CHAPTER 85 FIVE Two Executions
After all the troops led by Vulture laid down their arms and surrendered, Li Tianhao met with the last general of Yaji.
"It's been a long time, General Vulture. Have a seat. Li Tianhao opened his mouth first.
Vulture sat down obediently, smiled bitterly, and said, "Thanks to Your Royal Highness, you still remember that hand-to-hand order, and I still have lingering fears in my heart to this day. ”
The general laughed. The city of Memphis was able to be preserved intact thanks to the general. Li Tianhao said and stood up, picked up the wine jug and wine glass in front of his table, poured a full glass and handed it to Vulture: "Please allow me to toast you a glass." ”
Vultures was unmoved, and just said lightly: "Your Royal Highness, is this sarcastic that you can't fight until the last moment?" ”
Li Tianhao laughed: "The general misunderstood. You have fought to the end for this country, and to be honest, if you continue to fight, it will only increase the casualties of both sides, and it will not change the outcome in any way. Your actions have saved many lives. ”
Vulture let out a long sigh and said, "I have failed to live the trust of the previous king, and I have not even been able to save His Majesty's life. To tell you the truth, after His Majesty's death, I have no goal of allegiance, and I don't know what to fight for. ”
"So why don't you try fighting for me? Truth be told, people like you are exactly what Palci needs, and if you need a new purpose in life, you might as well change your allegiance. ”
Vultures raised his head and looked at Li Tianhao's eyes, and after a long time, he slowly took the wine glass that Li Tianhao had been hanging there and drank it down, and then said, "Thank you very much for your hospitality." To be honest, as a military general, it is both the greatest misfortune and the greatest luck to meet an opponent like His Royal Highness. However, thinking of so many wingmen who have passed away, I really can't brazenly join your command after losing to you repeatedly. I can't carry this burden and continue to survive. Moreover, Count Libera had already been martyred for Yaki's demise, and did not want to lose to him. ”
Li Tianhao, who was rejected by the other party, did not feel any unhappiness, although the rumored Vultures was not an absolute believer in the way of loyalty, but the facts seemed to be different from the rumors, probably because he had been influenced by Libera in the past two years. Or maybe he's just like Libera, acting cynical and sticking to his creed. Li Tianhao smiled: "It seems that it is difficult for me to be a strong man, I'm really sorry." Then your punishment will be arranged after Andra Xiu and others have been served, so that at least His Excellency the General can see the fate of these traitors with his own eyes. ”
“?????? You're bothered. Vultures nodded deeply.
At noon that day, Andra Xiu and other civil servants were executed in the square in the middle of Memphis, although all of them loudly accused Li Tianhao of treachery and betrayed themselves, but after Li Tianhao read aloud the crime of betraying and killing King Cad Monroe, the people in the square completely sided with Li Tianhao. Amid the crowd's shouts for the death of the traitor, the voices of Andrasius and others begging for mercy were completely drowned out. With Li Tianhao's wave of his hand, dozens of sword lights flickered, and a bloody light exploded in the square, and dozens of human heads rolled down to the ground.
Immediately after the execution, General Vulture stepped into the square. Unlike Andrasius, General Vultures was not tied up.
The huge square suddenly fell silent. With the gaze of the people, Vulture walked among the corpses of Andrasius and the others, and said loudly, "Everyone! I am sorry to announce this to you. As you know. Due to the murder of Andrasius and others, the last member of the royal family of the country of Yaki. His Majesty King Kade Monroe has passed away! The kingdom of Yaki is now gone! I would like to thank you for your long-term support on behalf of the kings of the past generations! Zai will also go with His Majesty the King today, but I sincerely hope that the blood shed in Xia is the last drop of blood shed by all Yaqui people for this country! From now on, you will be the people of Palci, and Her Majesty will treat you as if you were your own children! ”
Vulture's words caused many people at the scene to bow their heads and sob. Wei Song, who was watching this scene, lightly stabbed Li Tianhao in the back and said, "Now you can be put on a role by him, if you don't treat Yaji's people well." That's a broken promise. When the time comes, it will set off a huge wave. ”
Li Tianhao nodded knowingly and said, "What a calculating man." It's a pity that it can't be used by me. ”
"It is impossible for all the people in the world to be under your command, there are always those who will stick to their own creeds and principles."
"I understand, sir. Like Ulysses, Libera, and Vultures. They are all capable generals. He is also a person who abides by the creed, a person who is still worthy of admiration even though he cannot be used by me. Li Tianhao looked at the eagle who was calm and righteous, and the raised hand hesitated again and again, and finally fell.
"Congratulations, boss, it's finally over." Alam walked over with a smile on his face.
"No, it's not all over yet, immediately send an order to the whole army, rest in place for a day, and then the whole army will march north, and take Arisenda as soon as possible!" Li Tianhao said.
"Yes!" Alam gladly accepted the order.
After Li Tianhao finished speaking, he turned to Wei Song and said, "I'm tired of Mr. Wei guarding this city." ”
Wei Song sighed lightly: "You are really a person who does not stop." It's enough for a place like Arizanda to send people to attack, so why do it yourself? ”
Li Tianhao smiled: "Mr. is right. But in the final moments of victory, people tend to slack off, and if I go there myself, I can at least put an end to it. Besides, Arizenda is a foreign port, and if the news of Memphis is conquered reaches there, I am afraid that a large number of people will flee to Frank across the sea, and there is no fleet there that can blockade the port. ”
"Even if you are reasonable, leave it to me here, you can go and have a good time." That being said, Wei Song had a dissatisfied expression.
In fact, as Li Tianhao predicted, when the port of Arizenda received the news of the fall of Memphis and the death of King Cad Monroe, the whole city was boiling, and there was an endless stream of people fleeing for their lives. But at that time, Li Tianhao's army had already arrived at the battlefield, and had blocked their escape road to the greatest extent, after barely supporting half a month, the last port city of the Yaki country finally fell, the ship that the governor Mirku was carrying was sunk by Li Tianhao's troops, Mirku drowned, and all the other main officials were arrested, only the Earl of Jacob, who had been a secret envoy to persuade Mirku, quietly fled overseas before Arisianda was attacked and was not captured.
At this point, the entire territory of Yaki fell into the hands of Palci, and the name Yaki was effectively destroyed. (To be continued.) )
