Chapter 867: The Beginning of the Collapse
With the destruction of the United Kingdom of Hundred Nations.
It also directly indicates that the dream of Western countries to escape back to the West has been shattered.
When the major powers braved the bombardment of war airships and finally returned to the vicinity of the city of Caracia, the flag of the Jialan Empire fluttering on the city tower made them stop again.
Forced siege?
It's good to think about this kind of thing.
Now, even if they wanted to give the order to attack the city, I was afraid that the soldiers would not obey their orders.
Rather, it was barely enough to allow soldiers to risk their lives to cross the air force's magical bombing zone, and now they wanted to call on the soldiers to open a way for them to leave the East, fearing that the whole army would collapse at the slightest order.
Need to know.
Crossing the bombing zone of the war airship can be used to force the army to rally.
But if you want to attack the city, you can't let the king take the lead in attacking the city.
Unlike the indiscriminate strikes of the air force, which are bombarded by magic, the defenders of the city will attack at fixed points. The Jialan army probably wished that the king would charge ahead, so that they could shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first to capture the king.
Other than that.
They didn't think the city's defenses would be unusual.
This is one of the necessary ways for them to retreat to the west, and with the defeat of their remnants now, even if the factor of the collapse of the army is excluded, it may be difficult to win against the Blues head-on.
So the war seems to have once again reached a dead end.
Sure enough, luck is not on their side, the one percent hope of going home is like a mirage, when it is within reach, it is only to find that it is just an illusory thing, and in the end, the only option is to surrender.
The word surrender once again appeared in everyone's minds.
There is a saying that if you don't see the coffin, you won't cry, and this time they saw the coffin completely.
There is not much time left for them, and if they don't make a decision after five days, the first problem they will face will not be the Jialan Army, but the 'food shortage'. Their supplies were only enough for five days.
Perhaps this is what you know.
The Jialan Army only strengthened the defense of the defensive line, and did not take the initiative to take action against the Western countries at all.
After all, who would bother to fight each other without blood.
Vega's greatest pleasure every day is to walk around the towers of La Casia, to look through the distance with binoculars at the smoke rising from the camps of the western countries, and to feel the despair of the enemy.
As of now.
The allied forces of the Western countries died and fled, and less than one million of the three million troops remained.
Among them, the Holy Dragon Kingdom came with great momentum this time, bringing almost all the legions of the descendants, but unfortunately, in the face of the overwhelming war airship formation, his special troops also had no way to resist, so this battle can be said to have annihilated the core combat power of the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom.
Even if you go back to the West.
They will also be reduced from a Western power to an existence that is even weaker than an ordinary medium-sized country, and that situation is tantamount to being destroyed for the invincible Holy Dragon Kingdom.
As a result, he became the first country to surrender to Vega.
As a condition of surrender, the Dragon King demanded that Vega must release the remaining wurmish soldiers, and that he and Augustus remain as masterminds to let Vega fall.
There is no reason why Vega should not agree to this condition.
One of the allies, the Holy Dragon Kingdom, surrendered first, which simply added fuel to the fire of the Western countries whose defeat was already decided.
As for releasing the remaining wurms, it doesn't matter at all.
Now the remaining wurms don't pose any threat to the Jialan Empire, and with the loss of the two backbones of the Holy Dragon King and Augustus, they are even less threatening.
So on the next day.
In front of the Western countries, the Holy Dragon King officially ordered the surrender of his weapons, and stated that from today onwards, the Holy Dragon Kingdom no longer exists, and all the territorial ownership of the West belongs to the Jialan Empire.
This move poured cold water on the Western countries that were still hesitating.
made the already desperate atmosphere even more desperate, and directly caused several small countries to be ready to move, but because the Freedom Alliance and the Gangti City-State were still struggling to support, it was not easy for them to jump out and announce their surrender to the Jialan Kingdom.
————
The night of the surrender.
This ancient dungeon of Lacacia City has also ushered in its highest moment-
At the same time, two kings, Meru Scimitar and the Holy Dragon King, were captured, as well as Augustus, the top general of the continent.
I don't know if it's Vega's bad taste.
Meru Scimitar, the Dragon King, and Augustus were all imprisoned in the same cell.
There is a way that enemies are very red when they meet.
As soon as the Holy Dragon King thought of the tragic death of his compatriots without resistance to the bombardment of the war airship, a nameless fire spread from the bottom of his heart, and he came up and punched and kicked Meru Scimitar.
Meru Scimitar wanted to rebel in the back of his heart.
After all, everyone is now a prisoner, and I can still be afraid of your Holy Dragon King.
However, there was an Augustus by the side of the Holy Dragon King, and this pair of fists was more than four hands, but he was afraid that once he resisted, he would usher in a more violent beating, so he wisely chose to admit it.
This moment he began to regret it.
If I had known, I wouldn't have let my son Dill die, otherwise it would not be certain who would win and who would lose now.
Seeing that this painful beating would not stop for a while and a half, Meru Scimitar, who was rolling on the ground with his head in his arms, had an idea, and hurriedly shouted: "Wronged, Your Majesty the Holy Dragon King, may I ask why you punched and kicked me?"
"If you hadn't betrayed us, how would we have ended up in this field. ”
When the Holy Dragon King heard this, he was furious, and called for Augustus to beat Meru Scimitar again.
"Calm your anger, please calm your anger with His Majesty the Holy Dragon King. ”
Meru Scimitar shouted, "Please think about it for a moment, if I really betrayed you and joined the camp of the Jialan Kingdom, how could I end up here, imprisoned in the same place as you?"
This sentence made the Holy Dragon King and Augustus stop.
They looked at each other, as if realizing that something was wrong: "You...... You really didn't betray us?"
"It's true. ”
Meru Scimitar, with a blue nose and swollen face, wanted to cry without tears.
The Holy Dragon King frowned: "Since you didn't betray us, how did the Jialan Kingdom know about our plan, and even directly evacuate almost all of the defense power of the border pass and place it here thousands of miles away, I don't believe that this is a coincidence." ”
"I don't know about it. ”
Meru Scimitar said aggrievedly: "If I'm not mistaken, probably the Jialan Kingdom got our joint intelligence in advance before we marched, otherwise when you start to cross the Jialan Mountain Range, you won't have time to make such a thorough ambush." ”
"Not much!"
The Holy Dragon King frowned and denied: "In order to ensure the secrecy of the plan, almost all the intelligence organizations of the Western countries began to unite to carry out a purge before the meeting, to ensure that it is impossible for the Jialan Kingdom to obtain any Western intelligence. ”
Your own family knows your own affairs.
For the secrecy of this plan, the Western countries, including the Holy Dragon Kingdom, have absolute confidence.
He was sure that there was absolutely no possibility that the intelligence would be leaked.
This also caused the Holy Dragon King and Augustus to fall into great doubts.
