Chapter 261: Apologizing
Yasago tacitly accepted Gu Hang's conditions, followed by Janvis.
When Gu Hang heard the news that the two marquises had been stabilized, he couldn't help but smile.
This is good news.
If the troops under the command of the two marquises really come from the south without any regard, it will be a bit troublesome. At that time, the 2nd Division will be under greater pressure.
It's good now.
He passed the relevant information to Perbov, who quickly ordered his troops to launch an attack.
Knowing that the two marquises were secured, Pobov felt relieved.
The reason why the attack order was delayed for a while was not entirely because of waiting for news from the south, but because of waiting for more ammunition to be loaded and unloaded.
The landing ship flights from the starship to the ground never stopped for a moment.
In the pursuit of rapid unloading of troops, the troops' ammunition and supplies were insufficient. Fortunately, they did not encounter a real high-intensity war, otherwise the expeditionary army might not have enough ammunition.
As for the moment, there is no such problem, and Pobov can finally start his attack boldly.
This battle has two main goals.
The first one is naturally the two key figures, Nestor Luhmann and Gu Ming.
The second is the orbital air defense system distributed throughout the city of Pinser.
The attack was relatively smooth.
Almost at the same time, the troops on the east and west sides broke through the first line of defense of Pinser City, entered the city, and engaged in urban street fighting with the enemy.
In theory, urban street fighting is very difficult to fight. Armored units can certainly be effective when they enter the city, but not as much as in field battles.
However, the fact is that the Lumans' first line of defense, relying on the city walls and gates, fought fairly well and held out for a day and a night, but when they entered the street fighting, they collapsed.
The imagined scene of repeated battles for each building at the cost of blood did not appear, and the alliance army made rapid progress.
And at this time, two other things happened.
First of all, what many people could see was several spaceships descending from the sky and heading towards the palace complex in the city of Pinser.
Needless to say, it must have been sent by the fleet controlled by Gu Ming, probably to help Gu Ming escape into the sky.
However, just as Perbov was about to order his troops' anti-aircraft firepower to intercept, the orbital anti-aircraft firepower of the city of Pinser opened fire first.
Those spaceships were actually shot down just like that!
Not long after that, the front-line troops reported that they had detected the sound of gunfire in the palace complex in the center of Pinser City, and the enemy might have been fighting among themselves.
After hearing this news, and thinking about the fact that Gu Ming's spaceship was shot down by anti-aircraft fire, even if Perbov was slow-witted, he roughly understood what was going on.
This war is about to end.
He didn't know what his mood was.
Should I be happy that the troops don’t have to continue fighting and no one will die, or should I be depressed that the military merit that was originally in my hands has to end here?
But no matter how he felt or what to do about this matter, it was not a decision he, as a soldier, should make. He just ordered the troops to act according to the original plan, at most fighting more conservatively to reduce casualties, and at the same time quickly passed the news to the governor.
As expected, he received further instructions from the governor, asking him to keep his troops in place and wait and see how the situation developed.
About half a day later, an unarmed troop came out of the palace complex and surrendered to the alliance.
The leader was a burly middle-aged man with his upper body naked and who had tied himself up.
Perbov had seen his portrait and photo. This was the monarch of the Kingdom of Luman, Nestor Luman.
And there was a person next to him who was not very peaceful and had his mouth blocked.
That's Gu Ming.
…
Just half a day later, Gu Hang met Gu Ming and Ness Luhman in the military camp outside the city.
Not to mention his cousin who was tied up, beaten, and had his mouth sealed, writhing on the ground, Gu Hang's attention was mainly on Nestor Luhman.
Topless, tied up, and carrying a whip...
Oh my goodness, another ancient Terra legend? To ask for forgiveness?
The monarch of the Kingdom of Luman is really flexible.
Things had come to this point, and he finally stopped hesitating and even threw away the last bit of hope and made a decision.
He couldn't let Gu Ming run away by himself.
If Gu Ming ran away, he might still have a chance to survive. He still had four fleets in space, and he still had a lot of connections and channels. Regardless of whether he could turn the tables or not, he could always try again in various ways.
And he, Ness Luman, had nothing left. The power he had painstakingly built up over many years, the power he had gradually gathered, and the royal knights he had built, all collapsed in one day;
His capital was about to be conquered by the raging fury of another branch of the Gu clan;
If Gu Ming runs away, he will lose everything, and his family will be destroyed.
At the critical moment, he ordered the anti-aircraft firepower that was still under his control to shoot down the spaceship that was carrying Gu Ming for evacuation, and urged his troops to kill the few security guards who were protecting Gu Ming and captured them alive.
This is his sincerity in surrendering.
He knew that by coming out, he would be handing over the fate of himself and his country to other people to manipulate.
But what else can we do?
It's a losing situation.
He could only grab the last weight and give himself the last chance before he was completely defeated.
This is humiliating, but a real man needs to be able to bend and stretch.
As soon as they met, he knelt in front of Gu Hang.
"As the king of the Luman Kingdom, I apologize to the head of the Gu family!"
"Half a year ago, Gu Ming came to visit me secretly and discussed a conspiracy with me..."
Without Gu Hang asking, Nestor Luhman confessed the whole story in great sincerity.
Of course, Gu Hang already knew the whole thing without him saying anything.
It was simply that in the normal family council process, it was impossible for Gu Ming to win, so he took this opportunity to cause trouble and overturn the table.
The address chosen by the Family Council has always been Black Arrow Star, because no matter which country is in power on this planet and holds the power of the Governor, its most important foreign trade depends on the Gu family's caravans. The two sides have a good relationship during their long cooperation.
They do not belong to the Gu family's power, but they can be regarded as an important market for the Gu family and one of the foundations of the Gu family's success.
Wang Qi was on guard against Gu Ming, but she was not prepared for Ness Luman's betrayal. In fact, in Wang Qi's opinion, the many kingdoms on Black Arrow Star should have a better relationship with her.
It was good enough that she didn't use Nest Luhman to deal with Gu Ming. How could the other party use the local forces of Black Arrow Star to deal with her?
She even sent people to monitor the movements.
But he was just one step behind and was tricked by Nestor Luhmann.
He was persuaded by Gu Ming's words of "holding the Black Arrow Star forever".
