Chapter 7: When you are ready to surrender

They all knew that this was a sound unique to the army within their own kingdom, and it was conceivable that these must be soldiers sent by King Ragnar to resource his own army.

Farrington had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he was afraid that his credit would be taken away, but on the other hand, he felt relieved and happy that reinforcements had arrived.

In any case, seeing that Hosbens in front of him had been suppressed by Wals, he knew that the credit for this war would definitely be snatched away by Wu Wals.

Therefore, Farrington was not too worried. After all, the first credit had been taken away, so he naturally disdained the remaining small credits. Thinking of this, he picked up his ax again.

Thinking of the closest Swadian soldier, he pounced on him. The enemy soldiers in front of him were like pieces of thin paper, and were torn into pieces by him immediately.

After Farrington's men met up with the reinforcements from the Nord Kingdom, their morale was greatly boosted. On the other hand, after seeing that the First Army had received reinforcements, the morale of the Swadian Kingdom dropped again. It seemed that they had no hope anymore.

All the Swadian soldiers placed their hopes on Hospens, whom they regarded as a great hero, but now it seems that Hospens is unable to protect himself.

Hewitt led his part of the reinforcements and charged directly into the army of the Swadian Kingdom. His sword was as fast as the wind and every blow was deadly. Soon, the bodies of several Swadian soldiers lay in front of him.

Looking at the body lying on the ground with blood flowing, Hewitt couldn't help but sighed that the overall combat quality of the Swadian soldiers in this battle had declined.

He knew that the current situation was caused by the Swadian Kingdom's inability to recruit a large number of warriors and insufficient time to train these new recruits.

If Hewitt was asked to extract the soldiers from the city of Paraven, he would still find it difficult. However, when he felt that these new recruits were not strong enough, he naturally gave it a try and took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. The credit would definitely belong to him.

With strong belief, Hewitt charged into the enemy alone. His guards could not keep up with him at all. At this moment, he saw Walls.

It was a face that was so familiar to him that he could not be more familiar. He could not forget this person. It could be said that in recent times, he had stolen the limelight in the Nord Kingdom with Wals on his back.

Hewitt was just an ordinary businessman, and in the final analysis he was just a commoner, but Walls was a real aristocrat.

Although the noble was a down-and-out noble, his status was still higher than those commoners. In the circle of nobles, of course, Wals, who was also a noble, was more respected.

At this time, Walls actually suppressed an enemy general, and Hewitt could not recognize Hospens's face in the dark.

But he could still see that the woman's martial arts skills and her dress were completely different from those of the other soldiers. He already knew that this person was definitely the commander in this battle, or perhaps the supreme commander Hosbens.

This thought flashed through Hewitt's mind, but he quickly denied it and did not inquire about the news from the Nord soldiers here.

Hewitt couldn't be sure who was fighting against Walls, but he knew that Walls had killed a general, so his credit would naturally be increased.

It was natural that he would be appreciated by King Ragnar. Hewitt's mere merit of killing a few ordinary soldiers was simply insignificant compared to the merit of Walls.

Why does he get all the good things?

Hewitt shouted loudly in his heart. He knew that it would be irrational to go up and grab the credit from Walls at this moment. After all, everyone could see it clearly.

The battle was fought against the general of Wals Galaxy, and Hewitt was just a guy who intervened. Even if he killed that general.

I believe that no one present would acknowledge Hewitt's contribution. Even when it reached King Ragnar's ears, it was not acknowledged.

If you want to get the credit for killing the general, you must wait until the general kills Wals, or challenge the general again, but judging from the current situation on the battlefield.

Their side clearly had the advantage, and if this general retreated to fight Hewitt, Hewitt could get some credit for it.

But it is obviously impossible now. The Nordic Kingdom has surrounded the entire Suno, and no Swadian soldier can escape from the Nordic Kingdom's encirclement.

Hewitt was blinded by the jealousy. She was jealous of Walls and hoped that she could defeat Walls before he killed the general.

Then some of the credit will belong to you.

Jealousy gradually occupied Hewitt's heart, but fortunately he did not act out his jealousy, because someone's voice woke him up from his jealousy. That was his bodyguard.

His guards were calling out to him, for the simple reason that Hewitt had been surrounded by Swadian soldiers.

It seems that I have no chance. Hewitt, who was burning with jealousy, knew that he could not break through the encirclement of the Swadian soldiers in a short time, and the credit could only go to Wals.

However, Hewitt, who refused to admit defeat, still thought in his heart that he could achieve greater merits in order to gain the appreciation of King Ragnar.

Relying on his humble civilian origin, he was recognized by King Ragnar and became a real noble. Even becoming a great lord and getting a city as his fiefdom was what Hewitt dreamed of.

But Walls had no idea of ​​what was on Hugh's mind. He already knew that Farrington had received reinforcements and King Ragnar had sent them. Walls knew that he was not far from killing Hospens.

"Why, why do you guys have to chase us?" Hosbens was struggling in his death throes, he roared at Walls in front of him.

"A mercenary leader like you wants to kill us. I really don't understand why we lost."

After hearing Hosbens's shout, Walls fell into silence, but his silence did not slow down the speed of his sword swinging.

His sword was still as sharp as ever, and every move was enough to kill Hosbens. Hosbens's verbal attacks were like air to Walls.

It didn't cause any waves in Walls' heart. In such a chaotic world, in such a war-torn era, no one would find such an answer.

People have actually found the answer long ago, but no one is willing to reveal it. Even Hospens is still trying to figure out what the answer is.

But she didn't dare to say it out loud or face it, so she had to rely on others to tell the answer.

Wals did not answer or answer the question himself. Instead, he drastically increased the speed of swinging his sword in the following period of time. The sword became faster and faster, sweeping down like a whirlwind.

This series of attacks forced Hospens into a dead end. He had no way to deal with such fierce attacks from Walls. He could only endure such attacks silently.

Passively in a defensive state, Walls knew that victory was not far away.

Hewitt continued to kill the Swadian soldiers in front of him. Looking at the corpses of the Swadian soldiers piled up in front of him, Hewitt's heart, which was originally filled with jealousy, slowly dissipated.

Immersed in the joy of such a battle, he gradually forgot everything else. Even his jealousy towards Wals had dissipated.

But things happened to take a turn at this moment, and the person in front of Hewitt made him fall into deep thought. Hewitt knew exactly what Wals looked like.

Hewitt still remembered the appearance of his men more or less, and at this moment, he could see Aileyon holding a knife against a man's neck.

It seemed that Airen was using this person to threaten others. Xiu Yishi could keenly observe that the Swadian soldiers near Airen seemed unable to move freely.

There was only one person Hewitt knew, and that was Willis, who had once fought with O'Donnell on the walls of Paraven against a force led by Hewitt.

Although Hewitt had never fought Willis head-on, he still knew Willis's reputation. O'Donnell was able to fight ten people on the city wall alone and killed several Nord royal guards with one move.

It can be seen that O'Donnell's martial arts are incomparable to ordinary people. Even in such a situation where he is out of ammunition and food, O'Donnell still shows his inhuman side.

Then Willis, who was as famous as O'Donnell, must be better at martial arts than O'Donnell. Now O'Donnell was dead, and Willis was captured by Aileyon again.

Hewitt felt that he had no chance to make any contribution. Of the three great heroes of the Kingdom of Swadia, one was dead, one was captured, and the other was dying. Hewitt could see that Hosbens was also not far from death.

And at this moment, the jealous thought that should have dissipated suddenly gathered again like a ghost, and slowly, Hewitt's heart was filled with jealousy again.

He was unwilling to see that all the credit was taken away by Walsh and Woot's men. When O'Donnell was killed, it was not Hewitt who killed him personally.

Instead, he was killed by an ordinary soldier of you, a lord of the Nord Kingdom. O'Donnell's death was caused by countless Nord soldiers.

Hewitt also knew that in the south, Uxhall, the last remaining city of the Kingdom of Swadia, would be Hewitt's last chance to demonstrate its capabilities.

Although the Nordic Kingdom will face more challenges after the end of the conquest of the Kingdom of Swadia, by that time, those who are appreciated by King Ragnar will surely receive a large amount of fiefdom.

Hewitt, a guy who aspires to become a noble, must want to obtain a large amount of fiefdoms, but in order to obtain a large amount of fiefdoms, he must obtain a large amount of military merits.

After obtaining the fiefdom, you will have a stable income. With sufficient income, you can support an elite army and make more military achievements in the future.

They all rely on an elite army. Gradually, such military exploits will snowball and their fiefdoms will also grow larger.

Hewitt obviously wanted this to happen to him. He worked tirelessly for it, and now was the best opportunity.

A fleeting thought occurred to Hewitt that he should let Willis go after he fled to Uxhall.

If Hewitt fights Willis once more, then Hewitt can make a contribution and kill one of the three heroes. In that case, he will be rewarded, no less than Walsh's **.

These three heroes were the three major obstacles for the Nordic Kingdom to conquer the Swadian Kingdom. After Hewitt removed one of these obstacles, King Ragnar's reward must have been considerable.

Hewitt began to tremble all over, and his guards suddenly didn't understand why their master suddenly stopped attacking, although the number of enemy soldiers in front of them was slowly decreasing.

But after all, this does not mean that we are in a safe area now.

Hewitt was still hesitating whether he should implement such a plan. If he was sure that he could kill Willis, then this plan would be feasible. If he could not complete it.

If I cannot accomplish this, let the Kingdom of Nord be buried with me.

This crazy idea popped up in Hewitt's mind. Then a scream came, and Hewitt immediately decided to implement this plan. That scream was not made by someone else.

The most thrilling scene from a battlefield appeared. Wals's long sword accurately pierced Hosbens' waist, blood gushed out, and Hosbens suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, which splashed on Wals' face.

Walsh didn't blink, he just looked at the opponent in front of him, this was a powerful opponent. But he has passed away now.

At the same time, the Swadian soldiers who were watching the battle from the periphery were so terrified that they were in disarray.

You have already lost their generals, they have lost their fighting spirit, they were already on the brink of collapse, now without weapons they are physically unable to withstand the enemy.

He could not outwit their enemies. Death was all that awaited them. If they did not flee, they would return to their most primitive state and become a pile of ashes.

Hewitt has decided to let Willis go. After he escapes to Uxhall, he will kill Willis again with his own hands. But before that, he must not let Willis be killed by North Wales.

Airen seemed to have known that Walls had killed Hosbens. He saw the terrified expressions on the faces of the fleeing soldiers. They had lost their fighting spirit.

The leader was dead, and they were like a pack of wolves without a leader, unable to organize an effective attack. Some wanted to escape, and some wanted to fight.

Unable to unite as one, they scattered about. Those who remained to resist were killed by the Nord soldiers, and those who escaped hid in the clouds and ran into the homes of the civilians.

They huddled in a corner of the city and trembled. The Kingdom of Nord had already put the entire city under blockade. They had nowhere to escape. Either surrender or be killed. There was no other choice.

Some of the Swadian soldiers finally gave up their last dignity and surrendered to the Nord soldiers, who naturally treated the prisoners well.

At this moment, if we can reduce the number of enemies as much as possible, then we will reduce their presence, thus preserving their strength, so as to gain a greater chance of victory in the next battle.

Farrington looked at Walls with admiration. He knew that his strength was far inferior to Walls's. It was clearly seen from the battle with Hosbens just now.

Wals's martial arts were superior to his. It seemed that he had snatched away too many opportunities for Wals to show his abilities in the city of Paraven. Otherwise, Wals would definitely be the overall commander of this battle.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Farrington commanded his soldiers to start the final battle against the city. At present, only Uxhall is left in the Kingdom of Swadia.

No one could guarantee that Uxhall would be held, and no one could guarantee that the Kingdom of Swadia would not be destroyed. Hosbens and O'Donnell had been killed.

Only one Velis was left, and he was also captured. What kind of big waves could the Kingdom of Swadia have? Those lords who were entrenched in their own territories had already been harboring evil intentions since the moment their castles were breached.

Although those lords who stick to their morals have declared that they are determined to resist the Nord Kingdom, King Ragnar knows about these lords who resist.

Sooner or later they will become their subordinates. There is no doubt that there will always be a group of people in this world who are willing to sell out their morals for the sake of profit.

Those who cling to morality will eventually be killed by death. King Ragnar is a rare talent who guides those lords who are loyal to their monarch.

Because their loyalty is the cornerstone of the entire country, King Ragnar naturally hopes that there are enough people loyal to him in his country, but for those loyal ministers of the empire.

King Ragnar was helpless, and it was obviously impossible to poach them. Facing a monarch who had destroyed their country, these loyal lords would not surrender.

After occupying the entire Kingdom of Swadia, King Ragnar naturally wanted to grant some territories to his lords to highlight their military exploits. This was a reward for their contributions to the war.

Naturally, King Ragnar would promote more people who were loyal to him and grant them more territories to expand their strength.

If he put this territory into the hands of someone he did not trust, King Ragnar would definitely be unable to sleep or eat.

Ruth had already killed Hosbens in front of him. Several soldiers near Hosbens wanted to rush forward to avenge their master, but Wals' eyes never left Hosbens's body.

Looking at the hero he killed with his own hands, it can be said that he was a great hero admired by the entire Swadia Kingdom, but at such a time, he killed this hero.

The dream of reviving the entire Swadian Kingdom had been shattered. The new recruits from Hosbens who rushed over were simply unable to block Wals's attack.

In the midst of the flashing of swords and sabers, those soldiers had already lost their heads before they had a real fight with Wals, leaving only a few more corpses on the ground.

Wals also knew that he had killed so many Swadian soldiers, and now was the time to win over the hearts of the people. Ordinary civilians in Swadia did not want to live in an era of war.

Wals also knew that those territories originally within the Nordic Kingdom belonged to the old lords, and it was impossible for him to get anything on the Nordic Kingdom itself.

If he wanted to gain new territory and obtain a fiefdom, he must establish the fiefdom on top of the Kingdom of Swadia. If he wanted to rule the people of Swadia, he must show enough kindness to them.

"We will never harm the surrendered soldiers and will give them the treatment they deserve!"

Wals said to the nearby Swadian soldiers that all of this was to win over the hearts of the people and demonstrate Wals' generosity and kindness. Only in this way could he gather enough people's hearts.

So at this moment, what Wallace needs to show is very important.

The fighting power of the Swadian Knights is renowned throughout the continent, but they were not in an advantageous terrain in the previous battles.

Wals had already decided that he would now form such a powerful cavalry team, and he himself would be the commander of this cavalry team.

After hearing what Walls said, those who had originally planned to escape or resist were all shaken in their determination to surrender after seeing their companions surrender one after another.

A large number of Swadian soldiers chose to surrender. They no longer had any fighting spirit. The situation had begun to tilt in favor of the Nordic Kingdom.

"He's running, he's running, go and stop him quickly." a soldier shouted.

Just when most of the Swadian soldiers had laid down their weapons and were ready to surrender.
