Chapter 402: Total Surrender
After the two powerful monarchs of the "Blood-Burning Dragon" family all fell, the rest of the people in the city effectively surrendered, and the Northern Kingdom's army soon entered the city to take over and control everything.
The city of Russ was greatly damaged in a short period of time, and many citizens in the city suffered heavy casualties. However, Darren, who was the initiator of everything, did not feel anything was wrong at all.
The people of Ruth City provided the "Blood-Burning Dragon" Castleton family with food, clothing, housing and transportation, participated in the construction of railways, collected various extraordinary materials and other activities, all of which gave support to the "Blood-Burning Dragon" Castleton family, and even During Kuroshio's investigation, most of the citizens were proud of the "Blood-burning Dragon" family, and they were not being squeezed unilaterally.
In addition to this, they also did many things for the civil war on their own initiative.
So are the dead and injured citizens really innocent?
Could it be that those who died in the East Coast Province over the years, and who still fully believed in the Fisher family until their death, did not die innocently?
Moreover, Darren firmly believes that if any preferential treatment is given to cities that are not active in surrendering, then the remaining cities are likely to imitate them. By then, every city will actively resist and fight one by one, even if they have a huge advantage. They might also suffer heavy casualties.
So his idea is simple, direct and efficient.
If you surrender, accept it; if you don’t, you will be killed! Kill him if he surrenders too late!
Because if you are allowed to regret and surrender midway, and then we immediately stop taking action, it means that the previous "tough" stance is completely meaningless.
There is only one chance to negotiate.
The city was captured, and the rest of the "Blood-Burning Dragon" family finally surrendered to Queen Peggy!
A white-haired grandson of Marquis Ladd, along with a dozen remaining direct members of the "Blood-Burning Dragon" family, all knelt down in the central square of the city. Everyone lowered their heads and waited for Duke Darren's verdict.
Over the years, too many people in the "Blood-Burning Dragon" family have been assassinated by "Death God" Chris, so the huge hatred that continues to accumulate is also the reason why they don't want to surrender.
Occasionally, some people still couldn't help but raise their heads and stare at the people around them with resentful eyes. This scene was seen by Darren who was walking over.
"..."
Darren, who was wearing a black coat, walked over silently, followed by three trusted members: the old dog, the emerald elf March, and the wolf-eared Alger.
He stared at the direct members of the "Blood-Burning Dragon" family and said very calmly: "Are the things for recording ready? It's about to start."
"Um."
The ugly old dog stood nearby and nodded, grinning, and took out a mysterious treasure-level item from his arms.
It is like a crimson gem with the unique function of recording images.
Duke Darren's voice became calm and full of majesty, completely inviolable.
"Marquis Ladd helped the heretic cult and committed treason, which is an unforgivable crime. He has been judged by Her Majesty the Queen and God in Nasir City and fell into hell!"
"Originally, our Majesty the Queen was extremely enlightened. She hoped that the Castleton family could return to the embrace of God and help her complete the unification of Siat. However, when we arrived, you were still depraved and refused to listen to dissuasion at all. Surrender in complete disregard of the mercy of a benevolent God and Her Majesty the Queen..."
When he said this, he paused and everyone looked at Darren.
"That's not what happened, they just made their own decisions!"
Those people still wanted to defend themselves, but they were suppressed by Darren's terrifying aura. They were frozen in place and unable to move at all.
Darren can fully feel that the sequence power of his fifth ladder is constantly being mastered, because he has been continuously creating "shadows" for the enemies since the siege.
The Shadow Path is all about spreading negativity in order to go further, and that's one of the reasons he chose to go to the extreme.
"There is no doubt that the Castleton family is also a family that has committed treason. The same crime is unforgivable. Therefore, our kind and noble Majesty the Queen is extremely angry and has ordered that you be completely removed from Siat. !”
Darren, wearing a black coat, looks like a dragon with black flames all over his body in everyone's eyes.
He said one last thing.
"May the merciful gods forgive your sins, and may hell punish you for your despicability."
Those members of the "Blood-Burning Dragon" Castleton family soon had an ominous premonition, and each one began to loudly beg for mercy, but there was no forgiveness at all...
Raging flames spurted out of Darren's hands.
The flames burn everything...
Be it life or glory, everything in the family was destroyed in the flames.
Darren looked calm and heard the wailing, crying, and cursing, and he could clearly feel in his heart that the sequence power of the fifth ladder "Devil's Shadow" was further mastered.
very good.
As long as he can quickly step into the sixth step, the safety of the Fisher family and the Dawn Order will be able to move to a higher level in the increasingly chaotic situation on the Oden continent.
He simply dreams of becoming more powerful!
After leaving the central square, Darren took out the crimson gem and said to March alone:
"In March, be the envoy of Little Queen Peggy. This dangerous matter will be entrusted to you. Go and give the mysterious artifact that records the image to the 'Mistwalker' Abernathy family."
"I hope they can surrender."
"Well, I understand." March was expressionless as always, and nodded to get the mysterious item.
Darren thought silently for a moment, and took out a black and red earring and gave it to March. It was the forbidden item "Dark Red Blood Moon" belonging to the "Burning Blood Dragon" family, numbered 4555. It has the effect of invalidating a fatal attack, and the price is to randomly lose a part of the flesh and blood on the body.
He still said indifferently and calmly:
"Don't die."
After March left, Darren went to the barracks again and found his cousin Chris.
"Uncle Chris, you can go with me. If the "Mist Walker" Abernathy family is determined not to surrender, you can directly kill the head of the family, "White Spirit."
Chris nodded lightly with an expressionless face, and then disappeared.
After the Northern Kingdom Army entered the city, it immediately began to record the population, check the losses and gains, search for fugitives one by one, deal with the problems caused by the destruction, and prevent the spread of the plague.
The whole city was running under the command of Aldrich Romen, who was undoubtedly the best at this in the coalition.
In less than a month, the "Burning Blood Dragon" family was completely wiped out, not only throughout the whole of Syat, but even most of the extraordinary nobles in the four eastern countries knew about it.
"Burning Blood Dragon" was destroyed!
The extraordinary nobles were all shocked!
In fact, compared with the mass death of thousands of ordinary people, the complete destruction of the old noble family was more likely to move the nobles who were also extraordinary.
They became more aware of the ferocity of the Fisher family.
So in the following time, the towns and cities that the Northern Kingdom Army arrived at chose to surrender without exception, and those people had no desire to resist at all.
Finally, before they arrived at Elfennia, the southernmost province of Syat, March brought back two direct members of the Abernathy "Mist Walker" family who came to surrender, as well as an important news.
The patriarch of their family, "White Spirit", disappeared recently.
"The White Spirit is missing?"
In the temporary military camp, after hearing the important news, Aldridge looked at Darren, and after thinking for a long time, he finally said:
"Sir Darren, you may not know that in my eyes, the 'White Spirit' is probably one of the most mysterious people in Syat. He has always had only one friend, Marquis Rad, and other than that, he often comes and goes alone and hardly talks to other people."
"I think his sudden disappearance is a bad sign..."
Darren raised his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
Recalling that in the eleven-year civil war, the "White Spirit" basically did not appear on the front battlefield. He was obviously a huge fighting force even though he was already a monarch.
"You tell me specifically about the situation of the 'White Spirit'."
He and Aldridge quickly asked the people from the "Mist Walker" family, and found that even the people of the "Mist Walker" family knew nothing about the situation of the head of the family, the "White Spirit".
That man is obviously the head of the family, but in fact, he is in a similar state to Chris in the family, elusive, and now he has simply upgraded to the situation of Kano...
In the temporary military camp, General Archibald, the strongest of the "Disaster Road" of the Dawn Cult, has been listening all the time. Finally, he shook his head and spread his hands, saying indifferently:
"I don't think it matters. There is no extra information on this "White Spirit". Even if you think too much, there will be no results at all."
"Let's focus on other things."
Darren fell into deep thought. Deep in his heart, he always felt that there were some secrets in the "White Spirit", but as Archibald said, it was meaningless for him to be entangled for the time being.
——
At this moment, the Siat Royal City.
Dozens of royal family members of the Yadley royal family are discussing anxiously and worriedly. What should they do next?
"Let's surrender. It's not too late to surrender now. Those families who have chosen to surrender are fine!"
"The Castleton family was massacred, but they surrendered!"
"That's because they surrendered too late! The army is about to arrive in the capital, and it might be too late for us by then! Send people to surrender now!"
In the magnificent room, the royal family members were arguing constantly. Many people called for surrender in despair and fear, but many people felt that they could not surrender just like that. They believed that the Fisher family and the Roman family would never let them go, and they should seek help from the outside world.
Even if half of the country was given away, they had to take revenge on the despicable Fisher family and the Roman family!
And the arrival of a man gave them a third way.
That man was the monarch who once tried to rescue the "Sword of Redemption" and the second person in the Church of Redemption, Cardinal Albert Saxon.
He seemed to have distorted the space, causing invisible waves here suddenly, and the next moment the whole person had arrived here.
When everyone saw Cardinal Albert, they all fell silent and dared not speak nonsense.
The Church of Redemption and the Church of the Sun are the two most powerful orthodox churches!
Their influence spreads across several continents around the world, second only to the two great empires of Lorn and Qiyao. Moreover, the two great orthodox churches have countless followers, and their influence has penetrated into every aspect of people's lives. Even the two great empires of Lorn and Qiyao dare not offend the churches easily.
The oldest man with the highest status among the royal family members at the moment immediately knelt on the ground, took deep breaths, shed tears, and pleaded painfully:
"Great Light of Redemption! Are you here to save us, the descendants of your blood? Cardinal Albert, please go to the battlefield and destroy the Fisher family and the Roman family!"
"You are the strongest extraordinary person under the apocalypse of the Oden Continent, you can definitely do this!"
Facing the expectant eyes of the crowd, Cardinal Albert was silent for a while, shook his head gently, and just said calmly:
"I can take you away and protect your lives in the name of the Church of Redemption, but I can never directly attack the secular extraordinary nobles, as that would destroy the 'rules' they set from the beginning."
Seeing the disappointed eyes of the crowd, he said impatiently:
"Hurry up, make your choice."
