Chapter 1417: The Lonely City of Orleans

The 200,000 Britannian troops, divided into three groups, soon arrived at the gates of Orleans.

However, after arriving at the gates of Orleans, the 200,000 Britannian troops did not launch any attacks.

They just quietly surrounded Orleans.

Moreover, the encirclement of Orleans was very rough, with various loopholes everywhere.

It seemed that they did not want to surround Orleans at all...

A black-haired young man, escorted by hundreds of cavalrymen, rode slowly towards the northern wall of Orleans, which had created the miracle of "lost and recovered".

Then he stopped outside the range of the crossbows of the Orleans defenders.

"I am the commander-in-chief of the Britannian army - Su Cheng!"

"Excuse me, is your commander-in-chief - Lord Bar de Rue here?"

After the black-haired young man rode his horse and stopped outside the range of the crossbows of the Orleans defenders, he directly introduced his name to the soldiers of the Orleans defenders in the slightly accented Rolin language.

As soon as the black-haired young man, Su Cheng, finished speaking, the defenders on the walls of Orleans were immediately in an uproar.

After receiving the news, Barr immediately led a group of generals to climb the northern wall of Orleans.

Although he had heard of Su Cheng's name for a long time, this was the first time that Barr saw Su Cheng's true appearance with his own eyes.

He looked the same as described in the rumors - too young.

It was really hard to imagine that such a young man would be the 13th unified knight of the Britannia Empire, a terrible commander that the enemy's generals and soldiers were afraid of.

"I am Bar de Lu!" Bar responded loudly, "I don't know why the commander-in-chief of the Britannia Army suddenly came to me?!"

"If you are here to persuade us to surrender, then please go back!"

"We will never surrender!"

As soon as Barr finished speaking, Su Cheng sneered with a mocking look.

"Hehe."

"I'm not here to persuade you to surrender."

"I'm here to persuade you to obey your emperor's orders!"

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Bal's pupils shrank suddenly.

And Su Cheng continued to speak loudly:

"You should have received the edict from the central government, right?"

"Your emperor has decided to surrender unconditionally!"

"I ask you all to lay down your weapons and give up resistance!"

"Baer, ​​as a minister of the country, do you still want to disobey the emperor's order?!"

Su Cheng's words just now were all in Rolin language.

Although there was a slight accent, it was still clear.

All the soldiers on the walls of Orleans clearly heard Su Cheng's "advice".

Then - there was an uproar.

At present, only the senior generals and Jeanna in the city knew that "Queen Bella" had decided to surrender unconditionally.

Ordinary soldiers did not know the news yet.

These ordinary soldiers were all terrified and at a loss at this time.

They came to stop the invaders and defend the country.

But now the government of this country has decided to surrender.

Then what is the point of them staying here?

Bal's face was dark, and he responded loudly:

"Nonsense! Our Majesty has not decided to surrender to you!"

"Our Majesty is still determined to fight to the end!"

After that, Bal looked up and shouted to the ordinary soldiers in his army:

"Don't be fooled by Su Cheng's sweet words!"

"He is just here to hit our morale!"

"Don't be afraid! Don't panic!"

Hearing Bal's words, the ordinary soldiers who were originally terrified finally calmed down a little.

However - Su Cheng had expected Bal to say this.

After laughing a few times, Su Cheng continued to shout to Bal in a mocking tone:

"In that case - then you continue to wait slowly in this city!"

"See if there are any supplies delivered to this city from the rear!"

After that, Su Cheng turned his horse's head and returned to their Britannia Army under the protection of the guards.

Not long after, the Britannia Empire, which had formed a rough encirclement, took action again.

Still did not launch an attack on Orleans.

Instead, it directly lifted the siege of Orleans and moved north.

200,000 troops camped at the northern skyline of Orleans.

Standing on the top of the northern wall of Orleans, you can just see the Britannia Army flags and the flags of each regiment rising at the northern skyline.

The Britannia Army did not surround Orleans.

It just camped to the north of Orleans.

If supplies were to be sent, the supply team could still pass through the south of Orleans and send supplies into the city continuously.

…

…

Bar originally still held a glimmer of hope.

Hope that this edict was forged.

Hope that supplies were still coming into Orleans.

Hope that Queen Bella did not give up the fight.

However... the truth is very cruel...

The supply team did not arrive in Orleans on time to deliver the supplies...

The envoy who went to Tuli to check the situation also brought quite cruel news after returning...

After arriving in Tuli, the envoy found that the flag of their Roland Empire was no longer flying on the wall of Tuli.

Instead, the flag of the Britannia Empire was flying...

It was not just Tuli.

Almost all the cities that the envoy passed along the way were like this...

The flag of their Rolin Empire was no longer flying on the city walls.

Instead, it was flying the flag of the Britannia Empire...

The waiter even had an illusion - in the entire Rolin Empire, it seemed that only Orleans was left with the flag of the Rolin Empire.

The envoy did not dare to approach Tuli, which no longer flew the flag of the Rolin Empire, but the flag of the Britannia Empire.

There was no need to approach Tuli.

After all - Tuli flew the flag of the Britannia Empire, which had already declared a cruel fact.

After learning this cruel news from the returning envoy, Barr did not hide it.

He directly summoned all the senior generals in the city and told them this cruel fact.

...

...

After Barr's voice fell, the room fell into a long silence.

After a long time, Eugene took the lead to speak and break the silence.

"Hahahaha..."

Eugène laughed dryly for a few times, and then said in a relaxed tone:

"That... Even if His Majesty has decided to surrender, we can disobey his order."

"We can continue to use this Orleans as our base and fight the Britannians to the end..."

Eugène's voice became smaller and smaller.

He became less and less confident.

Because Eugene himself felt that what he had just said was ridiculous.

The central government of the empire has decided to surrender.

The surrender edict has spread all over the country.

Many cities have hung the flag of the Britannian Empire...

What's the point of them refusing to surrender even if they would rather die than surrender?

Can refusing to surrender even if they would rather die defeat the Britannian army? Can the Rolling Empire continue to exist?

Now they can't even guarantee supplies, how can they defeat the Britannian army and continue the Rolling Empire?
