A week later, Rogge was ready to fight the rebellion.

In order to make a decision, Rogge, who was accustomed to fighting less, mobilized 50,000 troops, almost half of the country's troops and all the elite troops, and slowly approached the cliff town where the Bauhinia Butterfly troops gathered.

Faced with an enemy that was twenty times more than it already, Bauhinia Butterfly was not panicked. As a last resort, she could retreat into the central mountain range and use the deep mountains and superior enemy to play hide-and-seek. In her opinion, Roger's use of troops is far worse than Charlie. Who would be so stupid to face the enemy head-on with such a large army?

But Roger's army stopped for some reason on the edge of the occupied area for some reason. The Bauhinia Butterfly, who was ready to go, was not busy retreating, and she wanted to see what Roger was going to do.

During these days, Roger took the time to go to Fortress Wright and met Dulin. Those who walked with him also had all the relatives of Dulin that he could find.

The fat man originally meant to ask Dulin to write a letter to his sister whom he had not seen for many years, urging her not to oppose Lord Rog, surrender honestly, and do something practical for the people of the Principality. Of course, Rogge himself would not come forward, and the one who came forward to persuade Dulin was Horn, who had shared allegiance with him to the Kingdom of Latvia.

If Dulin refuses to surrender, then every day, Horn will take down the head of one of the Dulin family.

In fact, if Du Lin's parents were willing to come out to persuade their son and daughter, the effect would be much better. However, the old couple would rather die than follow, and Roger had no choice but to come up with this bad strategy. However, the northern people have a strong personality and the effect is still difficult to tell.

Sure enough, Dulin just replied to Horn indifferently that there would never be a coward in the Dulin family who was afraid of death. In the three days before Roger arrived, Horn threatened and intimidated him in every possible way, but he still could not make Dulin surrender.

At this time, the Fortress of Wright had been completely transformed into a large prison, with more than 10,000 troops stationed here, guarding more than 40,000 prisoners. The warden knew that the responsibility was serious, and that there was a volcano sitting under his butt, so he was cautious in everything and never dared to ignore it. He even ordered that only one-third of the rations be distributed to each prisoner, but he still had to engage in heavy labor every day. He had to exhaust the physical strength of these prisoners to avoid accidents.

The only thing that is reasonable is that sick prisoners will receive careful care. In fact, this is deeply disliked by Grand Duke Kree of Leighton, and Fortress Wright is in Leighton's territory, so the warden was under tremendous pressure. However, Roger and Marshal Elams supported his approach, and then he pushed him down.

Kerry was very afraid of the active volcano of Wright Fortress. His original intention was to kill all of these 40,000 people, which would be better than worrying and worrying every day. Of course, this crazy plan was stopped by Rogue again.

As soon as Roger arrived at Fortress Wright, he immediately made an appointment with Dulin alone.

Dulin, who was imprisoned for a long time, was still full of energy and neatly dressed. According to the tradition of the Northern Kingdom, Wright Prison gave enough courtesy to the former supreme commander of the coalition forces.

This was the first time Dulin met Roger.

Although he had heard of Roger's ordinary appearance, he still did not expect that the great conspirator who easily ruined the Holy Alliance was such a fat man with a bad appearance. But for some reason, he always felt very uncomfortable when sitting opposite Roger, as if there was something in the fat man's eyes that made him instinctively scared.

As soon as Du Lin sat down, Roger asked, "General Du Lin, which is more important, your personal life or the lives of all your soldiers?"

Du Lin replied without hesitation: "Of course it is the life of my subordinates! It is the basic responsibility of any qualified commander to cherish the life of every soldier."

Roger asked again: "What if it compares to your personal honor?"

"The life of a warrior is more important than anything else!" Du Lin replied solemnly.

"Very good, you finally decided to surrender, I'm so glad."

Du Lin sneered and said, "Are you confused?"

Roger said lightly: "Grand Duke Kry wants to kill all the prisoners in the Fortress of Wright several times. If I hadn't stopped you, you and your subordinates would have become corpses long ago. But after all, Wright Fortress is in the territory of Leighton, now I need a reason to stop Kry Kry from killing people. Your personal honor is my reason. For the lives of your 40,000 subordinates, surrender."

Dulin stood up and sat down. He never expected Roger to put forward such a condition. He finally replied: "Slaughter 40,000 prisoners of war! I don't believe Kerry can do such a crazy thing!"

Roger frowned and said, "General Dulin, you are still too young. Kings of all generations have never done anything? Is it necessary to think about the little thing about killing 40,000 people?"

Dulin's forehead was bulging with blue veins, and he slammed the table suddenly and roared: "The Latvian warriors will not surrender or surrender! If you want to massacre, it's not that easy!"

Seeing this, the two guards behind him hurriedly stepped forward to try to subdue Dulin, but were knocked to the ground by him in a blink of an eye. Dulin pulled out the sword of a guard and wanted to pounce on Roger. He knew that Roger had a respectable status, and as long as he subdued this fat man, he might be able to exchange for the freedom of 40,000 soldiers in the fortress.

Roger muttered something, but Du Lin didn't hear it clearly, but he didn't care. Maybe the fat man was frightened and was talking nonsense! He swung his sword, and he expected that the sword would steadily stop on the fat man's neck.

The fat man suddenly raised his hand and pointed at him. Du Lin's whole body became numb and could no longer move.

"Parass! How is that possible?" Dulin then remembered that Roger was a great magician, but why didn't he see him chanting a spell? Could it be that the vague words just now were a spell? This is too short!

Roger stood up and swung his powerful punch on Dulin's face, knocking him out!

Finally, Du Lin slowly got up. His face was covered in blood and his nose was broken.

"It's so easy to kill you forty thousand people." Roger sneered and sat down calmly.

Dulin wiped the blood from his nose and sat down in front of Roger again.

"General Dulin, I didn't expect you to be such a selfish person. For personal honor, you actually disregard the life and death of tens of thousands of warriors. Very well, we don't need to continue talking. From today on, I will completely hand over the Fortress of Wright to the Kingdom of Layton, and tomorrow I will withdraw the five thousand people stationed here. If you want to incite the riot, there is still one day to consider planning." Roger said and stood up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Dulin finally called Roger and asked, "How do I... know if what you said is true?"

Roger laughed and said, "Durin, I just want to save the lives of your 40,000 prisoners, but I didn't expect you to be so indecisive and would not provide me with a reason to save your lives! The information inside and outside of the Fortress is now completely isolated, and you should understand what this means. We can make a bet. Once my troops are withdrawn, Grand Duke Kree will kill you all within a month!"

Seeing that Du Lin was still hesitating, Roger said coldly: "If you are impatient and can't wait for a month, that's fine. I will notify all the prisoners. Every day you drag and don't surrender, I will draw a hundred soldiers out to kill them. 40,000 people can kill for more than a year, so that most people can live longer. Du Lin, don't you understand? You have no choice now. Even if I'm lying to you, you can only bet!"

Du Lin sat down dejectedly, hugged his head with both hands, and whispered: "Give me some time and let me think about it."

Roger frowned and said unhappy: "You are also a general, who has led the army, why are you so mother-in-law? Don't you think about it, this is paper and pen. Don't you have a sister you haven't seen for many years? Write her a letter and write down all the things today. To be honest, it doesn't matter. Tell her that for the sake of the people of Latvia, she will surrender quickly, and it will be no good if she goes against me."

Du Lin said: "My sister? Isn't she in Yunxiao City?"

"Yunxiao City sent her back to organize the rebel army. I will immediately lead troops to suppress the rebellion. With your letter, you may be able to protect her life."

Du Lin firmly pushed the paper and pen back and said, "I will not persuade her to surrender, I am proud of her! If she can die in battle gloriously, it will be the duty of a soldier!"

Roger sneered: "How did you know that Yunxiao City is cleaner than me? Death for the people is completely different from being a lackey. If you don't want to persuade you to surrender, then write down your decision and reason for today's surrender truthfully, as a reference for her!"

Du Lin snorted and said, "I can write this. But if you think she will surrender for my brother, you're very wrong, just like I will never surrender because of her life and death."

Rogge smiled and said, "As long as her qualities are as noble as you said, you will never escape my palms. If you really want to do something good for your warriors and the people of Latvia, then serve me! A real warrior will not care about worldly evaluations, let history comment on your merits and demerits! For the people, it is true that they can live a better life, and it doesn't matter who rule. You swear to be loyal to the Latvian royal family, but if the people live better under my rule than in the past, then do you think your loyalty is right or wrong?"

Du Lin said slowly: "Mr. Roger, although I am in prison, I have heard a little about what Xia Shang did. What do you say about this?"

Roger said decisively: "I have heard of this, and when I quell the rebellion, I will immediately investigate Xia Shang."

"What if the rumors are true?"

Rogerson said: "Those who are guilty will be punished. What I fear the least is killing people!"

Du Lin nodded resolutely and said, "I can bear the stigma of a traitor, as long as you can fulfill your promise."

Roger laughed and said, "Very good! You'll see that the people of Latvia live much better than the royal era."

After a few days of rest, Roger returned to the army and continued to march towards the cliff town. The Bauhinia Butterfly got this information immediately and immediately mobilized the troops to be ready to retreat into the central mountain range at any time.

However, a series of sudden changes disrupted her arrangement.

First, the two rebel leaders who led to the division of the rebel army suddenly announced that for the happiness of the Latvian people, they would end the war as soon as possible, and would hold talks with Rogge to discuss the conditions for the surrender. They claimed that Rogge was a great king, but was deceived by his subordinates when they were on the empire. Now Rogge has promised them to severely punish Xia Shang and his accomplices, and promised to bring a richer life to the people.

What's even more vicious is that they accuse the Bauhinia Butterfly of refusing to surrender was entirely for personal gain. She ignored her life and death, colluded with the devil and insisted on dragging the people into the war. Her only purpose was to establish a Bauhinia dynasty and become the first queen of the dynasty.

As for other rumors accusing the Bauhinia butterfly of being promiscuous and boastful, they were flying all over the sky, vividly, and their spread was surprisingly fast.

As a moonlit knight, it is the most basic requirement to fully grasp the situation. But even though she was extremely calm, she was so angry that she shivered after hearing a series of rumors that she used her body to seduce the demons.

But these are not big deals. A letter sent by Roger next put her in a dilemma.

The letter written by his brother Dulin had nothing else except explaining the process and reasons for surrender. The Bauhinia Butterfly circulated the letter to the three Druid consultants. She could clearly see that although these senior Druids were understandable, they were obviously despised.

The Bauhinia Butterfly sighed quietly.

She understands her brother.

She understood how courage it would take to resolutely give up personal glory and bear the blame of the people, subordinates, and even comrades who fought side by side before.

In fact, the ones who really benefited in the end were these people who would scold the most fiercely.

Can history really give a fair evaluation? Even if so, how can those historians know the real reason behind these difficult decisions?

But what made her embarrassed was a notice sent by Roger, which was publicly circulated to the entire occupied area.

The content of the notice is very simple: the people in Qiaobi Town colluded with the rebels and were regarded as rebels and were executed. No matter who hiding, the same crime was committed.

The Bauhinia Butterfly's hand holding the announcement could not help but tremble slightly. The Druid's consultants also looked at each other and said angrily: "This demon actually wants to massacre the city! It's really inhumane, but unfortunately I didn't get rid of this devil earlier."

The Bauhinia Butterfly ignored these useless nonsense, and she was struggling.

Have you given up these townspeople? These simple people have been supporting her with all their heart and soul! How can they feel if they want to leave them to wait for Roger at this moment?

But will these townsmen escape together? Then they will inevitably be caught up by Roger's army and eventually destroyed.

Druid's consultants were all looking at the Bauhinia butterfly, waiting for her decision. Time was tight at this moment and it was already very delayed.

The Bauhinia Butterfly's lips were pale and bloodless. Her hands were shaking and her heart was struggling. The correct decision was placed there, which was very obvious.

But how could she?

Qiaobi Town is her hometown!

At this moment, the knock on the door sounded softly, breaking the deathly silence in the room.

The old mayor, who was in his early 80s, walked in. The old man's steps were slow but firm. His old voice was free and easy to see through the world: "Child, we already know the notice of the tyrant Roger. I know that you must be in a very difficult situation now. There are more than 2,000 elderly people, women and children in the town. It is impossible for us to escape Roger's pursuit. We have discussed just now. The strong and strong people who can endure hardships will follow you. Let's stay. Anyway, we can't escape death in the end, so why not die a little more vigorously? It's just... it's a pity for those children."

The old mayor sighed.

The Bauhinia Butterfly slowly raised her eyes, and the eyes of several Druid consultants subconsciously avoided, but they could still see their relief expressions.

She suddenly felt disgust in her heart. Since the war started, these high-level druids have always intervened in decision-making, but they only have a little understanding of military strategy. Their reason is nothing more than participating in decision-making to better exert combat effectiveness in combat. But how can we use druids with strong personal combat power and well-trained Ice Wind Warriors, and how can the Bauhinia Butterfly, a moonlit knight, not know?

But when the real problem is coming, none of these druids are willing to stand up. This decision will be criticized no matter what. She suddenly suspected that if it really comes to a critical moment when the battle is necessary, are these druids really reliable?

The Bauhinia butterfly sighed secretly.

Let me bear all the sins alone...

She nodded, her voice as cold as the cold wind blowing from the ice purgatory: "That's what it's decided. Those who can keep up with our pace will gather in the military camp tonight."

This escape trip is definitely not easy to go. In addition to the pursuit of Roger's elite troops, there will also be hunters like locusts.

In the early morning of the next day, the Bauhinia Butterfly's troops gathered outside the town. The townsmen who could not evacuate all came outside the town and quietly watched the troops and relatives on the opposite side.

No tears, no emotion.

Only the wind is howling.
To be continued...
