As the army led by Lu Yun continued to advance, unlike the first group, the lord of a city-state chose to surrender directly. After all, the people of the Knight Legion were defeated.
In addition, they were just pretending to surrender because they wanted to be responsible for the people in the city. They had no other thoughts.
What's more, he is the messenger of God, leading the army in person. The news has spread throughout the century. Naturally, no one here dares to disobey, and no one dares to stand up and oppose.
In this way, their army soon arrived thirty miles away from Deke City.
Indeed, Lu Yun originally thought that this time it wouldn't take long and could be resolved quickly, but who could have imagined that it would be so quick!
The outcome of a battle has been decided after it was fought, and the outcome of the war has been finalized. There is no challenge at all.
Even if they were forced to fight a few more battles, it would be completely possible, but now their army is like a tour. With so many people, they only need to come to the bottom of the city-state, and the city lord will directly open the city gate...
"I feel so unfulfilled." Zhao Yueyao looked very angry. She had thought that this time she would be able to have a great time, at least she would be able to fight with all her heart and soul, but she didn't expect it to be a completely different situation.
Who can bear this...
Lu Yun sighed softly, "Yeah, there really isn't any sense of accomplishment. I underestimated the position of a divine messenger like me in their hearts. As soon as I bring up this identity, they just give up."
"If we had known this would happen, we wouldn't have done so much. We might as well just call in the troops from the Malaysian Empire and fight them. Wouldn't that be better?"
"It's good, but it's time-consuming and laborious. Isn't it good now? Without using a single soldier, they can control their entire Holy Empire with just my identity."
"Now, as the messenger of God, I have such great power that no one can do anything to me. I only need one word to depose the Queen, and another to depose the Pope."
"The Holy Empire is completely under my control. Now their military power is in my hands. Sending troops back will be much easier."
Hearing this, Zhao Yueyao sighed, "There is no sense of challenge at all. It's worse than our Eastern Continent. If we can return to the Han Empire."
"That's what a real fight is like. That's what a real fight is like. After all, the difference in strength is not that big."
"No rush... I think we'll be able to go back soon."
…
Although both of them felt very unfulfilled, the guards under their command were very successful. They followed the messenger of the gods and fought a battle without moving a muscle, and captured so many cities.
When I go back this time, I'll have something to brag about.
When the time comes, they will say that they are following the envoy and will be invincible.
Soon they arrived in Deke City!
One has to admit that this course is indeed the largest city-state on the eastern border of their Holy Empire, and can even be ranked among the top three!
As an important town, the city of Deke holds a relatively important position in the Holy Empire, otherwise a prince would not be allowed to stay here.
But Queen Juliana never expected that her brother, a prince, would choose to betray her!
Although this matter is hard to accept, what can we do now that things have come to this?
"Dek City is a barrier to the Eastern Continent of the Holy Empire. It should be extremely important."
"And I think there will be a tough battle next. Maybe their knight corps and the prince's men will choose to fight us to the death!"
Zhao Yueyao looked very excited, feeling that she could finally go on a killing spree and finally have a proper battle. When the time comes, she must fight them to the death under this Deke City.
But they never expected that just as their army was approaching the city, the gate of Deke City was opened directly.
A middle-aged man walked out from inside, followed by a lot of people. After they walked out of the city gate, they knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Then, he crawled on his knees to Lu Yun and the others.
"Greetings, Your Excellency the Envoy!"
"The messenger of the gods has personally led the army to Deke City. This is our disaster, and this is also the fate of our Deke City!"
"Your Excellency the Envoy, the Prince and Knight Commander Marcoa have already left Deke City. They left the Holy Empire and chose to go to the small countries to the east of the Holy Empire!"
"Deke City is now a deserted city. It's a relief that he didn't burn the entire city down. When he left, he took away most of the treasures and food belonging to the common people and nobles."
"So right now, our Deke City is full of starving civilians. They also want to eat. We ask the Lord Messenger of the Gods to save the people..."
Lu Yun's face turned green at this moment. Of course, the most angry person was Zhao Yueyao. He had thought that the next battle would be a tough one and he could finally release his nature, but he didn't expect that it would be so easy to take over the city-state.
What's worse is that he didn't even have the slightest chance to show his abilities. This abominable prince chose to flee. What a coward he was. Not only did he choose to flee, he also attacked these civilians.
Although they didn't kill them, they stole their food, which seemed to be no different from killing them. I have to say that it was still cruel to steal all the food.
"I see."
Lu Yun sighed, "Didn't they leave already? Don't you have legs? Don't you know how to borrow food from somewhere else?"
"Reporting to the envoy, we have sent people to borrow food, but they have not returned yet."
"Plus, the prince and the Knight Commander haven't been away for long, so we don't have a chance at all. It's too late."
Lu Yun suddenly understood after hearing this and nodded gently, "Okay, now that things have come to this, there's nothing more to say about this matter."
"Fortunately, we brought a lot of food with us during the march. It should be enough to feed the people in the city for a while."
"Thank you, Messenger!"
Lu Yun then led a huge army into the city-state. It must be said that he has now become a big star and celebrity in their Holy Empire.
All the people knew his name, so when he appeared in the city, many commoners and nobles took to the streets and knelt on the ground to pray for the gods' blessing.
"Greetings to the Messenger of the Gods..."
"It is a blessing for our people that the envoy has come to our city of Deke. Thank you, envoy, for rescuing us."
