Chapter 648: Surrender
The fighting power of the royal infantry was terrifying, and in just ten minutes, the city walls were completely lost, and all the defenders began to flee.
The servants behind followed behind the royal infantry, who were a little faster than the royal infantry, and although they didn't have the same amount of running training as the royal infantry, their armor wasn't as heavy as the royal infantry.
Therefore, the speed of their pursuit is quite fast, which is exactly what Delseth meant, if they do not annihilate all the enemy's routs, they will make it more difficult to attack the main fort after they escape into the main fort.
In this way, the minions pursued and killed the enemy who had no intention of resisting, and they kept slashing the fleeing enemy from behind.
Few enemies dared to stop and engage them head-on, so the minions suffered few casualties and killed a large number of enemies along the way.
When the enemy ran below the main fort, they were left with only a few hundred men, and as they fled, the servants were chasing after them like maggots on tarsal bones.
In such a situation, even Count Maras, who was inside the main fort, did not dare to let the main fort be opened, and once the gate of the main fort was opened, then the enemy would surely break in like a tidal wave through the gate while the soldiers entered.
Therefore, Count Maras did not dare to let the soldiers in at all.
Count Maras stood by the window, looking at the soldiers who were struggling desperately below the castle, screaming and begging in their mouths, and his heart was dripping blood.
It was the strongest power he had accumulated over the years, but now he was going to be buried here, and his heart was extremely remorseful, he hated his naivety and ignorance of the sky, and listened to the slanderous rumors of other nobles to provoke Delceth, but now he has this result.
His fortified castle had only been conquered by the enemy so easily in less than a day.
This is also something he didn't expect before, who would have thought that the castle on which the nobles relied for their survival and entrusted all their wealth would fall into the hands of the enemy so easily.
Count Maras simply didn't understand why his fortified castle had become so fragile.
At this time, there were only more than fifty guards in the main castle, and the rest were all sent by Count Maras to take down the walls to defend them.
A large main fort was guarded by only thirty soldiers, and such a garrison was inevitably overstretched.
Count Maras no longer had any hope of keeping the castle, he only hoped that the new governor would abide by some aristocratic traditions and not threaten his life and his family.
After all, several forces in this vicinity are relatively close to the sea, and the sea ships of the Holy Religion World Center often come here to do business, so they are still deeply influenced by the Holy Religion World Center, and polytheistic beliefs are no longer so popular here, so they also prefer the habit of the Holy Religion Center, that is, if there is a war between nobles, they will not kill hostile nobles.
Count Maras thought about it, but he still chose not to open the door, he had already moved the idea of surrendering, but he did not intend to give this credit to these servants.
In his opinion, these servant troops are a group of untouchables, and it is better to hand them over to some powerful royal infantry, which is better to say.
He was defeated by the powerful royal infantry, not some rabble of servants.
The servants did not follow orders, they did not attack the main fort without the order of Delceth, but waited in place after annihilating the enemy below the main fort.
The royal infantry was heavily armoured, but they were not slow to march and soon reached the bottom of the main fort.
Dressed in luxurious armor and riding on his horse, Dreth looked at the main fortress in front of him, and prepared to order his soldiers to attack the city.
At this moment, something unexpected happened, the door of the main fort was opened with a creak, and the soldiers inside laid down their weapons one by one and walked out tremblingly.
At the back were the family of Count Maras and Count Maras himself.
Seeing this, Delseth ordered the soldiers to stop moving, and Count Maras came to his side.
"Hello, honorable Governor, I am Count Maras, the rightful ruler of the county of Maras!"
"Count Maras, looking at you, are you planning to surrender?" Delseth asked expressionlessly.
Count Maras let out a long sigh when he heard this, and then said in silence: "Yes, my honorable Governor, I have come to surrender to you!" ”
"Your valiant and mighty army has made my troops unable to resist, so I have no choice but to surrender to you!"
"But I hope you can abide by the code of conduct among the saints and nobles, and don't endanger my life and don't embarrass my family!"
As if he had lost all his strength when he said this, Count Maras bowed and saluted, "Please, Honorable Governor! ”
Delseth smiled, and then said, "Very well, I am very satisfied with your attitude, your life and treatment will be guaranteed, and I promise that I will not know anything about your wealth, and I will allow you to obtain a manor as a domain in Marasshire!" ”
"What I want is that you tell us who the people who bewitched you to provoke us, and testify to us that they instigated you to provoke us!"
Count Maras was ecstatic when he heard this, and when he surrendered, he was ready to lose his territory and be exiled to the invincible noble.
But unexpectedly, this governor, who seemed to have a very explosive temper, actually gave himself a glimmer of life, did not take a penny of his wealth, and reserved a manor as a territory for himself.
This was far better than he had envisioned, so he thanked Delseth with a thousand thanks: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Governor, you can ask me any question, as long as I know it, I will know everything!" ”
Delseth smiled, this was the result he wanted.
He did not make inquiries here right away, but gave the soldiers complete control over the entire castle, and he planned to make inquiries about Count Maras again in the evening.
And Count Maras also reacted after thinking about it for a while, and it was purely because of luck that he could have such a good treatment.
After all, he got such a result and everyone was cut in the eyes, if Delseth attacked other nobles in the future, if they had no chance of winning, they would inevitably choose to surrender when they saw their situation.
After all, if you surrender, you can still retain your wealth and territory, which is much better than being killed or exiled.
Delseth did this purely to break the will of the others to resist, to make them think that even if they failed, surrender would not be a big deal.
Count Maras was an earl after all, and he was very big, and he could see what was in his heart from the actions of Delceth.
