Chapter 431

Lord Fisher's voice rang clearly and unmistakably throughout Runrun Castle.

"Your Excellency the Duke..."

The Sturgeon warriors looked at the top of the tower from every corner of the castle, and when they saw the figure of Duke Fisher, they were sure that it was the Duke who asked him to give up resistance and surrender to the enemy.

The noble duke, who is highly respected and loved by the people, now looks a little stooped, with a gray complexion, like a frail old man who lowered his noble head towards the young man who defeated him. head.

Under the cold wind, the blood-colored cloak behind Rennes rattled.

From the perspective of the Sturgeon warriors, they saw a stalwart body, with a faint smile on his handsome face, but with undeniable confidence.

There are four giant dragons hovering in the sky above his head, exuding terrifying dragon might.

This scene is in sharp contrast with Duke Fisher who announced his surrender. Victory and defeat, strength and weakness, young and old, the picture is extremely impactful, making the Sturgeon warriors and nobles in the castle looking up at Rennes unforgettable forever.

At this moment, Ren seemed to be more dazzling than the sun.

There was a few seconds of silence inside and outside the castle, and the fighting between the enemy and us stopped.

Sicarius raised his hand to signal that the Ultramarines and the Spearwing Knights ceased fire first, the gunshots subsided, and they cleverly blocked the Centaur Legion to prevent them from continuing to fight.

"Clang!"

A Sturgeon warrior threw the long sword in his hand to the ground, raised his hand and came out of his hiding place.

Once the first person surrendered, the second and third soon followed... The warrior Sturgeon and the transcendent members of the Fisher family put down their weapons one after another, expressing that they had given up resistance.

The Ultramarines took the centaurs and gathered them as captives.

As soon as the battle was over, the faint aura of divine power in the sky quickly dissipated.

Seeing this, Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He threatened Duke Fisher to massacre the city and make Barosque the next Matros, but it was just a bad strategy, and he was not sure that Duke Fisher would definitely compromise.

Fortunately, Valogen's information was very accurate. Duke Fisher was indeed a generous and benevolent lord, and it was unlikely that he would just watch his family and city perish.

"Young man, are you the Lord of Glamorgan, Wren Augustus?"

Duke Fisher watched his Sturgeon warriors and clansmen become prisoners, the water curtain circle and city gate of Runrun Castle were also destroyed, and the Crab Harbor in the distance was also filled with thick smoke, and I don't know how many people were killed. Endless, resentful but complicated at the same time, couldn't help but ask this sentence.

In fact, he had already heard about Ren's origin, but Congatro was far away from the empire. The specific situation was not very detailed, and he was not interested in knowing it, so he couldn't be sure.

"I've seen the Duke." Ren bowed slightly and saluted, "It's me."

Duke Fisher was concerned about whether his own people were tortured and killed, while staring at Ren, snorted twice, and said in a deep voice: "The land of Congatro is barren and cold, the population is not large, and the wealth is even ten percent of the empire. If you don’t even get one of them, does the empire also covet it?”

Ren replied indifferently: "This is true for the empire, but for individuals, Congatro is an inexhaustible mountain of gold. No one will dislike too much land and wealth."

His words startled Duke Fischer.

"However," Ren laughed and explained: "The wizards of Wezeland and I accept the employment of Ms. Emily in the name of individuals, and have nothing to do with the empire. Your Excellency, you don't have to worry about it."

"I hope so." Duke Fisher obviously didn't believe it.

He looked in the direction of the city gate. Surrounded by everyone, Emily stepped on the frozen ice and entered the castle step by step.

In this beautiful woman, Duke Fisher felt the breath of the long-lost Dragonborn.

"The dragonborn of House Drogonburg..." he sighed.

Not long ago, Duke Fisher felt a little unbelievable when he heard the news about the Dragonborn from Duke Dans. Now that he saw the Dragonborn appearing with his own eyes and captured his castle, he had to accept the reality.

And, this dragonborn has formidable helpers, and a formidable army.

"Is Congatro going back to the era of dragonborn rule again?" Duke Fisher whispered to himself, remembering the Drogonburg dynasty back then. During his hundreds of years, most of the time Congatro Gatro is a dragonborn who sits on a throne, and is still in awe to this day.

Ren's soul eye was always open. Judging from the color of the soul and the ups and downs of his emotions, Duke Fisher did not have much resistance to the return of the dragonborn. This is a good sign.

"Dragonborn will surely return to the Iron Throne, my lord duke, how do you choose?" Ren's tone was calm, but it sounded like thunder to Duke Fisher's ears.

He hesitated, opened his mouth but did not speak.

Ren did not urge him, but this silent oppression made Duke Fisher even more uncomfortable.

After being silent for half a minute, Duke Fisher smiled wryly. He knew very well that when he asked the Sturgeon warriors to put down their weapons and surrender, he had no choice.

"The Duchy of Fisher is willing to serve the Drogonburg family and support Queen Emily on the throne." Duke Fisher's voice revealed determination, without any hesitation.

This is not only for the sake of the survival of the family and the people, it may also be an opportunity for oneself.

"Very well, Your Excellency the Duke is wise."

Ren nodded in satisfaction.

The eyes of the soul showed that Duke Fisher did not lie. Although he was still somewhat reluctant, his submission was true, and the situation did not allow him to retreat.

"Your Excellency, it's not enough to just say a few words from you, you also need to show enough sincerity," Ren said.

"Sincerity..." Duke Fisher chewed the word.

"Yes, sincerity. Let Emilys talk to you." Ren opened a random door and walked in first.

Duke Fisher immediately followed and came out through any door to find the main hall of the castle.

He was very familiar with this spacious hall. It was located in the center of the main castle of Runrun Castle. The interior space was triangular. It was not only the most important place of the family, but also the sanctuary of the river god. It was called White River Hall.

In front of the wall at the end of the White River Hall, stands a tall statue of Oceana, where the Sturgeon warriors in the castle come to pray to him every day. Every summer on the River Festival Day, a large-scale ceremony will be held in the hall for three consecutive days. Only His most devout believers are eligible to participate, most of whom are nobles and warriors in the Principality.

At this time, Baihe Hall was occupied by a group of outsiders.

There is an exquisite crystal high-back chair at the foot of the statue of Oceana, which is the seat of Duke Fisher, symbolizing the ruler of the principality.

A lady with an exquisite figure is sitting on a high-backed chair. She has long silver-gold hair, deep purple eyes, and a pair of swept-back dragon horns on her forehead.

High-backed chairs are placed on a platform with seven stone steps.

A group of people stood on the left and right sides under the steps, and Duke Fisher saw two familiar and unfamiliar faces in the crowd. He said he was familiar because he had seen them before, but he was unfamiliar because he hadn't seen them for many years.

The legendary swordsman Astan, the chief bodyguard of the mad king Shyria; and the chief of intelligence Valogen, it turns out that he is still alive...

But what surprised Duke Fischer the most was a high elf and a wizard with white hair.

And Ren who beat himself.

The three speakers from Wezelan Floating Void City all stood on the steps, revealing that they were equal to the Dragonborn, and even higher than the Dragonborn.

There are several characters of different shapes under the steps. Duke Fisher has just seen their real bodies, and they are all giant dragons!

There have never been so many legends gathered in the White River Hall.

In addition to the enemies occupying the castle, there are also our own people. Duke Fisher saw his eldest son Edmure and second son Brinton at a glance, as well as a few legends among Sturgeon Warriors. Most of his subordinates who he relied on the most were wounded and listless. Prisoner.

Around the hall, there is a group of extraordinary warriors in blue armor.

Duke Fisher couldn't help looking at these powerful fighters, especially the soul guns in their hands. It was this terrifying weapon that swept his defense line.

Their faces were hidden under the helmets, and their tall bodies were like an iron wall. They stood still and did not make the slightest sound, but no one dared to ignore their existence.

"Your Excellency the Duke."

"Father."

Duke Fisher attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared, but he didn't look at his people. He quickly stepped forward to the steps, half-kneeled on one knee, and lowered his head.

"Lieves Fisher has met His Royal Highness Emily."

Duke Fisher's steady voice echoed in the White River Hall, every word was extremely clear, revealing a firmness, as if he was welcoming back the monarch's vassals.

The captured nobles and warriors were stunned, their faces full of astonishment.

In addition to Ren, Emily and the others were also surprised by his surrender. They thought that Duke Fisher would choose to surrender after he surrendered, but they didn't think so soon.

Emily reacted very quickly, and quickly got up and walked down the steps.

She helped Duke Fisher up with her own hands, and said with a smile on her face: "Although it is the first time for me to set foot on the land of Congatro, I have heard of the Duke's reputation for a long time. I used to be a supporter of the Drogonburg family. The father is loyal and loyal, and he only compromised with the usurper when he was forced to. I can understand the Duke's painstaking efforts. Today's battle is just a misunderstanding. All the bloodshed and sacrifices are for the dragonborn to regain the throne. Please forgive me, the Duke. "

The words in this scene were so high-sounding that Duke Fisher took a deep look at Emily.

He knew very well that this dragonborn was giving himself a step down.

"As expected of a woman who can get in touch with Wezelan Floating Void City, I didn't expect that baby girl back then to have grown to this extent."

Duke Fisher sighed inwardly.

When he came into close contact with Emily, he noticed that Emily is powerful, and the blood of the dragon has been discovered very deeply, at least it is a legendary intermediate!

No wonder she dared to approach, not afraid of my sudden attack.

Duke Fisher's thoughts changed sharply, but on the surface he did not forget to say: "Mark rebelled back then, and I never supported him. Even though he was sitting on the Iron Throne, the Duke of Fisher has not really given any support to him for so many years. He surrendered, and His Highness must also know that I just had a war with Mark not long ago."

"Yes, I heard."

Emilys nodded, "It's a pity that the Duke failed to eliminate the usurper. However, this is also a good thing. Naturally, I, the orthodox heir to the throne of Congatro, will personally let the Drogonburg family lose things." Take back."

She walked up the steps again and sat on the high-backed chair, with a serious expression, and asked, "Your Excellency, since you are loyal to me, as my vassal, should you fulfill the obligations of a vassal?"

Duke Fisher said in his heart, here he comes.

This should be the sincerity that Lord Glamorgan just mentioned.

He did not respond hastily, but humbly performed the etiquette of a vassal to the lord, and replied respectfully: "Please give orders, Your Highness."

The corners of Emily's mouth raised slightly, she sat more upright, stretched out three fingers, and said loudly: "Three things."

"First, according to the law among the nobles of Congatero, the Duke needs to pay a ransom for the captives to redeem your family and your army. The Fisher family owns the best port in Congatero, and has accumulated The wealth that came down is countless, and I think five million golden dragons is a very appropriate price."

She stopped here, waiting for Duke Fisher's reaction.

The ransom was not for himself, but to pay the Wezeland wizards. Five million golden dragons would not hurt the rich Fisher family, but it was enough to make them feel heartbroken. Don't dare to turn back easily after the price.

Sure enough, Duke Fisher didn't react too much, and nodded in agreement.

Emily continued to say, "Second, call all the nobles and lords in the Principality of Fischer immediately, and rush to Runrun Castle within a day to participate in the canonization ceremony. Under the witness of Oceana, you publicly declare your allegiance to me .”

The purpose of this request is very simple, it is to make Duke Fisher stand in line publicly and block the back road.

The beliefs of the Fisher family do not allow them to break their vows.

Moreover, the canonization ceremony also announced the return of the Dragonborn to the Congatro Kingdom, and it was supported by the Fisher family, which is justified.

"Yes, I will let my vassals be notified immediately to meet His Royal Highness at Castle Run tomorrow." Duke Fisher readily agreed. His family's life is in the hands of the other party, and there is no room for negotiation.

"The third and last thing."

There was a smile on Emily's face. The other party agreed to the first two conditions, and if they nibbled a little bit, then they would not react too violently to further requests, and solemnly said: "Please send at least half of the people under your command to the Duke." The army will follow me to fight against the usurper, and you and the two counts will also go together."

The two earls she mentioned were Edmure and Brinton, the two most outstanding sons of Duke Fisher and the heirs of the family, who were turned into hostages.

The faces of the two people mentioned changed slightly.

If all three conditions are agreed, then they will be completely bound to the Dragonborn and become Mark's enemy, and the Fisher family will have no way out.

In case the Dragonborn failed to restore the country, he would be liquidated by Mark.

Duke Fisher was silent for a few breaths.

His eyes swept over the three Wezeland Speakers on the steps, as well as the giant dragons and legends on the stage, as well as the Ultramarines standing around the hall, which made him startled and at the same time gave him a bit of confidence .

Dragonborn has so many unfathomable helpers, and there is even a floating city behind them, the success rate of restoring the country is extremely high.

Thinking of the attitude of the god of the river, it seems that even the gods have acquiesced.

Duke Fisher took a deep breath, knelt on one knee again, and said loudly: "In the name of God, the Riverbend Legion will follow Your Highness to the death, restore Congatero, and support the Drogonburg family to ascend to the throne."
