Officers of the Wells and Dawson family watched helplessly as the wolf-like black cavalry smashed the Menam family's central army position to pieces, and they couldn't help feeling a sense of sadness in their hearts.
The Menam family was over.
This is their only consensus.
Even on the frontal battlefield, the Golden Lions were actually at a disadvantage and were forced to retreat step by step by the heavy armored infantry, but when the black cavalry suddenly rushed out from behind and cut off the handsome flag, the Menam family It is inevitable that the elite former army fell into chaos.
Even if the former army wanted to retreat, it was too late, and the Golden Lions would not let them go easily at this time.
What's more, once the rear army of the central army collapses, the Menam family's army will become a headless snake, unable to command and dispatch in a unified manner, they can only fight on their own, and will only be defeated one by one.
"Master, are we going to support?" an officer of the Dawson family asked Wells.
Resisting the urge to curse, Wells gave the person who asked the question a vicious look, but did not answer.
Support shit!
The Dawson family had just fought to the death with the Maynam family, how could it be possible to support them now
What's more, with the Uman family watching from the sidelines, Wells is almost certain that as long as they dare to act rashly, the Uman family will definitely attack aggressively.
Seeing the tragic situation of the Maynam family, Wells did not want the Dawson family to repeat the same mistakes as the other party.
"Let's withdraw our troops..."
Wells suggested hesitantly.
But this kind of bastard proposal made all the officers of the Dawson family bow their heads.
Everyone's reaction immediately made Wells realize that he had said something stupid.
What is the use of withdrawing troops at this time
Not to mention whether it can be withdrawn, even if it is withdrawn, what is the use
When the St. Hilde family calms down the chaos in the northern border, won't they free up their hands to clean up the Dawson family
At this time, all the officers were looking forward to the safe return of the Marquis Dawson. Even if the Marquis was not there, it would be better to have Earl Falco, than to let this incomprehensible Wells come up with his own ideas.
"I think it's better to ask the St. Hilde family for peace." An officer suggested in a muffled voice.
"Yes, yes! We should continue the peace talks, continue the peace talks!" Wells yelled repeatedly as if grasping at a straw.
But before Wells sent an envoy for peace, the envoy from Winter City arrived at the Dawson family's position first.
However, the emissary was wearing a priest's robe.
When all the officers were in doubt, Wells was overjoyed, grabbed the pastor's hand, and asked eagerly:
"Did the archbishop send you here?"
The pastor nodded with a smile, and then withdrew his hand indistinctly.
"Praise the Lord of Radiance!" Wells was so excited that there was a hint of crying in his voice, "I knew the archbishop would not give up her most devout believer!"
"Your Excellency Wells, the archbishop is willing to help the Dawson family and the St. Hilde family reach a reconciliation, but she also needs you to show some sincerity, otherwise she will not be able to speak for you."
"What sincerity? As long as our Dawson family can do it, just order it!"
"It's actually very simple." The pastor said with a smile, "The Menam family has brazenly invaded the northern border, and has been listed as an enemy that must be killed by the St. Hilde family! If you can lead an army to help attack the Menam family, then, The St. Hilde family will also consider forgiving the Dawson family for their previous betrayal."
Wilston hesitated for a while.
It's not that he doesn't want to attack the Menam family. After all, the two families have already torn apart their faces before, and there was a fight last night.
However, the Marquis of Dawson is still in the hands of the opponent, and Wells is worried that his attack will make the Maynum family choose to jump the wall and kill his father.
After expressing this doubt, the pastor smiled mysteriously, approached Wells, and whispered:
"Your Excellency Wells, do you want to inherit the title of the Dawson family?"
Wells' eyes were fixed, his heart skipped a few beats, and he asked evasively, "What do you mean?"
"Your Excellency the Archbishop asked me to tell you that she can help you get rid of Earl Falco. As for your father, Marquis Dawson... Hehe, with all due respect, with his previous behavior of betraying Marquis Garcia, the St. Hilde family is absolutely Will not let him go.
Therefore, even if he can survive from the hands of the Menam family, he will definitely not be able to escape the trial of the St. Hilde family!
So, are you really willing to let the Dawson family be implicated along with him? "
Wells' heart was pounding, and he really wanted to ask what happened to his elder brother, Earl Falco, but he didn't dare to ask when the words came to his lips.
After pondering for a long time, he finally raised his head again, and there was already a little bit of ambition in his eyes:
"Okay, I am willing to follow the archbishop's advice! I also hope that the archbishop can help the Dawson family get a decent ending!"
The mage nodded with a smile and said, "Of course! The archbishop will never give up on his devout followers!"
After receiving the archbishop's promise, Wilston immediately felt that he had a backer. After sweeping away the previous decadent and dazed state, he immediately reorganized the army and began to attack the left wing of the Menam family's position.
At this time, the army formation of the Menam family has reached the brink of collapse.
The Golden Lion Legion had already pressed up from the front, and the Black Cavalry entered from behind, galloping freely, dividing and strangling the central and rear troops of the Menam family, making it impossible for them to regroup.
The addition of the Dawson family immediately became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Facing the cruel reality, more and more soldiers of the Menam family dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.
Of course, there is no shortage of heroic fighters who are not afraid of death in the Menam family, but their stubborn resistance in the face of the glorious situation is like a moth to a flame, which is useless except to add some heroism and sadness.
From the moment the Marquis of Menam appeared in the Black Cavalry, he already knew that the battle would be fatal, and when the Dawson family's army also turned against each other, he fell into complete despair.
The Marquis of Menam, who was in a rage, immediately drew his sword from his waist, turned around and stabbed at Marquis Dawson.
Facing the stabbing long sword, Marquis Dawson not only did not dodge, but also showed a look of relief on his face.
Chi!
The long sword passed through the chest, and the Marquis Dawson looked at the fellow dwarf in front of him, with a mocking sneer on the corner of his mouth, hissed:
"I am in heaven, waiting for you!"
Such an attitude drove the already furious Marquis Menam into madness. He roared and cut off Marquis Dawson's head, and chopped his body into seven or eight pieces before giving up.
Afterwards, the Marquis of Menam held his bloody head and ordered:
"Raise the white flag and surrender."
…
The afternoon sun was very strong, shining on the blood-stained land.
Groups of vultures are flying and circling in the air, ready to swoop down for a feast at any time.
"Father!"
When the Marquis of Menam was escorted in front of Colin, Earl Anka on the side immediately rushed forward.
The Marquis of Menam's eyes were empty, and he ignored the son who came running. He just knelt down in front of Vera and Colin, put the head of Marquis Dawson in front of him, and waited quietly without saying a word. on trial.
Vera turned her head to look at Colin, obviously not knowing how to deal with the Marquis of Menham.
Ke Lin was also polite, and immediately took a step forward, and pronounced:
"Marquis Menam, you and your family are not welcome in the northern border. Therefore, after this battle, please return to the Crimson Flame Territory immediately. Unless you have the permission of the Saint Hilde family, you are never allowed to set foot in the northern border again!
In order to compensate for the harm your actions have caused to the people of the northern border, all your family troops will remain in the northern border as slaves, working for the northern border until they die.
At the same time, the Menam family needs to pay the St. Hilde family a total of 8 million gold coins in war reparations, which will be paid off in five years.
Are you willing to accept these conditions? "
The Marquis of Menam was bleeding, but he knew that he had no room for bargaining.
If it was before this battle, he might still be able to fight for an ending in which the entire army was withdrawn from the northern border, but now, it would be good to save the lives of the members of the Menam family.
Of course, he also knew that Ke Lin didn't kill him just to save face for the royal family.
And the Menam family, which has lost all its troops, is burdened with heavy debts, and naturally it is impossible to become a threat to the St. Hilde family. As time goes by, I am afraid that it will slowly sink and never return to the past. glory.
And the dream of the dwarves to establish a nation will also become an unattainable luxury.
Thinking of this, the Marquis of Menam couldn't help feeling sad, choked up and said:
"I... I am willing to accept!"
At this moment, Colin showed a satisfied smile.
Not far away, Wells Dawson, accompanied by a priest, also came to Colin.
When Wells saw his father's head, his eyes shrank slightly, but the expression on his face was very strange.
There is both sadness and fear, but also rejoicing and hidden joy.
"Dear Miss Vera, respected Viscount Angelet! Your most loyal servant, the Dawson family, begs for your forgiveness!"
Looking at Wells lying on his knees, and then at the priest beside Wells, Colin chuckled, as if he understood something.
Colin rubbed his chin and smiled at Wells: "Wells, your attitude of begging for forgiveness seems not sincere enough."
When Wells heard this, he immediately nodded in understanding, and then crawled up to Vera on both hands and feet, kissing her toes, and said loudly:
"Dear Miss Vera, the Dawson family begs for your forgiveness!"
Colin looked at the second son of the Dawson family who had no dignity, smiled disdainfully, and then nodded to Vera.
Only then did Vera nodded coldly, accepting the other party's apology.
Wells was relieved, and continued to praise the kindness of the St. Hilde family loudly. The ugly posture was simply unsightly.
Colin watched the clown's performance with a smile, and began to think about how to deal with the Dawson family.
Of course he wouldn't let the other party go so easily, but judging by Wells' appearance, the Dawson family must not be able to cause any trouble.
So far, the rebellion in the north has finally come to an end.
