I Will Be The Crowned King - v4 Chapter 526 1 knife to kill you

Although due to unfamiliarity, ignorance, various contradictions between concepts and positions, etc., there has been a little bit of unhappiness and small differences between the Holy Army and the Holy See, which are both countries (organizations) that believe in the ring of order. Disputes, but under the mediation of various forces, the two sides finally sat at the negotiating table and began to work together to resolve the contradiction.

Of course, due to the huge disparity between the situation and strength of the two sides, and the delicate position of each other, the process and atmosphere have absolutely nothing to do with the word "pleasure".

First of all, in terms of strength, the Mujahideen Army is definitely at the level of crushing - don't look at Arthur, Edd's two legions suffered more than half of the casualties, and the Fernando Corps was simply captured collectively. beyond the whole new world.

However, the more powerful jihadist army has now been breached the last line of defense, and the central brain command of the whole army may be directly raised by the new continent army at any time; even if it can successfully break through, the large-scale jihadist army will be in a position in the short term. A state of loose sand without a core.

To put it bluntly, it is probably to prepare for a different position.

And now the New World Corps, which seems to have seized the enemy's fatal key, and even has the opportunity to kill it with one blow, is in fact equally worrying... After all, the strength of the two sides is still disparate, and the Free Confederation desires independence, not endless holy war. On the contrary, I hope to promote peace through war, because it is really impossible to fight.

Even now, the advantage of the New World Legion is not so great... The Nakhir rebel fleet is willing to join, but no one can guarantee that once the jihadist army appears, they will not immediately turn back.

At the same time, the nearly 60,000 jihadist troops led by Leon-François had cut off their back roads, and the 45,000-strong New World Legion had essentially become a lonely army with no way out, no logistics and no reinforcements.

One is the strong and powerful, who is worried that the enemy will overturn the table at any time and die together; the other is the weak who strives for independence and wants to be recognized, so he puts the knife directly on the neck of others, but dares not to swing it down... The two sides are extremely contradictory, No problem is really the biggest problem.

So there was a problem.

The attitude of the jihadist army is very clear: the Holy See can pardon all rebels, even allow the existence of the political entity "Free Confederation", and even return Beluga Harbor and several colonies of Sail City to the Free Confederation, and even allow certain organizations— For example, the New World Corporation—or the family—such as Rune—continues to be the powerhouse of the New World in the way they want.

but! The Faithful Alliance must be dissolved and the Universalists must abandon their heretical teachings! Then the Free Confederation can exist, but it cannot be completely independent, but follows the pattern of the republic under the Empire's vassals.

It's just that they can be allowed to have greater autonomy according to the situation, even if they don't pay taxes. According to tradition, they can only worship and perform pilgrimages to the emperor himself.

It should be said that the Mujahideen Army has made great concessions because the situation is really unfavorable to itself, and has given the Free Confederation a lot of benefits on various substantive levels... Sacrificing a little name and illusory things in exchange for the recognition and protection of the Empire Look, no matter how you look at it, it's all cheap.

Then, as the Marshal of the New World Legion and the plenipotentiary representative of the Free Confederation, Anson Bach said with a smile that he would never accept it.

Aside from the fact that the Holy See is basically in the hands of others, and catching a sheep in the empire, giving up the Faithful Alliance is tantamount to accepting an invasion from the church. The Rune family cannot agree first, and at the same time build on the foundation of Universalism. The New World Corps is even less likely to agree.

As for "recognized and protected by the empire"... It sounds good, but in fact it directly obliterates the possibility of the independence of the Free Confederacy, and is still under the imperial system; it seems to ensure the security of the external environment at the moment, but It also gave the Empire an opportunity to intervene in the future.

All the conditions were completely negated, so the two sides simply tore their faces, declared the end of the negotiation, and the war continued.

The Free Confederation who got the news panicked in an instant... Now this side has been cut off from the retreat. If we can't seize the current opportunity to fight for peace, this war may have to be fought endlessly.

The officers of the New World Legion panicked. Although the leaders of the colonial army were very grateful to Anson for being an outsider, he insisted on his principles.

The big deal is to retreat to Winter Torch City... This kind of saying is very powerful, but as long as it is possible, everyone knows that it can only be a last resort; .

Even the Storm Legion began to feel uneasy in the agitation... Although everyone is loyal to Commander-in-Chief Anson Bach, that does not mean that they are really prepared to be enemies with the Holy See, or abandon their identity in Clovis to join the Free Confederation... This Somewhat touching everyone's bottom line.

When the atmosphere was at its worst, even Fabian, who had always been the most calm, couldn't sit still. He was about to talk to Anson, but was stopped by Carl Bain.

Encountering various bosses all year round, the experienced chief of staff can see through the careful thinking of some people at a glance... He is really planning to start a war, he is obviously putting pressure on other guys who are particularly enthusiastic about this negotiation!

You must know that it is not only the Holy See and the Free Confederation who care about this negotiation, the Clovis Kingdom, the Han soil, the Bernard family, the Roland family, the Dukasky family… all do not want the emperor to continue to maintain influence over the New World, let alone Hope the Holy See has the authority to interfere in the secular world.

Now Anson's attitude is very obvious... I have done everything that I should do, and the interests that should be preserved have also been preserved, how about you?

Isn't it a bit too whimsical to think that you can easily take away the cake from the new world without any effort?

That's right, you can pretend that nothing happened, or continue to pretend to be loyal to the Holy See, then continue to fight. As for the result and end of the fight, only the Ring of Order will know.

In addition to putting pressure on the group of people watching the show, Anson really needs their position. After all, he and the entire Storm Legion are still holding the title of "rebel". If this matter is not resolved, Xilihu Tu made the Free Confederation a vassal of the Empire, so didn't they really turn from curvy loyalists to rebels?

The results of the facts were basically in line with his expectations... At the same time as the negotiations broke down, not only the New World Legion panicked, but also chaos within the Crusaders. The degree of division was no less than that of the timid Free Confederation.

The first was the court marquis Pavel Dukaski, who took the initiative to unite with Fernando Herrede to publicly appeal that since the contradictions and misunderstandings have been eliminated, more peaceful "non-violent" means should be used to solve the problem instead of rekindling the war. , and said that the jihadists of the Empire will never become accomplices in all evil wars.

Since the Empire accounted for one-half or even two-thirds of the Crusader Army, their proposal was immediately responded by almost all leaders—even the Marquis of the Court and the most trusted generals of His Majesty the Emperor were not allowed to fight, they What's the fun?

Originally, he was going to threaten the opposite Sir Phyllis with war, which means that he was slapped by his own people as soon as he finished speaking. It can be said that this is in support of his own program.

But this is not the worst... Leon Francois, who has already captured the Supreme Council, Auguste Factory and other strongholds and completely cut off the retreat of the New World Legion, also expressed the hope that the two sides can resolve conflicts peacefully. Never swing a sword at a comrade of the same faith.

What's the meaning? It means that the duty of this battle of Hantu has been fulfilled, and the next battle will be the responsibility of your high command, you and your thoughts, don't come to us.

This act of expressing his position at the speed of light is directly equivalent to taking away the biggest trump card of Pheleus; in case of a real fight, the Hantu Legion will not attack the New World Legion from behind, and even if they want to retreat, they will not will block.

Of course, everyone knows that the so-called "war" of the colonial rebels must be a pretense, but even if everyone knows that it is impossible, as long as there is still a probability of occurrence, it is a card that can be played; on the contrary, the Mujahideen is this The side is out of cards now - they all run away on their own long legs.

The helpless Phyllis could only slap himself on the face, and when he took the initiative to announce the negotiation, everyone was a little excited. The so-called "declaration of war" was just a tacit and angry word, and he had no intention of suspending the negotiation.

Not so recently, he also personally, as the commander-in-chief of the Mujahideen Army, invited the negotiator Anson Bach to open the next round of negotiations to conduct a deeper discussion on some issues that everyone was caught in a dispute.

Obviously, the first person to stand up to defend and pass the steps at this time, the fool knows that he is ready to give in.

So An Sen was not polite, and very simply took out the negotiating conditions on his side to the other side as a gesture of courtesy.

The first is the so-called "imperial vassal" issue. You don't even have to think about it. The Free Confederation should, will and must be independent. It is also a prerequisite for the establishment of negotiations.

To be more precise, this is not a negotiation between a suzerain and a vassal, but a fair and equal negotiation between the Mujahideen Army and the Free Confederacy. After losing this foundation, it is meaningless.

Secondly, the Faithful Alliance cannot be dissolved, but the Free Confederation is willing to abolish their status as the only legal religious organization, and the Church can also build cathedrals in any part of the New World and send missionaries—or, in other words, to deal with any order in the world country. attitude towards the nascent Free Confederation.

That is to say, technology dissemination, church banks, these things that the orderly world has, and the Holy See must have if it wants to preach.

All in all, the Holy See must recognize that the Free Confederation is a country belonging to the ordered world, not heretical or outsider, and equal to and equal to the Empire, Clovis, and Han soil.

Then, everyone has something to talk about.

After reading these Phileas, the first reaction is that there is nothing to talk about, let's fight!

The problem is that he no longer has the capital to fight. The only ones who have not made a public statement are Ludwig Franz and the Clovis Mujahideen behind him, but what kind of attitude would such a person have? Head can think of it.

So Phyllis could only agree to start a new negotiation on this basis, but there is no guarantee that he will accept it in full - this is his bottom line. If the Free Confederation is still not satisfied, even if the Mujahideen is the only one left, he will fight to the end. moment.

Of course, Anson readily agreed, unsurprisingly.

So less than four hours after the negotiation collapsed, the two sides who had torn their faces once again sat at the same table again, calmly, and happily started the second round of negotiations.

It's just that both sides have no way out this time... If you don't talk about a result that can satisfy everyone, no one wants to leave this battle table.

With this preparation, the two of them tacitly rejected all other irrelevant personnel, leaving only a clerk responsible for the record, plus a novelist who witnessed on their behalf, and started a war without gunpowder smoke.

On the other side of Beluga Harbor, Louis Bernard, who left all his followers and work, came to a deserted beach alone; listening to the sound of the tide, waiting for the arrival of the appointment.

"You really came, and I knew you wouldn't break the appointment!"

The incomparably hearty voice ran over from a distance, and the excitement could be clearly felt even without looking at it; Louis, who chuckled lightly, stood up and looked back with a smile:

"Yeah, here I am—as promised."

Looking at his close friend quietly, the smile on Arthur Herrede's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a certain seriousness and seriousness that had never been seen before.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing... No, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has it." After denying and then affirming, Arthur, who pursed his lips tightly, shook his head heavily: "You have changed, you are not the same as before—what I said is When I was in Hantu."

The slightly stunned young knight laughed: "Of course, everyone changes, and no one is ever the same... Of course, you may be the exception."

"Yeah, I think it's best to stay the same." Dragon Roar Knight stared at him stubbornly: "Friends are always friends, enemies... Well, maybe someday I will become friends with a certain enemy. , this can change."

"Including now, I hope that your swordsmanship and bloodline power can improve a little... Accidentally killing a companion with a knife, I still hope it doesn't happen."

"It's better to tell this to yourself, Arthur." Louie's expression was calm: "You just rely too much on the power of blood. The last time I met you, it seemed that swordsmanship didn't make much progress."

"Before you talk big, it's best not to underestimate the enemy...but you don't have to worry about it." Arthur grinned, revealing his neat white teeth:

"I'll be careful not to kill you with a knife!"
