I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 186: March to Sail City!

,

"The colony of Yangfan City, since the beginning of two hundred years ago, has been the most important part of the empire's rule of the new world!"

In the Black Reef Harbor Council Hall, Anson Bach, who was wearing a gray long-sleeved trench coat and a colonel, stood on the stepped rostrum, tapped the map of the new world behind him with a command knife, and shouted to the audience.

In front of him, a group of Confederate deputies, militia officers and even the mercenary regiments who joined the Confederacy took the initiative to sit in the seat, looking at the very confident figure on the stage with different expressions:

"The reason why the original colonists landed here and successfully established this port is hard to say; but we can still notice that during the period, countless colonies rose and fell, one after another. The city is the foundation of the new world!"

The impassioned voices echoed under the vault for a long time, while the stand was dead silent; the Confederate senators and officers, who seemed to have not reacted, lowered their voices and discussed in their respective corners.

"Reminiscing about the early spring of this year, the three colonies of Changhu Town, Beluga Port, and Gray Pigeon Fort jointly issued the "Declaration of Resistance".

An Sen slowly paced to the center of the rostrum, Ling Lie's eyes swept to the audience: "In May, representatives of all parties gathered in Winter Torch City again to establish a confederation under the fire of the imperial people, and tens of thousands of troops gathered in Red Hand Bay, The confrontation with the Empire at Black Reef Harbor is unprecedented!"

The heavy military boots slammed on the bluestone floor, and the harsh notes echoed throughout the hall.

The soldiers of the guard company guarding both sides of the hall got the signal and quickly opened the closed side door; dozens of Storm Division officers who had been waiting outside immediately rushed in.

Before the Confederate Congressmen could be surprised, these guys in red and black uniforms, fully armed from head to toe, filled the three rows behind the stands at a lightning-quick speed. Sha Bach even found a seat by the aisle to sit down, like a girl entering the theater for the first time.

The members who had dared to speak in a low voice were either confused or panicked; especially the members of the Black Reef Harbor who stayed behind during the siege before, were even more frightened, for fear that the commander-in-chief would repeat the previous incident.

"I do not understand!"

While the atmosphere in the hall was gradually becoming uneasy, Anson on the stage was still talking:

"I don't understand! To this day, why are people still discussing building a defense line in Grey Pigeon Castle and demarcating the empire, as if this sailing city is doomed to us, and the army will repeat the same fate as the empire in the dark. The mistakes of Jiaogang, the vision of independence and the idea of ​​freedom, fall short!"

"As early as the "Declaration of Resistance", we have made an oath to completely remove the cancer of the Empire in the new world; to unite all the colonists who long for freedom and independence, and build a country of mutual equality and common prosperity; what happened? In front of him, everyone started to back down again, backed up, and made up their minds to surrender?"

The more An Sen spoke, the more excited he became. The tip of the command knife in his hand slammed on the location of Heijiao Harbor on the map: "Just a month ago, I set out from Winter Torch City and personally took the lead in sending troops to support Heijiao Harbor. The Confederate front was preserved by the defeat of Bernard Morwis, the Chancellor of the Imperial Colonies."

"Now that the main force of the Storm Division has arrived at the Black Reef Harbor, and the legions of all Confederates have gathered here, the realm of vitality and all things is happening right in front of you!"

"At this time of day, there are still people who suspect that the Storm Division will stop at Grey Dove Castle, regard the Empire as a flood and beasts, and regard Yangfan City as the burial place of the Confederacy?!"

The long knife raised above his head was like an order to attack, and with the whistling sound of tearing the air, he swung down heavily with Anson's arm:

"Anyway, Gray Pigeon Castle has been won now - including Beluga Harbor and Gray Snow Town in Ice Dragon Fjord, the strength of the two sides is seven to one, and the advantage is mine!"

"Okay!"

Almost as soon as Ansen's words fell, the girl with the yellow peach canned stains all over her face immediately shouted, and her two little hands clapped vigorously with a "Clap!"

The officers of the storm division, who were sitting in danger, immediately straightened their waists, looked straight ahead, their arms were slightly bent in front of their chests, as if a switch had been turned on, and they all began to clapp their hands; The platoon was startled, and many people almost fell off their chairs.

The Confederate members looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and they had to join the "applause army" piece by piece.

In an instant, there was thunderous applause.

The whole thing happened so suddenly that most of them haven't figured out the situation even now, just being led by the nose of the commander-in-chief of the Storm Division.

In particular, the officers of the Storm Division and the representative of the Northland Chamber of Commerce, Reinhard Roland, couldn't understand why Ansen Bach, who had planned to "take the Grey Dove Castle, was a success", suddenly made up his mind to do it. Have you conquered Sail City?

No one knows, but the commander-in-chief has made up his mind, and everyone can only do it, not to mention that all the preparatory plans and marching routes are ready-made-involving plans that affect the strategic trend, An Sen in this situation alone has done three things. All of them can't be counted as two hands, what is a "perfect plan"!

As for the members of the Confederacy, their attitude towards Yangfan City was very contradictory: they both hoped that the largest colony of the empire could join them and enhance the strength of the Confederacy; they also worried that the opponent would be too powerful, which would affect the balance of power that they had finally achieved, and the gains outweighed the losses.

For this kind of "country" jointly established by local factions, clans, and industrial owners, expansion and division will lead to an imbalance of internal interests; sometimes it is better to surrender or not expand to maintain the overall status quo, but also to avoid the balance being broken.

In response to the decision, he was very uncertain about whether to continue marching westward, and he was even very hesitant to retake Blue Pigeon Castle; and Anson also needed to get their consent to implement his plan as much as possible.

After all, without the support of these cannon fodders... these Confederate friendly forces, the cost of relying on the Storm Division to besiege Sail City and Bernard's imperial army alone would be too great.

Of course, the Confederacy is not monolithic, and there are also forces with damaged interests that firmly support the recovery of Yangfan City.

"That's right!"

A clear and childish cry suddenly sounded in the front row of the stands.

There was a commotion among the Confederate members present, and countless eyes turned to the leader of Grey Pigeon Castle liberals, Paulina Frey, who suddenly stood up and hugged the manuscript of the "Declaration of Resistance" tightly in his arms.

The girl pursed her lips tightly, raised her head, and looked at Anson Bach on the stage with longing eyes, like a mad believer looking at her **** and the savior:

"The Free Confederation is not based on a certain noble blood, but upholds the belief of freedom and independence, an ideal land established for the pioneers who have this belief."

"Since this is the case, then the influence of imperial power in the new world will not be eliminated for a day, and its footsteps will not stop for a day; everyone, do you remember the promise you made in the "Declaration of Resistance"?"

Paulina's voice rose again, resounding through the vault: "I will do my best to fight the enemy country by all means, resist the imperial invasion, and never abandon the land that burns with the fire of freedom, until the new world has no more gold. The irises can bloom!"

"This is our promise, and Grey Dove Castle will live up to its promise!"

"From now until the imperial army is completely destroyed, or the flag of the blue-bottomed star ring is erected in the city of sailing, the liberals of Grey Dove Castle will not claim control of Grey Dove Castle, and will be temporarily fully handed over to the commander-in-chief of the Storm Division, the Free Legion. General Staff Anson Bach."

"During this period, as long as Grey Pigeon Fort is restored, it will be used as an outpost for the Free Legion's attack on Sail City, open to you unconditionally; all supplies, land and buildings will be used as military supplies."

"As long as the imperial army can be completely swept away, even if the entire Grey Dove Castle is reduced to scorched earth, we...willingly!"

"Okay!"

Lisa Bach, who was sitting in the back three rows, shouted, and with the uniform movements of the officers of the Storm Division, the entire hall burst into thunderous applause again.

Paulina, who was holding the "Declaration of Resistance", gave Anson an affectionate look and sat down; the rest of the Confederate members around, especially the Speakers of the Colonial Parliament, frowned and their expressions were gloomy.

Of course they knew about Paulina Frey...or what the Grey Dove Liberals were up to.

In any case, wanting to regain the Grey Dove Castle occupied by the Empire is destined to be a fantasy with their own strength, and they must rely on the strength of the Storm Division; the so-called "donation of Grey Pigeon Castle" is just a verbal donation.

And once Sail City becomes independent, Grey Pigeon Castle, as an inland colony, can immediately get a nearby strong aid, which is definitely a **** profit for the weakest and weakest in the Confederacy.

But even if it is known that the other party is acting with Anson Bach, there is really no reason to refute such good reasons and excuses; at the same time, Paulina also pointed out the core of the Free Confederation, or the Achilles heel.

That is, it is not based on the blood or inheritance of a certain family, but is forcibly shaped by the "superior people" of the colony who talk to themselves and use the illusory vision of "independence" and "freedom".

This is not only because of the non-existent history of the colonies, but also from the fact that the driving force for their unity was not so strong in the beginning.

But now that the possibility of defeating the empire and even independence is imminent, they certainly cannot give up this hard-earned country that belongs to them.

And this requires them to abide by the vision when the Confederacy was founded, or lose the only goal that can unite the majority, and this incomparably fragile state will immediately fall apart.

It is because of this that the Confederacy dare not easily oppose Anson Bach - of course, the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Storm Division is also one of the reasons.

"Thanks to Miss Paulina Frey and all the liberals of Grey Dove Castle for their kindness. It is because of your selfless dedication that the cause of the Confederacy can flourish and prosper!"

Putting away the command knife, An Sen pretended to be indifferent and chuckled: "Using this opportunity, I just happen to announce to you the good news that just came from the front line."

"On June 3, 101 of the saint's calendar, the advance army of our Storm Division at the border of Grey Pigeon Castle successfully took over the local roads, villages, towns, manors, fortresses and cities occupied by the empire from the hands of the empire on the morning of that day. "

"As of June 5th, the whole of Grey Pigeon Castle has been completely restored, and there is no more golden iris flag!"

While speaking, Anson took out the information from his jacket pocket and raised it suddenly above his head.

In the next second, the members of the Confederacy, who were still in conflict, exploded in place!

"What, Grey Pigeon Castle has been conquered?!"

"Impossible, this... how is this possible?!"

"What happened?!"

"Ho, even Grey Pigeon Castle..."

Shock, ecstasy, questioning... Countless voices collided constantly between the dome and the surrounding walls; the Confederate members who erupted into a fierce quarrel contrasted sharply with the dead silence in the back three rows.

Well, except for a certain girl who clapped her hands again.

And Ansen Bach on the podium was still calm, as if he just said a trivial matter.

The noisy discussion lasted for more than ten minutes, until the speakers of the colonies finally reacted and interrupted everyone's shouting quickly; the hall returned to silence, but once the restless heart was stirred up, it could not be easily suppressed .

Looking at the eager, restless eyes below the stage, An Sen slightly raised the corners of his mouth:

"It seems that you all want to know what happened... right?"

No one spoke, and everyone held their breaths.

"Although the 2,000 advance troops are the elite of the Storm Division, the hope of capturing a colony and city as big as Grey Pigeon Castle from the 8,000 Imperial Army is still very slim." An Sen said solemnly:

"So it wasn't through battle, but the Imperial Army voluntarily gave up Grey Dove Castle, surrendering the entire colony to the vanguard who always faced them."

Um?

This baffling answer made the Confederates frown~www.wuxiaspot.com~ even more confused.

"Then why did the Empire choose to abandon Grey Pigeon Castle and take the initiative to retreat to Sail City?" Anson directly expressed their inner doubts:

"The reason is very simple, because not long ago, the liberals in Yangfan City had joined forces with some of their sympathetic troops, and the uprising was a success while the imperial army was besieging Black Reef Harbor!"

"The base camp of the imperial army is now an independent city; the colonial governor they support is the heir of the Berrin family in Adelaide, Louis Bernard!"

"Now they are besieged by the imperial army because of the success of the uprising, and the prosperous and powerful Yangfan City is at stake. They are waiting for their like-minded people to go and defeat the governor of the imperial colony, Bernard Morwes, who has been desperate."

An Sen looked at the audience and finally showed a slightly amused expression:

"Now, who else wants to oppose the Xiangyangfan City plan?"
