Sail City, outside the bombed-out North City Gate.

Under the torrential rain that covered the sky, thousands of soldiers of the Sail City defenders were fully armed, dragging heavy trucks and cannons through the nearly ruined streets to the Confederate army camp on the outskirts of the city.

The 13-star ring flag on the dilapidated city gate has long been taken off, and replaced by the ring of order that hangs down in the rain curtain, and Clovis's coat of arms of the blood-red unicorn on a black background.

The people on both sides of the street watched the defending soldiers leave, as well as the upcoming jihadist army. In addition to being frightened, there was a trace of relief in their eyes; the complex emotions were like the weather in the city of sailing. , diffused in the air of rising water mist.

After some sincere and fair negotiations, Ludwig and his jihadist army finally got what he wanted, the most crucial goal of this jihad... Sail City.

But this did not come without any cost. On the contrary, when I first saw the long list of Ansen Bach's list, it immediately evoked some very bad memories of Ludwig:

First of all, the jihadist army must immediately lift the siege and blockade of Yangfan City and the weed forest, and allow the colony defenders and all the liberals who voluntarily follow the army to evacuate safely without stopping them in the middle;

This is basically a matter of course, and Ludwig even agrees.

Secondly, the Confederate army's materials and prisoners must be returned, the jihadist army's materials - especially the fifty cannons - were all seized, and even the soldiers of the grass forest were required to disarm and surrender on the spot, and all the equipment was handed over to the Confederate army. "... Ludwig has endured everything, and he can't be more clear about Ansen Bach's almost miserable character, who grabs everything and wants everything.

Ludwig also endured, who let himself lose the battle.

The last one, and also the most unacceptable to Ludwig, is that the jihadists are not allowed to destroy or loot the occupied cities and the people who have not left the city, let alone substantively persecute certain groups of people.

This is an almost undisguised admission: You can't move my people in Yangfan City, and even take the initiative to protect them, so as to avoid persecution from the empire and the church as much as possible.

Ludwig was shocked, and for a moment he even felt as if he didn't take Sail City by himself, but was just temporarily keeping it for the **** Ansen Bach; he could no longer call it a request, but an order!

A traitor, heretic, or one of his former subordinates, ordering himself? !

But Ludwig agreed.

No matter how hard it is to accept, the fact is that from the moment when he was about to negotiate with Ansen Bach, he had become an accomplice of this "traitor"; protecting those who were loyal to him in the city was, in a sense, defending himself, Franz and even Clovis.

To put it more bluntly, the harder this "holy war" is fought, and the more factors that will be detrimental to the Church and the Empire, the greater the benefits that Clovis and the Franz family can obtain.

Ludwig even suspected... No, he was sure that his respected father, Archbishop Luther Franz must have expected all this, and he would have worked so hard to make himself this damned legion commander!

So after losing the battle and promising a lot of conditions, Ludwig and his holy war corps, who felt deeply that they had been pitted again, became the new owners of Sail City.

Of course, the officers and soldiers of the Mujahideen Army knew very well that this "victory" was the result of the negotiation of the legion commander, but they knew nothing about the content.

But Ludwig was not worried about this. He was very greedy and cowardly, selfish and selfish about his subordinates. of others.

Standing on the top of the tower overlooking the dense crowd below, Ludwig sighed heavily, forcing himself to stop indulging in meaningless anger and shock, and began to think about what to do next.

The Crusaders controlled Yangfan City, which was equivalent to destroying an extremely important stronghold for the Free Confederation. It was only a matter of time before giving up the entire west. After that, the focus of Anson Bach and others would surely shift to the Ice Dragon Fjord.

This is both a good and a bad thing... The advantage is that they no longer have to worry about how to defend, they can concentrate their forces in one place, and there is no need to disperse the defense. Whale Harbor.

It is now May, and the main force of the jihadist army will land in Sail City at the latest... According to the most conservative estimates, Anson Bach and his so-called Free Confederation will lose most of their territory around June.

If Clovis still wants to gain even a little benefit from this war, he must ensure that before October, Ice Dragon Fjord or Beluga Harbor cannot easily fall in front of the 150,000 Holy War army.

"Are you worried about Anson Bach?"

Roman, who was on the side, said softly, and he stayed behind who did not leave with the Confederate legion. As the "middleman" between Ludwig and Ansen Bach, he provided Ludwig with the information he needed when necessary.

But for the loyal deputy commander of the Southern Legion, the latter was the main reason he really stayed.

"What is there to worry about that **** traitor?" Ludwig snorted coldly: "What I am more worried about now is that your private conspiracy is discovered by the empire and the church and exposed... The truth will be no better than the old gods. , but it is also a thorn in the eyes of the Holy See, but the impact it has caused in the past is not large, and it has not been targeted too much."

"Even if the church can stop the church from interfering with secular ambitions this time, most of the things that could be concealed in the past can't be hidden; once the church ordered the hunt, Clovis would never dare to object, and the Franz family would not be able to protect it. Your abilities, you... have you thought about what to do in the future?"

Looking at Ludwig's worried eyes, Roman seemed to have been petrified, and the whole person froze in place; after being silent for more than ten seconds, he nodded slightly, not daring to look directly at the other party.

"It is a great honor for my subordinates." Roman calmed his breath while trying to maintain his icy tone: "For this result, since the day I joined the Truth Society, my subordinates have been prepared, please don't worry about it. too worried."

Ludwig frowned slightly.

"Roman, we..." He sighed, quite emotional:

"We're still friends, right?"

"Of course." Roman slowly got up, but still avoided his eyes:

"It is a lifetime honor to be able to fight for Ludwig Franz."

………………

Compared with Ludwig and the Crusaders, who were in a complicated mood, the Confederate Army, which had won a great victory but was forced to retreat, was extremely heavy.

Although Anson had persuaded Louis not to make any explanations, in the end, he took it all by himself: in the name of the Governor of Sail City, he announced to abandon the entire Sail City colony, and asked all the soldiers and people who were still loyal to him to follow him, together Evacuate to Grey Dove Castle.

"...Yes, we won this war, but at a price that would eclipse any victory; to defeat the Mujahideen, thousands of fighters willing to fight for freedom and for equality paid The price of life; but in the end, what we have won is only the qualification to negotiate fairly with the enemy, and that's it..."

"... This is not because our fighters are not brave and have the courage to sacrifice for freedom and equality; it is because the enemy we are facing this time is too powerful, and my ability to command you to fight is not enough. Make the really right decision..."

"Only the enemy's vanguard forces have already required the entire Confederacy to give their full support to be able to barely contend; when we truly face the enemy head-on, we will face at least ten times, or even twenty times of desperation! "

"...It is meaningless to continue to defend Yangfan City. For the continuation of the entire Free Confederation, it is the least bad result to evacuate from Yangfan City without losing dignity and concentrate on preparing for a decisive battle with the enemy..."

After a sincere and frank speech, Louis Bernard unsurprisingly reaped the disappointment of all the liberals and the army of Sail City loyal to him.

But even so, these people still decided to follow the governor, who disappointed them greatly, and evacuated from the colony of Yangfan City with the large army; not because of how loyal they were, but because of the fighting that lasted for nearly a month, most of them Most of them have forged a blood feud in the intimate interaction with the Mujahideen.

Once the army leaves and stays, it's not hard to guess how the other party will "return" to the previous friendly exchanges.

In contrast, it seems that it is more cost-effective to continue to remain loyal to the Governor of Sail City... Although compared with the past, this loyalty needs to be questioned.

But the young knight didn't care about this... When he saw that in the end most of the people accepted his "persuasion" and were reluctant but still willing to follow him to evacuate, even if the people around him looked at him with contempt, Louis There was still joy on his face.

"Because he's such a fool."

Looking at the city of sailing in the distance, the elf girl whispered softly: "To this fool, he will always be the most irrelevant one; as long as he can achieve his goal, he will protect what he wants to protect, even if it is the next second. You will die and your name will be broken, and there will never be a moment of hesitation.”

"Don't talk about the entire Yangfan City, even...even an orphan in the slums, in his mind, he is a thousand times more precious than the governor of Yangfan City, the heir of the Bernard family."

An Sen, who was forced to go side by side with the elf girl, didn't speak, and nodded embarrassedly.

"He's just such a hopeless fool who never thinks about himself, let alone what is better for him." Freya's voice trembled slightly, but her eyes swept to Anson. Cold Resolve:

"You must be very proud of using such a fool to achieve your goal willingly, Your Excellency Anson Bach?"

"Absolutely not!"

An Sen, who was shocked all over his body, categorically vetoed.

"Oh?" The elf girl narrowed her eyes:

"real?"

"Exactly!"

Raising his head suddenly, An Sen's eyes were very sure: "I persuaded him several times not to explain to those people, but he just didn't listen and insisted on letting everyone know the whole story; how stubborn he is, you must be better than him. I know better!"

"That's natural... Sticking to one's own beliefs and carrying out the spirit of defending to the death is the criterion of a knight."

The elf girl snorted, her icy eyes instantly replaced by endless attachment: "How can a guy like you who has no integrity and doesn't know what chivalry is, how can he shake his resolve?"

"Ah yes yes yes, what you said is so reasonable!"

For Freya's cynicism, Anson readily admitted - compared with Louis who still retains a simple, elf girl who has experienced court politics personally is actually much more difficult to deal with; but she is only in the body of the young knight. She becomes sensitive only when her interests are compromised.

"However, thanks to Louis' frankness to a certain extent, hundreds of thousands of people in Yangfan City Colony clearly understood their current situation and willingly followed us away." Anson quickly changed the topic:

"Our enemy is unprecedentedly powerful, but the Confederacy has not fully realized this, and is still full of unreasonable optimism, and even many people simply cannot understand the terrifying existence of the hostility of the 150,000-strong army and the church. "

"And these hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Yangfan City may become a powerful enough booster to make them deeply understand that even if they win on the battlefield, they still cannot reverse the gap and disadvantage between the two sides."

"From this point of view, Louis's approach is actually the correct decision; one-sided pressure may improve cohesion and facilitate management; but being honest can dispel people's illusions and truly start to be down-to-earth for his own future and destiny. fight."

"Louis Bernard, what a gentle and amazing knight; it is such a relief to be able to fight alongside him."

As if suddenly feeling emotional, Anson smiled and turned his head: "It is a blessing and a great honor to be his best friend, comrade-in-arms, and ally."

"With him here, we will definitely win this war!"

Facing Anson's gaze, Freya, who said nothing, frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Feeling the emotions of the elf girl~www.readwn.com~ An Sen smiled and said, "Is there any problem?"

"Nothing!" Freya shook her head decisively, but seemed a little uncertain:

"Just suddenly remembered something . . . strange."

"Strange thing?"

"It's not particularly strange, but...it may not be accepted by the eyes of this world...the public." The elf girl's eyes suddenly began to evade, and her words became hesitant: "I...I don't know anything about this. , just heard Talia Rune mention it so... um... a few times."

"It's... it's you and Louis. Before you... should just be... ordinary friends... right?"

Anson Bach: "..."
