689 Chapter 689: Surrender
"Come as soon as you come, the worst is to surrender to the United Army, and you will die anyway." The old squad leader said heartily.
The other sentries couldn't help showing panicked expressions after hearing this.
"Squad leader, be careful! If the nobles listen to it, our entire outpost will be ruined."
"Damn! Don't listen to the nobles. By the time of the autumn harvest, our whole family, young and old, will be finished. Don't you know before we come out? This year's grain production has been greatly reduced, and the spring harvest is better. At least we commoners can still make a living, although If you don’t have enough to eat, just bear with it, but the autumn harvest is just around the corner, and the grain harvest will be reduced by another 20%, the private army of the nobles and lords may not have enough to eat, maybe it’s our turn for commoners?” The old squad leader was full of faces Said sadly.
The other sentinels were also in a daze. Before they went out, they had heard that the land at home might not be rented by the noble lord this year, let alone the seeds and rations left behind.
"Do you remember how we lived before the war with the Marquis of Aslan? Even after paying the nobles' land and food, we still have surplus food that can be sold to the Marquis of Aslan. His chamber of commerce has never The lower prices were all slightly lower than the market acquisitions, and that was definitely the best time we lived.”
The old squad leader continued.
The middle-aged man nodded in agreement and said, "Yes! Because it sells food to the Tianping Chamber of Commerce, the Tianping Chamber of Commerce will occasionally bring some cheap cloth to sell to us. Last year, our whole family had clothes to wear."
With the agreement of the middle-aged man, for a while, there was a heated discussion in the entire outpost.
Suddenly, clear and crisp applause sounded, making the people in the entire outpost stunned. They couldn't pick up their martial energy and look in the direction of the applause.
I saw a man wearing a gray camouflage uniform, a steel helmet on his head, a new-style rifle on his shoulders, and a bulletproof armor that was very familiar with armor.
"United Army!" The middle-aged man shouted with a trembling tone.
"That's right, we are the unified army under the command of the Marquis Aslan. I just heard what you said, are you willing to surrender?" The soldier put the dagger in the thigh strap and asked gently.
The old squad leader quickly grabbed everyone around him, took a deep breath and stood up.
"Can you keep us safe? And the family."
As soon as they heard the old squad leader negotiating with the other party, several people also calmed down and looked around vigilantly.
"Of course, as long as you are willing to surrender, you are also the people of Lord Marquis, so your lives must be guaranteed." The soldier raised his hands and said with a smile on his face.
"Let me enter the outpost better! If the patrolling knights find out, it will be really dangerous."
The old squad leader nodded and let the United Army soldier enter the post.
The outpost is not big, only a dozen square meters, with a total of two floors, the upper floor is a beacon tower, as long as a little spark is thrown in, it can send out a thick smoke warning.
"Everyone, you should be clear that the nobles are all vampires. They want to suck our blood dry. Not only us, but also our children, grandchildren, and nobles will not let them go. They just want to suck my blood endlessly." , let us be their slaves forever, but the Marquis of Aslan is different, the lord is committed to building a new world where everyone can eat and clothe, and now the province of Melox has achieved it."
"As Cleveland natives, the lord naturally doesn't want you to continue living such a hard life, so we are here."
The old squad leader's blood boiled in his heart, but on the surface he still looked vigilant.
"You really won't kill us?" the old squad leader asked again.
The United Army vanguard took out the food in his pocket.
"You should eat something first! Now you have no choice. I heard that this year's grain production has been greatly reduced. The Marquis of Aslan is your only choice."
The old squad leader took the compressed biscuits and canned food, stared blankly at the things on hand, and didn't know how to eat them at all.
"Old squad leader, we have no choice." When the middle-aged man heard about the reduction in food production, the last line of defense in his heart collapsed. He was dead anyway, so he might as well be a dead ghost.
What's more, the Marquis of Aslan has always been a representative of Ai Min Ru Zi.
The middle-aged man took a piece of compressed biscuit and fiddled with it for a long time before the soldier tore open the package.
"This way you can eat."
The middle-aged man followed suit, and after taking a bite, tears couldn't help but flow out.
"tasty!"
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the rest of the people also started to eat. The last few people looked at the old squad leader's can, and the soldier said with a smile: "Use a knife to cut open the iron sheet on the top, and then put it on the fire to bake. Meat will taste better."
Hearing someone, everyone's eyes lit up, and they quickly began to operate.
Seeing everyone eating, the old squad leader asked nervously, "My lord, what are we going to do next?"
The vanguard smiled and said: "From now on, you just need to keep it as it is. Our army will quickly cross here, and you just need to keep it as it is."
The old squad leader immediately understood and couldn't help but get excited.
He got an important message from the words of the vanguard, that is, the Marquis of Aslan sent troops to attack the Commonwealth of Cleveland.
The sharp soldiers came out from the outpost, and several figures immediately walked out of the darkness.
"Point three has surrendered."
The other people nodded, leaving only two people to watch, and the rest quickly walked to the blockade and moved towards the hinterland.
In order not to expose the whereabouts of the army, they eliminated all fifteen outposts along the way, thirteen of which surrendered, and the other two were all killed by them just as they were about to light a fire as a warning.
Now the army can drive straight in, and the vanguard team began to cooperate with the patrolling Cavaliers. The Cavaliers can only disappear for three hours. If the patrolling Cavaliers do not return within three hours, the Cleveland Army will definitely be alarmed.
They only have three hours.
The old squad leader gathered together to eat the meat in the can, and the compressed biscuits were dipped in the soup inside, eating with relish.
Soon, they heard the sound of dense footsteps, the middle-aged man and the old squad leader secretly stretched out their necks to watch, and then saw a scene they will never forget, the endless team is quickly crossing the blockade they are responsible for .
The orderly marching team was as quiet as a chilling cicada throughout the whole process, and there was no abnormal noise except for the sound of footsteps. The most important thing was the speed of the march. Composition of professionals.
Only professionals can burst out at such a marching speed, ordinary soldiers can't catch up with them even if they try their best.
