I Will Be The Crowned King Chapter 339

Seeing Arthur's sudden serious expression, Bernard, who frowned slightly, held his breath and solemnly put the wine glass back on the dining table.

Because if he didn't do this, he was afraid that he would suddenly laugh and waste this cup of the saint's eighty-sixth year of wine.

Clearly, Arthur, who had only one muscle in his head, was being tricked; the person who told him was either as stupid as he was, or deliberately didn't tell him the most crucial information.

Of course, Bernard thinks he will probably do the same in his own words, because this child is too simple. The simpler and more straightforward he is, he can remember clearly. Too much information will make him unable to grasp the point of the content.

Become the kingdom of the old gods... The ring of order is on the top, it is the new world, the tombs of the legendary three old gods are buried, there are mutants everywhere, the wild land of evil gods and cult indigenous people, that place was originally the old gods The kingdom of pie!

Even if one or two of the apostles plan to leave the old world and go to colonies, that would be a great thing for the prosperity and stability of the world - garbage should be with garbage.

The only question is, what exactly is the church going to do with this opportunity?

If a "holy war" against the New World is really to be organized, the first thing to do is to end the war between the Empire and Clovis, as well as the civil unrest in the three North Sea countries - at least to the extent of a temporary truce.

This also means that the empire needs to recognize the status quo, give up or maintain the current very unfavorable situation, and deploy a large number of military forces originally aimed at Clovis into the conquest of the new world; Clovis is of course the same, but any It is not difficult for people to imagine who will invest more.

If Clovis mobilized 10,000 and the empire only had 5,000, would it be necessary for Clovis's generals to command the knights of the empire?

For His Majesty, who has always been good-natured, it is definitely the most exciting moment in the world, even if you spend a lot of money, it is definitely worth seeing with your own eyes...

Bernard couldn't help but slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and at this moment, an idea suddenly flooded into his mind.

Wait, maybe this is His Majesty's purpose!

If the jihad starts, it will not only give the emperor a decent excuse for "truce", but also in the name of "Guardian of the Ordered World", issue orders to the Clovis people who are disobedient to discipline!

Bernard's eyes widened suddenly... If his guess is true, then this is probably not the latest, but the result that has been settled at least a year ago - but the planner is not the emperor, but the Church of Order.

From the treacherous disciplinary war against the Iser elves, the church has exposed its ambitions for years of forbearance and longing to regain the power of secular interference.

Judgment Knights' bombing of the royal court of Iser proved the strength and heritage of the church with practical actions; by controlling the emperor's weakness of "valuing face", they also had the opportunity to intervene in secular disputes.

With His Majesty's impatient appearance and his demands for the Church, that day is probably not too far away...

"How, can you finally make up your mind?"

Seeing Bernard's increasingly serious expression and the surprise in his eyes, Arthur couldn't help but leaned in and asked, "Thousands of believers who saved the new world from the clutches of the apostles and the old gods, this is all the knights of the empire. A cause that everyone should follow.”

"And my good brother-in-law, you now not only have this once-in-lifetime opportunity, you may even be able to lead the entire process - leading is probably impossible, but you can still rely on your wisdom to advise the commander and do what you do best. For the Morwes family and my sister, fight for the honor that fits your status!"

"Yeah, what you said makes sense." Bernard twitched the corners of his mouth and replied reluctantly.

"So when are you going to enter the palace to meet your majesty?"

Arthur asked reluctantly.

"Soon, but not now." Bernard avoided Arthur's gaze and coughed twice: "This matter is very important, and before making a decision, I have to ask a few more friends, from them Get some advice."

"Young and rash kids like you are probably so excited when they get the news that they can't wait to rush to the colony immediately, but we are adults and have a more stable code of conduct; Accurate the most critical clues, discuss carefully and objectively, and understand the overall situation from a broader and comprehensive perspective...Ultimately, make a responsible decision."

Or try to avoid making any decisions, especially the ones that offend people... that is, most decisions, Bernard secretly said in his heart.

"So it is." Arthur nodded with an expression of "I understand, but I don't understand at all":

"Then who are you going to find friends?"

"Your friend Louis's father, Archduke Adelland." Bernard said calmly:

"As for the rest of the world...I mean the various internal affairs of the colony, there is no clearer than the Bernard family; moreover, Louis is now the governor of Sail City; the Bernard family can give us a lot of help in future actions."

"Then, I will go south to visit the Levant family. As you know, the descendants of the wind knight have a close relationship with the church. Many talented people have joined the ruling knights. They must know the truth of the whole operation better than you and me. ."

"When I have enough information, I can give His Majesty enough responsible advice."

Bernard's expression suddenly became serious: "The whole process may take a lot of time, but it is definitely worth it, do you understand?"

"Understood." Arthur nodded earnestly: "I will implore Your Majesty to wait patiently."

"Uh...don't be too patient."

Bernard twitched the corners of his mouth: "Sometimes taking decisive action may be more important than collecting the most information—not to mention that Levant is a wealthy family in the southern part of the empire, and it may not be easy to negotiate with them."

Most importantly, the last thing he wanted to see right now was the Levant family.

He still hasn't figured out how to tell him about the death of his best friend Ed Levant, but it must be as late as possible.

Just as Arthur was trying to understand what his brother-in-law had just said, and Bernard was racking his brains on how to send him away as soon as possible, the old butler calmly walked into the restaurant and knocked on the door panel lightly:

"There is a distinguished guest visiting, and I hope to meet you, sir."

"Your honored guest?" Bernard raised his eyebrows and looked at his old butler angrily: "I have already said that there are no guests today."

"Yes, but this distinguished guest insisted on seeing you--I tried my best to persuade him, but he was very insistent and decided that you must be at home," explained the old butler.

"Who?"

"The Grand Duke of Rhône, the head of the Levent family, Loire Levent."

The moment the words fell, Arthur and Bernard's expressions suddenly changed at the same time.

One was surprised, the other was like a mourning concubine.

In the carriage that was drifting away from the southern fortress, the frost-faced Ludwig hoped for the sentry tower that had sunk into the horizon behind him, and the road that continued to extend from the jungle and wilderness, with mixed feelings.

Once upon a time, he always thought he was one of the people who knew Anson Bach best in the world: a bold and cautious approach, a character not afraid to break the rules, and a little bit of greed for money and too practical... Maybe not with himself. It is not always compatible, but it is the type that you can trust and trust the most.

Of course, he also has some things he doesn't know, and it's quite mysterious, but who doesn't? Even with his father, he has never been frank, so how could he ask a friend and subordinate to have such a high standard?

But when Cole Dorian stuffed Anson Bach's intelligence information, Ludwig was silent.

The friend who seemed ordinary in his own eyes, and whose background can only be said to be ordinary, is not only a genius, but also a true old god, a spellcaster, and a close relationship with the truth during the chaos of Clovis City, and almost captured Clovis. The Blasphemous Mage of the Cathedral of Vivian is also his mentor.

In the Issel Rebellion, he was suspected of causing a serious injury to a certain judge, and it was not unrelated to the mysterious disappearance of Freya Moses Field, the culprit of the whole incident.

In the battle to conquer the Sail City, many returning imperial knights swore to claim that it was the Clovis people who colluded with the Crecy family to make them finally defeated... And the leader of the Clovis army was Anson Bach himself.

This is not the end. The legendary "fiancee" of the commander-in-chief of the Colonial Legion is the contemporary head of the Rune family, and there are many rumors that this family is very likely to be a family of spellcasters that has been passed down for thousands of years. .

And his sister, the so-called "Lisa Bach", was named in the trial a long time ago. Although she is just a cute girl, her combat power is not lost to any talent or spell caster, wielding a rifle on the battlefield. Taking the lead in the charge and killing more than two-digit enemies is not even news.

As for the miraculous resurrection, Kroger Bernard mysteriously disappeared, suspected to be a descendant of an ancient family of the gods... There is no evidence for this, but everyone knows it well, Cole didn't even put it. They are on the list.

"So, how does it feel?"

The Chief Inquisitor sitting opposite leaned forward and looked at Ludwig with a very awkward smile: "Shocked, angry, regretful, or..."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ludwig snorted coldly, deliberately avoiding the other party's line of sight: "If you are referring to the list, I can only forgive me for not being able to answer - your charges are enough to convict Anson Bach steamed with the valves of a steam engine, and I have a deep relationship."

"According to the church's consistent principles, a situation like mine must be punished together or avoided, so I don't understand what you mean by 'feeling'."

"Ah, that's being overwhelmed—I guessed it!"

Cole Dorian said loudly on purpose, and proudly poked the female judge beside him with his thumb: "This guy always thinks I'm the kind of nerdy, ignorant fool; and you just proved it with facts. , her judgment is completely wrong!"

Serra Virgil, who had been squeezed to the edge, immediately leaned closer to the window of the carriage, rolled his eyes and deliberately looked away to show that he had nothing to do with the guy next to him.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Ludwig's face was a little ugly. The new chief judge was not the same type as the one he remembered. Not only was his speech uncultured, but he was full of the style of the second ancestor who lacked discipline. There was also a kind of stimulating people. The quality of anger in the heart.

"I want to say that in a sense we and you are in the same mood." Cole slightly restrained his smile:

"Anson Bach is a friend of mine - not a particularly close type, of course - and I know who he is, and you can't really fault him if you're in danger; if you're in danger, It's much more reassuring to have him around."

"But it's a pity that his relationship with the Rune family is too deep, and the Church of Order has made Rune the next target after the Thirteenth Council of Iser Elf."

"If they continue to huddle on the outskirts of Clovis City as they have done for hundreds of years, the church will never dare to move an apostle out of tacit understanding and threats."

"But they left the city of Clovis, and even left the old continent, and went to the wild land across the sea. The threat to the church and the orderly world was greatly reduced, and at the same time, they broke the agreement between the two parties."

"Well... I don't even know how to describe to you how much the Church of Order wants to kill an apostle. We have waited so long for this day that we are so impatient when the opportunity comes." Cole Dorian Self-deprecating laugh.

"Really?" Ludwig snorted coldly and couldn't help mocking: "Then do you think it will be successful?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know, but I'm basically pessimistic - if it can be done, why should the church establish a covenant with the apostles that they will not harm each other and acquiesce in their existence?"

"It makes sense, but I'm optimistic." Kerr smiled happily:

"If I can die in the battle of hunting the apostles~www.mtlnovel.com~ Even if the final result is that the Dorian bloodline is cut off, the ancestors will be proud of me."

"All in all, we've gone a little off topic. The reason why we made a special trip to let you go is not for these or not, but for some more important things." The chief judge changed the subject: "We want to take you to a place A special place, where you take some special means of transport to Clovis City."

"Can you tell me why?"

"For your next mission." Cole Dorian nodded slightly:

"I generally don't like to reveal other people's surprises, or spoil the next plot of a story in advance. This is simply the most vicious behavior in the world!"

"But people are sometimes vicious, so Major General Ludwig Franz, from now on, you will be appointed with your excellent military skills, excellent piety, and absolute loyalty to the Church of Order' Ring of Order 'The Legion Commander of the Crusaders..."

"……one!"
