Man is a strange creature.

The expressions on the faces of the people of Fenrir began to change when they saw the man run safely to the enemy line and take the bread and dried meat from Willik. A seven or eight-year-old child pulled the corner of his father's coat and said, "Dad, I'm hungry." ”

The father gritted his teeth, picked up the child and ran out, shouting, "We surrender too." Adult, please give my child something to eat. ”

Willik simply gave him plenty of food: "Children must be fed, and adults must not be hungry." ”

Holding the heavy food in his hand, the corners of the man's eyes were already full of simple tears, he picked up the child and ran into Allen's army. Willik turned around again and yelled, "Who else? ”

"Me!"

"I surrender!"

More and more people ran out of the city, and now that the other party has fulfilled its promise, naturally no one wants to stay in the city anymore. What's more, the previous Duruff, the current Yalo-You-You-Xiao-Say-More-New-Most-Fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-These nobles don't care about the lives and deaths of the commoners, and the commoners are naturally not obliged to remain loyal to them, which is a very simple truth. And now, this principle is being put into practice.

When they saw that most of the civilians had fled out of the city, some of the soldiers began to waver. Jeff saw it in his eyes and shouted, "Civilians can choose to surrender, but we can't. Remember, we are soldiers, shields and swords to protect the city. As long as Sir Auth does not explicitly announce his surrender, we will have to fight to the death! ”

The soldiers sighed, and someone smiled bitterly: "Captain, just our little people, it's not enough for the other party to kill in one round." ”

Jeff silently really, indeed, the current military strength of Fenrir City is less than two hundred. The number of the army of the hungry wolf leader itself is not large, and he first lost a number of soldiers in the county with Duruff. Later, due to Yarrow's actions, some more were forced away. Now there are only a hundred soldiers left in Fenrir City, and there is simply not enough strength to protect the city.

"I'll see what the adults have to say." Jeff could only say this to the soldiers, as he could imagine. If Sir Auth is not ready to surrender, then when the time limit is reached, when the opponent attacks, it cannot be ruled out that there will be deserters.

But even if you know what, a city that has lost faith cannot expect that there will be soldiers willing to sacrifice their blood and lives. Jeff thought sadly, his back away from the wall, with a deep sense of gloom.

In the chamber of the City Lord's Mansion, Yarrow jumped out again and shouted, "We can't surrender, and once we do, our situation will be worse than that of the civilians. All of you, please think about it. When the other side takes over the city, the best outcome for us is to put us under house arrest. ”

"But most of the civilians have already left the city, and I believe that it will not be long before more people choose to surrender." An official said: "At the end of the day, no one will protect the city for us." ”

"Why not, we still have the army!" Yarrow slapped the table.

Jeff's voice came from behind coldly: "Lord Yarrow, our army is less than two hundred people left. I would like to ask my lord, what are we going to do against an enemy army four times our size? ”

The captain of the guard walked into the chamber and took his place. Yaluo's face turned red, and he said, "Fighting a war is a matter for you soldiers to consider, and your duty is to protect us." If we can't do that, why are we keeping you with all this waste? ”

"That's right, Lord Yarrow. But if it weren't for the fact that you had detained the army before, how could you have forced some of the soldiers to leave? If it weren't for what you did, our army would have only so few people. So in the end, this qiē is all from you, Lord Baialo! Jeff said without giving an inch.

Yaluo was so angry that his head was bruised: "Presumptuous! Captain Jeff, you're guilty of the following. Come on, lock this bastard up for me. No, kill me! Since you can't defend the city, then what do I want you to do! ”

However, Yarrow shouted several times, but the guards did not come out. Jeff then said, "It's a pity, Lord Yarrow. Now all those who can fight have gathered me on the other side of the wall, but no one has come to carry out your orders. ”

He looked at Oss again and said, "My lord, we soldiers are the swords in your hands. If you are not prepared to surrender, then we can shed every last drop of blood for you. But the premise is that the command must be given by you yourself, not by someone else. This is the last request we have for you, the soldiers! ”

The atmosphere in the room was heavy, and several officials bowed their heads. The little baron looked at Jeff and then at Yarrow. Yalo looked away and said, "Don't look at me, now Captain Jeff doesn't take me seriously, you can decide how you like it." ”

Oss took a breath and said in a slightly childish voice, "Captain Jeff, can we win?" ”

Jeff looked at him deeply and said with a wry smile, "Honestly, we don't have a chance of winning at all. Unless Lord Daniel's army comes to our aid, even if everyone is willing to fight hard, they will only die in battle. ”

"If that's the case, then let's surrender. What is a war that cannot be won no matter what? The little baron's simple mind made the most direct judgment, and most people felt relieved to hear his words.

After all, it was better for the barons to give the order than for them to give it. But seeing Osna's young face, everyone felt that their faces were hot. After all, this baron is still a child, and it is up to a child to bear this qiē, and they will be disgraced when it is passed out.

Yalo, who was next to him, snorted and slammed the door to leave. Since he was going to surrender, he had to pack up his things and leave while there was still time. As long as he has those looted wealth, where does he go, doesn't he still live an aristocratic life?

Alan didn't have to wait long, and the next day, Fenrir City opened its gates. Sir Oss was escorted by a group of officials and guards to Alan's line, and the Younger Oshi presented Eren with a copy of the Codex and surrendered to him on behalf of the city of Suriel. Alan took the Codex and handed it to Oss, and the ceremony was complete. Soon, Allen's wolf banner and the banner representing Count Oban were soon hoisted from the tallest bell tower in Fenrir City to signify the ownership of the territory.

The army remained camped outside the city, and Alan took only Willik and the Mountain King warriors with him, and followed the officials of Fenrir into the city. The city was worse than he had imagined, and the civilians had returned to the city, and Alan had provided several truckloads of food for Fenrir City, which also calmed the hearts of the civilians. However, walking through the streets of the city, Alan saw something that made him unable to believe that he was walking in the city of a knight.

This Fenrir city is slightly inferior to the city of Sur in the Frontier Lands.

"As you can see, my lord. The city of Fenrir is simply a barren place, and even if you occupy this land, you will not be able to create anything for you. An official said truthfully.

"What's your name?"

"Thor, I'm the clerk of the city."

Alan nodded and said, "Good, Mr. Thor." Then please remember this day carefully, because this day will be a new day for the city. In the near future, it will be completely different. And time will witness a qiē. ”

Thor was stunned before nodding seriously and jotting down Alan's words.

When you walk through the streets of the slum and come to the Lord's Mansion. Look at this large, well-structured, and lavishly decorated mansion. Alan said sincerely, "If the cost of this building were used to build the city, I think Fenrir City would be very different from what it is now. ”

The officials behind all bowed their heads, and Thor smiled bitterly: "This is the legacy left by Sir Duruff. ”

"Very good, then I will count all the valuable things in it, including calligraphy, paintings and carvings." Alan said lightly.

Thor was taken aback and said, "My lord, what is this?" ”

"Things are dead, people are alive. Valuables, it's better to exchange them for money than to put them here. As the first start-up capital to transform the city. With that, Alan strode in.

Thor was thinking about it later, he originally thought that Alan was going to collect valuables for private property, but he didn't expect that he was using it to transform the city, which surprised Thor . After visiting the City Lord's Mansion, Alan and Willic were in charge of collecting the valuables in it so that the officials would not enrich themselves. Then he and the little Baron Oss met alone in the chamber, and under Jeff's hesitant gaze, Alan smiled, "You are a loyal subordinate, but don't worry." If I were to disadvantage the baron, I wouldn't have to go through the hassle. ”

Jeff said solemnly: "With this word from an adult, I am relieved." ”

After he left, only Alan and Oss were left in the huge chamber. Alan stared at the young knight, and the boy was a little nervous in the face of Alan's appearance, and his hands and fingers rubbed the corners of his clothes restlessly, looking a little overwhelmed. He was still too young to take on the responsibilities of a lord. However, Alan had already understood the situation just now, and Oss was put in this position more to make it easier for Yarrow to control.

"Baron Os." Alan said softly.

The little boy seemed to be frightened by something, and suddenly straightened up, and said, "Yes." ”

Alan laughed and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, tell me, how old are you?" ”

"After this year, I'll be 12 years old."

At the age of twelve, Alan thought of himself, and at his age at Oss, he no longer knew how many times he had wandered the line between life and death. And this boy grew up under the wings of Truluff. So at the same age, he looks young and immature.

Alan looked at him and said calmly: "Your father, that is, Baron Duruff, he died at my hands. ”

The boy was stunned, then bowed his head and said, "I know, Jeff mentioned you to me last night." ”

"Really? So, do you hate me? ”

After a moment of silence, Oss looked up and said, "I don't know. ”R1058
