On the second day, Anka sat outside early and stared at the city in front of him.

The quartermaster approached and said, "The reinforcements from behind have arrived, and the siege equipment you need has been placed on the fastest carriage and will be ready to come in the afternoon, and our scouts found that a group of people ran out of the gate on the other side of the city last night." ”

"Don't worry about those people, go get ready for the fortifications!"

"Do you think those siege engines can really break through the gates?"

"I never said that I wanted to breach the city gates, I just needed soldiers to be able to safely step on the walls, and the purpose of the siege machine was only to destroy those mirrors as much as possible."

"I'm sorry to question it, but will it really work?"

"Unless they actually use that artifact, these well-known imitations alone will never be able to stop us."

As the two were talking, the gate on the opposite side opened slightly, and out of it came several soldiers and a richly dressed Kalan in the middle of the surrounding.

They set up tea and tables in the clearing, and sent a cavalryman to take off his armor and invite Anka.

The cavalry stood at the gate of the camp and shouted, "We are going to negotiate, and your leaders here are coming out quickly." ”

Ankh got up slowly and said, "I'll go alone, let the catapult keep aiming!" If they dare to do something out of line, stone them to death. ”

Ankh followed the cavalry to the tent, and when he sat down, the Karan took off his veil and revealed his fair face, and met Ankh with very large eyes.

Ankha looked unconcerned and asked, "Is there anything to talk about?" ”

What Ankka didn't expect was that the other party bowed his head humbly and said: "I'm very sorry that our presence has hindered your ability to unify the Cades, we are just some scholars, please allow us to leave, we are willing to hand over the Wheel City in its entirety." ”

Ankh waved his hand and said, "I know what you're experimenting with, and I know what you're trying to do, and I don't believe you're going to surrender to me." ”

After taking a drink, she said: "Please don't be aggressive, I have heard that you are the king of the Cades, so you should have the bearing and demeanor of a king, you have fought with my sister, I know about you from her letters, you are a great man like a demigod, like the holy woman of Sanssa, why should you be merciful and kill us?" ”

"Hehe, if you want me to be merciful, then are you merciful? Yesterday I saw with my own eyes that you were experimenting with the Cades. ”

"It was to advance science and medicine, and their sacrifice was noble."

Ankka stood up angrily and stared at her angrily, and said angrily, "You people who think you are superior have never thought that the Kades are equal to you, and you must be negotiating with us now for your own insidious tricks." ”

The woman smiled calmly and said: "Of course we are equal, you don't have to bother to perform for those lowly things, you can completely remove your disguise, there are no outsiders here only us as the ruling class." ”

"I'm not like you."

"You are the strongest warlord of Cardus, you have formed an alliance with Caldara, if you are in control of the plains where Sunring City and Moonlight City are located, then you can further control the most important rivers in Cardus, so it must be a matter of time before you unify Cardus, after unifying Cardus, are you not the ruler of the Eight Classics? The only king of the Cades. ”

Ankh angrily asked, "Do you have the same attitude towards the people in your own country?" ”

"Why not? Our rulers are a family, and those lowly commoners are nothing, but what kind of people are they, and for us, aren't they all parts of the huge state apparatus ready to replace? ”

"Hmph, aren't you afraid that you will become a prisoner of the civilians who overthrew you after being overthrown?"

The woman drank her drink and said calmly: "How normal is the change of dynasty, I was ready to die in court infighting and slave revolt when I was born, but believe me, Mr. Anka, no matter how beautiful they are, they will become the same as the old rulers when they sit on the throne of the ruler, and they will also give up their former beliefs and become slaves to their desires and royal power, just like me and other rulers. ”

Ankha leaned back in her chair and said, "What's the use of you telling me this?" ”

"It's just a small talk, as long as you promise not to hurt us, you can get the complete Rilun City and its 800,000 inhabitants."

The woman looked at Anka, who was constantly struggling to think, and said with a smile, "Why are you so entangled? It's simple: face your legion and declare that you have given up attacking us, the Karans, and you can get the city of Rilun. ”

Ankh thought to himself, "If I really did this, then I should just make a concession for the sake of the battlefield situation, just let them go!" So I don't even have a loss, what am I struggling with? ”

The woman seemed to see Anka's tangle, and reached out and said, "Please tie me up and bring me back to declare that you have conquered this place." ”

Anka thought for a while and then did so, then he returned to the camp with the woman and announced loudly, "We have the city of Rilun." ”

The quartermaster stepped forward and asked, "Really?" ”

"Hmm."

"Shall you go into town now?"

"Let the pioneers of atonement advance into the city."

After the army came to the city gates and let the vanguard rush in, the others stood to accept the surrender of the enemy troops who came out of it.

The woman said, "You can let me go." ”

Ankha let go of his hand and said, "This is just a concession I made to avoid paying more casualties, you surrendered and I should have captured you." ”

The woman smiled and said, "That's how war is!" No matter how much fuel is consumed, we rulers will not have any problems, even if we are caught, we will be safe, if one ruler is killed, won't the other rulers target that foul guy? ”

Ankha said: "I will not be like you, I will not rule anyone, I will just save them and protect them. ”

"Is there a real difference just because the name is different? You oppose the colonization of the Cades, but what would you say if the Cades colonized the Kallands? You are not as hypocritical as the tyrants who claim to be the messenger of peace and cut off the heads of enemy children with their swords. ”

Ankh said, "You've surrendered, go!" I'm not going to catch you, but only this once. ”

"Is it really only once? I'm guessing we'll meet soon, but you'll be talking to me about how to sell everything on the Cades for a good price. ”

"I'm not going to betray Cardus."

"Really? Then even if you form an alliance with Santa Seca and Caldara, you will not be able to build some important factories and goods on your own, and you will still have to rely on external forces, such as the important steel mills, you can go to Caldara, but can you be sure that he will not ask you to sell Cardera? ”

"What do you mean by saying so much?"

"Accept who you are! We're the same kind, and when the time comes, we can ally with you and we can make you cheaper in terms of construction, and then we can toast with a beautiful glass full of precious wine, wouldn't that be good? You only need to sell us a part of the benefits of the Cades, you can make the Cades unification quickly, and you can also get the export dumping opportunities of the factories and your own goods. ”

"Wine? I think it's the blood of countless laborers! I'm not going to betray the interests of Carders, get out of here! Next time I'll catch you and let you experience what it's like to be a prisoner. ”

Before the woman rode away, she said, "You will definitely come to us after the unification of the Cades, and I bet that will happen." ”

After the woman left, Ankh sat on the stone tiredly, thinking about what he would do to unify the Cades so that the Cades would be independent and not controlled by other countries in various ways.

The quartermaster leaned over and asked, "What is Lord Anka thinking?" ”

Ankh was interrupted for a moment and said, "Nothing." ”

The quartermaster asked adoringly, "How did you manage to get her to surrender?" ”

"She offered to surrender, as long as she promised not to hurt them."

"Then they must have succumbed to your power, you are so strong that I can't even praise you."

"You don't need to overcredit me, let's clean up this place and wait for the follow-up troops and march towards Moonlight City!"

"Yes, I'll go get ready."
