Chapter 498: This Is Our Victory!

Dusk is gradually falling.

Outside the Horn Fort, on the endless wilderness, the soldiers of the Lion Kingdom who were squatting in the battle roll were sentry with dry food, and suddenly saw a white flag rising from the Tongbao in the distance.

At first, the soldiers thought they were mistaken.

It wasn't until they found that there was no one on the opposite side that more and more people reacted.

One of the veterans immediately stuffed the half-cut rations back into his pocket and trotted behind the trench to report to the centurion. "Report that Fort Clarion raised the white flag." "White Flag"

The centurion was shocked when he heard this, and immediately ran to the front line with a telescope to personally confirm it, and found that it was indeed a white flag. Unsure if it was a trap set by the legion, the centurion did not dare to slack off and immediately reported the news to his superiors. In this way, after layers of reporting, the news quickly spread to the Skeleton Corps.

Driven to the front line with twenty tanks, the eye-rat raised his binoculars and glanced at the fortifications in the distance.

Half an hour earlier, he had learned of Griffin's death from his war buddies, and he was not surprised that the white flag was raised at the fort.

The administrators in Falcon City have come to an agreement with the Governor sent by the Legion.

The Legion would abandon the claim to Bicestertown, and in exchange, the Coalition would acquiesce to the more than 50,000 "de facto captives" at Fort Clarion, lay down their arms and leave the fortified fortress in dignity, heading to the northernmost embankment of Oasis 2 to wait for the ceasefire to take effect.

He put down his binoculars and looked at the Lion Kingdom soldiers standing aside.

”…… Let your 17,000-man squad stationed north of Fort Clarion retreat, and let these defeated men leave. "Yes"

The herald gave a military salute and immediately trotted in the direction of the communication station.

Although the Lion Kingdom's army is nominally under the command of Prince Winter, it is actually the Alliance's army command that is in concert. Even their radios were supplied to them by the Alliance.

The accompanying commander glanced at the eyed rat standing in the turret of the tank and asked incomprehensibly. "Why don't we take the opportunity to wipe them all out," the Canyon fugitive rat replied casually. "Griffin is dead." The commander was stunned.

His information channels did not hear anything like that at all. ”! Isn't this the opportunity of a lifetime "War is a means, not an end," the sheep in the fan squinted his eyes in the distance, and casually pretended to be forced, "This war is over, and you can go home soon." ”

Several officers of the Lion Kingdom looked at each other.

They followed the Alliance's armies, chasing the ass of the Legion and the Falcon Kingdom all the way to here a thousand kilometers away. However, except for the prisoners they picked up along the way, many of them were stunned that they didn't even have a chance to meet an enemy with a gun, and carefully recalled that in the past month or two, all offensive battles had basically been covered by the Alliance's Skeleton Corps and Wind Earnest Corps. Along the way, in addition to helping to serve tea, pour water and send supplies, they also dug pits and filled lines to clean up the battlefield, and then suddenly surrendered on the other side. This battle is inevitably easy

When the dogs of the alliance are so comfortable, it is really beyond the imagination of the officers of these vassal states.

The eye mouse then looked at the other players who were looking curiously at the side with their necks stretched out, and shouted in Mandarin. "The brothers take turns to go offline to eat, and those who are okay for a while are on the number." Meng Xin, who was following behind the tank, yawned and asked. "Is there an event at night?" "Didn't they all vote on the other side?" ”

"You don't understand this, the legion is in such a hurry, it's impossible to take all the supplies away," the eye rat said with a smile, "The agreement negotiated by the administrator only stipulates that they will be let go, when we will withdraw, and it doesn't say that we can't go to their house before retreating." The ceasefire agreement will have to be negotiated for two days

It is estimated that there are not many supplies and ammunition to be picked up, and the pots and pans have been almost blown up by the mosquito brothers, but those weapons and artillery and anti-aircraft guns of various calibers can always be taken away, right? And those spherical armored turrets, all of which are made of armor steel

The alliance wants to build ships in Tianshui, and to engage in large-scale production in Xizhou City, and there are many places where alloys are used, even if they are away from scrap iron, they can sell it for a lot of money. As for shipping it back, don't worry.

The entire army of the Lion Kingdom has been reused by the alliance as a logistics force, and tens of thousands of people have helped, even a little move of the ants can be emptied for it! The newcomers on the side were stunned when they heard this. "it, this is okay", "This is not a good person!"

"Otherwise" Looking at the fuss sprouts, Yi Miao laughed and teased, "Or how do you think our tank cannon was rented" The elf Wang Fugui, who was sitting in the driver's seat, said with a smile. "I'll go back and drive a transport card."

Armored trucks carry heavy machine guns and ammunition, and they can't tow much, and they are certainly not as efficient as professional trucks. The eye mouse directly waved his hand.

"Don't just go to the truck, pull the folks of the Lion Kingdom as well, so that they don't need to bring guns and go to the legion's position to pick them up! The elf king Fugui smiled. "Ridiculous" Horn Fort.

Less than two hours after Griffin's death, the entire fortress, which covers several square kilometers, was empty.

On the orders of the acting commander, General Alec, the 50,000-strong army unloaded its weapons and withdrew to the embankment to the north along the route designated by the coalition.

More than 50,000 clone soldiers will be left in the local area, after all, it is not economical to bring them back with only a few years of life, it is better to engage in construction and use them as fertilizer after death, which can be regarded as making the best use of things.

Hundreds of Willant officers and more than 1,000 non-commissioned officers will return to Triumph City with the airship after the ceasefire agreement takes effect. Hearing that I could finally go home, almost every tired face was filled with joy.

At the call of Griffin and the officers of the Eastward Expansion faction, they traveled thousands of miles to the East in search of treasure, glory and adventure, but when they arrived, they realized that this was not an amusement park for gold as they had imagined.

As for non-Willant officers and non-commissioned officers, such as those who have been promoted to the regular establishment due to special circumstances, they can voluntarily choose to stay. If they choose to stay, they will receive a sum ranging from 1,000 to 50,000 dinars, depending on their rank, as is customary. It's just that most people choose to go to Triumph City.

While the Weylant society is rife with xenophobia, it is less extreme in Triumph City.

For example, slaves with a lower status than foreigners, only in Triumph City, the law of "no slaves can be executed at will" and "the right to protect the life and health of slaves" will be strictly enforced, and violators will be punished with huge fines, and even criminal punishment in serious cases.

And in the distant frontiers or in the estates of the nobles, the slaves were not much better than the cattle and sheep, and most of the governors or consuls of the foreign tribes were left in the local area with severance money with one eye, and God knows what would happen in the future.

What's more, after fighting the hungry wolf army of the Alliance, almost all the soldiers and officers have a bit of a psychological shadow. They just want to get out of this land of right and wrong. But!!!

Not everyone is in such a hurry to leave.

At the entrance to the bunker in the center of Fort Horn, the Willant soldiers standing at the observation post glanced to the south of Ruo, and immediately fell into the bunker on the side. They were Griffin's personal guards.

When they retreated, General Alec ordered them to leave, but their commander Karloff refused to carry out the acting commander's orders, so everyone stayed.

Trotting in front of Karlov, the soldier said with a nervous expression. "Sir, the Coalition is here."

Karloff nodded, walked out of the bunker with a blank face, and walked along the narrow concrete tunnel, and the gate directly south of the observation post above the bunker was blown open, and the barricade blocking the door was dragged to the side of the road by several soldiers, and in the distance trucks drove into the Horn Fort. Without waiting for the truck to stop, one by one the excited soldiers of the Lion Kingdom

The porridge got out of the truck, and at the beckoning of the commander, he ran towards the barracks and various defense areas not far away, intending to scrape the loot that the Lantes had not had time to take.

Karloff watched silently as the tents in the distance were topplunged, the loot was crammed onto the trucks, and the rain-laden trucks drove away and empty trucks returned. There are no waves in the heart chambers.

Those people are like hyenas lying on top of a lion...... The soldier standing next to him took a deep breath and looked at Karlov. "Sir, we" Karlov looked at the men coldly. "Leave them alone." Even if you want to, you can't manage it.

They only numbered a few hundred men, and they were desperately short of ammunition, so they could not benefit from a frontal battle, let alone being surrounded in a bunker. The war is over.

He just wanted to keep Griffin's body

While Karloff was watching the soldiers who were scarring for the booty, the soldiers who were scrambled for the booty soon spotted him standing at the observation post, and a budding newcomer trotted up to the eye mouse and reported. "There are a few Willantes in front of the boss," he said, raising his eyebrows. "Take me there."

"Okay" walked to the front with the player, and the Eye Rat glanced at the Willant standing at the observation post, and succinctly reported to himself, "Captain of the Skeleton Corps, Eye Mouse." Karloff said slowly. General Griffin's personal guard, Karlov. "

"Why don't you go," asked with a smile as he glanced at the bunker with the gate closed, "or is there any treasure in it?" ”

Karloff was silent for a moment, and finally sent the grip to the truth. "General Alec took all the papers, and burned everything that could not be taken...... There was nothing but the body of my deceased chief, whom we were ordered to take on one last journey. 'Oh'. The eye rat lost interest. Think about it too.

That's long enough time to take away the things that really matter, and as long as the acting commander isn't retarded, it's impossible to forget things in the bunker. As for Griffin's remains.

The survivors of the Falling Rain Head may want to take this guy out and whip the corpse, but he is not a survivor of the Falling Rain Head, just a player, and he does not have such a deep sense of substitution for the suffering of the aftermath of the war, let alone a corpse. But out of curiosity, he asked casually. "Oh, how did he die" "Stroke. "

"Hey, I don't want to talk about it," the fake mouse shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "By the way, everything here is ours, you have no opinion" Karloff nodded silently. "No comment."

Disposing of the spoils of war, deciding the fate of the losers, and mercy and tolerance are all prerogatives that belong to the victors, who are simply exercising their power. The eye-eyed rat stared at the closed iron door twice, feeling a little sorry in his heart.

During the Alliance's first military operation against Falling Rain, the Command transferred the Iron Heart to the City of Plenty, while sending the Skeleton Corps in the direction of Lost Valley. At that juncture, Griffin predicted that the Alliance had learned of his own information, and would concentrate all his armored forces in advance to set up an ambush on the east side of the Lost Valley.

Even in retrospect, the Eyed Rat has to admire, that guy is simply a genius. At that time, his skeleton corps was taken by surprise.

If it weren't for the variables outside the battlefield, if it weren't for the No. 60 electromagnetic cannon of the Enterprise Support Alliance, that guy's plan might have succeeded.

In fact, earlier, if it weren't for the information collected by Comrade Pangolin when he passed by Camp 530, the Lion Kingdom might not have been able to complete the war preparations with the alliance at all.

And even though the plan fell short of expectations again and again, the guy still made remedies in time until the last moment of his life.

Even if you don't chew through the old accounts of the Bone Tribe, the alliance has almost been destroyed at the hands of this boss at least twice. Looking away from the iron door, his eyes flapped at Karloff, who was standing at the observation post, "Aside from the devastation of the war, your commander is an impressive opponent...... I'm glad he died, and I'm sorry he didn't die at our hands. Karlov's expression was slightly touched and moved his Adam's apple, but he didn't say anything, just nodded silently in thanks, and turned around and walked back to the bunker. At the same time, Falcon City.

Cohen, who was sitting in a room of the castle, finally received a call from the acting commander, General Alec, after a long wait. ”!!! We've arrived in Far West, and hell, this place is too poor. Alec's voice was tinged with joy.

Although he could only be a commander for a few days, it could be regarded as a pain for him to pass the pain of commanding thousands of troops. When he was under Griffin before, he was an adjutant who only had a chores, and he was often caught between junior officers and superiors. It's been the end of the day. "Have you all withdrawn?"

"Withdrew····· Except for Griffin's personal guards, who insisted on staying, I couldn't persuade them, so I went with them. Cohen nodded.

Griffin's descendants don't need him to worry about it, if they have to find death, then let them go.

"You'll have to stay there for a while, and when the ceasefire comes into effect, Captain Adria will take you home.

Alec said with a smile. "Great."

After the words fell, both sides suddenly lost their voices, and they both seemed to feel that the other party had something to say, and they both planned to wait for the other party to speak first. But the silence didn't last long.

Seeing that Mr. Governor was slow to speak, Alec took the initiative to ask. "Sir, did we lose," Cohen replied succinctly.

"The ceasefire negotiations do not include this part, and you will bring victory back to Triumph City." Both sides will announce their own words. This is as an account of one's own people.

Alec breathed a sigh of relief at the answer he wanted to hear. "I see.

As he and the captains had guessed, it was impossible for the Legion to surrender to the Enterprise, let alone to the Alliance.

The corporate side will not be naïve to think that this victory alone is enough to mean that the military strength of the East Coast has surpassed that of the West Coast.

As for those who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they probably want to take this opportunity to ask for some benefits. Although naïve and ridiculous, the problems that can be solved by buying interests are not called problems, and he is not bad at entangled with them because of a little change of head. The barbarians can take it if they want.

He also made as many concessions as he could, such as acquiescing to the Alliance's frustration of the client states, giving them supplies that had been sent to Griffin, and acquiescing in their occupation of Bicestertown......

In exchange, the alliance would return to a series of prisoners, including McLaen, General Soft, and acquiesce to the defenders of Fort Clarion to lay down their arms and withdraw with dignity from their positions,

The rescued captives and the freed officers, as well as the factions on the Triumph side, would thank themselves. Not only did he help them preserve their strength, but he also helped them achieve "victories" that they did not achieve on the battlefield. They will thank him. This would be a huge political resource.

"By the way, Lord Governor." Suddenly remembering one more thing, Alec spoke on the phone. Cohen said casually. "Is there anything else?"

Alec hesitated, and reported truthfully.

"Griffin's body didn't get it......... The cause of his death was somewhat strange. Cohen said nonchalantly.

"Let him go with that kind of thing, whoever wants to collect the body for him will go, it doesn't matter."

I had already warned Joseph not to expect to save that guy, but I didn't expect that guy to die. Although such an ending is not bad.

A mere three-star captain also wanted to kidnap the entire Triumph City, and these officers who climbed up from the bottom really dared to think. Isn't that barefoot not afraid to wear shoes?

If he is still alive, he will definitely not have good fruit to eat when he goes back, and if he dies outside, he may be able to be a tragic hero. Maybe it's the guidance of the commander of the Eastern Legion.

Cohen shook his head with a smile and hung up the phone casually, like a boring trivial. Following.

The council chamber at Falcon City Castle was packed.

A few days ago, it was still deserted, and only a few representatives from all sides had sent over the place, and only a few people had spoken. And now, the originally spacious conference table seems a little crowded for a while.

First of all, on the side of the Legion, in addition to the five-star captain Cohen, the governor appointed by Triumph City, the new commander-in-chief, Joseph, and the captain of the Planter, Hudria, etc., almost all the officers above the captain and above who were not captured attended the meeting.

On the enterprise side, in addition to Vice Minister Wu of the General Management Department, a large number of his subordinates and dispatched employees from the five major groups also came. Including Yi Chuan of the Silver Wing Group, Yun Ye of the Endpoint Group, Wu Mu of the Changge Group and Li Changkong of the Ideal Group, and two bionic people of the Kangmao Group.

In addition to these characters with status, Chu Guang also saw several reporters from Ideal City.

Among them were the "Zhiyuan News" that he knew, and some media that he didn't have much impression of, but he only felt that the logo on the device in their hands was familiar, probably from an interview in the area of Dawning City before. Considering the historical significance of this ceasefire negotiation, and the fact that photos and videos would be played many times, Chu Guang paid attention to the management of his expression from the moment he entered the conference hall.

As he expected, from the moment he walked into the chamber, almost all the camera was focused on him.

"Vault 404 and the Coalition's administrators!" The Futurist reporter lowered his voice and said excitedly, "I heard that he is from the pre-war era. "Where did you hear that?" The all-knowing all-knowing reporter cast a surprised look at her. "At the time of the interview in Dawn City," "But he looked like he was in his twenties. "

"What's the matter, aren't the managers of the vault all old popsicles that have been frozen and dormant until now? I wonder he's already an old monster who has lived for more than two hundred years!" The reporters from Ideal City have been chattering noisily. Although it was not abrupt in such a messy setting, it still annoyed Li Ke sitting at the conference table, especially when the reporters tried to interview him.

Fortunately, the swamp doesn't have these annoying guys, otherwise it would be over one day...... These probe-brained guys are better than the mutant crocodiles in the swamp.

There were also a few soldiers from the Alliance, and the look in my eyes always made him feel weird...... How to describe it, it's like the earth bodhisattvas of the Golden Lizard Kingdom saw the gold coin. Looking at Chu Guang, who was sitting on the side, Li Ke tilted his head towards him and asked in a low voice. "Why are so many people here all of a sudden?

"After all, it's a moment to witness history, isn't it normal to take a group photo." Chu Guang smiled, but suddenly thought that it might be a misunderstanding for his friends in the north, so he politely added, "Of course."

I'm talking about the journalists. Li Ke coughed. You don't have to emphasize the sentence "Quiet, everyone, please be quiet." "

At this time, Wu Changnian, the representative of the enterprise who had finally signed his name, clapped his hands and signaled the chattering reporters and the nobles of the Falcon Kingdom to be quiet. Wait for the chamber to be a little quieter. He spoke in a calm voice.

"Thank you for your support and cooperation, today's peace is inseparable from your efforts."

"The contract that has lasted for a century and a half will continue, this declining world does not need more wars, and in the face of existential crises, we should work together to face common threats and explore a common future...... "He spoke for about ten minutes.

The representatives of the Mao to the legion yawned, and Wu Changnian stopped talking and handed the three signed agreements in his hand to his subordinates on the side, who handed them to the Willant officer standing next to the meeting. "That's a lot of nonsense."

Koth snapped his face, picked up a pen and signed his name on the three agreements, and then pushed forward, directly in front of Chu Guang on the other side of the negotiating table. The contents of the agreement have been repeatedly confirmed. The final signing was just a formality.

He just wanted to end this boring ritual quickly, quickly dispose of the mess left by the previous commander-in-chief, and then retake the Lietang Kingdom from the hands of the Alliance. After all......

Even if nominally they were not defeated, the content of the agreement would not be glorious for the Legion.

Most of the "substantial benefits" that belonged to the alliance were outside of this piece of paper, and Chu Guang simply glanced at the agreement.

Apart from a series of provisions, including restrictions on garrisons and the withdrawal of troops from all sides, there are only three items that are important to the alliance on this black-and-white document.

One is that the legion and the Hunter Tang Kingdom accept an unconditional ceasefire. The other is the Iron Heart, which originally belonged to the Legion, and Bicester Town, which are owned by the Alliance according to the principle of "maintaining the status quo".

As for the last one, it's about Vault 0.

One or two representatives of the military, the enterprise, and the alliance will each send one or two representatives to investigate, and the academy as the observer will also send a technician to assist. After confirming that the content of the agreement was correct, Chu Guang signed his name at the bottom of the ceasefire agreement under the watchful eyes of all the participants. As is customary, he should say something on this important occasion. However, he is not in the habit of writing at length.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Chu Guangmao smiled and nodded to the players standing on the side, such as Lao Bai, Edge Paddling, Spring Water Commander, etc. "It's an honor to be with you to witness this moment." This is our victory."

1 second to remember:
