Chapter 133 The city that surrendered directly
There is a straight-line distance of more than 2000 kilometers from the city of Brest to the royal city of Selia. Along the way, you will pass through mountains, hills, and plateau mountain terrains, but most of them are plains and flat rivers.
The 20-strong Coman army opened the way ahead. Because of the encouragement of Princess Irina, everyone knew very well that their expedition at this time was for the unification of the Coman Empire, so they were in excellent condition. The urgent march only took more than two hours. He rushed to the city forty kilometers away.
The Flying Dragon Cavalry scout returned from reconnaissance and reported on the situation in the city ahead.
"You said they were willing to surrender?"
Irina felt a little incredible when she heard the news from behind, "Isn't this a fake surrender?"
"They opened the city gate, and after seeing our scouts, they did not make any defensive gestures. They expressed their intention to return to the rule of the Coman Empire and requested an audience with Her Royal Highness..."
The scout's reply made the personnel responsible for delivering battlefield news feel outrageous. They had no idea that this battle would be so easy.
This city is not far from Brest City, and everything that happened in Brest City before was easy for them to know.
The princess thought for a moment, and then immediately said that she asked the city's main generals and city lords to leave the city, and she would send someone to accept the surrender outside the city.
The news was simultaneously transmitted to the mobile headquarters of the synthetic brigade in the rear. After hearing the news, the people in the combat command room did not have many surprised expressions. They just thought it was normal.
"It seems that the people in this city are not stupid."
"After drone reconnaissance, there are not many troops in the city. The number found should not exceed a thousand people. The number of ordinary residents is about [-]."
A person in charge of intelligence analysis said: "Actually, many cities in the north are of the same type. The one gathered in Brest City is already the most important military force in Rono's hands."
"Then this force has been absorbed, wouldn't the rest of the push be easy?"
"It is estimated that there are about 20 to [-] troops in the royal city of Celia, which should be the last trump card in the hands of Duke Rono. There are not many legion members stationed in other cities, and the largest one is Geer City, but There are only half a legion there, a few thousand people."
"There is basically no need for us to take action in the front. We only need to ensure that the final battle to attack the royal city is won steadily."
"Notify the entire brigade to temporarily camp and rest!"
The official roads that the Koman Empire had previously repaired had been neglected and now looked somewhat dilapidated. However, there was no problem for armored vehicles traveling on such roads.
It's just that the combined brigade did not choose to advance quickly. Instead, it followed steadily behind the Coman Empire's army, stopping from time to time to rest.
Armed helicopters and drones took turns to reconnoiter and monitor the battle ahead, ensuring the smooth advancement of the legion on the side of the Princess of the Coman Empire.
The personnel sent by Princess Irina accepted the surrender under the city. Irina immediately re-appointed the officials in the city and asked her legions to readjust the public security order in the city.
The previous lackeys or slaves of Duke Rono were quickly found and publicly tried and dealt with in the square in the city.
All traces of Duke Rono were removed from the entire city, and all publicity was changed to Princess Irina! The whole process was watched by the Synthetic Brigade, but they had no intention of intervening, and they did not urge the princess to move forward at all. It was just that after Irina's affairs were completed, someone came specially to inform them that they needed to go ahead. Open a shop in the city.
"no problem."
After hearing what the person sent from the outpost said, Irina pointed to a middle-aged man standing below and said: "He is the newly appointed city lord. You can choose a house in the city with him. ." The visitor thanked Princess Irina for her cheerfulness and was about to say goodbye and return, but Irina asked: "Aren't you going to take action next?"
"If His Highness can solve the war situation with hundreds of thousands of troops, we will naturally not take action again."
The staff member responded with a smile: "If His Highness encounters a difficult situation, we will take action without contacting you."
"Is that so..."
Irina nodded slightly, "When the time comes to the royal city of Celia, I hope you can take action appropriately. Rono, you can't stay."
She waved her hand flatly, letting the messenger immediately understand what she meant.
The messenger nodded towards Irina, and soon heard her voice indicating that he could return.
The new city lord who was hurriedly chased out was also an aborigine of this city. Because Irina wanted to replace the people in the city, she temporarily pulled this person who did not rely on either side to the position of city lord.
This person is quite quick-thinking and knows that the reason why Irina was able to reach Brest City from the south in one go was because of these outsiders in front of her.
Because it was close to the city of Brest, he knew very well what was going on there. He also learned from the frontline personnel that hundreds of thousands of the invading orc army in the south had been wiped out by these people, so he seemed quite respectful to these people.
The person who came to deliver the message pulled the person outside and asked him to negotiate with the city lord, while he hurried back to report.
The person who came here had studied the design and layout of the surrounding cities very early. Regarding the outpost's idea of opening a shop in the city, he immediately selected a location on the map in a reasonable manner.
The city lord was stunned when he looked at that place, and immediately said: "That's the castle of the nobles in the city..."
"Oh, a noble place?"
The person negotiating was named Wang Xiu. He was not surprised at all when he heard this. He smiled and said to the city lord in front of him: "I am only responsible for choosing the address. You need to solve other things."
"We will have dedicated personnel coming to take over this area tomorrow. I don't want anyone to come and cause trouble by then."
The translator translated Wang Xiu's words to the city lord. The city lord suddenly cried and wanted to complain, but Wang Xiu stopped him directly.
"Her Royal Highness promoted you to be the new city lord. She must have high hopes for you."
"Don't let her live up to her expectations."
"But...but after all, those nobles in the city were there when the empire was founded. How could I, a small city lord, dare to attack them..."
Wang Xiu looked at the city lord's obedient incompetence, but he was not annoyed at all. He still smiled. He adjusted his glasses and said to the city lord: "Just say this is the order of Her Royal Highness. If you don't follow it, If she did what she said, it would be equivalent to going against His Highness and directly copying them!"
"At most, it's just one less noble. If you give the wealth collected by these nobles over the years to Her Royal Highness, I'm afraid Her Highness will look at you with admiration!"
