When Duanmuhuai and his entourage came to the city gate, the city finally opened the gate, hung up the white flag, and announced its surrender.

"You are ..............."

"I'm Adjutant General Kerim of Herman's Fourth Army."

Standing in front of Duanmu Huai, the blonde woman in black armor had a pale face, but she still maintained the dignity of a soldier.

"You ordered the surrender?"

"Yes."

Kerim bowed his head.

"We know that we are not opponents of the Inquisition, although in my position I may not say this, but ......... Please also raise your noble hand and let the people of this city go, they are innocent. ”

"Uh-huh..............."

Sitting in a chair, staring at Krim in front of him, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.

"Why did you choose to surrender? And not to run away? Isn't Ling the adjutant of the Fourth Legion? Wouldn't it be nice to find someone to be a scapegoat and run for your own life? ”

"Maybe that's ........."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Kerim showed a wry smile.

"As you say, but I don't want to see my men die for unjustified orders. Moreover, I am well aware that our Fourth Legion does not have the strength to stand up to the Inquisition. ”

"Good."

Hearing Kerim's answer, Duanmu Huai nodded with satisfaction.

"I can see that you are an understanding person, so I won't go around in circles, do you want to cooperate with our Inquisition?"

“…………… Cooperate? ”

I have to say that when he heard Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Kerim was stunned.

"Sorry, I don't understand what you mean........."

"You should understand why our Inquisition is here, the AL Sect and Herman have declared war on the Inquisition, since they think we are easy to bully, then let's show them that we are not easy to bully. However, the Inquisition does not intend to annex Herman, so we would like to be able to cooperate with you. ”

“…………… What do you mean........."

Hearing this, Kerim couldn't help but be stunned, she originally thought that since the Inquisition had captured this place, it would definitely be annexed. After all, war has always been like this. But Duanmu Huai said that the Inquisition did not intend to occupy Herman's land?

"The enemies of the Inquisition are the Oz Cult of the AL Sect, and the Prime Minister Stepser, who dares to join the Oz Sect and dare to provoke the majesty of the Inquisition......... I've heard that Chancellor Stirser seems to be in charge of Herman right now, right? ”

"That's right........."

Krim did not deny it, in fact almost all of Herman's top brass knew this, and the newly enthroned Emperor Sheila was a complete puppet, and even the government affairs were handled by Prime Minister Stirser. And there are also rumors that the prime minister has some kind of unclear relationship with Emperor Sheila's mother, Herman's queen mother......... Of course, this kind of family ugliness will not be publicized.

"I also know a little about Herman's current situation, and I don't think you seem to be that kind of loyal person, so I ask you, do you want to change Herman with us?"

“………………”

"The purpose of the Inquisition is simple, to completely eliminate the Oz Sect and Stirser and their remnants who dare to resist us, and it just so happens that the current Herman is not also tormented by this group of moths? There are resistance forces everywhere, do you want to join them? ”

"What do you mean, sir......... Want me to join forces with the Inquisition to eliminate Stether's party and assist the Emperor? ”

"Whether or not to assist the emperor is your own business, our Inquisition is just here to do what we should do, as long as you don't provoke the Inquisition, then how you change this country is your own business, it's as simple as that."

Duanmu Huai stared at Krim, whose face looked a little hesitant at the moment.

"But, but......... After all, we are the Fourth Legion loyal to the Empire, and we have rebelled rashly..............."

"Rebellion?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai smiled.

"No, Miss Krim, this is not a rebellion, this is the Qingjun side!"

“…………… Qingjun side?? ”

"That's right, Prime Minister Stirser's evil words confuse the public, control the country's politics, cause trouble to the country, and imprison the emperor, the crime is unforgivable. As a soldier loyal to the country and the emperor, you raised troops to go to the royal city, Qing Jun's side, and protect the imperial power, what is the crime? ”

“…………………？？？”

I have to say that when he heard this, Kerim was stunned, this usually moody and serious woman, at this moment, she even opened her mouth wide without grace.

This rebellion ......... What else can you say?

And......... How can he break what he said if he makes sense?!

"But, but, as long as the emperor comes forward to explain the situation........."

"Does it work?"

Duanmu Huai sneered and looked at Krim.

"As we all know, the emperor is a puppet, even if she comes out to explain, who will think that she really wants to say that? And not under the pressure of the prime minister? If you want to prove this, it is very simple, let the emperor order the chopping of Stether, the dissolution of the council, and the return of those lackeys of the council to their hometowns, this is the only way to explain the problem? ”

“…………………！”

Hearing this, Krim's body trembled, and the girls next to him also looked at him in surprise.

This trick is so ruthless!

Indeed, as Kerim said, Prime Minister Stirr was in power, and Emperor Sheila was his puppet. Even if he really made this slogan, as long as people asked the emperor to come out and say a few words, then there would be no righteousness on his side immediately.

But with a prerequisite, it's different!

It's useless for your emperor to just say it's useless, you want to prove that it's not, so you cut down Stiser. After all, the slogan refers to Stether's control of the country's politics, the chaos of the country, and the manipulation of the emperor. If your emperor wants to prove otherwise, he will cut down Stether and dissolve the council......... So what could Stether do?

He definitely doesn't want to!

If the emperor had the power, he would not have cut him down earlier?

So this is a dead end, unless Stieser changes his name and surname and escapes from Herman, there is only one way to get tough!

Not only that, but in this way, they are still famous!

On this continent, in fact, there are not no rebellions, but these rebellions either want independence from the country, or they want to overthrow the king himself. This kind of rebellion, if nothing else, is certainly morally unjustifiable. But as soon as Duanmuhuai, the "Qing monarch's side, punishing traitorous ministers, and protecting the imperial power" came out, it directly raised the rebellion to a new height!

Not only will they be able to stabilize the majority of the people, but they will probably even have a lot of troops loyal to the country join them!

After all, if you simply rebel, out of the idea of protecting your own country, many armies have to defend the country even if they are not used to seeing what the ruler does.

But it's a different story if you focus on a few specific characters!

We don't want to betray the country, we want to set things right, protect the imperial power, and reorganize the country!

Listen, as soon as these words come out, the righteousness is on the side of the rebels, you are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and you can't say it if you don't rebel!

Of course, this also depends on the country, a country like Seth, no one will believe it even if you say so——— after all, King Gandhi has such a big fist, who dares to mess with him and will be hammered to death.

Of course, in order to become famous, Duanmu Huai also made several requests to Kerim.

First of all, the name of this legion is King Qin, not rebellion.

Secondly, in order to make the division famous, everywhere he went, he must abide by the law and discipline, restrain his soldiers, and not carry out acts such as looting and bullying the citizens. Once discovered, no matter what status they have, they will be executed in public.

Naturally, Kerim would not object to this, as a woman, she also did not like the behavior of soldiers who raged and looted and bullied after the war, of course, this would lose a large number of soldiers. But fortunately, with the court on the side, the last thing to worry about is the frontal battlefield.

But Kerim has his own concerns.

"But in this case, there is ......... about military spending."

"It's simpler."

Regarding Krim's concerns, Duanmu Huai appeared quite calm.

"Stirser and his ilk control the country, and there must be many lackeys among them."

"Of course."

"Are there any of Stiser's lackeys and henchmen in this city?"

Kerim nodded.

"That's easy, get them out and raid the house. Food and everything was distributed to the civilians, and the rest was used for military expenses. As for the lackeys, the most heinous ones were put to death in public, and the others were either imprisoned or exiled. Of course, remember to catch the big and let go of the small, and don't just beat it to death with a stick. ”

Duanmu Huai gave an answer lightly.

"Hiss ..............."

Although Duanmu Huai's performance was very calm, the other people around him couldn't help but gasp when they heard Duanmu Huai's words. This trick is simply a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and it is black at home.

As Duanmu Huai said, if Stether's party can make waves in Herman, there must be many lackeys below, and they must have earned a lot of money and wealth by relying on Steather, rather than looting those civilians to provoke public anger, it is better to directly target these big fish. And this approach does not conflict with their slogan of King Qin at all——— after all, their goal is to fight against these chaotic parties that are causing trouble to the country, so it is only natural to crack down on the lackeys under Stirser!

In this way, the army has military spending, popular support, and stable morale, and the only loss is Steather and his lackeys.........

Blood is not a loss!

"I see."

Krim was able to be an adjutant at a young age, of course, her brain was bright, and at this moment she turned around in her mind, and after listening to Duanmu Huai's words, she had already made a decision.

"I'll do what you tell me to do."

"Well, I'll leave it to you, oh, and ..............."

While speaking, Duanmu Huai made a gesture, and soon saw a night guard walking over, holding a gray-faced man like a chicken in his hand——— looking at this face, Krim's complexion changed slightly, well, after all, for her, this face is very familiar.

"This guy wants to escape on horseback, and we caught him, so I'll leave it to you to deal with."

Duanmu Huai smiled, and then the night guard threw the guy to the ground, and at this moment the man raised his head, looked at Krim, and was immediately furious.

"Krim, what's going on? Didn't I want you to defend the city? How dare you surrender! You are simply a disgrace to the soldiers! Look at me, I won't put you on the spot to correct the Fa! ”

As he spoke, Nero got up from the ground, roared and threw himself at Krim. In the face of General Nero, who was rushing towards him, Kerim's expression remained unchanged, and he just stood there quietly. Then, the moment Nero rushed over, she clenched her fist and smashed it into Nero's face, then grabbed his outstretched arm and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder fall!

"Bang!!"

Nero collapsed to the ground, his eyes rolling and fainting, while Duanmu Huai looked at him amusedly.

"What are you going to do with him?"

"According to the military order, fleeing from the battle will be punished as treason, and beheading will be shown to the public."

"I'll leave it to you."

“……… Yes, sir. ”

Hearing this, Krim lowered her head and saluted Duanmu Huai again, and then she grabbed General Nero, who was like a dead dog, and turned away.
