Chapter 197: Surrender with Heart
Moses was assigned to the manticore, and although it was only a first-order demonic beast, he also envied the more than a thousand city guards.
By the way, the Frost Spider was assigned to Amber, the leader of the new crossbowmen, while the Money Rat was temporarily stationed at an outpost to be assigned to the rabbi when he returned!
"All of them!" Moses rode a manticore-tailed lion in front of the barracks, hovering proudly, "Array!"
"Hah!!" The morale of the city guards was amazing, and 1,800 people lined up in unison. It was as if the earth trembled in their voices!
"Raise your shield!"
"Hah!!"
"Slash!"
"Hah!!"
"Dodge!"
"Hah!!"
"Slash!"
"Hah!!"
Under Moses' command, the city guards trained in fairly standard postures.
In the prison next door, the prisoners of war watched through the windows when they heard the sound of the city guards training outside.
"Oh my God! Brand new weapons, and a whole set of iron armor!"
"Nearly two thousand people, each with a complete set of iron armor......!
"The master here is too rich, isn't he? No one but His Majesty the King can arm an army so lavishly, right?"
"And they've just taken refuge, and the owner here is really generous!"
"It's not a matter of generosity, is it?
"I'm so envious~"
"Damn! If it weren't for the fact that my family was in the City of Light, I would have wanted to join them!"
"Oh my God! If I could have such a set of equipment, it would be worth dying!"
"Look! General Moses, he's riding a monster!"
"That's right! it's the one General Dolma rode before!"
"Did General Dolma actually give all the monsters to General Moses?"
"Don't you know? I heard that General Dolma has obtained an even more powerful second-order demonic beast!"
"Second-order demonic beasts as mount pets, this kind of treatment is simply heroic!"
"Heroic treatment? Do you know that those heroes can have a first-order demonic beast as a mount and die happily!"
"In such a place, even if the Xiongfeng Empire pours out all the troops of the whole country, I'm afraid it won't be able to win, right?"
"You're thinking too much! That giant dragon alone is enough to fight against the entire Majestic Wind Empire!"
"We have no chance of winning!"
"What should I do?"
"It would be nice if we could join here!But what about our families? If we betray Guangming City, the city lord will definitely be angry! It doesn't matter if those people outside are orphans, but our family members are all in Guangming City!"
"I believe that it won't be long before this place will definitely send troops to occupy Guangming City, right?"
"If there really is a day, I will surrender, as long as I can reunite my family!"
"Yes, as long as our families are safe, we are willing to surrender! Who doesn't want to follow the strong?"
"And the food for the prisoners here is better than what we eat in the City of Light!"
"We can't compare at all! What we eat in the City of Light is dry, hard, unpalatable bread. But there are plenty of fish and meat here every day! Even for the prisoners, the soldiers outside eat better! I saw them drinking honey just now, and the sweet taste made my mouth water!"
"Ah~ If the city lord of Guangming City surrenders, then we will automatically be merged under the command of this lord, and we can also enjoy their treatment!"
"yes, maybe we'll have a chance to get the Monster Mount!"
"Then you have to make a lot of military achievements, or become a general, right?"
......
The more than 1,000 city guard captives in the cell were full of discussions, almost all of them in a one-sided form.
"The soldier's heart is floating!" Leo listened to it and let out a long sigh, "Originally, the treatment of soldiers in Guangming City was good, but when you compare it here, the difference is too great! The city lord usually gives small favors and small favors, but the result is still the same! If it weren't for their families in Guangming City, I'm afraid they would all surrender immediately!"
"Yes!" Michael looked out the window at Moses, who was proudly training the soldiers, and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I was moved to see their new equipment and the monsters that Moses was riding!
"But our family is in the City of Light, how can we give up?" Leo looked up and sighed, "It's better to have a better life for the dead in the battle, at least the city lord will give you a compensation." However, if we surrender to the enemy, the castle lord's wrath will surely implicate our family. ”
"Yes, we didn't have as much comfort as Moses and Dolma. They just have to take care of themselves......"
"Rest!!" Moses stopped training as he spoke in frustration. On his orders, the city guards all returned to the barracks.
At the end of the training, he rode the manticore lion and walked around, just passing by the prison bars, and greeted the two colleagues: "Leo, Michael, are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable in prison, just bring it up." Master Keane is as good as he is, and he will definitely try to make improvements!"
"No need!" Leo was a little frustrated, "You're proud now......"
"Actually, you can too!" said Moses, "join Lord Keane with the best equipment, the best food, and the most powerful mounts!
"You also know it's impossible!" Michael snorted coldly, and moved his hands tied behind him in frustration, "Unlike you, we are all people who have families in Guangming City! If we surrender, the city lord will definitely kill all our families! We are not as free as you, we can be unrestrained and do not have to worry about anything! Only by being loyal to Guangming City can our families be better taken care of!"
"That's right, we would rather die than surrender, our family will be able to live a better life and get a very good subsidy!" Leo sighed, "but if we surrender, we will kill them immediately!"
"That sounds reasonable...... Moses nodded.
"What do you mean?" said Leo, "no one wants to fight against a dragon!
"We are not afraid of death, and if death can make our family live a better life, we are willing!" said Michael exclaimed.
"A better life?" said Moses, shaking his head, "just a few silver coins a month?"
"It's enough for them!" Leo sighed.
"Well, I have an idea, why don't you listen to it? We're all good friends, and I want to help you!" Moses began.
"What do you think?" Leo and Michael pricked up their ears.
"So, so......" Moses leaned over the window and whispered to them the plan he had in mind.
