Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 323: Rat, rat, me
Zhang Jingyi was digging the large flat floor with his toes when he saw more and more people turning against him. The small lords around Sunshine City came one after another to surrender and swear an oath.

In fact, there is nothing unforgivable about these people.

Sixteen years ago, there was a coup in the capital. What could these small lords far away in the western border do? They had no choice at all. By the time they received the news of the coup, the dust had settled. They could only passively choose to follow the new king.

For those who have no choice, there is no right or wrong.

Elizabeth's ragtag army more than doubled in size in an instant...

If we add the civilians who came out of the city and expressed their willingness to follow him, the number would increase by more than four or five times. A huge army, surging public opinion, and advanced weapons.

Even a fool knows that the coalition forces of Soleimani and the Holy See are doomed to lose.

The only problem now is that they have captured a large number of civilians as shields. The real problem is how to rescue these civilians.

The army escorted Elizabeth and her entourage into the gate of the outer city.

Inside is a large block. In the middle of this block, there is a small inner castle, which is Soleimani’s old hideout. During normal wars, if the outer city is lost, the soldiers will usually retreat directly to the inner castle.

But this time they knew that if they retreated to the inner castle they would also be bombarded, and because they were more concentrated, they would be bombarded even more severely, so they retreated into the neighborhood where civilians lived.

This has led to the current embarrassing situation.

Elizabeth stood on the top of the outer city wall, facing the street ahead. Zhang Jingyi also stood beside her. He could see civilians being escorted in the street to block the army. When he took out a telescope to look closely, he could see the terrified expressions on their faces.

Zhang Jingyi sighed, "They are worried, so we will use the cannon to attack them as well."

Elizabeth: "There's no way I could do such a thing."

Zhang Jingyi: "But the current deadlock will eventually be resolved."

"Ok!"

Elizabeth and Zhang Jingyi locked eyes for a few seconds, and they both understood each other's meaning. She picked up the magic conch and said loudly, "Grand Duke Suleimani, let's make a deal."

Soleimani had no way of amplifying the conch shell, so he had his men respond in unison: “What deal?”

Elizabeth: "Give me all the civilians in your hands and don't harm them. I will allow you to evacuate Sunshine City safely and promise not to send troops to pursue you."

Soleimani: "Then I lost the city. You have a good plan."

Elizabeth: "It is better to lose a city than to lose one's life."

Soleimani: "Humph, as long as I don't lose these civilians, you can't take my life. What should I be afraid of?"

Elizabeth: "Are you going to let the army keep their weapons on the necks of civilians? Your army doesn't need to eat? When they are eating, can they still put their weapons on the necks of civilians? They won't be soft-hearted? Are you sure that every one of your subordinates can really be ruthless and kill civilians without blinking an eye?"

These questions made Soleimani stunned.

Yes, it is very tiring to use civilians as shields for a long time, and the soldiers have to concentrate. If they are distracted or eat, the civilians will try their best to escape.

This is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is the shaking of the army's morale! Soldiers are also human beings, and they have emotions. Although their orders are the top priority for them, there will always be some people who are soft-hearted and can't bear to treat civilians like this. Maybe they will secretly let the civilians in front of them run away, causing great chaos and shaking more soldiers' morale.

As time goes on, all kinds of chaotic possibilities will arise.

Soleimani couldn't help but look at Kaabi.

This naive subordinate seems to be in a bad mood now. From the moment he gave the order to use civilians as shields, Kirby's mood has been off. This guy may turn against him at any time.

Elizabeth shouted, "My cannon is aimed at you. If there is a flaw in your civilian shield, I can send you to the sky with a barrage of cannons, and you don't even have a way to threaten me."

"In other words, I have countless chances, but you don't even have one chance."

Elizabeth's voice was amplified a few degrees, and the magic conch amplified her resounding voice several times, with earth-shaking momentum: "Accepting the deal now is your only chance. If you miss this opportunity, your civilian shields will continue to decrease due to various accidents over time. When you lose them, you will also lose your life under my fire."

Soleimani: “…”

Quiet, eerily quiet!

Dozens of seconds later, Soleimani turned to look at the Golden Cardinal next to him. The eyes of the two leaders intertwined in mid-air, and it was obvious that both of them were shaken.

Soleimani no longer had any doubts and asked, "If we release these civilians, will you really keep your promise, let us go, and promise not to send troops to hunt us down?"

Elizabeth: "You are not joking! And I am a real king."

Soleimani: "Okay! We accept the deal."

He turned to Kirby and said, "Release all civilians."

Kirby had been waiting for this order for a long time. As soon as he received the order, he immediately shouted: "Release all the civilians."

This order was passed down through the Iron Horse Knights layer by layer. At the same time, the Golden Archbishop also issued the same order to the Temple Knights.

Many soldiers were disgusted and repulsed by such things in their hearts, but they acted reluctantly only because of orders.

Now I finally don’t have to torture myself!
A large number of civilians were released. As soon as they escaped from the control of the Knights of the Iron Horse and the Knights Temple, they immediately ran forward and hid behind Elizabeth's Restoration Army at the fastest speed.

Those civilians who were originally believers of the Church of Light now felt that the priests in white robes were all hideous. The sub-humans who were brainwashed and looked down upon by them now all had handsome features and suddenly became good-looking.

A believer hid behind the Rat Man and whispered, "Mr. Rat Man, I used to think that none of you Rat Man were good people and that you were all thieves. Now I know I was wrong and I am ashamed of my previous ignorance."

The rat man squeaked and said proudly, "You are right. I am best at stealing. His Majesty the King even praised me for my high stealing skills. Last time, I sneaked into the enemy base for His Majesty the King and stole a big box. His Majesty the King gave me a big bag of cat food. Hey, isn't that great? I, the rat, can eat cat food too."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of cat food, as if he was holding some high-end, top-grade food, with a smug smile that transcended class on his face: "Look! This is cat food!"
