In the last hour of Robin's ultimatum, Elton, the leader of the lizards who had personally descended the mountain, finally negotiated the terms of surrender with Robin, and ordered all nearly 80,000 lizards to go down the mountain and disarm and formally accept the military control of the Tiger Battalion.

Elton, the leader of the lizardmen, decided to surrender to Robin, largely misled by the full retreat of the Knights of the Hammer. Because not long after talking to his nephew Carter, Elton received the news of the full retreat of the Hammer Knights from Futz, who he sent down the mountain, and at the same time, the space ridge formation hovering over Keith Peak became more and more dense. This partly forced Elton to assume that his guess was correct, so after the Knights of the Hammer had all withdrawn from the Viper Rift, Elton, as the leader of the lizardmen, immediately descended the mountain himself to negotiate with Robin about surrender.

In terms of specific surrender conditions, Robin's bottom line is actually very lenient. So, when Elton speculated and uneasily proposed what he thought was a very overstepping, Robin almost agreed, and only for the sake of negotiation principles did he and Elton get entangled for a long time on some small details, but in terms of results, the negotiation went very smoothly.

The result of the successful negotiation was immediately spread to the Keith Mountain, which made the lizards who had been anxiously waiting on the mountain suddenly boiled, they rushed down the mountain with a large amount of supplies in cheers as if they had escaped with their lives, and those who did not resist were collectively disarmed by the Tiger Battalion, which numbered only nearly 100 people, and willingly began to accept the military control of the Tiger Battalion.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is simply unthinkable that 80,000 people were disarmed by nearly 100 people, but these supposedly extremely cruel rebels are still very docile and willing to accept military control, which is simply an impossible military miracle.

But in fact, if other factors are taken into account, it is inevitable that the lizardmen will accept the status of a pawn so cooperatively.

Looking at the mutant rebellion that took place on the planet Gotha this time, the size of the rebel army of more than 200,000 people is not unprecedentedly large, but it is already an extremely considerable number. However, if we analyze it purely from a military point of view, the rebel army of more than 200,000 people has a flaw that is fatal, and this flaw makes this rebel army like a lone army deep behind enemy lines, and any tactical mistake will lead to the consequences of which the rebels will fall into a situation from which they will never recover.

Due to the lack of sufficiently powerful space forces, the rebels' logistical supply lines, as well as their retreat routes, can be said to be unprotected. In the early stages of the rebellion, the rebels were able to gather more than 200,000 men on the planet of Gotha by transporting people in small transport ships in turn. And the later transportation of materials is still only relying on this small transport ship to support.

If the rebels on the planet Gotha are doing well, and Viscount Krement is still unaware of the rebels' means of transport, then the rebels will not have any problems. But the problem is that once the situation of the war changes and space is blocked, then the rebels will not only be cut off from the supply line, but even cut off the retreat, and they will not even be able to retreat from this planet.

Therefore, look at the combination of these factors. When the rebels begin to fight and are defeated by Robin's accurate seizure of the fight, the lizardmen have no way out. Without Robin, their only outcome would be death, even if they could rely on their ability to resist heat and hunger for a long time, there would be no chance of any turnaround, at most it would only create more trouble for Viscount Cremont, and it would be impossible to escape the fate of destruction.

And now, Robin's surrender has given them another way out. So that they can survive without death and survive under the protection of Robin, the exotic lord. Although they will lose some sense of freedom when they become pawns, it is better than dying here, and judging from the news from Elton, the leader of the lizardmen, they may have gained far more than they lost.

According to the agreement made between Robin and Elton during the negotiation of the surrender, the lizardmen involved in the rebellion would serve Robin for one year without pay to compensate for the crimes they committed during the rebellion.

At the end of the year, Robin will give them the freedom to decide how they want to live their lives in the future.

In addition, during the service, Robin also promised to give the lizard people reasonable safety protection. In addition to the restrictions on freedom of movement and the mandatory working conditions that must be completed for a certain amount of time each day, Robin's surrender conditions to the lizardmen are in fact less lenient than prisoners of war.

Elton is naturally very satisfied with this. He believed that it was his ability to negotiate that had won the most favorable conditions for the lizardmen. But in fact, the reason why Robin is willing to give such generous conditions to this lizard-man rebel army is actually hidden by his huge ambitions.

After deciding to officially launch the plan to suppress the rebels, Robin carefully studied the composition of the mutant race. Because most of the mutants are artificially created through genetic modification and implanted with special gene fragments of alien lifeforms, their internal composition is very complex, and the vast majority of mutants are single individuals and do not have the characteristics of the species, and it is only because the empire has given these artifacts the broad title of mutants that they are forced to be classified into a family.

Within mutants, only a handful of mutants with a long history and popularity at some point exist in a sizable group. Among them, the three major races of lizardmen, armor and metal people are the most numerous, and their social composition is relatively complete.

Lizardmen have an absolute advantage in numbers, and their exact number is too large to estimate. After all, their history dates back to the early days of the Great Voyage, and their inventory is even older than the empire itself. After several generations of reproduction, their genetic characteristics have been basically fixed and have become a real Lou group.

The Armor is actually a continuation of the man-made special ability "Bone Armor", which has also been popularized in some countries for a certain period of time. Like Arnold, who died at the hands of Robin, warriors with the special ability of "bone armor" can control the composition of their bones, and they were once the main force of the light infantry class. And when these first-generation artificial knights inherited their sons-in-law, their special abilities were also passed on to the next generation through genetics. Therefore, their offspring are often born with some local skeletal deformities, some of the skeletal alienation can be controlled, some are not self-controlled, and the parts of their skeletal deformities are also different, so in terms of appearance, most of the A people look strange, so although they are the same family, the A people are not as united as the lizard people with a mature social system, but live alone in a scattered family mode.

As for the metal man, it is the product of the special ability "Steel Body." "The core concept of the steel body is to increase the density of metal elements in the human blood to form extraordinary muscle strength. This characteristic was once embodied in the Knight of the Knights of the Twin Stars of the Federation from Armslang.

By increasing the content of metal elements in the blood, the owner of the steel body has super strength and superior body resistance ability, even if it is not equipped with any armor, it can resist the shooting of small-caliber energy weapons at close range, and some warriors with a very amazing density of metal elements in the body, its defensive strength can even be comparable to a folding shield in the general sense, so as to achieve real invulnerability.

And this trait of theirs is the most easily accepted by genetics.

Therefore, "the descendants of steel bodies, special abilities, are almost 100% of the metal people, they are born with metal element values far beyond ordinary people, and with the growth of age and the usual ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
