They have opened the central passage of the entire Flying Eagle City, cutting the city into two parts, unable to support each other, and can only wait until they are continued to be divided, and finally defeated.

Three pieces of artillery were dragged from the far end of the street and erected about two hundred meters from the palace gate. These guns were temporarily modified, with the barrel as the center, and three heavy shields were welded together from the left, right, and upper directions to form a large area of defensive shields. In this way, even if you shoot at close range, you will not be threatened by the bow and arrow.

In fact, this is a typical practice of war defense artillery in the era of civilization. The reason why Tianhao did not add this procedure when producing artillery was mainly for the convenience of transportation. After all, the road is difficult to walk, and the sea should also save as much space as possible in the ship. If it is not for the attack on the inner city, the artillery in the field state will not be able to use this device for the time being.

More artillery appeared at the far corner of the street, no less than ten at a cursory glance.

Ying Chongshan's body suddenly trembled.

He understood that the final moment had come.

The Eagle Clan soldiers in the city either died in battle or surrendered. Although Ying Chongshan did not participate in the street fighting, he never returned to the messenger back and forth to report that he clearly knew what a tragic situation it was. All the men were sent out, and there was very little left of the forbidden army guarding the palace. As a last resort, servants and attendants were organized, weapons and armor were issued, and they were temporarily served as soldiers.

Farther away, in those areas already occupied by the invaders, the Flying Eagle civilians were driven out of their houses and concentrated in open positions. Someone waved his arm at them, but it was too far away to hear what it was.

In front of the palace gate, a dragon officer wearing double heavy armor and holding a shield to protect his head walked out of the artillery array. He held a metal microphone in his hand, and his loud voice echoed inside and outside the silent palace walls.

Hearing this, the people inside immediately laid down their weapons and opened the door in surrender. His Royal Highness the Lord Regent has an order to guarantee your safety, as well as ......"

"Whoosh!"

A feathered arrow shot diagonally from above the palace wall landed accurately on the surface of the shield, sending out a crisp metal impact.

This is an arrow shot by Eagle Mountain. It was the first time since the start of the war that he had taken up arms against the damned dragons.

The act is indicative of attitude, which means that there is no negotiation and no possibility of a peaceful settlement. The officer with the microphone had a wary face, he was hunched over, and his shield never left the protective surface of his head for a moment. Slowly retreat until the whole person is hidden behind the makeshift shield wall in the middle of the street.

Looking at the figures behind the shield wall, Ying Chongshan pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver with his backhand and put on the bowstring with skillful movements. The long white beard on his chin fluttered in the cold wind, his cloudy eyes revealed a hint of clarity, and his wrinkled hands, although thin, did not lose their strength, and even burst into dense veins like tree roots under the constant tense mental control.

"The dragons are going to do it." The aged Eagle King muttered to himself.

As soon as the words fell, the muzzle of the black hole on the opposite side suddenly erupted with a striking orange flame, followed by a deafening loud bang, and the palace gate poured with steel was heavily impacted. Because it was too heavy, the shell only smashed a shallow crater on the surface of the steel door, but the paint on the surface was torn by the explosion and the high temperature, and the explosion was mottled.

An indescribable relief enveloped Ying Chongshan's body. Even though he knew that this was only a superficial phenomenon, he still felt that this meant that the defense was strong, and the dragons would not be able to enter for a while, which meant that they could have more time to wait for reinforcements from the lion clan.

yes, what exactly does the Lion King think? With his wisdom, it should not be difficult to see that the destruction of the Eagle Clan will lead to a sudden change in the pattern of the entire Northern Continent, and a terrible situation in which the Dragon Clan is the sole ruler of the family.

The dragons outside were still shooting. They changed the direction of the shelling, and instead of aiming at the steel palace gates, they took the stone palace walls on both sides as targets.

Small-caliber artillery is limited in power, but as long as there are enough shells, no stone wall can hold out forever. Soon, as the loose wall foundation completely lost its support, the exterior wall that was tens of meters long collapsed. Before the dust and smoke cleared, the dragon infantry who had been prepared for a long time crossed the artillery array in the call sign and rushed into the palace of the Flying Eagle City like a tide.

Ying Chongshan did not leave the position where he stood. He knew he had nowhere to go. There were no forbidden troops around, and the soldiers were either killed or captured. In the distance, there were still tens of thousands of Eagle Clan soldiers fighting in the two major areas of Eagle City that were divided by the Dragons, but they were too far away from the palace and were blocked by the dense firepower of the Dragons to get close.

Less than three hundred, this is all the guards of the palace, and among them there are even a few handmaidens who are loyal to themselves.

Running footsteps could be heard in the aisles below the towers, and the piercing sound of gunfire was close at hand. Hoarse screams were constantly heard. Some people were calling for help, some were scolding, and the sound of drawing bows and shooting arrows was so familiar, but it was completely overshadowed by the shouts one after another.

"Lay down your arms, surrender or kill!"

The dragons shout very rhythmically, they often have several voices at the same time, and with the microphone with the amplification effect, it has an effect in terms of momentum and volume impact.

Ying Chongshan forcibly kept his composure, but his hands were trembling slightly.

He turned again to look to the west, where it was still peaceful, and there was no sign of an army presence.

Lion King ...... Hehe......

A bloodied squire scrambled to the top of the tower, the last of the Eagle King's guards.

"Your Majesty...... Dragons...... They're coming, you go quickly...... Let's go......" The attendant clutched his hands tightly in his stomach, where a shot was struck, which exploded a large gap, and he had to use this action to stop the outflow of the intestines.

Ying Chongshan slowly turned around and looked at the guard with cold and sad eyes.

I want to go, too, but where can I go?

Several wolf-like dragon soldiers rushed in along the stairs, and they quickly took the most advantageous position to attack inside the narrow tower. Two people raised their guns and aimed at Yingchong Mountain, and the other two guns were aimed at the injured attendant who fell to the ground, and the pause in the middle did not exceed two seconds, and the dragon soldier standing at the top of the stairs pulled the trigger and shot the seriously injured attendant on the spot.

The criterion for determining whether the other side surrendered is simple, you must lay down your arms.

The attendant held a short knife in his right hand, and he pressed his abdomen with his fist. In the eyes of the dragon soldiers, this is a refusal to surrender.

An officer with the emblem of a hundred heads on his left arm walked up to Ying Chongshan, looked him up and down, and asked in an unfriendly and uncertain tone, "...... Are you the king of the Eagle Clan? ”

The cold arrogance unique to the superior returned to the body of Eagle Chongshan. He slightly straightened his slightly messy clothes with his hands and said "hmm" coldly.

An unconcealable look of joy appeared on the dragon officer's face. Capturing the king of the Eagle Clan alive is an important feat, and the benefits it can bring are self-evident. He turned to the side and made a "please" gesture: "Let's go, His Royal Highness the Regent wants to see you." ”

……

Tianhao stood in the open space to the left of the main hall, staring at the tall building in front of him. It is indeed majestic and magnificent, but it is too extravagant compared to the common dwellings in the city. Having conquered the Pig Clan and the Deer Clan one after another, Tianhao understands that this is the common denominator of all the clan kings. Majesty and power need to be manifested through other additional materials, such as luxurious clothing, pomp and circumstance, grand ceremonies, and luxurious architecture.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Tianhao slowly turned his head and glanced sideways at the Eagle King who was escorted by the attendants.

"You're older than I thought." This angle is just enough to see people, and it is enough to show their arrogance and contempt. Tianhao did not think that this was an excessive move, but that he should have the right as a conqueror.

Ying Chongshan's tough old face was expressionless, and it did not reveal the panic and disgust in his heart at all, as well as hatred: "The gods do not give special care to someone in matters of time. Trust me, you'll be old too. ”

Tianhao raised his eyes to look at the last king of the Eagle Clan, puzzled by what he had just said and how he had behaved. Already defeated, the remnants of the Eagle Clan army are scattered and surrounded, and there is no longer much to support and supply. The Eagle Clan has really come to an end, but why is the old king still so tough?

Thinking of the casualties and costs paid for the previous attack on Flying Eagle City, Tianhao's eyes gradually turned cold: "You are right, that is the law of nature that everyone must abide by. But you will never see the day I grow old. ”

Ying Chongshan's breathing was heavy, and his hoarse voice clearly revealed fear: "...... You...... You want to kill me? ”

"It's not just an idea, it's a must! Sure! Tianhao corrected the error in his words. A defeated clan king must be executed in public, only in order to psychologically shock the living eagle people. The killing of the king meant the subjugation of the entire tribe, a legacy of training from time immemorial.

Ying Chongshan's stiff body seemed to collapse in an instant, at least from the perspective of Tianhao, a bystander. He no longer held his head high, and the majesty and cold aura that had been escorted by the attendants before had completely disappeared. This change was surprising, even Tianhao wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes, the difference between the front and back from his body was so obvious that it was like two people.

“…… Can...... Keep me alive? After a long time, the old Eagle King finally whispered in a trembling voice, and made a long-awaited request.

Tianhao suddenly felt that he had miscalculated something. Especially when it comes to conquering the Eagle Clan, no matter the process or the method, you can choose another direction. Speaking of which, this is due to the lack of intelligence gathering work of the Eagle Clan, especially the knowledge of the Eagle King himself...... Ying Chongshan is not such a tough person as it seems on the surface. He is afraid of death and is willing to pay the price for a chance to live.

"I gave you a chance. At the beginning of the siege, I sent men to persuade me to surrender. Why did you refuse to respond at that time? Tianhao was puzzled by this.

These words touched the last place in the heart of Ying Chongshan that had always been occupied by dignity. He controlled his body trembling with fear, tried to straighten his back, and the king's mind that had left his brain returned again, and a trace of arrogance could not help but appear in the depths of his eyes: "Dragon...... It should be the former cattle clan, there is a proverb, "Good iron must be beaten to know whether it can become good steel." "Why should I surrender? Just because you captured the entire northern Eagle Clan land, captured Inkbeak City, and wiped out the hundreds of thousands of troops I sent in the direction of Black Feather Pass? ”

These questions were comparable to a storm, Ying Chongshan's tone became more and more intense, but Tianhao had no intention of answering. He stood there silently, motionless, like an inanimate stone statue.

He was very patient, and waited until Ying Chongshan stopped shouting and gasped for breath to recover from exhaustion and fear, and then he smiled and asked, "Are you finished?" ”

The anger generated by the emotion under the eyes of Ying Chongshan gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a deep and heavy sadness and obedience. He lowered his head and sighed: "I lost...... I am willing to surrender. Please give me a chance. I...... Willing to obey and honor you as the new king of the Eagle Clan. ”

This is the rule that the northern barbarians abide by. It is not for Tianhao to leave the Dragon Clan to rule the Eagle Clan, but to merge the Eagle Clan and become part of the Dragon Clan.

"Even if you don't say these words, they will become reality." As if to aggravate the fear in Ying Chongshan's heart, Tianhao sneered and said, "The Eagle Clan is now under the control of this king. From north to south, millions of Eagle Clan have joined the DragonClan, gaining the status of Sinner and Outcast. I once thought about giving you the same treatment, but you refused. ”

Ying Chongshan felt puzzled: "Sinners? Refugee? Can you make that clear? I don't understand what that means. ”

"If you don't understand, you can't understand!" Tianhao didn't want to explain at all, he continued to sneer: "You gave up the chance to live and chose to resist. Admittedly, you are a very capable king, especially in terms of military insight and attainment, far more than most Eagle Clan leaders. I didn't expect to pay such a huge price for attacking Flying Eagle City...... My soldiers suffered heavy casualties and had to mobilize a large convoy to deliver supplies, especially artillery shells, to the front-line troops from the sea. I had prepared three bases, but it turned out that it was far from enough, so I had to temporarily increase the rear capacity and transport it all the way from the distant Rock City. ”

There are many special nouns and sentences that Ying Chongshan can't understand at all, but he barely understands the general meaning. This kind of thing does not bode well for him, and it means that it is difficult, if not impossible, to bargain with the young man standing opposite.

"You've made your choice, you know?" Tianhao turned around and looked squarely at the Eagle King. He is tall, and Ying Chongshan is old after all, and his muscles have atrophied over time, and the bone tissue that has lost a lot of calcium has become loose, and he often bends his back, even if he forcibly straightens his body to show majesty, it is only occasionally. Under the condescending gaze of the young regent, Ying Chongshan couldn't help but shudder, a kind of despair that was firmly choked by the claws of death.
