There were only more than 200 people in Phoenix's surrender team, including more than 50 nobles in addition to soldiers. Www,QuANbEn-XiAoShUo,comThere are dozens of barons who were tied up and guarded in the camp.
The Phoenix people walked to the city gate. The soldiers dismounted, took off their armor and placed it on the ground. The nobles took off the badges on their chests. Everyone spoke at the same time and sang a low and sad song. Phoenix, the immortal Phoenix. Our glory will illuminate the dark night. The mountains and rivers are long. The flag of the Phoenix is flying forever. Phoenix, the immortal city-state is built with the blood of my land. Phoenix... Phoenix... The surrendered nobles and soldiers walked into the city gate, singing and singing. , some soldiers were already barking silently.
The surrender ceremony was very simple. The nobles handed over their badges, wrote down documents, separated their soldiers from those of other nobles, laid down their weapons, and accepted reorganization.
There was a video recording of the surrender of the Phoenix people in the Magic Chair, and they were sent back to Metatrin City overnight. The news spread and the North was shocked.
Sixty thousand troops surrendered en masse! Even if the Phoenix people are not as brave as the Qin Yin people, this is still unacceptable. Mars City is not on the center line of Phoenix, but rather to the north. The land north of Mars City is less than one-third of the entire Phoenix. The city to the north is less than a quarter of the entire Phoenix.
The news spread in the north, and this was Salin's deliberate decision. Then, Saleen copied the magic image and distributed it to the second battalion, asking them to take the magic image to various city locks in the north to persuade them to surrender.
The songs of the rebels spread throughout the north of Phoenix along with the troops trying to persuade them to surrender.
This is Phoenix's elegy, and the effect is huge. Except for some nobles who committed suicide, most nobles chose to surrender. Everyone knew the meaning of that elegy. Phoenix's bloodline has been severed, and what they guarded has completely perished.
It is inevitable that Holy Rock City will occupy the south of Phoenix. Surrendering to the Metatlin Kingdom is just the last thing these subjugated nobles can do. Phoenix is destined to die, and with it comes the rise of the Metatrin Kingdom in the north.
In mid-September, before the arrival of Metatrin's winter, Salin met with the surrendered Phoenix nobles in Metatrin City. These nobles who surrendered were not only the people north of Mars City, but also the nobles south of Mars City.
It took Guderian City's army two months to capture Sun City. Both sides suffered heavy losses. The Phoenix people in Sun City resisted desperately, but in the end they could not avoid the fate of failure.
Many nobles saw this clearly and fled to the north in advance, completely surrendering to the Metatrin Kingdom. As expected, Guderian City's army did not cross the front line of Mars City. Instead, they expanded a large city two hundred miles south of Mars City, facing Mars City in the distance.
This means that Holy Rock City recognizes Metatlin's occupation of Mars City and its actual ownership of the northern land.
This was also the helpless choice of Holy Rock City. Rex Fenjia Loulan Southeast launched a powerful offensive, driving away several main legions of the Holy See and occupying three large cities. The land area controlled by Rex in Garulan is almost a quarter of that controlled by Holy Rock City. Such a strong combat power forced Holy Rock City to adopt a tolerant attitude in Phoenix.
There has been no reliable reply from Yunliu. Although half of the Titan Principality was occupied, Emperor Yunliu did not choose to form an alliance with Qin Gu. Shengyan City is now ready to face attacks from all countries at any time, and of course it cannot cause civil strife.
Metatlin built a large city in the southeast of the Rhine to contain the Principality of the Rhine from marching to the northwest of Phoenix or Qin. This was just a gesture. If Metatlin's army was attacked in Phoenix, the army in this big city would not support him. Qin, because of its assistance in defense, might even take a helpful attitude towards the Rhine Principality's attack.
It's not that Holy Rock City is incapable of defending itself, but there is an undercurrent among the nobles in the south. The House of Commons spies in the south have received information that some nobles are already colluding with the Yunliu people. As for the reason, it was because Prince Sephiroth excluded the late emperor's daughter, Princess Rex.
For this reason, Prince Sephiroth had to endure. One-third of Phoenix's land was as light as a feather compared to the nobles of Qinyin in the south.
Salin's envoys also arrived at Holy Rock City and established an embassy. Prince Sephiroth was not without gain. At his request, Salin sent an envoy to the Rhine Principality to ask for an alliance.
The envoy group was driven out of the Rhine Principality, and Holy Rock City finally found an excuse to gather its forces south of the Rhine Principality, ready to launch an invasion at any time. Salin established two more cities in the east of the Rhine. These two militarized cities were not large and were purely prepared for war. In one of the cities, Rex's army was stationed, and in the other city, surrendered Phoenix soldiers were stationed. Qin Yin, Kushui County, and Metatrin formed a situation of surrounding the Rhine Principality.
In Garulan, Qin Yin's army also pushed the battle line to the west of the Caucasus Mountains with the help of Alchemy City, controlling most of the land in Garulan.
Holy Rock City contacted Metatlin again and asked Metatlin to declare a state of war against the Rhine Principality. Of course Salin will not be used as cannon fodder and can declare war, but Metatlin will never launch an active attack.
Holy Rock City had no such intention. The price paid by Prince Sephiroth was just to sell countless grains to Saleen at a low price. In Qinyin, the grain in the granary is piled up like a mountain. These grains are more than fifty years old. Even if there is a warehouse built by a magician, they will be disposed of as waste. Qin Yin has never been short of food, so it doesn't matter if the food that is about to rot is given to the Metatlin people.
Salin didn't suffer even more. He gave him a low price. Later, he even went to Chunyin to transport all the food that was about to expire in the warehouse and paid the freight himself.
Prince Sephiroth didn't know that Salin had elven magic and could make pills to satisfy his hunger. He heard that Metatrin was buying war horses, and he only thought that Salin wanted to use these old grains to feed livestock.
Metatrin declared war on the Rhine, and the Principality of the Rhine simply regarded Salin as crazy and ignored him. Moreover, winter is coming, and Salin's army on the border is less than 100,000, which cannot threaten the Rhine Principality at all. In this situation, Saleen met with the captives - the nobles of Fenikjin.
Salin did not retain the titles of these nobles, nor did he strip them of their powers. this. These nobles have become a special group of beings in the Metatrin Kingdom.
They owned property, soldiers, and had a higher status than merchants and lower status than nobles. If you want to get a title, you have to fight with Salin and gain meritorious service. Relatively speaking, it is easier for them to obtain merit than others.
Salin did not directly reward these surrendered nobles because he was afraid that these people would not have a sense of belonging. In order to let these nobles understand their power, Saleen organized a boudoir ceremony in the largest arena.
The Metatrin Kingdom expanded rapidly, and absorbing the common people of Phoenix was what Salin valued most.
What makes Salin happiest is that Shika is pregnant. Sikka and Salin did not use the elf potion, but the potion was almost finished and Salin was ready to use it later.
There was a festive atmosphere in Nanyuan, and the Caucasians were even more excited than Salin. With the permission of the elders, they started a carnival. The descendants of the priest directly inherit part of the priest's abilities and will grow faster than any Caucasian. The fact that Shika has descendants is almost equivalent to having another earth priest for the Caucasian people.
At this time, Saleen also discovered the extraordinary qualities of Sikka. All the Caucasian warriors who were close to her increased in strength very quickly. Salin's temple legion often came into contact with Sikka, and almost all the Caucasus warriors in it reached the level of swordsman or above. level. This is an ability even more powerful than divine magic. Those warriors don't pray all day long.
Just when everything in Metatrin was developing rapidly and going very smoothly, the fleet of the Yunliu people appeared in the southeast of Garulan, off the sea, in a place called Panhu by the Qinyin people.
This huge inland lake borders the southern part of Qin Yin to the east, across the mountains, to the west is the Principality of Titan, and to the north is a small part that happens to border the Garulan region controlled by Rex. There is only a width of more than two hundred miles, and it is not a mountainous area. However, when lL entered the territory of Jialulan, the Yunliu people's fleet appeared here, obviously targeting Rex. The Yunliu people's envoys landed here and came to Daliang City established by Rex.
Daliang City was rebuilt on the basis of the old city and was equivalent to the capital of Kushui County. Rex stationed 100,000 troops here to prevent the Yunliu people from sneaking attacks from behind. The fleet that Saleen promised her had not yet been established, and she only had a small fleet offshore, not really a fleet.
The fleet of the Yunliu envoy ignored Rex's fleet and sailed directly to the shore. In the small town on the shore, some people had already sent out carrier pigeons to send the news to Daliang City.
In the prince's palace in Daliang City, a seven-story magic tower once stood. Rex received the news in the magic tower and suddenly became uneasy. People in Yunliu are too lazy to contact Shengyan City, so why send envoys here? "Invite Nicholas to come here." Rex remembered Nicholas who had not left yet, and immediately ordered his magic apprentice.
Not long after, Nicholas came to the sixth floor of the magic tower. The seventh floor was where Rex's wizard lived. Rex could only practice on the sixth floor.
"Your Highness, are you looking for me? I'm about to go back." After Nicholas escorted Rex back, he was retained by Rex and participated in several important battles and gained a lot of benefits. But it was already September, and he was going back to Metatlin, and was about to say goodbye to Rex. "Nicholas... The Yunliu people have sent an envoy." Rex pointed to the information brought by the carrier pigeon and said to Nicholas.
"Your Highness, are you worried? If you want me to stay, I need your lord's permission. I have to go to Broken Blade Pass to supervise the final construction." Although Nicholas was polite to Rex, he was Salin's servant and could not He has been working for Rex, and he is always a little uneasy because it is too close to the Holy See army.
"No, I heard that magicians have a powerful ability called prophecy. I want to know, what is Yunliu Ren doing?" ∫ To be continued, D! ~!
