Luo Tian used the communicator to communicate with the rebels in Aieri Town. He hoped to resolve the rebellion in Aieri Town without bloodshed.
"Your Majesty, I am Patton, the temporary commander of Eri Town. Lord Mig has entrusted the defense of Eri Town to me."
"Hello, Patton, did you hear what I just broadcast?" Luo Tian asked.
"I heard you, Your Majesty. I want to confirm something with you. You mentioned in the radio just now that Lord MiG has escaped. Is this true?" Patton asked the question straight to the point.
"Yes, this is the latest information I just got." Luo Tian said.
"But before Lord Mig left, he told me that he was going to other star cities to borrow more warships. Why do you say he ran away?" Patton asked doubtfully.
"You've been deceived. I have sent Lorraine to actively communicate with the envoys from various star cities. The envoys have already agreed with me that they will not send any more warships. MiG's talk of borrowing troops is just an excuse to cover up his escape. Asking you to fight against my warships is tantamount to sending you to death to avenge his own personal grudge." Luo Tian persuaded, "If you still have some conscience and care about the lives of your comrades and family members, then surrender obediently. I promise to pardon you. If you continue to resist, you will be dealt with for rebellion. The lightest punishment is to be sent to make human batteries. Commanders like you will be punished along with your family." Luo Tian said.
"Does Your Majesty have any evidence?" Patton asked.
"Of course there is, look here!" Luo Tian retrieved MiG's whereabouts from the system, "Look, this is the time when MiG withdrew from Kaiyuan. He ran away twenty minutes ago. According to what you said just now, if MiG wanted to meet the warships from other star cities, he must have stayed in Kaiyuan. How could he withdraw from Kaiyuan?" Luo Tian analyzed it for Patton.
Barton nodded subconsciously and began to agree with Luo Tian's statement.
"Look at this document again. This is a photo just taken by the army I stationed in Beizhen. You can see MiG standing next to the car. It is obvious that he is in Beizhen now, getting in the car and preparing to defect." Luo Tian opened another photo of MiG and showed it to Patton.
Patton carefully checked the photo and the time it was taken showed that it was indeed ten minutes ago. Although MiG's face was not captured, only his back, anyone who was familiar with him could tell that the back was MiG.
After looking at these two photos, Barton's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and he felt very cold. He begged, "Let me discuss this with my subordinates."
"I would like to give you another piece of advice. You have no air superiority at all. My warships can blow up all your command post, operations room, ammunition depot and other facilities in minutes. Moreover, I have sent troops to besiege Beizhen. The MiGs will be caught by us soon. You have no way out now except to surrender." Luo Tian persuaded them to surrender.
"Your Majesty, please give me some more time so that I can talk to my subordinates. Even if I am willing to surrender, if the soldiers insist on continuing to fight, I will definitely be the one to die!" Patton said.
"Then you should persuade your brothers. We are all residents of Uranus City and we are of the same race and roots. There is no need to fight each other." Luo Tian felt that Patton was thinking about surrendering.
After Patton interrupted the conversation with Luo Tian, he immediately summoned all the generals of Aier Town to a meeting in the operations room.
"I just talked to Luo Tian. He hopes that we will surrender and has set conditions. As long as we surrender, we can be exempted from the crime of rebellion and restore our status as residents. What do you think?"
"Patton, tell us first, is Lord Mig in Erie Town now?" asked a general.
"Yes, the emperor said that Lord Mig has fled. Is it true?" another general asked.
Patton also understood that the issue that everyone was most concerned about was whether MiG was in Eri Town. This was the only reason to determine whether they should continue fighting.
"The emperor showed me two photos. One was a record of Lord Mig's withdrawal from Kaiyuan twenty minutes ago, and the other was a photo taken at Lord Mig's home in Beizhen ten minutes ago. The Lord was standing next to a car with only his back shown." Patton truthfully relayed the information he received to the generals present. He did not want to conceal any information.
After Patton finished speaking, everyone present suddenly fell silent.
"Master Miguel...really abandoned us..."
"Do we still have to keep fighting? Liar!"
"I don't want to be cannon fodder, Patton, let's surrender!"
The feeling of disappointment quickly spread among the crowd, and soon people reached a consensus.
"Surrender... Surrender... Surrender" Everyone present shouted these two words loudly.
"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!" Patton signaled everyone to be quiet. The generals stopped shouting and looked at Patton in unison.
"Now I ask everyone, raise your hands if you want to continue fighting!" Patton looked at the crowd, no one raised their hands, he continued to ask: "Raise your hands if you agree to surrender!"
Everyone present raised their hands and looked at Patton with eager eyes.
"I understand. Surrender is everyone's common choice. Now I will convey your opinions to the emperor," Patton said.
Patton immediately turned on the communicator and contacted Luo Tian.
"Brothers, have you made a decision?" Luo Tian asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, after discussion and voting with the generals, we unanimously agree to surrender to you! Now we will lay down our weapons and wait for you to accept your surrender! The brothers are all here, do you have anything to say to them?" Patton said.
"I want to say thank you for putting the overall situation first. The moment you lay down your weapons, we are a family again. I believe that you all love Uranus City, but you were deceived by the old thief Miguel and embarked on the road of rebellion. I have always adhered to this saying: A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. Since you have surrendered, I will keep my promise and exempt you from the crime of treason. Not only that, if you capture any member of the Miguel family and hand them over to me, you will be rewarded according to your merits." Luo Tian once again declared the policy to the rebels, hoping to mobilize the power of the masses and capture Miguel as soon as possible.
