Chapter 32: The Rebels Surrender

[[[CP|W:899|H:469|A:L|U:http://file2.biquge.info/chapters/20147/15/3072028635410472750720877864380.jpg

"On behalf of the tens of thousands of Ishbal soldiers and civilians, I surrender unconditionally to the army of Amestories. ”

Standing at the head of the surrender procession, the religious leader of Ishbar, the great monk Zhengrogu Luou, with a hoarse voice and vicissitudes of life, came out of the ruins and gave up resistance as a representative of the Ishbal people.

Formal surrender to the Army of Amistolis.

This was the first time in several years that the counterinsurgency was represented by the Supreme Leader and unconditionally surrendered to the Army of Amestories.

There have been talks about peace talks before, but they have basically been negotiations on the condition of independence rather than surrender.

It was the first time that the supreme leader of the other side came out of the rubble and made such a formal offer to surrender like this one.

For the first time, the Battle of Ishbar, which lasted eight years and caused the turmoil of the entire Amsterestories, and which lasted nearly three months, caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Ishbars and more than 10,000 Amistolis soldiers, for the first time, had the possibility of an end.

There is a silver lining for peace.

"As the de facto leader of the Ishbals, I, the Monk of Ishbal, Rogu Rou, am willing to take full responsibility for the whole rebellion, and I only hope that the mighty and merciful President of your country will spare the ignorant and poor people of Ishbar. They have already paid their fair share in the war. Please stop, we are willing to accept any conditions you offer, and we, the Ishubals, the Amestories, surrender unconditionally. ”

The soul of the rebels came out without any conditions, indicating that the enemy really wanted to surrender and that the dawn of victory had really come.

"Hooray!"

Someone suddenly shouted, then a second one, and soon after, all the soldiers of the Amerstories Army on the front line began to fire their guns and shout, and began to celebrate the end of the war.

Seeing the soldiers of the Amesstories Army on the opposite side walking out of the trenches, out of the bunkers, out of the fortifications, excitedly waving bullets into the sky,

The Ishbal rebels in the encirclement of the core did not fire.

Their will to resist has collapsed, because Ishbal is a theocratic people, and the religious leaders are almost absolutely in control of the national mind.

The religious leaders made the surrender, and even the rampant rebels did not dare to say no.

Because the religious leader is the spokesman and messenger of the gods on earth, what he says is an oracle.

If you disobey the oracle, you will not ascend to heaven.

This is what the Ishbals fear the most.

Therefore, even if the Amestorius army on the opposite position messes around again, they will try to endure it as much as possible.

Because it seemed to them that the war ended the moment the religious leaders surrendered...... Because it's ......

"May the gods bless you, Your Excellency the valiant commander of the Amestolius Army, for your courage has blinded the god of war and eclipsed the heavenly Shinjuku heroes."

After some time, he was tied up with a rope by several soldiers and taken to the headquarters of the Southern Raiders.

With a gloomy expression, the monk was bowing his head and saluting the commander who had been facing away from him since he entered the door.

"It's all old acquaintances, so why be so formal? Your Excellency, Monk? ~”

With aqua blue hair, jewel-like eyes, and a lively and cute smile, he wore a strange white Amestories military uniform (which he had changed in private), but there was nothing wrong with this look.

This commander ...... Isn't this girl ......

"Dr. Aisha?!"

Not only the senior monk, but even the entourage recognized that the so-called commander in front of him was actually Aisha, the doctor Aisha who had treated the senior monk in the Lockbell clinic a few months ago and saved the lives of countless Ishbal people.

"What? ~ I haven't seen you for three months, so you can't recognize me? ~”

Still looking innocent, Estes smiled and greeted several warrior monks who had greeted him, the two who were injured in the first dozen and two and the two who carried the monk in the end were there.

plus the monk, the five people lived.

"You're a spy for the Amess Storis Army?! Mean guys! We trust you so much! ”

Remembering that because he had treated the monk, several people regarded Estes as a good person, and the warrior monks were extremely angry at this time, eager to come forward and teach Estes a lesson.

"Bump-" "Bump-"

But before the red pupils and black pupils who were standing on the side could react, they went up directly and gave the two warrior monks who wanted to use force a knee blow.

Put down the two guys, coincidentally, the two most impulsive are the two warrior monks who were beaten by Estes when they met.

"It's not right for you two to say that, I was studying and taking a sabbatical at the time, not on any mission, and treating the Ishbal people to treat you is also sincere, and I have always respected and admired the culture and civilization of the Ishbal people. Before the campaign began, I had always wanted to be a good scholar of Ishbal culture in the future, in my spare time. ”

When Estes said these words, his expression was sincere and solemn.

Even the guards standing at the door felt that the girl in front of her seemed to really like the culture of Ishbal and went to Ishbal to investigate, it was really not to investigate the enemy situation and obtain information, it was really unintentional~

"I have always admired and longed for the beliefs and gods of the Ishbal people. And aren't these portraits a testament to my piety? ~”

Holding in his hand the albums he had brought back from the Ishbal Scouts, he held them in his arms as if they were treasures.

If it weren't for the fact that Estes never believed in gods or anything, even the red pupils and black pupils were almost deceived by this shameless guy, and the pious and shining eyes were simply at the level of a movie queen. Although it is not known if there are any Academy Awards in this country.

"Many places are gone, but the dawn of the god Ishbal still shines on the earth, doesn't it? ~”

"In that case, if Your Excellency loves Ishbal culture so much, then why did Your Excellency join the army? What about war with us? ”

The monk asked Estes rhetorically, there were not so many cunning things in the old man's eyes, and Estes knew a little about this old man in Ishbal.

He was a pedantic and pure believer, and the command of the army was in the hands of a few hard-line leaders at the time, and those leaders were killed by Estes when he left the city, and it is for this reason that the extreme attacks of the Ishbal groups began to gradually decrease after that.

This is the result of the more moderate monks taking away the power.

"Just as Your Excellency, who originally liked to fight, participated in this war, I also want to protect my people and subordinates."

From the time the other party entered the door until now, Estes only told the truth

"Then why can't we let our people be free and happy? You just need to get out of the city. ”

Hearing the monk's mention, the soldiers at the door instantly became angry, ready to teach this stinky old man who didn't know the times a lesson.

But Estes raised his hand to stop him.

"Your Excellency's topic is far away, you should stay these words with the President when discussing the surrender with the President~ Let's discuss the surrender of your troops now...... I loosen the tie to the monk. ”

As he spoke, Estes asked the red pupil to loosen the rope for the monk.

"Please be seated~"

"Thank you."

"Need coffee?"

"No thanks."

Look at the opposing commander...... Or maybe Aisha was still so respectful and friendly to the monks, and a few of the Ishbal monks and the soldiers outside thought that Estes was forced to participate in the war to protect his people.

She hopes that this war will end soon and that there will be peace on both sides.

In the whole room, except for the two sisters with red eyes and black pupils, they still looked natural, and the black lily seemed to remember some bad memories from before, and her eyelids couldn't stop jumping.

McDowell looked friendly and calm, with a very formulaic official smile.

"First of all, as the supreme commander of the front, according to the general regulations, you are required to provide an explanation of the location and number of your current personnel, especially armed personnel, as well as the current situation of your ammunition depots, weapons and equipment. At the same time, we will discuss how to transfer the defensive positions, the specific time and place of the surrender of your army, and the reception of prisoners after the war. ”

Very formally, Estes took out a form, the name of the form was:

Matters Concerning the Basic Regulations for the Post-War Surrender of Ishbal

It's very formal, obviously already prepared, and the other party is waiting for him to surrender.

"We have 70,000 remnants in the city of Ishbal, including 60,000 women and children, and armed men...... About eight thousand people. The specific subdivisions are 1,000 in the eastern city, 2,000 in the western city, and 5,000 in the central area, that is, around the temple and around the sacrificial square and the main temple. Ammunition and weapons were basically depleted, and the machine guns were already out of ammunition. ”

"And what about the north side? Why didn't the north say it? ”

"There are basically no troops in the north anymore, and in order to defend the central area of the temple, the troops in the north are basically in the center."

"Then there will always be some remnants of the troops, right?"

"About three hundred, no more."

"Please mark the location and assembly point of your remaining troops on the map, and I will send someone to collect the prisoners in a moment. Need to know where you are. ”

"A lot of them are thirteen or fourteen-year-olds...... They will also be ...... Taken into custody? ”

"Are they counted among the 8,000 armed men?"

"Well, that's counted."

"Since you are all counted, we can't be an exception~ Please continue to say it, Your Excellency Monk, I am recording it."

"That's pretty much it. We also have three ammunition depots here, but...... It's all empty, and there's no ammunition left. ”

"I see, please sign this slip ordering the soldiers to surrender so that I can let your soldiers know that you did indeed make them surrender to us."

"Okay, no problem, I can have my escort accompany your people to surrender, so there will be no problem."

"It's better this way~ Ah, piggyback, do you know where the Rockbells are now? The war is over, and I think it's time for them to go home too. ”

"Of course, they are now in the area of the Saida district near the south side. Not too far from the temple. ...... here"

As he spoke, the monk marked the new location of the clinic.

"Do you know where Uzi Mosula's family is? Have they moved? ”

"I'm sorry, but I know Uzi is a very smart kid, but I don't know if they've moved now, where they are now. Anything else to know? ”

"No, Your Excellency Monk Zheng, you can go to the President to discuss the status of the Ishbal people after the specific surrender~"

With slightly squinted eyes, Estes's smile was so brilliant and radiant.

"I will leave two retinues to take you to collect the guns and weapons, please rest assured."

"For the words of His Excellency the Great Monk, I have always trusted it, and I hope that you and His Excellency the President will negotiate smoothly, and may the Almighty God Ishubal bless you~"

As he spoke, Estes bowed to the monk with his palms together very formally

"I hope the gods bless you, good lady commander."

"Come on, send the monk Zheng and the representative to leave~"

………………

Seeing that the monk was negotiating with the two guards, the other two went to follow their own people to collect their weapons and walked out of the gate.

The smile on Estes' face disappeared immediately, and the temperature in his eyes instantly dropped from zero to zero, breaking the freezing point.

The feeling in the house has returned from spring to winter.

It's like returning to the ice field during the Great War in the Northern Race.

"Black Lily."

Estes screamed coldly, and Black Lily calmly stepped forward to listen to the command

"Inform the field heavy artillery units of the coordinates of the enemy's stronghold, and wait for the order to prepare for the opening of the artillery."

"Yes."

It seems that he had long expected Estes to play this hand, and Black Lily didn't say anything, and went out with the shelling coordinates.

"Ellie."

"Yes."

"Inform the front line to collect the troops, and after collecting the weapons, directly surround all the rebel positions, but don't get too close, and be careful of artillery fire."

"Yes."

Estes's acting skills are good, but he can't fool McDowell, who has both detective insight and politician cunning.

Picking up the phone, McDowell sent Estes's order to the front-line troops as plain as water. Prepare the troops before arriving at the garrison with the emissary of Carlochi.

"Black pupils and red pupils, follow me to pick up people in Saida District. We are now taking advantage of the blockade of the enemy. ”

If it is time to enter the Saida area through the enemy's control area, then there is no time except for now. It takes three hours to get from the headquarters of the Great President by car from the headquarters of the Great President.

Within three hours, Estes' forces would have collected the rebels' weapons and completely surrounded the enemy.

At the same time, the artillery will be ready to fire at any time.

"Captain."

After thinking about it for a long time, the red pupil spoke first

"What's the matter?"

"Why?"

"What?"

"Let the troops collect their equipment and besiege them?"

"This is the basic step of surrender."

"What about the artillery?"

"To prevent accidents."

“……”

"Why don't you speak?"

"I ......"

"Sympathize with these rebels? Reminds you of your people? ”

"Hmm."

"It's cruel to say that, but I must say that if the President gives the order to attack these damned rebels, I will happily carry it out."

"But the president may not give such an order."

"Believe me on this, our great president, Kim Bradley, will never agree to the end of the war of annihilation. He'll let the fight continue. ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because I know him, I know him, he is such a man who shows no mercy to provocateurs. Bring your weapons and follow me, and the three of us will go to Saida...... Black Lily! ”

"Yes...... What are the requirements......"

"You'll be ...... Never mind...... It seems that you have some shadow about this kind of thing, so let ...... Let...... Let Deputy Commander Glenn take my place! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Estes felt that it was not difficult to finish the work, and it was no problem to hand it over to the old man.

"Let Colonel Gran act as my commander, he is already the deputy commander, I can rest assured that I will leave it to him. Sue him, I have something to do to go to Saida District. ”

The deputy commander of the Southern Raiders was Colonel Gran. This is the appointment of the Great President.

"So what should I do?"

"What else can I do? Show me home! I'll go back with the red pupil and the black pupil. Pack the team in the meantime, and listen to Old Man Gran's orders, and Ellie will assist you. ”

Then, Estes took the red pupils and black pupils in the direction of Saida.
