I Will Be The Crowned King Chapter 438

The latest website: Although he looks full of confidence, at this moment, Bo Lei is in a very uneasy mood. Now he is like a traveler who is traveling on the cecum trail at night in order to take shortcuts; waiting for himself may be the end. Possibly an abyss.

But there is no way...because of the misjudgment of the situation at the beginning, coupled with the exclusion of Ludwig Franz, he was isolated by the Mujahideen Army. Although he still has the support from the Holy See, this support is limited, and it is necessary to paid the price.

In order to assemble a large enough jihadist army in the shortest time, the Holy See can be said to have done its best, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources at all costs to form these six legions, a jihadist army of more than 100,000 people.

In order to prevent the legions from various forces, conflicting or even enemies from disobeying the command, the Holy See also established a high command, using logistics and various support to pull the rope, and dispatching knights of adjudication to serve as "supervisor" management, but at the same time to The army commanders have great autonomy, in principle, they do not interfere with the military actions they decide, and try to win the goodwill of these army leaders with the attitude of "employing people without suspicion, but not using people who are suspicious".

Of course, it's not that they really don't want to interfere, it's just that the Holy See is forbidden to interfere in the secular world, and there are no talents with military experience. The only violent institution, the Inquisition, is more similar to the Inquisition, ruling that the Knights are only a thousand people. It is not enough to support and organize such a war of hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, giving the legion commanders autonomy is just a helpless compromise... The soldiers and lower-level officers may really be for their beliefs, but this group of commanders who can lead tens of thousands of battles is definitely not. The ghosts are contradicting each other; the Holy See even takes advantage of the fact that they don't like each other, so as to avoid their own headquarters from being completely empty.

Helpless want to take care of everything, but in the end, nothing is taken care of.

The so-called trust is in exchange for the military leaders to go their separate ways and to dismantle each other; the so-called supervising army is also because it is judged that the knights do not understand the operation of the army, or that some people have no supervising army at all through the exchange of interests, and thus become. A joke; I think I can rely on logistics and materials to contain it, but if I want to transport the materials out, I have to rely on the fleet and manpower sent from various parties, which is equivalent to making a wedding dress for others.

Just like now... Boley Levent boasted that he had the support of the High Command, and seemed to have the power of life and death. He accused the rest of the legion commanders of covering up heretics and heretics, but instead, he made himself shouted and beaten by the High Command. It seems that the other army commanders have not been rectified and abolished.

Not only that, because the Clovis was the first to take Sail City, and there was no follow-up nominal combat mission, it suddenly became the only army that could **** and **** materials for each legion, and the materials of the headquarters could be delivered to the army. Whoever holds it and how it is delivered is entirely what Ludwig Franz said, and he has become an unnamed "commander of the Mujahideen".

In the final analysis, the Holy See does not have its own army, and the jihadist army was made up entirely by the banner of "faith" and money. What kind of order is really issued, of course, the so-called "strategic planning" can only be an outline. When it comes to specific aspects, no one can say why.

On the contrary, the weaker Free Confederation has a relatively clear goal: to defeat the invading army of the Old World, maintain the system that has been established with great difficulty, and ensure that it will no longer be interfered and invaded.

And the Crusaders...

Thinking that you are fighting for faith, but the opposite is also under the banner of the ring of order; thinking that there is fertile territory and wealth waiting to be plundered, but what you get is a large area of ​​undeveloped wilderness and barren and broken small that need your own efforts. Town; thought that the enemy was vulnerable and would inevitably flee. Within two months of the war, the jihadist army had lost more than 10,000 people, and an experienced supervisor was also lost.

Not to mention the others, Borre Levant himself was lost.

However, he still clearly remembered his mission as the commander of the legion, and even more clearly that his mission was never to spread the teachings, but to occupy as much territory as possible for the Levant family; The strength that the rich and powerful family envy, but also has the trouble of not enough land, many conflicts between relatives, and **** infighting.

Land, no matter how barren land, as long as it can grow food or produce something, it will have a great temptation for the Levant family, and seizing them can ease internal conflicts; even if the final struggle for territory fails, those in the The guy who died in the war can also resolve the conflict naturally.

So even if he knew that his "greed" would arouse the wrath of the Mujahideen, even if he knew that this kind of fighting method was easy to be guarded by the enemy, and took the initiative to confront the pagan army head-on, Borey Levant still had to bite the bullet and continue to seize more more colonies, otherwise those relatives who didn't get the territory, or felt that they got too little, would not continue to support him, and turn to other guys who were willing to "serve everyone's welfare".

The advantage is that as long as he continues to seize the colonies controlled by the Free Confederacy, his blood-connected relatives are the best tools he can use and unconditionally obey any orders; especially those tasks that are more difficult and risky, can only be used. Count on these relatives.

So under the order of Boley Levent, the 20,000 scattered jihadist troops began to gradually gather and move towards the town of Straw; looking down from the dome, the "black spots" that were connected one by one kept shrinking and approaching. , forming an arc half enclosing Straw Town.

Even at this point, the Mujahideen Army still did not find any trace of the Storm Legion, and only wiped out the deserters of a small group of Shooting Army in the trail and pursuit, and most of them were defeated by them before.

This further strengthened Boley's previous judgment - the main force of the Storm Legion was either still on the way, or they were all assembled in Straw Town, wanting to fight a defensive counterattack in the inland colony to thwart their own attack.

After all, behind Straw Town is Grey Snow Town, the gateway to the land of Ice Dragon Fjord... I heard that Fernando is attacking Beluga Harbor. Once these two colonies are all lost, the entire Ice Dragon Fjord will be occupied, and the Free Confederation will be directly cut off. The only basic game left after Sail City, there is no retreat except for surrender.

So Anson Bach can give up Slave Harbor, but he must not give up Straw Town.

At the same time when the Mujahideen Army was marching towards Straw Town, Alexei, who was running all the way, led the 2nd Infantry Regiment, and the shooting troops gathered up on the way, had successfully completed the first half of his mission, that is, the arrival Outskirts of Slave Harbor.

Under the lead-grey dome, the roaring sea breeze raged on the land where the sun could not see the damp salt water. Looking around, the black sea water seemed to have merged with the sky, wrapping the whole world.

Looking at the Slave Hunting Port sandwiched between the ocean and the earth, everyone in the 2nd Infantry Regiment was exhausted and a little dazed... No battleship could be seen on the rough sea. Except for a few military flags, there were no soldiers patrolling around the town.

So... people?

Not having to face the Mujahideen right away, especially the Mujahideen fleet, seems like a good thing, but the 2nd Infantry Regiment is tasked with encircling and building fortifications around Chanu Harbor; now that the enemy is gone, what are they doing with the fortifications?

Several officers turned their heads to look at the silent Alexei, but the latter was also dumbfounded.

He still clearly remembers Anson Bach's oath at the military conference that his second infantry regiment and shooting corps mission is to attract the enemy's attention, and he must retake the extremely important landing point of Slave Port, absolutely. Cannot be controlled by the Mujahideen.

As a result, now as the bait, he was completely ignored by the enemy. The slave port, which could only be recaptured with great sacrifices, was also abandoned by the enemy at will, and there was no sign of sticking to it at all.

Could it be that the Commander-in-Chief made a mistake?

This idea flashed through Alexei's mind, and it was immediately thrown out of his mind... From the war in the Han soil to the retreat of Black Reef Harbor, although there have been many accidents, Anson Bach's plan has not yet appeared. Mistakes, even guessing the enemy's actions and targets wrong.

Half an hour later, the skirmishers who were in charge of reconnaissance wore camouflage turf and trot back all the way, excitedly reporting the situation in the town - the Bolei Legion had already left their nest two days ago, and the fleet in charge of mooring in the port returned to the black. Reef Harbor and Sail City asked for supplies, and it would take at least three to four days before they could return.

"Before they evacuated, they left a small three-masted gunboat and less than 200 soldiers to maintain order in the port of Chanu, half of them were sailors on the ship and half of them were soldiers of the Mujahideen Army; it turned out that those sailors were all Nake. Born in Hill Harbor, he is a fellow of the liberals of Slave Harbor!"

With the excited voice, the breathless scout rained down sweat on his forehead: "So they bribed the sailors, joined them to get the weapons on the ship, and then used the name of the banquet to bring a hundred people away. The jihadist army deceived the parliament, and simply wiped it out!"

"In order to avoid retaliation, the Slave Port Liberals just killed the soldiers, but did not immediately remove the flag of the jihadist army, pretending to be still under the control of the jihadist army; the sailors who were bought had already joined some of the jihadist army who voluntarily surrendered. Together, we sailed to Nakhir Kingdom."

"When I was reconnaissance, I happened to meet a member of the Autonomous Council. He told me all these things. He also dragged me to keep asking if the New World Legion had arrived, when can they enter the city, and more than 10,000 slaves were captured. The people of Hong Kong are all looking forward to it, and they are willing to swear to death and guard the slave port together with the legion."

"What, you actually took the initiative to contact outsiders, isn't this exposing the whereabouts of our army?!"

"A member of the Autonomous Council...has his identity been confirmed, and have he obtained evidence? How do you know that he is not a jihadist pretending to be a jihadist army, or a whistleblower on both sides at the same time, and what he said would not be a trap deliberately designed by the enemy. ?!"

"Yes, this is a trap!"

Before he finished speaking, the officers immediately jumped out and scolded the scout for being "reckless", but their eyes remained on Alexei's body carefully, and their eagerness was not too obvious.

After so many days of rushing marches, anyone would want to rest in a town with walls, fireplaces, beds, boiling water and hot food, even if the town could be bombed by gunboats at any moment.

Of course, Alexei could see what these people were thinking, but he still clearly remembered that Norton and Anson Bach had said that the town of Slave Port was easy to attack and difficult to defend; If the Second Infantry Regiment really settled in, it would have to take on the task of protecting the town and its residents, which meant that it was **** here.

So is the 2nd Infantry Regiment capable of holding the town right now?

No, so you must not agree to the parliament's request, but if you refuse directly, it will obviously dampen the morale of the army that has just been marching for a few days, and it will also arouse the disgust of the liberals in the port of slavery. There will be a backlash.

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly raised his hand to stop the surrounding officers, and looked at the scout who was speechless and aggrieved: "Do you still remember the appearance of that congressman?"

"Remember! And I have also confirmed that he is indeed a member of the Slave Port Council!" The scout who caught the opportunity quickly clarified for himself, and said eagerly: "Not only that, I also..."

"I believe in you!" Alexey said stealthily, patted the cavalry's shoulder heavily:

"So I need you to do one thing now - go to the port of slavery and tell the members of the parliament that the second step... No, it is the New World Legion, and it will not be stationed in the town."

"But! We will be stationed outside the town and build fortifications on the periphery to guard against the re-attack of the imperial invaders who have left; therefore, we hope that the port of slavery can provide us with food, tools, weapons and ammunition and other supplies."

Before he finished speaking, the surrounding officers changed their expressions one after another, and the scouts who had gained their trust were quite excited, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com stood up without hesitation and ran towards the town again following the bunker.

"Captain, we..."

"No need to say anything, I understand what everyone means."

Raising his hand to stop the subordinates who wanted to step forward, Alexei's eyes still focused on the back of the scout: "After four or five days of fatigue, who doesn't want to find a place where they can take a good rest without the wind and rain? , eat fresh hot food?"

"But don't forget, the Slave Port is a port after all. Even if Boley Levent is not there, the rest of the jihadist army may attack here at any time and be stationed in a town without danger. That is the end of being caught in the urn. "

"If that's the case, then we..."

"In this case, let's follow the commander-in-chief's orders one by one and execute them!" Alexei said sternly: "Gather up the shooting troops that fled in the direction of Chanu Port, dig trenches on the spot, and prepare to fight."

"It's just that the direction of the battle may have to be changed..."
