Chapter 699: Chapter 699: Persuading the Surrender (2)
The aristocrats are corrupt and depraved, and they have long been mourned. It's just that the high-end power has been controlled by the aristocrats, and the people at the bottom can only continue to endure.
Now that the flag of Aslan appears, a large number of people agree with each other wherever it passes by. The reason why the Snow Fox Legion reacted so fiercely is because Dilan City is now under the tide, and many resisting forces have emerged one after another, trying to fight against the people outside the city. The unified army should cooperate from the inside and the outside. Although they don't have enough strong men, once they attack when the unified army is fighting, it will definitely make the defenders in the city unable to look after each other.
"What is the Marquis Aslan's request?" Duke Durandal asked, already considering all possible proposals in his mind.
"The Marquis of Aslan allows you to surrender with all your wealth, but all the land must be kept." Cromwell said.
Duke Durandal seemed to have prepared for it long ago, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"So simple!"
Cromwell also opened his mouth wide subconsciously, and he didn't expect Duke Durandal to accept it so easily.
The Duke of Durandal is indeed the oldest duke in the kingdom, but he is also the duke he can see the most. With Aslan's current policy, it is impossible to keep the land, and the confiscation of the property under his name is also expected.
But Aslan only confiscated his land, not his wealth and title, which was enough for him to squander the rest of his life, and he even had savings to leave to future generations.
As long as they settled down in Merlot City, as long as those useless sons did not break the law, the perfect legal system of the Merlot Charter was enough to ensure that the children could enjoy their old age in peace.
It was much better than in Cleveland Commonwealth. Once he died, that child would be eaten by other nobles until there was no bone left.
More than a hundred years ago, nobles would still pay attention to eating appearance, but today's nobles in the kingdom don't care about their looks anymore.
"The Duke?" Cromwell asked tentatively, "You have already considered it."
"Nonsense, is it possible to die with the broken ship of the Commonwealth of Cleveland?" Duke Durandal changed his nervousness and worry just now, and said boldly.
Cromwell nodded, secretly praising Duke Durandal for being so thick-skinned that he could speak of surrender so proudly.
"What about the Snow Fox Legion in the city? These guys have a lot of fighting power, and it's a bit difficult for our army to eat them." Cromwell asked, there are some things he can ask, but he can't say.
"Stabilize them first, and then send someone to ask Marquis Aslan to deal with them," Duke Durandal said.
Obviously, he already planned to dedicate half of the Snow Fox Legion to Aslan as a token of honor.
Cromwell immediately went to make arrangements. When he came out of the tower, he immediately took over the defense of the city defense army and formed an elite force to defend the city. This made Owen, the deputy head of the Snow Fox Legion, nod involuntarily. Can't help but decide.
But he also kept a hand, letting people monitor the situation at the east gate where Cromwell was at all times.
In the middle of the night, the city gate guarded by Cromwell opened wide. This scene was immediately discovered by the soldiers of the Snow Fox Legion who were monitoring. The door was closed.
The elite of the city defense army had been in ambush for a long time. As soon as the Snow Fox Corps appeared, they shot out indiscriminately, knocking down nearly a hundred people in the Snow Fox Corps in an instant.
The remaining 900 people took advantage of the terrain to shoot at the city defense army.
The shouts of killing immediately sounded from the east gate, but the main force of the city defense army was not dispatched. Obviously, this was the defection of individual officers. Owen led the main force to kill at the east gate. He must kill Kerenway with his own hands. Er the traitor.
In the middle of the night, there were loud gunshots and shouts of killing at the East City Gate. From time to time, professionals rushed into the crowd and started killing, causing the entire East City Gate to be completely plunged into melee, and the scale of the melee was getting bigger and bigger.
At the other two city gates, a large number of heavy armored troops of the United Army equipped with Melo A-type knight armor and Melo B-type guards entered the city.
Owen never expected that the biggest surrender boss in Dylan City is not Cromwell, but the Duke of Durandal.
Cromwell led the city's elite to fight fiercely with the Snow Fox Legion at the East Gate. His purpose was simple, to attract the main force of the Snow Fox Legion. It was only when the East Gate was closed again that Owen noticed that they had been blocked. In the Dongchengmen area, 50,000 people almost crowded the entire Dongchengmen area.
"Something's wrong!" Owen's expression changed.
"I just found out now, it's too late." Cromwell's voice sounded on the city wall, and then he saw and heard a sharp whistling sound, the sound was so dense that Cromwell's scalp went numb.
He remembered the artillery bombardment of the first line of defense by the United Army, but this time it was different from the last time. When he heard the sound last time, the shells had already reached the walls and fortresses, but now the sound sounded, and the explosion was delayed.
Rumble!
Intensive explosions sounded in the DC area, focusing on the area where the Snow Fox Legion was located.
Although the power is not as powerful as the KL07-type 155mm field gun, the victory lies in its large quantity. Soon the high-ranking experts of the Snow Fox Legion forcibly broke through under the artillery fire. Lo A type knight armor and Melo B type guard.
The wearers of these steel monsters can only be controlled by a swordsman-level professional at the worst. In addition, the leader is Le Anning, the barbarian patriarch, and Barong, the half-orc warrior's mentor-level powerhouse. He is also the first A mentor-level powerhouse of a half-orc warrior.
These strong men are wearing Melo B-type guard armor, and they are definitely the group with the strongest defense in the unified army.
Seeing these steel monsters, Owen knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, and shouted decisively: "Come on, go back to the south gate."
Owen led nearly a thousand high-level professionals to collide with these steel monsters, and then he was beaten to death. Owen was even cut into two pieces by Laianning's sword. Originally thought it was an evenly matched fight, As a result, it took less than half an hour to end in complete annihilation.
Cromwell subconsciously crushed the bricks of the city wall. Only at this moment did he understand the true horror of the United Army. When attacking the anti-Mei line of defense, they were just trying their hand at a trick.
When Duke Durandal saw this scene, although his expression was calm and stable, he kept shouting in his heart.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fortunately, I surrendered, otherwise I would be dead."
The city of Dilan fell, and the United Army created a military miracle here. It only took three days to take down the Yashian Province, which was fully armed.
This is no better than rushing to Yalan Shi Province on the spot, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and striking out with lightning.
This is a true push all the way.
