In May of the 6th year of the year of Ellenhill, the northern corps of the puppet empire surrounded by Dorai was full of mourning, and they abandoned the capital of the Eternal Empire, Karan Mix, but still could not return to their homeland smoothly.

Although they are now separated from their country by a central inland sea, this huge freshwater lake is called the sea because it is unimaginably large.

Originally, General Gussen hoped that relying on Dorai, he could smoothly mobilize ships to transport troops and return to the puppet empire.

But what he never expected was that the northeast region of the puppet empire would collapse so quickly that now there was no energy left to care about the life and death of the northern corps on Dorai's side.

The entire northeast of the puppet empire burned out in a matter of days - the fires not only destroyed the forests, but also destroyed the supply points on which the puppet empires depended, paralyzed mobile cities, and collapsed the empire's economy.

Then, a devastating blow to resources caused the production of the puppet empire to collapse, and now even the Grand Magister of Telavish is helpless against the collapse of the puppet empire, let alone draw up the strength to rescue the northern corps far away in the northern ports of the Central Inland Sea.

Goussen was desperate now, and even more desperate when he learned that the fleet stationed in the Central Inland Sea had been bombed by Iran Hill's bombers and almost completely annihilated.

There are not enough ships, and even small sailing ships will be intercepted by patrolling Iran Hill fighters.

The dragon knights could only flee on their own, desperately losing some to force the middle inland sea - but after all, no matter how many dragon knights there were, they were still a minority, and the main force of the northern corps was still dominated by ground troops.

High-level magicians can also fight for losses and fly away, but don't the troops who stay really want to? Just throw it away in Dorai and leave these hundreds of thousands of people to fend for themselves?

"Just surrender...... We can be regarded as fighting for the country until now, and it is Tel Wishish who cares about our life or death first, so it is no wonder that we are not interested. A magician stood behind Gussen and excitedly suggested.

Gusen held his hand on the battlements in the wall in front of him, looked at his own defensive position submerged in a fog in the distance, and was silent and did not speak, no one knew what he was thinking.

He retreated here with his troops along the way, giving up too much, but it was also the greatest possible preservation of the northern corps of the puppet empire.

It seems that the army of millions of puppets has suffered heavy losses, and now even counting the puppets adds up to less than 500,000, but these 500,000 troops still retain a high combat effectiveness.

As the core of the troops, the high-level mage unit Gussen has not been wasted, and he has been pinching the few remaining high-level mages in the puppet empire to avoid colliding with the main force of Iran Hill.

Counting some human veterans who survived the first battle, the combat effectiveness of this core main force of 200,000 people can be regarded as the strongest in the puppet empire.

But right now, it is such a main force that has been hidden by Gu Sen and retained until now, but there is no way to enter the sky and no door to enter the earth, and it is about to be destroyed.

"Aren't we sinners of the country just surrendering?" Seeing that Gu Sen didn't speak, another magician behind him took over and said coldly: "Our homeland has been destroyed, we don't take revenge, fight to the death with the enemy, but choose to surrender humbly, this is the act of a coward!" ”

"Why are you a coward? If we have reinforcements, reinforcements, and even as long as there are puppets to replenish, I won't recommend surrendering! What now? We don't have anything, what to take to fight? Not to be outdone, the magician who proposed to surrender immediately retorted.

These days, the debate has been going on and on. Some people want to fight to the end, while others feel that they should take advantage of the situation and choose to surrender.

The reasons for both sides also sound very reasonable, and it is impossible to make a decision for a while. It was in this environment that Goosen hesitated and didn't know what to do.

Just yesterday, a sail transport called the River was sunk by an Il-2 attack aircraft less than 3 kilometers from the port of Dolai. This is the 136th transport ship that the puppet empire has sunk in the past three days.

The ship was full of more than 300 soldiers, and Gussen's distress has not been relieved to this day - these soldiers are veterans of battle, and each of them is a valuable treasure, a good thing that cannot be easily discarded.

While these people were arguing, Gussen's mind was full of thoughts about this matter, and he was thinking about how to reduce the losses and transport the troops who followed him and trusted him to the other side as soon as possible, so that they could get out of danger.

"Transmit the message sent by the magic orb...... Sir...... Our National ...... It's split in two...... an officer ran over in a panic, and in the midst of the chaos of the crowd arguing, handed a transcription to Gussen, and opened his mouth to report.

His voice was not loud, but it suddenly quieted the scene. Everyone looked at each other, and then realized that the puppet empire they were loyal to was now in trouble.

"What a joke! How could the Grand Magister of Telavish sit back and watch such a thing happen? A magician couldn't believe this fact and questioned, "This news must be fake!" ”

"I don't know, that guy in Tel Avish doesn't have time to care about our lives and deaths right now, what is he going to do with those people who have rebelled?" Grabbing the document and looking at the message, a magician spoke.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the countries that fought for it before have now become two, and the northern corps led by Gusen now has a new question: which puppet empire should it be loyal to?

"Silence, gentlemen!" Gu Sen looked at his chaotic subordinates, and finally spoke: "Listen to me!" ”

After the scene was completely quiet, he continued: "I have decided to allow everyone to decide their own destiny. ”

"If the dragon knight is willing to cross the Middle Inland Sea, he can take off and return to the puppet empire as soon as this order is given...... Of course, you're dealing with an interception by the Ellan Hill fighter jets, so consider that. As he said this, he looked at the commander of the dragon knight in armor.

"And the dragon knights who are willing to stay, I'll arrange them together later!" After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the high-level magicians: "High-level magicians, just like the dragon knights!" If you are willing to leave, then you can leave. ”

"The rest, those who are willing to surrender, I will order them to lay down their arms and surrender." When Gusen said this, he looked at the generals who were in charge of commanding the ground forces: "The order was given by me, the commander-in-chief, and your reputation will not be damaged." ”

"After that, if there are still people who are not willing to leave, they are not willing to lay down their arms. I will sign the order and hand over my command, and these people can continue to stay here and fight in the name of ......" After he finished speaking, he showed a helpless wry smile: "And I personally will choose to surrender." ”

This passage is something he has been thinking about recently, after seeing the strength of Iran Hill, and understanding the weakness of the puppet empire, he felt that it was a very stupid thing to sacrifice so many people in vain, so he had already considered surrendering.

What made him hesitate until now, and what he hadn't made up his mind about was nothing more than the sense of honor of the soldiers, and the motherland that he couldn't let go.

But now that the motherland has fallen apart, his loyalty has become a joke. So he finally made up his mind and chose the path he had considered countless times a long time ago.

"General! You...... No...... You can't do that! Several of the main battle magicians were still a little unwilling and wanted to open their mouths to persuade something.

But they were soon drowned out by the voices of another group of people, and the magicians and commanders who had long since stopped fighting were all praising General Gusen's wisdom and wisdom, and only a few of them walked out with their heads bowed.

Eventually, some people chose to leave and return to their native puppet empire - despite the perilous path, they still did not stay behind and surrender to Ellan Hill with Goosen.

Soon, the lake in the Middle Inland Sea was densely packed with mages and dragon knights flying southward, and then a spectacular aerial safari in Irlanhill began.

In the space of three days, there were 30 more Super Ace Pilots and more than 100 more Ace Pilots in Alan Hill - they shot down more than 1,090 Dragon Knights and killed more than 130 high-level magicians.

"Whoa!" A puppet Empire soldier dropped his Mauser 98K rifle in his hand in a mountain of rifles and walked towards the Iran Hill soldier who was being searched with his head in his hands.

Behind him, another soldier of the puppet empire also threw his weapon on the side of the road, his expression slightly depressed, and he nervously followed his comrade-in-arms.

Having received the order to surrender, they finally no longer had to be harassed by endless shelling, nor did they have to sleep in the cold trenches.

These soldiers, who defeated the million-strong army of the Eternal Empire along the way and occupied the capital of the Eternal Empire, Karammix, inexplicably began to retreat and flee all the way, and finally were surrounded and surrendered in Dolai......

Theoretically, none of them had experienced a single decent defeat, and they became prisoners of the enemy in a daze. However, many people breathed a sigh of relief, because being a captive did not seem to be a bad thing for them.

On this day in May, after holding out for more than twenty days longer than the Eastern Advance Corps, the last elite of the puppet empire, which was encircled in the northern corps of Dorai, surrendered to Lester with dignity under the leadership of its commander, General Goussen.
