I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 123: Declaration of Defiance

For the Morwes family, who have been cultivating the south for many years, the new world in the extreme north is a field they have never touched; so when Bernard Morwes hastily assumed office as the governor of Sail City, the whole new world is very important. The intelligence network basically belongs to the state of smearing both eyes.

The direct consequence of this is that he has always been very passive. Even if he has the real power of the colonial minister, he has very weak control over his subordinates and grassroots, let alone intelligence.

It's not that he didn't want to. In fact, as a chief of staff and administrator who has been fighting for others all the year round, Bernard is very aware of the importance of gathering intelligence at the military and political levels; but the problem is that he, the minister in charge who took office "alone", There are no cronies in the whole of Sail City, the only people I know are Ed Levent and Louis Bernard.

The former has a good relationship with himself, but he has no friends in Yangfan City who can’t help, so it’s better to talk than nothing; the latter seems to still refuse to show up, and deceives himself to make everyone believe that the elf girl beside him is just an ordinary elf girl, It has nothing to do with the Thirteen Councils of the Iser Elf.

Actually, what about the princess herself? This is already a new world. As long as there is no trouble, who cares about this kind of thing - the airship of the Knights of Judgment can still cross the turbulent sea?

Because he has never been recognized by the local forces, and at the same time, he can only reluctantly convince the public in the army... So far, Bernard found that the most detailed information he could get was actually the "Beluga Port Good Man".

Based on this extremely limited information, all he can judge is that the Clovis people temporarily satisfied their greed for territory after conquering Long Lake Town, and at the same time agitated the colonies to continue to rebel against the Empire... that's all.

Although this did bring some waves to his counter-insurgency plan, considering the strength of the two sides, Bernard believes that as long as one colony is advanced and suppressed, sooner or later those people will be able to see the situation clearly and return to the golden iris. under the banner.

As for whether the army of Beluga Harbor will send troops for these colonies... With Bernard's understanding of the Clovis people, it is almost as difficult to make them selfless and voluntary labor as the dragons accept that they are relatives of turkeys. .

So after retaking Grey Dove Castle, Bernard did not continue eastward; on the one hand, to avoid stimulating those colonies, on the other hand, it gave the Clovis people an illusion, making them mistakenly think that they could hold the pie that fell from the sky in Long Lake Town. , huddled on the cake plate that has been licked clean, don't get in the way of your next plan.

And the performance of the Clovis people was also very good. After conquering Longhu Town, they didn't take a step forward, and they didn't even take down Red Hand Bay, which was already close at hand.

But what happened now has obviously exceeded his prediction. The originally seemingly good situation seemed to turn sharply overnight, becoming the last thing Bernard wanted to see.

The liberals who rebelled against the colonies, they...

Actually united? !

Inside the luxurious governor's mansion, Bernard slumped on the chair with a dazed expression, staring at the messenger who was reading the newspaper to him with an almost dream-like expression:

[…When the first colonists bravely crossed the turbulent sea and established settlements under the protection of the Ring of Order, they… these brave pioneers won two irrefutable rights for themselves and all their successors .

That is the pursuit of a happy life and the right to be free and independent in this world in the way you want without any constraints.

Therefore, here, the beliefs are not subject to any restrictions, and the old and new immigrants, who are equal and have no distinction between noble and inferior, consciously rule themselves in the form of 'autonomous councils' - not accustomed to being oppressed, but active dedication and sacrifice, Build a government of mutual respect and freedom.

She bowed allegiance to the emperor, and protected every citizen who had given power to it, trying to maintain the balance between the old and the new world, and let the civilization that has been gifted with imperial power since ancient times and the free and unfettered barbarism , which are connected to each other here.

Unexpectedly, the imperial power of civilization is as destructive as it always has been, and it has no interest in 'autonomy', only greed for 'prosperity', and regards 'freedom' as a monstrous beast...

The 'justice' and 'jurisprudence' are full of texts, but they are full of 'tyranny' and 'dictatorship'!

It shamelessly exploited the people who had suffered heavy losses in the war, took the last gold coin and the last piece of fuel from the poor immigrants, just to make the kerosene lamps of the palace burn brighter;

It enacted a great deal of injustice to the colonies, making hard-working and risky businessmen not only unprofitable, but even poorer;

It suppresses all opposing voices, and even forbids the colonies to organize militias and have independent armed forces for nearly a hundred years - just because that will make them pay a greater price for their suppression;

It slaughtered the delegates sent by the colonies, just because those people spoke with justice and refused to bow down to the noble imperial knights, sacrificing the interests of the colonies to flatter the empire;

It carried out a brutal massacre at Dove Castle, where thousands of brave liberal fighters died at the gunpoint of tyranny;

It declares that we are traitors, who need to be eradicated, who are disloyal to the emperor and who have betrayed our faith;

We were humble and humble, and tried all euphemisms to reach an agreement acceptable to both parties; but all these reasonable proposals were ruthlessly rejected and reprimanded in the most brutal way...]

"Since the empire is so arrogant, then we don't need to continue to expect to use words to influence its head that never bows down. Steel and gunpowder are the only voices it can hear!"

In the Red Hand Bay City Council, the newly appointed Speaker Pete Chatham, surrounded by a group of militiamen, waved the long scroll in his hand, and spit at the audience:

"The sound of the salvo of gunfire is our words; the bayonet will become the sigh of the pen, the sound of the cannon will be our slogan, the iron boots of stepping and the hooves of the cavalry will become our cadence! "

"Red Hand Bay, Changhu Town, Black Reef Harbor, Winter Torch City... The voices of the new world unite, let our indiscernible hoarse shouts turn into thunderous bursts of thunder that are enough to shock the imperial army!"

"Let the bayonets be stained with blood, the muzzles of the guns will smoke, the cannons will burn hot, the military uniforms will be stained with frost, and the military boots will be stained with the soil of Sail City."

………………

"Let the banner of revenge fly on the spire of Grey Dove Castle!"

A tearful Polina Frey stood on the podium, waving pink fists at the Beluga MPs and representatives of the Faithful Alliance, shouting hoarsely like a weeping oriole, causing Wen to cry.

"Everyone here, I'm not going to hide anything from you - my father, the esteemed Speaker Frey, was a true loyalist who had dedicated his entire life to serving the Empire, in the position of Speaker. Dedicated nearly half of his life."

"But such a good man who was loyal to the empire and the emperor was accused by a despicable villain of being a traitor to the empire, and without any fair trial, died at the gunpoint of the man he once swore his loyalty to forever. "

"I feel sorry for my father and sad for my deceased family; but at the same time, I am also grateful to them! Thanks for their sacrifices, I can see the true face of the empire and see when the wealth is in front of me. How ruthless are these insatiable dictators!"

"I declare that from this moment on, I... Polina Frey, will be a liberal soldier fighting for the independence of Grey Dove Castle! I will dedicate my life to this cause, Just like my father swore to give his voice to the Empire."

"But unlike him, my vision will never betray me, my battle will eventually lead to victory, and the focus of my life will never die without resistance, like a shot being executed - but if you have to be executed, I'd rather die on the battlefield fighting for the liberals!"

"I also know very well that I can never overthrow the Empire's rule in the new world by myself; therefore, I call to you, to the brave Clovis - to join my team and fight with us!"

………………

"Why? Because as long as Clovis joins this war, it is absolutely impossible for us to fail!"

Beating the table hard, Speaker Hollande tried his best to cheer up the frightened Changhu Town Councillors: "Look at the battle at the beginning, isn't there enough troops and defense facilities in Changhu Town? But in the end, Not defeated!"

"Now the Empire has only five or six thousand troops in Yangfan City, and the militia is definitely less than ten thousand people; if the army and fleet of the Clovis people are willing to join us, the total strength of the rebel army will be two or three times that of the Empire. !"

"Okay, okay...I know some people will say that the Empire still has a far-flung army in the mainland, and countless large fleets; but those armies are now entangled by Clovis, and the emperor will never For the sake of the colonies, the army that was originally used to defend the homeland was dropped into the new world."

"As for the large fleet, although it is indeed a threat, as long as there is no army, they will not be able to threaten Changhu Town even if they have more gunboats, not to mention that we still have complete defense facilities, as long as we are not attacked like last time, block a few Thousands are not a problem.”

"But Clovis... IMHO, the distance between Long Lake Town and Beluga Harbour is too close; for an inappropriate example, please don't forget the fate of Grey Pigeon Castle."

"Crowe people, it's not that they can't kill all of us like the massacre organized by the Empire in Grey Dove Castle, but they chose restraint, which itself is a hint, a threat." Speaker Hollande's expression Stern:

"Their kindness is to be cruel when necessary."

………………

"...Because of this, we absolutely cannot believe the false benevolence of the Empire, and believe that they will open up to any of us - Grey Pigeon Castle, which is the best proof!" Peter Chatham raised his arm:

"Some people will say that the army of the Empire is unrivaled, and that our act of resistance is equivalent to a chariot; some people will say that what we have done can't get more than the colony pays more, because the colony After all, we cannot survive alone, we will always be part of the empire."

"For these people, my answer is only one word - get out!"

"Going will never respect you, bow to your empire, and sacrifice and sacrifice to the supreme imperial power in your heart; we will not interfere with your right to kneel, but not the freedom we want to stand... Point and point there, say three or four!"

"Just because we are different from you, the power of freedom flows in our veins, we long for the minimum respect and understanding, we long for a friendship that is truly equal to each other, and we long for a transparent and fair law and government..."

………………

"We are the citizens of the upright new world!"

Paulina pursed her lips tightly, and her tearful face made her not as cute as she used to be, but a little more heroic:

"Longhu Town, Red Hand Bay, Winter Torch City, Sail City, Black Reef Harbor...and Grey Pigeon Castle, Beluga Harbor, Grey Snow Town... We are the pioneers of the new world and the communicator of the doctrine of the Ring of Order. It is the wings of the orderly world to spread out to the world, and it is the source of clear water for the old continent."

"We should unite and prove to the people of the old world with facts that the new world is not a vassal of the old world, let alone the projection of the ordered world on another continent; it has its own pride, its own path, and its own future. !"

"In the past, it was a mess of sand, an ideal homeland for a group of weak people to escape from the old world, and a habitat for exiles; now, it is ready to show its unique glory to the world, which is different from the old world~www .readwn.com~Therefore, here, in the presence of you, in the witness of the Ring of Order..."

"US!"

Pete Chatham shook his fist so hard that his collar was soaked with saliva.

"US!"

Hollande stood up abruptly and swept towards the crowd with murderous eyes.

"US!"

Paulina held her head high, and tears fell on the scroll in her hand - the proud work of Secretary Alan Dawn and Anson Bach:

"We formally declare to you that, in the name of the countless free peoples of the New World, by the supreme right bestowed upon me by the Grey Dove Castle/Long Lake Town/Red Hand Bay City Council, to sign this "Declaration of Defiance", officially...declaring war on the Empire !"

"I hereby swear that I will do everything in my power to fight the Empire in every way. I will fight against the Empire's aggression anytime, anywhere. I will fight alongside any warrior who is willing to fight against the Empire. I will never Abandon any land that burns with the fire of liberty .

"I hereby announce to you, the Free Confederation of Colonies in the New World, the United Front of the Imperial Rebel Army..."

"Officially established!"
