- Socrates (famous ancient Greek thinker, philosopher, and educator)

With the last of their struggles shattered by Beautricott and the Duke of Dinoy, the surrender of the Spanish army was inevitable; Mary knew the characters of the Duke of Dinoir and Beautrecott, and she did not want to let these two great men of the Spanish nation fall like this.

It is a pity that Marie still underestimated the persistence of the Duke of Denoy and the loyalty of Bautracott; When, with Oscar's consent, Mary decided to let the two men go on their own and allow them to take her own cavalry, but they proved it with their own blood.

The Duke of Dinoy and Botrecott, after retrieving their weapons, did not immediately leave with their guards, but mounted their horses and said to the silent Spanish soldiers:

"Soldiers of Spain, I know that you will choose between the Holy Lady and the King, and I also know that the cooperation between the House of Augustus and the Holy Lady will certainly annex the entire Kingdom of Spain.

If I am still a general loyal to His Majesty, then I must take you with you to fight against the armies of House Augustus; Not for the sake of our Spanish people, but to ensure that the rule of His Majesty the King is not overthrown.

However, at this point, I have become a captive, and it is too late to change; Therefore, I no longer resist, I no longer insist, I just hope that you, the sons and daughters of the Spanish people, can follow the Virgin and work for the future of our Spanish people.

In this life, I am worthy of His Majesty, to whom I am allegiant, and to the Kingdom of Spain; Unfortunately, I didn't contribute much to the people of Spain, which would be a lifelong regret and something I could not do.

Now, my fate cannot be changed, as a nobleman of the Kingdom of Spain, and even more deeply trusted by His Majesty, I cannot choose to betray His Majesty; But you are different, you are not deeply favored by His Majesty, and you do not need to be foolish to His Majesty.

Whether you are faithful to the Holy Maiden or not, and whether you have other thoughts in your heart; I still hope that from now on you will be loyal to Her Majesty, and I believe that she is the one who can change the future of our Spanish people! ”

Neither Mary nor Oscar could have imagined that the Duke of Denoy and Beautrecott would say such a thing at such a moment; These two men who swore loyalty to the Kingdom of Spain and Charles VII were perhaps the most heroic figures of the Kingdom of Spain.

It is not that they do not have the Spanish people in their hearts, nor that they are unwilling to surrender to the Holy Maiden in their hearts; It's just that they carry too much on their bodies, and too much on their shoulders, they simply have no choice.

After ending these words ungenerously, the Duke of Dinoy and Botrecott smiled at each other, drew their short swords at their waists, and ended their lives in full view of everyone, without the slightest nostalgia or hesitation.

Oscar glanced at the two men who had fallen from their horses with great regret, as if he had seen the last pillars of the Kingdom of Spain also collapse; Mary, on the other hand, shook her head helplessly and ordered the guards around her to bury the two generals.

Although the Duke of Denoy and Beautrecott wrote their loyalty and helplessness with their lives, they did their best for the future of the Spanish nation in the last moments, and also laid the foundation for the peaceful conquest of the House of Augustus.

It was with this kindness of the Duke of Dinoy and Botricott that all the Spanish troops present were absorbed by Mary; 10,000 elites under Duke Denoir, thousands of elites under Botracott, and the legions of Tecomin and Gazka.

It was not easy to reorganize the large Spanish army, and in order to ensure that the Spanish army would not defect again, and to ensure the control of the Augustus family over these Spanish troops, Oscar carried out a three-day reorganization.

During these three days of reorganization, all the Spanish troops were scattered and mixed together, and even Mary's Virgin Guard was integrated into these unorganized Spanish soldiers; After that, Oscar officially began the reorganization work.

All the Spanish troops present, together with Mary's 5,000 Virgin Guards, had a huge force of more than 30,000 men; The nearly 40,000 troops were reorganized by Oscar into three regular legions of the House of Augustus, each with a standard of 10,000 soldiers.

With the main force of the Duke of Dinoir and the First Legion, it became the Ninth Legion of the Augustus family, with the commander of the Legion of the former First Legion of the Kingdom of Spain as the commander of the Legion of the former Spanish Kingdom of Spain, and the deputy general of the Legion being Demes, who was loyal to Mary.

The main force of the Botricott Legion and the Second Legion were mixed to form the Tenth Legion of the House of Augustus, the commander of the Legion was the former Commander of the Second Legion of the Kingdom of Spain, and the adjutant general of the Legion was Depreangi, who was loyal to Mary.

The main force of the Holy Guards and some members of other legions were mixed into the eleventh legion of the Augustan family, and the commander of the legion was the main general Oghuz under the command of the former Botricott, and the deputy general of the legion was also the general Edota under the command of Botricott.

In addition to these three full regiments, a considerable number of the wounded were cut out of the army; The remaining 2,000 or so soldiers were once again incorporated into the Holy Maiden's Guard, which was directly subordinate to Mary.

The way of reorganization this time was also carried out by Oscar and Mary after careful consideration; The commanders of the 9th and 10th legions were both former commanders of the Kingdom of Spain, and it was only to appease the people, but the real power was held by Demes and De Prangi, who were loyal to Mary.

And the Eleventh Legion, from the bright side, the commander of the corps and the adjutant general of the corps are both the old department of Botrikot, and they are also the main generals of the original Botricott Legion; However, the main force of its legion is the Holy Maiden's Guard, which is loyal to Mary, and the two legion commanders cannot make any waves.

On the whole, the conquest of the Kingdom of Spain by the House of Augustus was based entirely on Mary's personal prestige; The four Spanish legions, which were nominally already the army of the House of Augustus, were also loyal to Mary's personal army.

Oscar also knew that whether it was the Eighth Army that had been formed before, or the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Legions that were now newly reorganized; These four legions, formed entirely by the Spaniards, were not at all loyal to the Augustan family, but to Mary's personal army.

There is no way to do this, who let the Augustus family want to take the Kingdom of Spain without blood? In Oscar's view, as long as the Augustus family can successfully implement the strategy of the Iberian Peninsula; There is still a long way to go!

Once the situation stabilized and the Augustus family began to gradually control the entire Spanish region, the Augustus family could continue to reorganize the four purely Spanish legions, and gradually increase the number of officers loyal to the Augustan family in these four legions.

In the long run, it will only take a few years at most; Oscar firmly believes that these four legions, loyal to Mary personally, will sooner or later become loyal to the Augustus family and Oscar himself.

After completing the reorganization of the three legions of the force, Oscar began to lead the army into the Kingdom of Spain; In order to speed up his conquest of the Kingdom of Spain, Oscar once again divided his army into two routes.

The 1st Army and the newly formed 9th Army, led by Luquis, marched west from the border region to the province of Lusitania in the Kingdom of Spain. With a garrison of about 6,000 in Lusitania Province, it was impossible to stop Luquis's army.

Oscar himself, on the other hand, continued to take Mary with him, and led the Fourth Legion and the newly formed Tenth and Eleventh Legions all the way to the northwest and attack the capital province of the Kingdom of Spain, Galicia!

As for the Third Legion, which was commanded by Marcus, it was ordered by Oscar to withdraw to Córdoba to rest, accompanied by Longkina's Fifth Legion; Ba'ans, who had been imprisoned in the Spanish military camp, was also rescued and promoted to lieutenant general of the Third Legion!

As long as the army of the House of Augustus could completely occupy the province of Galicia, march the army into Asturiga, the capital of the Kingdom of Spain, and capture Charles VII; Then, the conquest of the entire kingdom of Spain by the House of Augustus was complete.

Oscar believed that with the presence of Mary, the Holy Maiden, the Augustan family would not have any problems ruling in the Iberian Peninsula; The Spanish nation will also become loyal to the House of Augustus!

After making a definite plan, Luquis and Oscar each led their armies on the march; Oscar, who trusted Luquis very much, was not worried about whether Luquis would be able to take the province of Lusitania in the Kingdom of Spain, and he had already shifted all his attention to the province of Galicia in the Kingdom of Spain.

The army led by Oscar went all the way north, and as soon as they entered the territory of the Galician province, they received a report from Luquis that they had taken Lusitania; After that, Oscar ordered the army to speed up and complete the final blow to the Kingdom of Spain as soon as possible!

In fact, when Oscar's army appeared outside Asturiga, the nobles of the Kingdom of Spain were still immersed in their extravagant feasts; The Duke of Dinoir and the helpers sent to the capital by Botricott have not yet been received by Charles VII, who still fantasizes that his army has taken the province of Betica, and the future of the unification of the Kingdom of Spain is about to be unified!

Unfortunately, he did not welcome the triumphant armies of the Duke of Denoy and Beautrecott, but the hundred-battle lions of the House of Augustus; The defenders of the province of Asturiga, after the Holy Maiden herself went out, also wisely chose to surrender, and the army of the House of Augustus took the capital of the Kingdom of Spain without blood, and captured Charles VII in the royal palace!
