Chapter 259: Surrender Before Fighting (Thank You for the Memories of the Past)

"Okay, three days. ”

The sound of the blade came from under the cloak.

It seems that five days is indeed impossible, so three days is okay.

If you're lucky, maybe in three days, the monster rebellion under the leadership of the ghost knight will begin, and then the war between the human nations will have to be stopped, and if you're unlucky... At least I did my best to preserve the vitality of humanity, didn't I?

Seeing that he had reached an agreement with this black-cloaked monster, Duke Ambery had a happy smile on his face, it would be best if the two sides could not tear their faces, but before he could speak, a horse rushed over:

"Lord Duke, ahead is the town of Peel of the Temoa!"

······

Peel town gates.

There was no one on the high lookout.

There were no guards at the gates of the town, which were supposed to be ready to repel the enemy.

Only a group of unarmed men stood in the doorway, holding white flags, waving wildly at the approaching army of Western Nigad.

At the front of the crowd at the door was a beautiful maiden—Baroness Anna, the new ruler of Peel Town.

Compared with when she was sent back by Zhao Li, the current Baroness Anna looks much more mature, but her face is quite haggard, and it is obvious that the successive deaths of her father, mother, and Alan Knight have hit her hard.

What's even less known to outsiders is that Anna, who has become the new baron, is actually living a worse life - after all, in the old days, she was just a carefree noble lady, who didn't need to worry about anything, and lived an enviable and rich life.

But it wasn't until she really took over the position of "baron" that she suddenly discovered that she might not be able to sit firmly in this position.

Without the protection of her father, mother, and loyal followers, she returned to Peeltown, and soon found that the old butler, who had been docile and careful, seemed to be a little disobedient, and that the servants who had been diligent and diligent had begun to be lazy and slippery.

And all this, under external pressure - the town of Peel has almost been abandoned by the Temoa Empire, and the army of Nigadian in the west may be killed at any time, in such a situation, Anna, who took over as the baron, simply does not have the iron fist to rule the people in the castle, let alone the entire town of Peel.

Over the years, law and order in Peel has deteriorated, with several cases of theft, brawls, robberies, and even murders in this town of thousands of people.

Baroness Anna is really anxious and flawless - in fact, Zhao Li doesn't need to threaten Anna about the "Pure Brotherhood", this Baroness can't even manage her own castle after taking over, let alone the Pure Brotherhood.

Until today, the news came that the army of Nigad in the west had come to the border, and in this regard, Anna had no other idea than surrender - and even a little happy that she could finally hand over this mess.

She's just a woman, she doesn't know any martial arts, she's never even held a weapon, she can't lead the guards to protect her territory, she doesn't inherit any rich power and followers, she really can't do it... She's just a girl.

As for what will happen to her father when he stays in Peel Town, and what will happen to the people of Peel Town...

Sorry, but in fact she is just a usurper, she is not the rightful successor of Baron Paine at all, and she does not care at all about the foundation laid by Baron Paine.

As for the status of those who surrendered... I'm a nobleman myself, and I heard that the Western Nigadian Kingdom is quite good at taking care of the surrender of the nobles of the enemy country.

In this way, there is a picture of her leading a large number of people, waving a white flag at the gate of Peel Town to surrender.

···

Peel Town surrendered before the battle, which is not a surprise to the western Nigadian army, anyway, in front of the elite army, this kind of small place is nothing more than two ends: one is the mantis arm blocking the car, the entire town was wiped off the map by the army, and the other is surrender, although it is indispensable to suffer a little, but how many people can survive.

What to do with the towns that resisted, and what to do with the towns that surrendered, these things were planned for a long time, and immediately the soldiers of the western Nigadian marched into the city and began to take over the defenses, levy the strong men, loot the riches, and so on.

Now that their homes have been given away by the lords, don't be delusional that the people will be treated well - the people of Peel are destined to suffer the most, but there is nothing to be done.

Baroness Anna was received in front of the Duke of Amberly, who commanded the army, and the nobles of Nicad, even though she was only a first-order woman and a lord who surrendered before a battle, but her status as a nobleman could not be faked.

After the surrender of the civilians, they should be killed, requisitioned and requisitioned, but among the nobles, they have their own circle of play, even if they are defeated and captured, if there is no deep hatred, they will generally not do any killers - after all, who knows when they will be defeated?

In short, this is what happened between the aristocracy in the Middle Ages.

"I think the lord of Peeltown seems to be Baron Paine?" the Duke of Ambery looked condescendingly at Baroness Anna.

"That's my father, and I took his place not long ago. ”

Although she is actually not Paine's daughter at all, it does not prevent Anna from impersonating at this time, and at the same time, she has indeed been cultivated as a noble lady since she was a child, and her etiquette and temperament cannot be faked.

"What is the matter with your father?" asked the Duke of Amberly, as if he were at home.

"My father was in the swampy forest... Encountered a monster. ”

Anna hesitated slightly, and then said simply-there is no need to say that she and her mother were taken away or something, and there is no need to mention that she met a terrible person or something... It's just a casual chatter between the victorious nobles and the losers.

"Well, you are very welcome to join the Western Kingdom of Nigad, we will rest in your territory for three days, after that, this is still your territory, go back, pacify your people, don't cause trouble. ”

The Duke of Ambery soon ended his interview with Baroness Anna, and the people who should be requisitioned are indispensable, and the money and property in the town are also to be looted, but this so-called Peel Town, let this surrendered little girl continue to guard.

The Duke of Amberly would not leave troops to guard such an inconsequential place, and there would be no nobles of Nigadian who wanted to take over such a small place in a ravine.

"Yes, Lord Duke. ”

Baroness Anna, trying not to appear nervous, bowed, and withdrew.

"Wait, bring this and put it up in town. ”

At this time, the black-cloaked reincarnation blade, who was standing next to Duke Amberly, stopped Anna and handed over a roll of paper.
