I Will Be The Crowned King Chapter 155

In the early morning, the salted village.

The earth under the dark night was shrouded by a touch of damp water vapor; standing on the top of the hill and looking down, only the outline of the lofty mountains of Aiden could be seen vaguely, and the fishing fires scattered on the sea.

Among the steep and rugged mountain roads, hundreds of soldiers holding blood-colored unicorns and thorns and flower flags, and figures in various military uniforms loomed in the mist; bugles, orders, and occasional curses were intertwined, heading northwest. direction forward.

After just two days of hastily resting, the coalition forces that had just completed their rendezvous couldn't wait to set off.

After successfully defeating and capturing the Empire's vast soil fleet Tahien, as well as the various soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Forces afterward - including the inexplicable battle two days ago - the coalition command finally has a general understanding of the enemy's next steps. the plan of.

It looks complicated, but it can be summed up in one sentence: the empire can't afford it and doesn't want to delay it, so it intends to use the fastest speed to defeat all the resistance forces in Hantu.

Well, then kill them all.

So unpretentious, not pretentious at all, and not even bothering to cover up, An Sen was amazed, furious, and even a little envious.

If you say war, you will start a war. If you say massacre, you will not stay. You don't care about the thoughts of your vassals and younger brothers. You can even ignore the church's protests. This is really... what is an empire!

After confirming that the Mist Legion had been wiped out and the Imperial Expeditionary Force had circled around the Barren Rock Fort, ready to conquer the only supply point west of Aiden, Anson realized that his time was running out.

He must start immediately, and even if he can't get to the battlefield immediately, he must signal pressure to the Imperial Expeditionary Force and try his best to gain a sense of presence.

As for whether this "pressure" is to deter the "Imperial Rats" and make them hesitate, or to further strengthen the enemy's determination to quickly attack and end the battle, it is beyond An Sen's control.

So despite being very confident in his plan, Anson decided to add a layer of insurance to the "original" version.

His coalition army of nearly 20,000 people was divided into two again - Anson, who personally commanded the large force, marched towards the Barren Stone Fort, while Fabian, who was "in danger" again, led the Grenadier Regiment (Storm Regiment) to the top of the tower. fortress.

This is of course because the fortress of the top tower is very important. If it is successfully captured and defended, it can almost make Hantu invincible; but the more critical point is that it is the bait deliberately released by the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

Until the real big fish eats the bait with peace of mind, the fisherman will not pull the hook with a "little shrimp that is not worth mentioning".

"So my mission is to cooperate with Archduke Aiden to take down the fortress of the Climbing Tower - if that fortress hasn't been captured by now?"

Fabian frowned slightly, not quite understanding Anson's decision.

"No, it's more accurate to say "testing" the truth of the fortress at the top of the tower. If there is a chance, then grab her before Archduke Aiden can conquer her." Anson shook his index finger, corrected and added:

"But if it's obviously a trap, or if there's anything that doesn't feel right to you - don't hesitate, retreat immediately, do everything possible to keep the troop formation intact, and don't engage in any pointless battles!"

Compared with the entire Storm Division, this reinforcement group of nearly 1,000 people is his real "basic plate"-all soldiers are trained and trained little by little from recruitment to training.

Even the "official corps" of the entire infantry regiment are all graduates of the Wang Family Military Academy, all of them are from the same skirmish division as Ansen, and many are "apprentices" only one or two years away from him.

In the military, which is known as the "Second Senior Organization in the World", there is no more intimate relationship than the same discipline + apprentice brothers + first resume after graduation.

Considering the original nature of the Storm Corps, these people, like Anson, were labeled "Franz" and "Church" by the Army, which basically cut off the possibility of "changing jobs" smoothly, and had to go all the way to the dark.

Fabian suddenly realized, and he understood immediately after saying this.

As for Leno Emmanuel, Anson explained that this was for the sake of balance between the two sides. After all, the unity of the vast land was achieved by the unity of the two families of Emmanuel and Francois, so As a "middleman", you must work hard to maintain the unity of the two sides.

Moreover, the Stormtroopers as Clovis had more experience against the Imperium than the Han soil army; an infantry regiment might not be many, but these professionally trained officers were able to give Archduke Aiden a lot of valuable advice.

This kind of inconsistency, with a little brainstorming, you can think of an "excuse" for how wrong it is. It is obviously not as effective against Leon as against Leon—or it can only be effective on little Leon.

In Reno's eyes, this "shameless and greedy" Clovis just wanted to take advantage of the war; just like he agreed to directly aid the reconstruction plan of the Port of Carindia, he just didn't want to be caught by the second-hand businessmen of the Francois family. Just make the difference.

But he did not dismantle Anson, and even pretended that he completely believed in this nonsense; not only did he take the initiative to provide a very detailed and thoughtful map of the fortress of the summit tower, but also told this guy the private communication signal between Aiden's army to facilitate the storm The regiment should get in touch with Archduke Aiden as soon as possible.

Reno's wishful thinking is that as long as the Storm Corps also hopes to conquer the fortress of the top of the tower, then it must not give up the symbolic meaning of "the first to enter the city", which can be widely publicized in the vast land and the kingdom of Clovis. iconic exploits".

And Archduke Aiden... his own father, can take advantage of his greed and send this elite infantry regiment to fight the most critical siege battle, allowing Clovis and the Empire to fight head-to-head and recover the top tower with minimal casualties.

Anyway, this fortress is the territory of the Principality of Aiden. As long as the control of the fortress is still in the hands of the Emmanuel family, it does not matter to him and the Archduke Aiden who is the first to break the city.

Such an obvious thought, of course, could not escape Anson's eyes - so he did not expect Fabian to recover the fortress of the top of the tower from the beginning, only thinking about whether he could take advantage of the Imperial Expeditionary Force's attention to the Hantu Army. On the body, see the opportunity to take a little advantage.

But on the surface, Anson still expressed unparalleled gratitude for Lenore's cooperation: "It is precisely because of this seamless and united friendship that I firmly believe that the empire is doomed to fail, and victory belongs to the end. our!"

"That's right, unity is the key and the most important thing in defeating the empire." Leno nodded slightly, and the few months he spent with Anson taught him what it means to keep his face straight:

"In terms of our attitude towards the alliance, our Emmanuel family has always been loyal, and we will never do anything like betraying our comrades in arms!"

The two who revealed their true feelings tightly clasped each other's hands and hid the ghosts in their eyes, keeping everything silent.

After a show of sincere solidarity, the two sides had a brief exchange of views on the command of the coalition forces.

To put it simply, it was Leno Emmanuel, who lost all 10,000 Earth Legions, and wanted to get the command of the 8,000-strong Aiden Legion of the coalition.

But Anson didn't want to give.

The future of the next battle is uncertain, and it is not that there is no possibility of a head-to-head confrontation with the Imperial Expeditionary Force; and although the Aiden Legion is slightly inferior in individual quality and obedience to orders, in terms of fighting will and bayonet charge, there is no doubt that they are the best the best.

Give them back to Lenore, in case he takes someone to his father, where does Anson get such a good vanguard (cannon fodder)?

"But they are Aiden... Besides, I'm not trying to compete with you for the command of the entire coalition." Renault asked rhetorically:

"I just have a suggestion for you. As the heir of the Emmanuel family, I will serve as their commander, so that these Aiden people can play better!"

"This is the standard old-fashioned army model, and it's also the key to the fact that the Han soil Corps can never compete with the Empire!" Anson tapped the edge of the table with his fingers, and said "sadly":

"Only by completely getting rid of the concept of territory and using scientific means to establish a modern military organization and management model, can the fearless Hantu Legion become stronger!"

"Science, understand? As devout believers of the Ring of Order, we must believe in science!"

Science... The corners of Leno's mouth twitched slightly. He had also heard the sermons organized by the Archbishop of Hantu several times, and this was the first time he heard this word from a self-proclaimed devout believer.

Probably the only thing that makes them proud of the Kingdom of Clovis that gave birth to Saint Isaac?

"I respect your... 'scientific' suggestion, but I also said it was just a well-intentioned offer." Lenore turned his attention back to Anson:

"And I can assure you that this time I will not go against a pre-planned plan like Port Carindia, and will strictly follow your orders, just like... as a devout believer in 'science' should do That way."

"real?"

Looking at those eyes full of sincerity, An Sen suddenly raised the corners of his mouth with a malicious expression: "Even if I order you to hand over your military power, stay in Salted Village and wait for instructions?"

Reno Emmanuel: "..."

"Okay okay, I'm joking."

Before clenching his fists with both hands, before the trembling Leno's bloodshot head completely exploded, Anson interrupted in time: "No problem, the Aiden Legion can be handed over to you."

"real?!"

The blushing little Reno was startled suddenly, and has not fully recovered from the entanglement just now.

"Of course it's true, I... Ansen Bach, the deputy commander of the dignified legion, when did he break his promise?" Ansen nodded seriously and said:

"From now on, the Aiden Legion in the coalition will be under your command."

"But you didn't say anything just now..."

Just as Lenore was about to ask a question, he was immediately interrupted by An Sen raising his hand: "Yes, I mean... The overemphasis on regionality is one of the main reasons why the Hantu army's combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Empire."

"But since it is the main reason, it is not so easy to eliminate; the war is imminent, we must recognize the reality and consider our own actual factors...Blind pursuit of advanced and modernization is also not advisable."

"But……"

Lenore was completely speechless, not knowing what to say.

The person who asks to believe in science is you, the person who asks to respect reality is still you... You have said everything, what do you want from me?

"It's nothing but, it's settled." Anson crossed his fingers and said to Lenore seriously:

"I can trust you, right?"

"……Of course."

"Then what else do I have to worry about?" Anson smiled slightly:

"With you as the commander, the Aiden Legion will surely be able to complete all tasks and become the sharpest bayonet of the coalition forces, leaving the imperial cavalry who tried to detour to be riddled with holes, and then use the most perfect charge to defeat all stubborn enemies from the front. !"

Auxiliary soldiers to cover the flanks and front-line soldiers in the charge, this is basically what Anson defines the Aiden Legion.

"I……"

Lenore was slightly startled. Although it seemed that something was not right with the other party, he couldn't say what it was.

And he did get what he wanted most - the command of the 8,000-strong Aiden Legion.

"I promise to do it!"

"And I absolutely believe in your commitment."

An Sen smiled slightly, and while he was secretly relieved, he praised his ingenuity in the bottom of his heart.

Unlike Leon, the heir to the Principality of Aiden is very cautious, and for some reason he always seems to suspect that he is plotting something wrong~www.mtlnovel.com~ It is very difficult to get his trust and sincere obedience .

Taking advantage of the lessons of the Battle of Carindia Port, the goodwill gained by the post-war reconstruction, plus some piecemeal fighting, let the other party take the initiative to make a statement, and finally admit it by himself... After an extremely complicated set of operations, let the other party take the initiative. He temporarily became his subordinate.

Well, temporarily.

This is the disadvantage of the non-modern army... It is the previous great assistance to win the Thun Legion, as well as the "blood relationship" between Anson himself and the Francois family; to win the Aiden Legion is to rely on Reno, the Aiden The personal loyalty of the heirs can prevent this army, which accounts for half of the coalition, from jumping on the spot like all unscrupulous mercenaries at critical moments.

It's not like our Clovis levies... a standard modern army, with strict discipline, and even mutiny and rout are particularly efficient!

The coalition forces that finally "united" continued to move along the mountain road towards the Barren Stone Fort. According to Anson's prediction, the Imperial Expeditionary Force should be still in the roundabout stage, trying to transfer the Han soil army away from Claude Furlong. Sova's preset battlefield, try to attack his flank.

The reason is very simple. The empire has only 20,000 troops. No matter how fierce the firepower is, the frontal attack will not be able to win a fortress with twice as many troops and strong defenses. The battlefield must be transferred to the wild to rely on the high mobility and high mobility of the imperial cavalry. The power of artillery poses a threat to the Hantu army.

This judgment was very convincing to the entire coalition's officer corps - including Anson himself - until a messenger claiming to be Claude Francois' messenger appeared in the coalition barracks and proudly handed a letter to Anson myself.

"What, the Imperial Expeditionary Force has already arrived outside the deserted stone castle?"

"What, they still plan to storm the barren stone castle?!"
