The speed of the enemy's surrender was also unexpected. Even the people on the other side didn't know what was going on. Seeing the large group of soldiers holding white flags, the soldiers on the other side didn't know what to do. To be honest, they were also scared to death. The weapons in their hands were all fire sticks. If they really fought, they wouldn't be able to win. Why did the other side surrender so quickly? Was it a fake surrender?
Just when both sides didn't know what to do, Farim led everyone to the city gate. Looking at the number of soldiers below, Farim took a deep breath. This time, Manul had sent out his entire army. With a total of 2000 people, they could do whatever they wanted in the southwest of the continent. Only now did Farim know the strength of the other party. If they were to really fight, their chances of winning would be less than 20%.
"Duke." At this time, Li Huailin had just landed and saw the troops outside the city gate. "Do you think the soldiers outside are faking their surrender? Are they trying to trick us into opening the gate? How can they surrender so quickly after declaring war?"
Li Huailin wasn't sure himself. After all, the other side had surrendered too decisively. After thinking for a while, he shouted at the soldiers at the gate, "Are they surrendering?"
"Yes, we have surrendered. Please don't attack us anymore."
"Yes, please don't use that weapon to attack our city anymore."
The people below were also anxious. They were afraid that the people on the other side would use a strange weapon to attack their city.
"If you want to surrender, put down your weapons first. Then, form groups of ten and walk in." Probably knowing that they had misunderstood his skill as a mysterious weapon, Li Huailin wouldn't explain it clearly. He directly ordered, "Put down your weapons on the ground and start lining up."
"Okay, okay, okay …" Of course, these people were sincerely surrendering. They immediately followed Li Huailin's instructions and put down their weapons first before lining up.
Seeing that the other side was very cooperative, they put down their weapons and opened the city gate. The other side also split into groups of 10 and slowly entered the city. Of course, as soon as they entered the city, a large number of soldiers were waiting for them. Right now, Condal's soldiers were very nervous. They tied up the groups and threw them into the temporary detention camp.
The surrender had been going smoothly. Li Huailin also took this time to understand that the other side was really going to surrender. Because after thinking about it, although the other side seemed to have the upper hand, they were actually just the troops of a small country in the southwest. Previously, these two countries had been at peace for a hundred years. Now that they were suddenly going to war, the soldiers on this side were indeed not good. But what about the other side? The Kingdom of Limur had been preparing for war for a long time, and the soldiers had also trained for a long time. However, the mentality of the soldiers could not be trained. Everyone was born in a peaceful era and was used to a peaceful life. Now that there was a war, the other side would directly blow up their homes. Wasn't this digging up their roots?
Seeing this, Li Huailin didn't think of it before because he had brought regular imperial soldiers. The difference between them and these soldiers was their faith and military spirit. His soldiers had been through the battlefield, so they were completely different from these people. So in the same situation, his soldiers would not surrender, but these people would.
After figuring this out, Li Huailin didn't have to watch over Na Jiang anymore because there wouldn't be any trouble in the future. However, there was still a problem, and that was that the quest hadn't been completed yet.
"The troops have surrendered, but the mission is not completed yet. Didn't you say that protecting Condal would be enough?" Millennium Unchanging also said.
"If that's the case, it may be because although the frontline troops have surrendered, the Kingdom of Limur is not considered to have been defeated politically. It probably needs the Kingdom of Limur to officially admit defeat or a truce," Jade Emperor Summoning said.
Everyone nodded. That was about it. Of course, a truce was a matter between nations, so they went to Farim's side to discuss things.
"This time, I really want to thank all the brave warriors for their help." Farim also understood his current situation, and said very gratefully. Perhaps because the mission was not completed yet, there was no notification of his favorability toward Li Huailin yet, but it would probably pop up after the mission was completed.
"Find someone to go back and tell them that the frontline troops have surrendered. Ask them to quickly come over and surrender," Li Huailin said. "But speaking of which, Farim, what are your conditions?"
"Sigh …" Farim himself was stunned. "This, Duke, I have never thought about this problem. I thought that it would be good enough if we could survive this crisis, but suddenly, we won. This …"
"Father, let's directly annex the Kingdom of Limur. We are originally a country, so there should be no problem merging now, right?" Prince Miser suddenly stepped forward and said. In this situation, anyone with a little ambition would become arrogant. It seemed that Miser was also a prince with a lot of ambition.
"Annex the Kingdom of Limur?" Farim was slightly stunned, then suddenly looked at Li Huailin, because he did not have the final say in this matter. The Kingdom of Condal and the Kingdom of Limur were both vassal states of the Nasser Empire. Although this time, the Kingdom of Limur took the initiative to attack them, he was not as bold as Manuel to annex them, especially when Li Huailin was still there. After thinking for a while, Farim said, "Duke, what do you think we should put forward this time?"
Li Huailin had no interest in whether the two countries would merge or not. What Li Huailin needed now was to complete the mission and the other half of the talisman. As for the political system of these two small countries, who would have the time to care about them? So Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "I don't care about other things, but I want the war to end immediately. Don't make a long negotiation, I can't wait. Also, I want this talisman, and I want the other side's talisman. That's all. Do whatever you want."
"Yes, Duke." Farim instantly understood what Li Huailin meant, and Li Huailin's meaning could also be regarded as the Nasser Empire's meaning. This meant that the Nasser Empire did not care whether the two countries were unified or not. After all, they would still be vassal states.
This way, Farim's side also had the intention to unify. Moreover, Li Huailin also said that he didn't want to wait for negotiations. In that case, they might as well not negotiate at all. They could just wipe out the other side and be done with it.
"Then, Duke, why don't we attack the opposite side of Limur City now? The other side probably does not have any troops now, and the city has been blown up. If we attack, we should be able to quickly end the war, "Farim said carefully.
"Oh, that's a good idea." Li Huailin nodded. Of course, this was the fastest way. "Then don't send any messengers. Let's attack now."
The people above made the decision, and then the Kandal Kingdom also sent out their army. They had a total of 1,000 soldiers, leaving behind 200 soldiers and 500 soldiers brought by Lord Musa to guard the newly captured captives. The rest of the army was sent out. Originally, they did not have enough weapons, but now that the Limur Kingdom's soldiers had 2,000 armed soldiers at the gate, they could just take them and leave.
The 1,000 soldiers went around the Central Lake and quickly arrived at the gate of Limur City. When they got closer, they could see the current state of Limur City. The entire city was in a terrible state. From the outside, it looked very exaggerated. The city walls had been damaged in several places, and it was almost useless for defense. One of the city gates had also collapsed. It was even worse inside. Collapsed buildings could be seen everywhere, and many of them were on fire. At this time, everyone in the Kingdom of Limur was doing their best to provide disaster relief, and no one came back to resist the attack of the army.
Seeing the Kandal Kingdom's soldiers, everyone knew that they were not their own troops, but no one bothered to stop them. The soldiers entered the city smoothly. If not for the order, these soldiers might have helped the civilians to provide disaster relief. As mentioned before, because of the intermarriage between the two countries, many people were relatives. Now, in this situation, they also wanted to help or see how their relatives were doing.
But now was not the time, because Farim was still there. Originally, he did not need to come, but Farim came voluntarily. It was unknown whether he wanted to see Manuel or Dakota. Under Farim's order, the soldiers also passed through the collapsed buildings and quickly went to Limur Castle.
Limur Castle's disaster was much more serious than the city. Because it was more conspicuous, it was hit the most by Li Huailin. Now, it was basically razed to the ground. Just when everyone was worried that King Manuel and the others were buried alive, they found Manuel and the others who had just escaped outside the castle. Of course, Dakota was also inside.
The appearance of the Kandal Kingdom's soldiers obviously stunned Manuel. He did not understand why they would appear here. Although Limur City was attacked, his soldiers should still be attacking Kandal City. Why would the King of Kandal appear here with his soldiers?
"Manuel, your soldiers have surrendered. You have lost. Surrender," Farim said as he took a step forward. "For the sake of your father, I will not kill you."
"What? That's impossible!" Manuel exclaimed.
