"I don't understand! You once warned me when you were in Beluga Port, Sail City is the key to whether we can stop the attack of the Mujahideen Army; why did you suddenly decide to hand it over and give it to the Mujahideen Army?!"

Louis said solemnly, his eyes were very puzzled: "I'm not defending anything, if it's really time to make sacrifices, no matter how hard it is to let go, I won't hesitate even for a moment; Victory is in sight; as long as we stand firm and defend the line, we can completely wipe out the 20,000 jihadist troops in front of us."

"To make concessions under such circumstances, and even take the initiative to abandon the city to retreat... How can this be explained to the colonies in the Confederacy, to the soldiers who sacrificed so much to win this battle, and thousands of ordinary people The people of the Confederacy explain?"

"I finally won the victory, but they have to cede the land like a defeat, and hand over the keys to the town, can they really accept it?!"

"Answer me,?? Can they really accept it?!"

The young knight stood up abruptly, and the excited questioning even woke Lisa from her sleep outside the tent.

Anson didn't answer his question immediately, but silently picked up the rum "give" to Karl before, gently pulled the cork, and poured himself half a glass.

Although he said "remember to save some for me", the chief of staff seemed to just take a few sips, the whole bottle of wine was still full, and there was almost no trace of being passed over.

The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and a trace of loss flashed in Louis' eyes.

"Before explaining this...well, actually two, I want you to tell me another thing first." Anson pushed the bottle to the young knight: "If tomorrow the 150,000 troops of the Mujahideen land in the New World, we will Is there any hope of beating them?"

"This, this needs..."

"impossible."

Without giving him time to finish speaking, Anson directly asked himself and answered: "Even if we gather the strength of the entire New World and some foreign aid from the Old World, we cannot win the battle against the 150,000 Holy War Army plus the Knights of Judgment. The coalition forces, no matter how much they struggle to the death, at most they are just delaying the war."

"The gap between the two sides is so big, there is nothing to deny; even Ludwig's 20,000 vanguard troops fought so hard, not to mention fully prepared, and the imperial army was the main force, a huge holy war. The main force of the army."

"Then there are those two questions you asked, why you have to withdraw in the event of victory, and how to convince the Confederacy to accept this result." Anson raised his right index finger:

"I will answer the first one first - it is because of the victory that we have to give up the city of sailing; on the contrary, if this battle is accidentally lost to Ludwig, then I am afraid that we really have to defend the town. , wiped Ludwig out of the city."

Ugh? !

The excited young rider showed doubts, and the whole person froze in place.

"This holy war, or the war of aggression brought about by the empire and the church for their respective ambitions, is of no interest to any forces in the world of order except the emperor and the Holy See, especially Clovis." Anson said silently. road:

"Whether it can be divided, disintegrated, or even attract these forces to join us, or at least remain neutral, will be the key to whether we can defeat, or compete with the empire and the Holy See."

"...So you voluntarily gave up Sail City to Ludwig?? In order to win over Clovis and the Franz family?"

The excitement on Louis' face began to subside, and his stiff body slowly sat back on the chair, trying to think about the connection: "But even if you want to show goodwill to the other party, the relationship between you and the Franz family still has a future. As an officer of Clovis, as long as the reason for having to rebel is clearly explained, there is no need to do this step at all, right?"

"Exactly." An Sen chuckled lightly, with a gleam in his eyes: "Louis, have you ever given something you liked to others, but actually cared about it very much?"

"this……"

The young knight hesitated for a moment. He didn't understand why Anson was suddenly talking about irrelevant topics, but his qualities as a knight made him give a sincere answer: "Yes."

"When I first served as the imperial military attache, I gave my saber to my friend Arthur Herrid; but because it was made by Brother Kroger in order to celebrate my successful mastery of the power of the bloodline, I specially invited someone to forge it. So very sad.”

"Then how did your friend named Arthur Hered treat this gift?"

An Sen, who vaguely felt as if he had heard the name somewhere, continued to ask.

"I originally wanted to give him a memorial, because I have to go to the Elven Kingdom of Iser to serve as an army instructor. I don't know how long it will take to see you again... The result seems to be completely misunderstood by him." Louis shook his head:

"The last time we met, he also told me very seriously that the knife was hidden in his father's arsenal. Every day, a special servant cleaned the dust, and every month, he would ask the royal family's weapons craftsman to come and maintain it at any time. All are available...but what does this have to do with Sail City?"

"It matters a lot."

Playing with the wine bottle in his hand, Anson showed a very playful expression on his face.

"The reason why I ask this is that I hope you can understand that some things appear to be yours, but they are not; on the contrary, some things that seem to belong to others, but even he himself feels that he is just keeping it for you. "

Looking at the young knight who seemed to understand but not understanding, he took up the rum glass in his hand: "Ludwig's defeat now is equivalent to completely destroying the only benefit that Clovis can get from this war, waiting for him. There is only humiliation from the Mujahideen and disappointment from the Clovis royal family."

"Giving the city of sailing to him under such circumstances, and even taking the initiative to pretend to be defeated by him, is the same as giving your cherished weapon to that friend named Arthur Herrid. "

"He will not be ecstatic to avoid the consequences of the fiasco, on the contrary, he will think that you have ulterior motives, or even hide some ulterior conspiracy...especially when the person who made this condition is me. "

While saying this, An Sen couldn't help but sighed; although he knew the reality was like this, he clearly showed unparalleled sincerity from the inside to the outside and never took the initiative to lie, but why did other people just refuse to believe it? ?

"Indeed, although it sounds very sincere, it will make people involuntarily vigilant when they say it from your mouth..." Louis, who nodded slightly, agreed with this:

"So you handed Yangfan City to Ludwig, hoping to use the psychology that he will inevitably generate to keep Yangfan City, or to avoid completely falling into the control of the jihadist army, is that so?"

"That's true, but I really don't need to stress what I said again..."

Anson's mouth twitched: "If Ludwig is really allowed to attack Sail City, the entire colony will be bloodbathed; but through negotiation, especially on the premise that he has mastered the truth behind the jihad, cooperation with us is the only thing he can do. , is an inevitable choice.”

"Because the colony was won through negotiation, it means that there are still a large number of Confederate forces in the city, especially those who are still loyal to you and the remnants of the Bernard family; if Ludwig does not want the truth of this war to be exposed, especially If you are involved with me, a rebel, you must do your best to maintain the current state of Yangfan City in front of the jihadist army."

"And in the eyes of the Crusaders, his reaction is that the Clovis people are trying to safeguard the interests they have already obtained, so as not to be robbed by the empire and the church; if nothing else, they can also use this to cover up his cooperation with us. the truth."

"In this case, Yangfan City, which has become the base camp of the jihadist army, is equivalent to being one-way transparent to us; the army's action route, logistical reserves, and what actions the church is about to take... will all be under our control."

"And most importantly, avoid thousands of senseless casualties."

The moment the voice fell, Louis's pupils shrank suddenly, and the image of the past reappeared in his mind.

Thunder Fort, Eagle Horn City, Climbing Tower, Iser Royal Court...

Of course, there is also Sail City.

He seemed to see those people who paid the price with their lives and died innocently because of their arrogance, stupidity, cowardice, hesitation...

Why leave the old continent and come to the new world?

Why would you step out of the chapel and become the Governor of Sail City?

why……

Louis Bernard, who asked himself, already had the answer in his heart.

And Anson certainly knew all this.

Avoiding needless killing and letting innocents die in vain is the only reason why Louis would be willing to betray the empire and even his family, and agree to cooperate with him; as long as this condition is met, he is his most loyal ally.

It may sound unfriendly, even cruel, but the reality is that cruel - compared to the enemy, he is almost an existence that can be easily crushed by the opponent with one finger, and there is no room for resistance.

There is no plan with no lower limit to do everything possible, and there is no half-truth to win over all the allies that can be found, myself... Anson Bach, don't try to get rid of being instructed and used by others in this life, and it is almost 100% afterwards. The order of the tool man who will be kicked away.

He is not the heir of a grand duchy, has no royal blood, and does not have a biological father of an archbishop... With a memory that transcends the soul, a small army officer with a deadly handle on his body wants to turn over and win even a little bit of freedom. It is difficult. Comparable to the caster's upgrade, and even more desperate.

Otherwise, he would not be able to win over the Storm Legion so easily and remain loyal to himself - there is no real benefit, there is no fair enough distribution principle, there is no proof of strength time and time again, and the absolute trust and sincerity of the subordinates , talk about it, and say a few good words can make them willing to "curve loyalty", that is to step on the left foot and go to the sky with the right foot, wishful thinking.

This world is so inhumane, so cruel.

"I probably understand what you're doing."

With a heavy sigh, the young knight's melancholy expression still did not dissipate: "There is just one more question, how to make the liberals in Yangfan City, and even the entire Free Confederation accept this result?"

"Well, it's very simple."

"Simple?"

"Yes, very simple." Anson wrote lightly:

"No explanation needed."

The silent Louis was stunned at first, and then blurted out abruptly: "What, what did you say?!"

"I said... there's nothing to explain." An Sen looked up at his shocked face and said lightly:

"That's the way it is, they either accept it or they don't; it's nothing more than a choice to bear the consequences. As for us who made this decision, there is no need to explain the reasons to them."

"But, but they, they are all..."

"They are all members of the Free Confederation, and they are the objects you and I must protect. In other words, they are subjects." An Sen stood up slowly, his expression gradually serious:

"Since we are subjects, then as rulers, we can explain when we want to explain; but when we don't want to do so, of course, we can also not say a word."

"It's not their right, it's the ruler's choice... your choice."

Facing his gaze that seemed to choose someone to devour, the young knight looked very confused.

"But you said that the Free Confederation is different from the old world, that it is free and equal..." Louis suddenly stammered: "Is this really considered freedom and equality?"

"Of course!" An Sen said without hesitation:

"We are the freedom and equality of the new world!"

"...What's the difference from before?"

"It's very simple, this kind of thing didn't exist before, or it's been eliminated long ago." Anson patted him on the shoulder:

"And today's Free Confederation believes that if we want to protect this hard-won freedom and equality, we must select the person who can best represent the will of freedom and equality when necessary to enforce the rights that belong to all people. ."

"So what does the Free Confederation think?"

"It's everything we say."

The young knight's eyes were completely lost, but Anson didn't intend to stop there~www.mtlnovel.com~ but went further: "It's already May, the main force of the jihadist army may arrive at the new world at any time, we don't have time. If we continue to delay and wait, we must end all this as soon as possible and prepare for the final battle.”

"Abandoning the colony of Yangfan City, centralizing all the rights of the Confederacy, setting up the Confederate Corps Staff, and electing a commander who can lead everyone to the death battle against the Mujahideen Army is what we should do, and it is the most correct way to protect freedom and equality. !"

Anson said solemnly.

Louis, who finally recovered from the shock, twitched his throat and looked at Anson with a resolute expression:

"All of this...for the Free Confederacy?"

Anson nodded, the corners of his mouth raised slightly:

"All for the Free Confederacy!"
