Chapter 3024 The World Is Upside Down
Enfield is used to turning into a giant bear in battle, and bear claws are not as flexible as human palms. Conventional weapons such as swords are not suitable in beast form. In contrast, this pair of "Chaos Claws" The fist blade is like an extension of the beast's claws, perfectly matching its dire bear form.
In fact, the fist blade is a unique traditional weapon of the Wali tribe. In Qiao An's opinion, it is indeed the most suitable weapon for the "bear warriors" to exert their strength advantages. Unfortunately, no matter how perfect a cold weapon is, it cannot compare with a gun after all.
Looking at "Chaos Demon Claw" from the perspective of an enchanting profession, it can be called "+6 sharp edge power fist blade".
The enchantment level of +6 indicates that this is a pair of legendary weapons. The special effect of "sharp edge" strengthens the lethality of the fist blade, and the special effect of "power energy" gives the blade a force field attribute, which can pierce most damage-reducing armor.
In addition, "Chaos Claws" also has mythological characteristics. When one "mythical power" is activated, the "mythical chaos hammer" can be released by colliding two fists.
Chaos energy explodes in various colors and spreads in a 60-foot cone, dealing 15-level damage to all non-chaos-aligned creatures, plus "shock".
As a legendary mage, Joan basically doesn't use exotic weapons such as fist blades, but he is very interested in the spells attached to the "Chaos Claw", so he casts the spell to analyze the "Mythical Chaos Hammer" and writes it in in his own spell book.
By the time he finished his work here, it was dusk.
Slude drove the blue ice colossus as a pioneer, and under the cover of the armored knights, he was invincible and successfully conquered the last two positions of the enemy outside the city. There is now a flat river between the colossus and the city gate.
The soldiers of the Continental Army surrounded the giant ice statue and marched forward, preparing to launch a final blow to the city of Leiden.
At this moment, the giant eagle scouts in the air sent a message to inform the frontline commanders to suspend the attack.
Shortly thereafter, a white flag was spotted hoisting from the flagpole of Port Leiden Cathedral.
The officers and soldiers of the Continental Army talked a lot, speculating that the white flag meant that Earl Winthrop had decided to surrender, or that it was just an act of the rioting residents in the city.
Shortly thereafter, a Fizen officer carrying a white flag appeared at the head of Port Leiden, ending the dispute with facts.
The man of Fei flew down from the top of the city by casting a spell, and claimed to see the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. Roger Tyndale, Major of the Continental Cavalry, galloped up, searched him, blindfolded him with a handkerchief, and led him across the line. Come before senior officers like George Vassar.
The Feizhen officer who came to ask for peace was Earl Winthrop's adjutant and military mage Lieutenant Colonel Belfast. He presented the Earl's handwritten letter with both hands, requesting the Continental Army to stop the siege and discuss the terms of surrender.
Holden cast a spell to check the letter and handed it to the commander-in-chief after confirming that there was no poison or other traps.
Vasa opened the envelope and looked at it, then handed the letter to Prince Colofa, General Viglaf and General Green.
In this letter, Earl Winthrop had to face reality and accept the fate of defeat.
However, he still tried to save the last bit of face, hoping that when Kaesong surrendered, he could maintain the dignity of the Feizhen soldiers, and walked out of Leiden Harbor holding the battle flag and beating the drums.
Prince Colofa and General Viglaf thought that this request was not too much, and it was a good opportunity to show their chivalry to preserve the dignity of their defeated soldiers on the battlefield.
However, including Vasa and Green, the local officers of the Continental Army unanimously rejected Earl Winthrop's seemingly reasonable request.
On behalf of the generals under his command, Vasa explained to Lieutenant Colonel Belfast the reason for his refusal to tolerate.
"When Port of Princes fell, our commander Charles Gates offered you the same surrender conditions, but you refused, which humiliated General Gates and his subordinates! I'm sorry, but now it's your turn to be arrogant. Rites have paid the price!"
"Go back and tell your master Rawls Winthrop that the surrender conditions we offered him are the same as the conditions he offered to General Gates back then, that is - unconditional surrender!"
"Before sunset tomorrow, if you refuse to open the city and surrender, there is no need to talk about this topic in the future."
The threat implied in General Vasa's words made Lieutenant Colonel Belfast shudder, and he left the Continental Army Headquarters with a look of frustration.
The next afternoon, just before the Continental Army was about to launch another siege, the city gates were finally opened, and Lieutenant Colonel Belfast sent a reply from Earl Winthrop.
This time, Rawls Winthrop lost face and was forced to accept all surrender conditions offered by the Continental Army.
The next morning, according to the agreement between the two parties, the coalition forces lined up neatly on both sides of the avenue leading to Leiden Port. The volunteers from the Far East and Canaan were on the left, and the Continental Army was on the right. identities are commensurate.
In contrast to the mental state of the Continental Army, the Feizhen officers and soldiers in the city lined up to surrender, all unkempt, haggard, and depressed.
This elite army that once swept across the New World was no longer as brave as it used to be. The red military uniform was like a blood-stained rag, carrying a gun weakly, and walked forward under the contemptuous gaze of the enemy. The military flag was also rolled up and could not flutter in the wind like in the past.
Along with the combat troops, the military band of the Winthrop Corps also went out of the city to accept the surrender.
Perhaps to express the frustration in their hearts, these military bands played while walking and sang a Feizhen folk song called "Heaven and Earth Turned Upside down", which added a bit of sadness to the surrender ceremony.
...
if the honeypot chased the bees
If the boat lands, the church floats on the sea
If the horse rides the man, the grass eats the cow
If a cat is chased by a mouse
if a mother sells her baby
If spring and summer are reversed, the four seasons will be disordered
The world has turned upside down
The world has turned upside down

Historical materials: British troops surrendered at Yorktown ("Free Exiles" (USA) Maya Yasanoff)
On the anniversary of the Battle of Saratoga - a coincidence the Continental Army would not miss - Cornwallis sent a courier bearing a flag of truce to the enemy camp to negotiate a surrender.
At 2 p.m. on October 19, 1781, Cornwallis and his army walked out of Yorktown and surrendered to George Washington and his French allies.
They came out of that dreadful hell in neat ranks, "arms slung on their shoulders, banners crated, and drum bands playing a march from Britain or Germany."
Legend has it that the tune played by the band was called "The World Turned Upside Down" (The World Turned Upside Down).
