Outside Mars City, in the Phoenix rebel camp, the general's tent was brightly lit. WWw. QUAbEn-XIAoShUo. Com soldiers were nervously guarding the perimeter. The enemy was so powerful that it was no longer a question of whether they could capture Mars City, but when the enemy would launch a counterattack.
The rebels were very passive. There were no big cities in the north and they had nothing to rely on. Going south to join the war in Sun City would be equivalent to abandoning the entire north.
There was also chaos in the big tent. This rebel army was gathered by hundreds of nobles. It was originally intended to capture Mars City, stabilize the north, and support Sun City.
In the tent, a dozen of the most powerful nobles frowned. There were three pieces of paper placed on the table. These three pieces of paper were carried on homing pigeons shot down by mid-level archers in the army. The notes had the same content written on them, and the nobles were worried because of these three notes.
The carrier pigeon was flying to Mars City, and the content was to inform the commander of Mars City that the Metatrin Kingdom and the Bitter Water County had formed an alliance, and the armies of both sides were advancing and retreating together. In the north of Phoenix, the Kingdom of Metatrin is temporarily dominant.
Before this rebel army attacked Mars City, Saleen and Rex had not formed an alliance, so this news was very shocking. There is a huge difference between a substantial alliance and verbal friendship. With this alliance, no matter how far away the Bitter Water County is, it will not worry about this city because the Kingdom of Metatrin is too close.
There is one earl in charge of this big tent, and the others are all viscounts. The Grand Duke of Phoenix has the right to reward nobles, but the highest level is viscount. The earl is still hereditary. His ancestor served in the army of Holy Rock City and later became a noble of Phoenix, and the title has been passed down. The other viscounts obtained their titles from Sun City.
The viscounts all looked at the count, who was in a daze. He is not an idiot and understands the meaning of this covenant. Now the Metatrons can come to Phoenix blatantly, and the reason is Rex's five thousand troops. The two sides are allies. When the troops of Bitter Water County are attacked, it is tantamount to declaring war on Metatlin. At this time, the soldiers outside the big tent came in to report that Mars City sent someone to deliver the message.
The person who delivered the letter was an aborigine from Mars City. He was left outside and the letter was taken to the main account. The count opened it and his hands were trembling. He is not afraid, but angry. The other party tried to persuade him to surrender in a very blunt tone. Mars City's army would not keep prisoners of war if they did not surrender. "Your Excellency, what is written in the letter?" The nobles around saw the count's ugly face and couldn't help asking. The count thought for a while and circulated the letter to everyone. After reading the letter, the nobles had different reactions, but everyone Everyone's expressions were shaken.
The army in Mars City is extremely powerful. After several contacts, the Phoenix rebels have never gained an advantage. Now even the enemy's strength exceeds theirs. A direct letter is not an insult. This is a naked threat, warning. The earl saw this and sighed: "What do you think?" Of course we will fight to the death! "A marquis said indignantly.
"Haha, fighting to the end means death. Don't hold on, everyone. How ferocious the Metatrons are. You have all heard of the one hundred thousand expeditionary force of the Holy See. For some reason, not one of them survived. They were all killed by Meta. The Terin people were massacred." The Earl's tone was low, and he continued: "I still have five thousand soldiers under my command and decided to withdraw from the battle. If you object, you can attack me now."
The nobles were stunned, but heard the Earl continue: "The alliance between Metatlin and Bitter Water County is unstoppable, and Holy Rock City must have recognized their status. It is better for us to surrender to Metatlin than to Holy Rock City. The relationship between them is only short-lived. Peace. Sooner or later, we will get our land back." "But, Lord Earl, if we surrender, won't we lose everything? The Metatrin people want land!"
The count glanced at the nobleman who spoke, and said: "But can we get everything back with our current battle? If we surrender, we can start over. I heard that the king of the Metatrin Kingdom "accommodated a lot of people" The nobles of Phoenix, and the nobles of Garulan. Although these nobles do not have land for the time being, their private property and even soldiers are protected."
Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, the earl added: "Many of the troops that entered the Mars domain during the day were the original Phoenix noble army. Didn't you see it? Why did they go out and why did they come to fight us? It's because as long as they win , you can get the land.”
The nobles lowered their heads, and the earl continued: "It's not that we are unloyal, but the old duke is dead, and the young duke is also dead. How old is the new grand duke left to us in Holy Rock City? I don't know if he is of Phoenix bloodline.
To whom do we owe allegiance? The Phoenix family is almost dead now. Holy Rock City is ruthless. Those of the Phoenix bloodline who can survive are already their slaves. Do they still care about our loyalty? "
The earl continued to confuse: "We join the Kingdom of Metatrin and are the founding nobles. We still have an army. King Metatrin will never reject us. Giving us the corresponding status will make this northern nobleman tempted. .What can we gain if we fight to the end?" Lord Earl, is Phoenix really over? "A viscount asked. After he said this, he suddenly choked up. The nobles around him were affected and couldn't help crying.
They gathered all their wealth and soldiers and wanted to respond to Sun City because they were unwilling to do so. Unwilling to accept that Phoenix's thousand-year glory has come to an end.
Although Phoenix is a vassal state of Qin Yin, it is a legendary country. The earliest Duke of Phoenix was once an indomitable figure.
Only the Qin Empire had two huge principalities. That was because the original Grand Duke Fenix was so dazzling. If it weren't for the unprecedented founding emperor, Grand Duke Phoenix might even have established a dynasty.
After the Principality of Phoenix was established, Qin Yin's army never appeared on the land of Phoenix again. In addition to the hereditary nobles, the other nobles in Phoenix are all locals and have been awarded by the Grand Duke of Phoenix from generation to generation. These nobles were unwilling to give in, so there was a rebellion.
"Glory has to end one day." The Earl said painfully: "Phoenix is over, and we can no longer find the bloodline of the Grand Duke. Holy Rock City just wants to take back all the land and use our citizens to fight and sacrifice. However, we still have a way to resist and join the Metatrin Kingdom!"
The earl's voice suddenly rose and he said to everyone: "The only requirement for our surrender is that the Metatlin people can never surrender to the Qin Empire! If the king of Metatlin does this, we will leave the kingdom. , Find your home again." "But, will the army in the city agree to our conditions?"
"We are just surrendering. The king who stops attacking Metatrin will meet us in person and let us become his nobles. He will agree to this request. Otherwise, he does not have to form an alliance with the Bitter Water County at all." "My Lord Earl, We listen to my wife." The viscounts in the big tent expressed their gratitude one after another.
"Call the barons and let the soldiers prepare. If these people don't agree to surrender, just tie them up." The count did not dare to neglect. Many barons also participated in the rebellion, and more or less, they had a More than a hundred soldiers. Although the baron's status is not high, it would be troublesome if they all rebelled.
The night is dark, and the troops in Mars City are already gathering. Before dawn, if the troops outside have not responded, they will launch an attack.
Although Salin's sixth battalion was the most elite, it did not anticipate the rebellion in Phoenix when it set out, and its equipment was not targeted. The second battalion came with a large amount of equipment for field operations. If the rebels outside do not surrender, the second battalion will lead the nobles' army in a massacre.
Saleen's various magic weapons were already very close to those of the Holy Rock City's army. Phoenix's army was very different in equipment, otherwise it would not have been slaughtered by the heavy infantry of the Sixth Battalion like melons and vegetables, killing a large number of cavalry.
If there was no difference in equipment between the two sides, it would be very difficult for the heavy infantry to kill the heavy cavalry, at least not on the plains.
The lights of the camp outside the city came on, and almost an hour later, more than two hundred soldiers, protecting a dozen people, approached the south gate of Mars City. This group of soldiers carried square flags torn into three pieces. These flags were all white, indicating that they were surrendering.
The soldiers at the top of the city immediately sent the news to the city lord's palace. The officers who were preparing to launch breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news. Although everyone believed that there was no suspense in this battle, with similar troop strength, their own losses were unavoidable. The enemy surrendered, which was a huge achievement.
When the generals of the second battalion left, Salin had secretly told him that if he could persuade a noble to surrender, he would give his second battalion a credit. If you kill a noble, the credit will be halved. If the Phoenix people were allowed to run away, he would be the flag captain.
On the top of Mars City, the lights immediately lit up, and the city gate slowly opened. The troops in the city had been reorganized, and they were not afraid of enemy sneak attacks. These two hundred soldiers, even if they were all swordsmen, could not capture them. Mars City.
Rex's officer also sighed. Salin's army put tremendous pressure on the other side. This surrender was beyond his expectation. Little did he know that Salin deliberately let the carrier pigeons be released nearby, causing the carrier pigeons to fly to the wrong place and be captured by the Phoenix rebels, which psychologically dealt a blow to the Phoenix nobles. Salin's intention is obvious. He is not here to simply fight, he wants to occupy the land.
This is also due to Gu Ya and others. These young people with noble backgrounds have analyzed the people of Phoenix very thoroughly. This rebellion is just the last struggle of the Phoenix people. As long as they are given a little hope, Saleen will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the north. This hope is that the Metatrin Kingdom is not a vassal of Qin Yin.
Surrender sometimes requires an honest reason. F! ~!
