The Heavenly Maniac personally led the most elite guards to launch a fierce attack.

Liao Qiu led the Fifth Army Corps from the other direction to continuously expand the gaps that had been torn apart.

Shi Lie no longer thinks about any questions about victory. His eyes were red, and he stormed the south gate with the two warbands with the strongest combat effectiveness. The beleaguered leonins were crazy, and they gathered all the heavy shields they could collect and charged in a dense hail of bullets. The merchant's armed minions suffered heavy casualties, but they did not flee and remained in charge.

Yude was covered in blood all over his body. He was slashed in the left shoulder, but fortunately, the dragon's standard armor was extremely defensive, and the cracked metal layer stuck the opponent's blade, and he screamed as he pulled out his pistol and slammed the trigger in the opponent's face, and the bullet that came out of the disembowel pierced the target's head, blowing the entire skull to pieces.

Three hours passed, and the main force of the First Army penetrated the city, and the vanguard fought against Yaohui and others who were defending the south gate.

Shi Lie stood in a clearing near the south gate with a dozen guards, his bloodstained face full of despair. He ran out of the last reserves in his hands. The dragons' muskets were so powerful that even if the bullets could not penetrate the armor of the leon soldiers, they would cause a strong impact, causing the victim to be incapacitated for a short time. In order to open the tall and heavy city gate in front of them, the temporarily assembled lion warriors launched a charge again and again, but they could not even see the hope of success, and were shot through the body on the way forward.

Turn around and run away? This kind of thing is impossible. The wolf-like Warlord is just behind, and there is no kindred affection for this kind of thing. Dare to go backwards, don't kill!

Light artillery played a great role in street fighting. The leonins also thought about making a detour or climbing on the roof to get close to their target. But no matter what you do, you can't break through the tight guard circle of the dragon infantry. They guarded the slow-moving artillery corps and kept the leonins out of the way. As long as you find a densely populated or difficult to conquer position with complex terrain, immediately replace bullets with artillery shells and clear the obstacles with fierce and ferocious artillery fire.

"Surrender or kill!" The slogan resounded throughout the city.

This is a time of barbarism and ignorance. The reason why the group of shamans is high above is that they have more knowledge than ordinary people. Their familiarity with the written word makes them transcendent, and their understanding of science, medicine, culture, art, etc., makes them superior to ordinary people in terms of logical thinking and special opinions. The aristocracy became rulers because of their strong sense of control over the race and power. Civilians, on the other hand, toil all year round, and their goal is only to feed themselves so that they do not freeze to death in winter.

Leon soldiers are treated slightly better than civilians. However, they are also from civilian backgrounds, and their poor family circumstances are not significantly improved by joining the army. To put it simply, the Lion King will not let his army go hungry to war, and must pay the army before each battle, or replace money with goods. To do this, it is necessary to increase taxes and get more from the common people.

Compared to the Tiger and Eagle Clans, the overall situation of the Leon civilians is much better. At least they won't starve. But to say that the majority of lion civilians will have a strong sense of community because of this, it is pure nonsense. That was a matter for the nobles and the lion kings to consider, not to mention that the appearance and form of the people of other tribes were the same as ours, and there was no difference. It is normal to surrender for your life on the battlefield, as long as you don't kneel down to the white dwarf in the south, whatever you do will be forgiven by the gods.

According to the order of the Heavenly Mania, all the infantry squads were equipped with iron microphones, and in the face of the stubborn leonin, the guns began to surrender at a high-powered volume after the guns were fired. On the chaotic and noisy battlefield, shouts with the same content from multiple directions quickly converged into a torrent of sound waves, which shook the eardrums of the lion people, and their sense of battle also quickly faded. Especially when the news from the south of the city spreads, and there are things like "the dragons have taken the south gate, and we are surrounded", anyone in their right mind will know what to do at such a time.

Looking at the Heavenly Maniac who had approached under the dense guards, Shi Lie, who had reached the peak of exhaustion, smiled miserably: "I have long admired the name of Long Tianmad, the commander of the First Legion, but I was able to meet today. ”

From the day he came to Fangfang City to fully rebuild its defenses, Shi Lie regarded the First Dragon Legion stationed in Steel Tooth City as his henchmen, and naturally he would not relax his work on collecting all kinds of information as the commander of the Heavenly Maniac.

Six heavy shields lined up in front, and the nearby high ground has been occupied by dragon soldiers, minimizing the possibility of long-range bow and arrow sniping. Looking at Shi Lie, who was still fighting with a few of his subordinates, Tian Mad sneered: "It's normal to admit defeat if you can't win." Even if you don't want to, you have to obey reality. Your army is finished, and I have captured at least more than 100,000 prisoners. If you're sane enough...... Surrender! I promise to give you the treatment you deserve. ”

The unprecedented humiliation flashed in Shi Lie's mind, and the muscles on his face also twisted and then convulsed.

"Surrender?" He let out a fierce roar: "If it weren't for those dastardly businessmen working behind his back, if it weren't for your secret conspiracy, I wouldn't have lost this battle at all." You...... You have the audacity to say such a thing to me now...... It's ...... It's just shameless to the extreme. ”

Tianmad raised his hand and slowly stroked his rough chin full of stubble. These angry scolding words made him understand Shi Lie's character and thoughts, so he smiled faintly: "Okay, I admit that I thought too much. Since you want to be a hero, then I will fulfill you. ”

After speaking, Tianmad pointed his right hand forward, and gave the final order unceremoniously in a cold tone: "Kill them all, not a single one will be left." ”

After the dense volley of guns, more than a dozen corpses fell to the ground, and the smoke of gunpowder wafted from the air, and there was even the thick blood that mosquitoes love.

……

In the newly occupied Lion Clan headquarters, that is, the main hall of the former palace of the Pig Clan, the Heavenly Maniac met with all the merchants led by Yaohui and Yude.

He shook hands with everyone in order.

Tian Mad remembered every word Tian Hao said to himself in the relevant training class: "Take them seriously, these people are actually simpler than you think, their requirements are just to get the attention of you, that is, the superiors." So at times like these, every look you make, every smile counts. And you have to remember that both the look and the smile are free, but that effort will be rewarded hundreds or thousands of times over, and all-important loyalty. ”

"Dragons don't forget any of their friends who have helped us. You are all very good people and deserve respect. On behalf of His Royal Highness the Regent, I would like to welcome you to the Dragons. ”

Although the opening statement was simple, the businessmen had to pay attention to it. is also the commander of the legion, if Liao Qiu is replaced to preside over this meeting, it will not be able to achieve the effect of Tianmad presiding. After all, his identity is here———— the regent's brother, direct bloodline.

Yudeok, who was sitting in the front row, had a bandage on his shoulder, and because of his injury, he was given special preferential treatment to sit down. Despite this, Yude still struggled to stand up, his face was pale due to excessive blood loss, but he was very emotional, a little hesitant, and said tentatively: "My lord, we have no intention of offending the majesty of His Royal Highness the Regent, and we are also willing to join the Dragon Clan. We just want to be able to ...... as we used to ...... able to continue doing business"

Regarding the matter of "joining the dragon family", Yude is not sure if he has made the right choice. If it weren't for the growing hostility of the Lion King towards the entire merchant class, and more and more signs that the Lion King treated the entire merchant class as a "leek", Yude was actually reluctant to leave the Lion Clan and go to another strange race.

Although the lion king is brutal, the overall business environment of the lion clan has taken shape. This is an advantage that no ethnic group can match, and it is an important foundation for the survival of merchants such as Yude.

Tianmad let out a rough laugh: "Don't worry! There should be everything, and the dragons are open to welcome all friends who are willing to join. On behalf of my brother, the Regent, I promise you: as long as you obey the laws of the dragon clan and obey the rules carefully, you will have no less, and even more than before. ”

The main hall was burned by fire, and although it has been rebuilt, the walls and pillars are still mottled. The only good thing is that it's spacious enough to accommodate all the merchants.

Including Yude, he didn't fully believe what Tianmad said just now. Different needs lead to very different attitudes and discourses at different times. It is now in the period of war between the dragons and the lions, and the dragons will do their best to absorb the opponents of the lion. But who can say what will happen in the future? If there is no war and world peace, these merchants may be no different from the lion king in the eyes of the dragon rulers, just leeks.

"You don't seem to believe what I say?" Looking at the merchants who had collectively fallen into silence, Tianmad grinned: "Okay! Whatever you think, time will tell. ”

He's just a commander, in charge of combat. If it weren't for the fact that the merchants happened to gather in Fangfang City, Heavenly Maniac wouldn't have taken the time to meet these people at all, and he wouldn't have had the interest to talk to them more.

Tianhao once said: Merchants are an important part of the economy of an ethnic group. It is permissible for a person to get rich first, but it is absolutely not allowed to have a monopoly in the process of getting rich. The northern continent must be unified, and there will be no more chaotic tribes in the future, only a complete and powerful "dragon country". As long as the merchants abide by the law, they will not lose any of their wealth. But if businessmen feel that the power of money can be superior to the state, and want to get more from other fields, then what awaits them will always be tragedy.

"Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."

As the tribes are taken under government, the situation on the northern continent gradually becomes clearer, and the dragons, whose overall strength has been strengthened, will surely become the last conquerors. Tianhao must take precautions, make use of the experience of the civilized era, compare relevant cases, and make arrangements for some things in advance. He didn't want the mighty dragons to become confused and eventually fall because of their negligence on certain issues.

……

The number of lion people killed in the battle was not very large, and the final result of counting the prisoners of war was more than 160,000.

The central square was turned into a makeshift prisoner of war camp. This is just one of several prisoner-of-war camps in the city. As soon as Shi Lie died, his head was immediately ordered to be cut off by the Heavenly Maniac and picked on the tip of the gun, which became the last straw that crushed the belief in the hearts of the lion people.

Many of the captives were wounded, especially those injured by the shell explosions, the musculature and skin near the wounds were scorched, and the flying shrapnel was buried in their bodies, and a series of surgeries were required to relieve the injuries...... In line with the principle of "prisoners are their own people", Tianmad handed over the management of prisoners of war to the administrative staff accompanying the army, who arranged specific affairs and details.

Yongzhi sat on a fairly dry floor, looking at a leon captive who was begging for hot water from a dragon wizard. The Sorcerer was a very young woman, fifteen years old, and perhaps not even fifteen. She had a stout waist, her white-skinned arms were exposed under the sleeves of her clothes, her hair was not long, and she was tied into a neat ponytail at the back of her head. Like the dragon soldiers, she wears a light uniform and is covered with light steel armor on her chest and abdomen. It was cold, and her face was slightly red from the cold, but it did not affect the busy back and forth in the prisoner of war herd, distributing hot water and food, and doing simple medical treatment and wound care for the wounded.

This woman is very beautiful. If it is a lion people, just by their appearance and figure, there are countless men vying to marry. Of course, becoming a sorcerer is also a good choice, but Yongzhi can't understand why such a woman joined the army and came to a dangerous place like Fangs City. She deserves a better life, she deserves to live well under the protection of her caring husband, and she should have a few more children.

Yongzhi's facial expression was very calm, which could also be said to be numb. He had been paying attention to the dragon woman, not out of desire or some other idea, but purely for her safety. Whether it's a dragon or a lion, there are good guys and villains. Even if the battle is lost, even if the leonins in Fangs have surrendered, the temptation of a beautiful woman to a man is always so strong. Especially these guys who have already surrendered, malicious eyes are always swirling on the woman's chest, buttocks, waist and other parts. The POW camp was huge, and the dragon soldiers usually only patrolled the perimeter, so if the lion captives swarmed up, they would stealthily capture the woman and take her to the dark...... I'm afraid the dragons will never know what happened here.

Yongzhi saw two burly captives slowly stand up and approach the female witch walker from different directions. With playful expressions on their faces and fierce eyes warning the people around them, they went around in a circle unhurriedly and approached the dragon woman from behind, who was busy changing the dressing of the wounded soldier.
