A day later, Marek's Correa formally surrendered to the Second Legion of the Holy Army, and a group of high-ranking officers arrived at the Holy Army barracks and officially presented the flag and Marek's sword to Hortz.

Hortz accepted the surrender of the other party, but he also deeply regretted Malek's suicide, as a general who was also in charge of a heavy army, Hortz understood Malek's plight very well, and he was also glad that he chose to follow Salein, who would never let his men go down such a desperate path.

The next thing is to rectify the matter of surrendering troops, surrendering 20,000 or 30,000 people at once, how to deal with so many surrenders is a big problem, and this also involves the situation in Correa, Hortz did not dare to call the shots, so he truthfully reported the situation to Savan, and let Savin decide how to deal with these surrenders.

In fact, Savin is also very troubled by these surrenders, the current situation in Correa is still unclear, and it is definitely not possible to put these surrenders back, which will only make the situation more chaotic, but it is not a way to stay in Pesanese, who will feed them with so many people. Savin also thought about incorporating them into the Holy Army, but these Correans had just surrendered, and their hearts were not truly converted, and staying in the Holy Army would become a burden.

After thinking about it, Sawin finally decided to send these troops to Thor Island for the time being, so that they could help develop the island, and wait for the situation in Correa to become clear. So these surrendered Correa troops were sent to Thunder Island in batches by Savin through the teleportation shaft, and when these soldiers learned that they were sent to the place where the wild people lived, they were so frightened that they almost mutinied, but fortunately they were suppressed by the Holy Cult Army in time.

When they saw the situation on the island with their own eyes, all the Correa soldiers almost dropped their eyeballs, and they couldn't believe that the legendary wildlings could be like this. I saw that the savages were wearing similar clothes to them, doing the same work as ordinary people, and even their speaking accents were similar to those on the mainland.

So these soldiers stayed on Thor's Island with peace of mind, although the conditions here are still relatively difficult, but the distance from the noisy society here gives these people an excellent opportunity to recuperate physically and mentally. If they returned to Correa, they didn't know how many eyes they would suffer, and no one would look down on them here, and the savages would not ask about their past, which made the soldiers a little glad in their hearts that they had been sent to this desolate place.

At this time, Correa's troops sent to Pesanis had been completely wiped out, and this part of the army led by Marek surrendered to the Holy Army, and the armies of several major families also secretly reached an agreement with the Holy Army, and they decided to join the Holy Army in the name of their family and become part of the Holy Army.

According to the requirements of the Holy Cult, the leaders of several major families held an oath ceremony in the Great Chapel of Salem City, which was the usual method of Savan, as long as they took the oath in front of everyone, they would not be able to repent. Although the leaders of several major families were reluctant in their hearts, they could only honestly complete the oath according to Savan's request under the roof.

After the ceremony, Savin sent the armies of several major families back to Correa, and now the situation in Correa is chaotic, so letting them go back can end this chaotic situation as soon as possible, and at the same time play a role in balancing the Elshira family, Sawan doesn't want Correa to become the territory of the Elshira family, which will only create a stronger opponent.

Going back to Correa, since the Holy Cult Army attacked the royal capital, King Correa has fallen into extreme anger and impatience, and almost every day he scolds his ministers to the blood. Although he had already sent someone to give an order, asking Marek to lead the army back to the royal capital in time, he waited left and right, but there was no trace of reinforcements.

Not only was Marek's army gone, but the lords of all parts of the country were also reluctant to come to King Qin, which made King Correa almost mad with anger, and he kept cursing these lords in his heart, as if they were more hateful than the Holy Cult army.

In fact, this can't be blamed on the local lords at all, because Correa has always been dominated by the king and several major families, and the strength of these minor lords is quite limited. Coupled with the lack of unified command and coordination, the Elshira family relied on a small number of cavalry to constantly roam around the royal capital, and once they found the lord army of King Qin, they immediately attacked head-on, so many of the troops who came to King Qin were severely damaged.

And those troops who had not yet arrived did not dare to come again when they heard the news, and no one had so many troops for the Elshira family to kill. In fact, if these Qinwang troops can be unified, they will also be a large force, but because of the lack of coordination and command, they will be wiped out by the Elshira army separately.

Unfortunately, these circumstances were not known to King Correa, who only said that these lords lacked loyalty and refused to come to King Qin, so they could only sulk behind closed doors, and even had deep doubts about the ministers around him, could these ministers also have two hearts, on the one hand, pretending to be loyal, and on the other hand, secretly making other calculations......

The gap between the kings and the vassals increased day by day, making the situation in Solandaniel increasingly difficult, while the other side of the city took on a completely different picture. In the southern city of the Holy Cult Army, they sent a large number of people to visit the civilian areas, and constantly preached the benefits of converting to the Holy Religion of Light, attracting a large number of civilians to become believers in just a few days.

Compared to the tense atmosphere in the northern city, the southern city seemed much more relaxed, and the people did not feel that they were going through a hard war, but rather a sense of liberation. Without the oppression of the nobles and the exploitation of the officials, life is more comfortable, and many people do not regard the Holy Religious Army as an intruder, but as the person who rescues them, if someone says something bad about the Holy Religious Army, it will immediately attract severe reprimands from the people around them.

Many people are talking in private: "If I knew this was the case, we should have let the Holy Cult Army liberate us earlier......"

Not only did the church quickly increase the number of believers, but even the Holy Religious Army also replenished many people, although these civilians had little combat experience, but they were okay to fight and be responsible for patrols and law and order. As a result, Nancheng became orderly, and the law and order situation was even better than before the war.

The two sides were in such a stalemate for more than 20 days, and on this day, flags suddenly fluttered outside the city, and the flying dust could be seen from miles away. The sentinels on both sides who were watching the city saw the situation at the same time, and they both went to report it with joy.

"Your Majesty, it's great! The army for help has finally arrived!" the soldiers excitedly reported the situation to the king.

When King Correa heard this, he slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "Marek is finally here!

At the same time, the officers of the Holy Cult Army also learned of the situation, and they said happily: "Great! The Elshira Army has finally arrived! Our mission has been successfully accomplished!"

In Solandaniel, the northern and southern cities shouted excitedly at the same time, both celebrating that the situation of one city and two lords was about to change. After the celebration, the two sides moved at the same time, and the Holy Army issued an urgent ******, and the whole army was ready to cooperate with the Elsira Army to launch an all-out attack on King Correa tonight.

The king, for his part, immediately ordered to open the city gates to welcome the arrival of reinforcements, and once the reinforcements arrived, he immediately launched a general attack on the Holy Cult army in the southern city and drove them out of Solandaniel completely.

It was almost dusk, and the dusty army finally came to the city of Solandaniel, only to see countless flags fluttering in the wind, the knights on horseback with resolute expressions, and the solemn atmosphere made people feel that there would be a bloody battle next, and the whole city seemed to feel that it would be an extremely chaotic night.

Both nobles and commoners hid back in their homes early, closed their doors and windows one after another, and then tightly held them with things, completely isolating everything outside from the doors and windows......
