"That's it?"
Zhang Feng thought these musketeers would be strong, but he didn't expect them to be so strong! Facing the 500,000 elite troops of the Luoyan Kingdom, they were all wiped out overnight!
Of course, this is not just the credit of the musketeers. In addition to the musketeers responsible for the mid-range, there are also archers responsible for long-range combat, wolf cavalry and orcs responsible for close combat, and airships responsible for air strikes.
But you have to know that these musketeers had only been trained for about a week, and they were as new as could be.
The so-called 500,000 elite troops of the Luoyan Kingdom were still badly beaten even with the advantage of terrain. Last time, they lost 500,000 elite troops in the Gama Kingdom, but at least a very small part of them escaped. This time, they didn't even have a chance to escape and were directly wiped out.
The annihilation of these 500,000 elite troops meant that the Luoyan Kingdom was basically defenseless against the attack from the Buck Kingdom.
Zhang Feng did not hesitate and led the army deep into the enemy's territory.
Finally, the king could not bear the persuasion of the crowd, and he went into the secret passage with his family, looking back every few steps.

After he finished speaking, he continued without waiting for anyone to respond.
He had just finished writing the letter of surrender and had not yet ejaculated when the gate of the royal capital suddenly opened.
After hearing this weathered but powerful voice, the middle-aged man rubbed his eyes in confusion.
Then he thought about it. According to the current situation, all the prominent ministers and nobles in Luoyan Capital had surrendered. Apart from the royal family, the only ones left were some small fish and shrimps.
"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for a long time."
king:"……"
Take a closer look.
"I……"
Marlowe finally spoke up.
An old man who was older than the king spoke.
However, Zhang Feng still likes the title of "God of War", which sounds mighty and domineering.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man felt somewhat disheartened.
If you want to be rich, build roads first.
"Me too, let's go together!"
Another month has passed.
Another old minister cried.
The ministers of Luoyan Kingdom were a little puzzled and didn't know what Malo was doing here.
A slight sound came from the house. No one else heard it, but Marlowe heard it clearly.
He raised both hands and handed them to Marlowe respectfully.
After all, he was once the great knight of the Kingdom of Gey. He was fully capable of commanding this million-strong army and easily captured the capital of the Kingdom of Luoyan.
Facing the siege of a million-strong army, they had no chance of winning.
When the ministers saw these people, their faces changed, as if they had seen a ghost. They immediately closed their mouths for fear of shouting out subconsciously.
After all, after these wars, it is not an exaggeration to say that the economy of other places, except the Far North, has regressed a hundred years.
A group of people dressed in rustic clothes but with noble temperament came out.
It turns out that true friendship is revealed in times of adversity!
“…”
The king asked in some surprise.
"Ahem, I have something to do at home, I'll leave first..."
Everyone: “…”
He didn't pay much attention to it before, thinking that this was the knight of some minister, but when the other party came closer, he saw that the armor worn by this knight was so exquisite, so shiny, and so strong, which was simply incomparable to the armor of their Luoyan Kingdom!
"My Lords, what a coincidence, why are you all here——"
Time flies.
…
Marlowe said to the surrendered Luoyan people.
"The worst that can happen is death. Our lives are worthless, but your life is precious!"
Isabel is known as the most capable queen, while Zhang Feng has many nicknames, such as "the strongest man in the Stardust Continent", "the mysterious man behind the queen", "the highest-ranking grand duke in history", etc.
This made the middle-aged man feel cold.
The old minister said in a low voice.
At the very least, the GDP of the Buck Kingdom must be raised by several levels.
“You, you guys…”
…
At this time, the importance of sophisticated information and communication means comes into play.
"I...what will you do if I leave?"
Marlowe performed a standard knight's salute on his warhorse, and then continued:
It can be said that the Luoyan Kingdom lost due to information asymmetry.
The road has not been repaired yet, as it is a long-term project after all, but basic communications have been established.
The middle-aged man responded quickly, then walked towards the group of people with some excitement.
"Master Marlowe, the reconnaissance airship sent a message that there is an abnormal situation ten miles away from us. It is suspected to be the exit of the secret passage. Master Zhang Feng asked you to go and take a look."
As he was speaking, the king couldn't breathe, his eyes went dark, and then he lost consciousness.
king:"……"
Marlowe nodded.
After hearing the middle-aged man's subconscious question, the fat man was stunned and his tone instantly weakened.
so……
"Your Majesty!"
It was a terrible loss, but not unfair.
Among these, in addition to the expeditionary force's strong hard power, there is another very important point, that is, the dimensionality reduction attack of communication technology.
The first plan Zhang Feng set was to build roads.
Looking at these old ministers who have followed him for so many years, His Majesty the King was somewhat moved.
"The Supreme Commander of the Buck Kingdom Expeditionary Force, Marlowe."
The ministers scattered like frightened birds and beasts. In the blink of an eye, the conference hall, which had been bustling just a moment ago, was empty.
Creak~ The wooden door opened.
The bull orc breathed in the air which was noticeably sweeter and shouted excitedly:
After seeing the army outside that was eyeing him covetously, he was a little timid, but he still forced himself to calm down and came to Marlowe under the guidance of the soldiers.
Some coughed twice, and some looked up at the sky.
The one who escaped from this secret passage was none other than the King of Luoyan Kingdom! "What's wrong? Why are you all silent? Did someone die? Let me see... it seems like not one person is missing!"
They had just managed to ease off the awkward atmosphere, but this happened again!
Everyone felt a little embarrassed.
As the sound of horse hooves grew louder, the king realized that there was a stranger in the distance.
"Come on!"
This secret passage was built when the royal palace was established. It leads directly to the outside of the royal capital. It now has a history of several hundred years. However, there are death squads who clean it up regularly, so there are no technical problems.
The group of people came in a mighty procession ten miles away. Even the older people gritted their teeth and dared not say that they were tired.
The king with a few strands of white hair sat on the simple throne in a daze. He had not expected that after saving money, recruiting soldiers, and planning for so many years, he would not even leave the house and his plan would die in the womb.
However, for the sake of his own life, he could not care too much and could only swear in his heart that there was still a long way to go, and he would remember this grudge! When the ministers saw that His Majesty the King had finally left, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Although for civilian use it is not yet possible to use modern instant communication, it can still be used to achieve the level of telegraph communication in the 20th century.
"Haha! I finally made it! I almost died in there!"
"Sir, several people came out!"
The bear beastman said in a muffled voice:
Suddenly, the branches moved, and the snow fell instantly, landing on several tall figures who had just emerged from the woods.
Is this the unification of the continent?
…
…
After a long while, the king came back to his senses. He was not stupid. He looked at Marlowe, then at the ministers who were covering their faces, and suddenly he felt a surge of blood rushing to his head.
No matter where you are, finding an organization always makes you feel at ease, even if it is an enemy camp.
Not far from him, there was a gray-haired, fat man. If I was not mistaken, he was one of the most trusted ministers of His Majesty the King!
Suddenly, the king was furious.
"Your Majesty, you are the pillar of our Luoyan Kingdom. As long as you are here, our Luoyan Kingdom will exist. If you are gone, our Luoyan Kingdom will be destroyed!"
It's too dreamy! To put it bluntly, they wouldn't even dare to think about it in their dreams! But no matter how others look at it, this has become a fact. In fact, the most sad people are the ordinary people of Luoyan Kingdom.
"There's no need to send a letter of persuasion. All the ministers have surrendered, and some even surrendered with their soldiers. The king has already opened up his defenses against us. Now the only one left is their king..."
Since Zhang Feng promised Isabel that he would help her take care of the family for a year, he would definitely not do it perfunctorily.
Marlowe picked up the map and handed it to his subordinate without even looking at it.
“Ahem!”
"What do you mean by 'you'? You just told the location of His Majesty's treasure room!"
"You, you want me to escape? As the emperor of Luoyan Kingdom, how can I abandon my people!"
He also knew this man, who was also one of His Majesty's most trusted ministers, and had even more seniority! In addition to the old man, there were more than a dozen people around him, all wearing the clothes of the Luoyan Kingdom.
“…”
Because the other party received the news too slowly, there were not too many soldiers stationed in the royal capital now, with only less than 300,000 permanent soldiers.
"Your Majesty, they didn't harm any civilians..."
A month later, all matters were dealt with, and the Buck Kingdom finally unified the Stardust Continent.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and everything in front of their eyes seemed to go dark.
There was a hint of hesitation in the king's eyes.
No one dared to disobey. It seemed that the knight leader had a good character and did not make things difficult for them. They thought there was a good chance that they could survive with their families. Therefore, as long as Marlowe's orders did not cost their lives, they were naturally happy to obey them.
Paved roads need to be built, and so do railways.
"Have you escaped? It's good that you have escaped! It's just right for us to escape together. With loyal subjects like you, our Luoyan Kingdom will have hope of rebuilding!"
Naturally, that group of people also saw these ministers.
Queen Isabelle's reputation reached its peak, including, of course, Zhang Feng's.
But would a small fish or shrimp build such a long secret passage? Impossible!
Wow, they are all acquaintances!
There are old people, women and children.
Soon, Marlowe found the secret passage that the reconnaissance airship mentioned.
“Click~”
They all looked different. Some had horns, some had bear ears, some had long tails, and some had fangs. They were orcs! They all wore ragged animal skin clothes, with large areas of rough skin exposed, just to cover their shame, as if they were not afraid of the cold at all.
Seeing the king's furious look, someone whispered, "You also ran away..."
This was the most valuable thing he thought. If the other party didn't like it, he could only take out all his treasures. However, in their eyes, his little wealth was probably no different from nothing.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Marlowe's expression looked a little strange, but it was blocked by the mask and the other party couldn't see it.
Just when the middle-aged man thought he was dead, an unexpected voice made him look up.
"How could it be so fast!"
Sure enough, there were footsteps coming from inside, and judging from the sound, there were quite a few people.
Originally, if the middle-aged man didn't ask, everyone could still pretend, even though they all knew the truth.
"That's right, even if we die, we won't leave anything for the Buck Kingdom!"
The orcs shook off casually as they let the snow fall on their bodies.
But so many years have passed, and successive kings have never used this secret passage. He is the first one, which makes the current king feel uncomfortable.
Where is this? This is the enemy camp!
The gate of Luoyan Kingdom's capital was opened from the inside, and a furtive figure walked out.
Everyone is safe, shouldn't we be happy? Why are they all so unhappy? As soon as the king said this, everyone was so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Could it be that... everyone thought of the same thing?
The gray-haired minister glared at the middle-aged man fiercely.
One of the old men was a little surprised and asked, "Huh? Why are you here? Didn't you go to stop the Buck Kingdom army?"
But after the middle-aged man asked the question, everything became clear.
"good."
Normally I thought they were all very shrewd, but I didn't expect that in this critical moment, they were the ones protecting themselves!
At the beginning, they knew nothing. By the time they found out, the country was gone...
Although he was confident of victory in a fight, it would definitely be best if he could defeat the enemy without fighting.
"I hope that you will spare my family because of the map I gave you..."
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sunset mountains, and the snow on the branches sparkles.
"You, you actually took out the city defense map! His Majesty the King has been supporting you for nothing!"
However, after Marlowe had his men surround the house, he stood in the distance without saying a word. The ministers did not dare to speak either, and could only stand quietly at the door and wait.
"OK!"
He is the commander-in-chief of this operation.
Is it still inevitable to die?...
"I heard from that woman that there is plenty of food, beautiful clothes, and endless wine here... Oh, and this is also human territory, I don't know if it's true!"
The king's beard stood up in anger.
"How can this be true? It is said that this place is even poorer than our village!"
Marlowe ignored the embarrassed crowd and said thoughtfully:
The middle-aged man greeted respectfully, but as soon as he said that, he realized belatedly that something was wrong.
Therefore, Marlowe prepared to use persuasion.
When their king received the news of the expeditionary force's attack, the enemy had already destroyed countless cities. By the time he decided to mobilize troops, the enemy had already reached his doorstep.
The plan to destroy the Buck Kingdom happened faster than Zhang Feng expected.
When Zhang Feng attacked the capital of King Luoyan, the king was still mobilizing troops to reinforce the front line.
But before he could finish his words, another old voice was heard.
The news that the capital has received is that 500,000 elite troops have been annihilated. The king is contacting the dukes in the country to prepare for the troops, but suddenly finds that his messenger can't get out! Because the capital is surrounded by water! The army of the Buck Kingdom is besieging the capital!
"You can leave without any worries!"
Everyone spoke at once, their eyes bright and their words loyal, as if they couldn't wait to die for the king.
In just half a month, the entire Luoyan Kingdom was captured by the expeditionary force.
"Who are you!"
Fortunately, the army of Buck is still well disciplined. At most, they will attack the wealthy and unkind landlords, but will not attack ordinary people.
From then on, three of the four kingdoms of Stardust Continent have become history.
Outside the royal capital.
Then there is the issue of communications. Now that there are no enemies, communications across the entire continent must naturally be developed. Making things convenient for others is making things convenient for oneself. Of course, it is impossible to do it for free, so Zhang Feng will charge a symbolic fee.
"You, you actually surrendered! Cowards, you cowards!"
"Since you all know each other, then go ahead."
…
The Kingdom of Buck finally began to look like a country.
"Why!"
The ministers below didn't dare to say a word. They were already thinking about how to escape later. If they surrendered voluntarily, would the other side kill them?
"Your Majesty, don't worry about us. We will stop the enemy even if it costs us our lives!"
Suddenly, a soldier brought news.
Seeing that Marlowe didn't say anything, the middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something and took out a map from his arms.
The middle-aged man spoke nervously.
This is the enemy's camp! Why are the ministers of our Luoyan Kingdom gathering in the enemy's camp?
This turmoil lasted for a month.
Finished!
The Buck Kingdom unified the continent! Not only Isabel, but even the citizens of the Buck Kingdom could not believe it.
Once the mainland stabilizes, economic recovery will begin.
The middle-aged man looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man with completely white hair and a straight body.
"My wife is sick today..."
"By the way, sir, I am the city defense officer here, and this is the city defense map!"
"Hello, I'm here to surrender..."
Da da da.
Along the way, the musketeers, who were the main force of the attack, were invincible. In just three days, they reached the capital of the Luoyan Kingdom.
the king asked cautiously.
Knight Marlowe was dressed in a set of shiny armor and riding on a tall horse that was also covered with armor.
…
"Your Majesty, the secret passage is ready, please see..."
It can be said that among all the kingdoms in the Star Continent, he was the one who died the most shamelessly...
These are a few thatched huts. No one lives in them, but they look like they are cleaned every day.
"Sir? Why are you here?"
In the distance, Marlowe smiled, just as he had guessed.
Oh, by the way, there was another person who was the most unlucky, and that was His Majesty the King of Luoyan Kingdom. When he saw that all his most trusted ministers had surrendered, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died of anger on the spot.
Although the voice was low, everyone present could hear it clearly, including the king.
He wants to connect the entire star continent into a real whole.
Someone immediately refuted it.
"That woman warned us that we must keep a low profile when we come here, and that the humans here are scary!"
An orc reminded.
But more orcs were disdainful.
"Tsk, humans are scary? I don't believe it! How powerful can those weak humans be? Tickle me? Haha!"
