Chapter 358: Phoenix Elegy (Part 1)

Outside the City of Mars, in the Phoenix Rebel camp, the tent of the chief general was brightly lit. The personal soldiers were nervously guarding the situation on the periphery. The enemy's strength was not a question of whether they could defeat the City of Mars, but when will the enemy launch a counterattack?

The rebels were very passive, and there was no big city to go north and there was no support. Going south to join the war in Sun City is equivalent to discarding the entire north.

The tent was also very chaotic. This rebel was gathered by hundreds of nobles. It was originally intended to conquer the city of Mars, stabilize the north, and support the city of Sun.

In the tent, more than a dozen of the most powerful nobles were frowning. There were three sheets of paper on the table, but these three sheets were carried by the pigeons shot by intermediate archers in the army.

The note said the same content, and the nobles were worried because of these three notes.

The carrier pigeon flew to Mars City, and the content was to inform the head coach of Mars City that the Kingdom of Metatlin and Kushui County had formed an alliance, and the troops of both sides advanced and retreated together. In the north of Phoenix, the Kingdom of Metatlin is temporarily dominated by the Kingdom of Metatlin.

Before this rebels attacked Mars City, Salin and Rex had not formed an alliance, so the news was very shocking. The substantial alliance and verbal friendship were very different. With this covenant, no matter how far away the Kushui County State was, he would not worry about this city because the Metatrium Kingdom was too close.

The tent is mainly one count, and the others are viscounts. The Grand Duke of Phoenix has the right to reward nobles, but the highest is the viscount. The earl is still hereditary. His ancestors worked in the army of Holy Rock City, and later became a Phoenix nobleman, and the title has been passed down. The other viscounts were titles obtained from Sun City.

The viscounts all looked at the Count, and the Count was stunned. He was not a fool, and understood the meaning of this covenant. Now the Metatterin can come to Phoenix blatantly, because the 5,000 troops of Rex were allies. When the army of Kushui County was attacked, it was equivalent to declaring war on Metatterin.

At this time, soldiers outside the tent came in to report that Mars City sent people to deliver letters.

The person who delivered the letter was an indigenous person from Mars City. The man was left outside and the letter was taken to the big tent. The count opened it and saw his hands trembling.

He is not afraid, but angry.

The other party persuaded surrender and spoke very stiffly. If he did not surrender, the army in Mars City would not retain prisoners of war.

"Sir, what is written in the letter?" The nobles around him looked ugly when the count looked at the earl's face and couldn't help asking. The count thought for a while and still circulated the letter to everyone.

After reading the letter, the nobles reacted in a different way, but everyone's expressions were shaken.

The army in Mars City has extremely strong combat effectiveness. After several contacts, the Phoenix rebels have not gained an advantage. Now even the enemy's troops exceed their own. This letter is not an insult.

This is a naked threat, warning.

The count saw it and sighed, "What do you think?"

"Of course, it's a fight to the end!" a marquis said indignantly.

"Haha, the battle is death. Don't hold on. The Metatrilines are so cruel. You have all heard that the Holy See's 100,000 expeditionary forces, for some reason, did not survive, and were all massacred by the Metatrilines." The Count's tone was low, and he continued: "I have five thousand soldiers under my command, and decided to withdraw from the battle. If you object, you can attack me now."

The nobles were stunned, but they heard the count continue, "Metatriline and Kushui County are unstoppable. Holy Rock City must have recognized their status. It is better for us to surrender to Metatriline than to surrender to Holy Rock City. There is only a short peace between them. Sooner or later, we will take back our land."

"But, Lord Earl, will we surrender be gone? The Metatrilians want land!"

The Count glanced at the talking nobleman and said, "But can we get everything back in our current battle? After surrender, we can start over. I heard that the king of Metatriline has accommodated many Phoenix nobles and Galloran nobles. Although these nobles have no land for the time being, their private property and even soldiers are protected."

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, the count said again: "A lot of the troops entering Mars City during the day are the original Phoenix noble army. Have you not seen it? Why did they go on the battle and why they come to fight us? It is because as long as they win, they can obtain land."

The nobles lowered their heads, and the count said again: "It's not that we are not loyal, but the old duke is dead, and the little duke is dead. How old is the new grand duke left to us by Holy Rock City? Is it unclear whether Phoenix's bloodline? Who are we loyal to? The Phoenix family is almost dead now. Holy Rock City is cruel and ruthless. The Phoenix bloodline that can survive has long been their slaves. Do you still care about our loyalty?"

The Count continued to bewitch: "We join the Kingdom of Metatrim, and we are the founding nobles. We still have an army now, and King Metatrim will never refuse us. Giving us the corresponding status will make the nobles in the north tempo. If we fight to the end, what can we get?"

"Sir Earl, Phoenix, is it really done?" A viscount asked. After he said this, he suddenly choked up. The nobles around him were affected and could not help crying.

They gathered all their wealth and soldiers, and wanted to respond to Sun City because they were unwilling to accept that Phoenix's thousand-year glory would end.

Although Phoenix is ​​a vassal state of Qin Yin, it is a legendary country. The earliest Grand Duke of Phoenix was once a magnificent figure.

Only the Qinin Empire had two huge priests, because the original Grand Duke of Phoenix was really too dazzling. If it weren't for the founding emperor, Grand Duke of Phoenix might even establish an dynasty.

After the establishment of the Principality of Phoenix, Qin Yin's army never appeared on the land of Phoenix again. Except for the hereditary nobles, the other nobles of Phoenix were all locals and were also rewarded by the Grand Duke of Phoenix from generation to generation.

These nobles were unwilling to give up, so they had this rebellion.

"The glory will end one day." The Count said painfully: "Phoenix is ​​over, and we can never find the blood of the Grand Duke again. Holy Rock City just wants to take back all the land, use our leaders to fight and sacrifice. However, we still have a way to resist and join the Kingdom of Metathrin!"

The Count's voice suddenly rose and said to everyone: "The only requirement for us to surrender is that the Metatrilines will never surrender to the Qin Empire! If the Metatrilines king does this, we will leave the kingdom and find our own home again."

"But will the army in the city agree to our conditions?"

"We just surrender and stop the attack. The King of Metattering will meet us in person and make us his nobles. He will agree to this request. Otherwise, he will not have to form an alliance with the Kushui County."

"Sir, let's listen to you." The viscounts in the tent expressed their opinions.

"Call the barons and prepare the soldiers. If these people do not agree to surrender, tie them up." The Count did not dare to neglect them. Many barons also participated in the rebellion, and more or less had more than one hundred soldiers in their hands. Although the baron's status was not high, it would be a problem if they all resisted.

The night was dark, and the troops in Mars City were already gathering. Before dawn, if the troops outside had not responded, they would launch an attack.

Although Salin's 6th Battalion was the most elite, when he set out, he did not expect a rebellion in Phoenix and was not targeted in equipment. The second battalion was targeted in field battles and brought a large amount of equipment. If the rebels outside did not surrender, the second battalion would lead the army of the nobles to massacre.

Salin's various magic weapons are already very close to the army of Saint Rock City. Phoenix's army is much different in equipment, otherwise it would have been slaughtered by heavy infantrymen in the Sixth Battalion, just like chopping melons and vegetables.

If there is no gap in equipment between the two sides, it is very difficult for heavy infantry to massacre heavy cavalry, at least not on the plain.

The lights of the camp outside the city were on. After almost an hour, more than 200 soldiers protected more than a dozen people and approached the south gate of Mars City. The team of soldiers was wearing square flags that were torn into three pieces. These flags were all white, which meant that they were about to surrender.

The soldiers on the city wall immediately sent the news to the city lord's mansion. The officers who were preparing to start breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news. Although everyone thought that there was no suspense in this battle, but with similar forces, their own losses were inevitable. The enemy's surrender was a huge contribution.

When the second battalion general left, Salin had already secretly instructed that if he could persuade a nobleman to surrender, he would write down a merit for his second battalion. Kill a nobleman and reduce the merit by half. If the Phoenixes ran away, he would become the flag commander.

The lights on the top of the city of Mars City immediately lit up, and the city gate slowly opened. The army in the city had been purged and was not afraid of the enemy's sneak attack. These more than 200 soldiers, even if they were sword masters, could not take down the city of Mars.

Rex's officer also sighed. Salin's army put huge pressure on the other side. This surrender was beyond his expectations. However, he did not know that Salin deliberately let the pigeons be released nearby, and let the pigeons fly in the wrong place. He was obtained by the Phoenix rebels, and the Phoenix nobles suffered a blow from his heart.

Salin's intention was obvious. He was not here to fight simply, he wanted to occupy the land.

There are also the contributions of Guya and others. These young men from noble families analyzed the Phoenixes thoroughly. This rebellion was just the last struggle of the Phoenixes. As long as they were given a little hope, Salin would definitely gain a foothold in the north. This hope was the Kingdom of Metatlin, not Qin Yin's vassal.
