Today's Bauhinia City, for the people of Sindelare, is tantamount to a beautiful woman who has taken off all her clothes in front of a strong man, and she has no ability to resist, so she can only be ravaged by others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the city, there are less than 10,000 people left in the military. And at this moment, in front of them, there were Elder's six thousand elites nearby, and a little farther away, the Pehin Army Group, which had just wiped out the main force of the coalition army, was also preparing to come over.

Such a military force is beyond the power of the Bauhinia City.

On October 18, three days after the collapse of the main forces of the coalition forces, the diplomatic envoys of the Duchy of Florence, who were in the midst of fierce negotiations with Cindelare's diplomatic ambassadors, received the bad news: the gates of the city of Bauhinia had been opened, and the Grand Duke of Florence, on behalf of the entire Duchy, announced his unconditional surrender.

The Florences surrendered, in a humiliating way, from the war.

But on the flip side, what could the Florentines do without surrendering? The Combined Fleet, in which hope was pinned, has been destroyed; The port of Tarens was so tightly sealed that their ships could not get out; The main forces of the coalition army are also finished, and the capital is in danger.

Even if they grit their teeth and persist in this war, the final result will be nothing more than to delay the defeat a little later, and in the end, the city of bauhinia and the port of Tarence will be in ruins.

This was something more unacceptable to the Florentine aristocracy than surrender.

On the day of the Florentine surrender, Pehin led her troops into the beautiful city of Bauhinia and disarmed the last military force of the Duchy of Florence.

All Florentine soldiers were disarmed and ordered to stay in the barracks without further orders.

At the same time, all the nobles and rulers of the Duchy of Florence were not ostensibly restricted in their freedom, but in reality, almost all of them were under the surveillance of Schindlaire's spies.

This kind of surveillance is very blatant, and the Hindlaire people have no intention of hiding it at all. It is clearly to tell those nobles: Be honest with me, your every move is under our supervision.

On the same day, Dane led his sailors and seven dragons to land in the undefended port of Tarence and arrived in the city of Bauhinia the next day.

He, as King Hindlaire, as a victor, had a meeting with the Grand Duke of Florence.

The Grand Duke of Florence himself, who is no longer young. Now seventy-two years old, dressed in a gorgeous purple costume, with the most solemn attitude, in his castle, waiting for Dane.

But around him, in his castle, not a single of his soldiers was to be seen. Guarding the main hall were all Hindlaire soldiers dressed in embroidered white wolf heads.

His Royal Highness the Grand Duke never thought that he would encounter such a thing when he was over the age of his prime.

He has been Duke of Florence for thirty years. He remembered his ambition thirty years ago when he took over the Bauhinia Scepter from his father. In the past 30 years, he can also be called a hard work, and the Duchy of Florence has not encountered any special development and breakthrough in these 30 years, but it has basically not encountered any major disasters.

With steady development and steady improvement of economic strength step by step, people's living standards are also slowly rising.

In general, the current Grand Duke of Florence can be considered a qualified monarch of the country. At least, in terms of folk criticism, he can be called excellent.

After 30 years of recuperation, the national strength has risen. When he dies, he will give the throne of monarch to his son, and then see if the country can have any better opportunities for development.

However, all this was eventually interrupted by the arrival of the Sindelare.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty Dane, you won."

Hearing such a sentence from the mouth of the head of a country, a smile appeared on Dane's face.

The old man in front of him, who had been famous for many years, was far from being looked up to by the former Dane. And now, this monarch of a country can only use costumes to maintain the last bit of dignity.

"Congratulations too, Your Highness, for your wise choice to prevent a poison." Dane said.

He had no intention of mocking the old man, but, from the point of view of a loser, it was difficult to take it as a consolation, no matter what he heard from the mouth of the enemy.

The Grand Duke of Florence smiled bitterly, sat down slowly, and then said: "I never thought that Florence would become a defeated country under my rule. I never imagined that the City of Bauhinia would fall into the hands of other countries in my lifetime. ”

Dane shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who can say for sure about the war?" ”

The duke sighed again and asked, "Your Majesty, we can all take our time to talk about other things, I just want to ask you one thing." ”

"Say it."

"I want to know...... "The Duchy's face became solemn, "the Duchy of Florence, will it still exist in the future?" ”

A big smile appeared on Dane's face, and he said: "Of course it will exist, Florence is Florentines, not Sindelare, and I have no intention of including this place in my rule for a long time." But ......"

He continued: "However, if Florence is to exist, it should exist in the way that Hindlaire wants. I need a duke to help me maintain Florence's rule, and I believe that the future of Florence should be an ally of Hindlaire's weal and woe, right? ”

The Grand Duke of Florence was silent for a moment, he certainly understood what Dane meant.

It was a difficult thing for the Hindlaires to rule Florence directly. This country has existed for a long time, and it is not that everything will be fine after the completion of the military occupation. The relationship here is very complicated, and if Dane really wants to bring Florence under his rule, he must be prepared to deal with the uprisings, rebellions, and nationalism.

The time it would take to assimilate and settle the Duchy of Florence was probably measured in decades.

Internal instability, and at the same time, the pressure of the Holy Alliance on the outside is a thankless task.

In contrast, maintaining Florence's existence and turning Florence into an 'ally', or vassal, of Hindlaire is the best option for Hindlaire.
