The weapon in his hand fell, his spine seemed to be completely taken away, his body lost support, and Finley's posture collapsed and he fell to the ground.
The commander was killed in battle, his colleagues rebelled, and his allies stabbed him. Under these three blows, the morale of the North Sea Allied Forces quickly dropped to negative numbers. The remaining 10,000 soldiers quickly dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
In fact, they really want to escape!
But the escape sailboat was frozen by Esdeath, and outside the vast ice field was a rough sea. Some soldiers relied on their good water skills and jumped into the sea to escape, but their lives were harvested by Chiron's arrows and Deidara's explosive clay.
"Tsk"
Esdeath put one hand on her hip and looked down at the dark crowd.
The soldiers she had personally trained and trained stood behind her. The neat queues, serious expressions, and murderous eyes made the enemies who were kneeling and surrendering not dare to look more, and lowered their heads one after another.
"General Esdeath." Zhuge Liang politely said, "You are the biggest contributor to the victory of this war."
Esdeath commented lightly: "They are too weak."
"..." Zhuge Liang didn't know how to proceed.
"Give all my credit to them." Esdeath tilted her head, indicating that all the credit should be given to her subordinates.
Zhuge Liang immediately praised: "General Esdeath really loves his soldiers as much as his son."
"Excellent soldiers deserve generous treatment." Esdeath pursed his lips and smiled: "They are all guys who have followed me through life and death, and their performance this time was also very good."
"——!"
The soldier behind Esdeath straightened his back even more.
"The rest will be left to you." Esdeath turned around, waved his hand towards Zhuge Liang, and said to the soldiers: "You, please obey Governor Zhuge's orders for the time being."
"yes!"
The soldiers responded in unison, showing even more majesty, and the discipline and coordination of the entire team seemed extraordinary.
Then Esdeath hooked her index finger at one person and said, "You, who killed the least number of enemies, will be punished by me."
"..." The defector named by Esdeath was shocked all over.
"Follow me." Esdeath glanced sideways at him and continued to leave.
The defector followed him dejectedly, and the other defectors breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should we do with these prisoners?" Chiron asked Zhuge Liang.
"The first to surrender will be given preferential treatment, and the other soldiers will undergo labor reform." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"The navy also receives the same treatment?"
"Well, but they all need to pass His Highness Meijiu's singing." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly. Ordinary people without strength could not resist the voice of Mijiu infusing spiritual power. Mijiu's ability also made Zhuge Liang no longer worry about surrender. Whether a person will rebel or not, he only needs to deepen his mind control.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Honasan Cooper, led a group of officers over, knelt on one knee and said: "Governor Zhuge Liang."
"Please get up quickly." Zhuge Liang immediately acted like a courteous corporal and helped him up.
"The World Government ordered us to blow up bases and destroy warships, but I didn't carry out any of them. I dedicated them all to the Kingdom of China."
"With righteous people like you, why should the corrupt and dark world government be destroyed!" Zhuge Liang held Cooper's arms with both hands and wanted to shake them hard. However, now he is a lieutenant general, equivalent to the rank of colonel at the Navy Headquarters. Cooper remained motionless.
"..." Zhuge Liang released his palm without leaving any trace, pretending that nothing happened, and continued to chat and laugh with Cooper and others.
Cooper didn't realize what had just happened, but he felt Zhuge Liang's grip on his arm became a little stronger.
Since all the new sailors with stubborn personalities were dead, those who had been in the army for several years had no resistance to surrendering to the Dawn Pirates.
The longer they have been in the army and the higher their status, the marines understand that what they are defending is not justice, but the rights and interests of the world government and the supreme authority of the Celestial Dragons. However, these vested interests will never look down at themselves who are working hard. The surrender therefore went very smoothly.
Perhaps only Chiron and Reiju tightened their nerves, fearing that Zhuge Liang would encounter a sudden assassination, and guarded Zhan Wuzha with all their attention.
Esdeath entered the cabin and asked, "How is that fat man's injury?"
A doctor in a white coat replied: "Seriously injured and comatose, but not life-threatening."
"Remember to put the sea-floor stone handcuffs on him." Esdeath warned, leading the person to be punished into the torture room.
…
The guy who was kneeling on the wooden board and being punished cried bitterly: "General Esdeath, I am very sorry..."
Like a washboard board, the protruding part is sharp but not sharp. It can cause great pain but will not seriously harm the person being punished.
"Oh?" Esdeath crossed her legs, held her chin, and asked with interest, "Why are you apologizing?"
"...I have killed the least number of enemies." He pondered for half a second. This was the moment when his brain was running the fastest.
"Well..." Esdeath tilted her head and said, "Half of the answer is correct."
Then he said to the person standing by: "Give him a stone slab."
"yes."
The man moved quickly and dropped the slate in his hand on the punished Martin's lap.
The pain in his calf was like a dull knife cutting flesh, and Martin immediately screamed: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
"This is the punishment for this time."
"...Thank you, Lord Esdeath for the reward..." m.
"You'd better be mentally prepared." Esdeath glanced at the people standing aside, who were the second and third lowest number of enemies killed this time: "If you are still the last few next time, you two will also have to do it. receive punishment."
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of those who watched Esdeath's punishment.
"Did you hear me?"
"yes!"
Esdeath clapped her hands: "Okay, you two let him go and take him to apply medicine."
Then he got up and left the torture room alone.
Deidara, who was waiting in the cabin, was quite surprised and asked curiously: "After being punished by Sister Esdeath, he is still alive?"
"These are the guys who surrendered before the battle." Esdeath said lightly: "Besides, the coach has stated before the war that prisoners cannot be slaughtered at will."
"Sister Esdeath, are you such a person who obeys orders?"
"..." Esdeath turned to look at Deidara expressionlessly: "You want to try my torture, I promise it won't hurt your life."
"Let's forget it..." Deidara waved his hands repeatedly.
"My torture techniques are an art form."
"I can't afford this art."
"Is that so? That's such a pity..." Esdeath chuckled, then turned and left.
"...No, it's not a pity at all." Deidara muttered.
An inventory after the war revealed that more than 9,000 North Sea coalition troops were captured, more than 10,000 enemies were wiped out, and more than 130 large and small ships were captured. The navy surrendered 13,000 people, suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and captured two large warships. , seven medium-sized warships and twenty small warships.
"Governor Zhuge." Cooper stayed by Zhuge Liang's side and introduced: "The bases of Beihai Branch 34 to 40 are intact. When will you send someone to take over?"
"It won't be too late when I reorganize the navy and the Beihai Allied Forces." Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Sharpening the sword will not waste time chopping wood. If the army is chaotic, the battle orders are inconsistent, and it becomes a mess during the battle, then it will not be a waste of time." How to win.”
"S-That's true..." Cooper's eloquence cannot be compared to Zhuge Liang, who is eloquent and eloquent. Whenever Cooper wants to show off his talents, Zhuge Liang can always change the subject without leaving any trace.
"Don't worry, I will definitely report your credit to Lord Cooper!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Your official position will not be low."
"That's good, that's good." Cooper nodded reassuringly.
"You go back and restrain the navy soldiers first, and we will return to the station together." Zhuge Liang smiled and patted Cooper on the shoulder.
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" After all, Cooper is a soldier who has been in the naval system for more than 20 years and has no shortage of command capabilities.
Zhuge Liang smiled as he watched the Navy and the North Sea Allied Forces divide into small teams and board their own sailing ships in batches.
Reiju secretly smiled mockingly.
Zhuge Liang asked: "What's wrong? Your Excellency Lei Jiu?"
Reijiu pursed her lips and said, "It's nothing. Seeing the other party's flattering expression made me want to laugh."
"This is normal, Your Excellency Leijiu. Everyone has different desires." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Those who have desires are easy to control."
"If a person desires money, reward him with money; if he desires power, promote his official position; if a person does not want anything, this kind of person is very terrible."
"Why?" Reiju asked doubtfully.
"After all, there are only a few people who have no desires and no demands. If they are deliberately showing no desires and no demands, this kind of tolerant guy is the most terrifying. His secret plot is definitely not small."
"Maybe I am such a person." Reiju said sarcastically to herself.
"No, Reiju-dono cares most about his family. This kind of person will not betray easily."
"..." Leijiu was silent for a while, then shook her head with a wry smile: "I can't hide this from you, Governor Zhuge."
Zhuge Liang advised: "Your Excellency Lei Jiu needs to study hard to learn this kind of ability."
"I don't want to rule Beihai at all," Reiju complained.
Zhuge Liang smiled "haha", shook his feather fan, rolled his eyes, and said: "If you don't want to rule Beihai, you can give birth to a child and let your child be the king of Beihai."
"..." Leijiu suddenly felt her face getting hot. For a young girl, she actually skipped the middle part and jumped directly to the final step of giving birth.
However, Leijiu, who has a generous personality, decided to fight back: "I wonder, when will Governor Zhuge's wedding be held? I can prepare red envelopes in advance."
"Ahem." Zhuge Liang cleared his throat. After the Dawn Pirates invaded Beihai, several of the participating countries that had defected early were already urging Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang and other ministers to marry their princesses. After all, these kings were also afraid of Dawn. The pirates crossed the river and burned the bridge.
Once they get married, these kings will truly become "a family" and no longer need to worry.
"After finishing this period of work, I will get married with Zifang and others." Zhuge Liang simply explained that Beihai is currently in its most chaotic period, and Zhuge Liang does not want to miss such a good opportunity to invade.
To be honest, Zhuge Liang did not agree with the lord's distribution of power to his women and sons, and was worried that a situation like Yuan Shao would occur, where the three sons fought for power and were eventually defeated one by one by Cao Cao.
However, in this world, Eric has strong personal strength and the means of immortality, so Zhuge Liang did not object forcefully.
Esdeath's great strength and personal charm also played a lot of roles in the capture of Beihai. Moreover, Esdeath is different from other women in that she has no ambition to fight for power. All she wants is strong enemies and battles.
"Go back." Zhuge Liang turned around and prepared to leave, his feet moving a little stiffly.
Reijiu smiled silently. It was difficult for ordinary people to withstand the freezing cold temperature created by Esdeath. Zhuge Liang, who must do everything personally, endured it for a long time.
"Chiron." Esdeath found Chiron, who was assisting Zhuge Liang in his work, pointed at the sky, and asked, "Isn't that cloud special?"
"Clouds?" After hearing this, Chiron raised his head and narrowed his eyes: "...There are windmills and balloons on it. It should be an empty island."
"It's an empty island..." Esdeath said regretfully: "It's a pity that Wendy is not here, so there is no way to go up."
…
"What did you say!?" Gorbachev, the five-year-old star, was furious: "The navy in the North Sea actually surrendered to the enemy on a large scale!?"
"Or surrender to the Dawn Pirates!?"
"Yes, yes!" The naval captain who reported did not dare to raise his head and continued: "According to the report of the agents who infiltrated the North Sea coalition forces, the base commander and deputy base commander of the 34th to 40th branch of the North Sea, Honasan Cooper, took the lead , all surrender to the Dawn Pirates!"
"..."
The lungs of the five old men who held the highest power almost exploded with anger.
The five-old star "Lincoln" exhaled a breath and asked: "Were the bases from the 34th branch to the 40th branch bombed?"
"No." The naval captain whispered: "After receiving the report, I ordered the agents staying near these branches to go to these naval branches to investigate, and found that there were no traces of bombs being planted."
"I'm afraid these base commanders had no intention of obeying the order to blow up the base from the beginning."
"Several intact naval bases and dozens of warships have all fallen into the hands of the Dawn Pirates."
"boom"
The five old star "Hideki Tojo" slammed the scabbard on the floor and said viciously: "I didn't expect that I was bitten by a domestic dog!"
"..." The naval captain, who was called a domestic dog, lowered his head.
"Since the navy surrendered to the enemy on a large scale once, there will be a second and third time." The five-old star "Churchill" turned his head and looked around, and said coldly: "We must not set this precedent."
"This sign must be killed! The base commanders and deputy base commanders of Branch 34 to Branch 40, as well as Honasan Cooper, must not let them go easily!"
The five old star "Itagaki Taisuke" with a long beard asked: "Are you going to send CP0 to Beihai?"
"Of course, give death to these traitors!"
Some people died, but not completely...
