I Will Be The Crowned King

After leaving the tavern, Anson did not immediately go to the port area, but chose to wander aimlessly around, and at the same time used the characteristics of the conjurer to change the shape of the casting range, and controlled the position of the supernatural observation to be monitored outside the Redbeard Tavern.

If the other party immediately makes any big moves, it proves that he has just been exposed; if the other party still pretends that nothing happened, then there is a high probability that he is just being vigilant, and at most only found some abnormality.

Twenty minutes later, the tavern was still full of loud and lively noises, without any change.

A relieved Anson turned around and walked into the alley. He left the port area in the same direction as before, and walked towards the church in the parliamentary area.

Generally speaking, an ecumenical church is quite rudimentary - as the sect most opposed to the church, the ecumenical insists that the so-called rituals are extravagant gimmicks. Everyone can pray, and there is absolutely no need to make the "God's residence" the same as a palace.

But at the moment, this core stronghold maintained by the garrison corps has nothing to do with the "simple"; although the time is not long, the storm division is still able to transform it as much as possible under the premise of limited conditions - a towering post The tower, surrounded by a parapet wall with anti-climbing nails, a fence for blocking the road...

It's like "upgrading" the building in the game, except for the general shape, it is difficult to connect this building with a history almost as long as the Beluga Harbor.

Fabien and Karl have even planned to buy the house around the church, tear it down and build a small arsenal in the open space, quarters for the city patrol, arrest room, interrogation room, and underground prison cell, completely destroying the church. Build it into a small fort that can control most of the city.

One of the two has no experience in managing public security at all, and the other is only good at violent law enforcement and arrest and interrogation.

Walking into the church, the hall originally used for prayer has been transformed into a semi-open office, and even a special rest area and reception area have been drawn.

Due to the lack of manpower and the fact that this place was originally a church, the headquarters also assumed half of the responsibilities of a court, and spent most of the time dealing with trivial "civil disputes", ranging from extortion and pickpocketing to neighborhood relations. within the jurisdiction of the Storm Division.

Pushing the door into Carl Bain's room, looking at the chief of staff who was processing documents with two dark circles under his eyes, Anson said without courtesy:

"Send one to the port area, and I found the whereabouts of the Knights of No Faith."

The stunned Carl Bain stared blankly at Anson who had barged in without saying hello. He was stunned for a minute before he understood the meaning of the sentence just now:

"You finally plan to kill them all?"

"No, it's just monitoring for now." Anson sat down and took the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a glass:

"I've roughly figured out the location of their stronghold, and I've negotiated exchange conditions. What I have to do now is to prevent them from splitting up and causing commotion in Beluga Harbor."

Since the Faithless Knights are really related to the Crecy family, Anson certainly couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

Judging from the process of their internal negotiation, Ian Clemens, who claims to be the "leader of the "Untrustworthy Knights", does not have a decisive voice among his friends, and even needs to persuade and explain to others. There seems to be information in between that no one else has.

This proves that either their internal rank is distinct, or the Knights of the Faithless is not a strict organization, the source and identity of the members are more complicated, and they are only reluctantly maintaining unity for the same goal or reason, and they are not as unbreakable as they thought before.

The advantage of this relatively loose organization is that it is easy to destroy one by one, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult for you to reach an agreement with everyone in one go, and you may have to persuade them one by one.

"Let a platoon be stationed in the port area, and be vigilant that they should not move around, right?" Carl Bain understood, but at the same time he had a hint of concern:

"But won't they be used as a demonstration and provocation?"

"As long as there is a suitable enough excuse, it won't." Anson's mouth showed a smug arc:

"Let them be stationed near Weizler's mansion in the name of 'protecting Chairman Mason Weizler'; by the way, let the cavalry company also pass by to maintain the traffic in the port area - remember to bring those two cavalry guns ."

This is definitely a good excuse to kill two birds with one stone.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} On the one hand, you can use this to frighten the Faithless Knights, so that they don't dare to act rashly, and they feel that they can fight back.

On the other hand, this can also show his attitude to the whole Beluga Port, and let everyone know that Chairman Mason Weizler is "a good person that the garrison commander can absolutely trust". a brighter future.

"No problem - since I want to send a cavalry company, I'll let Lieutenant Jason lead the team." Carl shrugged and glanced at Anson, who was obviously a little too proud:

"Are you sure you want to negotiate with them?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you weren't like this before."

Carl stared straight at Anson: "I was almost killed last night, and today I want to make them my own... Have you made a mistake, my commander?"

"What's wrong... Isn't it always like this?" An Sen chuckled a few times:

"The fewer enemies, the better, and the more friends, the better - isn't that what we did to win the War of the Vast Land?"

"Yes, the premise is either to know the details of the opponent, or to be profitable, and to be able to withdraw anytime, anywhere." Carl said word by word:

"Like this, I didn't even know who the other party was, so I was in a hurry to make a move... The last time you did this was when you received a letter from Ludwig asking for help and had to storm the Iron Bell Fort."

Anson's expression froze.

Carl lowered his body and looked forward from behind the table, his expression suddenly became cautious: "Is there another reason?"

"...Yes." Anson lowered his voice so that only two people could hear it.

Carl paused for a while, and asked another question a little nervously: "Then... Is it better that I don't know?"

Anson nodded vaguely.

It's not that he doesn't trust Carl. In fact, it is precisely because the two have a tacit understanding that Anson wants to avoid letting him touch these things as much as possible; the less he knows, the safer he is, and most of the time it means literally.

Carl Bain also understands this, so he doesn't ask if he shouldn't ask; the occasional "cross-border" is also due to the job requirements of the chief of staff, not only responsible for the storm division, but also for Anson's whereabouts and . Know your security situation.

"By the way, there is one more thing." While Anson hadn't left, Carl took a document from the side:

"Bishop Ripper found me this afternoon, and he wants the Faithful Alliance to also participate in maintaining the security of Beluga Harbor - not just some simple supervision and publicity work, but also to let some people participate in patrols... the kind with weapons. "

"What do you think?" Anson took the document, but didn't open it immediately.

"I think it's a matter of time." Carl shrugged and said quite directly:

"If you want to manage a port city with tens of thousands of people, it is not enough to have one or two thousand people; it is good that there are fewer people on the streets in winter. Spring is almost here, and it will take up a lot of manpower just to maintain the security of the port. "

"This protest march is a particularly good example - without the cooperation of the Faithful Alliance and the clergy, the 2nd Corps and the cavalry company alone would not be able to keep thousands of people in order; even so, control the march The team also wastes a lot of our manpower, and several communities are almost empty except for the soldiers who stayed at the stronghold."

Hmm... This is a common problem in city management, An Sen frowned slightly.

The gathered population brings a rich labor and consumer market, which is also the basis for the rise of industry and commerce, but with it comes management problems; the scattered countryside can rely on autonomy and regular military patrols to solve most of the problems, densely populated cities It needs several times more manpower to provide sufficient security services to various communities anytime, anywhere.

Once the manpower is insufficient and management is neglected, violence and coercion must be taken when problems break out. Over time, it will be reduced to the same end as the guards... In this regard, the former guards officer Fabian definitely has a deep understanding.

Anson didn't intend to devote one-third or even half of the storm division to maintaining the city's law and order, but this was the basis for the existence of the storm division; not to mention that he managed to control the Beluga Harbor Council, so he really wanted to leave it alone. It is equivalent to returning the Parliament to Harold again.

Looking at it this way, it might be really impossible to divide the security authority of Beluga Harbor to Bishop Ripper... Wait.

An Sen's expression froze for a moment, "Clap!" he snapped his fingers.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} "What scumbag did you think of...I mean, the perfect plan?" Carl frowned.

"No, I just suddenly thought that we can actually completely hand over the patrol and security work to the Faithful Alliance." An Sen chuckled:

"The second corps has only 600 people, including the temporary supplementary cavalry company and Lisa's guard company, the strength is less than 1,000; this number of people is evenly spread across the entire Beluga Harbor, and it is barely enough to maintain daily law and order. It's just that it is difficult to act immediately in case of emergencies, and we still have to rely on reinforcements."

"If that's the case, then we'll simply shrink our forces and control only the core of each community church, plus the two most important communities, the port area and the parliament area, and the rest of the area is completely entrusted to the Faithful Alliance to manage. When there is an emergency, we will send reinforcements... What do you think?"

"I see?" Karl pointed to himself with a little surprise:

"This, of course, yes; but the Faithful Alliance has only a few hundred militiamen who have been trained for less than half a month. They pretend to patrol behind the soldiers, and they are barely able to handle daily errands. It really makes them Going to the street alone, and maintaining law and order, must be asking questions... ah!"

The chief of staff suddenly realized, stared at Anson with wide eyes: "Don't you just want them..."

"Exactly." An Sen nodded slightly and smiled even more proudly: "Since they want it so much, then we shouldn't be too stingy, just be more generous."

"As for whether there will be a problem? Well, we must wait until there is a problem to find out, don't you think?"

"That's absolutely right." Carl nodded seriously:

"I just thought that you suddenly had a kind heart and suddenly decided to be a good person - now it seems that I think too much."

"How could it be..." An Sen waved his hands again and again, his expression extremely sincere:

"I really think that since it is the city of Beluga Harbor, it should be managed by the people of Beluga Harbor - this is fair, and it is enough for our local army to maintain the minimum bottom line."

Carl Bain rolled his eyes.

In addition to waiting for the Faithful Alliance to make mistakes, and taking the initiative to hand over the security authority to beat and beat the Universal Emperor, An Sen also had a second-level idea.

That is to continue to widen and intensify the conflict between immigrants and indigenous peoples.

Originally, the Beluga Harbor Council was still under the control of Harold and others. Any initiative of the Storm Division could easily arouse the resentment of the colonies and make them unite; but now that the Council has been divided, the next step is to increase interests. Time to expand.

The first thing to do before expansion is to reach an internal consensus, provoke confrontation, and cause the entire colony to resent and hate the natives; if this kind of thing is to let the storm division come forward, it will be too rude and direct~www.wuxiamtl.com~ So let the trustworthy alliance It's more appropriate to do it.

And this is not a grievance for Bishop Ripper. Faith expansion and jihad are the ultimate vision of the entire ecumenical sect; he just accelerated the things he really wanted to do a little bit.

……………………

Port area, Redbeard Tavern, three in the morning.

Ian, who had put on a black trench coat and a half-top hat again, pushed the door and walked out of the kitchen, and found a seat in front of the bar very casually.

At this time, the tavern was deserted. Except for the drunkard and a few guests who were sleeping on the table, there were only messes everywhere.

The bartender who was wiping glasses in front of the bar quietly approached and put half a glass of dark rum in front of him.

Ian picked up the glass and didn't drink it. Instead, he approached the bartender and lowered his voice:

"Did anyone follow me in today?"

The bartender lowered his head and wiped his glass to hide his thoughtful expression. After a while, he said:

"no."

"But someone came to the door, hoping to hire the Knights of Untrustworthy."

"Hire us?"

Ian was stunned for a moment: "Who?"

The bartender didn't answer directly, but cautiously looked around to make sure he didn't notice them before lowering his voice:

"The other party didn't say it directly, but from the price he offered and the confidence he had when speaking, I guess he should be..."

"Speaker Harold!"
