Mage Joan

The highest rank in this surrender team was the lieutenant of Earl Winthrop, General Thomas Convalley.

Rolls Winthrop himself really couldn't afford to surrender, and endured public ridicule from his opponents, but did not come to the surrender ceremony under the pretext of being unwell.

In fact, as early as last night, the Lord Earl had changed into casual clothes and quietly left the port on the "Hunter" magic destroyer.

General Kang Huali was left behind by his superiors, so he had to harden his scalp and barely maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, holding Winthrop's honor sword in both hands and heading to the opposite Continental Army camp.

According to the surrender process, he should hand the honour sword to the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army George Vassar.

However, General Convalley seemed unwilling. He ignored George Vassar riding a white horse and walked straight to Prince Colofa, Admiral Helena and General Vigraf with his sword in his hand.

When people saw this scene, they couldn't help but be astonished.

When others hadn't reacted, Qiao An, who was standing next to Vassar, had a surprisingly online EQ, and realized that Kang Huali was not at ease, and quickly winked at Audrey beside him.

Audrey was prompted by him, and immediately recovered, walked quickly behind her brother, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Prince Colofa nodded slightly, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

At this time, General Convalley had walked up to Colofa and the others, and respectfully presented his sword to represent the surrender of Earl Winthrop.

This unexpected scene irritated and embarrassed all the Continental Army generals.

Thomas Convalley’s move clearly looked down on the opponent of the Continental Army. He would rather surrender to the Canaanites and Far Easterners who really defeated the Fibonacci Army than to take a ride on George Vassar, who was purely a rider and enjoy his success. The "Commander in Chief" surrendered.

In the presence of so many people on both sides, especially with hundreds of foreign journalists present, the most embarrassing person on the scene is undoubtedly George Vassar.

He had to admit that, from Delin Town to Leiden City, the Continental Army was able to counterattack and win many battles, and it was inseparable from the strong support of allies from the Far East and Canaan.

Generals from abroad, such as Colofa, Helena, and Vigraf, were courteous and courteous during their work with Vassar. They respected the authority of his commander-in-chief. They had never spoken or acted in disarray. However, Vassar himself knew that. In this battle, the allies from Canaan and the Far East are the protagonists, and the roles played by him and the soldiers of the Continental Army under his leadership are nothing but the green leaves that set off the safflower.

In this situation, General Kang Huali was not convinced by him and deliberately presented him with this problem, even if Vassar felt upset in his heart.

Fortunately, Colofa, Helena, and Vigraf were not stunned. They did not let Convalley’s divorce plan come true, tacitly refused to accept the sword, and signaled Convalley to hand over the sword to George Vassar. .

"General, your eyes don't seem so good, our commander-in-chief is over there." Audrey mocked without losing the opportunity.

General Convalley felt boring, so he smiled awkwardly, turned back to George Vasama, and offered his sword.

George Vassar closed the reins, did not take the sword, and calmly said to Cornwalli: "Since Your Excellency Winthrop is not here in person, please give the sword to my chief of staff, General Green. ."

The enemy commander-in-chief refused to attend the surrender ceremony in person, so according to the principle of reciprocity, Vassar did not need to give General Convalley this face.

Nathaniel Greenzer immediately took the saber from Kang Huali and showed it to his soldiers, which drew a thunderous cheering and shouting.

In the three years since the war broke out, the Continental Army has suffered so many defeats and has been on the brink of desperation countless times. Now it is finally ushering in a moment of exhilaration. Many veterans even burst into tears with excitement.

Nathaniel Green couldn't help but his eyes were red, and he barely restrained the excitement in his heart, and returned the saber to Thomas Convalley, ending the surrender ceremony.

Next, 20,000 Feizhen soldiers lined up, and according to George Vassar’s instructions, they threw guns and other weapons at the designated place. They were immediately escorted to the prisoner-of-war camp by the Continental Army's military police. In the gloomy years, when will we be able to regain freedom depends on the direction of future wars.

At the same time, the Continental Army prisoners of war held in the city were also released, and they were greeted with a warm embrace from their comrades.

Among the liberated prisoners of war, the highest rank was General Charles Gates.

Two years later, the Continental Army followed the army mage, Major Edward Gates, and finally reunited with his father. He rushed up excitedly and embraced the gray-haired, haggard old man warmly. Both father and son couldn't help but burst into tears.

The Battle of Leiden Harbor was undoubtedly the most important battle of the War of Independence so far, and it was also the most brilliant victory of the Continental Army.

At the celebration banquet held that night, Joan and brothers such as Edward, Thomas, Allen, Rebecca, Hailar, Audrey, Conti, Holden, Hailar and Tyndall, and other brothers gathered for a drink and talked about independence. The prospect of war.

Edward and Audrey thought that the temporary victory would not explain much. The Winthrop Corps was defeated, but don’t forget that there is a Henry Clinton. The vast territory from Midgard to Jotunheim is still in the hands of Phoebe. In the hands of real people, the future of the War of Independence is bright, but the road is also tortuous. For at least one or two years, this war cannot be completely distinguished.

Holden and Thomas are more optimistic, believing that the collapse of the Winthrop Corps was a turning point in the War of Independence. Since then, the Continental Army has completely changed from a strategic defense to a strategic offensive. .

Of course, even the optimistic Holden and Thomas admitted that General Henry Clinton was a ruthless character. In the future, under Midgard, there will inevitably be a battle that is more difficult and bloodier than the Battle of Leiden Port!

If the Continental Army loses the Battle of Midgard, the independence revolution may suffer some setbacks, but sooner or later it will have a bright ending.

But if the real Fei loses Midgard City, I'm sorry, he will lose all the colonies on the east coast of the New World in half a year, and he will be forced to lay down and go!

Both the modest and the optimists believe that Fei Zhenren has no spare capacity to support this colonial war across the oceans. The wisest thing is to abandon the vanity of "the sun never sets the empire" and take the initiative to make a request for peace talks with the Continental Army. Perhaps there is still a chance to end this war in a decent way.

Qiao An also felt that negotiations were the best choice for Feizhen's authorities.

If the 20,000 Fibonacci army lay down their weapons and become prisoners in the port of Leiden is not enough to influence the decision-making of Fichen's authorities, it can only show that the ruling group of this country has fallen into a group of irrational gamblers, which is obviously not in line with this. The international image of the Fichen government.
