The battle had actually come to an end. With the endless supply of advanced weapons and equipment from the Irus, the Grey army, which was still at the level of the Middle Ages, had no chance of winning. A large number of soldiers had been wiped out, and the rest could only flee in vain and blindly. In the end, they were captured and became prisoners of war.
"Big brother, they've closed the gate."
Brian pointed at the soldiers on the wall of Bloody Rock City and said, "Are we going to storm them? Or are we going to persuade them to surrender? "
"Persuade them to surrender? That's not going to happen. "
Tang En shook his head. "These guys have been completely brainwashed by Stanley. Now that the situation is so clear, they have no chance of winning, but they still chose not to surrender. Instead, they closed the gate and stubbornly resisted. Do you think they'll surrender?"
Brian shook his head.
"So …"
Tang En slowly raised his hand and pressed down. "Fire."
Brian turned around. "Target the gate. Load it with solid shells and fire. Let these guys know that they've made a stupid choice."
The tanks behind him slowly adjusted their turrets and fired after locking on to the gate. The whistling shells directly smashed the thick gate. The remaining power of the shells did not diminish. They flew for a few thousand meters and pierced through a few houses before slowly coming to a stop.
The guards of Bloody Rock City who were hiding behind the gate were all shocked after witnessing this scene.
Although they had seen what had happened on the battlefield, they did not expect that the heavy city gate would be so weak!
A few more shells followed until the entire gate was blown to pieces. Then, the armored vehicles directly pushed forward and slowly drove into Bloody Rock City. The modified armored tanks looked very ferocious and domineering. The sharp armor plates that flashed with a cold light sent chills down people's spines. No one dared to stand in front of them.
The tanks drove straight in and forced the guards to retreat again and again. They were all forced to the square near the gate.
A moment later, a special mobile team in magic-powered armor descended from the sky and surrounded the guards in the square. Tom shouted, "You are all Irus prisoners. If you don't want to die, put down your weapons immediately and squat on the ground with your hands on your head! We uphold the spirit of humanitarianism and do not kill prisoners! "
The city guards looked at each other and secretly nodded. Then, they suddenly attacked Tom, who was beside them, in an attempt to open a gap and escape.
What they didn't expect was that after their deadly attacks landed on Tom, the power was all absorbed by the armor. Tom was obviously stunned, as if he didn't expect to be attacked.
In the next moment, with a flip of his hand, his chainsword swept out with a buzzing sound. Immediately, flesh and blood splattered in front of him. The guards of Bloody Rock City who were trying to cause trouble were cut to pieces on the spot by the extremely sharp chainsword.
"Did you see that? If you don't listen, they will be your role models! "
Tom snapped, "Don't think we'll be merciful!"
Logically speaking, when such a typical example appeared in front of them, these people should immediately stop resisting. However, there were a few people hiding in the crowd who shouted, "Everyone, don't give up! Continue to resist! His Majesty Stanley will come to save us soon! "
These words seemed to have some magical power. The city guards, who were originally hesitating, immediately clenched their weapons and stared at the Irus soldiers.
Which asshole is doing this?!
Tom was furious after his two attempts to persuade them to surrender were foiled. He instantly locked onto one of the guys who was hiding in the crowd. With a stomp of his feet, the power armor flew over the crowd with a whoosh. The chainsword buzzed as it slashed down, directly splitting the person in half. His internal organs splattered all over the ground.
Tom swung his chainsword and asked coldly, "Who else dares to cause trouble?"
"The brutal Irus can't defeat the great Gris! His Majesty Stanley will definitely — "
A sharp sound pierced through the air, and with a bang, the head of the person who just spoke exploded. The people around him were so scared that they quickly retreated.
Tom looked up at Danny in the sky and said angrily, "Don't steal my job!"
Danny put away his electromagnetic sniper rifle and said, "Isn't it because you're a little slow? Why are you talking nonsense with these guys? If they don't listen, just kill them. We Irus don't raise useless people."
Tom sighed and said, "I just want to help Tang En Majesty as much as possible to recruit more labor."
Danny shrugged and didn't say anything.
But although he didn't say anything, his deterrence was still there. The Comet motorcycle steadily stopped above the square. Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at the captives below from the sky. Their cold eyes were emotionless, and the electromagnetic sniper rifles in their hands were ready to shoot any suspicious person at any time.
The captives finally became obedient. There were a few who were still unwilling to give up, but they could only temporarily suppress their anger and look for another opportunity later.
But what they didn't know was that Tom had already locked onto them. After this was over, these people were destined to be wiped out.
Tang En followed Brian and the others into Blood Rock City.
The heavy footsteps attracted the attention of the residents of Blood Rock City. The residents of Blood Rock City who were hiding in their homes secretly peeked out from the cracks in their doors and windows to see the appearance of these "invaders". Many young children knew that their parents died in the hands of these "invaders", so their eyes were filled with unconcealable hatred.
"Your Majesty, those children are secretly observing you."
Locke whispered to Tang En, "In time, they will definitely become an unstable factor. If you can't bear to do it, you can leave this task to me and Kendall."
Locke had recently heard about Tang En in Ellington. He had a rough understanding of the great mission that Tang En had. To be able to serve such a great person was a supreme honor.
And such a hero who was destined to go down in history should not have a stain. So, Locke and Kendall could help Tang En bear the blame for his crimes and infamy.
"There's no need."
Tang En had long noticed the observing gazes. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "If we kill these children, the Grays in Blood Rock City will be completely annihilated. Let them live, and when they grow up, they can marry other races and gradually dilute the so-called Grays bloodline and assimilate them."
After a pause, Tang En shook his head and said, "As for the hatred in their hearts, to be honest, the deaths of their families are related to Stanley and me. They have the right to hate me, but this kind of blind hatred is not a big problem. Later on, their thinking can be corrected through education."
Although Tang En said it very simply, Locke already understood his plan.
As long as they were free from Stanley's control, with Tang En's current ability to use public opinion and propaganda, it would not be difficult to brainwash these people. When they slowly grew up, everything they saw and heard would change their views. They would discover that Tang En had brought them a better life. The hatred of the past might not disappear directly, but at least they would definitely not continue to resist Tang En's rule.
Of course, there was the possibility that some stubborn people would insist on revenge, but when that time came, Tang En would have plenty of ways to deal with them. Other things aside, the Ghost Agents were not to be trifled with. They were all too familiar with dealing with dissidents.
As time passed, the other troops soon broke in and forced the other waves of defenders into Blood Rock City. After several waves of troops gathered, they escorted more than five thousand defenders to the simple square in the center of Blood Rock City.
Then, Tang En's figure slowly floated into the sky. The entire city fell into silence as everyone watched his figure. The old and young residents who were hiding in their homes quietly poked their heads out.
It was this person who had led a mere ten thousand men to attack Blood Rock City with a thunderous force, breaking the legend of this invincible city ….
"Everyone in Blood Rock City, I am the Regent of the Irus Empire, Tang En."
Tang En looked down at the crowd below and slowly said, "Because of the cruel actions of King Stanley of Gris, this King made the painful decision to launch this expedition. The goal is very simple. It is to liberate Gris from the cruel hands of Stanley and restore peace to this land. From today onwards, you will no longer have to worry about your daughters being kidnapped and tortured to death by him."
"Stanley was a human, but he made an evil contract with the devil and secretly helped the devil collect souls. His crimes were unpardonable and this King has killed him!"
Although he didn't know what kind of deal Stanley had with the demons, since he was no longer around, he might as well throw some dirty water at them first. After all, the demons were the public enemy of Prandal, and it would be great to earn some reputation points for himself.
"I declare that from today onwards, the Gris Kingdom no longer exists. Gris will return to the Irus Empire and the Gris Province will be restored. The authority of the feudal lords will be abolished. The feudal lords will only have the right to execute laws and will not have the right to legislate."
"This King will send messengers today to pass on a message. All the Castellans in the Gris Province will temporarily retain their original positions, but they must come to Blood Rock City within a month to submit to this King. If they do not appear before the deadline, they will be stripped of their status as Castellans. If they refuse to return to the Irus Empire, they will be treated as traitors and executed!"
"At the same time, this King will open a complaint channel. Anyone who has been treated unfairly by nobles, maliciously oppressed by officials, ignored by government officials, or accepted bribes, can directly complain with their real names or anonymously through the complaint channel. This King promises to give you a fair, legal, open, and advanced Gris Province."
Tang En announced the laws related to the future of Gris Province one by one. Finally, he said, "Since the captives of this war were bewitched by Stanley, this King will pardon all of them from the death penalty. However, they will have to undergo 20 years of reform through labor. If they perform well, they can end their labor early and regain their status as commoners."
