At dawn, Aslan entered the city under the escort of the Knight Guards, and Shani also headed to the square of Dylan City under the leadership of Lancelot to prepare for today's speech.
Now Shani has to give a speech wherever he goes, and he is a huge success every time, making it easier for Aslan to take over the city.
Only after half of the Snow Fox Legion was wiped out last night did the other nobles react. After learning that Duke Durandal had surrendered, except for a few diehards who followed Duke Durandal in surrender, they all sent troops to attack the Lord's Mansion.
Unfortunately, in the face of the unified army that had entered the city and the disorganized city defense army, except for the aristocratic private army who still barely had the will to resist, the other city defense forces almost collapsed at the first touch.
These last nobles who resisted were slaughtered by Alfonso who entered the city. As a former slave, he was the person who hated nobles the most in the world.
The slaughtered nobles also brought huge wealth, making all the United Army soldiers smile.
Although the wealth collected from the nobles must be registered and turned over, everyone can receive one-tenth of the collected wealth.
Of course, anyone who dares to reach into a civilian home will be killed.
During the speech in the square today, four United Army soldiers who went crazy and robbed ordinary people's homes were going to be executed.
Executed entirely by public trial.
In the Lord's Mansion, Duke Durandal was secretly frightened as he looked at the unified army that had taken control of the entire main city.
Surprisingly, there was no burning, killing, and looting that often occurred in the past.
The main city is in good order.
"Your Excellency, the Marquis of Aslan is here."
The butler's voice rang in my ears.
"Please come in, Marquis." Duke Durandal said, adjusting his collar at the same time.
In the reception room, Duke Durandal was leaning on crutches, standing upright, waiting for Aslan's arrival.
"I haven't seen you, Marquis Aslan, for a year. You have become more stable and mature."
As soon as Aslan entered the door, Duke Durandal immediately gave Aslan a warm hug.
"There is only one month to go. I feel relieved to see that the old Duke is in such good health," Aslan said.
After the two were polite, Duke Durandal asked directly: "I wonder where I will settle in the future?"
Aslan took out a map of Merlot, pointed to an open space between Merlot City and Changfeng City, and said: "I have already helped the Duke to find a manor for the old Duke to build here. The former manor will go to Merlot."
The city is less than an hour's journey away, and it's almost the same to Changfeng City. When you have nothing to do, you can also go to Alliance City to experience the alien customs."
The corner of Duke Durandal's mouth twitched. He was sick, so he went to a dirty and messy place like that of aliens.
Obviously, Duke Durandal's attitude towards foreigners is still the same as that of the old nobles before.
I never expected that Aslan would now develop the alien area into a key tourist attraction.
"The Marquis of Aslan is here." Duke Durandal said helplessly.
Anyway, it's not far from Merlo City, and he bought a house in Merlo City a long time ago. He can go to Alliance City for vacation, and naturally he can also go to Merlo City for vacation.
While Aslan and Duke Durandal were discussing matters regarding other surrendering nobles, the Kyoto Parliament was already in chaos.
The Duke of Durandal surrendered, the province of Asean fell, and the 50,000 elite members of the Snow Fox Legion were buried in the city of Durandal.
Without the province of Essian as a barrier, the United Army can attack the province of Cleveland and even attack the city.
"That old bastard, Duke Durandal."
"I've long said that old guy Durandal can't be trusted."
For a time, the whole conference room was filled with curses.
After Patrick and Uzmi looked at each other, they nodded in unison.
"Silence! Now is not the time for us to continue quarreling. Our army has not yet left the province of Cleveland, so it can meet the United Army on the border. The United Army attacks continuously and rapidly. Our army is waiting for work, and it is not without the strength to fight.
"
"That's right, in this expedition, I will lead the Iron Wall Legion as the vanguard, and the Snow Fox Legion will press behind. They will be able to block the United Army at the border. As long as we persist for three more days, the reinforcements from the Magic City will arrive." Uzmi
shouted loudly.
With these two military bosses speaking, the conference room calmed down a bit.
"That's right, if you don't fight, you have no choice but to escape. Are you willing to give up the territory you have managed for many years?" Duke Rumsfeld shouted loudly.
"You put it simply, the north is in danger, but what about us in the south? The United Army has already occupied most of Buik Province." Duke Azrael said unwillingly.
"The territory of Merlocks Province is indeed very large now. It is only slightly smaller than the Federal Kingdom, but its population is not even one-tenth of ours. How many troops they can have, and some of them have to stay in the area. The southern provinces
After all, the offensive will not be too big, and the main force must be in the north. As long as Kyoto is captured in one go, the federal kingdom of Cleveland will definitely fall apart." Patrick analyzed calmly.
In the conference room, arguments continued for a while, but in the end, the northern nobles had the upper hand, and Kyoto was above all else.
The 500,000 troops that were originally to reinforce the southern provinces were also transferred back, and one million troops were quickly gathered in various places. In addition to the temporary aristocratic private troops who were training, there were also one million troops, and nearly three million troops had marched across the Cleveland Province.
At the border line, they faced off against the Third Corps of the United Army that had just arrived at the border line.
Looking at the marching tents of the Cleveland Federal Kingdom scattered all over the mountains and plains, Concas said with a livid face: "How many troops have been summoned? The Cleveland Federal Kingdom is indeed seriously ill. No wonder there is a famine, not to mention a reduction in production. How many fields have been abandoned along the way, Kyoto
Do those nobles have shit in their heads?"
Concas did not have any fear. Instead, he set up camp calmly, built the positions into interlocking positions, and established three lines of defense. Their Third Corps did not choose the easy-to-carry Melo A-type 75mm electromagnetic infantry cannon. They were equipped with the Melo A-type 75mm electromagnetic infantry cannon.
Luo D type 150mm howitzer, the ammunition used by this howitzer is not the double-base gunpowder that can only be imported from Kanglai World, but the single-base gunpowder produced in mainland China.
Because the initial velocity of the single-base gunpowder flame is that of the double-base gunpowder, although it has a caliber of 150 mm, its maximum range is only fifteen kilometers. However, this heavy artillery is completely self-produced and is the main artillery equipment of the United Army's heavy artillery force today.
An artillery wing of the Third Corps is equipped with 20 Merlot D-type 150mm howitzers. Each wing is also equipped with four to six 100mm caliber artillery. As for the 80mm mortar, it is even equipped to the squad level.
.
The artillery equipped by their corps is basically self-produced artillery, so when bombarding, there is no need to cherish the artillery shells. As long as the logistics troops can keep up, they dare to bombard them to death.
