I Will Be The Crowned King - Vol 5 Chapter 11

At the moment when the explosion sounded, Fu Laura, who was still immersed in the excitement of “the plan succeeded”, didn’t even realize the abnormality behind her, until she saw the panicked cheeks of the teenager and the light flashing in the boy’s hole, she finally realized that it seemed to happen. what. The flames that destroyed everything poured into the stained glass windows, dissolved together with the surrounding walls, and swept toward them who were panicking; the two inexperienced even forgot to escape, one tried to pounce to block the girl, but his feet were broken. Ma, the other simply forgot that he was still alive, and froze in place without looking back. It was at this moment that the girl saw a sudden flashing figure in Beckland’s child hole, wearing a clean and tidy black and red military uniform, blocking them from the sea of ​​​​fire. “Stay there, don’t move!” Along with the figure’s angry shout, a translucent barrier opened like an umbrella in front of him, separating the fire from the corridor behind him; no matter how filial the flames roared, approaching will disappear in an instant. In Fu Laura’s eyes, the figure that blocked the sea of ​​​​fire with just one hand seemed to be on the stage of the theater, and countless lights were aimed at his back… It perfectly matched her expectations for the sublimation at the top of the atmosphere. The heroic debut at the critical moment, although old-fashioned, isn’t old-fashioned a synonym for classic? The only regret is probably that the other party is not the “male protagonist” of this drama, but is probably a tool person “for some reason, who happened to reach out to rescue”, which makes Fu Laura a little disappointed; such a crucial occasion gives the role to others , directly wasted a heaven-sent opportunity for emotional sublimation between the male and female protagonists! “You two, stop being stupid, run!” The flames dissipated, and Norton Crosell, who had withdrawn from the “dust-free place”, had no time to recover his breath, and looked nervously at Beckland and did not know where he was coming from. The girl who appeared: “Go to the banquet hall and stay with everyone. Assassins should not dare to approach there for the time being.” “Remember, you must stay in a crowded place, but don’t get too close to the crowd; any Be wary of anyone you try to get close to – remember I’m talking about anyone, including…some people you know!” He had meant to say “servants in the mission”, but then thought that would make them more fearful and more fearful. Outside of being nervous, it doesn’t seem to be of any use, so I can only temporarily change my tune. The frightened little Beckland nodded, hurriedly got up from the chair, and dragged the somewhat reluctant Fu Laura to the other end of the corridor. It wasn’t until they were far away that the commander of the 3rd Infantry loosened his tense heartstrings and looked back at the traces blasted by the firelight: the ceiling and the walls on both sides were dark, and there were even traces of melting on the delicate marble floor tiles… Directly opposite The windows, along with the entire wall, disappeared without a trace. With this level of power, and the magical aura in the air, the opponent has at least one conjurer, and the level is not low. It should be because I saw the power of my blood that restrained them, so I temporarily chose to retreat… Norton, who secretly said. Slowly put down his right hand: “Don’t hide, come out.” The voice fell, and Jason Fruhoff, wearing a cavalry uniform, walked out of the corner behind the wall with a look of resentment. Next to him: “When did you find out?” “In the beginning.” Norton said without turning his head: “By the way, did Colonel William also tell you about the assassin?” “Uh, that’s not it, I was there. When he was whispering to Lieutenant Colonel Alexey, he happened to hear it.” Jason scratched his head, and then suddenly realized something: “If you say that, don’t you also…” “Don’t ask if you shouldn’t!” The other party’s attempt to ask the truth, Norton looked back at him with a dignified face: “Go and inform all the officers who are ambushed in the corridor and the corner of the wall, don’t wait any longer, go to the banquet hall to gather immediately!” “Notice…” He was stunned. Jason looked at the other party and walked away with a serious expression, and couldn’t help complaining: “Where are those guys hiding, how would I know?!” “You know!” Norton didn’t even look at him again – the most important thing now is The mission is to control the situation and must not let the truth of the assassination mission be exposed, otherwise both the Storm Legion and Clovis will have a hard time ending! …… Just as Norton realized that the situation was starting to get out of control, the banquet hall was already in chaos. Although the guests present were in good spirits, most of them could still distinguish the difference between the explosion, the sound of the cannon and the fireworks; especially when the guards of the city council rushed into the hall, reporting that an assassin had attacked the council and asked everyone Don’t leave the scene, panic is written directly on everyone’s face. At the moment when the atmosphere in the hall was boiling, Norton Crossell with a heavy face walked in through the side door with a revolver, followed by several officers of the Storm Legion, his expressions were also not very good-looking. The next second, countless figures in uniform stood up in unison, pulled out their weapons in unison, and then… aimed at each other. “Stop, don’t move!” “What did you just do?!” “Raise your hand and put the gun down!” “Let me put it down? You should put it down!” “Shut up, I’m asking you now!” In an instant, the officers of the Storm Legion looked at each other, and everyone with different expressions was staring at each other nervously—they all got information about the assassin from William Cecil, but what they knew was incomplete. It was overheard from others, and as a result, everyone was acting independently, and they all noticed each other’s abnormality, so they all came to a very straightforward conclusion that sounded reasonable: assassins can sneak in so easily, because There is an internal response in the military corps! It should be said that this is actually a very reasonable guess. After all, although they all work together in the same unit, they both think they are loyal ministers who are loyal to the commander-in-chief and His Majesty. Obtuse people can also know each other’s background to some extent, which may be somewhat problematic. In the chaos, Norton, a non-staff member of the Society of Truth, seemed the most calm, while Alexei, the designated fire knight of the Dukasky family, aimed two guns at the surroundings at the same time. Hilt, Leo, who was hiding in the crowd, looked erratic, ready to seize the opportunity to run first. The tense confrontation only lasted for a few dozen seconds, but for the dozens of officers present, it was no less than a long **** battle just ended. “What are you doing?!” Just when everyone was tensing their heartstrings, Fabian’s calm voice broke the deadlock. I saw him pushing the surrounding officers away, striding to the center of the crowd, his icy eyes swept across every officer present: “Although I don’t know the specific situation, it seems that an assassin tried to attack the Free Confederation mission, Destroy the normal exchanges between the kingdom and the Free Confederation.” “In this case, the Storm Legion, a loyal servant of the kingdom, must immediately stop it! Now that the commander-in-chief is temporarily away, I will issue a task to you as deputy commander, and immediately End this unnecessary internal conflict, reach a consensus within the legion as soon as possible, and take necessary actions!” Some sonorous and powerful words quickly calmed the panic of the officers; everyone looked at each other’s experience and quickly reached a tacit understanding. So, everyone directly aimed their guns at the Deputy Commander. “What’s this for?” Fabian raised his brows and subconsciously wanted to dodge sideways, but Alexei, who was behind him, used the muzzle of a gun to directly hold the back of his head: “Aren’t you doubting me, I just just I know what happened, much later than all of you.” “Don’t pretend there, former guard officer and royal spy.” Alexei, who sneered, pushed his gun forward again: “We already know that the employers behind those assassins are people from the War Department – frankly, how did you hook up with them?” “The Ring of Order is on, I really don’t know anything about it. “Fabian sullenly said, raised his hands silently and glanced behind him: “War Department? I don’t mean to doubt, but how can you be sure that you are from the War Department?” “This…”” I guessed it.” Norton interrupted, as the unlucky guy who was almost shot to death by his own people just now, looked at the unfortunate Fabian with a slightly sympathetic look: “Alexei and Hank The chief medical officer ran into the officer. According to their appearance, he was very similar to a high-ranking officer of the Army General Staff in my impression. This is the reason for this inference-Crowe City, someone wants to frame Beigang, stop by the way. The establishment of diplomatic relations with the Free Confederation.” “A reasonable guess, it is indeed…a member of a mysterious organization with well-informed information.” Fabian was not in a hurry, and even joked leisurely: “As for your suspicions that this matter may be involved with the royal family. …I can’t clarify anything for something without evidence, but at least I haven’t received an order in this regard.” “And I also urge you to put aside your doubts about each other for a while, once this becomes true, yes The entire Storm Legion is all harm and no gain – all assassins must be found as soon as possible, and they must be eliminated as soon as possible without leaving any trouble; if necessary, not a single one can be left alive.” Only at the moment of saying this, Fabian’s face was frosty. I regained the feeling I had when I was working in the Guards, and the chill all over my body even made Julien and several young officers could not help but take a half step back; The wrong impression was immediately cleared up. “I agree.” The expressionless Norton nodded slightly, and turned to Alexei behind Fabian: “This matter must end as soon as possible, and the news must not be spread outside, and the sooner the better.” The sooner the better, then…” Alexey vaguely realized something, as if talking to himself, and whispering like he was asking: “Do you want to tell the commander-in-chief?”…… “No need.” In the warm secret room, An Sen raised his hand to stop the mayor of Beigang who was standing in front of the door and was about to say something: “Your Excellency Francis, no matter what happens to the city council tonight, I myself They all know nothing.” “But…” The mayor of Beigang wanted to explain something when he saw Viscount Bogner staring at him with a serious look, shaking his head meaningfully. Looking at the two people who had such a tacit understanding, he finally realized something… If the news of the mission’s assassination was known to Ansen Bach, the commander-in-chief of the legion, things might not end so well. The reason is very simple. The Free Confederate Mission is escorted by the Storm Legion. If something goes wrong, Anson Bach, who is the first responsible person, must investigate it to the end; no matter who the mastermind is, the “murderer” of the incident must be caught. “. Obviously, Anson Bach doesn’t want to do this right now, because it means that he wants to have a head-on conflict with the forces that oppose the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Free Confederation, or just want to block the North Port; for the fact that he just returned to Clovis, his identity and situation are more embarrassing For the Storm Legion, this is by no means a wise choice. Not only him, but even himself should not know, because as long as he “knows”, he must take action, otherwise he will be charged with irresponsibility; but as the mayor of Beigang It was in the city council, and it was impossible for him to not know—in other words, from now on, he had already become an enemy of Clovis’s War Department! “It seems that our Lord Mayor has finally realized the seriousness of the problem… That’s right, the battle between us and the careerists starts now.” Viscount Bogner said solemnly: “It won’t take long, They will send people to North Harbor to ask Brigadier General Anson to go to Clovis City, but what awaits you will definitely not be a grand welcome ceremony, but a court trial!” “For them, whether the Storm Legion or the Free Confederation, it is The variables on the road to the final seizure of power, since they are variables, of course, the smaller the better; the fact that you, who have a good relationship with the Franz family, but was excluded by the entire army, will be labeled as a sinner who harms Clovis’ interests, which is very helpful for their relationship. “With the blood of the Storm Legion, letting the Privy Council witness the strength of the War Department is definitely a good deal for them.” Viscount Bogner followed suit: “Brigadier General Ansen Bach, at this time, you You need a partner who can recruit allies for you in the Privy Council, and you need a local force that can deter your strong enemies and echo each other outside Clovis City, in order to curb those people’s greedy ambitions and arrogant thoughts.” “You’re right.” Anson smiled softly: “But I already have all of them, don’t I?” “Exactly.” Viscount Bogner nodded, showing a comprehensible expression: “Those careerists It will never be understood that their arrogance will only bring us closer together, and their conspiracy will only make them shoot their own toes.” “To be honest, about your trip to Crow with the Free Confederate mission. Victoria time, and the War Department planning your trial, I already have a very good idea…”
