"Of course, Duke Piccolo, I'm not begging you to surrender now!"
"Actually, I quite admire Duke Piccolo's reputation, so if you want to have a fight, I don't mind!"
"It's just that I need to reaccount all the magic energy crystals consumed during the period to the Bach Empire and the principalities!"
Seeing that Duke Piccolo was still hesitating, Nalant smiled slightly, but took the initiative to give up trying to persuade him to surrender.
Nalant's behavior immediately made all the principality commanders dumbfounded and became nervous.
They definitely don't want to die, and they can't be beaten.
Therefore, surrender will definitely become a foregone conclusion later.
But if they surrender later, they will have to pay more ransom later, which they really don't want to see.
You must know that a mana crystal costs three thousand gold coins.
With the way Nalant used the magic crystals, he would have to use forty or fifty of them in a battle.
At that time, there would be more than 100,000 gold coins. If everyone hesitated for more than ten minutes, it would be necessary to add 10,000 gold coins.
Gold mining is not that profitable.
"Duke Piccolo!"
At that moment, several leaders of the small principalities couldn't help but speak to Duke Piccolo.
They are no match for the Bach Empire.
The Bach Empire has a great cause, and Duke Bik alone is as big as their own principality.
Therefore, these nobles are really poor.
"Alas!" Duke Bick sighed after hearing this, and understood that today's Bach coalition had no chance of turning a corner.
In fact, the 100,000-strong army was beaten to pieces, and the situation could not be worse than this.
"Narant, I hope you can give us nobles the dignity they deserve!"
Duke Bick finally made a decision.
"Haha, Duke Piccolo, although I, Narant, am only a baron, integrity is my motto and etiquette is my code of life. Therefore, I will give you enough dignity according to the conventions of the nobility!"
"Of course, the premise is that you don't cause any trouble to me in the next period of time!"
Nalant immediately patted his chest and spoke.
Duke Piccolo nodded silently upon hearing this, then turned around and shouted an order to the cavalry in the rear: "Everyone, put down your weapons and dismount!"
As Duke Piccolo's order was issued, all the knights in the rear stood up and dismounted, and then all dropped their swords on the ground.
"Very well, Duke Piccolo, and everyone, I will keep my promise!"
"However, now I still need to aggrieve you all!"
Immediately, Nalant dismounted himself and took out several mithril shackles from the storage space.
This thing was specially forged by Nalant by the dwarf Black Tower.
For powerful men like the Earth Knight and Sky Knight, if they do not use reliable mithril chains, it may not be possible to restrain them.
Therefore, in order to prepare for emergencies, Nalant asked the black tower to be forged and kept in the storage space.
Immediately, Nalant came to Duke Bic with the mithril shackles and put the shackles on his hands.
Duke Piccolo was straightforward and did not resist at all.
In this way, Nalant's surrender ceremony was very smooth and there were no changes.
Once all the commanders were shackled, the remaining cavalrymen naturally had no chance of resisting.
Let Queclemon and others collect all the weapons and horses with their subordinates. There is no need to lock up the extraordinary knights. Nalant directly gathered them together, and then asked them to line up in a long line towards the Storm Territory. direction return.
…
"Everyone, you must have had a hard time along the way. Come on, let's have a glass of wine!"
On the magic carriage, Duke Piccolo and all the principal principalities sat dejectedly.
Of course, Nalant kept his word and gave these commanders enough dignity to let them ride with him.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be in a low mood, Nalant was very considerate and took out the wine.
However, everyone obviously has no appetite now, so Nalant simply said: "You are welcome, this is magic wine. Even if the supply provided by our Storm Territory is sufficient now, every bottle in the alliance should have it." A hundred gold coins, right?”
Finally, after Nalant said these words, Duke Bic actually reached out and took it.
"Haha, Duke Piccolo is indeed very generous. Come on, there is barbecue here. You're welcome, Duke Piccolo!"
Seeing this, Nalant took out the fragrant barbecue from the storage space.
When the other commanders saw that Duke Bic was the first to eat the wine and barbecue provided by Nalant, they all looked at each other and started to react.
After all, they had not only traveled long distances these days, but they had also failed to make any progress in today's fierce battle.
Smelling the aroma of barbecue, it would be a lie to say that you are not hungry or thirsty.
"Come on, there are still things here. Everyone must eat and drink well and take care of themselves!"
Seeing everyone's appearance, Nalant went out a lot from the storage space, giving enough portions to each commander.
At this moment, the commanders' senses about the country boy improved.
Although he comes from the countryside, his aristocratic qualities are indeed in place.
"Eat more! Eat happily, so that when the time comes I will be able to ask for compensation from the Bach Empire!"
However, when all the commanders were feasting, they didn't know what Nalant was thinking.
Otherwise, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood.
Because Narant has already thought about it.
This wine costs a hundred dollars a bottle at Holy Alliance.
And the other party is now a prisoner, and he still has good food and drink, so the wine must be doubled tenfold.
As for the barbecue, it was a mid-level Warcraft barbecue, although the market price was only ten gold coins per pound.
But with Chef Rose’s craftsmanship, it’s not too much for him to sell it for a hundred gold coins per pound, right?
…
"Ah, Baron Narante is back!"
"How about it? Did Duke Piccolo and others escape safely?"
"That's right. Duke Piccolo and others are also Sky Knights after all. It shouldn't be difficult to escape..."
"Wait a minute, look, are those on the magic carriage Duke Piccolo and all the principal principalities?"
"Ah, it seems true!"
"This... Duke Piccolo was actually captured. He is the God of War of the Bach Empire!"
"Look at the rear. They are all densely packed with Bach coalition cavalry!"
"Baron Nalant is about to rise! Stormland is about to rise!"
When Nalant returned with a group of prisoners, he was met by a group of principality spies halfway.
At first, everyone thought that Narant should have returned without success.
But when he saw clearly Duke Piccolo and others loaded on the magic carriage, his jaw dropped instantly.
Although everyone had seen the scene of Bach's coalition fleeing, they never imagined that even Duke Bick and others would be captured in the end.
And now that Nalant has done all this, it also indicates that the future structure of the league will change.
And the countryside of Stormland, which was originally only famous for its fine wine, may become a place that cannot be ignored in the alliance in the future.
"Let's go back to the alliance quickly!"
"Yes, one hundred thousand extraordinary knights of the Bach coalition were defeated by Baron Nalant, and Duke Bic and others were also captured. This matter must be conveyed back quickly!"
"Let's go!"
With Duke Bick and others being captured, this also means that the revenge battle of the Bach Empire has ended.
A group of spies were here to investigate the course and outcome of the battle between the two sides.
Now that we have received such exciting news, we must return immediately to tell everyone the news.
After saying that, a group of spies mounted their horses and galloped towards the alliance.
…
That night!
"Your Majesty the Duke, Your Majesty the Duke!"
In the royal capital of the Knock Empire, in the luxurious manor of Duke Miller.
The manor's butler changed from his usual calm demeanor and actually hurried directly from the front yard to Duke Miller's residence.
When the male and female servants on the road saw this, they all looked at their housekeeper in surprise.
In the past, the housekeeper had repeatedly warned that as a servant, one must be calm and not impatient, but now the housekeeper himself actually violated this manor rule.
"Blo, come in, what's going on?"
Duke Miller frowned slightly when he heard the shouts coming from far away.
It wasn't that he wasn't happy with Bullo's shouting, but because he knew that something very important must have happened if his old butler could lose his composure like this.
"I've met my lord, I've met Miss Rita!"
Butler Blow entered the room, where Duke Miller was playing with puppets with his granddaughter Lita.
Bullo first greeted the two of them respectfully, and then said with a happy face: "Sir, there is news from the Storm Territory!"
"Oh, the news has come? How is Narant? Is he okay?"
Duke Miller actually felt a lot more at ease when he saw his butler's expression.
Judging from the slight joy on his face, it was obvious that Nalant was safe, or had escaped.
"Sir, Baron Narant is fine. I heard he is very safe. Moreover, Baron Narant has defeated the Bach Empire coalition forces!"
"Well, it's fine, it's okay. We defeated the Bach Empire coalition forces...what, you say it again?!"
Duke Miller felt completely relieved when he heard that Nalant was indeed safe.
However, when he heard the next sentence, he was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and then he looked at his butler with wide eyes.
"Sir, it's true. The spy our Nok Empire sent to the Storm Territory just returned. The spy said that not only is Baron Nalant fine, but he will also annihilate all the Bach Empire's coalition forces!"
"Even Duke Bic and the principal leaders have been captured by Baron Nalant!"
Naturally, the butler did not dare to delay and immediately repeated the message.
"This...how is this possible? How did that boy Nalant do it!"
Although this result must be gratifying for Duke Miller, he never imagined that Nalant could annihilate the Bach coalition.
Even the Duke of Nabik was captured.
You must know that Duke Nabic is not weaker than him, and the Bach coalition still has an army of 100,000 troops. No matter how powerful Nalant is, even if he just repels the Bach coalition, he is already in a hurry.
Now it is not repulse, but total annihilation.
"Grandfather...Grandfather, did Brother Nalant win? Great, great, Brother Nalant defeated the bad guy!"
At this moment, the granddaughter Rita beside Duke Miller suddenly cheered.
It turns out that this little guy has never forgotten Narant. After all, it was Narant's big brother who saved her.
Even after Nalant left, the little guy asked his grandfather from time to time when the big brother would come to the manor again.
When the time comes, I will give those beautiful puppets to her. After all, my grandfather has always taught me to be grateful.
And these days, she also secretly heard her grandfather say that there were bad people who wanted to fight Brother Nalant.
Although Rita didn't know what the so-called beating meant, she knew that the person who beat Brother Nalant was definitely not a good person.
Now it must be very happy to hear that the bad guy has been defeated.
"Haha, yes, Rita, your brother Narant won and defeated the bad guy!"
"Grandpa, that brother Nalant will be able to come to our manor in a few days!" Rita looked at her grandfather with her big watery eyes after hearing this.
A few days ago, my grandfather seemed to say that Brother Nalant would probably come to the Nok Empire in the future.
If it really comes, my grandfather will ask Brother Nalant to accompany him around the royal capital.
Now that the bad guys have been defeated, can it really happen?
"Uh..." Duke Miller paused.
A few days ago, I felt that Nalant was defeated by the Bach coalition and then fled the Storm Territory.
At that time, there is a high probability that he will come to Bach Empire to join him.
After all, as far as he knew, Nalant was not close to many people in this sacred continent.
The most likely people who are not afraid of the Bach Empire providing him with protection are the prince of the Blue Shield Empire and himself.
And that prince is only the third prince of the Blue Shield Empire. It is obviously uncertain whether the Blue Shield Principality will not hesitate to offend the Bach Empire and protect Nalant.
Therefore, he believed that Nalant would most likely come to him, and then he, his granddaughter, would be able to see Nalant, who he had always missed.
But now, Nalant has won and annihilated the Bach coalition forces.
How could this Nalant come to the Nok Empire?
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Could it be that since Brother Nalant won, he won't come?" Rita felt a little uneasy when she saw her grandfather hesitate.
"It will come, it will come! But it will take a while, Rita, just wait for a while!"
Duke Miller didn't want to disappoint his granddaughter, so he could only tell a white lie.
"Okay, when Brother Nalant comes back, when Brother Narant comes back, I will give him this Princess Tata. This Princess Tata is the most beautiful!"
When Rita heard this, she immediately jumped up and down with a little puppet princess in her arms.
"Okay, Rita, just be good and play by yourself for a while. Grandpa has something to do now. He will come back to accompany you later!"
After saying that, Duke Miller handed his granddaughter to the servant and took the butler to the study.
"Blow, where is the spy now?"
"Your Majesty the Duke, the spy came to our manor immediately after reporting the situation to His Majesty the King. He is currently in the living room."
"Okay, call someone to the study immediately. I want to ask for details!"
Soon, the housekeeper called the spy to the study.
Then, Duke Miller started the inquiry.
When faced with Duke Miller's questioning, the spy naturally told everything he knew.
"Fifty magic cannons?" However, as soon as the spy opened his mouth, Duke Miller took a breath of cold air.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Baron Nalant really has fifty magic cannons. Every time a round is fired, it can make the extraordinary knights of the Bach coalition fall off their feet!"
