The army of the Rock Empire collapsed, and it was already ten days ago. The remaining Rock Empire forces began to retreat on all fronts, relinquishing the city of Soth and abandoning all plans of attack.

Faulk retreated a long, long distance with his defeated troops, almost a few dozen kilometers, and abandoned almost all the villages and towns along the way.

It was only after retreating to the city in the rear that these routs stopped their retreat. They began to frantically build ballistas, fortify their walls, and stock up on bows and arrows and food.

Although all these things they do are futile and useless, it can make their hearts feel more comfortable, or at least increase their sense of security.

With a sense of security, the Rock Empire has contacted the Flame Empire and the Long River Empire, and is waiting for the feedback from these empires.

The Flame Empire has persuaded the Holy See to send the Holy Cult Army to help the Rock Empire, and the Flame Empire has also mobilized troops to help, and the first batch of 10,000 troops have entered the territory of the Rock Empire at this time.

Because of this series of favorable relations, the ministers of the Rock Empire, as well as the emperor, felt that they had a new opportunity and could continue to wait.

It's a pity that what they don't know is that the one who gave them the opportunity to wait was actually the Ranhill Empire. Instead of taking the initiative to attack, Burrison began to consolidate his own occupation zone.

The Tempest Empire, which already controls most of it, still has some unstable factors, and it will take time to consolidate, and the forward force of the Irlanhill Empire is too small for the vast territory.

They lacked enough troops to defend the entire occupied area, so they had to wait, waiting for the outcome of the waiters sent out to persuade the other side to surrender honestly.

But in fact, Lu Man, the messenger, was not qualified, and he did not let the Rock Empire surrender immediately, but wasted a lot of precious time.

On the palatial hall, the emperor of the Rock Empire sat in his place, looking at Lu Man at the bottom of the steps, his face was very ugly.

He really didn't expect that the messenger sent by the other party would be Lu Man, a bastard who surrendered! That damn guy who lost the city of Soth and affected the entire course of the war!

Right now? He really wanted to order this bastard in front of him to be pulled out and cut down? But reason forced him to suppress his anger and restrain his emotions.

Luman standing on the main hall? He opened his mouth and continued to those ministers, as well as Fauck and others: "Your Majesty! You've seen the power of the Ellanhill Empire? In the face of such a powerful country, choose to submit? Isn't that the best outcome? ”

"We've talked about this before, although I also think it's irrational to start a war? But what are your conditions? It's just too hard to accept. "Very displeased," said the emperor of the Rock Empire with a wave of his hand.

His words made many ministers deeply agree, and if the other party gave some conditions such as land reparations, they still felt that this matter was not negotiable.

After all, the other party is really strong? Can't afford to mess with it? How about it better to just give up the city of Soth to the other party, and by the way, offer some jewels, gold and silver, and end the war?

According to the idea of the Rock Empire, the other party who has obtained the benefits should go to the trouble of the Flame Empire and the Long River Empire.

But the script was not written according to this? The conditions brought by Lu Man did leave the Rock Empire without any room for compromise.

For royalty? Would you rather fight to the last soldier than give up the entire empire easily? Without even struggling, he relinquished his power.

What's more? Now it looks like the situation is also in favor of the Rock Empire? They held their line? I was almost waiting for my own reinforcements.

The Emperor of the Rock Empire, whose situation is getting better and better, is even more unlikely to accept this condition of abdicating and giving way to Xian, so he doesn't even bother to pretend to be helpless now, and simply perfunctory Lu Man.

But Lu Man had no choice, he hadn't completed the task given to him by the Orchid Hill Empire, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "The Rock Empire must accept all the conditions, this is the condition for the Orchid Hill Empire to end the war!" Your Majesty! ...... in the face of great power"

He also knew now that he had almost lost the trust that the Ranhil Empire had given him. More than ten days were wasted, and there was no progress at all.

"Enough! Say no more! I think you should go back and ask the person who is called the Ranhil Empire, and ask them to change their conditions! This time, without His Majesty the Emperor of the Rock Empire speaking, a minister of the Rock Empire stood up and scolded.

Lu Man, who was interrupted, still didn't open his mouth again to bring humiliation on himself. Because he knew that this time, he had no hope of completing the task anyway.

So he glanced at General Fokk, who was standing there without saying a word, and then looked at his former monarch with regretful eyes.

Eventually, he shook his head, sighed, and walked out of the hall that looked quite splendid.

……

"We seem to be underestimated...... "Standing at the head of Soth City, Marven said to Burrison, who was standing beside him, "We have taken a fancy to the population here and this rich planet, but the other party actually thinks that our kindness is taken for granted." ”

"Yes, we think we shouldn't make too much hatred and restrain our own force, but the other party obviously doesn't appreciate it." Burrison nodded and said, "I have sent two troops to attack each other's two cities, and if there is no accident, they will soon find that their struggle is pointless." ”

While the two of them were talking, the elem robot troops of the Irlanhill Empire had already poured into the head of a city of the Rock Empire.

On top of the city wall, next to a ballista that had been turned into a part, the corpses of a dozen local city guard soldiers lay on the ground.

A puppet stood by with his assault rifle in his hand, watching the defenders crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands.

In less than an hour, the city was completely occupied, with the golden eagle banner symbolizing the Orchid Hill Empire hanging on the walls, and the walls filled with puppet robots with weapons in their hands.

Most of the civilians have been removed, and less than half remain. These old and sick people who had no time to leave looked at the black golden eagle banner on the city wall in horror, hiding in their respective houses and refusing to come out.

And the attacking puppet robot troops, except for some food and weapons found here, got almost nothing.
