The glory of victory belongs only to the winner.

For losers, even if they gain dignity, it is still difficult to feel joy from it. Compared to Ideal City and Dawn City, Eagle City seemed a little quiet just after nightfall.

Although the name of the ceasefire agreement is called the Eagle City Agreement, this agreement has nothing to do with the Eagle Kingdom, and has never considered the interests of the Eagle Kingdom. However, for the nobles here, this does not mean that it is completely Bad things.

The supreme Triumph City finally took action. Although it did not send a large number of troops to help them regain their ground, it at least spared them the shame of surrendering as a defeated country. As for Bicester Town.

That stupid place was not in Oasis No. 2 in the first place. It was something that General Klaas insisted on forcing on them from the beginning. If the Alliance wants it, just take it. They are not the ones losing anyway.

Only the citizens in the capital, or to be more precise, the young men who were dismissed and returned to their fields, would feel indignant at such a result. They fought an unquestionable war and gained nothing but scars and disabilities. Many of them also lost their property and even their close relatives. In the end, even the master riding on top of their heads remained the same king, and the people holding the rope were still the Wilantes. What's even more hateful is that those Wilantes didn't give them any compensation!! The meeting hall of the castle.

The representatives of all parties took away the satisfactory agreement, and the royal room finally returned to its king. There are only a few guest rooms left to recapture the entire castle.

A group of well-dressed nobles sat here, and the residual warmth on the chairs made them feel more dignified, as if the noon negotiations were related to them. "So the alliance finally gave up on Oasis No. 2." "It seems so."

“I don’t know what impact this will have on the situation in the desert.”

"Can the citizens' self-governing committee be disbanded? Those pigs are yelling about treason all day long, and they are also getting together with those deserters!" "Maybe the Weirant people can help us solve this trouble."

"Ah" Weilant people, I hope they will stop dragging us into fighting unprepared battles. "The governor who came this time should be okay. I feel like that idiot Kras is much better." "Looking at the whispering nobles in the meeting hall, King Mongot's face showed neither sadness nor joy. For him, it was just a new master, and it made no difference whether it was a legion or an alliance.

It would be better to say that the Legion is easier to get along with. At least those Wilantes rarely touch the cake in the hands of the royal family. As long as they are obedient, it is enough. At this time, a man with a stern face strode in.

His hair was dry and his skin was rough. His years of service had made his originally young and handsome face look older, and even had signs of wind and frost that should not have existed at his age.

"Your Majesty, the person in charge of the William Industrial Zone reported to me that the Alliance Army moved away almost all the equipment in the park, especially the Royal Foundry, and even took away the engineers and technical workers in the factory, including their families."

William's tone was filled with resentment, and he almost said this through gritted teeth.

He valued the importance of industry more than any nobleman. Although those machines that were full of engine oil smell could not produce honey or milk, they could help them rob wider land. Especially after this war, he became even more convinced that only industry could save the kingdom.

It is precisely because of this that after the alliance released him yesterday, he left Bicester Town without even caring about the remnants of the soldiers, and only took a group of light cavalry to the industrial zone he founded. However, when he got there, the situation inside made him

Fell into despair.

The league moved almost everything they could.

Apart from a few empty factories and warehouses, there was not a single hair left for him in the huge park. Taking a deep breath, he tried to control his emotions and continued with a trembling voice.

"I implore you to see Mr. Governor and ask him to put pressure on the Alliance to return the looted equipment and people to us." After hearing the child's request, Mongot sighed slowly and said helplessly.

"Mr. Governor will not help us. He even gave Griffin's equipment to the alliance. The war is over, kid, and the cake that deserves to be divided has been divided. Today we will only discuss the future.

There was one thing he didn't say.

Not only are they not qualified to share the cake, they are even the cake themselves. William gritted his teeth.

"Then at least those craftsmen shouldn't be returned to us as prisoners? They keep saying that slavery will be abolished, so we shouldn't capture them as slaves, right?"

King Mongot was silent for a moment.

"That manager really didn't do everything right. William was overjoyed to have regained hope. "That" Menggot sighed.

"They gave the prisoners free reign to decide whether to stay or go.

William was stunned on the spot.

The nobles in front of the conference table were whispering, and Earl Cromway couldn't help but cursed and knocked his fist on the table. “This group of robbers arrived early the next morning.

Taote, wearing a crisp formal suit, arrived at the building of the Citizens' Autonomous Committee early, said hello to the doorman, and then went to the office humming a tune.

This was originally the house of the tax bureau. After the alliance moved the account books here, the old men with their noses in the air did not dare to come back, so this big house was given to them.

Ever since he became the chairman here, Taut felt that his identity was different from the past.

Especially the respectful and fearful eyes of the nobles when they looked at him made him feel as if he had become a noble without a title. Even the king dared not let him salute.

In order to show his unique status, he specially found a tailor who made clothes for His Majesty the King and asked him to make a unique hat for himself. Of course, unlike those nobles, he was paid.

Looking at the hat with colorful feathers on the table, Taote liked it more and more. He put it on his head happily and played with it in front of the mirror.

However, at this moment, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open. As soon as he looked up, he saw his secretary walking in in a panic. A trace of displeasure was written on Taote's face.

"Didn't I tell you to knock on the door?"

Looking at Taote who looked unhappy, the secretary said in a dumbfounded voice. "Don't worry about it. Something bad is going to happen. The Alliance people are gone!"

Taote suddenly stood up from his chair, holding his hands on the table, his round eyes widening. "The alliance has to leave"

The secretary nodded nervously and said dumbfounded. "They returned to the airship early this morning. Although the airship has not yet left, they have already put away the anchor chain. He instantly lost interest in the hat on his head. Taote pulled it off and threw it aside. He stood up and walked to the secretary He asked anxiously. "Did they tell you anything after they left? What should we do in the future? Should we listen to the Weirant people or the king?"

The administrator's indifference to them made him feel a little frightened. Thinking of the looks that the nobles looked at him on the execution ground, his spine began to feel cold.

The secretary hesitated for a moment and then spoke hesitantly.

"They say that people need to save themselves after all. They have already been here, and the rest is up to us." Taut looked at the secretary in front of him in confusion. I came here on my own

Looking at the hat he finally made on the table and the gun he leaned against the window sill, he just wanted to cry. Looking at the confused chairman, the secretary sighed, but they were the same person. Grasshopper on a rope. For the sake of his own life and for the sake of his family, he still said patiently.

"Actually, things are far from that bad. The citizens are on our side. There are many veterans among them. They hate the Valantians more than the Alliance. If we can unite them, maybe we will become a powerful force. the power of."

"What's the use of uniting those people?" Taut felt irritated in his heart.

He knew better than anyone that those guys were a bunch of rabble, and I was afraid they would be put on the gallows with just an order from His Majesty the King. The secretary lowered his voice and continued.

"You have to try to see if it works. The Wilantes don't have many guns in their hands right now. The newly arrived governor doesn't know anything about this place. They need us to cooperate with them, whether it's military or economic. We just need to make peace with them." , using their power to check the palace, they may not mind that there are two kings in this kingdom. Taut calmed down. This is indeed a good idea.

The Citizen Autonomous Committees are representatives of various industries. More than half of the city's handicrafts and industrial production are related to them. The nobles can only contribute a little food from their own manors and land.

Unless the governor only wanted to be a big landowner, he would not easily touch a group of nobles who he had just met.

The most important thing is that there is still a chance to survive if he gives it a try. If he does nothing, he will definitely die. "Convene a meeting of all committee members and representatives." The secretary breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes sir."

While the Citizens' Autonomous Committee was busy meeting, there was also a lively scene in Bicester Town, which was far away in the middle of No. 2 Oasis. On the roadside outside the east gate, Wedelir hugged the cement block beside the road and said with tears in his eyes as he looked at the two soldiers walking towards him.

"I'm not going anywhere! This is my home! I have dedicated my life to this place, and I want to stay here!" A tall soldier joked with a smile. "Wouldn't it be better to go back and be your baron?" Another soldier also said with a smile.

"That's right, don't you have a Zhuangzi? Go back and be your master."

However, what the two of them didn't expect was that Wedlier's reaction became even more intense, and his crying voice even contained a hint of begging.

"I don't want to be a civilian," he joked. How could he go back?

Surrendering to the Alliance without resistance is already a capital crime, not to mention that he directly became the Alliance's lackey. Those who returned did not hate him. Especially the meaningful look in Prince William's eyes when he left

At that time, he just felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. He was so frightened that he sent people to Oasis No. 2 overnight to pick up his whole family.

If he had known that the Alliance was not planning to occupy Oasis No. 2, he would never have licked it so hard. But who can imagine such a thing?

With the way the alliance fought, they almost leveled the entire Eagle Kingdom!!!

The two Alliance soldiers looked at each other and felt that they couldn't let him be embarrassed here, so they walked up and pulled him up. "stand up."

"You can keep it if you want, no one will care about you, but don't block the way."

Wedelier felt happy. "You really won't drive me away." The soldier gave him a disgusted look.

"The manager said that if you want to leave, you can go back by yourself, and if you want to stay, it's up to you. That gentleman has no time to take care of you."

Hearing this, Wedelir finally burst into laughter, let go of the cement block with a chuckle, patted his butt, and returned to the town gratefully. Not far from where he blocked the way, an officer from the Union Second Corps walked through the barbed wire fence, walked up to a group of prisoners sitting on the ground, took out his trumpet and shouted loudly. "The war is over, you can go home." Officers above centurion had been released yesterday, and most people had no idea about ceasefire negotiations. People looked at each other in shock at first, and then one after another stood up.

A group of people passed through the open gate on the west and headed toward the wilderness. Seeing that the Union soldiers did not fire, they continued to move forward.

There are fewer and fewer people in the clearing. Environmental health and hygiene

A large number of people chose to leave, but many others went in the opposite direction.

Several Eagle Kingdom soldiers walked to the inspection post. One of them, a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, looked at the Alliance soldiers and said, "I don't want to go back." The Alliance soldiers looked at him. "Why"

Preparation for new curriculum standards

The young man hesitated and said.

"I have nowhere to go," the soldier continued. "Where are your relatives?"

The young man was silent for a while and whispered.

"My father and my brother both passed away, and last month" my mother also passed away. Let me stay, I can work. "

Before the boy could finish his words, another hand was raised from behind him and he spoke.

"And I, too, am strong and can carry things."

"I used to farm! I can do farm work!" There were echoing shouts from behind, and he was obviously not the only one who wanted to stay. Some people who had originally walked to the door hesitantly heard what was coming over there. After the movement, he stopped unconsciously. Although they didn't stay in the prisoner of war camp for a long time, if they think about it carefully, the alliance gave them a pretty good feeling.

Those people didn't whip them for fun just because they won. The only thing they forced them to do was to repair the shacks they lived in. What particularly surprised the captives was that the alliance actually gave them some of the food they had stolen from the Wilantes.

This is simply unbelievable in the eyes of many of them. Those Weirant people had never treated them as human beings, nor did the nobles of the kingdom, but in the prisoner-of-war camp, they unexpectedly treated them as human beings for a few days.

Even though they knew that the enemy was definitely not well-intentioned in doing so, they couldn't help but feel despair about the life after returning when they thought about the attitude of those nobles towards them. More and more people gathered around the inspection post, and the soldiers on duty had to fire warning shots into the sky. At the same time, a sentry trotted to the superior to ask for instructions. Before long, there was an extra table in the camp.

Wedelier, who had runny nose and tears before, was arranged to sit in front of the table, holding a loudspeaker and started shouting loudly. "If you don't want to leave, come here to register! Think it through before writing your name!" There was a long queue in front of the table.

Some prisoners of war who originally planned to leave hesitated for a moment, but finally stayed, including some junior officers with the title of captain of ten.

In this way, as of noon, the prisoners stranded near Bicester Town had been demobilized, and 40% of the more than 80,000 soldiers were left behind, a total of more than 30,000.

Heart of Steel.

Standing in the bridge, Chu Guang received a call from Liu Ding, commander of the Second Corps stationed in Bicester Town. After listening to his report, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel surprised on his face. "More than 30,000 people stayed."

He originally expected that there would be around 10,000 people, which would be great, but he didn't expect that more than 30,000 people would be left behind! What puzzled Chu Guang was that, after thinking for a long time, he didn't remember what he thought about those prisoners of war. Where is the better. How unworthy are the nobles of the Eagle Kingdom.

Counting the engineers and their families taken away from the William Industrial Area by the Storm Troops, the population of Bicester Town is probably 40,000.

Although there will be no short-term impact, after all, the Alliance has collected a lot of supplies from the Horn Castle and the front line, but in the long run, there will definitely be problems with the supply of food and water there. Sensing the administrator's embarrassment, Liu Ding asked in a deep voice. "Do you want to deal with part of it?" "That's not necessary." Chu Guang coughed.

"If they want to stay, let them stay."

Everyone had already stayed voluntarily, and it would look stingy for him to drive them away again.

Moreover, Bicester Town, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the alliance, can serve as a flag of the alliance in Luoxia Province. If it develops well, it will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the image of the alliance. The only problem is that it is all sand, there is no "river embankment", and there are no expensive strategic resources. The only value is probably its location. If agriculture cannot be developed, then industry can only be developed.

The military production lines moved from the Eagle Kingdom can be moved to Oasis No. 3 next door, which is within the Honey Badger Kingdom. As for the civilian production line, part of it can be left in Bicester Town, where there is enough labor to work. At present, both the Honey Badger Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom are in urgent need of post-war reconstruction. The demand for some industrial products is still considerable. There is a young labor force and the equipment required for production. It may be a bit difficult to make a fortune, but to support yourself It shouldn't be a big problem.

"!! Let the Lion Kingdom Army leave the extra supplies before withdrawing, including food, water and clothes. Winter is coming soon, and the temperature in the desert is not low. Don't let people freeze to death." Paused After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

"After that, I will appoint an official to serve as the local governor, and transfer a batch of supplies from Qingquan City. As for now, you first organize them into four construction corps, organize them to build their own houses, and don't let them I'm free. Liu Ding put his right hand on his chest, stood at attention and answered. "Yes"

Considering that Liu Ding was a rough man and knew nothing about urban planning and management, Chu Guang patiently explained some details of building a new settlement. For example, the center of the settlement is placed east of the airport, and zoning is reserved for the development of business and industry.

The ideal group of the company will provide technical support in the recycling of cement debris and road construction. The alliance does not need to worry about road construction. Chu Guang planned to set aside a foreign exchange budget of 100 million Cr, and after the governor of the alliance arrived, he would purchase equipment from Ideal City based on local actual needs. Not long after he finished explaining these things, the acting captain happened to come to him from outside the bridge and gave him a military salute. "Report! As of now, all units have boarded the ship, the anchor chain has been stowed, and the ship is ready to set off at any time!" "Very good."

Taking one last look at the sun-drenched survivor colony outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Chu Guang's lips curled up into a faint smile. It's finally time to say goodbye.

King Mongot and the nobles must have opened the champagne excitedly.

But they will soon discover that it is too early for them to rejoice.

Including the new governor.

Those people will soon discover the "surprise" the Alliance has left for them

As for what this surprise will eventually grow into, it will take time to test that the people living here will eventually have to decide their own future destiny.

For himself, the war in Rongxia Province has come to an end, and there are more important things waiting for him to do now. Looking away from the window, Chu Guang looked at the acting captain standing aside, "Let's set off."

The captain gave a neat military salute. "yes"

Just as the Heart of Steel was advancing towards the desert, the Battlefield Atmosphere Group, which was far away in a latrine in Far West City, happened to be back on the line. Until the Heart of Steel set sail, he did not wait for the next instruction from the administrator.

"Did Grandma Te's guys forget about me?" Didi cursed as she lifted up her pants, pretended to press the button to flush the bucket, and walked outside.

Since Grigren's death, he has followed the 50,000th team and evacuated to Far West City, which is located in the northwest of Oasis No. 2, to pass the boring time with the people of Weiland who are waiting to go home.

With the ceasefire agreement taking effect, the "Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Miles" expansion pack has officially come to an end, and the rewards for the expansion pack were settled last night. Due to the heavyweight information he provided previously, he has undoubtedly become the strongest person with the highest personal score in the expansion pack! And he is far ahead of the second place by 50,000 points. But what's the use?

Although a bunch of valuable treasures were drawn, no matter how good the equipment was, there was no chance to use it.

Several of his good brothers were afraid of wasting it and wanted to use it for him first, but he refused without hesitation without even thinking about it! What a joke! That was the treasure he had sacrificed his life for, how could he let those guys The shit was taken away! If my grandson, who is the most naughty, had taken it, there wouldn’t even be any scum left when he came back.

Just when the battlefield boss was thinking about who to stay for a while, a familiar person not far away influenced him to come over. He raised his head and looked over there, and saw that the man walking in the distance was actually his immediate superior, Captain Velichan. The war veteran didn't feel any surprise, he just felt it was troublesome. This guy has been getting close to him lately.

Maybe it was because he was too busy after the defeat, or maybe it was to show that he valued himself. In the past, this person would ask his subordinates to give him a message, but now he would sneak into his tent uninvited whenever he had something to do, which made him very upset. It's uncomfortable and annoying.

Obviously it's the same this time. This guy probably came over again to ask for help. The war veteran even suspected that he had been waiting outside the latrine for a while.

Subtotal

Just when the battlefield boss was about to take the initiative to say a few words, Velici, who was walking nearby, suddenly pulled him aside with a mysterious look on his face, "I have a good errand." ".What errand?"

Looking at General Velich with a smile on his face, Edge Paddling instinctively became alert. Now that the battle is over, you won't have to assassinate anyone anymore, right?

However, just when he was thinking this, Velic's next words stunned him on the spot.

"According to the ceasefire agreement, we will send two representatives to Vault 0 to investigate the legendary ruins with the enterprise, college and alliance."

"The Governor nominated his direct line commander Wali to go there. However, Wali is a professional officer. Considering the dangers that may be encountered in the ruins, he needs a powerful follower to serve as a guard. After hearing the needs of the Governor, I thought of you immediately."

As he spoke, Velic stretched out his hand, patted the good comrade Pangolin in front of him on the shoulder, and cast an encouraging look at him with a smile. "This is not just my suggestion, General Yali is also very optimistic about your strength and seize this opportunity.

"I'm optimistic about you"
