barely On par with Ludwig.

So far, the first step of Sophia's "perfect plan" has been successful; she even saw a "fine edition" of "The Battle of Eagle Point City" on the desk of her father, Archbishop Luther Franz. ".

This made Sophia relieved... Since her father had seen it and didn't take the initiative to mention it, it proved that he had acquiesced in his behavior.

Despite this, the report still encountered some small troubles-except that there are still people who suspect that the report is fake, that "an officer paid someone to write about his stuff", and that is the question of the author's name.

At first, readers were completely indifferent to the name "Léon Francois", thinking that it was just an ordinary low-level colonel officer, no one cared at all, at most they looked forward to when he was "updated".

But when this news completely shocked the whole city of Clovis, some nobles who knew the situation of the orderly world immediately noticed some problems from this name-they might not know who Leon Francois was. , but they definitely know what the ruler of the Grand Duchy of Thun is called.

Claude Francois!

Allies of the Elven Kingdom of Iser, the François family, the ruler of Thun, one of the strongest states in the Seven Cities Alliance, how could anyone appear in Clovis' army? !

However, before the commotion started, it was suppressed by the Privy Council and the royal family-in the secret report sent back by Ludwig Franz, it was mentioned that the Grand Duchy of Thun was preparing to take refuge in the Clovis Kingdom.

Although this matter will soon be no secret, it is still necessary to cover it up as much as possible; the royal family and the Privy Council are not worried about what the Elf will think, but if the Empire gets the news too early, it decides to send troops to the south of the Dawn Mountains. If so, that would not be great.

But Sophia doesn't care about this, she can't wait to start preparing for her second step plan - a charity fundraising party.

First, it is to create momentum.

Clovis built the country by war, but on the other hand, many concepts are also deeply ingrained; if you want to hold a charitable fundraising event, rather than a copper-smelling investor dividing up the levy spoils, you must change the minds of the participants .

To do this, it's not enough to be rich; but Sophia is rich enough to have those who can do it come to her door.

That is, the newspapers in Clovis City.

After the success of the news, this gang was probably the most well-informed group of people in Clovis City, and soon knew who the notebook actually belonged to; so when Sophia "requested them" again, these most The reporters and editors who value freedom of speech and speak up to reveal the truth have clapped their chests and resolutely agreed.

Of course, the truth has to be revealed, and the money has to be given - and it's definitely worth every penny.

On the second day, the "Crowe Truth" and twelve newspapers, large and small, appeared with such a headline - "Shock! The soldiers of the Storm Division are living such a life? ! 》

The news report this time is still the content of "Eagle Horn City Battle", but the focus has been shifted to the daily life of grass-roots soldiers and officers.

Difficult marching routes, lack of medicines and basic supplies, and various difficulties encountered in unfamiliar environments...all unfold in the form of one short story after another, with protagonists ranging from Anson Bach to the most ordinary soldiers.

As for the author... Considering that her intentions might be too obvious if she used her real name, Sophia simply used the little maid's name "Angelica" as her pseudonym.

And Sophia was not satisfied with just newspapers. She also hired someone to find a realist painter named David Jacques, and gave him a monthly salary of about the level of a lieutenant colonel's allowance to paint the series of oil paintings of the Battle of Eagle Point City.

She had already thought about the content of the first oil painting, that is, the snow-capped mountains, the horses, the army who marched hard in the hardship, and was not dangerous and obstructed, and the calm commander...

Well, the name is called "Storm Master Climbing the Dawn Ice Peak".

Compared with the success of the previous "Eagle Horn City Battle", Sophia wrote this round herself, and there are many editors who are good at "making history" to provide her with various "bonuses". In addition to the first report in the new series The round was relatively hot, and there was not much response after that.

The reason for this is of course the deep-rooted ideas of the Clovis people, and the military life does not have much sense of substitution for the public class, and the people at the bottom who are already living in hardships will not have much sympathy for the soldiers in the army.

But Sophia is not discouraged by this... It takes time to change her mind~www.readwn.com~ It is not an overnight thing; what's more, she doesn't really want to do charity, mainly for the "charity sale" she prepares next Fundraising." Find a reason.

As long as the atmosphere is hot enough, she is not worried that no one will be willing to show up at that time - what's more, those spoils are already expensive, and charity just gives them a better reason to pay.

The main reason why it is so troublesome is that Sophia is inherently unwilling to attract too many investors to join in; at the moment, Anson Bach is the only one who is willing to fund him. Once too many people join in, I want this **** to join in. It's hard to stay true to yourself.

Therefore, even if it is a little troublesome, it is necessary to avoid too many investors. The number of people must not exceed five, and each person's investment ratio cannot exceed one-fourth of his own; if it is not possible, let him find a way to get more spoils to send Come over, making this kind of "charity sale" for a long time can also increase the popularity of him and the storm division... Sophia thought so.

In the spring of the 100th year of the saint's calendar, the entire city of Clovis was temporarily immersed in the joy of a sudden victory; meaning.

What they don't know is that behind this victory, another war is coming...
