Chapter 431: Surrender and Oath

Duke Fisher's voice was unmistakably heard throughout Rushing Castle.

"Lord Duke......"

The sturgeon warriors looked up to the top of the tower from all corners of the castle and saw the figure of the Duke of Fischer and were convinced that it was undoubtedly the Duke who had asked him to give up resistance and surrender to the enemy.

The duke, who was virtuous and deeply loved by the people, but his originally straight waist now looked a little rickety, and his face was gray, like a weak old man, and he bowed his noble head to the young man who had defeated him.

Under the cold wind, the blood-colored cloak behind Wren hunted.

From the point of view of the sturgeon warriors, they saw a majestic body, with a faint smile on the handsome face, but with undoubted strong confidence.

In the sky above him, four dragons circled, exuding terrifying dragon might.

This scene is in stark contrast to the Duke of Fisher, who announced his surrender, victory and defeat, strong and weak, young and old, the picture is very impactful, and the sturgeon warriors who look up to Rennes and the nobles in the castle will never be forgotten.

At this moment, Wren seemed to shine brighter than the sun.

There was silence inside and outside the castle for a few seconds, and the fighting between us and the enemy stopped.

Sicarius raised his hand, and the Ultramarines and the Knights of the Spear Wing ceased fire first, the gunfire subsided, and they cleverly blocked the Centaur Legion in front of them, preventing them from continuing the fight.

"Dangchang!"

A sturgeon warrior threw his sword to the ground and walked out of hiding with his hand raised.

With the surrender of the first, soon there will be a second and a third...... The sturgeon warriors and the transcendents of the Fisher family laid down their arms, saying they had given up resistance.

The Ultramarines took the centaurs and gathered them together as captives.

As soon as the battle ended, the faint aura of divine power in the sky quickly dissipated.

Wren secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and threatened Duke Fisher to slaughter the city and make Balosque the next Madros, but out of the bottom line, he was not sure that Duke Fisher would definitely compromise.

Fortunately, Valrogan's information was accurate, and Duke Fischer was indeed a generous and benevolent lord, and it was unlikely that he would watch his family and city perish.

"Young man, are you Lord of Glamorgan, Wren Augustus?"

Duke Fischer watched his sturgeon warriors and clansmen become prisoners, the water curtain circle and city gate of Rushing Fort were also destroyed, and the crab harbor in the distance was also full of smoke, I don't know how many people were killed, and his heart was immediately heartbroken, resentful and complicated at the same time, and he couldn't help but ask this sentence.

In fact, he had heard of Rennes' origin for a long time, but Congatro was far away from the empire, and the specific situation was not very detailed, and he was not interested in knowing, so he couldn't be sure.

"I've seen the Duke. Wren bowed slightly, "It's me." ”

Duke Fischer was concerned about whether his people had been tortured and killed, staring at Wren, snorting twice, and said in a deep voice: "The land of Congatro is barren and cold, the population is not large, and the wealth is not even one-tenth of the empire, so should the empire covet it?"

Wren replied lightly: "This is true for the Empire, but for individuals, Congatro is an inexhaustible mountain of gold, and no one will dislike too much land and wealth. ”

His words startled Duke Fischer.

"But," Wren laughed, explaining, "The wizards of Wezeland and I are hired by Lady Emily on our own behalf, and have nothing to do with the Empire, so Lord Duke don't have to worry about it. ”

"I hope so. The Duke of Fischer was clearly not convinced.

He looked in the direction of the city gate, and Emily stepped on the frozen ice as she walked into the castle in the crowd.

In this beautiful woman, Duke Fischer felt the breath of a dragonborn who had not been seen for a long time.

"Dragonborn of House Drogon......" he let out a sigh.

Not long ago, he learned the news of the Dragonborn from Duke Danse, and Duke Fisher still found it a little unbelievable, but now that he saw the Dragonborn appear with his own eyes and capture his castle, he had to accept the reality.

Moreover, this broodborn has an irresistible helper and a fearsome army.

"Is Congartro going back to the time of Dragonborn rule?" said Duke Fischer to himself, remembering the Drogenburg dynasty back in the day, and for most of his hundreds of years, Congatro sat on the throne of the Dragonborn, and he still revered it to this day.

Wren's soul eyes have been open, judging from the color of his soul and the ups and downs of his emotions, Duke Fisher does not have much resistance to the return of the Dragonborn, which is a good sign.

"The Dragonborn will return to the Iron Throne, Lord Duke, what do you choose?" Wren said in a calm tone, but it sounded like thunder to the ears of Duke Fischer.

He hesitated, opened his mouth but did not speak.

Wren didn't urge, but this silent oppression made the Duke of Fischer even more uncomfortable.

After half a minute of silence, Duke Fischer smiled bitterly, he knew very well that when he asked the sturgeon warriors to lay down their arms and surrender, he had no choice.

"The Duchy of Fisher is willing to pledge allegiance to the House of Drogonburg and support Queen Emilys on the throne. Duke Fischer's voice revealed determination, without the slightest hesitation.

This is not only for the sake of the survival of the family and the people, but also for his own opportunity.

"Very well, Lord Duke. ”

Wren nodded in satisfaction.

The Soul Eye showed that the Duke of Fisher was not lying, and although he was still a little reluctant, his submission was genuine, and the situation did not allow him to retreat.

"Lord Duke, it is not enough for you to be a minister with a few personal words, you also need to show enough sincerity. Wren said.

"Sincerity ......," Duke Fischer chewed on.

"Yes, sincerity. It's up to Emily to talk to you. Wren opened an arbitrary door and walked in first.

The Duke of Fischer followed, and came out of any door to find the main hall of the castle.

He was all too familiar with this spacious hall, located in the center of the main fort of Rushing Castle, with a triangular interior space, which was both the most important place for the family and the sanctuary of the god of the river, called the White River Hall.

In front of the wall at the end of the White River Hall, there is a tall statue of Lord Oshenna, to whom the sturgeon warriors of the castle prayed every day. Every summer, on the day of the River Festival, the hall holds a large three-day festival in which only his most devout followers are eligible, mostly the nobility and sturgeon warriors of the principality.

At this time, White River Hall was occupied by a group of outsiders.

At the foot of the statue of Eushena is a beautiful crystal high-backed chair, which is the seat of the Duke of Fischer and symbolizes the ruler of the duchy.

A delicate lady sat on a high-backed chair, she had long silver-blonde hair, deep purple eyes, and a pair of swept dragon horns on her forehead, with a noble temperament and a majestic posture, exuding a shuddering aura on her body.

The high-backed chair is placed on a platform with seven stone steps.

At the foot of the stairs stood a group of people on the left and right, and the Duke of Fisher saw two familiar and unfamiliar faces in the crowd. He said it was familiar, because he had seen them before, but it was unfamiliar, because he hadn't seen them for many years.

The legendary swordsman Astan, the chief bodyguard of the Mad King Siria, and the intelligence chief Varogan, who turns out to be still alive......

But what frightened the Duke of Fisher the most were a High Elf and a white-haired wizard.

And Wren, who defeated himself.

The three Speakers from the Wezeland Floating City all stood on the top of the steps, showing their equal status with the Dragonborn, even higher than the Dragonborn.

There were also several figures of different shapes at the bottom of the steps, Duke Fischer had just seen their real bodies, and these were all dragons!

Never before have so many legends gathered in the White River Hall.

In addition to the enemies who occupy the castle, there are also their own people. Duke Fischer saw at a glance his eldest son Edmure and second son Brinton, as well as several legends among the sturgeon warriors, most of whom he usually relied on the most, most of them were wounded and depressed, and they had changed from a superior to a prisoner.

Around the hall, there is a group of transcendent warriors wearing blue armor.

Duke Fischer couldn't help but look at these powerful warriors, especially the soul spears in their hands, it was this terrible weapon that swept through his defenses.

Their faces were hidden under their helmets, their tall bodies were like an iron wall, they stood still and did not make the slightest sound, but no one dared to ignore their presence.

"Your Excellency. ”

"Father. ”

The Duke of Fischer attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared, but instead of looking at his own people, he quickly stepped forward to the bottom of the steps, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head.

"Reeves Fisher has seen Her Highness Emilys. ”

Duke Fischer's calm voice echoed in the White River Hall, every word was incomparably clear, revealing a firmness, as if he was welcoming back the monarch's vassals.

The captured nobles and sturgeon warriors were stunned, their faces full of consternation.

In addition to Wren, Emilys and the others were also surprised by his vassals, they thought that Duke Fischer should choose to surrender after surrendering, but they didn't think about it so quickly.

Emily reacted quickly and quickly got up and walked down the steps.

She picked up the Duke of Fischer with her own hands, and said with a smile on her face: "Although it is the first time for me to set foot on the land of Congartaro, I have long heard of the prestige of the Duke, who was once a supporter of the Zogenburg family, and was loyal to his father, but only had to compromise with the usurper, I can understand the hard work of the Duke, today's battle is just a misunderstanding, all the bloodshed and sacrifices are for the dragonborn to regain the throne, and I ask the Duke to forgive me." ”

This scene was so high-sounding that Duke Fischer gave Amily a deep look.

He knew very well that this bronequin was giving himself a step.

"It is worthy of being a woman who can have a relationship with Wizeland Floating City, but I didn't expect that the baby girl had grown to this point. ”

Duke Fischer sighed in his heart.

Coming into close contact with Emilys, he sensed that Emilys's strength was strong, and the dragon bloodline had been excavated very deeply, at least the legendary intermediate level!

No wonder she dared to come closer, not afraid of my sudden attack.

Duke Fisher's mind was in a hurry, but on the surface, he did not forget to say: "When Marke rebelled, I never supported him. Even if he sits on the Iron Throne, the Duchy of Fischer has not really submitted to him for so many years, and His Highness must know that I just had a war with Marke not long ago. ”

"Yes, I heard. ”

Emily nodded, "It's a pity that the Duke didn't manage to kill the usurper. However, this is also a good thing, what the Drogon Castle family has lost, naturally it is up to me, the rightful heir to the throne of Congartro, to take it back with my own hands. ”

She walked up the steps again and sat down on the high-backed chair, with a serious expression, and asked, "Lord Duke, since you owe allegiance to me, as my vassal, should you assume the obligation of a vassal?"

Duke Fischer said in his heart that he was here.

This must be the sincerity that Lord Glamorgan just mentioned.

He did not respond rashly, but humbly performed the etiquette of a vassal to the lord, and replied respectfully: "Please give orders to Your Highness." ”

The corners of Emily's mouth rose slightly, she sat more upright, stretched out three fingers, and said aloud, "Three things." ”

"First, according to the law among the nobles of Congartaro, the Duke is required to pay a ransom for the captives to redeem your family and your legions. The Fisher family owns the best port in Congatro and has accumulated countless fortunes over the years, and I think five million gold dragons is a good price. ”

She paused at this point, waiting for the Duke of Fischer to react.

This ransom was not demanded for themselves, but was used to pay for the fees of the wizards of Wezeland, and the five million golden dragons were not enough for the wealthy Fisher family to break their bones, but also enough to make them feel heartache, and they would not dare to easily defect after paying the price.

Sure enough, Duke Fischer didn't react much, nodding in agreement.

Emily continued: "Second, immediately gather all the noble lords of the Duchy of Fischer and rush to Rushing Fort within a day to participate in the canonization ceremony, and in the presence of Olchenna, you will publicly declare your allegiance to me. ”

The purpose of this request was very simple, that is, to make the Duke of Fisher openly stand in line and block the back road.

The faith of the Fisher family did not allow them to break their oath.

In addition, the canonization ceremony is also to announce the return of the Dragonborn to the Kingdom of Congartro, which is supported by the Fisher family, which can be said to be justified.

"Yes, I will immediately have my vassals informed that I will meet His Highness at Rushing Fort tomorrow. Duke Fischer readily agreed, his family's life was in the hands of the other party, and there was no room for negotiation.

"The third and last thing. ”

A smile appeared on Emily's face, the other party agreed to the first two conditions, a little bit of cannibalization, then there would be no too fierce reaction to further requests, solemnly said: "Please send at least half of the army under your command to follow me to fight the usurper, and you and the two counts will also go together." ”

The two counts she spoke of were Edmure and Brinton, two of the most prominent sons of the Duke of Fisher, and heirs to the family, who became quite hostages.

The faces of the two men mentioned changed slightly.

If all three conditions are agreed, then they will be completely bound to the Dragonborn and become Marke's enemy, and the Fisher family will have no way out.

In the event of a failure of the Dragonborn's recovery, they will inevitably be liquidated by Marke.

Duke Fischer was silent for a few moments.

His gaze swept over the three Speakers of Wezeland on the steps, as well as the dragons and legends in the audience, as well as the Ultramarines standing around the hall, which made him frightened and a little confident.

The Dragonborn has so many unfathomable helpers, and there is even a floating city behind it, and the success rate of recovering the country is extremely high.

Thinking about the attitude of the god of the river, it seems that even the gods acquiesced.

Duke Fischer took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee again, and said in a loud voice: "In the name of God, the Riverbend Legion will swear to follow His Highness to the death, restore Kangatro, and support the Zogenburg family to ascend to the throne. ”
