Chapter 169: The Battle of Unification 11
Mars did not say allegiance to him, but service to the kingdom, and for a reason, Mars, who was well versed in history, understood that any allegiance would be vulnerable in the face of interests, except, of course, those who believed in glory.
Therefore, Mars felt that instead of letting them betray themselves for the sake of profit, it was better to tie them up with interests, although Raymond was his younger brother, he did not have much family affection, and it would be false to talk about feelings.
Raymond was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I always want to contribute to the kingdom and do something for you, my mother said that she will always be your mother's attendant, and I will always be your loyal guard, whether you believe it or not." ”
Mars's heart rippled slightly, but he quickly calmed down, he was no longer an impulsive youth, not a fighter who threw his head and spilled blood because of the slightest shock.
He just smiled faintly and said, "Raymond, I officially appoint you as the deputy commander of the Protector Legion, and all the affairs of the Legion are decided by you, because I don't have time to command a legion, but I ask that the Protector Legion must be a legion that dares to fight and sacrifice bravely after a year, and a legion that will do whatever it takes to protect the kingdom, do you understand?"
Raymond suddenly knelt on one knee and said aloud, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Mars then issued Raymond's letter of appointment and threw him in the Protectorate.
On the tenth day of rest, Mars ordered the Sunset Legion to recover Nia, the Royal Family and the Wind Castle to recover Kodagar, and he himself led the Protector Legion to recover Lonna.
Walking in the wilderness of Nia Province, Mars looked at the road under his feet, he felt that there were many things in the future, such as the road under his feet, he felt that an asphalt hardened road and a rail train should be built between the provinces, which would not only facilitate the transportation of materials, but also make the trade between the provinces more frequent, and the economy of the Sunset Kingdom would also grow rapidly.
However, building roads and railtrains is not a one-time thing, it has to be done slowly, and does he really have that much time?
Mars has not forgotten the remaining life of his life, three years!
Of course, there are not three years now, there are only two and a half years left, and he has only touched the threshold of a mid-level peak magician now.
Therefore, no matter how busy he was, Mars never slacked off in his magic cultivation.
But the future of the kingdom seemed to be weighing on him, making him feel suffocated, if the alliance refused to cooperate with him, then the future of the Sunset City kingdom would be more difficult, and the fragment of information from Qiuqiu seemed to have no future.
Not only does the kingdom have no future, but all humanity seems to have no future either, and everything will be destroyed.
Mars is now very curious, what is the force that has caused the Lapus civilization to be almost destroyed, and let mankind hide in a small world to survive?
Was it the civilization he saw through the eyes of the voyeurs?
Mars shook his head slightly, these seemed to be very close to him and seemed very far away, if the millennium was approaching and the human race was completely destroyed, then the alliance should not watch all this destruction.
He even felt that the alliance was not as simple as it seemed, and no one knew how many legions, how many saint-rank powerhouses, and how many powerful magic weapons there were in the alliance.
Raymond wanted to talk to Mars, but seeing that Mars had been silent, he didn't dare to disturb anymore, during this time, he had been running in with the Protector Legion, but because of his young age, those high-ranking knights did not respect him, which annoyed Raymond very much.
However, Raymond knew that this was because he was too young, but he was not prepared to tell Mars about these trivia, and he was going to rely on his strength to earn the respect of the Legion.
Five days later, the Protector Legion descended on the city of Lonna.
But Lonna City did not open the door to greet it as imagined, but closed the city gates, and the city was defended by soldiers, with deep anger in his eyes, and he looked like he was defending the city.
There were a number of mid-ranking knights and ordinary soldiers in the Protectorate Legion, who were from Lonna, and Raymond called one to Mars's side.
Mars asked, "Do you know who the defenders are?"
When the soldier saw that it was Mars, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the defender of the city is Nell, the second son of the governor of Lonna, if Your Majesty needs it, I am willing to swear by my mother's name, let me wait for the people of Lonna City to enter the city, and then unite several great nobles in the city, and I will definitely take the city and present it to Your Majesty!"
Mars frowned slightly and said, "No need!"
Immediately, Mars ordered: "Set up camp ten miles away from the city, and then tell me that Mars Quinn, the king of the Sunset City Kingdom, has arrived in Lonna City, and ask the defenders in the city to open the city and surrender, otherwise, when the city is broken in three days, it will be the day of the slaughter, and the king's order cannot be violated, and the defenders are asked to respect themselves!"
The herald trembled and immediately gave the order, and Raymond, when he received Mars's order, immediately carried it out, and ordered the king to be Sabumars.
Although there are many people in Lonna City in the Protector Legion, they know that this is the time to test their loyalty, they all swore allegiance to the king and did their best for the kingdom when they joined the Protector Legion, and now, they simply cannot rebel.
Because Frank is a great knight, who would dare to commit a mutiny?
Lonna City.
When the defenders of the city heard Mars's order, they immediately fell into chaos, after all, the governor of Lonna had died, and he had taken almost all the soldiers of Lonna City, so that Lonna City was actually quite empty, with only 500 defenders.
And Mars's Protector Legion has a full 30,000 men, and Mars's 500 Guardian Corps, which is enough to easily attack Klona City.
The news quickly spread in Lonna City, where there were three major nobles, one was the Quinn family, one was the Grace family, and the other was the Parsi family.
Now only Nell Quinn has an official position in the Quinn family, and he also leads the only remaining five hundred defenders, when Nell got his father Kafsky died inexplicably, and the eldest brother was nowhere to be found, anger replaced reason, and even began to recruit troops in Lonna City, but Lonna City's finances were not rich, and after the war with King Mars began, most of the money was taken away by Lonna Governor Kafsky.
Therefore, there were only five hundred soldiers defending the city.
The other two nobles deliberated overnight and finally made a decision, which was to kidnap Nell and sacrifice the city to Mars in order to ask Mars for forgiveness.
Nothing happened overnight.
Early the next morning, Mars came out of his tent early, and saw the white flag raised over the head of Lonna, and the messenger came quickly to report.
"Your Majesty, the city of Lonna has tied up a man to kneel at the gate of the city, and a white flag has been raised at the head of the city. ”
Mars smiled faintly, as if this was expected, and he ordered: "Order the legions, the whole army into the city!"
