There were 6,000 soldiers, 470 of whom were from Versailles. These people all had children in the city, and they did not dare to rebel against Lord Cosman even if they were killed.
What Wang Xu meant was that there was no need to liquidate these people who did not intend to rebel, and they could just be taken back by Albuquerque.
He is not a grassroots person who has not yet risen. Hundreds of people have not been taken seriously by him. He has never regarded these people as enemies. Even Cosman, the Lord of Versailles, and Albert, the mine director, are not enough to become
his enemy.
In this way, those who are unwilling to surrender can be released after collecting their weapons.
This is not a question of whether murderous intentions are serious, but it is completely unnecessary. You may step on a few ants in a fit of anger because you are in a bad mood, but you will not step on them for a whole day unless you are mentally ill.
Wang Xu is in a very good mood now. The mine protection team is considered useless after this battle.
The remaining 4,000 men are stretched thin to defend the mine, and they will certainly not cause trouble for him in the coming battle.
Therefore, whether or not to kill those hundreds of people was all up to him. If he didn't want to kill, he wouldn't kill them. It was no big deal.
"Albuquerque, you traitor, you betrayed your oath and betrayed my trust."
Albert found that he could not contact the northern suburbs mine, and hurried back. After asking, he found out that in the morning, Albuquerque had taken away six thousand-man teams from the mine in his name.
Six, these are six thousand-man troops, more than half of the force guarding the mine.
You must know that there are only 50,000 defenders in the entire Koroma area, of which 30,000 are in the city defense army, 10,000 are in the northern suburbs mines, and 10,000 are in the miscellaneous army.
Six thousand people are already one-eighth of the total military strength in the Koroma region.
How could Albert not be angry when he suffered such a loss because of a traitor?
"Lord, your lord in charge"
Albert was angry when a messenger ran in.
"Who let you in!"
Albert grabbed the cup at hand and hit the orderer on the head, causing the orderer to bleed.
The messenger did not dare to resist, lowered his head and said tremblingly: "My lord, Albuquerque is back."
"What?"
Albert was stunned for a moment, didn't Albuquerque rebel?
Impossible. If Albuquerque had not rebelled, how could he have falsely conveyed his orders and taken away thousands of troops?
"How did he come back and who was with him?" Albert asked hurriedly.
The messenger replied truthfully: "Albuquerque brought back hundreds of people and said he wanted to see you."
"Hundreds of troops?"
Albert's face changed for a while, but he finally took a few deep breaths, tried hard to control his emotions, and said coldly: "Bring him in, I want to see what tricks he is playing!"
The orderly soldier covered his head and retreated. After a while, Albuquerque, who had changed into new clothes, walked in with a rugged look on his face.
As soon as he entered the door and saw Albert with an angry face, Albuquerque swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Sir, I'm back."
"Come back, you still have the nerve to come back!" Albert was so tall that he picked up Albuquerque by his collar and picked him up from the ground, saying bitterly: "Where are my soldiers and horses from the sixth battalion?"
"No more." Albert was as frightened as a chicken, and did not dare to look into Albert's eyes.
"Gone!"
Albert waved his hand, threw Albuquerque to the ground, and said angrily: "Why didn't you get it?"
"Sir, when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. This is normal in the world. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is no way for the rebels to survive. If you don't consider it for the brothers, I can't help but also consider it."
As Albuquerque talked about it, he gradually fell into the drama and really regarded himself as a hero who had to surrender for the sake of his brothers. He said painstakingly: "The coalition has already said that as long as we are willing to surrender, we will have glory and wealth at our fingertips.
The brothers below, starting from the big-head soldier, have all been raised by half a level, and you and I can be raised by a full level!
I will be the supervisor of the Beijiao Mine from now on.
You will be the Lord of Versailles from now on!
When the time comes, you will be in charge of the main city with great authority, and I will take care of your money bag. We will drink in big pots and eat large pieces of meat, and we will be very happy.
Over the years, we have come and gone in the wind and rain, for whatever reason. We have food in our hands and don't panic.
To say that you are willing to sacrifice your life for someone is not selling. Why hang yourself on a tree?
I have already seen that working with the rebels will be over sooner or later. When the time comes, I really have to go to the jungle to fight guerrillas. One by one, there are few brothers who can bear the hardship.
Besides, when we surrender, we are not surrendering to the human race, but accepting the reorganization of the temple. This is not shameful.
We have to leave a way out for ourselves, right?"
"Dream, you traitor!" Albert laughed angrily and said loudly: "Someone, drag Albuquerque out and chop him!"
Kakaka
Several soldiers wearing heavy armor walked in from outside.
When Albuquerque saw it, he was shocked and said quickly: "Wait, I have something else to say!"
"Traitor, what else do you have to say?" Albert waved his hand and was about to take Albuquerque down.
Albuquerque loudly said: "There is an accident in the mine in the northern suburbs. Even if you kill me, it will not help. Moreover, if the two armies are fighting and do not kill the envoys, if I cannot get out today, the human alliance will definitely retaliate, and its strength will be greatly damaged."
What can the mine protection team do to resist?"
Upon hearing this, Albert frowned slightly, and he had to consider these issues.
Seeing the drama, Albuquerque continued his efforts and said: "I came with sincerity. Even those brothers who were unwilling to surrender, I sent them back intact. I would rebel only because of the situation.
, have to follow.
Sir Albert, how much you have taken care of me over the years is why I took the initiative to persuade you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't hesitate to come.
You ask yourself, with the military strength of the Koroma region, can it hold back the human coalition forces for a month, or for a year?
Even if the human coalition is defeated this time, the second, third, and fourth batch of reinforcements will soon arrive.
As for us, what do we have? If we fail just once, all our efforts will be over.
If you are really good for your brothers, you should lead everyone to find a way to survive. The worst is to keep the green hills here, so you won't have to worry about running out of firewood in the future.
On that day, it would be better for you to raise your arms and your brothers to rebel against you than to die in vain now, right?"
Albert's face was uncertain, because whether he admitted it or not, the current situation was indeed unfavorable to the rebels.
After all, the rebels who are unwilling to surrender are in the minority, with only one-fifth of the overall strength of the Totem clan.
In the past, the Totem Tribe was at a disadvantage when it came to war with humans. Now that most people have surrendered, how can the few remaining people survive the joint encirclement and suppression by the Human Tribe and the capitulation faction?
Looking at the stern and fearful Albuquerque, for the first time, Albert began to examine where to go in the future.
Is there really any hope of continuing to fight?
If not, is surrender another option?
This choice is humiliating, but it can leave seeds for the tribe. One day, the seeds will take root and sprout. It is better than dying in vain.
Albert thought this way, and there was another voice faintly deep in his heart.
That voice was telling him that his adjutant had become a traitor, six brigades of soldiers had rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and his mine protection team was finished.
Even if he refuses to rebel, he will still be a mere commander in the future. Is it possible that he will become an adjutant for Renault's city defense army?
No, that's not what he wants.
Perhaps, surrender is also an option.
Thinking that as long as he surrendered, he could become the future Lord of Versailles, Albert had to admit that he was moved.
After all, he didn't have much choice.
Without the mine protection team, he has already lost half.m.
