I Will Be The Crowned King

"I shall be crowned king ( Find the latest chapter!

Facts have proved that Anson has seriously overestimated Hantu's communication level and the efficiency of the newly established "Hantu Supreme Staff" in processing information. It took seven more days for the port of Lindia to receive news of the fall of the Ascendant Tower.

Shocked is no longer enough to describe the mood of the Hantu people...especially the Hantu nobles at this moment.

Fright is more or less.

If the Eagle Corner City was just an accident, a conspiracy and betrayal jointly created an internal and external cooperation, a strategic alliance reached by a consensus of interests, and Anson Bach himself was crazy and good luck, resulting in this difficult attack. The fallen fortress fell at an alarming rate... The Hantu people were generally able to maintain emotional stability.

After all, on the one hand, Eagle Point City is naturally a transportation and trade hub, and it has the conditions for large-scale legions to pass through - although it is not convenient - the barrier of the Dawn Mountains can only protect her side, and it itself is besieged and caused to fall. risks of.

What's more, the Eagle Horn City was in the hands of Iser Elf before, and the relationship between itself and Hantu was not so strong. In addition, Iser Elf still relied on this "toll booth" to exploit the vast soil, so her fall would naturally be difficult to cause many people. The resonance of Hantu people.

The top of the tower is completely different.

First, she was controlled under one of the most powerful duchies in the Far Lands, the Ayden duchy of the Emmanuel family, rather than some "alliance"; It is difficult, but impossible to deploy at all; secondly, the geographical location of the top tower is perfect. The complex terrain means that the enemy can only attack one or two sides at the same time, and there is no possibility of being completely surrounded and cutting off support.

Finally, and the most important link, the army of the empire also successfully climbed over the Dawn Bingfeng!

It's not that there is a shortage of 2,000 people, but it is a full-scale infantry division that is well-equipped, well-organized, and well-preserved in combat effectiveness.

The shock brought by this is far greater than the fall of a hundred towers and the conquest of 10,000 Ports of Carindia!

If the last time Anson climbed the Dawn Bingfeng can be explained as luck, it was regarded as a coincidence, "Blessed by the Ring of Order"; then the success of this empire proves a truth that all Han people are unwilling to believe. .

The Dawn Mountains, which the entire vast land relies on to maintain peace, can no longer stop the invasion from the north.

Hantu people, who have relied on this ancient mountain for nearly a thousand years to enjoy peace and prosperity, have long been more than a mountain range in their feelings for Chenxi Bingfeng; The sacred wall that protects the earth from the fall and ravages of war.

And now this cruel reality is tantamount to telling the emperor in new clothes that he is actually naked - it brings not only "facts", but also the collapse of cognition and belief.

As a result, the port of Carindia, which had been singing and dancing peacefully only seven days ago, returned to a state of trembling and anxiety overnight; the nobles of Carindia, who were usually flamboyant and drunk, suddenly became extremely religious collectively. Churches began to outpace the frequency with which they held dances and receptions of all kinds.

According to the information sent back by the little secretary, it seems that a similar situation has occurred in Iron Bell Fort and Jinshicheng... A large number of nobles and knights fell into a state of confusion, and the original highs fell to the bottom in an instant.

From top to bottom, from west to east, the Hantu Kingdom, which was just born from the war, pervades an atmosphere of "doomsday", sinking and unable to extricate itself.

On the contrary, Leno Emmanuel, who is the "participant", has long been prepared for this aspect, and he is very calm about the fall of his fortress, and even began to study the tactics used by the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

Anson has not been idle during this time. In addition to sorting out various information dug up from the Imperial Fleet and the prisoners of the advance army, continuing to inquire about front-line news, and rebuilding the port of Carindia, he is mainly busy with another thing.

That is conscription.

Since Eagle Point went south, his storm division had not been replenished for months except for one expansion; months of fighting from White Tower to Carindia Harbor, although Anson had done his best. In order to avoid casualties, the regiments and divisions directly under the company still inevitably appeared missing.

The most direct manifestation of this problem is that when Lisa went to each regiment to ask for someone to replenish her guard company, all the commanders of the Storm Division knew that the deputy commander's sister was more difficult to mess with than himself, but they still mustered up. Courage rejected her.

Just kidding, with the terrifying casualty rate of the guard company (commando), their troops are already under-staffed, and the guard company will be drained sooner or later.

Of course, the domestic war in Clovis is tight right now. Clovis City and even the entire Central Province are speeding up production for the war. It is impossible to allocate more manpower to supplement a levy like him.

So Anson could only put his mind on the Han natives... More precisely, the refugees in Port Carindia at the moment.

As the only city in the entire vast land, although it is much smaller than Clovis City, it still has a population of nearly 100,000; even though it has been ravaged by many wars, more than two-thirds of the people still survive.

Among them, there are of course the elderly, women and children, and the sick and injured who are frail and inconvenient... But more survivors are still young adults with relatively healthy health, adequate physical strength and slight malnutrition.

Although even by the standard of a levy—30 days of quick recruit training—it would be impossible for these people to immediately add them as recruits to each company, but it would be more appropriate if they were simply used as labor to replace the baggage corps.

In addition, Anson was also trying to pry corners from the Thun and Aiden Corps of the coalition forces; the commanders at all levels who received "hints" from the deputy commander also showed their talents and used various methods to poach people from friendly forces.

Stormtroopers have at least two meals a day, bread and fresh vegetables, canned food once every two days, and cigarettes and beer once every three days; they have to change their military uniforms, wear torn feet and hair from shoes;

The soldiers of the Storm Division can usually lead the army, and win the battle and have the spoils to divide. After three battles, they can go home to buy land, and after two months, they can make a fortune;

The Storm Division advocates equality and never oppresses newcomers. From the deputy commander to the front-line vanguard, everyone works hard to earn money to support their families, and they are "workers" dedicated to the kingdom and investors...

Anyway, in the battle of Hantu, the entire Storm Division has made a lot of money, and it is not worth the "little money" to recruit new recruits; what's more, the conscription corps is originally a kind of "emergency supplies", and when the war is over, it will be dissolved. It is inevitable, and there is absolutely no need to worry about what to do with these "foreign soldiers" afterward.

Of course, self-reliant "returning blood" is one thing, and of course asking for "replenishing blood" cannot be left behind. Alan Dawn, who was entrusted by Anson, once again fulfilled his responsibilities as a clerk and sent a letter to the Army for a long time. 8,000-word letter for help.

The letter first mentioned a series of feats accomplished by the Storm Division: Alliance Thun, conquering Eagle Point City, integrating the eastern part of the vast land, surrendering Carindia, forcing Aiden, and ending the civil war in Mist...

Then there is a series of immediate difficulties: the supply of troops is interrupted, it is difficult to replenish weapons, all kinds of ammunition are lacking, transportation is inconvenient, the enemy is fierce, and it must be fought on multiple fronts at the same time, without any reinforcements...

At the end of the letter, the secretary also analyzed the current form of the war in the vast land. The original punishment of the Iser elves has become another battle between the empire and Clovis; the ownership and victory of the vast land. , will directly have a huge impact on the safety of the southern part of the kingdom.

In a word, the situation has changed.

The arrogant Iser elf has become a secondary enemy; what Clovis really wants to fight against is the empire's invasion of the vast land, and my storm division is the absolute main force in this battle.

Therefore, the generals of the Ministry of War and the adults of the Privy Council, if you don't want to see the imperial army with the "300,000" vast soil servant army, kill from Eagle Point City to the South Gate of Clovis, hurry up and help!

We fought the battle you were going to fight, and we paid the indemnity you were going to pay—although it went from 600,000 to 200,000—and we also defended the fortress you were going to defend.

Seeing that our storm division is so loyal and diligent, can we pull a hand?

In order to ensure that the letter would appear where it was supposed to be, rather than "disappearing" in the countless piles of papers sent to the Army and the Privy Council, Anson also made a copy of the letter, and the appendix is ​​being sent to Sophia F. Lantz's diary.

Of course, he also knew that just relying on a letter, crying miserably and showing loyalty would not be enough to impress the group of masters and generals; After the discount is over, I am afraid there will be a bunch of additional conditions, and it is still unknown whether I can get assistance after agreeing to the conditions...

Therefore, this "letter for help" is just an attitude in a larger sense. It's good to win it, but it doesn't matter if you can't win it. Anyway, An Sen's purpose of brushing his presence has been achieved.

Victory on the battlefield is only a premise. In order to gain the greatest benefits from this war in the vast land, Anson must also win the victory in propaganda; let the war in the vast land be not just an invasion or a competition between two great powers for a neutral country, But to make it a symbol, a logo, something known in Clovis and around the world.

Only in this way can people forget the cause of this war, and forget that the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army is Ludwig Franz; can Anson, who dominated the counterattack, enter everyone's field of vision.

He wants to turn the Hantu War into the "first shot" of Clovis's passive defense against the Empire and a full-scale counterattack!

"Therefore, unless we want to be taken away by the officer corps of Major General Ludwig's side after the war, most of the credit is taken as an irrelevant 'second battlefield', and we will be dismissed in place as soon as the war is over, and we will all go away. Returning to our hometown or re-unemployed, we... the storm division must participate in this final battle that decides the fate of Hantu!"

An Sen with a solemn expression said solemnly to Fabian.

For this point, the former Guards officer raised his hands to express his approval. As an unlucky old man who is also often robbed of credit by his colleagues and superiors, he can understand Anson's sense of crisis at this moment, but he also has some concerns:

"If we decide to march westward and start a decisive battle with the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and at the same time, a new situation has arisen on the Iser Elf battlefield, and we need to rush to Eaglehorn City to garrison immediately... what should we do?"

"After all, Major General Ludwig is you and the boss of all of us. We can't ignore his orders and act on our own."

Fabian's words are very obscure, but also very thorough.

His subtext was: In case Ludwig broke down again, even worse than the last time, he lost everything to the main force of the Southern Legion and the reinforcements of Thun, and the elf army of Iser besieged the city of Eaglehorn. Our back road, then what should we do?

Although the current situation, no matter how you look at it, the Iser elf doesn't seem to be able to turn around, but it is not afraid of 10,000. Very fatal things are very caring.

After all, Eagle Point City is the most important lifeline of the Storm Division at the moment. Once the back road is cut off, it is not impossible for the Hantu Kingdom to be supported by Clovis.

"Well, what you said makes sense." Anson nodded slightly, agreeing with Fabian's idea.

Despite his 100% confidence in his boss, Major General Ludwig~www.readwn.com~, caution is always necessary.

What's more, the Port of Carindia needs to be rebuilt, the Storm Division needs to rest, and the battlefield situation on the east and west ends is still unclear, and there is no urgency to start immediately.

"Then we will wait for a while to see the situation of the Iser elves begin to improve, or when Claude Francois asks for help, and then decide where to march." Anson said solemnly.

"Yes!" Fabian nodded and said yes, while proposing:

"And if both sides send people to ask for help at the same time, you can immediately lead the army westward, and I will lead the Grenadier Regiment and the reinforcements of Hantu to go to Iser on your behalf to support Major General Ludwig Franz."

"you sure?"

"The most suitable candidate is of course Chief of Staff Carl Bain, but it would be too deliberate to bring him back from the front immediately... I mean too much time, so I am the most suitable replacement at the moment."

Fabian cautiously said: "Of course, in order to avoid being 'misunderstood' by the Major General, thinking that we did this on purpose, I may not say anything good about you, and may even complain to the Major General about your dissatisfaction... Please also I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter, I can understand this." Anson waved his hand: "Is there any other information recently?"

"For the Western Front... there is no more for the time being."

Of course, Fabian knew what Anson was asking: "The Empire seems to be resting on the top of the tower, and Carl Bain, the chief of staff, has not received any more letters after the last dispatch... Probably too busy. "

"Haha... But even as a consultant and a staff officer, he can command a 300,000-strong army and designate a battle that will determine the future and destiny of a kingdom. No matter how busy he is, he must be very excited at the moment, right?"

Fabian is very envious.
