Chapter 358: Phoenix Elegy (Part II)

The contingent that Phoenix surrendered was just over two hundred people. In addition to the soldiers, there were more than fifty nobles. There were also dozens of barons, tied up and guarded in the camp.

The Phoenix went to the city gates, the soldiers dismounted, unbuckled their armor and laid it on the ground, and the nobles took off their badges on their chests. All of them spoke at the same time and sang a song with a low and sad tune.

Phoenix, the immortal phoenix

Our glory

Illuminate the night

Mountains and rivers are long

The river is long

Banner of the Phoenix

Eternity flutters

Phoenix, my land

Forged in blood

Immortal city-state

Phoenix......

Phoenix......

The nobles and soldiers who had surrendered walked into the city gates, singing and singing, and there were already soldiers who could not cry.

The ceremony of surrender was simple, the nobles handed over their badges, wrote paperwork, separated their soldiers from the soldiers of other nobles, laid down their arms, and accepted the reorganization.

A magician recorded the surrender of the Phoenix and sent him back to Metatrin overnight. The news spread, and the North was shocked.

An army of 60,000 people surrendered en masse! Even if the Phoenix people were not as brave as the Qin Yin people, this was an unacceptable thing. Mars City is not in the Phoenix midline. It's more north, and the land north of Mars City is less than one-third of the entire Phoenix. The city to the north is less than a quarter of the size of the whole of Phoenix.

The news spread in the north, which was deliberately done by Saleen. Then, Salin copied the magic image and distributed it to the second battalion, so that they could take the magic image to the various towns in the north to persuade them to surrender.

The song of the rebels also spread throughout the north of Phoenix with the army that persuaded them to surrender.

This is Phoenix's elegy, and the effect is enormous, except for some nobles who commit suicide, most of the nobles, choose to surrender. Everyone knew what the elegy meant. Phoenix's bloodline has been severed, and what they are guarding is completely dead.

It was inevitable that Holy Rock City would occupy southern Phoenix, and surrendering the Kingdom of Metatrin was just the last thing these fallen nobles could do.

Phoenix was doomed to extinction, and with it, the kingdom of Metatrin in the north.

In mid-September, before the arrival of winter in Metatling, Saleen received the surrendered Phoenix nobles in Metatrin. These nobles who surrendered turned out to be not only the people north of Mars City, but also the nobles south of Mars City.

The army of Guderian City, in two months, took the city of the Sun to conquer. Both sides suffered heavy losses. The Phoenix people of Sun City put up a desperate resistance, but in the end they could not avoid the fate of defeat.

Many nobles saw this clearly, fled to the north in advance, and completely took refuge in the kingdom of Metatrin. And Guderian's army, as expected, did not cross the line of Martian City, but expanded a large city two hundred miles south of Martian City, facing Martian City from a distance.

This means that Holy Rock acknowledges Metatrin's occupation of Martian City, as well as actual ownership of the lands to the north.

This was also a reluctant choice for the Holy Rock City, and Rex launched a powerful offensive southeast of Garulan, driving away several of the main legions of the Holy See and capturing three large cities. The area of land controlled by Rex in Garolan is almost a quarter of that controlled by Holy Rock City.

With such a strong combat power, Saint Rock City had to adopt a tolerant attitude in Phoenix.

There has been no reliable reply from Yunliu's side, although the Titan Principality has been occupied in half, the Yunliu Emperor has not chosen to ally with Qin Yin, and Sacred Rock City is now ready to face the attacks of all countries at any time, of course, there can be no civil strife.

Metatrin established a large city southeast of the Rhine to contain the Rhine's advance to the northwest of Phoenix or Qinyin. This is just a gesture, if the army of Metatrin is attacked in Phoenix, then the army in this big city will not help Qin Yin to assist in the defense, and it is even possible to take a helping attitude towards the attack of the Rhine Principality.

It's not that Shengyan City doesn't have the ability to defend itself, it's just that the southern nobles are surging, and the news that the Commons has obtained from the secret agents in the south is that there are already nobles colluding with the Yunliu people. As for the reason, it is because Prince Sephiroth squeezed out the daughter of the first emperor, the King of Rexshire.

Because of this reason, Prince Sephiroth had to endure it, and one-third of the Phoenix land, compared to the southern nobles of Qin Yin, was as light as a feather.

Salin's envoys also arrived at the Holy Rock Castle and established the embassy. Prince Sephiroth was not without gain, and at his request, Saleen sent envoys to the Duchy of the Rhine to ask for an alliance.

The legacy's delegation was driven out of the Duchy of the Rhine, and the city of Holy Rock finally found an excuse and began to gather forces south of the Duchy of the Rhine, ready to launch an invasion at any time. Saleen, on the other hand, founded two more cities in the eastern Rhine, both of which were not large and were prepared purely for war. In one city, Rex's army was stationed, and in the other, Phoenix soldiers who had surrendered were stationed.

Qin Yin, Kushui Prefecture, and Metatrin formed a semi-encirclement posture against the Rhine Principality.

In Garudan. Qin Yin's army, with the help of Alchemy City, pushed the battle line to the west of the Caucasus Mountains and controlled most of the land of Garudan.

The Holy Rock once again contacted Metatrin and demanded that Metatrin declare a state of war against the Duchy of the Rhine. Of course, Saleen will not be cannon fodder, and it is okay to declare war, but Metatrin will definitely not launch an active attack.

Holy Rock City didn't have this plan in the first place, and the price paid by Prince Sephiroth was nothing more than selling countless grains to Salin at a low price. In Qinyin, the grain in the granary is piled up. This grain is more than fifty years old, and even if there is a warehouse made by a magician, it will be disposed of as waste.

Qin Yin was never short of food, and it didn't matter if these rotten grains were given to the people of Metatlins.

Salin didn't suffer a loss, the price he gave was low, and later he even went to Qin Yin to transport away all the grain that was about to expire in the warehouse, and he just paid the freight.

Unaware that Saleen possessed elven magic to make hunger-sufficiency pills, Prince Sephiroth had heard that Metatrin was buying horses for the sake of using the old grain to feed his livestock.

Metatrin declared war on the Rhine, and the Rhine Duchy only ignored Salin as mad. Moreover, winter is coming, and Saleen's army on the border is less than 100,000, and it cannot threaten the Rhine principality at all.

In this case. Saleen receives the captives, the nobles of Phoenix.

Salin did not retain the titles of these nobles, nor did he deprive them of their powers. These nobles, in the Kingdom of Metatrin, became a special group of beings.

They had property, soldiers, a higher status than the merchants, and lower than the nobility. If you want to get a knighthood, you have to fight with Saleen and get merit. Comparatively speaking, it is easier for them to obtain meritorious service than others.

Salin did not directly reward these surrendered nobles because he was afraid that these people would not have a sense of belonging. In order for these nobles to understand their own power. Saleen organized a military parade in the largest arena.

The kingdom of Metatrin swelled rapidly, and it was Salin who absorbed the civilians of Phoenix that Salin valued the most.

What made Saleen happiest was that Sika was pregnant. Schika and Salin didn't use elven potions either, but the potions were almost finished and Salin was going to use them later.

There was a festive atmosphere in Nanyuan, and the Caucasian people were more excited than Salin, and with the permission of the elders, they started a carnival. The descendants of the priests directly inherit some of the priests' abilities, and they will grow faster than any Caucasian. Sika had offspring, which was almost equivalent to the Caucasian having one more earth priest.

At this time, Salin also discovered the extraordinaryness of Sika, all the Caucasian warriors close to her, the strength increased rapidly, Sarin's temple legion often came into contact with Sika, and almost all the Caucasian warriors in it reached the level of swordsman or above.

This is a power more powerful than divine art, and those warriors don't pray all day.

Just when everything was developing rapidly and very smoothly in Metatrin, the southeast of Callouland, away from the sea, in the place called Panhu by the Qin people, the fleet of the Yunliu people appeared.

This huge inland lake is bordered to the south by Qinyin to the east and separated by the mountains, to the west by the Duchy of Titans, and to the north by a small part, which happens to border the Garulan region controlled by Rex. It is only more than two hundred miles wide, not a mountainous area, and it can enter the territory of Garulan, and the fleet of the Yunliu people appears here, obviously aimed at Rex.

The envoys of the Yunliu people landed from here and came to the Great Liang City established by Rex.

Daliang City was rebuilt on the basis of the old city, which is equivalent to the capital of Kushui County. Rex garrisoned 100,000 troops here, also to prevent Yunliu people from sneaking up behind the attack. The fleet that Salin had promised her had not yet been built, and she had only a small fleet of ships from the sea, which was not a fleet.

The fleet of the Emissary of the Cloud is blind to Rex's fleet. Drive directly to the shore. In the small town on the shore, someone had already released carrier pigeons and sent the news to Daliang City.

In the palace of the county king in Daliang City, a seven-story magic tower stands. Rex received the news in the magic tower and immediately became uneasy. The Yunliu people didn't bother to contact Shengyan City, so why did they send envoys over?

"Nicholas, please. Rex remembered Nicholas, who had not yet left, and immediately ordered his magic apprentices.

After a short time, Nicholas came to the sixth floor of the magic tower, the seventh floor was where Rex's magician lived, and Rex could only cultivate on the sixth floor.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me? I'm about to go back. After Nicholas escorted Rex back, he was retained by Rex and participated in several important battles, gaining a lot of benefits. However, it was already September, and he was returning to Metatrin and was about to say goodbye to Rex.

"Nicholas...... The Yunliu people sent envoys. Rex pointed to the information brought by the carrier pigeon and said to Nicholas.

"Your Highness, are you worried? If I am allowed to stay, I need the consent of the lord, and I will also go to the Broken Sword Pass to supervise the final construction. Although Nicholas was polite to Rex, he was a courtier of Sareen, and he couldn't help Rex all the time, and he was always a little uneasy because it was too close to the Holy See's army.

"No, I've heard that the magician has a powerful ability called prophecy, and I want to know, Yunliu people, what are you going to do?"
