Chapter 1125: Persuade To Surrender

"Surrender!"


Woodrick rode slowly in front of the family alliance army. The families loyal to Tangerio raised their golden twin lion flags and left the array, converging on the left and right flanks of the Imperial Army like streams. After they left, the originally thick formation of the Alliance Army became sparse. One could see that the faces of the warriors were filled with confusion and fear. After all, the situation was changing now, and no one could calm down.


Moreover, Mason and Tangerio were currently fighting. Without Mason, they were still just a pile of loose sand.


Woodrick continued to advise, "You have no chance of winning, no matter if it is troops or experts. Besides, the Great Emperor is currently on a personal expedition, do you think that Mason can defeat His Majesty? Or do you want to bet on this usurper, Mason?"


"I have to remind you, this is your last chance. I don't know what Mason promised you, but I can tell you that none of his promises will be honored! If you risk everything, you and your family will be betrayed after you fail here. This humiliation will be with your children and grandchildren until the end of your bloodline! Woodrick roared, "Think about it. Is it worth it for a Mason?"


Julian gripped his horse and rode up to Woodrick. "I know very well what kind of man Father is. He has a stern side, but he is not lacking in kindness. If you surrender now, I can plead with him on your behalf. You will be forgiven and preserve your honor. Gentlemen, hell and heaven are only in your minds!" He shouted.


The identity of the Second Prince was the last straw that overwhelmed the Alliance Army's heart at this moment. A clan elder sighed and jumped off his horse. "Please forgive us, Your Highness. We have been blinded by greed and ambition. We have betrayed the trust of the empire and the glory of our clan. On behalf of the Tangany clan, I hereby announce our surrender," Mason personally took off the banner of Blaze Fort and knelt down on one knee in front of Julian Horse.


All the people belonging to this clan dismounted and knelt down on one knee. Everyone lowered their heads, put down their weapons, and said in unison, "Your Highness, please forgive us."


With a precedent, there were no psychological barriers to the surrender of the others. In an instant, most of the clans chose to surrender. Only one or two clans were still unwilling to accept it, and under the roar of the clan leader, they still launched their charge. In front of Blaze Fort, Mason's cavalry similarly launched an attack. However, to Woodrick's side, such an attack was akin to using eggs to strike stones.


Woodrick quickly reacted, leaving the surrendering clans to deal with the stubborn ones, while the Imperial Army returned to kill the remnants of Blaze Fort. Woodrick intended to eat them all in one breath.


The outcome of the battle on the ground could already be predicted at the end of the battle. At this moment, another dull and loud sound of collisions could be heard from the sky. Allen raised his head and saw that the Flame River and the sun were rapidly heading south. The two super experts of the empire were moving to the battlefield. When he saw Julian's hesitation, Alan smiled and went to the Second Prince and asked, "Your Highness, if you want to watch the battle, I will accompany you."


Julian was overjoyed. He knew very well that experts like Tangerio could not cross their battlefield. Even if he managed to squeeze himself into the battle, he would still be injured by the aftermath of the battle. However, it would be different if Allen accompanied him. Allen had not reached the level of a Ten Saints yet, but he was more than enough to protect himself in the battlefield. After informing Woodrick, Julian and Alan rode off, chasing after the sun and the river of flames that were setting south.


Clay, with a baby face, was walking among the rebels on foot, Facing the charge of the knight, his face still had a harmless look on it. He even snorted a tune from an unknown place. Then, he waved his fingers at the charging cavalry. The cavalry was still a distance away from him, but during the sprint, their bodies split apart. By the time they reached him, they had already rolled to the ground and shattered into pieces.


"You people, surrender honestly. It's rare for His Highness the Second Prince to be so generous and benevolent. He refused to seize such a good opportunity. No wonder you all look so short-lived. Sigh, I'll just be a good person once. If I die at my hands, it'll be better for me to return to the imperial capital alive and undergo all kinds of interrogations." "Believe me, that's worse than death," Clay said with a squinted smile. "Oh, that's not good."


He looked clumsy as he moved to the side, but he easily gave way to the blade of a cavalry. Just as he was about to wave his hand to finish off the knight, a figure suddenly emerged from the horse's abdomen. Then, his eyes were filled with countless saber lights. Clay's smile froze as he flicked his hands, but the other party's saber light in the air shone with lightning sparks. Clay clasped his hands together, and the man retracted his saber and slid backwards. He looked at Clay with half-kneeling posture.


Clay spread out his hands and said, "Dear Renice, I knew you would come, but can't you come later?"


'"You shouldn't have betrayed him, Clay," Renice said expressionlessly. "That way I wouldn't have to do anything to you. After all, you're a terrible person, but you've done a pretty good job roasting chicken."


'"So you know how to admire me, then why don't you consider surrendering? No matter what, your boss's chances of winning aren't high. Anyway, it's not a loss for you to come here. I can ask His Majesty to forgive you for everything you did before, and you can continue eating the roasted chicken I made. How about it?" josei


"Sounds good, but unfortunately, it won't work." Renice stood up, the dagger in her hand spinning nimbly, pulling out round saber lights. "Ever since I was eight years old, when my lord gave me a piece of bread, my life has been mine. If Sir is destined to die here today, then I am willing to be buried with him. Until then, of course, I think I have a way to drag the shameless traitor into the grave. "


Clay waved his hand. "Then don't look for me. A dark place like the grave isn't for me. Besides, I was loyal to His Majesty in the beginning. It's just that Mason misunderstood me."


"Cut the crap, Clay. Stand still. It'll save us all a lot of trouble." Renice took a step forward and charged straight at him.


"Can't you not be so enthusiastic?" Clay raised his fingers and energy threads formed from Origin Energy surged around his body. He was like a spider weaving a web of energy silk, and Renise was heading towards the web. Clay sighed softly, "Although I know that I am liked, if the girl is too enthusiastic, I will also be quite annoyed."


He pushed his hands forward, and hundreds of threads of Origin Energy swam like snakes, wrapping around Renice from mid-air and from the ground. These two killers, who used to belong to Mason, began their first and final confrontation on this battlefield.
