The glory of victory belongs only to the victors.

For the loser, even if he gains decency, it is still difficult to feel joy in it. Compared to Ideal City and Dawning City, Falcon City at night seemed a little quiet.

Although the name of the ceasefire agreement is the Falcon City Agreement, it has nothing to do with the Falcon Kingdom, and has never considered the interests of the Falcon Kingdom, but for the nobles here, this does not mean that it is completely bad.

The supreme city of Triumph finally intervened, and although it did not send a large army to help them recover the field, at least it saved them the humiliation of surrendering as a defeated nation. As for the town of Bicester.

The ghost place where the birds don't poop wasn't originally in Oasis 2, and from the beginning it was something that General Klaas had to stuff into them, and the alliance took it if they wanted, and it wasn't them who lost anyway.

Only the citizens of the royal capital, or more accurately, the young men who had been disarmed and returned to the fields, would be indignant at such a result. They fought an unquestionable war, gaining nothing but scars and disabilities, and many of them losing their possessions and even their loved ones. In the end, even the master who rode on top of them did not change, the king was still the king, and the one who held the rope was still the Willant. What's even more hateful is that those Willantes didn't give them any compensation!! The council chamber of the castle.

The representatives of the parties took the agreement to their satisfaction, and this room, which belonged to the royal family, was finally returned to its king. There are only a few rooms left before the entire castle is recovered.

A group of well-dressed aristocrats sat here, and the warmth of the chairs made them feel like they were in the middle of the day, as if the noon negotiations were related to them. "So the league eventually gave up on Oasis 2." "Looks like so."

"I don't know what kind of impact this will have on the situation in the desert."

"Can the citizens' self-government committee be dissolved? Those pigs have been shouting and rebelling all day long, and they are mixed up with the deserters!" The Willantes may be able to help us out of this problem.

"Ah...... "Willant, I hope they don't drag us into unprepared battles." "The Governor should be okay this time, I feel like Klaas's idiot is much better." Looking at the whispering nobles in the council chamber, King Montgot's face was full of sadness and joy. For him, it's just a change of master, and it makes no difference whether it's a legion or an alliance.

It's better to say that the Legion is better to get along with, at least those Willantes rarely touch the cake in the hands of the royal family, as long as they are obedient and obedient. At this time, a man with a grim face strode in.

His hair was dry, his skin was rough, and his young and handsome face had aged after years of service, and he even had the wind and frost that he should not have at his age.

"Your Majesty, the head of the Wilhelm Industrial Zone has reported to me that the army of the Alliance has removed almost all the equipment in the park, especially in the Royal Foundry, and even the engineers and skilled workers in the factory......... Including their family."

William's tone was filled with resentment, and he said it almost through gritted teeth.

He valued the importance of industry more than any other aristocracy, and the machines that stinked with engine oil could not produce honey and milk, but they could help them plunder the wider land. Especially after this war, he was even more convinced that only industry could save the kingdom.

It is for this reason that after the alliance released him yesterday, he left Bicester Town without even caring about the remnants of the army, and ran to the industrial area he had founded with only a group of light horses. However, when he got there, the situation inside made him

fell into despair.

The Coalition has moved almost everything it can to move away.

Except for a few empty factories and warehouses in the huge park, there was not a single hair left for him. Taking a deep breath, he struggled to control his emotions and continued in a trembling voice.

“……… I beg you to go to Mr. Governor and ask him to put pressure on the Coalition to return the looted equipment and population to us. Hearing the child's request, Montgot sighed slowly and said helplessly.

"Mr. Governor won't help us...... He even gave Griffin's equipment to the Alliance, the war is over, children, the cake that should be shared is over, today we will only discuss the future

There was one sentence he did not say.

Not only are they not qualified to share the cake, they are even the cake themselves. William gritted his teeth.

"At least...... Shouldn't those craftsmen be returned to us as captives? They keep saying that slavery is abolished, so they won't be taken into slavery, right?"

King Montgot was silent for a moment.

"The manager really didn't get things done. William, who had regained hope, was overjoyed. "That," Montgoth sighed.

"They gave the captives the freedom to decide whether to stay or not.

William was stunned.

The nobles at the conference table whispered, and Count Cronway couldn't help but curse, and slammed his fist on the table. "The bandits went early the next morning.

Dressed in a crisp suit, Taute arrived at the building of the Civic Autonomous Committee early, said hello to the doorman, and went to the office humming a tune.

This was originally the house of the tax office, and since the Union moved the ledger here, the old men with their nostrils did not dare to come back, so this big house was thrown to them.

Ever since he became the chairman of the committee, Taute has felt that his identity is different.

Especially the respectful and fearful eyes of those nobles when they looked at him, which made him feel as if he had become a nobleman without a title. Even the king did not dare to let him salute.

In order to show off the difference in his status, he deliberately found a tailor who made clothes for His Majesty, and asked the man to make himself a chic hat. Of course, unlike the nobles, he had to pay.

Looking at the hat with colorful feathers on the table, Taute liked it more and more, and put it on his head and fiddled with it in the mirror.

However, at this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and as soon as he looked up, he saw his secretary walking in with a panicked expression.

"Didn't I tell you to knock on the door?"

Looking at the displeased Taot, the secretary said with a smile on his face. "Don't worry about anything... It's a big deal, the people of the alliance are gone!"

Taut sat up from his chair abruptly, his hands propped up on the table, his round eyes wide. "Gone, the alliance is leaving"

The secretary nodded nervously and said with a smile in her eyes. "Right····· They returned to the airship early this morning, and although the airship had not yet left, the anchor chain had been put away. Losing interest in the hat on his head for a moment, Tauter tore it off and tossed it aside, got up and walked over to the secretary and asked anxiously. "Did they explain anything after they left? What are we going to do? What about later? Is it to listen to the Willant? Or listen to the king?

The administrator's ignorance of them made him feel a little frightened, and his back began to feel cold when he remembered the eyes of the nobles on the execution ground who looked at him before,

The secretary hesitated, then hesitated.

They said...... People need to save themselves after all, they have already come, and the rest is up to us. Taute looked at the secretary in front of him with a confused expression. Come on your own

Looking at the hat on the table that was finally made, and the gun he leaned against the edge of the windowsill, he just wanted to cry now....Looking at the confused chairman, the secretary sighed, but they were grasshoppers on a rope. For the sake of his own life and his family, he still said patiently.

"Actually, things are far from that bad, the citizens are on our side, there are many veterans among them, and they hate the Willantes more than the Alliance, if we can unite them, maybe we will become a strong force."

"What's the use of uniting those people," Tauter felt irritated in his heart.

He knew better than anyone that those fellows were a rabble, and that he was afraid that at the first order of His Majesty, they would put themselves on the gallows. The secretary lowered his voice and continued.

"You have to give it a try...... The Willantes don't have many guns in their hands now, and the new Governor doesn't know anything about it, and they need our cooperation with them, both militarily and financially. As long as we make peace with them and use their power to balance the court, they may not mind that there are two kings in this kingdom, Tauter, who have calmed down. That's a really good idea.

The Civic Councils were representatives of all trades, and more than half of the city's handicrafts and industrial production were related to them), and the nobles could contribute at most a little food from their estates and land.

Unless the governor only wanted to be a big landowner, he wouldn't easily touch them for a group of nobles who had just met him.

The most important thing is that there is still a chance to live, and if he does nothing, he will definitely die. "Convene a meeting of all commissioners and delegates," the secretary breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes sir."

While the Civic Self-Government Committee was busy in its meetings, the town of Bicester, far away on the outskirts of the central part of Oasis No. 2, was also a lively scene. On the side of the road outside the east gate, Widelier hugged the cement pier next to the road, looked at the two soldiers walking towards him, snorted and said with tears.

"I'm not going anywhere! This is my home! I've dedicated my life to being here, and I'm going to stay here!" A tall soldier teased with a smile. "Wouldn't it be good to go back and be your baron," the other soldier said with a smile

"That is, don't you have a Zhuangzi? Go back and be your master. ”

However, what the two didn't expect was that Widelier's reaction was even more intense, and the crying voice carried a hint of begging

"I don't want it, I'd rather be a civilian" joked. How could he go back

Surrendering to the Alliance without resistance is already a capital offense, not to mention that he directly became a dog leg of the Alliance, and those who go back do not hate him. Especially the meaningful look in Prince William's eyes when he left

At that time, he only felt that the whole person had fallen into the ice cave, so frightened that he sent someone to Oasis No. 2 overnight to pick up his family.

If he had known that the Alliance was not going to occupy Oasis 2, he would never have licked it so hard. But who would have thought of such a thing

With the posture of the alliance, the Falcon Kingdom was almost razed to the ground!!

The two Alliance soldiers looked at each other, and felt that they still couldn't put him in a shame here, so they walked up and pulled him up. "Get up."

"You can keep it if you want, no one cares about you, but don't get in the way."

Widelier was overjoyed. "You're really not going to drive me away," the soldier gave him a disgusted look.

"The manager said, if you want to leave, go back by yourself, and if you want to stay, you can stay, that lord doesn't have time to care about you."

Hearing this, Widelier finally burst into tears and laughed, let go of the cement pier with a smile, patted his buttocks, and went back to town thankfully. Not far from where he had blocked the way, the officers of the Second Corps of the Union walked through the barbed wire fence to a group of prisoners sitting on the ground, took out their bullhorns and shouted loudly. "The war is over, you can go home." Centurion and above officers were released yesterday, and most of them had no idea of any ceasefire negotiations. People looked at each other at first, and then people got up one after another.

Some of them walked through the open gate to the west into the wilderness, and when they saw that the Union soldiers had not fired, they continued on their way.

There are fewer and fewer people in the open space. Environmental protection and health care

A large number of people chose to leave, but many others went in the opposite direction.

Several Falcon Kingdom soldiers walked up to the checkpoint, and one of them, a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, looked at the soldiers of the alliance and said, "I don't want to go back." The Coalition soldier looked at him. Why"

The new course is standard preparation

The boy hesitated.

"I have nowhere to go." The soldier continued. "What about your loved ones?"

The boy was silent for a moment and whispered.

"My father and my brother are gone, and last month..." Let me stay, I can work. ”

Before the young man's words fell, another hand was raised from behind him and he hurriedly spoke.

"And me, so do I...... I have a lot of strength to carry things."

"I used to farm! I can do farm work!" There was a chorus of echoing shouts behind him, and he was obviously not the only one who wanted to stay. Some of the people who had been hesitant to walk to the door also stopped unconsciously after hearing the movement over there. Although they didn't stay in the POW camp for long, if you think about it, the alliance gave them a good feeling.

They didn't whip them for fun because they had won, the only thing they were forced to do was to make them repair their shacks. To the surprise of the captives, the Coalition gave them some of the food they had stolen from the Willantes.

This is simply incredible in the eyes of many of them. The Willantes never treated them as human beings, and the nobles of the kingdom were the same, but in the prisoner of war camp, they unexpectedly became human beings for a few days.

Even though they knew that the enemy would be uneasy and well-intentioned to do so, the thought of the attitude of the nobles towards them made them feel hopeless about their life after returning. More and more people gathered around the checkpoints, and the soldiers on duty had to fire warning shots into the sky, while a sentry trotted to the commander for instructions. It didn't take long for a table to be added to the camp.

Vedlier, who had been snorting and tearing up, was seated at the table and shouted loudly with a loudspeaker. "If you don't want to leave, come here and register! I've figured it out before I write my name!" There was a long line at the table.

Some of the prisoners of war who had planned to leave hesitated for a moment, but eventually stayed, including some junior officers with the title of Captain of Ten.

In this way, by noon, the prisoners stranded near Bicester Town had been dismissed, and more than 80,000 soldiers were finally left behind, a total of more than 30,000 people...

Hearts of Steel.

Chu Guang, who was standing on the bridge, received a call from Liu Ding, the commander of the Second Corps stationed in Bicester Town. After listening to his report, Chu Guang's face couldn't help but feel a touch of surprise. "More than 30,000 people remained."

Originally, he expected that there would be about 10,000 people, but he didn't expect that there would be more than 30,000 people left! What made Chu Guang wonder was that he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't remember what he did to those prisoners of war. How inappropriate are the nobles of this Falcon Kingdom?

Including the engineers and their families taken by the Stormtroop from William's Industrial Zone, the population of Bicester is probably 40,000.

Although it will not have any impact in the short term, after all, the alliance has collected a lot of supplies from Fort Clarion and the front line, but in the long run, there will definitely be problems with the supply of food and fresh water there. Sensing the manager's embarrassment, Liu Ding asked in a deep voice. "Do you want to dispose of some of it?" "That's not necessary. Chu Guang coughed.

"If they want to stay, let them stay."

People have already volunteered to stay, and if he drives people away again, it will seem that he is stingy.

Moreover, Bicester Town, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Alliance, can be used as a banner of the Alliance in Luoxia Province, and if it develops well, it will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the image of the Alliance. The only problem is that it is all sand, there are no "embankments", there are no expensive strategic resources, and the only value is probably its location. If agriculture cannot be developed, then only industry can be developed.

The military production line that was removed from the Falcon Kingdom can be moved to Oasis 3 next door, which is the territory of the Honey Badger Kingdom. As for the civilian production line, some of it can be left in Bicester Town, where there is enough labor to do the work. At present, whether it is the Honey Badger Kingdom or the Falcon Kingdom, they are in urgent need of post-war reconstruction, and the demand for some industrial manufactured products is still not small, there are young laborers, and there are equipment needed for production, it may be a little difficult to make a fortune, but it should not be a big problem to support yourself.

“…!! Have the Lion Kingdom Army leave the surplus supplies behind before leaving, including food, fresh water, and clothing. Winter is coming soon, and the temperature in the desert is not low, so don't let people freeze to death. After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

"After that, I will appoint an official to serve as the local governor, and I will transfer a batch of supplies from Qingquan City. As for now, you first organize them into four construction corps and organize them to build houses for themselves to live in...... In short, don't let them be idle. Liu Ding put his right hand on his chest and replied straight. "Yes"

Considering that Liu Ding was a rough man and knew nothing about urban planning and management, Chu Guang patiently explained some details of the construction of the new settlement. For example, the center of the settlement is located to the east of the airport, for example, it is reserved for the development of commerce and industry, and so on.

The company's ideal group will provide technical support in the recovery of cement debris and the construction of roads, which do not need to be worried by the alliance. Chu Guang planned to set aside a foreign exchange budget of 100 million Cr, and when the governor of the alliance arrived, he would purchase equipment from Ideal City according to the actual needs of the local area. Shortly after he had finished explaining these things, the acting captain came up to him from outside the bridge and gave him a military salute. "Report! Up to now, all units have boarded the ship, the anchor chain has been stowed, and the ship is ready to leave at any time!" Very good. “

One last glance at the sun-drenched survivors' settlement outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a faint smile curled up at the corner of Chu Guang's mouth. It's finally time to say goodbye.

King Montgot and the nobles must have opened the champagne excitedly.

But they soon find out that they were rejoicing too soon.

Including the new Governor.

Those will soon find out the "surprises" that the alliance has left them

As for what this surprise will eventually turn out to become, it will take time to test······ After all, the people who live here have to decide their own fate.

For himself, the war in Rongxia Province has come to an end, and there are more important things waiting for him to do now. Retracting his gaze from the window, Chu Guang looked at the acting captain standing aside, "Let's go"

The captain gave a clean salute. "Yes"

Just as the Iron Heart was advancing towards the Great Desert, the Battlefield Atmosphere Group, which was far away in a pit in Far West City, also happened to be back on the line. Until the Iron Heart set sail, he didn't wait for the next instructions from the Administrator.

"Grandma's ...... Did these guys forget about Lao Tzu? The battlefield messenger who lifted his pants muttered a curse, pretended to press the button of the flush bucket, and walked outside.

Since Gritam's death, he has followed the 50,000-strong team all the way to Far West, located in the northwest of Oasis 2, to pass the time with the Willantes who are waiting to return home

With the ceasefire agreement in effect, the "Yellow Sands" expansion has officially come to an end, and the expansion pack rewards have been settled last night. Because of the heavyweight information provided before, he became the strongest individual total score in the expansion without any suspense! And it's 50,000 points ahead of the second place, but what's the use

Although I smoked a bunch of valuable treasures, no matter how good the equipment I drawn, I didn't have a chance to use it at all.

Several of his good brothers were afraid of wasting it and wanted to use it for him first, but he didn't think about it, so he refused without hesitation! Joke! That's the treasure he bought with his life, how could he let those dogs take it! If I really give it to my blackest grandson, I'm afraid that when he comes back, there won't even be any scum left.

Just as the battlefield guy was thinking about who to go to stay for a while, a familiar person not far away affected him. He looked up and saw that the man walking in the distance was his immediate boss———— Captain Richmond. The Battlefield didn't feel any surprises, only trouble. Lately, this guy has been getting close to him.

Maybe it's because he was too idle after the defeat, or maybe it's to show that he attaches great importance to himself, this person used to let his henchmen bring a message, but now he walks around his tent uninvited when he has nothing to do, which makes him very uncomfortable and annoying.

Obviously, it's the same this time, this guy is walking around again and asking for warmth. The Warfield even suspected that he had been waiting outside the pit for some time.

subtotal

Just when the battlefield guy was about to take the initiative to say a few words, Wei Liqi, who had walked closer, suddenly pulled him aside with a mysterious expression: "I have a good errand." What an errand?

Looking at the smiling General Verit, the edge paddled instinctively alerted in his heart. This battle is over, so I don't have to let myself assassinate anyone

However, just as he was thinking this, Wei Rich's next sentence made him stunned on the spot.

"In accordance with the ceasefire agreement, we will send two representatives to Vault 0 to investigate the fabled relic with the Corporation, the Academy, and the Alliance."

"The Governor nominated his descendant, Vali, the commander of a thousand to go. However, Vali is a career officer, and given the dangers he may encounter in the ruins, he needs a strong retinue to serve as a guard...... When I heard the Governor's request, I immediately thought of you. ”

As he spoke, Wei Rich stretched out his hand, patted the shoulder of the good pangolin comrade in front of him, and threw him an encouraging look with a smile. "This is not just my suggestion, General Ali is also very optimistic about your strength... Make the most of this opportunity.

"I'm optimistic about you"
