Chapter 302: Windfall!
Free city-state!
Countless wails rang out.
These wails were made by the Cape seekers who sought freedom.
All along, the Empire has used small-scale extermination tactics against those 'rebels'.
At most, only 200,000 troops were dispatched.
An army of 200,000 is already an astronomical number for the people of a free city-state.
But this time, the empire sent a full army of a million.
In the free city-state, plus the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are only 200,000.
200,000 vs. 1 million!
And it was also when the weapons of the Imperial Army were advanced.
The battlefield is almost one-sided.
Catherina bit her lip as she watched countless of her subordinates fall in the middle of the battlefield.
That's right!
Catherina is from the goal.
But she's just a woman after all.
The cruelty of war is greatly underestimated.
The Imperial army did not show mercy to the fact that their opponents were unarmed civilians.
On the contrary, the attack is even more ruthless!
First, he bombarded the free city-state with energy cannons, forcing the people hiding in the free city-state to fight.
This was followed by massacres of all kinds.
Monis, who was next to Catherina, saw her former brother falling under enemy fire, and couldn't help but plead: "Miss Catherina, please give the order to withdraw your troops!" If we withdraw our troops now, we may still be able to keep some of the tinder. ”
Catherina began to shake when she heard Monis's pleading.
She's not afraid of death!
But that doesn't mean her subordinates aren't afraid of death!
The reason why these warriors dared to aim their weapons at the Imperial army was because they were afraid of death.
Under the tyranny of El III, there was no way to survive.
It is precisely because of this that these civilians are willing to follow themselves.
But now, he is letting them die.
Rumble!
A shell fell not far from Catherina.
The loud pop shook her ears a little.
But Catherina couldn't care so much now.
She had to make a decision!
Withdraw troops or continue to fight?
Now that the troops are withdrawn, the goal of the Imperial Army has been achieved.
Perhaps only a small number of troops will be sent to encircle and suppress themselves.
In this way, the remaining fighters may still have a chance to live.
However, as soon as the order to withdraw troops was issued, it represented the complete failure of the uprising.
The bloody lesson lies ahead.
I am afraid that for a long time, there will be no more voices against El III on the planets of Cape.
But for this one-sided war, Catherina has completely lost the determination to continue to fight.
She didn't want to see her men die in this pointless battle.
Monis found that Catherina had not given the order for a long time, and suddenly became a little anxious: "Miss Catherina, what are you still hesitating about?" Do you really want to watch them all die on this battlefield? ”
"Are you still pinning your hopes on those outsiders? Even if they were able to capture El III, by the time they arrived at the battlefield, we would be dead. ”
Monis's words destroyed the last glimmer of hope in Catherina's heart, and she looked up at the sky in distraction.
Father, I still haven't accomplished your goal after all.
The El family did not fall because of this.
And I'm going to see my father soon.
Call......
Catherina let out a heavy breath and said word by word: "All soldiers obey the order and ......withdraw from now on."
Before Catherina could finish speaking, there was a roar in the distance.
It sounded as if something was approaching quickly.
Could it be......
Catherina suddenly thought of something, and a hint of hope appeared on her face.
In the next moment, hundreds of figures from far to present appeared in everyone's sight.
"It's Su Han! They're back! ”
When Catherina saw the figures clearly, she couldn't help but cheer.
Because she found out that Su Han was carrying a person in his hand, it was El III.
Compared to the cheers from the side of the free city-states, the Imperial army immediately closed its camp and made a defensive posture.
In particular, the 'Great General' had a wry smile on his face when he saw Al III who appeared on the battlefield.
El III was captured by the people of the Free City-State.
This is a big problem!
Su Han landed beside Catherina, handed El III to her, and said with a smile: "Miss Catherina, I have fulfilled my promise to bring El III back to you." ”
Catherina nodded slightly at Su Han, and then moved her gaze to El III.
El III found that Catherina's eyes were very cold when she looked at her, and her body trembled involuntarily: "Catherina, what do you want to do?" Don't forget, I'm the heir of House El, and if you kill me, the Imperial forces will slaughter everyone here. ”
Catherina said and pouted slightly: "El III, if I Catherina were afraid of the Imperial army, I would not appear in such a place. ”
"The El family is rotten, and there must be a new family to lead the planet CapeXe."
"Only in this way will the planet Cape not become an interstellar colony of other civilizations."
El III noticed that Catherina seemed determined to kill herself, and her tone became agitated: "Catherina, if it weren't for me to get the key to the treasure, you would have survived to this day. ”
"As long as I have the key to open the treasure, I can trade with other civilizations, and at that time, the Cape Planet will become even more powerful."
On the side, after Su Han heard the words 'treasure key', a gleam flashed in his eyes.
At first, he was also very curious, with the strength of the El Empire, he could completely crush the free city-states.
But the El Empire has allowed the free city-states to survive for so long.
Feeling that El III is not a fool, he did it all to get the key to Catherina.
Catherina didn't expect El III to tell such a secret on such an occasion, and in a fit of rage, she actually took off her sword and pierced El III's body.
After dealing with El III, Catherina came to Su Han's side and said softly, "As long as you protect the people of the free city-state, half of the treasure will be shared with you." ”
Hearing this, Su Han smiled, smiling unusually brightly.
I really didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected receipt.
What kind of treasure is it that even El III covets, and can even be traded with other civilizations?
At this moment, Su Han not only began to be curious about the treasure of El III.
