3 The Grand Duke of the Duchy replied almost on the same day that he received the letter of surrender from the sunset, and expressed his willingness to submit to the great empire on which the sun never sets, and the reason for this was because they had no reason not to submit at all.

From a military point of view, although the 3 principalities have not had formal military contact with the Water Qilin Empire, a very aggressive empire in the Western Regions of the Central Continent, because the 3 principalities have been in a situation of mutual conquest for a long time before this, the troops owned by the 3 principalities are still quite combative, although for the current power of the great empire where the sun never sets, which mobilizes tens of thousands of people in a casual battle, the combat power of the thousands of people between the principalities is really unsightly.

But even in terms of combat effectiveness, it can't be compared with the great empire on which the sun never sets, not to mention the equipment, combat quality, and cooperative combat ability between the 3 principalities and the sun never sets, not to mention the equipment, combat quality, and cooperative combat ability, just in terms of numbers, the army that the sun never sets can completely push any of the 3 principalities in a wave of ways.

In terms of people's hearts, although the 3 principalities did not oppose the Sun Never Empire before, the lore order executed by the Sun Never Set Empire in the territory of the Water Qilin Empire has a great influence on the people of the 3 Duchies, and even the magnates and generals within the 3 Duchyes are frightened, if the 3 Grand Dukes choose to fight the Sun Never Empire to the end, the 3 Grand Dukes believe that the next day, they will not be killed by their own courtiers and will be broken through their ducal mansions by the mob who are malicious in fear, And then at the same time as snatching everything he had, he dedicated it to the sun.

The last is the aspect of interests: although giving up the position of the Grand Duke means that he will never be able to be linked to power in the future, the Sun Never Sets side said that if the 3 Grand Dukes choose to surrender, then the Sun Never Sets side will give the 3 Grand Dukes the hereditary viscount title of the Sun Never Setting Empire, and at the same time will plan a small city in the northwest continent for himself to be a nominal small city lord. It's better than being killed or turned into a commoner, and from the point of view of the agreement, as long as the constitution of the Sun Never Sets Empire is followed, the nobles of the Sun Never Set Empire can live quite comfortably even those who only have the rank of knight.

PS: No matter how much Sun Lin hates the aristocracy, after all, the influence of the aristocracy in this era is still very great, and Sun Lin has to admit that the Sun Never Sets Empire really can't abandon the members of the aristocracy, even if these members are not originally from the Sun Never Sets Empire, so the Sun Never Sets In order to ensure that some powerful people in the occupied area of the Sun do not make trouble in their old age, the Sun Never Sets Civil Department will generally protect some powerful people of the defeated country who have no black background and have better prestige among the civilians during the war. He was then expelled from the mainland in disguise on the grounds that he was appointed as the lord of a city. And this so-called small city lord is actually a bit like a "statue" of those cities. Because although these small city lords are supreme in the eyes of the common people, in fact, the city lords who are transformed from such defeated countries are 95% of the city lords in the great empire on which the sun never sets, because the cities they "manage" are managed by the personnel of the military, civil and commercial departments of the sunset, and what they have to do. It's just that they receive a generous subsidy from the Great Empire every month, and then walk among the common people to care about the lives of the people. By the way, propaganda that the sun does not set, the benefits of the great empire are gone. So they are like statues of a city, and although they are in awe of the people, in fact, the absence of them in every aspect of the city will not have any effect.

And although the three princes chose to surrender, they were actually planning in their hearts, whether to return to the Western Regions of the Central Continent when the sun did not set and the party did not notice it, although it was 100% possible that they would not be able to play the anti-flag at that time. However, it is not impossible to secretly control some forces, and some of the people in the principality are still loyal to themselves.

Of course, this situation was completely dispelled 10 days after they signed the surrender agreement and stationed the Sunset army near here: with the intervention of the Empire Administration of Sunset. In less than ten days, the network of relationships that the Grand Dukes were proud of was completely disrupted by the members of the Ministry of the Sun Never Sets.

In addition, the troops of the former principality, which were most expected by the Grand Dukes, were now reorganized into the guard troops in the territory of the three principalities in the eyes of the Grand Duke, but they were disbanded by those administrations. And then what made the three Grand Dukes feel even more unbelievable was that the next troops sent by the sun never set to serve as garrisons in this area were actually those bear monster warriors who lived in the depths of the dense forest area of the Western Regions of the Central Continent, and their number was actually as many as 6,000 people.

In this case, the three Grand Duchyes could only give up the little Jiujiu in their hearts in the end, and follow the escort team sent by Sun Bu to go to the distant northwest continent, and the Sun Bu Lay army, led by the three sect soldiers such as Andelte, began to rest in the area bordering the territory of the three principalities and the territory of the Kingdom of Morta, which lasted for nearly one month. As for the reason, it is very simple, because the three generals who walked on the road to the kingdom of Morta found that the soldiers of the sun never set began to show signs of poisoning one after another in the recent period, and even the people who showed signs of poisoning included the field doctors of the empire of the sun never set.

This situation initially caused even the entire army of Sunset to panic, including the three generals of Sunset, because they could not determine whether the situation was caused by the enemies of the Kingdom of Morta, or if it was caused by some other reason. This continued until the arrival of a sorcerer from the Witch Clan, and the reason for the discovery was that the cause of the large number of poisoning symptoms among the soldiers in the Sunset Army was the methane gas in the Morta region.

In fact, the entire western and northwest regions of the King Continent, if you look at it in a bird's eye, people will be surprised that this area is covered by forests, and the area where the Morta Kingdom is located is actually a swampy area, but the swamp area here is a little special, so it is not used to identify the swamp where the swamp area is located in the eyes of people.

The Morta people who have lived in this area for many years have become accustomed to living in an area with a dense swamp density, but as an outsider, the Sunrise Army does not know such a thing, and the only 3 Duchy troops who knew about the situation of the Morta Kingdom before were disbanded because of the entry of the bear monster troops, so the Sunset side did not know the situation here after entering this area, and it was inevitable that a large number of soldiers would be poisoned due to the swamp gas.

When the army was in such a situation, the three generals and Sun Lin, who was far away in the Shang Alliance, were very weak, and according to the Wu physician who found the cause of the poisoning symptoms of the soldiers who did not set the sun, the biogas that poisoned the soldiers did not have many toxins, but because its density was too high, it led to the increase of the trace elements in the methane toxins in the methane, which made the soldiers who did not adapt to the sun not set have symptoms of poisoning. Another point is that the Morta region is a bit like the alpine areas that lack the oxygen that people breathe, but the alpine areas are due to the high altitude, while the Morta area is caused by the excess of biogas in this area.

In situations like this, the best way to do this is to crack the components of the biogas to make an antidote so that the sun never sets on the soldiers from showing symptoms of poisoning. But the question is, is it really that easy to make an antidote to this biogas? Not to mention that because the current level of science and technology is insufficient, there is not a single equipment for studying the composition of biogas, but after the research is completed, how to put it into production, and how to supply the daily needs of hundreds of thousands of soldiers who do not set the sun on it.

Of course, there is also a military officer who never sets the sun and put forward a good news, that is: "Since the Morta people can live in this area, it means that the Morta people have probably developed an antidote to this kind of methane, after all, the adults of Morta can resist the erosion of the methane, but as the elderly and children who are physically weak, they may not, if we have snatched the formula of this antidote from the Morta people, can't we?" ”

However, this plan was rejected almost at the same moment as it was proposed, for the simple reason that the soldiers on the side of the sun never set vomited because of the thick swamp gas when they did not reach the edge of the Stilla Kingdom, so if they went deep into the territory of the Morta Kingdom, it was not certain how much the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Stilla Kingdom would drop, and more importantly, if they went deep into the territory of the Morta Kingdom, they thought that they were going to fight with the soldiers of the Morta Kingdom, and the soldiers of the Stilla Kingdom who were not in combat at all were even stronger, It is also very likely that it will be crushed by an army of less than a thousand people in the Kingdom of Morta.

Therefore, in the end, the officers of Sunset Never Set, including the three generals, believed that although the research and development of the antidote was urgent, it was not a way to wait at the edge of the territory of the Three Duchy and the Morta Kingdom, and what was to be done now was to let the rear start to study the antidote at the same time, but also let the soldiers of Sunset begin to gradually go deep into the biogas area to adapt to these biogases, and this approach was also recognized by many doctors in the Sunset Army, including several Wu doctors.

As for Sun Lin, he himself would not care about this, because as early as when the Sunset Army attacking the Kingdom of Morta stopped advancing, he himself and Prince Uda of the Sunset Empire led the main force of the Second Expeditionary Force of the Sunset Middle Continent, including the Cuman cavalry newly incorporated into the Second Expeditionary Force of the Middle Continent, into the territory of the Bona Alliance.
