Chapter 108: The Third Ascension to the Throne
"This is what happened. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
And when the consul Leopold was worried about his country, the army, and the safety of his own life and property, and so on, and even went crazy. Wilhelm von Hereford knew all this.
It should be said that if heaven wants to make it die, it must first make it crazy? Although this guy was a little arrogant and arrogant before, he is also a smart person. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is even a heroic figure. But I didn't expect to behave so badly now. It's like a faint king.
But it's normal to think about it. Who can keep their heads above water in such a desperate situation?
Now it's good that Leopold can barely sustain himself without going crazy, or committing suicide in despair or something. Well, yes, it's pretty good, and it even made William's evaluation of this guy go up a little bit.
William even thought he could recruit this guy if he could—before he became an archon, of course, and before he had so much ambition.
As for now, it's all over.
Through the north and south routes, judging by the news from Marseille and the troops that landed in Normandy. Visigothic is finished.
This end is not only material, but also spiritual.
Visigoths, who are about to go crazy with hunger, rarely obey orders to arm themselves and fight to the death against the evil invaders.
Opposite. Many people listened to the tactics of the two Gothic families in the Russian Gothic Empire, which could not be publicized before, and of course, many people listened to this premise, that is, if you are obedient, you can get brown bread and stick batter. These two things are more important to the Visigoths who are dying of starvation than spirituality, faith, or even national sovereignty.
At least more important for the vast majority of ordinary people.
In fact, it's not like there are guys here who are not armed to fight against the Russian Gothic Empire. These guys are either fanatical liberals or fanatical republicans. Fanatical nationalists or something.
It's not the same.
Perhaps, if William hadn't led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Visigoth, he would have been able to fight by leaving them alone. But now, these people are armed together. Fight for their beliefs, for their ideals, and have the consciousness of martyrdom and sacrifice.
For such guys, the battlefield is usually very, or very, very admirable. Although he can't do these things himself.
No, or maybe it's because William can't do these things himself, so he admires people who can do these things very much.
All in all, under admiration, William also made the most correct decision, that is, to kill them all, leaving no one behind......
Not only their bodies, but also their souls, along with what they believe in, the voices they wish to make, are killed together.
These people shouting all kinds of slogans, hoping that even if they die, at least people will know why they died, and they can know their spirit, even if they can't trust, even if they can't even understand, as long as they can pass it on. As long as that's the case, there's hope......
Eventually, however, they died silently.
The most seen in the newspapers is still William's army, and everywhere he goes, the old folks eat pot pulp to welcome the king's master and other news. As for the propaganda of the underground tabloids, mimeographs, publishing bureaus, etc., they have all collapsed under the strategy of ruthless Cheka agents.
It's like the Bretons commenting on it. They said. Kaiser Wilhelm's army kept them alive physically, but killed them spiritually. Compared with the two, the emperor gave absolutely not as much as he took away.
Of course, this harsh, fastidious, bastard critic against His Majesty the Great Emperor is destined to live long. This is true both in his body and in his spirit. Especially when his hometown of Briton was also occupied. Even more so -
Kaiser Wilhelm will soon be able to acquire the whole Visigoth.
The Visigothic army in front of him was constantly fleeing every day.
They lack food, weapons and ammunition, medicines, medical care, everything. What is even more lacking is their reason to fight and their confidence.
In this case, even Leopold considered himself a failure. Then the officers, generals, and soldiers below, of course, have no reason to continue fighting.
Well, yes, that's it, that's it. In this case. Leopold's defeat was a matter of course.
When William had amassed enough troops, he tentatively launched an attack on the enemy. As a result, the Visigothic army, which had previously been considered heroic, was crushed at the touch of a button. A forward cavalry regiment brutally crushed the enemy's tens of thousands of troops. Of course, they didn't kill much, and many more soldiers turned around and fled when they heard the gunshots, or they obediently gave up resistance and waited to be taken prisoner.
Seeing that there were ten times more captured soldiers than them in front of them, and perhaps even more, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment who were the vanguard were at a loss.
And when they finally made the decision and looked ahead, they found that the Visigoths had an empty barracks.
The soldiers were taken away by the generals.
And when they asked the remaining soldiers, their consul, Leopold, where they were, the soldiers pointed to a tent.
Then they went in and found him dead for I don't know how long, and his body was stiffened......
He had many wounds on his body. Every place is lethal enough, muskets, swords. There's even tooth marks or something. So it's completely impossible to tell how this guy died.
This made the soldiers even more overwhelmed. They looked at each other, and even thought it was very funny at one point. Although in reality no one can laugh.
Soon after, they heard a burst of howling and crying.
I don't know who those Visigoths are crying about and what they are crying about.
themselves, their consuls, their countries, their armies, their ideals?
Or just want to vent your emotions.
One way or another. It's all over.
William got the news of Leopold's death, and then let out an indifferent "oh".
From the very beginning, he knew that this must be the result. Even if the opponent has 500,000 men and sends a fantastic weapon like a steam tank to attack him. He knew it would be like this in the end.
And getting a result that he has known for a long time has no meaning and no value to him.
So an "oh" is enough.
From the beginning of the war to the present. The empire also fought with the Visigoths for almost two years. Unlike any previous war, this one, which lasted only two years, was a miracle war.
A great country that is world-class has just disappeared.
After more than a month. That is, in Paris. William prepares for his coronation.
Coronation as Emperor.
Coronation as Emperor of All Goths, Emperor of All Goths, and the only Emperor of the Old World.
This is the third time in his life that he has been crowned emperor.
From the coronation as Emperor of the Gothic Empire of Russia.
and then crowned Emperor of the Ostrogothic Empire.
And finally now, crowned as the all-gothic emperor.
The pomp and circumstance of the classical Gothic era was, finally, and finally, revived in the hands of William.
Thousands of years ago, after the collapse of the classical Gothic Empire, after the Goths were divided into several parts, countless Gothic monarchs for countless years tirelessly pursued, fought, and fought desperately against each other for this matter. He thought desperately, made great strides in diplomacy, and exhausted himself in domestic affairs. Countless soldiers died on the battlefield, and countless resources were invested in the army.
Such a war finally came to an end today.
Finally, a new era has ushered in this world. Finally, the great empire was reborn.
In the Palace of Versailles, just outside Paris, in a palace like crystal. When William was proclaimed the greatest emperor in the world, the surrounding generals, ministers, and hundreds of civil and military generals cheered loudly as if they were crazy. Raise the sword in your hand and throw away your hat.
Three times in a row, shouting hooray-
Their dreams, the dreams of all the Goths, the dreams of the whole Gothic nation. It finally came true in William's body.
Think about the twenty years of fighting in the south and the north.
All this, all the hard work, was finally rewarded on this day.
Kaiser Wilhelm, the greatest ruler in the world.
Not only the greatest of the rulers of his time. At the same time, he was the greatest of all the rulers of thousands of years. He is the great ruler of one in a million. At the same time, it is also the best successor of the classical Gothic Empire.
When the Visigoths were finally brought under the rule of the great emperor, the great revival of the entire Gothic nation was finally completed. And William will also be forever recorded in history because of such great achievements.
this day.
At least for this day.
This day with clear skies.
William could relax.
There is no need to worry about the future of his family.
Perhaps there is no need to worry about the future of humanity.
There is also no need to feel a headache about how to appease the Visigoths and how to manage them. Of course, you don't have to plan to go south or north. Annexation of Britun. At the same time conquer the Asturians.
All this can be saved for later.
For now, at least, William can forget about all of these things. Pure happiness, excitement, and celebration of their victory with his loyal generals.
