At this time, the Spanish army consisted of nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Third Army to which Exaca belonged and 4,000 soldiers of the Iberian Army under Iker; Now that all the soldiers of the Third Legion and the 2,000 soldiers of the Iberian Legion have sworn allegiance to their Holy Virgin, can the remaining 2,000 soldiers of the Iberian Legion be an exception?

When all the Spanish soldiers present knelt down on one knee and swore allegiance to the common crown of the Spaniards, Iker, the commander of the Iberian Legion, naturally became one of them.

However, Iker is not the same as Exsaka, he is not a loyal subordinate of Joan of Arc, nor is he a devout follower who regards Joan of Arc as his lifelong follower; He's just an ordinary person who knows the times.

In the current situation, Iker had in mind not what Joan of Arc meant, but why did Joan of Arc appear with the army of House Augustus? Could it be that the Holy Maiden of the Kingdom of Spain wants to help the House of Augustus against Spain?

At the thought of this almost certain answer, a cold sweat broke out on Iker's back; However, with the conversation between the Holy Maiden and Exaca, Iker also understood the truth that Exarka was bought by Charles VII, which also made Iker dare not act rashly in the slightest, let alone say anything inappropriate at such a time.

If the Holy Maiden had really sided with the House of Augustus, with her great popularity among the Spanish people, the Kingdom of Spain would not have had any chance of winning the war; I'm afraid that both the Kingdom of Spain and the Spanish royal family will be defeated!

Then the question arises, why did Joan of Arc, who once fought for the Kingdom of Spain, resolutely help the House of Augustus to deal with the Kingdom of Spain? Among them, how many hidden secrets are not known to the world?

After all, Iker was just a general from a small aristocratic family; The reason why he was able to become the commander of the Iberian provincial garrison was only because the geographical location of the Iberian province was too close to the potential enemy Hannibal family, and the noble generals of the Spanish kingdom were unwilling to risk their lives, which led to the ascension of Iker.

In fact, Iker himself did not have much loyalty to the Kingdom of Spain and the so-called royal family; However, the replacement of the rule of the Kingdom of Spain by the House of Augustus involves too many changes in the relationship of interests, and Iker must also consider his own family.

After Mary had successfully sworn allegiance to all the Spanish troops present, Oscar came to Mary's side with Nusis and the family guards; After making eye contact with Oscar, Mary continued to say to the soldiers in front of her:

"My loyal soldiers, as I am sure you know, it was the betrayal of our King that led to my capture by the House of Hannibal, so much so that I had to escape by swindling my death.

Even putting aside this personal grudge, the aristocratic forces of the Kingdom of Spain headed by Charles VII have never regarded our Spanish people as their compatriots, and they will only sacrifice our innocent Spanish people for their own interests!

Is such a king, such a ruling class, the allegiance of our Spanish people? Can't we work for the fate of our own people? Are we, the Spanish people, destined to live in misery?

No! This should not be the fate of our Spanish people, let alone the result of our bloodshed and sacrifice! We can no longer accept the fate of being slaughtered by others, nor can we accept the life of being enslaved by those shameless aristocrats, we must fight for the future of the Spanish people!

In the years since I left the Kingdom of Spain, I have traveled to many countries and seen the lives of people in many other places; When I found out that there was a real place where people lived and worked in peace, I decided to bring that life back to Spain.

Perhaps, you are wondering in your hearts why I am in front of you with the army of House Augustus; Now, I'll tell you the answer, and that's because I'm a member of House Augustus!

The reason why I joined the Augustan family from Rome was not because they had great military power, nor because they had rich fertile fields; But because I see the future of our Spanish people in this family!

Some of you may not accept the idea that loyalty to the King of the Kingdom of Spain is loyalty to our whole Spanish nation; But can your faithfulness bring a good life to your family? Could it be that we, the Spanish people, have endured less of the bloodshed of our soldiers and the tears of our families?

Now, it's finally time for a change! Sons and daughters of the Spanish people, you have chosen to be loyal to me and let me lead you to create a better future for our family together with the House of Augustus; Or choose to remain loyal to the kings and nobles of the Kingdom of Spain, and shed their blood and sacrifice for their people.

The power to choose is always in your own hands, and I will not force you; The only thing I can guarantee is that I will not deceive you, that the rule of the House of Augustus will definitely allow our Spanish people to live a good life in peace and contentment! ”

As soon as Mary's demagogic words were finished, Oscar stood up while the iron was hot and announced to the soldiers of the Spanish army, who were still in shock:

"Sons and daughters of the Spanish people, it is impossible for your great Maiden to deceive you! And I, the head of the family of House Augustus, promise to you here; As long as you stand up with us to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Kingdom of Spain, we of the House of Augustus will surely give the Spanish people a bright future!

The people under the rule of our House of Augustus do not need to worry about the prestige of the local officials, the nobles and the rich who are high above, and they do not need to pay high taxes; We will make it possible for all of you Spaniards to live as equals and happy!

If you are a commoner, then you will have countless opportunities to become a nobleman in our House Augustus; Whether you are in the army, business, or farming, as long as you work hard enough and are good enough, our Augustus family will give you the status of nobility and make you your own masters!

If you are of noble origin, then you will have countless opportunities for further promotion in our family of Augustus; Whether you choose to make a career for your family, or choose to enjoy the aristocratic life in peace and stability, you can live the life you want as long as you want, without worrying about any persecution of you by our Augustan family!

Today, I am here to promise you; As long as you are willing to surrender, you will become part of our Augustan army and be awarded the title of nobility at the lowest level. And the generals who were originally nobles, our Augustus family will also give you the corresponding Augustus family nobility rank; From now on, we will be one family to each other! ”

Oscar's promise completely dispelled the doubts in the hearts of all the Spanish soldiers present, and even General Iker, who had been hesitant, was also quietly moved; Instead of living a mediocre life in the Kingdom of Spain where you can never go to the next level, why not give it a go and fight for a better future for yourself and your family?

However, this kind of big thing is not something that just anyone can make a bird; Therefore, even if Iker was already moved, he did not make any statement, but waited for Exsaka to be the first to make a statement.

In Ikkel's view, no matter when he expressed his position, as long as his position as the captain of the Iberian Legion was there, the Augustus family would give him enough rewards for his surrender; Iker understands these political things better than anyone else.

With the successive persuasions of Mary and Oscar, the soldiers of the Spanish army had already made a choice; Even speculators like Iker have made a wise choice in their hearts, and how can those simple Spanish soldiers have objections?

Out of guilt and respect for Exaka, everyone tacitly handed over the power to make the choice first to Exhaca; In any case, Exaca was also the supreme commander of the Spanish army present, and his choice made more sense.

When everyone's eyes turned to Exaka, Exarka did not make a choice immediately, but raised his head and asked bluntly to Oscar, who was sitting on a war horse:

"Your Excellency, Oscar Leader of House Augustus, we are willing to believe your promise, and I myself have long heard of the preferential treatment of the people of House Augustus; But, before that, will we be able to know the status of Her Majesty in your family? ”

This question in Exaca is actually a question in the minds of countless Spanish soldiers; They need to know what kind of status the greatest saint crown in their hearts has in the Augustan family, and whether they have been coerced and suppressed by the Augustan family!

Faced with Exsaka's question, Oscar showed a slightly happy smile, and then replied without concealment:

"Your Lady of Spain is second only to me as the leader of our Augustus, and she is one of the most important members of our Augustus; Plus, she's my wife! ”

The Holy Lady of the Spanish people became the wife of the head of the Augustus family? Doesn't this mean that the Spanish people and the House of Augustus have become one family? Such an answer made everyone present look stunned; However, after a brief period of consternation, it was the tsunami of cheers and joy from all the Spanish soldiers, and Exaca silently retreated to the side.
