Warhammer Wizard
Chapter 431: surrender and oath
Duke Fisher's voice was clear and unmistakable throughout Riverrun.
"Lord Duke..."
The sturgeon warriors looked at the top of the tower from all corners of the castle, and saw the figure of Duke Fisher. They were sure that the Duke asked him to give up his resistance and surrender to the enemy.
The duke, who is highly respected and loved by the people, now looks a little stooped with his straight waist, his face is gray and defeated, like a frail old man, lowering his noble man towards the young man who defeated him. skull.
Under the cold wind blowing, the blood-colored cloak behind Ren was screeching.
From the point of view of the sturgeon warriors, they saw a stalwart body, with a faint smile on his handsome face, but with an unquestionably strong self-confidence.
There were four giant dragons hovering in the sky above him, exuding a terrifying dragon might.
This scene is in sharp contrast with Duke Fisher who announced his surrender. Victory and defeat, strong and weak, young and old, the picture is extremely impactful, making the sturgeon warriors looking up at Rennes and the nobles in the castle unforgettable.
At this moment, Ren seemed to be more dazzling than the sun.
There was silence inside and outside the castle for a few seconds, and the fighting between the enemy and the enemy stopped.
Sicarius raised his hand to indicate that the Ultramarines and the Gunwing Knights ceased fire first, the gunfire subsided, and cleverly blocked the front of the Centaur Legion to prevent them from continuing to fight.
"Dang!"
A sturgeon warrior threw the long sword in his hand to the ground, raised his hand and came out of his hiding place.
With the first person surrendering, there will soon be the second and third... The sturgeon warriors and the superhumans of the Fisher family put down their weapons one after another, expressing that they gave up resistance.
The Ultramarines took the centaurs and gathered them together as captives.
As soon as the battle was over, the obscure divine aura in the sky quickly dissipated.
Seeing this, Ren was secretly relieved, and he threatened Duke Fisher to slaughter the city and make Barosque the next Mardros. It was just a last resort, and he was not sure that Duke Fisher would compromise.
Fortunately, Varogan's information is very accurate. Duke Fisher is indeed a gracious and benevolent lord, and it is unlikely that he will watch his family and city perish.
"Young man, are you Lord Glamorgan, Ryan Augustus?"
Duke Fisher watched his sturgeon warriors and clansmen become prisoners, the water curtain circle and city gate of River Run were also destroyed, and the crab port in the distance was also billowing with smoke. I don't know how many people were killed, and my heart ached immediately. Unstoppable, resentful and complicated at the same time, I couldn't help but ask this sentence.
In fact, he had already heard about Ren's origin, but Congatro was far away from the empire. The specific situation was not very detailed, and he was not interested in learning about it, so he could not be sure.
"I have seen the Duke." Ren bowed slightly, "It's me."
Duke Fisher was concerned about whether his own people were tortured or not, while staring at Ren, snorted twice, and said solemnly: "The land of Congatro is barren and cold, the population is not large, and the wealth is even more than that of the empire. If you don't get any of them, is the empire also coveted?"
Ren replied lightly: "It is true for the empire, but for individuals, Congatro is an inexhaustible mountain of gold, and no one will dislike too much land and wealth."
His words surprised Duke Fisher.
"However," Ren laughed and explained: "The wizards of Wezeland and I are employed by Ms. Emilys in our own name, and have nothing to do with the empire. The Duke does not need to worry about it."
"I hope so." Duke Fisher obviously didn't believe it.
He looked in the direction of the city gate. Emily stepped on the frozen ice, surrounded by everyone, and entered the castle step by step.
In this beautiful woman, Duke Fisher felt the breath of the long-lost Dragonborn.
"Dragonborn of House Drogon..." he sighed.
Not long ago, when he heard the news of Dragonborn from Duke Danse, Duke Fisher still felt a little unbelievable. Now that he saw Dragonborn appear with his own eyes and captured his castle, he had to accept the reality.
And, this dragonborn has formidable helpers and a formidable army.
"Is Congatro going back to the age of dragonborn rule?" Duke Fisher whispered to himself, remembering the Drogonburg dynasty. Gatro was a dragonborn seated on the throne, and still has a sense of awe.
Ren's soul eye has been open all the time. Judging from the color of the soul and the ups and downs of emotions, Duke Fisher does not have much resistance to the return of the dragonborn, which is a good phenomenon.
"Dragonborn will surely regain the Iron Throne, Lord Duke, how should you choose?" Ren's tone was calm, but it sounded like thunder in Duke Fisher's ears.
He hesitated, opened his mouth but said nothing.
Ren did not urge, but this silent oppression made Duke Fisher even more uncomfortable.
After half a minute of silence, Duke Fisher gave a wry smile. He knew very well that when he asked the sturgeon warriors to lay down their weapons and surrender, he had no choice.
"The Duchy of Fisher is willing to pledge allegiance to the Drogon Castle family and support Queen Emily on the throne." Duke Fisher's voice revealed decisiveness without any hesitation.
This is not only for the sake of the survival of the family and the people, but it may also be an opportunity for him.
"Very well, the Duke is wise."
Ren nodded with satisfaction.
The Eye of the Soul showed that Duke Fisher was not lying, and although there was still some reluctance, his surrender was real, and the situation did not allow him to retreat.
"Lord Duke, it's not enough for you to call yourself a minister, you also need to show enough sincerity," Ren said.
"Sincerity..." Duke Fisher chewed on the word.
"Yes, sincerity. It's up to Emilys to talk to you." Ren opened an arbitrary door and walked in first.
Duke Fisher immediately followed, and came out of any door to find the main hall of the castle.
He was familiar with this spacious hall. It was located in the center of the main fort of River Run, with a triangular interior space. It was not only the most important place for the family, but also the sanctuary of the **** of the river. It was called the White River Hall.
In front of the wall at the end of the White River Hall, there is a tall statue of Oceana, and the sturgeon warriors in the castle come here every day to pray to him. Every summer on the River Festival Day, a large-scale festival will be held in the hall for three consecutive days. Only His most devout believers are eligible to participate, and most of them are nobles and sturgeon warriors in the principality.
At this time, the White River Hall was occupied by a group of outsiders.
There is a fine crystal high-back chair at the foot of the statue of Oceana, which is the position of Duke Fisher, symbolizing the ruler of the duchy.
A slender lady was sitting on a high-back chair. She had long silver-gold hair, dark purple eyes, and a pair of swept-back dragon horns on her forehead.
High-back chairs are placed on a platform with seven stone steps.
A group of people stood on the left and right below the steps, and Duke Fisher saw two familiar and unfamiliar faces in the crowd. It is familiar because he has seen them before, but it is unfamiliar because he has not seen them for many years.
The legendary swordsman Astan, the chief bodyguard of the Mad King Sirea; and the intelligence chief, Varogan, who turns out to be alive...
But what frightened Duke Fisher most was a high elf and a wizard with white hair.
And Ren, who defeated himself.
The three Speakers from Wezeland Floating Void City all stood on the steps, showing that they were equal to, and even higher than, Dragonborn.
There are several figures of different shapes below the steps. Duke Fisher has just seen their real bodies, and these are all giant dragons!
Never before have so many legends gathered in the White River Hall.
In addition to the enemy occupying the castle, there are also their own people. Duke Fisher saw at a glance his eldest son Edmure and second son Brinton, as well as several legends among the sturgeon warriors. Most of the men he trusted the most were wounded and lethargic. Prisoner.
Around the hall, there is a group of extraordinary warriors in blue armor.
Duke Fisher couldn't help but look at these powerful warriors, especially the soul guns in their hands. It was this terrifying weapon that swept through their defenses.
Their faces were hidden under their helmets, and their tall bodies were like an iron wall, standing still and making no sound, but no one dared to ignore their existence.
"Lord Duke."
"Father."
Duke Fisher caught everyone's attention as soon as he appeared, but he didn't look at his people. He quickly stepped forward to the bottom of the steps, knelt down on one knee and lowered his head.
"Reeves Fisher has met Her Royal Highness Emily."
Duke Fisher's calm voice echoed in the White River Hall, every word was incomparably clear, revealing a firmness, as if he was welcoming back the vassal of the monarch.
The captured nobles and sturgeon warriors were stunned, their faces filled with consternation.
In addition to Ren, Emilys and others were also surprised by his vassal statement. They thought that after Duke Fisher surrendered, they should choose to surrender, but they didn't think so soon.
Emily responded very quickly, and quickly got up and walked down the steps.
She helped Duke Fisher with her own hands, and said with a smile: "Although this is the first time I have set foot on Congatro's land, I have already heard of the reputation of the Duke, and I was once a supporter of the Drogon Castle family. The father and king are loyal and only compromised with the usurper when he was forced to. I can understand the painstaking efforts of the duke. Today’s battle is just a misunderstanding. All bloodshed and sacrifices are for the dragonborn to regain the throne. I also ask the duke to forgive me. "
This scene was spoken in a high-sounding manner, causing Duke Fisher to take a deep look at Emilys.
He knew very well that this dragonborn was stepping down for him.
"As expected of a woman who can have a relationship with Weizeland Floating City, I didn't expect that baby girl back then had grown to this point."
Duke Fisher sighed in his heart.
When he came into contact with Emilys at close range, he noticed that Emilys's strength was strong, and the dragon bloodline had been discovered very deeply, at least it was a legendary middle-level!
No wonder she dared to come close, not afraid of my sudden attack.
Duke Fisher's thoughts turned sharply, but on the surface he did not forget to say: "When Mark rebelled, I never supported him. Even if he sat on the Iron Throne, the Duchy of Fisher did not really support him for so many years. He surrendered, and His Highness must know that I had a war with Mark not long ago."
"Yes, I heard."
Emily nodded, "It's a pity that the Duke was not able to destroy the usurper. However, this is also a good thing. What the Drogon Castle lost, naturally I, the legitimate heir to the throne of Congatro, personally Take back."
She walked up the steps and sat on the high-backed chair again, with a serious expression, and asked, "Your Majesty, since you are loyal to me, as my vassal, should you take on the obligations of a vassal?"
Duke Fisher said in his heart, come.
This should be the sincerity Lord Glamorgan just said.
He did not respond rashly, but humbly performed the etiquette of a vassal to the lord, and replied respectfully: "Please instruct Your Highness."
The corners of Emily's mouth rose slightly, she sat more upright, stretched out three fingers, and said loudly, "Three things."
"First, according to the law among the nobles of Congatro, the duke needs to pay a ransom for the captives to redeem your family and subordinate legions. The Fisher family owns the best port in Congatro, which has accumulated over many years. The wealth that has come down is countless, and I think five million golden dragons is a very suitable price."
She stopped here, waiting for Duke Fisher's response.
This ransom was not demanded for himself, but was used to pay for the wizards of Wezeland. For the wealthy Fisher family, five million gold dragons would not hurt the bones, but it was enough to make them feel heartache and pay. Don't dare to defect easily after the price.
Sure enough, Duke Fisher didn't have much reaction and nodded in agreement.
Emily continued to say: "Second, immediately summon all the noble lords in the Principality of Fisher, and rush to Runaway Castle within a day to participate in the canonization ceremony. Under the witness of Oceana, you publicly declare your allegiance to me. ."
The purpose of this request is very simple, it is to let Duke Fisher stand in public and block the back road.
The Fisher family's beliefs did not allow them to break their oath.
In addition, the canonization ceremony also announced the return of the Dragonborn to the Congatro Kingdom, and it was supported by the Fisher family, which is justifiable.
"Yes, I will immediately have someone notify my vassal that I will meet with His Royal Highness at River Run tomorrow." Duke Fisher readily agreed, his family's life is in the other's hands, and there is no room for negotiation.
"The third and last thing."
Emily had a smile on her face, the other party agreed to the first two conditions, a little bit of cannibalism, then there would be no overly violent response to further requirements, and solemnly said: "Please send at least half of your subordinates. The army will follow me in the crusade against the usurper, and you and the two counts will go together."
The two earls she was referring to were Edmure and Brinton, the two most outstanding sons of Duke Fisher and the heirs of the family, who became quite hostages.
The faces of the two people mentioned have changed slightly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If all three conditions are agreed, then they will be completely bound to the Dragonborn and become the enemy of Mark, and the Fisher family will have no way out.
If the Dragonborn fails to restore the country, it must be liquidated by Mark.
Duke Fisher was silent for a while.
His eyes swept across the three Wezeland Speakers on the steps, as well as the dragons and legends on the stage, as well as the Ultramarines standing around the hall, which shocked him and gave him a bit of confidence. .
Dragonborn has so many unfathomable helpers, and even a floating city behind it, the success rate of restoring the country is extremely high.
Thinking of the attitude of the **** of the river, it seems that even the gods have acquiesced.
Duke Fisher took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee again, and said loudly, "In the name of God, the Reach Legion will follow His Highness to the death, restore Congatro, and support the Drogon family on the throne."
