I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 429: slave port

Latest website: Staring at the commander-in-chief in front of him who said nothing, Carl's expression was quite nervous, his slightly trembling hands were clenched into fists, and the sweat from his palms kept spilling out of his fingers, leaving two obvious streaks of water on the table. stains.

As the Chief of Staff of the Storm Legion and the de facto head of the General Staff of the New World Legion, he knew all too well how much the Free Confederation had at the moment; once the enemy attacked from three directions at the same time, it was really only a matter of time before the rout.

Besides, the army of 60,000... Now the total strength of the new continental army is less than 50,000, and there are two-thirds of the atmosphere group. It is wishful thinking to expect them to fight independently to block the enemy.

Since we cannot hold all of them, we must consider continuing to implement the flexible defense plan, retreating and advancing, and only stick to one or two goals.

So if you want to keep it, where should you keep it?

There is no doubt that Beluga Port cannot be abandoned at this stage. Red Hand Bay has a defense system that is almost completed, and it seems to be able to keep it. Slave Port is the farthest away. It is 100% impossible to be faster than the fleet of the Bolei Legion.

It seems that Slave Harbor is the most suitable to be abandoned, but if you want to hold the Ice Dragon Fjord defense line, it is the last thing that can't be thrown away immediately!

Carl's heart was infinitely entangled at this time. As the troops of the Mujahideen gradually gathered, the troops of the New World Legion became more and more stretched; one or two directions were fine.

Interacting with the terrified adjutant, An Sen, who received this information, was calm, even quite... puzzled.

Whether it attacked multiple targets at the same time, or the Bore Legion tried to attack the empty eastern front of the Confederacy, he expected it, because he would probably do the same thing himself - since the troops are several times the enemy's strength, why? Gathering the army in the same direction, squeezing logistics and doing a bunch of useless work?

What he really didn't understand was that Ludwig specifically told himself this information and why.

If it is only the direction of the enemy's attack, the sentinels of the New World Legion can obtain relevant information as well as the scouts. He even arrived two days earlier than Ludwig's intelligence about the departure of the Borre Legion from the Black Reef Harbor, and set sail for the holy war in the city. The movement of the army is one-way transparent to the New World Corps.

In contrast, Ludwig's status is very critical, and it is no exaggeration to be called the "core ally" of the New World Legion. It is not worth taking risks on this kind of information.

It is impossible for Major General Ludwig to not know this, so why on earth did he do this?

The Bolei Legion seems to have been isolated and out of control, so it will not cooperate with the rest of the Mujahideen's military operations against Red Hand Bay and Beluga Harbor. Previously, the Mujahideen deployed a large amount of arms to be stored in Black Reef Harbor for the next stage of operations. These The supplies were resold to themselves by the officers of the Bolei Legion, so...

The jihadist army that attacked Beluga Harbor and Red Hand Bay was probably not ready for battle at all? !

Ansen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly understood Ludwig's intention.

Respected Major General Clovis, his beloved old boss... The purpose of his information is not to remind him, but to spread the fact that he "has mastered the information of the Mujahideen Army"!

Eighty percent of the jihadists in Yangfan City had some kind of conflict, or they were urged by the church to send troops as soon as possible; Ludwig could not intervene to stop them, so he used this method to make the jihadist army give up the plan for a quick attack.

The plans for the battle were leaked before it even started, and unless the Mujahideen was really serious, the operation would definitely be canceled—at least with a change of objectives.

The 100,000-strong army led the whole body, and the attack plan made by temporarily modifying the plan must be hastily and chaos to the extreme.

Seize this opportunity, the New World Legion can be undisturbed and concentrate on defeating and annihilating the isolated Bolei Legion!

After he figured out the problem, Anson was not in a hurry to tell the adjutant who was still sweating profusely - this was just his own guess after all, what if Ludwig suddenly became upright?

After weighing the pros and cons, he picked up the letter on the table and played with it, and said to Carl:

"This information... have you told Louis?"

"Ah? Not yet..." The chief of staff (adjutant) was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded: "Is there a problem?"

Anson nodded solemnly.

"This kind of thing may not be used to... But our immediate boss is not the Royal Army, but the Marshal of the New World Legion. In a strict sense, he is the first person in charge of your chief of staff. No matter how high my ranking is Only second place…”

"As long as it doesn't involve some secrets that can't be told, all the information should at least be given to him at the same time, and cannot be transferred from me; some things can be done, but it's better not to be too obvious."

Anson is not worried that honest people will have grudges, but it is not him but Louis who can unite the entire New World Legion. If even the dignified Marshal is only a nominal decoration, how long can the entire Legion be united?

"...I understand." The chief of staff took a deep breath, his face became a little dignified at night: "In this way, I will let the little secretary transcribe a copy for you, and I will take the original and give it to Louis in person."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, you can just take it away."

Anson waved his hand and said that when Carl entered the door, he had already swept over the entire letter with "ability".

The chief of staff nodded slightly and didn't ask much. He took the letter from An Sen and put it in his arms, turned his head and walked out of the house.

Just as he was about to open the door, he felt an astonishing force coming towards him. It felt as if a steam train was moving at full speed and pressed straight into his face.

The chief of staff, who was too late to be shocked, decisively pulled out his hand, relied on years of battlefield intuition and decisively dodged to the right rear, turned around, held his head, and squatted down, all in one go.

Just as he completed the full set of movements, the loud sound of piercing the eardrum exploded instantly.

"boom-!"

The heavy oak door let out a whimper like a dying cub, and smashed a solid bullet-like mark on the wall.

And the culprit of all this is still unaware... The young knight rushed into the room, and in Anson's stunned eyes, he slapped a letter identical to the one just now on the table:

"Anson, look at what this is - we may be facing an enemy on three sides!"

…………

Obviously, some people are purely self-indulgent - as the governor of Sail City, the heir to the Bernard family, Louis does not lack his personal connections and intelligence network in the new world, and he does not need the point provided by some curvy and loyal guys. used information.

Even Louis has more detailed information. Even the commander's name is clear about the formation of the corps that attacked Red Hand Bay and Beluga Harbor.

"Fernando Legion Commander... I have had a relationship with this knight who is a side member of the Herid royal family."

In the not-so-spacious map room, Louis, who was still nervous, frowned.

Carl, who was sitting next to him, was even more trembling, with a look of lingering fears, obviously stimulated.

"I don't know what you Clovis people think of him, but Fernando is really not that kind of outstanding general, but his unparalleled loyalty to His Majesty Herrede. No matter what orders His Majesty gives him, they will be executed without compromise. "

"As for his ability to lead the army... My father once had a disrespectful evaluation. For Fernando, there is no difference between commanding five thousand knights and five thousand goats."

"Hey?"

The chief of staff, who was still frightened just now, was stunned for a moment: "I don't respect him, why do I think this is complimenting him?"

"You can also think so, depending on what angle you judge from." Anson shrugged:

"The compliment is that even if you only give him five thousand goats, the Fernando army commander can command them to fight."

"What about the derogatory ones?" Carl was suddenly curious.

"The derogatory meaning is that even if you give him five thousand knights, the strength displayed is no different from that of five thousand goats - this is an extremely stable commander, in various senses."

"…"

"My father is of a similar opinion, often referring to General Fernando as 'His Majesty's Shepherd'." Louis nodded slightly, agreeing:

"But even if he is really mediocre, the jihadist army he led this time is also the elite of the empire in a hundred battles. Even if he is not acclimatized in the new world, he must not be underestimated; you must know that even your Clovis' standing army has more than If you drink hatred and break a halberd in front of him once, and you underestimate the enemy, something will really happen!"

"Besides, he is not an independent leader this time. In addition to His Majesty, there is the church behind him, as well as the headquarters established by the church and the supervisors sent by the Knights of Judgment." The young knight said solemnly:

"General Fernando's biggest problem is that he is too cautious, and it can even be called cowardly; but if there is an order from His Majesty and the Church, he can also be braver than all the leaders."

"There are only two possibilities for him to attack the Ice Dragon Fjord - nothing will happen, or regardless of the consequences, an attack that will not stop at all costs!"

A heavy warning sound echoed in the ears of the three.

Well, that's why Louis not only knows about the Headquarters, but also knows that the Knights of Judgment have sent supervisors to all legions... Anson secretly thought that Ludwig had never mentioned this.

This shouldn't be intentional, but he really didn't know that Colonel Roman, who was in charge of connecting with the Faithless Knights, didn't know the existence of the Judgment Knights, which proved that the church really did not put people in Ludwig's legion.

If it is not for ulterior motives, it can only be that Archbishop Luther and the Holy See made some transactions, so that Clovis's Crusaders maintain a high degree of independence and are not infiltrated by the Knights of Judgment.

"It's the configuration of the legion in the direction of Red Hand Bay, which surprised me a little."

Just when Anson was deep in thought, the worried Louis said again: "The striker is Legion Arthur, but the commander-in-chief turned out to be Major General Ludwig."

"Do you mean that the army commanders of the empire are willing to share the military exploits of capturing Red Hand Bay after they handed over Sail City to the Clovis?" Carl guessed.

"There are some reasons for this, but not the main one." The young knight shook his head:

"Arthur, I understand, but with his character, unless he is completely convinced and trusts someone from the heart, he will never allow the other person to be above himself."

"Not even you?"

The chief of staff was skeptical.

"Not even me." Louis said in a more serious tone: "As a friend, there is no more loyal partner than him, and the price is that you can't go beyond, or force him to do anything - it can only be that he treats you like this."

While speaking, Anson and Carl looked at each other quietly.

Obviously, he still doesn't know what happened between Ludwig and Arthur - Clovis's major general has used his rich experience and resume to completely surrender the Empire's "Dragon Roar" to his feet.

Otherwise, apart from the sacrifice of Paulina, there would be no perfect Battle of Grey Pigeon Castle.

But in any case, since the commander-in-chief of the attack on Red Hand Bay is Ludwig, then there is nothing to worry about, and the only remaining ones are Slave Harbor and Beluga Harbor.

Anson does not intend to give up either of these two places, and even Red Hand Bay is not ready to give it to the Mujahideen easily; the initial process of strategic retreat has ended, and it is time to exchange blood for land.

The 60,000 Crusaders... don't even think about encircling the Ice Dragon Fjord without letting them pay at least half of the casualties.

This is not only to weaken the arrogance of the Crusaders and let the other party dispel the delusion of "ending the war before winter", but also to let the allies see clearly the strength of their own, the New World Legion, and be more proactive to add to Emperor Herid and the Holy See.

Otherwise, if the New World Legion will collapse at the touch of a button, it will continue to collapse without even fighting, and it will not even have the most basic united front value. Why do you expect those people to not join the at least seemingly invincible jihadist army, but put their chips on themselves?

Therefore it is necessary to attack, even at a considerable cost; the most tragic victory is ten thousand times stronger than the most glorious defeat.

So on July 5, 102 of the Saint Calendar, the New World Legion officially announced its battle plan - 50,000 Legions, the main force of UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com was led by Marshal Louis, guarding the Red Hand Bay.

The deputy commander of the Storm Legion, Fabian, led a grenadier regiment of 10,000 shooting troops, stationed in Beluga Harbor, to meet the attacking Fernando Crusaders.

Anson was in charge of commanding the remaining Storm Corps, with a total of 12,000 shooting corps of 5,000, and rushed to the port of capture slaves to resist the attack of the Bolei Corps.

In order to confirm the speculation, this time Anson tried to persuade Louis and the entire staff that the intelligence was not concealed, on the grounds that it was impossible - it is impossible not to know how many enemies we have. If such a large-scale move is to be concealed, it will only make Our own soldiers were not mentally prepared.

So following the gossip from all sides, the rumors and the newspaper "Beluga Harbor Good Man", the actions of the New World Corps were spread throughout most of the New World, and the entire Free Confederation was shouting excitedly, gearing up to avenge Miss Paulina.

Outside the port of Black Reef, Ludwig, who was holding the side of the boat, handed the newspaper in his hand to Arthur behind him, holding back his excited expression, which was extremely solemn:

"Our actions exposed."
