I Will Be The Crowned King

Silence, suppressed to suffocating silence.

Members of the Free Confederation, representatives of the five colonies of the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea... The eyes of various forces are constantly meeting, rubbing, and colliding in the air; countless messages are quickly transmitted in it, so that everyone who was still immersed in shock just now is thrown into one. Among the seemingly inexplicable multiple-choice questions.

Eight stars, or 10 stars?

The people who can sit here may be greedy, honest, upright, shameless, innocent, despicable... But the only thing they have in common is that at least they are not stupid.

Or just happen to be smarter than the stupidest group, a little bit lucky.

What Anson Bach came up with was not a multiple-choice question, but a statement: the independence of the Ice Dragon Fjord, the rebellion (rebellion) of the Storm Legion, and the request to join the Free Confederation; this is an inevitable outcome whether they accept it or not. the fact that happened.

The only thing that can be "decided" by all of them is the five colonies under the name of the Beihai Three Kingdoms. Are they allowed (must) allow (must) join?

In the silent hall, the eyes of many people silently turned to the head of the Five Cities Alliance delegation, the Speaker of the Straw Town Autonomous Council.

The old man with sparse silver hair and a wine blush on his face had a heavy expression, and his lips that did not make a sound were always trembling slightly.

He has vaguely realized something, but it is precisely because he realizes that he is extremely painful, because he...including five colonies, has no ability to change the current situation.

The delegation looked at their head, and the silent old man shook his head and stopped a few people who wanted to speak.

Polina Frey, who was sitting at the top, looked at the figure holding two flags in her hands, and subconsciously held her breath; she was clearly looking down at the other party, but her unprecedented momentum made her feel even more insignificant. the one.

"In that case, please let everyone vote together." The girl stood up tremblingly and tried her best to raise her voice:

"Eight stars, or thirteen stars, which flag is more representative of the Free Confederation?!"

The faces of everyone present tightened.

This is a vote that violates all procedures, standards, and conditions since the birth of the Supreme Council; the proposers themselves are not even a real member of the Free Confederation, and what they really want to vote on has nothing to do with the Free Confederation. matters that should be decided by them.

This is another supreme meeting that can't be more "real": it is a political entity based on an independent consensus, and the weak and the weak are warming up to protect their own interests; as long as Ansen Bach or the Storm Legion can recognize their status , to provide military protection, which the Free Confederation should demand.

Neither the Free Confederation nor the Five Colonies have a way out. Once they express their refusal, they will pay the price. The difference is that if the Confederacy refuses, they will face the consequences; if they agree, the pressure will immediately shift to the Five Colonies. In the colonies, there must be resentment against the Confederacy.

And that's what Anson is for.

He needs to unite thirteen colonies, but it is definitely not to let them unite sincerely and share the same hatred. That way, he only controls two colonies, and he is too passive, who is not superior in number anyway; so he must create a rift in the camp and let him The Free Confederation of the original five colonies was in conflict with the five colonies under the name of the Beihai Three Kingdoms.

Only in this way can the Ice Dragon Fjord have the possibility of mediation in the play; instead of being set up by them, they are forced to do things that are in the interests of the Free Confederation, but will cause great losses to the Storm Legion.

Bernard sent troops to Black Reef Harbor when the rear was unstable. Claude I led the main force of the vast land elites and the imperial expeditionary force in a decisive battle. They all stemmed from the same problem; Dragged down, forced to enter the battlefield preset by the enemy.

His own advantages in this battle are far smaller than those of Bernard and Claude, and the control over vassals can only be considered insignificant; although the military strength is dominant, it is not completely unchecked, or even overhead. risks of.

Under the depressing atmosphere, with Paulina Frey and the other four colonial speakers as the head, a total of 300 members of the six colonies began to vote.

There was no prior explanation, no preparations were made... but everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding in advance, and expressed their wishes by raising their hands.

After a few seconds, the three hundred and five people occupying most of the parliamentary hall raised their right hands in unison.

"The Free Confederation has made her decision." Under everyone's breathless gaze, Paulina Frey, who also held her right hand high, with messy hair, said in a very solemn tone:

"From now on, the blue base and thirteen gold stars in a circle will be officially used as the symbol of the Free Confederation; all flags, badges, signs... must have this pattern."

"This is the Free Confederation!"

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the representatives of the five eastern colonies suddenly became more ugly.

Under the nervous, worried, and somewhat hopeful eyes of the people around him, the head of the delegation, whose expression remained unchanged, seemed to stand up a little out of strength, and supported the table in front of him with his withered hands.

The old man did not look at Paulina who just announced the result, but turned his gaze to Anson Bach in the audience, bowed his head humbly, revealing his head with almost no hair left:

"Thanks to the honorable Speaker of Grey Pigeon Castle, and all of you here for this honor, Straw Town... I am very happy to join the Confederacy and become a part of the blessing of the Thirteen Star Rings."

After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly towards An Sen, sat back in his seat with a calm expression, and then silently looked at Kong Wuliang, a young man named Aures beside him.

Under his gaze, despite the hesitant expression on his face, Aures, who could not stand the pressure, still resisted the displeasure in his heart and stood up, glaring at Anson without concealment:

"Captain Slave Port is willing to join the Free Confederation and become a...a member of the 13-star ring's blessing!"

Seeing his extremely reluctant appearance, Anson, who was standing under the stage, just chuckled lightly in response; Aulers' cheeks twitched, and he sat back to his place in embarrassment.

Two of the strongest and most prosperous colonies in the east joined the slave port and the straw town, and the remaining three had no choice at all; no matter what they thought in their hearts, they had to agree on the surface.

"Drywood Village, willing to join the Free Confederation!"

"Bingxi Town, willing to join the Free Confederation!"

"Yanshi City, willing to join the Free Confederation!"

The speakers of the three colonial councils got up one after another, and although their expressions were different, they all respectfully stated the same content to Anson.

In the brightly lit parliament hall, the solemn and solemn scene looked like the lords and vassals, one by one, swearing allegiance to their monarchs.

Looking at the complex faces of everyone with different mentalities, An Sen slowly stepped forward, dropped the flag in his left hand, and raised the 13-star ring flag in his right hand.

With his head held high, his eyes swept across the audience again, and in the same serious indifference as before, there was a little more majesty:

"In the name of the Governor of Ice Dragon Fjord, I am very honored to announce to you that Beluga Harbor and Grey Snow Town are willing to join the Free Confederation and become a part of the protection of the Thirteen Star Rings."

Almost at the same time, Reinhard Roland, who had been sitting silently in the corner of the hall, watching the whole process with a cold eye, suddenly stood up, put his right hand on his chest, and shouted in a knight's allegiance to the lord: "Long live the Free Confederation!"

"Thirteen Colonies... long live!"

Heavy voices echoed for a long time under the vault of the hall.

The parliamentarians who could sit still in their chairs and pretended to be dead finally could no longer remain silent. They stood up under the leadership of their respective colonial speakers, imitating Reinhard's actions, and shouting loudly:

"Long live the Free Confederacy-!!!! Long live the Thirteen Colonies-!!!!"

Amidst the thunderous shouts, An Sen, holding a 13-star ring flag, stood facing the hall, holding his head indifferently, without saying a word.

"Long live the Free Confederacy-!!!! Long live the Thirteen Colonies-!!!!"

"Long live the Free Confederacy—!!!! Long live the Thirteen Colonies—!!!!  …

……………………

Beluga Harbor, an unremarkable hotel.

Looking at the already slightly bright sky outside, the young knight standing in front of the window stopped for a long time and then sighed, frowning and turning his head to look behind him:

"Tell me, is this all in Anson Bach's plan?"

"Of course... not." The visiting Talia raised the corners of her mouth and answered without hesitation:

"Dear Sir Louis Bernard, and Your Majesty Freya, you should be very clear that everything Anson Bach did was just to protect himself; if it weren't for the sudden intervention of the Church of Order, the organization had grown to such a large scale. the jihadist army, things will never be the way they are now."

"That's right, but for you, this should be an expected result." The elf girl sitting on the bed said coldly:

"The Rune family... or in your terms, when the Apostle Rune left Clovis and arrived at Moby-Dick Harbor, the church's participation was inevitable; you knew it well, but you still did it. "

"So please don't pretend to be unpredictable about the outcome, and use 'accident' as a prevarication; we all know that it is not."

"It's just your idea." Talia still smiled:

"In the eyes of the Rune family, it is our freedom to leave the homeland, and we even take the initiative to avoid the possibility of conflicts and conflicts with the Church of Order; but it seems that the Church not only does not appreciate it, but also kills us quickly, which is really unbelievable. Regret."

Freya snorted with disdain, in her eyes the Rune family is a heretic, and the Church of Order is a heretic; no matter what despicable and shameful behaviors heretics and heretics do, it is not worth making a fuss.

"In any case, the most important thing at the moment is to unite all the forces of the whole new world; and only in this way can we have the power to fight when the Mujahideen arrives, isn't it?"

Slowly turning her eyes to the young knight, Talia smiled and asked back: "There are only a few months left for us, as long as we can protect the independence and freedom we have won with great difficulty in the new world, even if the means are rough, Be tougher, what does it matter?"

"Independence and freedom?" Louis raised his voice subconsciously, and said in a complicated mood:

"Do you think there is still so-called independence and freedom in the Ice Dragon Fjord and the Free Confederation?"

It was only now that he finally realized what Anson did to build the Supreme Council outside Beluga Harbor at all costs; to win over the five colonies in the east, manipulate the Free Confederation in the west, and finally combine the two into one and create one. Completely, completely controlled by him, the new Free Confederation!

Even if there is no jihadist army and no interference from the Church of Order, this is an inevitable result, but it will not be as fast as it is now; in five years, at most ten years, the situation and the present will not change.

Facing the young knight's questioning, the corners of Talia's mouth began to rise slightly, as if she was laughing bitterly at herself, as if expressing her inner disdain:

"I know that no matter how Talia explains it now, you won't believe it; not only you, but Talia also hopes that Anson can accept his fate and become the true ruler of the new world."

"It is very regrettable that he still seems to be holding back his ambitions, insisting that he has no idea about that title; all he does is for self-preservation and heartfelt loyalty."

"But even if everything you think is true, so what? Or do you think there is a better way now than Anson Bach and his plans to unite the whole new world and thwart the ambitions of the Empire and the Church ?"

"No more." Before Louis could speak, the suddenly serious Talia said coldly:

"Besides him, there is no second person capable of saving this land and the people who live here; not even you!"

"It is not that I think you are less capable than dear Anson~www.readwn.com~ but that you are an imperial man, a pious ring of order; Under the deterrence of the enemy, you have no room for parry."

"If it were you, then the final result of the new world can only be a compromise, she will never be able to win true independence, she can only be crushed by the empire, enslaved by the Church of the Ring of Order, and an extension of the old world. ."

"And Talia doesn't know if you have noticed, that is that the world is no longer what you are familiar with; she is quietly changing, the rising flame is about to burn all the old glory and open the new one. reincarnation."

Saying that, the girl slowly raised her right hand and pointed to the window behind the young knight.

The dazzling light suddenly entered the corner of Louis's eyes, causing him to subconsciously narrow his eyes and look back; the morning sun in the east is slowly rising, illuminating the dome and the sky, and the entire Beluga Harbor is set off by the darkness. Appears very dim.

And in the city shrouded in dark gray, the old Clovis King flag fell at the top of the Beluga Harbor Council, and a brand new 13-star ring flag slowly rose, passing through the gray haze, straight into the shining bright Dawn...

Fluttering in the wind.
