The bright moon is in the sky, and the cold wind blows everywhere.

Facing the dark night, Ludwig, who was alone, held a torch and urged his mount to walk slowly on the battlefield where the smoke was still alive, approaching the place where the negotiation was scheduled.

The reason why he decided not to bring an **** was not only because he believed that Anson would not dare to do anything to himself based on the judgment of the situation, but an important reason was that the entire jihadist army was pieced together from top to bottom, and there was no Ludwig's own cronies.

The information provided by the Clovis trial, the information his father revealed intentionally or unintentionally, coupled with his own judgment on the situation, had made him somewhat mentally prepared for the content of the conversation with Anson after more than a year.

Soon, an inconspicuous tent appeared in front of him. Those who stood guard outside with torches were the officers of the Storm Legion - Alexei Dukasky, and Norton Crosell.

So the rebellious colonial legion is not being coerced and deceived, but also knows the truth...even if it is only a part of it?

Facing the slightly embarrassed eyes of the two of them, Ludwig's expression was a little playful, but he didn't say anything; he handed the reins to Norton, who held his breath, and walked in on his own.

There is only a round table and two chairs in the tent that is not too spacious, and there is a map of the turbulent sea on the table; in addition to some ports in the Old Continent and the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea, the approximate locations of the thirteen colonies in the New World are also drawn in great detail. , the specific scope of each colony, roads, mountains and rivers, and even the general population.

Ludwig, who was immediately seduced by curiosity, lit up, laying on the table and watching intently, so that he didn't notice the footsteps walking into the tent at all; it was not until the other party opened a chair for him that he finally Noticed.

However, when he subconsciously raised his head and was about to say something, the doubt in his heart was immediately replaced by a blurted surprise:

"Why, why are you?!"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Outside the tent, Anson, who was hiding in the trench, said to his chief of staff nonchalantly while biting the cork of the rum bottle.

"Problem?" The playful Carl Bain raised his eyebrows, looking like he didn't know where to start:

"You asked Roman and Ludwig to meet first? And on the premise of fully understanding our details... Are you really not worried that he will sell us clean and let Ludwig earn a military exploit from the church?"

"Don't forget, he is a diehard loyalist of the Franz family!"

"Of course I know that." Anson shrugged as a matter of course: "Because I know this, I specifically asked Roman to explain everything to Major General Ludwig first, so as to avoid any misunderstanding between the two sides."

"specially?!"

"That's right, or I'll have to figure out a way to win his trust first; Ludwig is the kind of... uh..."

"You don't need to describe the character of this archbishop's own son, I have been under him longer than you!" Karl couldn't help but emphasize, his face filled with inexorable worry:

"I don't object to Roman Reigns gaining his trust, but it's too much to let them meet in private..."

"Danger?"

"I originally wanted to say it was stupid, but you can understand the meaning." The chief of staff took the wine bottle from the commander-in-chief: "Don't forget, behind Roman, in addition to the Franz family, there is the ubiquitous truth society; Once the Franz family joins forces with the Truth Society and lets Ludwig know the whole truth, there won't be much room for you to be deceived!"

"Tricked and abducted... Then it should be called everyone get what they need!"

Anson showed a look of deep helplessness, and sometimes it seems that it is not a good thing to have too much tacit understanding; he understands that Karl is worried that the truth will join forces with the Franz family, and he and the Storm Legion will end up being killed like they did in Han soil. All kinds of arrangements, all the tossing still can't get rid of the fate of the tool man.

But this time is completely different from Hantu... The trump card in the hands of the Storm Legion is not just the part that can be seen on the surface.

From the appearance of Ludwig, to the "excellent quality" displayed by the Clovis jihadist army, Anson can basically judge the attitude of the local and the royal family to this jihad, and why it has become a jihad The vanguard troops sent by the army, the target is still the city of sailing that seems to be the most inappropriate.

Once you have figured out the other party's attitude and purpose, the next step is easy.

Just as Anson was about to explain it to Carl in detail, Roman with a frosty face had quietly appeared behind him, looking down at the two who shared a bottle of rum in the trench.

"Major General Ludwig wants to negotiate with you." Roman said solemnly with his hands behind his back: "Major General hopes that only you and him will meet in private. Of course, if you insist, the Major General does not mind meeting the Bernard family by the way. heir."

"No need." Standing up, Anson smiled and said, "I have discussed it with Louis, and I will be responsible for negotiating with Major General Ludwig; if there are too many people, it may be inconvenient to talk about some things."

Roman's face was expressionless, expressing neither approval nor disapproval.

Anson, who didn't care about this, patted Carl's shoulder, who was still hesitant. He pointed to the wine bottle in the other's arms and chuckled, "This bottle is for you... But don't drink it all, remember to leave some for me."

The chief of staff couldn't help rolling his eyes, but suddenly realized something; while looking at the commander-in-chief's back, he looked at the Tirpitz rum in his arms, and his eyes showed a bit of surprise.

Opening the curtain, Ludwig was sitting in front of the map table, his fingers crossed on his chin, and his dazed eyes showed a blurred brilliance, as if he had not recovered his senses from the shock.

"Sit." Ludwig, who didn't raise his head, pointed to the chair opposite, and his body seemed to be trembling faintly as he spoke.

Anson silently took off the triangle hat on his head, pulled out the chair and sat down opposite him, and then raised his eyes to the former "old boss".

"Before we met, I thought for a long time, what identity should I meet with you."

Ludwig's voice suddenly calmed down, and even revealed a bit abnormal: "Friend, subordinate, enemy, traitor or... stranger."

"This question made me hesitate for a long time when the people from the court came to the door and took me to Lund Manor. It was finally decided on the day we set off from Beigang."

"But just now, after Roman was finally willing to tell him all that he knew, I suddenly found myself taking it for granted again; what I believed to be true, in just a few minutes, vanished like a light bubble."

"Hehe... And do you know where the funniest part of this is?" Pulling the corners of his stiff mouth, a smile suddenly appeared on Ludwig's face: "That's the kind of thing, it's not even the first time."

"My father, Roman, Sophia, ah and you... You, and everyone I know, seem to think that they should deceive me, hide everything from me deliberately or instinctively, and let me live in a lie that I think is the truth. !"

"Only at the last moment, when one more step will make your plans and your goals be affected, will you be willing to tell me the whole story, lest I do anything wrong when I don't know anything. Something that fits your mind!"

"The people I trust most are the members of the Truth Society of the Rebellious Church. My former deputy commander was a real spellcaster and a traitor to the kingdom. My father is far less loyal to the Holy See than he has always shown..." Ludwig Xi smiles more and more:

"So, Anson Bach, what do you think I should take you for?"

Anson looked at him motionlessly: "I don't know."

"do not know?!"

"How you treat me should be up to you; just like when I reveal the information I know to you, you can only judge whether it is a lie, the truth, or an incomplete truth." Anson said softly:

"But for me... Anson Bach, you have always been my boss and trusted friend; without you, my end would have been in the fog of Fort Thunder, with the remnants of the infantry regiment. bombed by the enemy."

"So no matter what other people do, at least so far, maybe I have concealed something, but as long as you asked me personally, I have never cheated on you."

"Perhaps to conceal in your mind is to deceive, and if so I am speechless, and have no intention of explaining; but before that I must tell you that even now, I, Ansen Bach, remain Loyalty to you, the Franz family, and Clovis has never changed!"

Ludwig's expression froze slightly.

But Anson was not going to wait for him to recover, but continued to output: "If I guessed correctly, Roman should have already told you all the information he has, plus the Inquisition or the Church deliberately disclosed it to you. Those of you, the nature of this 'jihad', you must already have your own understanding."

"In a simple analysis, the Holy See and the Empire, which dominated this jihad, each have their own goals to achieve. The former hopes to eradicate the Rune family. If not, they should use this as an excuse to gain the opportunity to intervene in the secular world."

"The latter hopes to retake the colonies in the New World, and even go a step further, completely destroying the interests of the Clovis people and even the three North Sea countries in the New World, monopolizing all the colonies, and cutting off the delivery of cheap Clovis raw materials."

"As for the rest... No matter Clovis, Hantu, Iser, or even those grand duchies in the empire that are capable of rivaling the royal family, they are just pawns that are coerced and forced to participate."

"The so-called choice is just a good-looking statement, and its essence is only to avoid damage to interests as much as possible under the premise of being forced to obey; that's why Clovis chose to lead the army and attack Sail City first - this The glory brought by the victory of 'Take the City' is the biggest benefit Clovis can get from this war."

Ludwig, who was blocked, looked at Anson with a rather ugly expression.

After being silent for a few seconds, as if after serious consideration, he said lightly: "So your 'betrayal' is really just a last resort, and you already have a corresponding plan, right?"

"As a servant of Clovis, no matter what you do for the interests of the kingdom, it is your duty." Anson smiled slightly:

"For the Empire and the Holy See, the Storm Legion, which is deeply involved with the Rune family, is already the target that has to be eliminated, and this will not change; if we don't rebel, they will use it to threaten Clovis; but now We are highly bound to the Confederacy because of the rebellion, and without my goal, they can only target the entire Free Confederation."

"Also because of the rebellion of the Storm Legion, as the commander of Clovis, you naturally have a 'rebellion' excuse for war; as long as you confront and defeat me once, you don't have to worry about the church and the empire using this as an excuse to coerce You and the Kingdom of Clovis." Anson's eyes gradually sharpened:

"In this way, the Empire's control over you will be weakened, and you will gain more autonomy in this war that is harmful to Clovis; and the Free Confederation will do everything possible to bring this The war dragged on until winter came."

"At that time, whether Clovis is tossing and turning, striving for independence, or continuing to maintain the old system of order in the world remains unchanged, and then... breaking the shackles and establishing a new order will all be your responsibility."

After speaking, An Sen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the other party's eyes sincerely.

Ludwig didn't speak, just listened quietly to Anson's chatter.

If it was him in the past, he would probably have been so excited that he could not help himself at this time, and even imagined that he would control Clovis's national fortune in the next twenty years by himself in the future. , will be vigorous.

But just like an honest man who becomes cunning because of being deceived again and again, Ludwig, who is easy to get hot-blooded, also sees a lot of problems from Ansen Bach's pie.

"You said, you want me to defeat the Storm Legion to prove Clovis' innocence, but now it is my troops that are besieged and blocked." Ludwig said coldly:

"Take ten thousand steps back and say, with the current situation in Yangfan City, even if I want to conquer Yangfan City, it is already impossible."

"No no no~www.mtlnovel.com~ You are too modest." An Sen quickly touted: "With the support of the fleet and your military level, at least the capture of Sail City is still..."

"I'm not talking nonsense with you!"

Ludwig interrupted rudely: "If you can't conquer Yangfan City, Clovis will not be able to hand over his self-innocent vote to the church and the empire. How do you solve this?"

"It's very simple." Anson smiled again.

"What did you say?!" Louis' pupils shrank suddenly:

"You want to withdraw from Yangfan City and surrender the colony to the jihadist army?!"
