Lu Xi was indeed interested in the bloody sacrifice of the Drow Elves. These femme fatales always like to kill high-quality prisoners of war on a large scale that can be sent to mines, farms, and even battlefields, which sounds quite uncommercial, but through some rather discordant large-scale cult rituals, the flesh and blood sacrifices of these prisoners of war can often bring a lot of buffs to the drow individuals and even the whole army, and may even bring strategic benefits at the national level. For example, let the land be moistened, the wind and rain will be smooth, or something; For example, it can make domestic animals strong and healthy (meow) and want to be vigorous; For example, it can make all kinds of slave cannon fodder less easy to hang up and more durable; It can even make the drow elves, an immortal species that is not easy to give birth to newborns, suddenly usher in a baby boom that lasts for several years, and so on......

However, this bloody sacrifice should come from the exchange and application of some divine power authority between the King of Rock Hidden and Queen Spider Rose. And the group of (relatively) kind drow elves who are followers of the goddess of the night are not so convenient...... I mean madness. By now, the two evil gods had returned their homes as husband and wife, and the so-called bloody sacrifice ceremony had not been officially held for at least a thousand years.

At least on the surface.

But even so, Lu Xi believes that the Drow Elves should still have kept all the records of this kind of ritual, and they will secretly test it from time to time. And as a spellcaster, a dignified contemporary lord of the Isle of Rainbow Roses, heir to the Arcane King, and a legendary archmage, it is understandable that he is interested in these large-scale magical rituals.

Lu Xi felt that he just mentioned to little Dina with the spirit of inquiry necessary for a researcher, who would have thought that these people were like wild dogs that had been kicked and exploded, and they almost fell on the ground and licked the floor with a whimper.

Really, the casters of this alliance are so rootless that it feels like even if they keep it, it's just a waste of productivity.

Of course, having said that, Lu Xi, who is upright, kind and kind, really wouldn't have destroyed so many people humanely, and it was even more impossible to have a bloody sacrifice or something.

"Don't worry, even if I really want to kill you, I will let you attack Elichar as the vanguard. Until then, you can survive in the prisoner of war camps. Lu Xi said.

The pressure on the surrendering aristocratic officers was even greater. The good news is that they are sure they will survive a little longer, and the bad news is that they may one day be escorted by the Overseers to fight their friends and even relatives, and die miserably like dogs.

It doesn't sound like a decent person dies...... Anyway, we're finally going to survive now.

Lu Xi did keep his promise, did not lose an inch because of a sudden assassination and fell into a rage, and accepted the surrender of the enemy army with the condescending attitude of the victor.

In fact, when the White Flag was raised on the Fateel, the remaining Noble Combined Fleet was completely incapacitated. Of course, they couldn't fight in the first place. Prior to this, the Red Thunderbolt had cleverly advanced at the right time, sinking three more noble army cruisers in a short period of time, and capturing two large transports converted into armed merchant ships almost intact.

On the other side, good news from Nanorka's side also came. The Seven Yao Aurora, which passed through the battlefield at high speed directly from the zenith, descended on the Pvits Fortress in a divine posture descending from the sky, and before the defenders could react, the girl fell into the fortress square like a white comet, and then casually threw a dimensional marker.

Then, the dimensional gate opened in an instant, and fifty Elven Saint White Tree Guards from the Mythical Age—literally, from the Mythical Age—rushed into the fortress. With a three-person battle team, they pounced on all the key positions of the fortress, and the windwatchers were invincible wherever they went. Before the first defender who reacted wanted to open the fortress's shield and magic crystal cannon, he completely destroyed the main control room of the twelve fortress-level magic crystal cannons, and by the way, also occupied the fortress's magic energy center and city gate.

In this way, the rapid force of cavalry and guerrillas under the command of Colonel Valerius and Lieutenant Colonel Lorens passed through three portals set up on the fortress of Daroshul, an island in the Cloister of Heillon, and the Aurora of the Seven Dawn, completing an epoch-making hyperspace leaping tactic and descending on the heavily guarded fortress of Pwitz.

There were 5,000 defenders in the fortress, and of course some of them wanted to resist, and a few magicians even rushed to the square and cast dimensional anchors against the portal opened by Nanorca, but they were ...... by the white tyrant with just one gesture I mean, the fluttering pony-tailed girl in white blew up.

Nanoka said that you don't put the dimensional anchor as fast as I pinched a chain lightning fast, and this kind of outright strength crushing is the most incomprehensible.

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and the Pwitz fortress, armed to the teeth with twelve fortress guns, completely changed hands, and the 5,000 defenders laid down their arms and surrendered under the "heavy" blow of more than 200 comrades.

Then, the Fortress of Pwitz, which was designed as a gyroscopic structure, turned around under the control of Nanorka and began to shell a large group of fortresses around the perimeter one by one with fortress guns.

As long as you are honest and hang the white flag, I will not fire. Nanoka sent such a message to the surroundings with flare flags and magic fireworks.

After three of the forts were completely razed to the ground by the fortress guns, the rest were well versed in current affairs.

100,000 troops, 100 warships, fortress groups and family territories that the Gate Lords and the Violet family have been operating for a long time, this is the confidence of the Emergency Committee. Everyone originally thought that even with Lu Xi's strength, they would have to wait for the main force of the Sky Rose to arrive before it was possible to launch a strong attack, and this would definitely be a protracted battle.

However, no one could have imagined that all of the above would come to naught in just a few minutes. Even when Lu Xi rode on a white ship, driving a large number of surrender warships, including the black ship and the blue ship, to the sky above Octalia City, the black crushing fleet covered the entire city under the dark clouds they made, and the more than 200,000 citizens and defenders in the largest city in the eastern part of the Federation had not yet reacted. Many of the petty nobles and wealthy even felt that this was their triumphant return, standing on the rooftop and waving their top hats and the flag of the Violet family with loud cheers.

Therefore, when they noticed that the white ship Orushero, the black ship Fatair, and the blue ship Octalia, named after the ancestor of the Violet family, were all flying with colorful rose flags, their reactions were naturally strangely wonderful.

Then, after a not-so-long period of suffering, the mayor of Octalia and the commander of the local garrison, Gaulen Wielambat, finally defied the public opinion and surrendered the city.

In fact, there was no "force platoon", after all, the main force was wiped out, and none of the bureaucrats and generals in the city had the courage to resist. Gaulen Wilambat himself is a parallel trade magician who relied on the family's various resources and barely passed the exam three times, and he has not even entered a serious laboratory and training ground a few times when he is over half a hundred years old, and of course it is impossible to show the courage to fight to the death with a strong enemy.

Of course, the reason why he was able to become the military and political leader of the Violet family's territory was that in addition to being a family descendant, he was also quite good at management, or exploitation, and was very familiar with the rules of the game of "aristocratic warfare".

Everyone is a decent and superior person, as long as they are willing to give in and hand over some of their property and hostages, it is really impossible to send the most beautiful lady in the family to express their complete surrender, then the family status can still be guaranteed. Just be an honest dog for hundreds of years, maybe there will be a day in Hedong and Hexi for 30 years. Hasn't it always been like this after so many years of civilized society?

"The family is willing to dedicate one gem mine and one cold iron mine in Illiste, two newly cultivated manors outside the city of Kuroman, twelve shops and two apartment buildings in the city of Neosfia, and a private island in the province of Takamagahara, dedicated to the great master of Belencastel. I also ask that you grant forgiveness to the citizens of the Federation in Octalia. ”

In the luxurious hall of the city hall of Octalia, Gaulen Wielambat presented a long gift list to Lu Xi, who was sitting on the throne, in addition to the above-mentioned real estate and territory, there was also a large list of various gems, gold coins, antiques, works of art, etc. It must be admitted that this is definitely a gift list for the Emperor of Auckland.

"So, this is for me personally?" Lu Xi casually threw the gift list to Cesilae beside him, and smiled lukewarmly.

The other party was slightly stunned, but then quickly reacted, and hurriedly said: "The citizens are still willing to offer fifty ...... Oh no, a million golden miras and ten thousand tons of grain for the labor of the army. ”

Even with the net worth of the Violet family, it was a little painful, and Gao Lun felt that he even had a little sore tooth. But it doesn't matter, it can't be his family anyway, all the nobles and wealthy merchants in the city must join in. When everything is decided, we can find a way to get it back from the mud legs......

"I have ordered the granaries and vaults of the city to be sealed, including your private shops, villas, and workshops. Of course, there are all the estates and mines outside the city. Lu Xi said.

Gao Lun's flattering smile froze on his face. The reason why he cut a lot of high-quality real estate is to try to keep his family's basic property in Octalia. But according to Lu Xi, he clearly came to raid his house.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to raid your home, but I just need to take a careful inventory of all your assets, so that I can issue a reasonable compensation after the war. If you have committed a crime, you should give the victim due compensation, and this basic etiquette does not need me to repeat it, right? ”

This, isn't this considered a raid? Isn't it up to you to decide whether it's reasonable or not?

From Gao Lun, all the gate valve nobles present were slandering, but no one dared to show any dissatisfaction. After all, Lu Xi didn't say anything to death, and they would still have some fantasies.

"In addition, I have granted freedom to all slaves in the name of the federal government, and in your name I have given each of them a reasonable labor contract. A legal employment contract that guarantees basic income, basic life security and the right to rest, and is a federal citizen. ”

This finally caused an uproar, and finally someone couldn't help but shout: "There is no such law in the Federation!" ”

"It's been there since today. Because that's what I said. Lu Xi said calmly, and turned his head sideways in the direction of the sound.

"Beettler of the Mivor family can be regarded as a vassal peripheral family of the Wilanbart family." Sesiluk whispered.

"The Mivors, the Klintz, and the Erian families, all the adult members of the family were imprisoned, and the head of the family was immediately executed. All property is sealed and confiscated! Lu Xi's voice still didn't fluctuate, and he still looked like he was talking.

Betler collapsed in the crowd and was dragged out by two wolf-like men. The most courageous shout in his life, but it ruined the entire family.

Sesiluk was a little unbearable, but he only turned his head slightly and did not object.

Gaulen Wielambatt trembled, shame filled his heart, but more than that, there was uncontrollable fear and trembling. Of course, he knew that when the Violet family, which had been vassalized for many years, and the small nobles and wealthy merchants on the periphery, were wiped out at once, the Wilambarts might be able to survive, but the days of covering the sky with one hand in Octaria City would be over.

But so what? All of these families are notorious vampires, and even if the whole family hangs street lamps, most ordinary citizens will only applaud.

Golen felt he had to say something; Otherwise, the Violet family would no longer be qualified to claim to be the head of the famous family of the Federation, so they immediately stubbornly said: "Your Excellency, even if they have committed a serious crime, you, you can't arbitrarily remove a famous family with a long history in the history of the Federation. to, at least through the ...... of the Senate and the Confederacy of Learning"

"Lord Gao Lun, you better take care of yourself first. Until the rebels who claim to be in the Council of Emergencies are completely wiped out by me, all of Vylambat in Octalia will be prisoners of war, and you will remain in the camp until the day the war is over. The conditions there are not as comfortable as your manors and villas, good luck. ”

A large crowd of soldiers poured into the hall, shackled all the adults who had been tall and ready to be dragged away. Lu Xi also stood up and was about to leave.

"Your Excellency, this, this is unreasonable! Do you really want to trample on the ethics that the Federation has ever seen? Gao Lun finally held back his fear and shouted loudly.

"I, the Federation! You'd better start today and get used to that. Lu Xi turned around, still calmly speaking in an unfluctuating tone that seemed to narrate the objective truth.
