Chapter 180: Except 2 and Stay 3
120,000 is indeed a huge number, but the sun does not set on the side is not vegetarian, the remaining 50,000 or so combat strength after the capture of the Wilcot Fortress, plus the 90,000 elite troops brought by Sun Lin later, the entire 140,000 elite infantry mixed troops in less than half a day, will be locked in the fort and separated from the fort 120,000 Mishahr has no temper at all.
On the battlefield outside the city, the sun never sets on the slaughtering blows, so the more than 30,000 Michar soldiers who were locked outside by a cast-iron city gate finally ran away less than 5,000 people, and the remaining 30,000 or so soldiers were put to the ground by Greek fire, giant javelins and crossbow arrows, and the escaped Michar soldiers may not even survive 100 people in the end, because the distance to the Michar Empire village that can let them survive, the nearest is more than 500 kilometers away, before the snowstorm is enough to take the lives of these Michar soldiers.
The end of the Mishaal soldiers in the city was better, because the damage to the fort caused by Andert was too high when he attacked Fort Wilcott before, and as a result, the defense facilities on the side of Fort Bilcot were completely paralyzed, and even if 100,000 people were to repair it, it would take a quarter to do it, of course, in the absence of systematic cheating.
Previously, most of the Mishar soldiers and civilians in the city were burned and killed in the siege battle, and then the remaining 90% of the Mishar soldiers were transported to the coastal areas of the northwest continent of the Sunset Empire as half-slaves and half-civilians to live again, so now the number of Mishals in the Fortress of Wilcot is less than 30,000, and the rest are all migrated from within the Sunset Empire, daring to go to this snow-capped mountain plateau to be pioneers and become mine owners for more than 10,000 days and residents. And Sun Lin is even more unlikely to let these civilians and soldiers who are completely obedient to the rule of the Sunset Empire to repair the city wall, so that they consciously donate some money to borrow money to build the castle is already Sun Lin's biggest bottom line, so in the end, Sun Lin only needs to put the burden of building the Wilcot fortress on these more than 80,000 Mishahr people who have been brought into the city.
Under Sun Lin's intentional command and the deliberate hints of the soldiers who never set the sun, the Mishaal soldiers in the 4 districts of the city who gathered together and thought that they would fight to the death with everyone chose to surrender collectively after gathering, but those Mishaal soldiers who failed to escape to the 4 Mishaal soldiers' gathering areas or stayed in the block in despair were slaughtered, and the Sunless army obtained nearly 50,000 left Michar prisoners after collecting the equipment of the Mishal soldiers in the 4 areas.
As for the 4 dukes who led 120,000 Mishaal soldiers, in addition to the two who were killed on the spot who resisted too much in the process of arrest (the official statement, there was a dark box operation, please see below for details), Duke Crickett and Old Duke Curt were captured by Leo, the captain of the Sunlin Cavalry Guards, while the other chose to surrender voluntarily. Here, the two men meet an old man whom neither of them could believe would appear.
"Duke Wilcot! How is this possible! Aren't you dead in battle? What ............. for" the old Duke Curt said with a shocked face, and he was afraid that he would suddenly burst out and hurt people, and Duke Crickot, who was tied up by Leo, was also staring at Duke Wilcot in front of him like a ghost, but the shadow at Duke Wilcot's feet showed that he was indeed alive in front of him.
"Do you want to say that I can still be here because the sun never sets on the forward command room of the Michael Empire, old fellow Kirtd? But as you can see, I'm still alive, and ........." Duke Wilcot pointed to the one-handed battle axe forged from stainless steel at his waist: "And I'm living a very nourishing life now, a hundred times better than when I was the damned Duke of the Mishar Empire before, this is a divine weapon personally given to me by His Majesty Sun Lin, and the badge around my waist means that I have some internal privileges in both mining production and commercial trade in Wilcott District, by the way, I am now the Vice President of the Wilcot District Branch of the Vice-Archon Inter-Archon Commerce Guild within the Empire of Wilcot. ”
"It turns out that you surrendered, and the sun never sets! Then you sent out the letter before............ "At this time, Duke Creict, whose IQ is not too high, also understood that this was a positive thing, and after thinking of the distress letter he received before, he looked at the old Duke Wilcot with an angry face and shouted.
"I know what you want to say to me, Crickett, is nothing more than a traitor or something. But after you've been through the previous battle of Fort Wilcot, and learned what the sun never set has done, you're telling me................ yes, as you both suspected, that distress letter was written after I surrendered, and I decided to do it myself. Because I and Sun Lin both know that if we want to truly assimilate the Mishar people and make the Mishar Empire become a few provinces of the Empire of Kings in the Continent of Kings, it is impossible to occupy all the lands alone, so for the sake of the Empire, I must conquer the Mishal Empire with the troops under the crown, and at the same time, let the troops of the dark side of the Crown uproot all the unstable factors of the Mishal Empire. ”
"Then why did the ruler of the Empire where the sun never set leave the two of us behind, shouldn't he want to execute the two of us on the spot like those two dukes? And......... Why did he keep you until now, Wilcott, is there any secret in this? After calming down, the old Duke Curt looked at Duke Wilcot and said, and his eyes flashed strangely, as if he had found something that would save his life.
"Haha............ha It is worthy of being the 5 dukes known as the snow field cunning fox, you actually found the most unreasonable place so quickly, yes, although Sun Lin wants to get rid of the 5 dukes of Mishaal, but he also said that if he really does this, it will inevitably cause a great backlash and plant the seeds of resistance among the Mishaals, and it is impossible for him to kill all the Mishals, so he thinks that the best way is to disintegrate from the inside, just like he did with those Lanster people before, The Duke of the Northwest Territory of the Former Ranster Empire has done many things that even I can't imagine. ”
"I see, isn't that ............"
"It's good if you understand, go in, Your Majesty will wait for the two of you inside, and the outcome will depend on your own choice.........."
