"Make changes?" Jessica was slightly startled.

Her hand was already touching the handle of the knife above the boot, but when she heard her father's words, she couldn't help but stop.

Let's listen to what my father has to say first.

"Yes, it's time to make a change."

The Marquis of Rivers stood up from the big chair slightly tiredly, with helplessness written on his face: "That's it, Jessica. I have decided to lead my family to surrender."

"Surrender?"

Jessica's expression did not fluctuate much, because this sentence was completely expected.

But...is His Highness Sean willing to accept their surrender?

She shook her head vigorously: "It's impossible, father. You have done so many wrong things, and it is impossible for His Highness Sean to forgive you!"

Jessica was a little desperate.

Sure enough, is the only way to keep the family alive is to kill your father?

Jessica's right hand touched the handle of the knife again.

.

Although the Marquis of the River didn't know what his daughter wanted to do, he had soaked in a pond called "Conspiracy" for many years and sensed that something was wrong.

So he immediately said: "Jessica, wait! When I say surrender, I don't mean surrender to Sean!"

"???Besides Sean, do we have anyone else to surrender to?"

Jessica was stunned by the confusing remarks of the Marquis of Rivers.

If you don't surrender to His Highness Sean, do you mean to surrender to Alexander Lane of Palomia? People probably don't want to talk to them.

"Our surrender target..." Marquis of River paused, and then said seriously: "The person we want to surrender to is the Archon of River Beach Town, Anduin, not Sean."

"Does this...does it make a difference?"

"Of course there is a difference!" Marquis River said while taking out the intelligence recently collected by the intelligence department:

"According to the information we have obtained, this priest named Anduin has high decision-making authority within Sean's force. He can make many major decisions by himself without consulting Sean at all.

For example, he used to be in charge of Hetan Town alone, and Sean had little to do with Hetan Town;

Recently, he has been recruiting and training troops in Port Kapur. He can fully control this army, but Sean is still on Rhode Island and has not returned.

For such a powerful guy, I guess he may have had the idea of ​​establishing his own independent force, but the time has not yet matured."

"You are overthinking it!"

Jessica questioned: "I don't think there is any conflict between him and Sean! On the contrary, they seem to get along quite harmoniously."

"It's all appearances, Jessica."

The Marquis of the River looked at his daughter with a "experienced" look:

"Anduin has too much power in Sean's forces. Facing such a powerful minister, it is difficult not to arouse the suspicion of the leader.

Sean is not a leader like Saint Alex Violet who crushes his subordinates in terms of strength. Sooner or later there will be conflicts between them."

Marquis River slowly walked to the window and looked out the window: "Even if there is no conflict between them, we can still find ways to create conflicts between them!

As long as there is a conflict between them, our family will still have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters!"

"Uh...you, what you said makes sense."

Jessica nodded,

If his father can succeed in estrangement, Anduin may reuse his family against Sean, giving them a chance to make a comeback.

Although the chance is not great, for the River Family in this situation, it may be the only chance!

So Jessica said goodbye to her father and left the Marquis of the River's study.

As for the plan to assassinate his father, it has been completely forgotten.

.

.

After making the decision to surrender, the Marquis of Rivers did not hesitate.

He immediately ordered his subordinates to rush out a notice of "surrender to Anduin" and posted it at every important intersection in Yonn City.

These announcements naturally caused an uproar in the city of Jon.

Soon, the news that "the Marquis of Rivers announced unconditional surrender" spread throughout the city of Yohn.

The residents of the city were extremely happy and immediately organized carnival parades and celebration parties. Laughter filled every corner of the city of Yohn;

The nobles are more worried, and they are more afraid of what special means Sean will use to deal with them.

They knew that Sean had adopted a very low tax rate in the territory, but they didn't know whether this would affect them;

There are also some insignificant organizations left, such as magic guilds and other organizations.

In short, the people of Jon have become extremely restless.

.

At the same time, the Marquis of Rivers also sent a messenger, riding the fastest horse in the city, to deliver the "request for surrender" document to Anduin who was in Capul Port.

Moreover, the Marquis of the River specifically stated that it must be handed over to Anduin before Sean returned to Port Capul.

Of course the messenger did not dare to slack off and concentrated on his journey the whole time.

The city of Jorn is about 200 kilometers away from Port Kapur, and there are obstacles in the way of mountains and rivers.

It took the envoy only half a day to reach Kapur Port. The tired horses were all fat and it would take many days to recover.

.

At this time, Anduin was discussing the improvement of [Explosive Crystal] with [Shadow Jeweler Hanal] in the Artisans Guild.

After all, the number of Warcraft magic cores is scarce and the price fluctuates greatly. If alternative resources can be found, more chips can be prepared for war in the future.

At this moment, a [Silver Hand recruit] came in and saluted Anduin:

"Your Majesty the Consul, the envoy from the Marquis of Rivers has arrived at Kapur Port, saying that they have announced their formal surrender and will hand over the document of surrender to you."

"Wow, the Marquis of Rivers surrendered?" Anduin was extremely surprised.

But in an instant, he felt bored again: "It's boring. Originally, I wanted to experiment with the application of the 'Magic Crystal Cannon' in siege warfare. I didn't expect that they surrendered so quickly without even giving them a chance to use it."

As he spoke, Anduin stood up from his seat and said to the recruit in front of him: "Please bring the envoy to the hall of the Artisans Guild, and I will receive him there."

"Okay, Lord Anduin." The Silver Hand recruit took the order.

.

More than ten minutes later, Anduin saw the envoy in the hall.

This envoy is a guard of the Hehe family. He is a pretty good-looking young man, but his face is a little pale because he has been traveling for a long time.

The envoy had seen Anduin's portrait and immediately recognized the handsome man in front of him as Anduin.

So the envoy immediately took off his backpack, took out the documents inside, walked to Anduin, knelt down on one knee, and handed the surrender document to Anduin.

"Lord Anduin, this is a surrender document signed by my master Mason River. We are willing to surrender to you and join your army to serve you for life.
