Lieutenant Colonel Maisley Kemill's persuasion was actually quite successful. He himself was a disciple of the gatekeeper, and he was one of the few nobles who could put down his pragmatic and delicate body, as can be seen from the fact that he became friends with his immediate boss, Colonel Ofreza, who was born in immigrants. It's not easy for people who can associate with "inferior people" like this to fool a group of sons and eldest ladies who don't know the world? As a result, his reputation and popularity among the children of the nobility are good, even if he is not the leader of the recognized young nobles like Squint and the eldest cousin of the seaweed family, he can at least be an activity committee member or something.

In short, his eloquence and popularity were good, and his persuasion in the cabin was relatively smooth, and soon his acquaintance, a second generation who had served as a staff officer on the Fateel, gave a relatively positive response.

"Your Excellency the Commander has already retreated into the office, give us a little more time, and we will convince him."

"Yes, but as soon as possible. His Excellency Berenkarst is a merciful man, and he would like to show you patience and kindness as a great man, but there are limits to this. "When to show sincerity and when to show majesty is the self-cultivation that a good lobbyist should have, and Lieutenant Colonel Kemir is certainly no exception.

"Understood!" The other party showed a pleading look and retreated.

It's basically done. In this way, even if I have made a great contribution to register with Your Excellency, and those friends in the past can still save a lot. Lieutenant Colonel Kemir finally smiled with relief, and then nodded to Colonel Ofresha next to him.

Lieutenant Colonel Kemir's persuasion was successful, indicating that the fight could not continue. If you can't fight anymore, you won't be able to brush people's heads. There is no way to brush people's heads, and there is no way to continue to make meritorious contributions. This logic line is still very smooth. If it were someone else, Colonel Ofresha, who was unsuccessful, would have been very self-contained if he didn't throw two big mouths at the other party at this time, but these two were after all special products that made the political theory of the office completely untenable. Thinking that his good friend was about to make a great contribution, the colonel actually showed a relieved expression and patted the other party on the shoulder a few times.

Although Colonel Ofresha, who was covered in blood and still had a half-pulled intestine on his shoulder armor, his laughter was really infiltrating at this time, but once he accepted such a setting, it was indeed quite harmonious.

This scene also fell into the eyes of Sesilus. She suddenly found that unconsciously, Lu Xi really gathered a group of very positive elite groups around her. In such a rotten group as the Federation, this is a miracle.

In short, it is really a harmonious and positive scene! Sehiraeus thought.

However, the scene of harmony often does not last long. Soon, there were fierce quarrels, fights, and even screams from under the cabin. The soldiers on the side of the cabin looked at each other, and Lieutenant Colonel Kemir's face instantly became uncontrollable. Colonel Ofresha even saluted Sesilleus, meaning that he should lead people to rush down.

Fortunately, this discordant scene did not last long, and the battle in the cabin was quickly over before Sesileu was about to ask Lu Xi for instructions. Then, a group of disorganized officers, large and small, crept out of the hatch and lowered their blades as they shivered under the gaze of the stormtroopers' swords and the dwarves' guiding shotguns. The highest-ranking magician present, a lieutenant general, seemed to want to show his pride, and when he walked out of the hatch, he held his head high, not even looking at the soldiers around him. However, when he saw Lu Xi sitting on the matza with his eyes closed, and Sesilyu standing next to Lu Xi, plus the two war puppets standing behind him that were as majestic and majestic as statues of ancient gods, he immediately trembled.

"Don't hold it, Uncle Seven. Your Excellency, Commander, will not want to see you like this. Let's be pragmatic. Lieutenant Colonel Kemir said lukewarmly.

The lieutenant general, who was called "Uncle Seventh Cousin", glanced at the lieutenant colonel, his face was blue and red for a while, as if he wanted to scold something, but in the end, he only replaced it with a heavy and desolate sigh, knelt down on one knee in the direction of Lu Xi, and raised the scepter in his hand above his head. His movements were like the first link of a chain reaction, and the officers who followed him out of the cabin also hurriedly knelt down.

This is, of course, emulating the submission etiquette of the noble knights on the ground. Kneeling indicates that he has given up resistance, and the commander-in-chief who presents his commander's weapon to the enemy indicates that he fully accepts the position of the loser, and the victor should show his measure and mercy and give the loser a minimum of respect.

The knights offered swords, and the magicians were naturally staffs.

However, the lieutenant general did not present his staff, but belonged to Lieutenant General Drake Eurentian, an ancient staff called "The Sigh of the Crows", which is also one of the heirlooms of the famous Eurentian family of Offa.

"Where's Lieutenant General Drake Eurentian? There's no reason to have you, the chief of staff, as a surrender representative, right? Colonel Ofresa said in a very unceremonious tone, but his heart was as happy as eating half a chilled watermelon on a dog day.

Colonel Ofresha certainly knew the lieutenant general, and when he was first transferred to Elichar, he wanted to go to a post with more oil and water. He followed the path of Master Roerge Mencius, who was then the deputy director of the Military Department's Officials' Administration, but he didn't expect this guy to be a complete elitist, and he didn't regard non-magicians as the same species that could communicate with him on an equal footing. Poor Ofresa spent three months' salary to buy a gift and send it, but he couldn't get the other party in the right eye.

Of course, this has always been the normal operation of the children of these high-minded Arcane families, and Ofresa is not prepared to do anything to the other party because of this, but now that he can speak to him so condescendingly, it does make him full of the coolness of thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

Similarly, in this case, and the old Lieutenant General Rohrg will definitely not have the heart to bully the young and poor. He half-hung his head, snorted a few times, and there was a hint of trembling in his voice inexplicably: "...... Ou, Lieutenant General Eurentian has already begged for mercy. ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, and they wanted to ask something, but they saw that at the hatch over there, the figure of a young female officer walked out trembling slightly. She wasn't very tall, but she stood out compared to a group of colleagues who fell to their knees.

This is a very bookish temperament beauty, but it has a bit of Sesilaean taste, but at this time, her face is gray, her eyes are dull, and there are blood stains on her body, as if her three views have been subverted in an instant. Looking at her arms, she was holding a bloody thing, which was a head.

Ofresha and Kemir looked at each other with horror in their hearts.

"What's going on?" The Colonel asked sharply.

"This, this ......" Rolgenono couldn't speak, but the female officer who seemed to have lost her mind seemed to have suddenly found her soul, and shouted loudly with a cry: "He's dead!" Killed by all of you! ”

"Lieutenant Laquard! Do you want to kill us all? Lieutenant General Rulge turned his head and shouted in a voice louder than the woman's. This was the first time he had shown his might as a general and a high-ranking mage, but it was against his own people.

The young female officer sobbed, wiped her tears, struggled, hugged Eurentian's head, and knelt down silently. It's just that looking at her body that twitches twice from time to time, she looks even weaker, helpless and pitiful.

"This is ......," said Lieutenant Colonel Kemir with a pleasant face.

Without waiting for someone else to introduce her, the young female officer named "Lieutenant Larquid" looked up and said, "I am Lieutenant Isan Larquaid of the Federal Navy, and I serve as the adjutant of His Excellency Commander Eurentian. ”

She held her boss's head as carefully as if she were holding a fragile treasure. Looking at the sad and almost desperate looks, the relationship between these two people is worth thinking about.

Then, I saw the girl crying with tears and pear blossoms and rain: "Your Excellency the commander is unwilling to surrender, and wants to fight to the death!" But...... But the majority were in favor of surrender. He was eventually convinced. ”

Persuade? You've been defeated, right? The crowd thought of the fierce clash that had taken place in the cabin before.

So, that's a mutiny? Lieutenant General Eurentian, who was unwilling to surrender, had his own head cut off as a vote?

“…… No, he committed suicide. Lieutenant Issan sobbed, "Your Excellency's guard has clashed with you. Originally, he had lost his division and humiliated the country on the battlefield, and he lost completely, but in the last battle of this battle, was it actually the end of internal strife? ”

The aristocratic officers who had already surrendered and bowed down buried their heads in the ground, as if they were eager to find a crack in the deck to get into. From this point of view, they are still a little ashamed, but no one said that they want to fight to the death and take revenge until the commander is forced to die, and even at this time, the reaction is more only shame and guilt and even fear but there is no anger, which shows that their shame is nothing more than that.

Miss Adjutant continued to weep and said, "Your Excellency is not willing to endure this kind of torment any longer, and has decided to fulfill everyone with one death. He was willing to give his head, so that Master Berencaster could force the defenders of Octalia and all the surrounding fortresses to surrender without even bloodshed. ”

Indeed, Vice Admiral Eurentian had assembled almost all the forces and fleets of the Noble Coalition on the Eastern Front, including even the three new guide ships. Once defeated, the aristocratic faction will no longer have any organized resistance from the eastern frontier to the Orsotian region. Hanging his head on the top of the watchtower flagpole and taking the boat around outside the city was enough to make the defenders who were not as good as they could have been in combat and morale make a rational choice.

"On the other hand, the commander hoped that Master Berencaster would carry forward the character and benevolence of a glorious Arcane nobleman, not harm the citizens of the surrounding cities, and give the soldiers who surrendered due treatment. Please be sure not to harm their lives, provide a minimum of drinking water, and treat the wounded as much as possible. ”

The female adjutant said as she moved on her knees, squeezing through the kneeling crowd to the front. She gritted her teeth and threw herself on the ground and lifted the head of her boss and perhaps some other close relationship over her head, but she couldn't stop crying.

Lieutenant General Drake Eurentian, despite his defeat on the battlefield, behaved like a man of all things before he died. Colonel Ofresha and Lieutenant Colonel Kemir were in awe for a moment, and the latter was also a little sad. He attended the banquets held by His Excellency the Lieutenant General during his lifetime, and had several conversations with him, and remembered that he was a scholar-type general with clear thinking, quick response, and unhindered eloquence, and quite charismatic scholar-type general, gentleman-type mage, and was said to be very generous to his subordinates and retainers, and was also lenient to slaves, and his overall reputation was not bad.

Of course, there are indeed various rumors that this "famous general" is the backbone of the gate lord aristocracy is a narrow-minded villain who will repay him, and likes to use his power to persecute private enemies, but after all, it has not harmed himself, so the gossip is just gossip.

Now, such a prestigious federal "famous general", an aristocratic celebrity with a good reputation, died generously with such a resolute and even tragic attitude, which actually brought a bit of epic sense of remnant sun and blood and heroic pride to reality.

"Your Excellency......" Lieutenant Colonel Kemir looked at Lu Xi not far away with expectant eyes. He felt that since this war story had a glorious beginning and a tragic end, there should be a noble ending, which could make up for all the elements of a heroic epic. He had reason to believe that his own commander must have thought the same thing.

Who wouldn't want to be the protagonist of a heroic epic? And it can also show the magnanimity of being a superior.

However, the protagonist of this passage, who was supposed to be the protagonist of the epic, suddenly sneered and said coldly: "I didn't ask Drake Eurentian to do this. ”

Not to mention the female adjutant who was crying with her head in her hand, the officers who had already surrendered, the two friends of Ofresa and Kemir and his subordinates, and Cesilio next to him were all stunned.

"Whether it's suicide, sacrificing his head, or surrendering, isn't it his own choice? Why, then, did I have to accede to his request? Lu Xi said again.

Although this is the truth, doesn't it seem a little too impersonal?

Lu Xi ignored the surrounding gaze and said loudly: "I was not going to give all the surrendered soldiers fair treatment of prisoners of war, does this require Lieutenant General Ollentian to exchange his head for it?" How could I, led by the upright regular army of the Union State, come to fight against the traitors of the Emergency Committee, who occupy the capital and claim to be legitimate, how can it be that the people of Octalia and its surroundings will be harmed? On the contrary, you are the rebels who are entrenched in the legitimate territory of the Federation, and they are stubbornly resistant! If I find out in the next few days that any of your rebels have done anything to harm the people, I will give you a fair trial and punishment in accordance with the laws of the Federal State! Please give me enlightenment. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people who fell to their knees began to tremble.

"As for Lieutenant General Eurentian, I personally have a certain sympathy for his resoluteness, but is not he acting in such a way as his own death to put the hat of the rebels, and even of the invaders, on my head?" Speaking of this, Lu Xi's voice suddenly became gloomy: "This kind of operation is quite in line with the consistent style of the conspirators of the gate lord nobles, and everyone who is kneeling in front of me here is all in the know, right?" ”

If the nobles of the gate valve had this kind of determination, the six-pointed star flag would have been planted all over the world a hundred years ago. Of course, the aristocratic officers present who were so frightened by Lu Xi that they began to tremble on the ground naturally did not dare to refute it like this.

And the adjutant lady who was holding the bloody Eulentian head cried out again with a "wow", and even began to hit the deck with her forehead, which was really pitiful to me.

"You...... Although the truth is on your side, it is too inappropriate to say it at this time. Sesileu, who had a conscience among the friends, showed a sympathetic look, patted Lu Xi's shoulder, and immediately wanted to walk over and help the girl up. After all, it would be inhumane to have a young girl holding her lover's head—Sesileu, who had come over, had actually guessed the relationship between the two—and kneel and kowtow in front of everyone.

She also wanted to send someone to find the body of Lieutenant General Eurentian in the cabin, sew it together, and bury it alive. As for showing the enemy's head to the public and threatening the city to surrender, he will not do anything.

A truly powerful army and group does not need to be distinguished by insulting the corpses of the enemy. Lu Xi had said this to Sesilyu a long time ago, and she agreed.

However, when Miss Student Union President had just taken a step, she was held by Lu Xi.

"Lu Xi?"

"Akdina." Lu Xi said.

"Yes, teacher." I don't know when, Drow Lori is already standing behind the two.

"What does astrology look like?"

"There is no need for large-scale astrology, the teacher said yes, it must be."

"Then you understand."

The little girl nodded with a smile, then walked towards Lieutenant Issan with a light swift-like step, and then, only five meters away, stopped, drew her gun, and "Woo Woo" was three shots.

I saw that the helpless and weak adjutant lady had her hands broken and her shoulders shattered. The lieutenant general's head fell to the ground, and the impact of the bullet pushed her entire body straight upside down.

The unfolding of this scene caused everyone's minds to go blank for a while.

However, a more divine unfolding took place. This "ordinary weak woman", a "weak woman" who can break her bones with a hammer by a strong man, actually shook off her robe in mid-air when she was obviously already seriously injured. In an instant, countless cold lights roared out, enveloping Akdina like a torrential rain.
