The army of the Rock Empire collapsed, and it happened more than ten days ago. The remaining troops of the Rock Empire began to retreat across the board, gave up the city of Soth, and gave up all offensive plans.
Fokker led his defeated troops back a very long distance, almost dozens of kilometers, and abandoned almost all villages and small towns along the way.
Only after they retreated to the city at the rear did the defeated troops stop their retreat. They began to frantically build ballistae, reinforce their city walls, and hoard all kinds of bows, arrows, and food.
Although everything they do is in vain, it can make them feel more comfortable and at least increase their sense of security.
With a sense of security, the Rock Empire has already contacted the Flame Empire and the Changhe Empire, and is waiting for feedback from these empires.
The Flame Empire has convinced the Holy See and sent the Holy Army to help the Rock Empire. The Flame Empire has also mobilized its army to help. The first batch of 10,000 troops has entered the territory of the Rock Empire.
Because of this series of favorable relationships, the ministers of the Panshi Empire, as well as the emperor, all felt that they had new opportunities and could continue to wait.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that it was the Eilanhill Empire that gave them the opportunity to wait. Burrison did not take the initiative to attack, but began to consolidate his occupied area.
The Galewind Empire, which has already controlled most of the territory, still has some unstable factors and needs time to consolidate. For the vast territory, the scale of the forward troops of the Airanhill Empire is too small.
They lacked enough troops to defend the entire occupied area, so they could only wait and wait for the waiters sent out to persuade the other party to surrender honestly.
But in fact, Luman was not qualified as an envoy. He did not make the Rock Empire surrender immediately, but wasted a lot of precious time.
In the magnificent hall, the emperor of the Rock Empire was sitting in his seat, looking at Lu Man under the steps with a very ugly expression.
He really didn't expect that the envoy sent by the other side was actually the surrendered bastard Luman! That damn guy who lost the city of Sos and affected the entire course of the war!
Now, he really wanted to order the bastard in front of him to be pulled out and chopped, but his reason forced him to suppress his anger and restrain his emotions.
Lu Man stood in the main hall and continued to speak to the ministers, Fokker and others: "Your Majesty! You have seen the power of the Airanhill Empire. In front of such a powerful country, choosing to surrender is not the best result.
?”
"We have discussed this matter before. Although I also think starting a war is irrational, your conditions are really difficult to accept." Very unhappy, the Emperor of the Rock Empire waved his hand and said.
His words convinced many ministers that if the other party offered some conditions such as land cession and compensation, they felt that the matter was not non-negotiable.
After all, the opponent is indeed powerful and cannot afford to offend him. How about simply handing over the city of Soth to the opponent and offering some jewels, gold and silver to end the war?
According to the Rock Empire's thinking, the opponent who has obtained the benefits should go to the Flame Empire and the Changhe Empire to cause trouble.
But the script was not written according to this. The conditions brought by Luhmann really left the Rock Empire without any room for compromise.
For the royal family, they would rather fight to the last soldier than give up the entire empire easily and give up their power without even a struggle.
What's more, the situation now seems to be very favorable to the Rock Empire. They have defended their defense line and are almost waiting for their own reinforcements.
The Emperor of the Rock Empire, whose situation is getting better and better, is even less likely to accept this condition of abdicating the throne in favor of a worthy person, so now he doesn't even bother to pretend to be helpless, and simply treats Lu Man.
But Luman had no choice. He had not yet completed the task given to him by the Ailanthir Empire, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "The Rock Empire must accept all the conditions. This is the way for the Ailanthir Empire to end the war."
Conditions! Your Majesty! In the face of powerful power..."
He now also knows that he has almost lost all the trust given by the Elanthir Empire. He has wasted more than ten days and made no progress at all.
"That's enough! Stop talking! I think you should go back and ask the people from the Ailanhir Empire to change their conditions!" This time, His Majesty, the Emperor of the Rock Empire, did not speak.
A minister from the Rock Empire stood up and scolded.
After being interrupted, Lu Man did not open his mouth to humiliate himself again, because he knew that there was no hope for him to complete the mission this time.
So he glanced at General Fokker, who was standing there without saying a word, and then looked at his former monarch with regretful eyes.
Finally, he shook his head, sighed, and walked out of this seemingly splendid hall lonely.
…
"We seem to be underestimated..." Standing at the top of Soth City, Marvin said to Burlison standing next to him: "We are interested in the population here and this rich planet, but
The other party actually thinks that our kindness is natural."
"Yeah, we think we shouldn't make our hatred too big and restrain our force, but the other side obviously doesn't appreciate it." Burlison nodded and said: "I have sent two troops to attack the other side's two cities respectively.
If anything, they will soon discover that their struggle is pointless."
While the two people were talking, the puppet robot troops of the Eilanhir Empire had already swarmed onto the city walls of a Rock Empire city.
On the city wall, next to a ballista that had been reduced to parts, the corpses of more than a dozen local city guard soldiers were lying scattered.
A puppet stood aside with his own assault rifle, watching the defenders squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands as they surrendered.
In less than an hour, the city was completely occupied. The golden eagle flag symbolizing the Ilanthil Empire was hung on the city wall, and the city wall was filled with puppet robots carrying weapons.
Most of the civilians had been moved away, leaving less than half. The old, weak, sick and disabled who had no time to leave looked at the black golden eagle flag on the city wall in horror and hid in their houses and refused to come out.
As for the attacking puppet robot troops, they found almost nothing except some food and weapons.
