Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 203 Surrender

"Dear Your Excellency Charles, I am Outluc, the Chief of Foreign Affairs of the Principality of West Connahta, and I, on the orders of King Arrest, negotiate a peace with you..."

"Negotiate peace? Tell us your conditions, Your Excellency Outruck." Charles sat on the back of his war horse, looking down at the nervous enemy official.

"We are willing to withdraw our troops and give your country 20,000 silver coins." West Connahta's foreign affairs chief Outluck said respectfully.

"Retreat?" Charles and Derek burst out laughing, leaving Oteluk in a daze. After a while, Derek couldn't hide his smile and said: "Your army has been besieged with the coalition forces in Pulang Gecheng, even if you want to retreat, you have no chance." Hey, there is a paragraph missing! If you like it, please collect it: () Zhaishuyuan is updated the fastest.

What a horror!

Seeing Oteluk's reaction, Charles jokingly said, "Your Excellency Oteluk, I think your conditions may no longer satisfy me." Damn, there's another paragraph missing! Zhaishuyuan, update the latest chapter as soon as possible!

"My conditions?" Charles sneered, and said lightly: "First, the Principality of West Konnaheta must sever its affiliation with the Republic of Cunha, become a subsidiary of the Kingdom of Winster, and immediately cooperate with the Republic of Cunha and La The Principality of Sik declares war; second, pay 20,000 silver coins as war indemnity; third, send your heirs to the court of Nord City as hostages."

As soon as Charles finished speaking, he saw that Altruk's already pale face became even paler. He was stunned and didn't respond for a long time. Derek frowned and shouted: "This is already a very generous treaty. If you don't Accept it, then solve the problem with war!"

Perhaps it was Derek's scolding that stimulated Orteluk. The middle-aged official opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "I can't decide these treaties. Please allow me to go back and report to the Grand Duke."

"This is your freedom." Charles nodded and agreed to his request, "However, Lord Outruck, I have to regret to tell you that if the answer is not given before the sun rises tomorrow, then, I will directly order the legion to launch a siege, and after the city is broken, the whole city will be razed!" Day, I can't read it anymore! Remember for a second, Zhaishuyuan ().

Orteluk returned to the city like a walking dead. The first time he saw him, Grand Duke Arrest greeted him regardless of his appearance, and asked eagerly: "What do you say? Do they agree to our conditions?"

Hearing this, Altruk forced a smile, but his smile was uglier than crying in the eyes of others, "Your Highness, our army was besieged in Prange City together with the coalition forces, so our conditions were rejected Yes. But the Winston commander made their terms."

"What conditions?" Hearing that the coalition forces were besieged in Prange, Grand Duke Arist's face twitched, but he continued to ask.

"First, we must sever diplomatic relations with the Republic of Kunia, become a subsidiary of the Kingdom of Winster, and declare war on the Republic of Kunia and the Principality of Lasik; second, we must pay 20,000 silver coins; His Highness Seth was sent to Nord City as a hostage..."

"What?!" Grand Duke Arist was shocked and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the guards around him quickly supported him to avoid making a fool of himself.

"Is that really their condition?" he asked.

"That's right, His Royal Highness (Honestly, I don't know what the Grand Duke should be called. It doesn't feel right to call His Majesty, so I can only call him Your Highness, but I bumped into the previous heir of the Principality again...)" Orteluk continued, " In addition, they also said that if we have not given an answer before sunrise tomorrow, they will cut off the negotiation channel, start attacking the city, and after they break through the city, they will raze the entire city to the ground..."

"Damn it, how dare they?" As soon as Ortluke finished speaking, the commander of the Imperial Guard standing beside the Grand Duke was furious.

He said angrily, "His Royal Highness, we should resist tenaciously. Although there are only more than 600 soldiers in the city, we can mobilize the citizens to walk up the city wall and help the soldiers defend the city!"

"Are you crazy? Jasonde, even if the citizens are mobilized, we still can't resist the attack of Winster's army outside the city!" Orteluk retorted.

"How do you know if you don't try? We can't accept such a humiliating treaty!" Jasonde still insisted on his opinion, but he didn't notice that the face of the Archduke Arrest beside him was getting uglier.

"Enough!" Before Altruk could speak, Grand Duke Arist suddenly said loudly, and immediately calmed down the crowd present. He glanced at the surrounding officials, and then looked at the dark enemy army outside the city. , sighed, and said: "Open the city gate, I agree to the terms proposed by the Winsters."

"His Royal Highness..."

"Go ahead, don't you hear, Jasond?" said Arrest.

"I obey..." Jasonde sighed, he couldn't disobey the lord's order, so he could only order the soldiers to open the city gate in a dejected manner.

Looking at the black-and-yellow double-headed eagle flags fluttering in the wind outside the city, Grand Duke Arist didn't know whether his decision was correct. He and his family had surrendered to the Kunians for more than a hundred years. No matter how excessive the suzerain country was, they did not dare to raise their thoughts of rebellion, but now, for the sake of the whole country and the residents of Loiret, he could only submit to the iron hooves of the Winsters.

More than half an hour later, the city gate of Loiret opened again. In the eyes of everyone outside the city, Grand Duke Areste of West Connachta walked out of the city gate with his family members and officials, flying on the city wall. The flag of the Principality also slowly fell, and Charles knew that they had surrendered.

"Congratulations, Earl, you conquered this country without a single soldier!" Derek congratulated his general.

"Haha! This is just a small starting point. Starting today, under the leadership of His Majesty Caesar, we will conquer more countries!" Charles seemed elated, and then he opened his throat and shouted loudly:

"Stop making siege equipment, soldiers, let's enter the city!"

"Enter the city!"

Amidst the cheers of the Danish Legion, Charles, the commander of the Legion, rode his horse first and walked towards the city gate. Behind him were the officers and cavalry of all levels of the Legion, and finally the infantry with high morale.

The black-and-yellow double-headed eagle flag held high by the soldiers was even more majestic at this moment. It fluttered in the wind, and the hunting sound it made was like the trembling of a double-headed eagle.
