Vitalite County is located on the west side of Kyoto in Saland, and the autumn Vitarit has a strong tropical atmosphere.

The gentle waves gently lap against the embankment, leaving a string of white splashes on the sea. The white sand beach is like a long white line, surrounded by a vast expanse of beautiful deep blue, and the sky here is also exceptionally blue and transparent, and the lonely pineapple trees and gum trees complement each other

Autumn is the most beautiful time of the year in Vitalit, where fruits, bananas and sugar cane are produced, are the most famous in Saland, in the years when there is no war, Vitarit is the most beautiful port city in Saland, in October every year, it is the season of tourists

Everywhere was crowded with frantic officers and men of the Salander army, all of whom were desperately snatching ships and trying to board merchant ships by all sorts of normal and irregular means in order to get out of this damned place, but there were still many city guards in the harbor who kept order, and they were not allowed to trample on each other in such a hurry.

In normal times, the city guards would never dare to compete with the regular army, but now, in the face of the shock of the overnight fall of Kyoto, and the news that the Vikia army is marching to several counties in the west, the native city guards can't control so much, and the retreating Kyoto army from the direction of Kyoto has already had many local riots

There were many soldiers who clashed with their companions when they fought for the place to get on the ship, and at first, it was limited to the scope of scolding each other, but as the scolding escalated, some people began to do it, and the consequences of doing it naturally had a victory or defeat, and unfortunately the people who fell behind began to use their guns, and the result was ...... From time to time, there was a chaotic noise on the dock, and many lazy soldiers who failed to rob fell directly into the sea, and most of the murderers were not pursued, so two or more lives were given up without hesitation at this time.

The panicked remnants of Salander's Kyoto army, no one seemed willing to ask who their executed or unfortunate companions were.

As long as there is a little space on the merchant ship, even if it is on a high mast, they will have to crowd up, even if the merchant ship has hoisted its sails and slowly left the port, they will hang on both sides of the merchant ship, and leave the port with the merchant ship, even if they may fall into the sea and drown alive on the way.

As more and more overburdened merchant ships slowly left, those poor city guards became scapegoats, and there was no way to crowd the remnants of the merchant ships in Kyoto, and vented their anger on the poor city guards, feeling that it was because of the city guards' obstruction that they did not have a chance to leave as much as possible.

The city guards, who were responsible for maintaining local law and order, refused to show weakness, and the two sides soon fought at the docks, and after all, there were only a few who did not squeeze onto the ships, and they quickly lost their advantage in front of the superior city guards, and the order to arrest the troublesome soldiers made the whole dock jump

"Well, the Wikibians haven't come yet, maybe we'll kill ourselves all."

Seeing the chaotic and fratricidal situation on the docks, some of the old Mamunouk knights couldn't help but sigh and said.They all closed their eyes, and couldn't bear to continue to see this tragic scene.How can it not be sighing that the once golden iron horse, the heroic and fearless army of Salander, has fallen into such a crazy self-destructive step?

The great drought that affected the entire Salander Island consumed the last resources of Salander Kyoto, for which the Kyoto army had to brave the danger of war with the Wiki people in the rain to march to the north

Overnight, Kyoto changed hands, such a blow for those who still fantasize about marching to the north of Kyoto people completely shocked, every day in fear and despair, hungry, unclothed, in the hope of one day to see Kyoto stand up again, but unexpectedly, this hope is like a blister under the morning sun, after giving people a burst of brilliant colorful hope, mercilessly turned into a puddle of water stains...,

Even the strongest people can't bear such a blow, and many Salander Kyoto soldiers even look forward to a fight, and then die directly on the battlefield but are happy

Otherwise, apart from killing and being killed, the soldiers of the Kyoto Army really couldn't find any other way to vent, and the great escape just now was not a time in this port, the ultimate goal of those ships was the port of Glay in the north of Salander, anyway, they were going to surrender, and most of the Salander Kyoto Army was still inclined to surrender to the Northern Army, at least in the hearts of the people of Kyoto, they still had a sense of identity with their compatriots in the north.

The number of ships that come to the shipping place is limited each time, and if you don't catch it this time, you will have to wait for 2 or even 4 days before the second batch of ships arrives.

Who knows what will happen in these two or even four days? No one knows, maybe the Vicchian people have already occupied Vitalit County by then, or maybe the Wecchian army that believes in blood for blood will start a massacre after a rage.

Now as long as you have the opportunity to leave this area early, your own life will be more secure.

In the distance, on a hill about two kilometers from the ocean, two lonely knights of Salander rode on their horses, looking at the somewhat chaotic sand, where there was constant noise and screams

Both of them looked indifferent, for this apocalyptic scene, they felt a little shocked at first, but after watching too much, they became numb, even if all the people on the beach died, they would not frown

One of the two Salander knights is named Morkadi, he is the commander of the 11th Mamunuk Knights of Salander, he has always been an outlier in Salander Kyoto, because the 11th Mamunouk Knights are mainly responsible for the defense of the western part of Kyoto, so they did not participate in the original war against the north, and their losses in the later siege of Kyoto were not large

He is a very cheerful young man, because he opposed the royal family's southern bill, so he was transferred to this idle area, although he is also the commander of a Mamunuk knight legion, but it is a typical surface light, in fact, the inside is a mess of the typical, compared with other main army of Mamunuk knights who have reached about 2,000 or 3,000, his 11th legion is only more than 400 people, most of them are the old, weak, sick and disabled eliminated from the main legions,

In the face of the panic of the Kyoto army, he took the initiative to stay in the last retreat.He is a good friend of Merseland, and this time he took the initiative to stay, most of the reason is to support the work of Merseland.The city guard currently maintained on the beach is subordinate to his 11th Knights,.

In fact, today's retreat scene has been calculated, because most of them are still maintained by the city guards after all, and have not yet developed to the step of collective firefight, in the afternoon, the most fierce fire fight is still inevitable to break out, the third Mamunuk legion and the seventh Mamunuk knight legion withdrawn from the direction of Kyoto appeared in this port almost at the same time, these two knights are the main force, and the number of Mamunuks with them is about 3,000, and it is not very harmonious in Kyoto, Plus most of the Mamunuks are grumpy warriors,

At the life-and-death juncture of the retreat, all the contradictions were like two colliding plates, and they suddenly broke out. In order to snatch the retreating ships, the two legions actually set up a military formation on the beach

, Morcady and Morse couldn't hold it down at all, and they didn't bother to play it until they were tired of fighting, and then they ended up on their own, and the beach was full of corpses.

"Why don't you go down and take a look?" Morse suddenly said with a disappointed face, "Why, you were once colleagues who fought together."

"Colleagues, Bosquez of the Third Legion and Tulati of the Seventh Legion, both of them are fierce generals under the command of the Fourth Prince, and they are comparable to my small second-rate legion commanders, and I am not qualified to call them colleagues," Morcady said coldly. With my identity, even if I go down, won't I be torn apart by them?"

"What is this," Morse sighed helplessly, and said obscurely, "The enemy has not yet arrived, and I will be like this first, and if I were a Wikibian, I would only advance one mile a day." In this way, there is no need to rush to the port, and the remaining number of these Kyoto troops is probably less than one-tenth...... At that time, the Vikia army didn't even need to collect the corpse, so they threw it directly into the seawater, and it was a hundred......"...,

Morcady looked at the sun, which seemed to be a little gloomy, in a confused expression, and said blankly, "Morse, do you think the northerners or the Wikibians will accept us if we choose to surrender?"

"Oh, I didn't expect that the iron-walled Morcady, who once dragged an entire Normandy army with 400 men, would have such an idea?" Merse next to him looked at his friend who had always been known for his stubbornness with a surprised face,

"Hehe, in the past, fighting with the Normans, although it was hard, but they were still able to unite as one, and after a crushing defeat, they still united because we believed that we would win one day, and our army would definitely fight back to the south, but now ......" Morcady shook his head with a wry smile on his mouth, pointing to the black spots fighting each other on the beach in the distance, "Look at it, that's what we call the spirit, the enemy hasn't seen it yet, just hearing some rumors and messing up,

Now I'm glad I didn't stay in Kyoto, otherwise, I would have chosen to commit suicide to maintain the last bit of dignity of the Mamunouk knights, I don't dare to say that the Vicchians will definitely annex Salander, but I know that if this continues, not only the kingdom, but all the Salanders will really perish,

"Yes, there is no hope for this country for a long time" Morse's voice was very heavy, and he said thoughtfully, "As far as I know, there are not many Vikian troops who raided Kyoto this time, and if we can stabilize our positions and gather the troops in the nearby areas, it is not without hope of counterattack, but now it seems that even His Royal Highness Fubaylou in Kyoto has given up hope, what do you say we are still holding on to here"

"He wanted to insist, but if the base camp was lost, Kulongze's besieging army would inevitably be greatly shaken because of this, and His Royal Highness was afraid that it would be difficult to protect himself at the moment."

The corners of Morcady's mouth pursed disdainfully, as a rookie who rose to prominence in the Normandy confrontation of Salander, he has always been difficult to be reused by the fourth prince,

Not only because one of his family members was once the concubine of the Sultan of Salander, but also because this guy's temper was too stubborn, as a high-ranking officer in charge of the army, when Faybaylau entered the military affairs of Salander with great prestige, when he urgently needed his subordinates to show his loyalty, this young young man who had just been promoted to the commander of the regiment and was less than half a month old still stood up stubbornly and said

"In the hearts of his subordinates, the orders of His Majesty the Sultan are supreme"

This sentence made him quickly become a marginal person who was excluded from the core, and if it weren't for his really outstanding ability, the fourth prince Forbay Lou might have removed him from his post long ago. In the end, considering his ability to be iron-clad, appointing him as the defense governor of Vitalit County, the western barrier of Kyoto, can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

"The loss of Kyoto, the whole country is shaken, I believe that the northerners will soon take a big counteroffensive, and now in this situation, where should you and I go?"

Morse's face was a little pale, his eyes flickered at Morcady, with melancholy and hesitation, and even a hint of hideousness, a hand had quietly sneaked out a sharp dagger from his waist,

He is the county warden of Vitalite County, and since Morcady took office, he has always had a good personal relationship with Morcady and is known as the twin sons of Vitalite, but at this critical moment, for the sake of the family, for the sake of the Salanders of all Vitalite County, a personal favor must be put down,

Morcadi's answer will determine whether he needs to launch this completely unexpected assassination,

Morcady is very good, otherwise it would be impossible to resist the attack of the Normans with 400 people, and in the face of the overwhelming Wikibians, no one dares to guarantee that the stubborn Morcadi will not choose to resist the entry of the Wikibians in a stupid way,

You know, this guy was a temper offender at the beginning, and he used 400 Mamunuc knights to block a corps of murderous Normandians, the Vicchian army has always pursued blood for blood, and now there have been rumors near Kyoto, and the defenders have fled before they have even engaged in battle

Morcady looked at his companion who was only one meter away from him with a slight expression, and didn't seem to notice the murderous intent condensed in the other party's gaze, his face was a little painful, and he said slowly and bitterly

"What else can I do If the other party is a brutal Norman, even if I shed the last drop of blood, I will never take a step back, but the other party is a Wikibian,...,

If you think about the fortified city of Leming, you will know that although I am powerful, I don't think that with the flat county of Vitalit, I will be able to resist the Wikibians, who are known as the number one attackers, and I should choose to surrender rather than drag more people to die in the end."

"You really decided to surrender" Morse's extremely nervous face finally relaxed, and the hand holding the dagger behind his back trembled slightly and immediately retracted the cuff of his shirt, at this moment, Merse felt like he was reincarnated in hell

"Yes, I've decided that I've heard that the Wikibians treat the northern region very well, much better than the Normans, the Germans, and the Raldians."

Morcady looked at the waves blowing with the sea breeze in the distance, and said with a calm expression

"Now there is a great drought on the island, the fields are barren, and the famine is all over the kingdom, if there is no successor with strong ability, I am afraid that it will be the disaster of extinction immediately, in comparison, the Wikibians have such strength and credibility, I heard that they have sheltered millions of people in Ruierdian on the other side of the continent, such a country should be a big tree to rely on"

"Morse I need you to help me do something" Morcady paused in his voice, turned his head to look at Morse, and said, "Since I want to show sincerity, I must send a person in charge of communication to Kyoto, and this task will determine the fate of us and the entire county of Vitalit, so I must let you go, because you are the only person I can trust the most"

"Don't worry, my friend, I'll go to this matter myself" Morcadi, who received Morcadi's response, shook Morcadi's hand excitedly

The goodwill from Vitalite County was quickly responded to by the Falcon Dynasty, and Statúenk sent a liaison officer to take over the Vitalite County, because the matter was very secretive, so only a few people knew the inside story, and the 11th Mamunuk Knights Regiment of Salander, who were originally stationed outside the city, were transferred into the city to assist the county guard of the city of Morse

After some covert scheduling, the smuggling ships that had originally gathered in the port soon received a warning from the Vichia Navy, and the ships that came were secretly replaced with transport ships under the special team of the Vekia privateer fleet, which was originally based on the standard of one person per 1 gold coin, and the price soared rapidly, and finally even reached the sky-high price of six gold coins and 1 person

Of course, the only one who can do this is the bold Dustrenke, these Salander troops are all wronged, and they are too sorry for themselves.

Faced with the collective increase in the price of transport ships, the Salanders had to give in after protesting for a while. There's no way around it.

The other side made it clear that they were taking advantage of the fire to rob, but what could they do? Who told them that their own ships were all sunk by the Vikchian Navy?

Not only that, but in order to be able to transport as many people as possible on each trip, the transport fleet has set very stringent conditions in order to reduce the weight of the transport site as much as possible.

The soldiers on board the ship are strictly required to carry only the most basic equipment, that is, a set of light armor and weapons, and all other equipment must be thrown away, even if you take it to the ship with great difficulty, it will be ruthlessly thrown away by the crew.

This stipulation aroused the resentment of the rebels gathered in the port, who felt that this was too unsafe, and besides, how could the dignified army of the kingdom be bullied by a group of sailors, and wanted to rise up and resist, and some even discussed preparing to seize the merchant ships on the way and take them for themselves

As a result, when I arrived at the merchant ship, I found that the merchant ship crew members who made some extra money on the privateer ship were not easy to mess with the landlords, and some of the crew members were even equipped with a large number of crossbow bows, which were simply a deadly weapon of death on the narrow deck of the ship, far better than the weapons and light armor in their hands

Later, when they came to the sea, Salander's army was saddened to find that they had boarded a thief ship, and every once in a while, a Vekia Navy warship, as if looking at the trophies, escorted the whole way next to the transport

Everywhere there are the legendary dragon tooth warships of the sea demons, with a hull like a multi-legged kraken, and a whole row of black holes and holes in the muzzles seem to say, "You have been captured"

If an abnormality is found on the ship, these escorting warships will immediately open fire on the cannon bombardment, and hundreds of Salander troops who tried to rob the merchant ships have suffered such a terrible fate.

The people of Salander sadly discovered how comical and insignificant their resistance was in the vast ocean, in front of this group of hungry wolf-like Vekia warships, as long as the other party was willing, they could even bury themselves completely in this bottomless seabed because of a sneeze or a slippery hand, and let themselves become food for all kinds of sea beasts

This horrific encounter was even written in the memoirs of a soldier who later became a writer, entitled "The Saddest Way of Captivity"

September, for Dustrenkay's privateering fleet, was a fat, bubbling season, like a hibernating bear, and the entire privateering fleet grew "fat"

With this fantastical method, Dustronche's privateer fleet captured a full 7,000 Salander soldiers and officers of all ranks.

Among these Salanders who found that they had inadvertently come up to the thief ship were the fourth prince of Fubaylou, who disguised himself as an ordinary officer and hurried to the northern port.

Upon discovering that there was no hope of escape, the fourth prince revealed himself to the privateer fleet and expressed his willingness to surrender to the Falcon Clan...... ，
