Anno rode a griffin with Gavin's body hanging under the griffin. He flew across the chaotic battlefield and loudly announced that Gavin had died in battle.
"Gavin Dick has died in battle. He will not be killed if he surrenders!"
When the smoke and dust cleared, the soldiers of Grae City near the explosion saw the broken bodies of knights and horses, and they all gave up resistance.
On the battlefield a little further away, the soldiers who were fighting were startled when they heard Annuo's announcement and the corpse hanging under the claws of the griffin.
If Annuo was telling a lie, a messenger would definitely come out with Gavin's order to disprove it.
But the soldiers of Grae City did not wait for the messenger to confirm the falsehood.
Instead, the soldiers, concerned about Gavin's death, immediately laid down their weapons and surrendered.
This action quickly spread around, further confirming the news of Gavin's death.
More and more soldiers dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground in surrender.
In other areas of the battlefield, the adventurers were completely overwhelmed by the soldiers of Gray City due to their levels.
But after hearing the news from Anno who flew over, all the adventurers were like chickens with their blood pumped up, and they rushed towards the enemy with roars.
Seeing adventurers who were obviously lower in level than him but were surrounding him with fierce looks on their faces.
The soldiers of Grae City finally surrendered their weapons and put their heads in their hands.
There is still a chance of survival if you surrender and become a prisoner.
If we continue to fight, we will die.
They would definitely not be a match for the person who could kill Gavin.
As for those mercenaries who were already afraid of being beaten.
After hearing that Gavin was dead, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the bald man who was chasing him and begged for mercy.
"Sir, we surrender! We surrender! Stop killing us!"
"Surrender! Surrender!"
"Please spare my life, sir!"
Seeing this, Lu Zhishang naturally stopped.
After all, he is not a bloodthirsty person.
Ask the adventurers around you to gather the surrendered mercenaries together.
He sat on the ground and chanted scriptures, collectively praying for the salvation of the human souls around him.
As more and more soldiers heard the news of Gavin's death and surrendered, the battlefield gradually returned to calm.
There were three thousand soldiers from Grae City and one thousand mercenaries, and a total of two thousand five hundred were captured!
The entire battle took no more than half an hour.
This is what Annuo said: to fight quickly and decisively with absolute strength on the front battlefield.
In fact, if the soldiers of Gray City did not surrender after learning of Gavin's death.
Annuo was about to throw the body of the third-level soldier that he had killed with [Toxic Fungus] into the soldiers.
Use [Disaster] directly on the battlefield!
As long as you let your own people avoid it in advance, the speed of [Disaster] clearing the soldiers will definitely increase exponentially.
Victory ultimately belongs to Valkham.
However, killing so many soldiers does not bring much benefit, but rather a lot of disadvantages.
So An Nuo was very satisfied with the other party's decisive surrender.
When Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen led a team of priests to rush directly to the battlefield from the rear to treat the wounded, An Nuo came to Viscount Renault.
"My Lord Viscount, mission accomplished!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Viscount Renault was riding on his horse, looking excitedly at the large group of prisoners squatting on the ground in front of him.
In this war, Valkham's soldiers and adventurers also suffered casualties.
But it is only one-third of the size of Graeme.
This is because the level of Valkham's professionals is slightly lower.
Otherwise, the casualties could be reduced further!
After all, the soldiers of Gray City were already exhausted when the battle began.
Valkham's professionals are not only full of energy, but also have the bonus of Liz's [Commander].
In addition, An Nuo, Xue Feibai and others attracted all the third-level enemies and killed them at the beginning of the battle.
Meng Xin, a thief, also led the thief team to assassinate many enemy mages with the cooperation of the harpy, effectively reducing their own casualties.
Gavin's quick death resulted in the normal war ending quickly.
Therefore, Valkham's casualties were only about 500.
"We defeated the three thousand soldiers and so many mercenaries from Gray City in a direct battle. Everyone in the Adventurer's Guild deserves credit!"
Viscount Renault had been watching the battle, so he naturally knew that it was Annuo and others who were leading the direction of the war.
These thousand gold coins are really worth it!
"With this victory, those nobles who have ideas about Valkham should weigh their own weight in their hearts."
Viscount Renault snorted.
In the competition with Gray City, Valkham was not favored at the beginning.
If the battle situation here were to spread, it would probably shock all the nobles!
No one will ever think that Valkham is a place where people can bully others.
"What will you do next, Lord Viscount?"
An Nuo asked at the right time.
Viscount Renault looked at the thousands of prisoners and the smile on his face gradually faded.
Although we won the war, if the situation is not handled properly afterwards, things could easily go wrong.
If these prisoners were locked up, given their strength, if a riot broke out, the guards would not be able to hold out.
We can't let Annuo and his men guard it all the time.
Put them back?
That's even more impossible!
Viscount Renault felt that even if these soldiers would thank him in their hearts, they would not dare to disobey the orders of an earl the next time Earl Wei ordered an attack.
At that time, these soldiers will become enemies again.
After thinking about it, there is another way.
That is to kill all these prisoners!
But the consequence of doing so is that the captives will fight to the death.
Even if they are all killed in the end, Viscount Renault and the Adventurer's Guild will become infamous in the Kingdom of Nergal.
"Anno, do you have any suggestions?"
Viscount Renault's joy of victory had dissipated by this time, and he asked Anno for advice.
An Nuo turned and looked towards the east, and asked, "My Lord Viscount, do you know how many soldiers there are in Gray City?"
"Number of soldiers?"
Renault frowned and replied, "According to the information sent back by the spies, the soldiers in Gray City usually number 1,500. This time, in order to attack Valkham, Earl Wei expanded the number to 3,000, but in fact there are 3,500. In addition to the 3,000 soldiers who went to the battle, there are still 500 soldiers left in Gray City!"
"Yes, there are only 500 people in Gray City now!"
An Nuo's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he continued, "You have been communicating with the Third Prince in letters recently, and asked him if there are any fourth-level strongmen in Gray City.
When the Third Prince left Valkham, he went to Gray City to question Earl Wei and saw the guards around Earl Wei.
So we got the information that there are no fourth-level professionals in Gray City!
A city called Grai with no Tier 4 professionals and only 500 soldiers guarding it. I think it has a lot of potential!"
Viscount Renault raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes and asked: "What do you mean...?"
"Given Earl Wei's identity, I think you can issue a gold-level mission [Capture Earl of Gray City - Wei Dick]."
After all, the other party is a count, and assassinating the count will not be conducive to the future development of the Adventurer's Guild in the royal capital.
But capture him first, and then let Viscount Renault kill him.
The meaning is different.
