"My name isn't General Turtle!"
The chilling voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth; Old Jenny hated being called by that name the most.
The formation of the Legion Behemoth is related to the commander's way of leading troops. He led troops throughout his life and was extremely good at defense. He was also good at finding the right opportunity to strike and kill. It is not surprising that the Legion Behemoth is a giant tortoise.
But that doesn't mean he likes being called General Turtle.
Looking at the white-haired veteran, Su Qing felt a pang of sympathy: "Then I'll call you Squirtle from now on!"
The old general wanted to overturn the table, but after gathering his anger for a while, he decided not to argue with the dragon: "If you really dare to let them go back, what if I surrender to you!"
He couldn't believe that the dragon would be so stupid; the 50,000-strong army was already half of the Royal Kingdom's military strength.
If they are all massacred, the Principality of Roland will not recover for at least ten years.
After a few years of recuperation, the Dragon Territory will easily take over the Duchy of Roland and become the most powerful force among the northwestern states. It may take another ten years or so to unify the northwest.
In fact, this is also the strategic objective of the Duchy of Roland.
However, a small accident has occurred.
Su Qing looked at the old man strangely. Was the other man underestimating her?
He couldn't possibly subdue those 50,000 people, at least not most of them.
Therefore, it would not benefit him, but killing them all would not only be troublesome, but also a loss for the future.
As Su Qing's dragon claws slapped, the clouds in mid-air slowly descended and gradually dissipated.
The 50,000-strong army landed with blank expressions, somewhat at a loss.
Although the feeling of having their feet firmly on the ground was reassuring, now that their supreme commander had been captured, they didn't know if they would have to continue fighting that dragon.
But without a commander, without a core, and unable to form a battle formation, how can this battle be fought?
The soldiers looked bewildered, while Old Jenny had a complicated expression. He really hadn't expected that the other side would actually dare to let these 50,000 people leave.
He took a few steps forward.
Among the four people behind Su Qing, the burly man picked up a hammer, looking very wary: "This old man isn't trying to run away, is he? Should we kill him now?"
silence!
All three remained silent. The heavily armored knight looked at the burly man and thought, "Even though you've become someone else's mercenary, your change of allegiance is too quick!"
Should I say you're really brainless and stubborn, or that you're a cunning fool in disguise?
"fine!"
Su Qing stopped the burly man, not caring about the matter. If the old man really dared to betray them, then he would just kill him.
His interest in this old man stemmed from a fondness for talent; the Dragon Territory truly lacked a seasoned veteran general capable of training troops.
With the annexation of the entire Duchy of Carter, the number of standing troops in the territory will only increase. Although Li Ming's Mediterranean knight did a good job, he was ultimately not good at these things, and it also affected his cultivation. His strength was almost caught up by the other party's disciple.
But if the other party really doesn't know what's good for them, then just kill them.
Su Qing didn't care. At worst, he could train a few talented commanders himself, although it would take a long time.
And after this battle, we can start building the academy, something he's been longing for for a long time.
Moreover, the teaching staff is complete, including two Glory-level knights and two Glory-level mages.
This lineup is considered top-tier and luxurious among the northwestern kingdoms; even those three prestigious universities are no better.
The only thing to worry about is the teaching ability of these guys; we don't want them to mislead students.
As Su Qing pondered these matters, Old Jenny on the other side spoke up loudly: "Fellow comrades, this battle was due to my poor command and underestimation of the enemy's strength. The entire responsibility lies with me."
"I have surrendered. I have no way and no face to go back, but the lord is willing to spare your lives. Go back now and never come here again!"
Old Jenny's voice was filled with weariness and guilt. These people would certainly not be punished after they returned, but they would inevitably bear the stigma of being a defeated army, and he would definitely have to take the majority of the responsibility.
Even his family might be implicated, but fortunately he has no family. His only daughter died of illness years ago, and he is now all alone.
There may have been a few students, but that relationship is not enough to warrant being implicated.
Having no attachments was also the reason he dared to surrender; otherwise, he wouldn't mind being a loyal and virtuous general who would rather die than surrender.
The 50,000-strong army looked at each other in bewilderment. Suddenly, someone made a move, kneeling and bowing to Old Jenny.
After kowtowing and expressing their gratitude, the army departed in a grand procession under the command of several deputy commanders.
Without further hesitation, Su Qing swept up the people in the arena and flew swiftly towards the castle.
The Duchy of Roland has withdrawn its troops; things are going to be very busy from here on out.
Upon returning to the castle, Su Qing, without even settling the men, immediately ordered Alan to gather a number of troops from the two cities and twenty towns, totaling two thousand men, to reclaim the land.
The land that was previously occupied by the Duchy of Roland will be easy to reclaim now.
In addition, Old Sam was tasked with sending a team to explore and mine the limestone mines in Bubble Territory, as the cement needed for the upcoming road construction would require a huge amount of this limestone.
Other mineral veins can be temporarily halted, but this limestone mine must be mined as soon as possible, and on a large scale.
In addition, Old Sam needs to find a group of people to prepare for the construction of the college.
This academy is not the kind of elementary school we had before, but a real academy of martial arts and magic.
Old Sam looked helpless: "My lord, even if we occupy the original territory of the Duchy of Carter, the resources are barely enough to establish an academy, but we don't have teachers with sufficient qualifications, which is a very troublesome thing!"
