Chapter 229: Surrender

"Taranto's warriors, this victory and defeat have been clear, if you don't surrender now, when will you wait?"

Anthony's voice was still calm, echoing through the world.

Although his current image is a bit embarrassing, in the eyes of everyone, especially those on Taranto's side, there is only endless shock and awe in their eyes.

Just because the one who died in front of him was a famous general in the mainland, the top master of the Golden Realm, Franky!

In the flickering of the figure, there were a few more people around Anthony.

Caton, Moore, Copper Hammer!

The three golden fighters didn't need any words or movements, and the majestic momentum was like the waves of the sea, and they rushed towards Taranto's military formation, overwhelming them.

"Lay down your arms and surrender on your knees!"

Tang Feng saw it clearly, and immediately ordered to go down, so that his subordinates shouted in unison and surrendered loudly.

Once the shout sounded, it instantly spread throughout the entire Brilliant Emperor ** Array. Immediately, all the glorious Imperial warriors who were surrounded shouted in unison.

"Lay down your arms and surrender on your knees!"

"Lay down your arms and surrender on your knees!"

……

With a thud, as the long knife fell to the ground, a Taranto soldier slowly raised his hands and knelt on the ground.

With the beginning, everything will be easy to do later.

As if as a signal, with the sound of weapons falling one after another, the Taranto army of thousands gave up their senseless resistance and surrendered.

Taranto's middle army, Grand Duke Kochis's whole body trembled, and his face turned pale. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell on his back.

The top master who followed him like a shadow at all times hurriedly dodged and reached out to hold him.

But in a short period of time, the Duke was already as much as gold paper, and his breath was like a gossamer.

"I lost, I actually lost...... I don't want to......"

The voice grew lower and lower, and finally fell completely silent.

The big picture was settled, and Anthony finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he relaxed, he only felt that his spirit was in a trance, his whole body was sleepy and weak, and he just wanted to find a random place and fall asleep.

Caton took a step across, reaching out his hand behind his back without a trace.

"Boy, you're getting better and better, but you're not growing at all. Look at every time you fight, you end up half dead, and you have to bother my old man to clean up the aftermath for you. ”

Anthony only shook his head and smiled bitterly, speechless.

Indeed, in the Grand Duke's palace of Edwards, he barely drove the Immortal Flying Knife, and finally fainted with all his strength; In the counterinsurgency battle of Taranto, he resisted the frantic bombardment of the enemy's mage troops, and finally fell to the ground; Today is a little bit of progress, although it is also exhausting, but I can still support myself to stand for so long.

"Let's go back."

Anthony said softly, his voice tired.

Moore and Copperhammer followed, and the two exchanged glances, both of which saw a deep shock and excitement in each other's eyes.

This young man, who is related to the rise and fall of the two races, is even stronger than they imagined. What's more, he has grown up at an unattainable pace.

In this way, it is likely that the things that the Goddess of Fate said will come true.

……

After Frankie's defeat and death in the pinnacle duel, the long war soon came to an end.

Grand Duke Kochis vomited blood and died, and all his henchmen and trained dead men committed suicide. The only martial arts master who stepped into the fourth realm took advantage of the chaos to leave, and he didn't know what to do.

In addition, all the soldiers and generals of the entire Taranto army gave up resistance and surrendered.

This result would not surprise anyone on the side of the Brilliant Empire.

From the moment Anthony came with a large army and the encirclement was formed on all sides, this result was already predestined. The only thing that is uncertain is how many lives Taranto will have to pay before he surrenders.

But Anthony was not too satisfied, at least he still had a regret in his heart.

Princess Arina put her arm around him, nervously examining his injuries, asking questions of concern.

Caton Swordmaster squinted to the side, just like a father watching his daughter about to be abducted by a wild boy who came from nowhere, and he was actually a little sour.

Since Princess Arlina was very young, the Swordmaster Caton had been by her side. When it comes to the time they spend together, King Beckenbauer, the real father, is really far inferior to the Sword Master.

"Look at the regret on your kid's face, but because you can't recruit that Frankie? I don't understand, why would you want to pull him to our side? ”

Lord Sword Saint finally couldn't bear it anymore and made a noise to stir up the situation.

As everyone knows, Anthony was waiting for him to speak, and Princess Arina's enthusiasm and concern were too much for him to feel a little overwhelmed.

"General French, as I later learned in detail, is a pure soldier worthy of respect and admiration. He was loyal to his country and selfless. For the sake of the great cause of the Riga Empire, he did not hesitate to go deep into the enemy territory alone, causing us great trouble. ”

Speaking of this, Anthony's expression gradually became serious and formal.

"From a hostile position, we must of course make him a priority target and get rid of him as soon as possible. But if he's on the same side as us, he'll add a capable commander to my glorious empire, a trustworthy companion to whom he can be trusted. ”

The people around were quite surprised, they didn't expect Anthony to speak so highly of this opponent.

Princess Arlina snorted, dissatisfied.

"You admire him, but they don't appreciate him at all. And he did his best, not hesitating to sacrifice his life, but also to pull you to the end. ”

Anthony smiled wryly and reached out to caress the princess's hair as a comfort.

Princess Arlina squinted her eyes slightly, like a kitten, quite enjoyed. The resentment against the famous Riga generals was put aside for the time being.

"The Taranto rebels can't attack for a long time, and we can't hide the arrival of the army. If Frankie had been willing to protect himself, he would have been able to retreat and leave safe before my army was encircled. But he still refused to give up and persevered to the end. Even if the siege is complete, with his superb skills as a golden fighter, he is quite sure to take advantage of the chaos to escape. But he made up his mind that he would risk his life to eradicate me, the greatest potential threat to the Riga Empire. This kind of personality charm of loyalty and patriotism and sacrifice at the expense of the monarch can not be admired. ”

Tang Feng glanced at him and said softly, "Since Frankie is absolutely loyal to the Riga Empire, isn't your solicitation doomed to be in vain?" ”

"That's right!" Lord Sword Master slapped his thigh, very excited. He seemed keen to raise the bar with Anthony, "If he is really loyal to the Riga Empire, you kid will be in vain if you want to dig into the wall; If you surrender to him so casually, it shows that your so-called loyalty and patriotism to him are just hypocritical superficial efforts, and this person is not worthy of your attention at all. No matter how you look at it, it's a stupid thing for you kid to go head-to-head with him. ”

Anthony didn't refute, but nodded, agreeing with the Swordmaster's statement.

"That's right, Frankie's character determines that we can't succeed in soliciting success. But such a talent is worth taking a certain risk and making some attempts. But now that it has failed, there is nothing more to say. ”

What Caton and Tang Feng said, Anthony didn't think about it. It is absolutely impossible to let Frankie turn against the water, and then lead his troops to attack the Riga Empire. As Caton said, if he can do such a thing, it means that he has lost his eyes.

But Caton also didn't know that in Antony's heart, the Riga Empire was their enemy and their target to conquer. But that's not the only goal.

It's just that with the fall of a generation of famous generals, all this can only turn into dust. Although there is a lot of turmoil, it will eventually fall into the ground and fall silent.

Accepting the surrender of the rebels in Taranto and dealing with all the affairs of the rebel soldiers, Anthony was left to General John, the commander of the Aberdeen army.

From the mutual contact during the counterinsurgency in Taranto, it seems that although General John's command of the battle lacks a bit of flexibility, it may be a little difficult to become a famous general in the world. But he has a solid foundation, and there are no obvious shortcomings in all aspects such as marching, arranging, camping, and fighting, and he can be regarded as a typical academic school. It is very appropriate for him to do these complicated things that do not require adaptability.

The young general led the middle and high-ranking generals of the army under his command to the gate of the imperial capital.

Before the start of the Battle of Burgundy, Antony had already received an urgent military situation from the crisis of the imperial capital. After completely annihilating the 20,000-mile army led by Schindler, he led the elite to the rescue almost non-stop.

Despite the critical situation, Anthony is calm and clear, and he knows what is important.

The imperial capital is in danger, so naturally it has to be saved. However, the Huaishui Pass on the eastern front is also an extremely important link in the overall situation, and it must not be overlooked.

Therefore, Anthony came with only more than 3,000 elites who had fought guerrilla warfare in Burgundy and played Schindler's ********, plus General Muller's Tiger Cavalry Regiment.

The rest of the large army also set off at the same time, heading to Huaishui Pass to support Grand Duke Mattesias, who was getting tighter and tighter on the front.

As he walked, the young Müller muttered.

"I was looking forward to appreciating the pinnacle duel between the two military masters, the Great General and Frankie, but in the end, it became a solo battle between the two martial arts masters. The last time I rescued the Aberdeen counterinsurgency army was missed because it was one step too slow, and now that Frankie is dead, there will be no more chance. What a pity! ”

Müller's mouth was chattering to himself, and his heart was full of regret.

Suddenly, there was a shout like a landslide and tsunami in front of him, which frightened him so much that he almost jumped.

Hurriedly looked up, only to see that the gate of the imperial capital had already been opened, and both sides of the road inside and outside the city were densely packed with people, just like his own group walking in it cheered loudly.

The straight passage left behind stretched deep into the imperial capital, and at the end of there, His Majesty King Beckenbauer, the supreme ruler of the Glorious Empire, waited silently.

Looking at Anthony and the others who came over, His Majesty's face was already smiling like a flower.
