Chapter 431： surrender and oath

Duke Fisher's voice was clear and unmistakable throughout Riverrun.

"Lord Duke..."

The sturgeon warriors looked at the top of the tower from all corners of the castle, and saw the figure of Duke Fisher. They were sure that the Duke asked them to give up their resistance and surrender to the enemy.

The duke, who is of high moral character and is deeply loved by the people, now looks a little stooped with a straight waist, and his face is gray, like a frail old man, lowering his noble man towards the young man who defeated him. skull.

With the cold wind blowing, the blood-colored cloak behind Ren was screeching.

From the point of view of the sturgeon warriors, they saw a stalwart body, with a faint smile on his handsome face, but with an unquestionably strong self-confidence.

In the sky above his head, there are four giant dragons hovering, exuding a terrifying dragon might.

This scene is in sharp contrast to Duke Fisher who announced his surrender. Victory and defeat, strong and weak, young and old, the picture is extremely impactful, making the sturgeon warriors looking up at Rennes and the nobles in the castle unforgettable.

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

There was silence inside and outside the castle for a few seconds, and the battle between the enemy and our side stopped.

Sicarius raised his hand to indicate that the Ultramarines and the Gunwing Knights ceased fire first, the gunfire subsided, and cleverly stood in front of the Centaur Legion to prevent them from continuing to fight.

"Dang!"

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

After the first person surrendered, the second and the third soon followed... The sturgeon warriors and the superhumans of the Fisher family put down their weapons one after another, expressing that they had given up their resistance.

The Ultramarines took the centaurs and gathered them together as captives.

As soon as the battle ended, the obscure divine aura in the sky quickly dissipated.

Seeing this, Ren was secretly relieved, and he threatened Duke Fisher to slaughter the city and make Barosque the next Mardros. It was just a last resort, and he was not sure that Duke Fisher would compromise.

Fortunately, Varogan's information is very accurate, Duke Fisher is indeed a kind and merciful lord, and it is unlikely that his family and city will perish.

"Young man, are you Lord Glamorgan, Rain Augustus?"

Duke Fisher watched his sturgeon warriors and his clansmen become prisoners, the water curtain circle and city gate of River Run were also destroyed, and the crab port in the distance was also billowing with smoke. I don't know how many people were killed, and my heart ached immediately. Unstoppable, resentful and complicated at the same time, I 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 learning about it, so he could not be sure.

"I have seen the Duke." Ren bowed slightly, "It's me."

Duke Fisher was concerned about whether his own people had been tortured, stared at Ren, snorted twice, and said solemnly: "The land of Congatro is barren and cold, the population is not large, and the wealth is even more than that of the empire. If you don't get any of them, is the empire also coveted?"

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

His words surprised Duke Fisher.

"However," Ren laughed and explained, "The wizards of Wezeland and I are employed by Ms. Emilys in our own name, and have nothing to do with the empire. The Duke doesn't need to worry about it."

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

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

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

"Dragonborn of House Drogon..." He sighed.

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

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

"Is Congatro returning to the age of dragonborn rule?" Duke Fisher whispered to himself, remembering the Drogonburg dynasty. Gatro was a dragonborn seated on the throne, and still has a sense of awe.

Ren's soul eye has been open all the time. Judging from the color of the soul and the ups and downs of emotions, Duke Fisher does not have much resistance to the return of the dragonborn, which is a good sign.

"Dragonborn will surely regain the Iron Throne, Lord Duke, how do you choose?" Ren's tone was calm, but it sounded like thunder in Duke Fisher's ears.

He hesitated, opened his mouth but didn't speak.

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

After half a minute of silence, Duke Fisher gave a wry smile. He knew very well that when he asked the sturgeon warriors to lay down their weapons and surrender, he had no choice.

"The Duchy of Fisher is willing to pledge allegiance to the Fort Drogon family and support Queen Emily on the throne." Duke Fisher's voice revealed decisiveness without any hesitation.

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

"Very good, the Duke is wise."

Ren nodded with satisfaction.

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

"Lord Duke, 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 on the word.

"Yes, sincerity. It's up to Emilys to talk to you." Ren opened an arbitrary door and walked in first.

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

He is familiar with this spacious hall. It is located in the center of the main fort of River Run, with a triangular interior space. It is not only the most important place for the family, but also the sanctuary of the **** of the river. It is called the White River Hall.

In front of the wall at the end of the White River Hall, there is a tall statue of Oceana, and the sturgeon warriors in the castle come here every day to pray to him. Every summer on the River Festival Day, a large-scale festival will be held in the hall for three consecutive days. Only His most devout believers are eligible to participate, and most of them are nobles and sturgeon warriors in the principality.

At this time, the White River 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 position of Duke Fisher, symbolizing the ruler of the duchy.

A slender lady was sitting on a high-back chair. She had long silver-gold hair, dark purple eyes, and a pair of swept-back dragon horns on her forehead. She had a noble temperament and a majestic posture.

A high-backed chair is placed on a platform with seven stone steps.

A group of people stood on the left and right below the steps, and Duke Fisher saw two familiar and unfamiliar faces in the crowd. It is familiar because he has seen them before, but it is unfamiliar because he has not seen them for many years.

The legendary swordsman Astan, the chief bodyguard of the Mad King Sirea; and the intelligence chief, Valogan, so he is still alive...

But what frightened Duke Fisher the most was a high elf and a wizard with white hair.

And Ren, who defeated him.

The three Speakers from Wezeland Floating Void City all stood on the steps, showing an equal status with Dragonborn, and even higher than Dragonborn.

There are several figures of different shapes below the steps. Duke Fisher has just seen their real bodies. These are giant dragons!

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

In addition to the enemy who occupied the castle, there were also his own people. Duke Fisher saw at a glance his eldest son Edmure and second son Brinton, as well as several legends among the sturgeon warriors. Most of the men he trusted the most were wounded and lethargic. Prisoner.

Around the hall, there are a group of extraordinary warriors wearing blue armor.

Duke Fisher couldn't help but look at these powerful warriors, especially the soul guns in their hands. It was this terrifying weapon that swept his defenses.

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

"Lord Duke."

"Father."

Duke Fisher caught everyone's attention as soon as he appeared, but he didn't look at his people. He quickly stepped forward to the bottom of the steps, knelt down on one knee and lowered his head.

"Reeves Fisher has met Her Royal Highness Emily."

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

The captured nobles and sturgeon warriors were stunned, their faces filled with astonishment.

In addition to Ren, Emilys and others were also surprised by his vassal statement. They thought that after Duke Fisher surrendered, they should choose to surrender, but they didn't think so soon.

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

She helped Duke Fisher with her own hands, and said with a smile: "Although this is the first time I have set foot on Congatro's land, I have already heard of the reputation of the Duke, and I was once a supporter of the Drogon Castle family. The father and king are loyal and only compromised with the usurper when he was forced to. I can understand the painstaking efforts of the duke. Today’s battle is just a misunderstanding. All bloodshed and sacrifices are for the dragonborn to regain the throne. I also ask the duke to forgive me. "

This scene was spoken in a high-sounding manner, causing Duke Fisher to take a deep look at Emilys.

He knew very well that this dragonborn was stepping down for him.

"As expected of a woman who can have a relationship with Weizeland Floating City, I didn't expect that baby girl back then would have grown to this point."

Duke Fisher sighed in his heart.

When he got in close contact with Emilys, he noticed that Emilys's strength was strong, and the dragon bloodline had been discovered very deeply, at least it was a legendary middle-level!

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

Duke Fisher's thoughts turned sharply, but on the surface he did not forget to say: "When Mark rebelled, I never supported him. Even if he sat on the Iron Throne, for so many years, the Duchy of Fisher did not really support him. He surrendered, and His Highness must know that I had a war with Mark not long ago."

"Yes, I heard it."

Emily nodded, "It's a pity that the Duke was not able to destroy the usurper. However, this is also a good thing. What the Drogon Castle family has lost, naturally I, the legitimate heir to the Congatro throne, personally Take back."

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

Duke Fisher said in his heart, come.

This should be the sincerity Lord Glamorgan just said.

He did not respond rashly, but humbly performed the etiquette of a vassal to the lord, and replied respectfully, "Please instruct Your Highness."

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

"First, according to the law among the nobles of Congatro, the duke needs to pay a ransom for the captives to redeem your family and subordinate legions. The Fisher family owns the best port in Congatro, which has accumulated over many years. The wealth that has come down is countless, and I think five million golden dragons is a very suitable price."

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

This ransom was not demanded for himself, but was used to pay for the wizards of Wezeland. For the wealthy Fisher family, five million gold dragons would not hurt the bones, but it was enough to make them feel heartache and pay. Don't dare to defect easily after the price.

Sure enough, Duke Fisher didn't have much reaction and nodded in agreement.

Emily continued to say: "Second, immediately summon all the noble lords in the Duchy of Fisher, and rush to Runaway 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, to make Duke Fisher stand in public and block the way back.

The Fisher family's beliefs do not allow them to break their oath.

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

"Yes, I will immediately have someone notify my vassal that I will meet with His Royal Highness at Fort Rush tomorrow." Duke Fisher readily agreed, his family's life is in the other's hands, and there is no room for negotiation.

"The third and last thing."

A smile appeared on Emily's face The other party agreed to the first two conditions, a little bit of cannibalism, then there would not be an overly violent response to further requirements, and solemnly said: "Please Duke Your lord will send at least half of his army to follow me to fight the usurper, and you and the two counts will also go together."

The two earls she was referring to were Edmure and Brinton, the two most outstanding sons of Duke Fisher and the heirs of the family, who became quite hostages.

The faces of the two people mentioned changed slightly.

If all three conditions are met, then it will be completely bound to the Dragonborn and become the enemy of Mark, and the Fisher family will have no way out.

If the Dragonborn fails to restore the country, it must be liquidated by Mark.

Duke Fisher was silent for a while.

His eyes swept across the three Wezeland Speakers on the steps, as well as the dragons and legends on the stage, as well as the Ultramarines standing around the hall, which shocked him and gave him a bit of confidence. .

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

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

Duke Fisher took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee again, and said loudly, "In the name of God, the Riverbend Legion will swear to follow His Highness, restore Congatro, and support the Drogon family on the throne."
