He has followed Duke Durandal for more than 20 years and has achieved great success. There is no need to doubt his loyalty.
Otherwise Cromwell would not have known that the third line of defense was in danger and sent Sika to take charge.
In the situation like this, only those who are absolutely trusted and trustworthy would be sent.
In the past two years, Sika has never betrayed any information about Duke Durandal, and has even been more attentive to protecting Duke Durandal.
But secretly, Sika also received a lot of filial piety from the Tianping Chamber of Commerce, secretly opening the door for convenience for the Tianping Chamber of Commerce, and the Tianping Chamber of Commerce would not let Sika do anything too extreme.
Under the sugar-coated bullets from the Tianping Chamber of Commerce, Sika's heart had actually long been tilted towards Mero City, but out of chivalry, she did not commit any betrayal.
Now that the anti-Plumbine defense line is over, continuing to hold on will only increase casualties, not to mention that Cromwell fainted. For the sake of the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the anti-Plumbium line of defense.
"Someone must take responsibility for this infamy. We have tried our best." Sika stated his plan in the headquarters and received support from the entire headquarters.
It is no exaggeration to say that, except for the nobles, the entire Cleveland Commonwealth Kingdom now hopes that Marquis Aslan will overthrow the Parliament of Nobles as soon as possible.
After the establishment of the federal kingdom of Cleveland, the nobles suffered heavy losses due to a year-long drought and locust plague. Now that they have recovered, they will naturally exploit the people in the territory.
Increasing taxes and rents are all normal operations. The most bizarre thing is that the noble council issued a seal on the economy of Merlocks Province and prohibited the sale of goods in Merlocks Province.
This is extremely uncomfortable for the middle class or people with a small fortune who have become accustomed to the cheap goods and convenience produced in Merlo City.
But this is a national decision, and they can only bite the bullet and endure it.
However, the local nobles' clever maneuvers almost caused these people to rise up. On the one hand, the nobles cracked down on the products of Merlocks Province, and on the other hand, they secretly smuggled and sold the products at several times the original price.
what is this?
Aristocratic monopoly?
This is the tragedy of the current Cleveland Commonwealth Kingdom. The Noble Council is composed of big nobles. They seem to restrain each other, and the decrees they issue can only be implemented in their respective territories.
The other duchies don't even have to think about it. Take the economic blockade as an example. Several grand dukes made the decision and considered it in great detail. For the Commonwealth Kingdom of Cleveland, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
But these low-handed little lords of the grand duke don't accept this trick. Many of them are the descendants and relatives of these grand dukes. Since they can't do it openly, they can do it secretly.
Originally, it was just exploiting the lower class people of the kingdom, but now it is not sparing even the middle class people and professionals, which has already caused public outrage.
Use Aslan's words to describe the current federal kingdom of Cleveland.
The world has been suffering from Qin for a long time.
It's just that the nobility is powerful, and even those families that have given birth to mentor-level experts dare not touch the edge. Now that Marquis Aslan has led a large army to attack, everyone who is not a noble is rushing to meet him.
This is the case with today's anti-plumb defense line. There are not many nobles in the Estee Province who are willing to suffer at the anti-plumb defense line. The only one, Viscount Remington, only wants to gain military merit. When he encounters danger, he breaks out and runs away.
.
It was completely different from when the Kingdom of Cleveland was established hundreds of years ago. The nobility at that time were the real nobility. The aristocratic spirit they admired was not the current life of luxury and luxury, but a series of honor, responsibility, courage, self-discipline, etc.
A pioneering spirit with values at its core.
"We are willing to bear this infamy together with Sir Sika." All the officers in the command headquarters said in unison.
Under the pressure of the First Corps and the Second Corps, the second defense line slowly lowered the family flag symbolizing Duke Durandal, and finally wore a white flag.
In the originally windless environment, after the white flag was raised, a strong wind suddenly blew, causing the white flag to rustle.
After seeing the white flag, the soldiers on the anti-Mei defense line actually cheered.
That's right, not the cheers of victory, but the cheers of surrender.
Some soldiers rushed out of the defense line, raising their weapons high.
"We surrender, please don't shoot."
"I surrender!"
Sika had just come out of the headquarters. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The same was true for other officers. The soldiers had no intention of fighting. Even if they, the officers, chose to hold on, the soldiers would flee and surrender one after another.
The soldiers of the United Army stared blankly at the enemy troops who were happily surrendering in front of them.
Gawain breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if he could take down the Mei defense line without fighting.
Although the unified army is powerful and well-equipped, the anti-Mei defense line is not a simple one. Whether it is the first corps led by Gawain or the second and third corps led by Artoria, hundreds of people have been killed and nearly a thousand injured.
people.
Such casualty figures are already negligible for a continental war, but if a force were to attack the second line of defense, which was armed to the teeth, the casualties would have to be at least several times higher.
Sika led the remaining four mentor-level experts on the second line of defense and a group of officers to the unified army camp. The group rode into the unified army camp on war horses and held high the white flag.
Jumping off the horse, Sika took the lead and handed over the weapons on his body, kneeling down on one knee to salute Arturia, who was more than ten meters away.
"The temporary commander of the Anti-Japanese Defense Line, Knight Instructor Sika, paid a courtesy visit to His Excellency, the Commander of the United Army."
Arturia strolled up to Sika and stood with a sword in both hands.
"You made a clear choice and gave the more than 200,000 soldiers on the anti-Japanese defense line a chance. You are a qualified commander."
Lancelot smiled and nodded to Sika.
After seeing Lancelot, Sika's originally uneasy heart was completely settled.
Over the years, Lancelot has been in contact with him.
When Aslan woke up, he stretched himself. This was the first time he slept alone after getting married.
Looking at the bright spring breeze outside the window, Aslan said with a smile.
"Ah! The weather is so good today, it will definitely bring me good news."
Nomeli seemed to hear Aslan talking to himself, opened the door and came in, holding a document in his hand.
Aslan's face immediately became serious.
"Latest emergency call!"
"read!"
"At six o'clock this morning, our troops successfully captured the anti-plumb defense line."
This simple sentence made Aslan burst out laughing.
With the anti-Mei defense line secured, Cleveland's army had no natural danger to defend on the way to Kyoto. As for the so-called main city and fortress, they simply could not hold out for long in the face of today's heavy artillery.
