I Will Be The Crowned King

Beluga harbor, marina.

The black-blue tide, accompanied by the surging wind and snow, rolled up ice cubes and foam mixed with dazzling reflections, and slammed into the towering shore under the lead-gray dome, making a sound comparable to the chorus of hundreds of cannons.

It was as if there was a force that was roaring furiously towards the land shrouded in ice and snow, smashing itself to pieces in front of the pale "barrier" again and again, leaving only the lamentations like a grand symphony, sighing. That indescribable might.

The stars and lights lit up in the kingdom ruled by ice and snow, so faint that they seemed to be swept away by the gust of wind at any time; but they were never extinguished, and they quietly monitored the rushing coast.

"The sentry has been arranged. There will be three shifts, each with about 300 people, and the rest will be stationed nearby as reserve teams."

A low voice sounded in front of the pier, and the figure of the second infantry commander emerged little by little in the wind and snow that could not be seen, plus his self-evident complaining expression:

"I really don't understand... Do you know that just because of this order, the soldiers of the two infantry regiments are going to hate you to death?"

Alexey muttered as he looked at Norton Crosell, who had his back turned to him; if this guy hadn't insisted, he and everyone would have been in a warm barracks by now, or a banquet in the city center—not anyway Freeze in this hellish place!

Standing on the edge of the pier, Norton squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the restless sea, the snow on his shoulders had long been soaked into ice; if it wasn't for the mist still spitting out of the corners of his mouth, he looked like an ice sculpture.

"What did you find?" asked Alexei, who came to his side.

While grumbling, he understood that there must be a reason for it; the officers of the Storm Division (oh, now the Legion) had more or less little secrets of their own (especially the commander-in-chief himself), Alek Xie himself is no exception.

"No, nothing."

The commander of the 3rd Corps, who did not lift his head, replied, frowning more and more: "But this is the most wrong."

"Uh...why do you say that?"

"Because of the weather."

"weather?"

"It's winter in December, not to mention the Ice Dragon Fjord, the entire turbulent sea should have been frozen; but according to the previous batches of immigrants, the latest ship from Beigang even arrived in December— Because the weather in the Old Continent has been unusually hot this year."

Norton pointed to the turbulent, empty sea, and said with great uncertainty: "If that's the case, do you think Beluga Harbour will be so... calm this year?"

"Well, I really don't know how broad your definition of 'calm' is."

Looking down the opponent's right hand that was about to freeze, the corner of Alexei's mouth couldn't help twitching: "But I understand what you mean - if the situation is true, the Ice Dragon Fjord should be full by now. Bodies and shipwrecks from the rising tide."

"Exactly!"

Norton nodded slightly, and spit out a sigh of fog nervously: "So what must have happened in the turbulent sea, we don't know; and I am worried that that 'power' may spread to Beluga Harbor."

"You mean..."

Alexey looked back slowly and found that Norton was also turning his eyes to himself; the two with tight faces looked at each other, but both pursed the corners of their mouths, trying to get the answer from each other's eyes.

"Are we… thinking the same thing?"

"I don't know!" Alexei quickly shook his head:

"But I sincerely hope not!"

"Me too." Norton swallowed hard:

"But if it is true, we must report the intelligence to the commander-in-chief as soon as possible."

Norton's inner unease at this time was extremely high... He did get some news through the internal channels of the Truth Society, but most of them were just like rumors or gossip; if they were all true, then the new world would be a new year. It will be destroyed thousands of times.

However, this time the situation seems to be a little bit special.

Endless clouds rolled up from the sea horizon shrouded in snow and wind, and swept towards the land with a biting chill; vaguely mixed with a different kind of breath; more direct, purer, and more...deep than ice and snow.

I don't know when, the eyes of the two of them looking at each other became much more solemn.

This kind of feeling is unfamiliar and familiar, and I only experienced it once very briefly; when I left Beigang and went to the new world to cross the raging sea and storm.

"Go to the parliament to report the situation."

Alexei spoke first, and he had already pulled out the saber around his waist who was complaining just now; in the whistling snow, the long and narrow blade was a touch of bright red.

"I'm leaving here."

Ignoring his body that was about to freeze, Norton set off decisively - things were obviously beyond the normal range, and it was no longer a trouble that two talented people could easily solve.

He now only hopes that the situation is not as exaggerated as the rumors, but that some old **** faction organizations in the new world have no eyes and dare to cause trouble on the territory designated by the Rune family, not...

"boom--"

Thinking stopped abruptly at this moment.

Norton, who was stopped by the loud noise, turned his head sharply. The first thing he caught was that Alexei was stunned and froze in place, and then he felt as if he was shrouded in a shadow.

He didn't see the true face of the shadow until he raised his head high:

A ship... a dilapidated one, without sails, and even a mast left, the muddy battleship rushed out of the water like a breathing whale, standing tall in the harbor of Beluga Harbor!

"boom--"

There was another loud noise like thunder, and the exploding sea water turned into a majestic rain, and thousands of raindrops turned into thin and long silver needles in the air, smashing into the pier covered by the wind and snow.

The two people who were frozen in place were instantly attacked by countless ice needles, and the almost uninterrupted cracking sound turned into a grand and melodious concerto; the broken battleship slammed into the water again fiercely, setting off a huge wave again, washing the ice and snow coast.

Feeling the overwhelming depression, Alexei, who was almost suffocating, clenched the handle of the knife subconsciously; he lowered his head and found that the reddish blade had returned to normal, and a thin layer of light ice had formed.

As if realizing something, the stiff-faced Second Infantry Commander's gaze slowly moved upwards; almost at the same time, some kind of low-pitched movement that seemed to be emanating from the beast's abdomen sounded in the air.

Above the broken battleship, a cannon full of moss and rust was aimed right at itself.

Alexei's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Boom-!!"

…………

Pushing open the door of the conference room, An Sen walked straight into the empty room with a sullen face; the little secretary who followed him immediately closed the door from the outside and stood in the middle without moving.

In the huge conference room, there were only Anson, Carl Bain and Louis Bernard.

After confirming that no one's footsteps were heard outside, An Sen immediately turned to look at his adjutant: "Is the news true?"

"Exactly!"

Carl's expression was extremely nervous: "This is the information sent back by the soldiers of the guard company - Lisa and another young girl went to the port direction; no accident, it should be the elf lady."

The chief of staff secretly glanced at the young knight next to him. Of course he knew who Freya was, but he deliberately did not clarify his name; he was slightly relieved after seeing that Louis's expression had not changed in the slightest.

"If it's... Freya, then there must be an accident at the port." Louis paused and quickly returned to normal:

"Fleia is very confident. If she really takes action without even being notified, it means that the situation is already in danger to the extent that she is not sure that it can be solved; and the direction of the port can definitely threaten her, I am afraid only one…"

Lord of the Abyss... An Sen's expression was extremely ugly, and the situation was developing in the direction that he least wanted to see.

He didn't think that the other party would make a comeback, and Talia even reminded it specifically; that is, in order to prevent the other party from staring at Beluga Harbour, she made a special trip to leave Beluga Harbour for Winter Torch City, hoping to draw the attention of the tombkeepers attracted there.

After all, Winter Torch City is inland and on the top of the mountain. The cost of a real conflict is far smaller than that in the coastal Beluga Harbor. At the same time, it can avoid the opponent's "home court", which is more beneficial to her.

But the result doesn't seem to be getting what you want.

"Are the people from the Harold Foundation here?"

Anson asked again...Although the hope is very slim, assuming that the previous attacks on Beluga Harbor and himself were instructed by the gravekeeper, Ian and the three might have some information that they did not have.

"Here, but... he disappeared after he came." Carl nodded and glanced out the window subconsciously:

"I asked a few people at the banquet, including Reinhard Roland, and no one saw them... Probably hiding in a lounge or smoking room. If you want to call them, you have to send someone to find them..."

"No need."

Anson shook his head. He only needed to be sure that the other party was coming. It didn't matter where he was hiding; after all, Ian Clemens was not an ordinary cunning guy, and he had to beware of the possibility of him running away early when he was aware of the danger.

After the Knights of Untrustworthiness are completely over, there is not much money that I can use to blackmail him; the more this happens, the more we must be alert to the movements of such unsettled elements—if necessary, there will be an additional escape plan.

"I'm going to leave immediately to see what's going on over there."

The young knight stepped forward and said to Anson with a serious face: "Do you have any plans?"

Although it was an inquiry, Louis Bernard's tone was completely unquestionable; if he remained silent, Anson had no doubt that he would act alone.

"Don't get excited, wait a little longer." Anson could only try his best to reassure: "The second and third infantry regiments are now in the port, and if there is any abnormality, they will send information immediately; we have to solve the problems in the council first. Those people, must try to avoid riots that are beyond our control."

"You were there on the night of the Sail City Rebellion. Some things don't need me to tell you what will happen... right?"

The young knight didn't answer his question, but the right hand holding the hilt of the knife was noticeably looser.

Anson nodded slightly - he had already sent someone to inform Fabian at the headquarters before he came, that the Grenadier regiment would enter the city in a quarter of an hour, and with the assistance of the Faithful Militia, many things could be handled more freely. .

Assuming that the Lord of the Abyss really comes in person, except for the Elven Queen of Iser, there is not much that the rest of the Beluga Port can do, including themselves;

So what I have to do now is to pretend that nothing happened, stabilize my emotions, let the guard company at the banquet scene control the situation, wait for the troops entering the city to control the streets, and then think about what to do...

"Um?"

The silence of the conference room made Carl Bain's involuntary question very abrupt; Anson, who was interrupted, raised his head and looked at the adjutant who was standing by the window at some point: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing... No, I, I just feel like, something is not right."

The chief of staff was dazed, and turned back to the two of them and pointed out the window that puzzled him: "You, you don't feel like it seems...is it too dark outside?"

Anson and Louis looked at each other and looked in the direction Karl pointed; the snowy Beluga Harbour had been completely shrouded in night; the starry sky was completely covered by lead-grey dark clouds, and the whole world could not see a single star of light.

"No!" The young knight was the first to notice the problem: "This is not right!"

"Normally, even if it's dark and snowy, the sky shouldn't be so dark that you can't see any light; I'm not very clear, but I can feel a little bit vaguely, I'm afraid this is..."

Before he finished speaking, the few lights in the conference room suddenly became unstable, flickering and going out, leaving a long shadow on the wall.

Grinning his teeth tightly, the young knight who looked at Anson and the two looked extremely ugly, and even looked a little hideous under the fast flickering lights:

"...Dark Shadow Demon."

…………

Alexei's eyes widened, and at the moment when he was about to be blown into meat sauce by the shell, Norton, who was about to leave, suddenly hugged himself from behind, and opened a hemispherical barrier while blocking himself below.

The forty-eight-pound solid bullet that whizzed past the edge of the barrier, blasting a smoky pit beside the two of them; not a single grain of dust fell on them. The moment it touched the barrier, it disappeared without a trace.

"Are you OK?"

Norton's words rang in his ears, and his pale complexion was full of sweat - it was obvious that the power of the bloodline he had just released was not a small drain on him.

"It's okay!" Alexei didn't refuse, he caught the right hand that the other party extended, and instantly regained his senses; but the panic color on his face still didn't dissipate: "That quiet, ghost ship..."

"We have to retreat first!" Norton said out of breath:

"Hurry up, blow the assembly horn, let the soldiers on the sentry leave the shore quickly, and then find a way to notify...notify..."

Before he finished speaking, another very familiar, loud sound suddenly came from the wind and snow behind him, causing the two of them to be stunned at the same time:

"Wow wow wow wow wow wow!!!
