On the flat avenue, the flags were flying, and the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army were marching in four neat columns.
"Why are the houses built by these people of the Holy See so strange? All of them have pointed roofs."
Zhu Yimao, the deputy head of the 14th Field Army, and Feng Yang, the head of the army, rode side by side on horseback. They were also amazed to see the tall pointed houses of the churches in the villages along the way.
"Every place has its own customs and customs, what's so strange about that."
Feng Yang saw Zhu Yimao looking around like a curious child, and explained with a smile.
"When I was guarding Daling Province in the Northern Army, the grassland tribes there lived in tents and burned cow dung, which is quite different from our empire's living habits."
"There is no grain growing on the grasslands, so do they eat meat all at once?"
Zhu Yimao, the deputy army commander, has lived in the Far East since he was a child. This is the first time he has stepped out of the country. Compared with the well-informed Feng Yang, he knows little about the outside world.
"If they only eat meat, no matter how many cattle and sheep they have, they won't be enough for them to eat." Feng Yang explained.
"They will use cattle and sheep to go to the caravan to exchange some grain and salt, and they will also collect some wild vegetables, but most of the food is mutton."
"It's no wonder that those wolf cavalry are all fat and strong, and they grew up eating meat." Deputy Army Chief Zhu Yimao said.
When Feng Yang, the well-informed army commander, was telling the deputy army commander Zhu Yimao about his defense of Daling Province in the Northern Army, a cavalry came from a distance.
"Master Legion Commander, Lord Deputy Legion Commander, the Fifty-Eighth Banner Regiment of the Vanguard has reported that there are nobles from the Holy See who want to surrender to us."
After the cavalrymen in black gave a standard military salute to Zhu Yimao and the others on horseback, they pointed to the front of the team and reported the situation.
"The nobles of the Holy See surrendered to us?"
After hearing what the cavalry in black said, Feng Yang and Zhu Yimao also looked at each other, feeling a little disbelieving.
After all, their army marched all the way, and all the people in the villages and towns along the way escaped, and there was a mess everywhere, not to mention the nobles, there was no one in sight.
Now it is a new thing that some nobles of the Holy See voluntarily surrendered to them.
"Go, go and have a look."
The legion commanders Feng Yang and Zhu Yimao immediately rode their horses towards the front, and their cavalry guards also rode their horses to follow.
They crossed the marching teams and soon arrived at the 58th Banner Regiment of the Vanguard.
"I've seen the Legion Commander, the Deputy Legion Commander!"
Seeing Feng Yang, Zhu Yimao and the others coming, Li Wei, head of the 58th Banner, hurried forward to salute.
"What's the situation?"
Zhu Yimao pointed to the dozens of nobles of the Holy See in gorgeous clothes beside the main road, and asked Li Wei, the head of the banner.
"Master Deputy Legion Commander, the nobles said that they belonged to the nearby Garth Manor, and the leader was Lawson. He said that he had once served as the Red-clothed General of the Fourth Skitarii Army"
After hearing the report from Li Wei, head of the Qianwei 58th Banner, Feng Yang and Zhu Yimao were also quite surprised.
What they didn't expect was that the enemy general who fled on the battlefield was right there.
Surprisingly, the famous enemy general in red was waiting for them by the roadside with wine and meat, willing to surrender to them.
Soon, Lawson, dressed in aristocratic attire, was brought to Feng Yang and the others.
Feng Yang looked up and down this handsome nobleman, but he never thought that he was his former rival, the red general of the Skitarii.
"Why did you surrender to us?"
After Feng Yang sized him up, he asked in doubt.
"I have seen with my own eyes that your army is powerful in combat. The destruction of our Holy See is only a matter of time. My family is unwilling to be buried with the Holy See, so our family is willing to surrender in order to be preserved."
Lawson was very respectful, and spoke directly from his heart.
"You know the times."
Zhu Yimao, the deputy head of the army, curled his lips.
"As long as your army can forgive my crimes and my family, my family will provide your army with the best possible help." Lawson bowed deeply, very sincerely.
Lawson escaped from the dead and returned to the family, and brought back the news of the defeat on the front line, which also caused the family to panic for a long time.??.
Fortunately, his father is also a person who has seen the world. After a comprehensive analysis of the current situation, he finally decided to surrender to the Far East Army.
In his father's view, the Holy See could not beat the Far Eastern Army even if it was all out, and now it was even more impossible. The destruction of the Holy See was only a matter of time, and there was no need for their family to die.
If they can take the initiative to flatter and surrender to the Far Eastern Army, maybe their family can continue their glory.
This is also why, while other nobles and ordinary people are scrambling to escape, their families still stay here, waiting for the arrival of the Far East Army.
"You are the red-clothed general of the Skitarii, our enemy, aren't you afraid that we will kill you and your family?" Legion Commander Feng Yang stared at Lawson with a murderous look.
"I know that your army has always been kind and treated the prisoners well. You will not kill innocent people indiscriminately." Lawson said flatteringly.
Everyone likes to listen to flattery. As expected, after hearing Lawson's words, Feng Yang was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
"It seems that you still know my Far Eastern Army very well."
Seeing Feng Yang laughing, Lawson, who had taken a gamble, was secretly relieved.
This time, their family is completely gambling. Once the Far Eastern Army does not accept their surrender, they will be in danger of being destroyed.
Fortunately, seeing that Feng Yang's attitude was not so hostile, Lawson also knew that they had made the right bet.
"I accept your surrender."
Seeing that some nobles voluntarily surrendered to them, Feng Yang also agreed wholeheartedly.
The purpose of their march into the Holy See is to completely overthrow the rule of the Holy See, not to be enemies of everyone.
Since Lawson and others are willing to surrender and obey their orders, why not do it, as long as they are more prepared.
And with Lawson, the former general in red, as a liaison, maybe more nobles can be persuaded to surrender to them.
Feng Yang accepted the surrender of the Lawson family, and Lawson and the others also rewarded their Far East Army with a lot of wine and meat.
When resting near Garth Manor, Feng Yang also gave Lawson this task, which was to let him take his servants one step ahead to tell the fleeing commoners and nobles about their policies of the Far East Army.
Those people didn't know the real situation of the Far Eastern Army. They were full of fear and hostility towards the Far Eastern Army, so they fled hastily.
Now Feng Yang needs Lawson, a local, to stand up, clarify and publicize everything about the Far Eastern Army, so as to establish a good image of the Far Eastern Army, so that they will no longer be afraid of the Far Eastern Army, and no longer be enemies of the Far Eastern Army.
Seeing that the Far East Army accepted him and promised not to move his family's property, Lawson was naturally very willing to serve and spread the word for the Far East Army.
Sure enough, in the next few days, on the way forward, the Far Eastern Army encountered several nobles carrying wine, meat, and gold and silver cloth to the army, and expressed their willingness to surrender to them.
? After all, for these nobles, they also realized that the Holy See is going to die, and their family has a big business, and they urgently need a new backer.
Seeing that the Far Eastern Army is so easy to talk and do what it says, they are naturally willing to associate with the Far Eastern Army. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
