Section 560 Audience of those who surrender

When Tianhao sent someone to inform Rahman that "troops can be sent", the king of the kingdom of the Lord was skeptical, and it was not until there was a "large fire in the Rhine Forest area" from the border that he was convinced that the young giant king was not lying, and hurriedly issued the order to send troops.

Duke Abbas's previous treaty with Tianhao included a series of cooperation projects. The most important part of this is that "the kingdom of the Lord has formed an alliance with the Dragon Empire to jointly attack the Saxons, the Rhine, the Plantagenet and the Vikings, and divide the world equally." ”

For this contract, the Duke of Abbas was full of confidence. Because he had been to Rock City, he had seen the majestic and mighty army of giants, and he had seen all kinds of advanced weapons that he had never believed.

They are not at all the legendary barbarians. Their city is well organized, with sewers and garbage disposal systems far more advanced and rational than those of Fort Maivi, the capital of the Lord's Kingdom. These two have always been the biggest headaches for the management of Fort McVig, and Duke Abbas never dreamed that they would be perfectly solved here at the Northern Giants, so that everything in Rock City would look so good. Clean and tidy streets, neat and beautiful street trees, well-designed and quite artistic buildings, and even more amazing are the city's neighborhood managers, who are the most responsible officials in the world.

The Duke was convinced that Tianhao was full of hatred for the Saxons, and this hatred was even greater than that of the Holy See. After all, the Dragon Empire borders the Saxon kingdom, and when he was in Rock City, Duke Abbas heard and saw the hostile propaganda of the neighborhood officials against the Saxons through various channels. One of the most important is that "they have turned our fellow citizens into slaves."

In fact, this kind of thing is done in all white countries, and the kingdom of God is no exception. It's just that the Saxons are more excessive, and they have the largest number of giant slaves in all countries.

This is the data that the Duke of Abbas learned from Tianhao.

The young giant king has no reason to lie to me, not to mention that he has already done the frontβ€”β€”β€”β€” sent a large army south to attack and occupy the county of Morientant, and the navy of the Dragon Empire attacked the port of Levine, from where at least 50,000 men landed, and the army was directed towards the Saxon capital London.

Everything is time-barred, and if you enter the war too late, you lose the competition and possession of the spoils.

At the urging of the military generals led by Duke Abbas, coupled with the fire of the Rhine Kingdom, King Rahman finally issued an order to send 300,000 elite troops to attack the long-awaited city of Loeb.

This was only the first army to enter the war. Because there was no large-scale fighting between the two countries for a long time, and because the forest fire caused by the balloon team caused panic among the Rhine army and the population, the attack of the Kingdom of God did not meet much resistance, and the chaotic city of Loeb was easily captured.

Viscount Mahmoud cut off a dozen heads in one go. He was pleased with his results, not because of his penchant for killing, but as a direct response to the Castle Guard and his nobles. Commoners are inferior to nobles in terms of appeal and influence, and as long as the leaders are killed, it will be difficult for the remaining commoners to form a large-scale resistance group.

The viscount took the wet towel from the adjutant's hand, carefully wiped his bloodstained hands, and lightly ordered: "Pick out the most beautiful woman in the city, the quota is tentative...... Three thousand people. Remember, this is a gift to His Majesty the King, and no one is allowed to touch it. ”

The adjutant nodded in agreement. This is the rule, and those who act recklessly will die.

"Collect the loot and load the most valuable things back into trucks." Mahmoud said very seriously: "Also, pick out a million of the strongest men, including children, and turn them all into slaves." ”

The adjutant understood: "Then the rest of the people ......"

"The women give it to the soldiers, let them deal with it themselves, whatever they want." Mahmoud put down his towel, walked over to a maid not far away, stared at the beautiful and trembling face for a few seconds, and suddenly burst out laughing: "This is our city, and everything in this city belongs to us." Pass on my order to remove the military discipline for three days, which is my reward for the soldiers. ”

……

London, the former capital of the Saxon Kingdom.

Tianhao led the main force of the legion to the city.

He didn't waste time, and in the makeshift room, he first summoned a group of front-line commanders, including Stormtooth.

"The next targets are Ivon and Dorset. We have already captured the small half of the Saxons, but the remaining Saxon troops are no longer able to pose a threat to us. From Morente to Levine, some of the areas caught in the middle have surrendered, while others are still resisting. However, there is no suspense about their end, and without reinforcements, it is only a matter of time before they all are resolved. ”

"Burst teeth!" Tianhao sat on the throne and looked at the commander of the Marine Corps standing at the bottom of the steps: "What is the situation in the city now?" ”

Tyrant Tooth hurriedly stepped forward: "The Zhiwei Army has been formed, and the cleaning effect on the remaining civilians in the city is very good, and all the whites hiding in the sewers have been cleared." ”

Tianhao nodded with satisfaction: "According to the plan, all the precious metals and strategic materials will be transported away, and the obedient whites will be singled out and let them fight with us." ”

Tyrant smiled knowingly: "They are very willing to cooperate, after all, the king is dead." ”

Tianhao is more concerned about another question: "Did your subordinates violate the first military rule?" ”

"Nope!" Stormtooth replied quickly: "Absolutely not." ”

The first Catch-law is simple: intimate relationships with white women beyond friendship are strictly prohibited, and offenders are punished with capital punishment.

"That's good. In this case, the Marine Corps will be repaired on the spot, and your task will be to escort the prisoners to the port of Le Bun, where some of them will be boarded and transported to overseas territories. Tianhao stood up, looked around and ordered, "You go down first, and let the white people waiting outside come in." ”

A few minutes later, a group of people led by Count Laurent, under the supervision of the Dragon Empire guards, slowly walked into the hall and knelt at Tianhao's feet according to etiquette.

Tianhao didn't stand up and take the initiative to greet the officers like he had done with Storm Tooth and other officers before. He sat upright on the throne and watched all this silently with the cold and arrogant eyes of the main god Zeus, who looked down on mortals. Watch the diminutive white men tremble at their feet, watch them smile flatteringly, either voluntarily or reluctantly, and then judge with keen insight whether they are doing so sincerely.

"Welcome to the Dragon Empire, a country full of tolerance and ideals, we are willing to accept anyone who wants to integrate into the Empire, who is willing to give everything to the Empire, and who work for a common goal."

The opening statement is very demagogic. There was no belittling of these surrenderers, no ridicule, no ridicule, no misleading words. The most important thing is that the English that comes out of Tianhao's mouth is very standard, and both the sentence structure and the syllables are in line with the habits of the Saxons.

As in the era of civilization, whether it is Saxon, Viking, Plantagenet, Rhine, Lord's Country, or the Holy See, although they speak the same language, their accents and language habits are very different due to various factors such as geography and humanistic concepts. All nations considered their use of "this English" to be orthodox, and kings and nobles fought against each other. This is actually a cultural war in addition to military warfare, and no one will easily admit defeat.

Tianhao has experience from the civilized era, and he knows very well that when he meets for the first time, especially as an emperor at the moment, he uses the language that the Saxons agree with, which is easy to get the other party's approval and can also eliminate a lot of unnecessary psychological barriers.

The white men kneeling on the ground raised their heads one after another, looking at the young giant king on the throne with surprised and unexpected eyes.

Laurent, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom, was equally surprised. After all, he was the leader of these people, so he placed his right hand diagonally on his left shoulder, kept kneeling and saluted again, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity, and it is my honor to serve you and the Empire. ”

"Get up!" Tianhao showed a pleasant smile on his face: "There are no enemies here, only friends." ”

A very simple sentence immediately enlivened the atmosphere of the scene. Most of the previous anxiety was dispelled, and although there was a little worry, it was only a remnant of the joy in the depths. Together, they put Laurent in the center, and in doing so immediately revealed the importance of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and of all the defectors.

"The Dragon Empire is the most powerful country in the world. I have the bravest fighters, I have the most advanced weapons, I have a huge fleet, and I have an air force that no other country has ever had. ”

Speaking of this, Tianhao raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling, and laughed loudly with indescribable satisfaction: "My soldiers can fly." If you've ever served in the military, you know what that means. ”

Word has spread that the balloon troops are attacking the kingdoms of the Rhine and Plantagenet. Although the city of London is still in a war zone, and martial law and the ban have not yet been lifted, it can be used as a battle report for their allies, and Tyrant is of course willing to spread as much of this kind of news as possible. At his behest, Laurent had the men below produce a number of leaflets, the most important of which were about the Empire's wars, especially the recent bushfires, which had been spreading throughout the city of London.

Although the nobles led by Laurent have surrendered, they still have innate arrogance in their bones. They had always believed that the northern giants were barbarians, but the information on the leaflet could not help but believe them.

Flying giants?

Huge, balls sewn from animal skins?

Throw it down and blow it up and start a fire?

There have been many scientists among the white people, and even with the explicit or implicit suppression of the Holy See, people have never stopped exploring and researching science. Especially those who fantasize about being able to soar freely in the sky like birds, they put homemade wings on both arms, experiment in the dark, jump from a high place, and then glide...... Unfortunately, these experiments are extremely dangerous, none of them succeed, and every failure means death.

One can imagine how much of the white aristocracy was shocked to hear that the giants of the north could take to the skies and use such great inventions in warfare, and they began to face up to the giants who had taken over their capitals.

As long as it is an intelligent creature, it will always be afraid of something stronger than itself.

Laurent stepped forward and said respectfully and seriously: "You are a great monarch, and your army is invincible. ”

These words are half flattery, half sincere.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer saw the fall of the City of London with his own eyes.

He once considered the Marquis of Brackbarn to be the bravest soldier in the world and a model for all the brave. Even if the Saxons paid a heavy price of millions of men for the defeat of the Northern Campaign, such losses were still bearable from the point of view of the country itself. Because of this, although the Count of Laurent ostensibly disapproved of the Marquis Brackbarne's military management plan, in fact acquiesced and supported it from all sides. But he never imagined that the infiltration of the kingdom by the northern giants had begun many years earlier.

The fact that the son of Duke Weimmert swallowed up military supplies only caused the Count of Laurent to be angry, and then decided to fall to the fuse of the northern giants.

Brackban was a straightforward soldier who knew little about the black undercurrents that lurked beneath the apparent prosperity of the Saxon kingdom, or rather, he had seen it, but failed to stop it in time because he could not perceive the dangers associated with it.

Before deciding to kill the Duke's son, Count Laurent was a true patriot.

In order to prepare for the military funds, he approached many people, including the owner of the Elpsel trading house, Countess Elizabeth.

In this world, there is no shortage of smart people.

Forget the worries are selling very well, whether it is an aristocratic circle or a slum, it is the best-selling item. Count Laurent noticed this particular exotic substance early on, but like most people, Laurent thought it was a drug with a stimulating effect and was similar in essence to coffee.

Later, Laurent saw a lot of addicts. He began to have doubts about the Forget Worry Powder, and for various reasons, the Count did not try it himself, and he sent some of his subordinates to investigate secretly.

Evidence is needed to uncover a conspiracy, and it is a process that must be done in secret and takes time. These subordinates were conscientious, and it took them a long time to get everything Count Laurent wanted. Unfortunately, it was too late by thenβ€”β€”β€”β€” the giants of the north marched south on a large scale, and they occupied Morente and Port Levine, and the army was directed at the Saxon capital of London.

On the day that the news of the occupation of the port of Levan reached London, the Count of Laurent also received a report from his subordinates at the same time. It was a detailed document of more than 30,000 words, and it listed as many as 80 cases of smoking Forget Worry Powder, all of which showed that it was a terrible substance with devastating hallucinogenic effects on the brain.

For this report, the subordinates sent by Count Laurent were subjected to mass assassination, and only two people survived, one of whom lost both legs in the shootout.
