I Will Be The Crowned King Chapter 427

Latest website: At this moment, Drake's mind is a mess, panic and confusion are circling in his chest at the same time, some kind of uneasiness that is similar to "big is coming" is like the sea breeze on the deck, and the rain is howling and pouring into his own body. ear.

In a trance, he twitched his throat hard, looked up at the two sailors who had a good relationship with him, tried his best to hide his inner fear, and asked carefully:

"Just now... Mr. Phileas, could it be that..."

"That's right!"

Without waiting for his words to fall, the sailor responded immediately, and his face was full of pride and pride: "He is the commander of our crusade, the great Sir Phyllis!"

"You must have noticed that he is very young, right? That's because even him and our entire legion didn't exist in the first place!"

"does not exist?!"

Drake hurriedly widened his eyes. Of course he knew what was going on, but he deliberately pretended to be extremely surprised: "This, why is this?"

"Well, we're going to talk about the beginning of the formation of the jihadist army." The two sailors who looked at each other smiled mysteriously.

"It is said that at the beginning, the Church of the Ring of Order appointed a legion and was going to gather 120,000 armies and six legions to fight against other worlds, and each parish recruited troops separately; as a result, the timid Clovis people were only willing to gather one legion, which led to the emergence of the Holy War Army. gap."

"Just when everyone was at a loss, Sir Phyllis stepped forward and was willing to recruit a fourth legion for the empire; he did not ask the emperor for a single copper coin, but sold all his estate and manor, calling for order. All the followers of the Ring of Order in the world join his army."

"And he succeeded... With his firm belief and amazing perseverance, countless excellent knights joined him one after another, and then countless believers came here, forming the largest legion in the Holy War Army! "

Firm belief and perseverance, yes yes yes... Drake pursed his lips unnaturally, paused and then asked, "So, so, the two of you joined for this reason?"

"Ah, are you talking about us?" Sailor pointed at himself, then smiled and waved his hand:

"Of course not, or just one of the reasons."

"Oh, so the main reason is..."

"It's mainly money." The sailor said honestly:

"The Church of the Ring of Order stopped all trade in coastal ports, and we had no choice, so we had to join the jihadist army to seek a living) - of course, faith is also a very important reason!"

"Ah, that's for sure!" Drake hurriedly smiled and rolled his eyes quickly:

"That is to say, the entire legion, everyone doesn't know much about this young legion commander?"

"Uh... can't say that completely?" The sailor frowned slightly: "There are some things that everyone still knows."

"for example?"

"For example...Although he doesn't seem to have any pretensions and speaks well, Sir Phyllis is actually a very strict person." The sailor next to him added:

"Everyone must abide by the rules he made, otherwise they will be thrown off the boat as a sacrifice to the Lord of the Abyss... We had two boatmen before, and that's how they died."

"Yes, and there are only two rules, which are very easy to follow." Another sailor also had a lingering expression: "First, you are not allowed to enter the captain's room, even peeping from the outside in, or lying outside the door to eavesdrop. ."

"Secondly, unless approved, no one can touch the box with the seal of the Phyllis family in the warehouse. Sir Phylles' squires and knights will oversee the work there every day. Once approached, they will be warned and the upper limit has been reached. will be punished."

Derek was startled.

The captain's room that is not allowed to enter, the mysterious box with the seal and the special person guarding it?

Good, he has figured out what to do.

Just as the last main army of the Mujahideen Army was about to arrive in the new world, the war that had just ended in Black Reef Harbor had rekindled. The Mujahideen Army, which had just won two "great victories", didn't even have time to breathe.

As the attacked party in the war, the New World Legion did not tremble as expected by the Mujahideen Army, desperately building a defensive line and preparing to be beaten; the main force had just arrived at Red Hand Bay and quickly turned back, overwhelmingly attacking Black Reef Harbor.

But the whole jihadist army was unaware of this, and did not even know that the nearest enemy was approaching within three kilometers of Black Reef Harbor, and they could see each other when they stood on a high place and looked up.

This is of course because the New World Corps adopted Anson's "flexible defense" plan. The mobilized 1,000 infantry and more than 5,000 cavalry were scattered, half-battalion or even half-company. Colonies large and small fell, with mines and farms as their bases, distributed in the vast wilderness from Black Reef Harbor to Red Hand Bay.

Because the colonies failed to unify their uniforms in the end, these soldiers of the New World Legion didn't even need to camouflage; hiding their guns and putting away the 13-star ring flag was no different from ordinary colonists-because there was no difference.

Of course, there are still some things that should be there... While implementing "flexible defense", Louis, who led the main force of the 20,000 New World Corps, was really busy building fortifications in Red Hand Bay, especially in Slave Harbor and Beluga Harbor. And the three areas of Red Hand Bay continue the coastal defense battery that was not completed before.

It is not easy to build such a large-scale fortification that can withstand sea attacks, and the manpower and material resources consumed are even more astronomical for the Free Confederation, but at least it looks very bluffing, making the Mujahideen believe that the Confederation has no intention of launching a counterattack now.

On the other hand, and the main reason, is that the jihadist army, which finally conquered two colonies in a row, found that, let alone organizing an attack, they couldn't even recruit the manpower to maintain law and order and control the entire colony!

First, the Ludwig Legion suffered a lot in the Battle of Sail City, and almost all the artillery became the spoils of the New World Legion; then the Arthur Legion was captured, and 10,000 people were directly wiped out. Lost a lot.

The only Boley Legion that didn't hurt much was the smallest of the three legions, but Boley Levant wanted to maintain his presence in Sail City, but he was unwilling to share the Black Reef Harbor with others. At the same time, troops were stationed in both towns, and other legions were not allowed to enter Black Reef Harbor.

The Fernando Legion, who finally arrived in the New World after a lot of hard work, was directly turned away by Borre Levent; the leader Fernando Herrede wanted to fight on the spot, but his legion materials were running out. The crew and The soldiers were also infected in a large area, and they could not immediately enter the battle. They could only turn around and head to Yangfan City to be stationed.

Borre Levant, who monopolized Black Reef Harbor as he wished, had ten thousand troops to control the town, let alone the entire colony.

But in fact, he can't tell... Everyone knows that the Levent family has many talents, but in turn, the number of vassals and squire knights is several times or even ten times that of other wealthy families; these blood relatives on the battlefield It is the core force he can absolutely trust, and they also need to be rewarded outside the battlefield.

The rewards of ordinary Mujahideen soldiers can be delayed, but the rewards of these relatives must be satisfied immediately; in a battle of Black Reef Harbor, there is very little wealth, so the land around Black Reef Harbor can only be sealed off.

Not to mention the occupation of Black Reef Port, but also relying on the relationship with the church to forcibly divide the territory in advance... The relationship between Borre Levant and other legions has dropped to freezing point, and even Ludwig, the now recognized "good man" in the legion, has Troops are no longer sent to assist Borre Levant in the management of the colony, and meetings are over without him being informed of the results and contents.

The isolated Bolei Legion could only control the Black Reef Harbor alone, and then he found that what he got was not a territory at all, but a total trouble - the entire town was almost completely evacuated by Anson, let alone supplies in the warehouse, look at the mouse All to cry.

At the same time, none of the leaders of the colonies and manors who should theoretically have voluntarily declared their control after he took control of the town, did not appear; the black-eyed Boray Levant had to send out the army to search, and then, unsurprisingly, He was warmly received by the New World Legion lurking in various settlements.

Facing the "civilian armed forces" who appeared out of nowhere, with poor training and equipment, but with high fighting enthusiasm and morale, Borre Levant was calm.

He had only heard from some of the "loyalists" who stayed in Black Reef Harbor not long ago. During the colonial rebellion, Bernard Morwes, who besieged Black Reef Harbor, had just bloodied the entire periphery of Black Reef Harbor. After going through it, it basically reached the point where all humans and animals died, and no chickens and dogs were left.

In addition, when Arthur Hereid broke the Grey Dove Castle, he was almost dragged to death by a girl who is said to be the leader of the Free Confederation... New hatred and old hatred, the locals of Black Reef Harbor must be able to warmly welcome their imperial crusade. , that's the real ghost.

Sure enough, Bo Lei soon got the information, and suddenly a large number of "riot armed forces" of different sizes, dozens or nearly a hundred, ambush everywhere, intercepting the supply teams and patrols of the Mujahideen Army, and even blatantly. Set fire to farmsteads on the outskirts of town, burning farmhouses and arable land, and looting markets and warehouses.

Therefore, Bolly Levant, who had just finished a battle, not only could not let the army rest, but also had to suppress the rebellion immediately, otherwise the jihadist army under his command would not be able to keep up with the supplies.

But compared with these foreign invaders, the New World Legion is obviously more familiar with the local terrain, and can even get the help of some colonists. It is impossible for a small army to catch up; before they arrive at the scene, they have already scattered , disappeared without a trace.

After repeated tossing for dozens of times, the devastated Borre Levent simply gave up his plan to conquer the outer colonies, and simply defended the town and the surrounding manor. Interests, I just want to hurry up and transport some supplies, preferably with reinforcements.

As a result, when he asked, he realized that he was not the only one who was unlucky.

The first person to encounter a similar situation, of course, was Arthur Herreid, who also won the credit for breaking the city. Gray Pigeon Castle is an inland colony. If Sail City wants to send supplies to him, it can only be transported by river and land, and part of the way is definitely not safe. of the mountains.

As a result, the tribes of indigenous peoples who had not been seen since the Colonial War of Independence, which had been very quiet before, actually began to riot again.

Poor Arthur was alone in Castle Grey, surrounded by mountains. His subordinates were the half-staffed Mujahideen and the aid provided by Ludwig. The occupied colonies were under attack all the time; The fire-fighting captain rushes back and forth between a dozen colonies scattered among the hills, mountains and forests every day, and has not slept for a day since winning the battle.

At this time, if only Yangfan City was peaceful and peaceful, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from others; therefore, under Ludwig's secret instigation, the Knights of No Faith contacted the liberals in the city and set off riots and strikes in the mines and farms in the northern region. The mine workers and tenant farmers took up shovels and hoes in protest, demanding that Sail City be returned to the real governor, Louis Bernard.

In the face of the letter of help from Bo Lei Lewent, the commanders of the three major legions gathered in Yangfan City suppressed the riot, and warned Bo Lei not to cause trouble recently, let alone attack without authorization, so that the situation will continue to deteriorate.

Boley Levant is about to cry but has no tears. He can't even get out of Black Reef Harbor. How can he still have the ability to attack?

But he didn't know that although the legion was in a dilemma, the officers headed by the knights of the Levant family made a lot of money. It was really through the holy war that they realized the double harvest of life value and wealth freedom.

They used the acquired territory as a warehouse, and sold the arms of the Mujahideen Army to the New World Corps at a high price in batches; every time the goods were sold, they immediately ordered the army commander to "go out to suppress bandits". Whether they succeeded or failed, they could make excuses. Lose a lot of supplies, then apply for aid.

Well, why are you saying that the Mujahideen can't always catch and kill the attackers of the supply team? Because this is an attack on the surface, in fact it is simply a customer picking up the goods; not to mention the attackers, they even know which colony settlement these people will retreat to after intercepting, UU reading www. uukanshu.com 100% ensures the safety of customers and goods.

As for the most puzzling thing for Boley Levent, why every time the enemy can loot the warehouse, of course, because the warehouse itself is empty, the goods have been transferred long ago; the New World Corps attack was just a pretense, Giving these mujahideen officers an excuse to keep buying—basically, after-sales service.

With such a large-scale operation, it is of course impossible to completely conceal everyone, especially Yangfan City, which holds the power of supply; so the Levant knights, who are full of the spirit of "common prosperity", contacted a few of Yangfan City very early. The officers of the legion successfully opened up the upstream channel of the logistics system and realized a high degree of integration of the supply and demand system.

With the assistance of Ludwig, no matter how many supplies Borre Levent applied for, Sail City would give a discount and then approve it quickly; so that the trade between the two sides was already prosperous, and of course the legion commander was completely kept in the dark. , unaware.

A holy war of blood and fire was being staged in such a cruel and absurd way, and it came to the end of June silently.

There are still four months left before the winter when the snow falls.
