In this way, while the army of the Hereford family was preparing in an orderly manner, and at the same time as the final blow of the enemy, a white flag was displayed on the opposite side, and then, General Franz, who was expressionless, and Archduke Charles, who seemed to be frightened enough, stepped forward, rode on, and walked over without a single attendant.

"What does the enemy want to do, surrender?" said William, feeling a little dissatisfied. At the same time, however, he knew that attacking the Emissary in such a situation, and continuing to attack, would deal a major blow to his prestige. In this case, albeit reluctantly, he had to give the order to stop the shelling.

However, preparations for everything other than shelling continued. The artillery was still trying to move forward, and the cavalry was still roundabout and arrayed. At the same time, those combat sappers who served as assault troops, as well as a total of five regiments, which were used as infantry in the second echelon, were already in place. Just a little longer, all the preparations will be done. Then, with William's command, this army can launch a general attack and completely destroy the remnants of the poor Imperial army.

It was under this circumstance that General Franz and Archduke Charles entered the ranks of the Hereford family.

The layers of sturdy knights, the fierce sappers with grenades in their hands, pistols at their waists, and fierce eyes. The clusters of infantry in a tight array with their bayonets gleaming, the artillery pieces large and small, reflecting a metallic sheen in the sun...... The piles and piles made Archduke Charles feel terrified. Now, he was afraid of this terrible family. In his mind, the rumors he had heard before about how the Hereford family fought bravely and so well merged with the current mirror image and became a nightmare rooted in his heart.

"In the future, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely no enemies of the Hereford family!" Archduke Charles swore almost countless times. At the same time, he continued to look at General Franz beside him with jealous eyes.

Unlike Archduke Charles's rather embarrassing performance, General Franz was expressionless and did not show the slightest hint of fear. He just looked at the army of the Hereford family as if it were nothing, and walked forward without squinting.

This made Archduke Charles feel ashamed of himself. At the same time, it also deepened the jealousy of him.

That's it, the two were brought to William, who was guarded by layers. And to be on the safe side, they handed over their swords. Originally, the guards also wanted strict body searches. But General Franz looked at him with murderous eyes and declared loudly:

"We are the emissaries of the Emperor on behalf of the Emperor. At the same time, we are the nobles of the Empire! We must not be insulted like this in any case! If you think you have won this war, you can do whatever you want, just kill us. But then the whole world will know what the members of the Hereford family are!"

After hearing this, everyone present glared angrily at General Franz. Quite a few people couldn't help but draw their swords. Or maybe they raised their bayonets and pointed them at him.

Beside him, Archduke Charles was sweating profusely, and he wanted to shout at General Franz to stop acting rashly and ruining this peace talk. He even felt that this guy was saying such things now, just to drag him to death. Fulfill his reputation, and then let yourself be a foil.

Unfortunately, however, this calculation is wrong.

The surrounding guards looked at each other, and then they were all a little overwhelmed, they had not received similar forecasts and had not been trained to do so. So at this moment, they don't know what to do.

It was at this time that William's calm voice came from behind them: "Let them come." William said calmly, "Respectfully, my friends, this is one of the best generals in the Empire, the respected Count Franz, and the most trusted right-hand man of His Majesty Emperor Khalman IV." It's not something that ordinary people can insult. ”

Although what William said was a compliment, but when he said it in this situation, he had to give people a sense of sarcasm and sarcasm.

General Franz only felt that what Wilhelm said was very harsh, but there was nothing he could do. He calmly walked towards William, trying to relax himself and not think about anything. Then, under the escort of a group of eyeing guards, came to the young prince of excess.

"I have seen you, great prince. General Franz gave him a deep salute. Then, Wilhelm paused for a moment, and only spoke when the other party's mood was a little bumpy: "Don't be so polite, General Franz. I didn't see in the previous meeting that you were so weak. ”

"......" General Franz did not continue on this topic, did not argue, and silently endured this insult.

"Who, then, is this Highness? Won't you introduce me, General Franz?" William then looked at Archduke Charles, who looked a little cowering beside him.

"The heir to the empire. General Franz calmly said: "Archduke Charles of the Swabian family." ”

"Oh, that's rude. William said calmly. Although he said things like "what a faux pas", he didn't even bend down or even nod a nod. In his own way, he expressed his dissatisfaction and ridicule to the people for His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Well, that's all for the polite words. William then said impatiently, "What did His Majesty the Emperor do when he sent you?

"-No, you're mistaken. Before William's words could be finished, General Franz had already interrupted him. Under the disgruntled gaze of William, and the astonished, frightened gaze of Archduke Charles, General Franz said calmly: "You are a vassal of the empire, and you have never heard of an emperor surrendering to a prince. You have to remember who you are, William from House Hereford, you are still a vassal of the Empire. ”

"I thought that His Majesty the Emperor no longer recognized this?" William's mouth turned up, revealing a mocking smile: "What did His Majesty the Emperor say before?" Let me think about it...... Well, by the way, traitor, yes. He called me a rebel of the Empire and considered me a disgrace to the Empire. At that time, he had never recognized me as part of the Empire. ”

"That's all a misunderstanding. ”

William's words made General Franz a little red-faced. Thinking about what he had said before, and looking at the current situation, General Franz had the urge to find a crack in the ground to get into.

“...... Well, even so. William was a little apprehensive: "Since you are not here to surrender, then what are you here for...... Forget it, whatever, whatever you do, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Your Highness?!" General Franz was really surprised this time.

"It's not that I don't want you to finish your sentence. Wilhelm didn't care what General Franz meant, but he continued to say to himself: "Because even if he finishes speaking, it doesn't make any sense." Yes, that's it, it doesn't make sense. The war has developed to this stage, to this point. So there's no point in saying anything else. ”

Word for word, he said: "I do not accept any outcome other than unconditional surrender. So, you can leave now, General, and bring my words to the Emperor. Let's just say that the rebellion of the empire is rebellion, because it is rebellion, so it is naturally very narrow-minded, let him apologize to me, admit his mistakes to me, and then disarm everything. After this, surrender to me. Then we can talk about something else......

Of course, he can also reject me. If that's the case, then I'll have to wipe out the last bit of the 'Empire's army. General Franz, you should know, I do what I do, I do what I say. ”

“...... Yes, perhaps. General Franz sighed, then spread his hands and continued: "Then, I want to say one last word to His Highness." ”

"The last sentence?" William was a little surprised, "so be it, although I don't think there's anything left between us to say about it." ”

"No, there are others, there are others. A strange smile appeared on General Franz's face: "Your Highness, allow me to come closer, I want to tell you a secret." Maybe after hearing this secret, you will change your mind......"

"Oh......?" William was a little surprised, "Although...... Forget it, this is my respect for you, and my respect for an old nobleman and general of high moral character. General Franz, please come forward and tell me this secret. ”

"Of course, of course. I will. General Franz nodded, and then approached Wright, with a calm, confident, innocuous smile. At the same time, he paid tribute to the guards beside William, as well as the Duchess Freya, who had been following him. His attitude made everyone around him feel good.

"So, General. ”

"All I have to say is ......" General Franz deliberately lowered his voice so that Wilhelm could not hear clearly. And after this, William frowned: "General, can you be louder?" he said as he subconsciously approached General Franz - and then there was a cry of exclamation from the people around him - Franz took a dagger from his bosom and stabbed it at William......
