Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1822 1823 The elves surrendered

"Surrender, surrender?" When Kelb came to his senses, he asked in an unbelievable tone. He didn't know how he survived these seven or eight days, but he still remembered the suffering he endured these days.

 The soldiers following him fell one after another, and those familiar faces all turned into cold corpses in the ruins.

If the order to surrender had been issued earlier, wouldn't those young lives he was familiar with have to die in such a humble way in an unknown corner?

 Looking at Aigole who was drinking water, he suddenly couldn't help but shed tears. Yes, he cried, he cried unbridled, not even willing to hide his embarrassment.

"Woo...wu...ah..." The more he cried, the louder the voice became. At this time, Aigole also put down the kettle, squatted on the ground and became sad.

Unlike the soldiers in front of me, these two are people who have actually seen the cruelty of the battlefield. Many of the soldiers in front of them were just transferred here and had never faced the terrifying Tang army.

 They have never fought, so they cannot understand the despair and helplessness at all. The tense nerves of Kelb and Aigole, who had fled all the way here, soon broke and collapsed after hearing the news of the surrender.

Over the past few days, they have searched for bullets on corpses and stolen food from empty kitchens. Because they are tired, they will just find an unoccupied room to lie down and sleep. They will also flee like frightened birds after hearing the sound of gunfire.

In the process of escaping for their lives, they saw the Tang Army's remote-controlled aircraft hitting and killing friendly troops in the trenches, and they also saw the bodies of officers killed by Tang Army snipers. Similarly, they have also heard the roar of giant artillery shells flying overhead, and felt the frightening tremors of the earth when the shells exploded.

Just take a look at their iron-gray military uniforms that are covered in blood and mud, and you will know how miserable they have been through these past few days.

Now that the war is over and the Yangmu Empire has surrendered unconditionally, how can they not vent their emotions that have been suppressed for so long?

"His Majesty the Emperor has announced unconditional surrender! All soldiers of the Yangmu Empire, please immediately put down their weapons after hearing the order, cooperate with the Tang Empire army, and do not continue to resist! Do not continue to resist!" An armored vehicle with a horn hung on the street Driving by, the sound of the radio echoed in the dull air.

Where the armored vehicles passed by, the elven civilians walked out of the ruins or intact buildings and took to the streets, numbly waiting for the arrival of the new rulers.

They were not kept waiting for too long. The soldiers from the Tang Empire quickly walked over along the road. On both sides of the Dongfeng Warrior jeep, Tang Army soldiers holding assault rifles walked very relaxedly. Once they were victorious, they conquered country after country for His Majesty the Emperor.

The elven soldiers who stopped resisting put down their weapons and stood on the roadside waiting for the arrival of the Tang army soldiers. This scene continued in front of the palace. The most elite guards of the elves piled their weapons in front of a Type 96 main battle tank.

The human soldiers standing on both sides of the tank wore thermal imaging cameras on their heads, tactical vests on their bodies, and packages hung on the front and back. They looked like alien visitors.

A battalion commander of the Tang Army's armored reconnaissance battalion named Xu Qing became the first Tang Empire soldier to enter the Elf Palace after the surrender.

Not far away on the street, facing the Tang soldiers who had collected their guns and put down their weapons, Kelb and Aigole suddenly felt a sense of relief.

They stood on the roadside, in the sunshine, looking at the Tang Army soldiers patrolling the street, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

The soldiers of the Tang Army did not make things difficult for them. They just let them mix with the groups of prisoners and slowly walked to the prisoner of war camp outside the city.

  Kelb and Aigole, whose eyes were red from crying, looked at the unfamiliar city and the soldiers on the street, and their hearts were filled with confusion and uneasiness. They didn't know what was waiting for them, but at least they were alive.

 …

In the back seat of a jeep more than 500 kilometers away, a slender elf general was lying there resting.

An elf officer hurriedly walked to the car with the telegram, lowered his voice, and called cautiously: "Marshal! Marshal Flix! A call from the Imperial Capital... The interference has stopped, we have received a telegram from the Imperial Capital."

Flix opened his eyes, got up tiredly, and took the telegram from the other party's hand. As soon as he read the first line, his eyes widened and he lost sleep instantly: His Majesty the Emperor has surrendered unconditionally and the Imperial Capital has fallen.

He gathered troops and recruited new soldiers along the way, and finally managed to form an army of more than 100,000 people. He was preparing to rush to the Imperial Capital as quickly as possible for reinforcements, but before he even got close to the Imperial Capital, he heard the news of the country's demise.

Marshal Flix looked at the telegram in his hand expressionlessly and was speechless for a long time. He did not doubt the contents of the telegram at all, because he knew very well that the empty imperial capital could not hold on for long, and it would not be surprising for Emperor Yang Mu I to surrender anytime.

 It’s just...he still feels pity. He should be in the Imperial Capital to help His Majesty the Emperor share his worries. He should be in the Imperial Capital and stand the last duty for the Empire.

 He raised his head and looked around. The atmosphere in the tent was oppressive and dull. Several old subordinates who had followed him for many years lowered their heads and said nothing. They were all battle-hardened generals, but at this moment they were as dejected as eggplants beaten by frost.

 It appears that word of the surrender has spread. It's actually quite normal when you think about it. Once Tang Jun stopped electromagnetic interference, radio communication was still very convenient.

Flix took a deep breath. He knew that they had lost this war, completely. From the beginning, they should not have made this choice and sent so many young lives to a losing battle.

 The Tang Empire, the powerful Western Continent Empire, was far more powerful and terrifying than they imagined.

"Everyone." Flix's voice was low and hoarse: "I believe everyone has read the contents of the telegram. It's time to end this farce."

He threw the telegram in his hand on the table, "His Majesty the Emperor has decided to surrender. The other armies of the empire have ceased fire. We must also lay down our weapons."

There was dead silence in the tent, no one spoke, but Flix could feel the despair and sadness filling the air.

"I know, this is hard to accept," Flix's voice was filled with bitterness, as if every word he spoke was a torture for him: "We failed to prevent the demise of the empire. The reality is cruel. We Defeated, defeated by the human emperor. "Marshal." A veteran raised his head, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, "We still have a chance, we can continue to fight, we can..."

"Okay! Stop talking." Flix abruptly interrupted the officer who was not willing to fail: "Stop fooling yourself and others! We have no chance! What if we continue to fight? Follow those The human troops are fleeing south? Don’t be stupid. Continuing to resist will only cause more casualties!”

"And... it's a meaningless casualty." After finishing speaking, he sighed, and all the officers lowered their heads in frustration. The bitterness of failure was indeed difficult to swallow for them.

The crowd surrounding the jeep fell into silence again, and Flix's words were like a heavy hammer, shattering the last hope in their hearts.

“The order is given,” Felix’s voice was tired and feeble, “that all the troops we can find immediately lay down their arms and cease resistance immediately...We surrender.”

 The order was conveyed quickly, and the entire military camp fell into a dead silence. The soldiers silently put down their weapons, and almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The veterans among them all retreated from the vicinity of Rewind Port all the way to Osa, and later retreated here again. They had seen how powerful the Tang army was, and naturally they were unwilling to continue fighting with the Tang army.

As for those elven soldiers with empty eyes, as if they had lost their souls, they were obviously new recruits. They feel that their country is still strong. They were once proud elf warriors, but now they have become defeated and lambs to be slaughtered, so they are somewhat unwilling.

 But they had no choice, because their Emperor had ordered surrender, so they could only hand over their weapons.

These people have not been trained very much. Without the support of the veterans, they may not even be able to walk in the marching queue.

 At the same time, the armies deployed by other countries in the Elf region also received news of the surrender of the Yangmu Empire. This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for them and plunged them into complete despair.

They originally expected to be able to rely on the help of the Yangmu Empire army to resist the attack of the Tang Empire. Now that the Elf troops surrendered, they were alone and completely lost hope.

As guest troops, they now have no material supply support from the elves, and it is also difficult to go home... The biggest problem is that now the Tang army can focus on hunting down these human troops.

Without the constraints of the elven army, the Tang army will definitely leave behind the elves who have stopped resisting and move south at a faster pace.

"Damn! These **** elves!" the general of the Susus Empire roared, tearing the map in his hand to pieces, "They actually surrendered like this! How dare they!"

"General, what should we do now?" an adjutant asked, his voice full of fear, "If we say it to be extreme, we are actually surrounded and our supplies are almost running out. Now..."

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!" The general of the Susus Empire gritted his teeth and said: "We can't stay here and wait to die! Send the order and the whole army retreats south! As much as you can retreat!"

Susas' troops retreated from Ossa all the way here. They were actually exhausted and most of the troops were scattered.

These troops are all elites pieced together by the Susus Empire, and their combat effectiveness is relatively strong. However, due to the lack of communication means and heavy losses of weapons and equipment, their combat effectiveness has almost collapsed. It was impossible to expect them to hold their ground, and it was actually very difficult to ask them to run faster.

 The biggest problem is actually the railway: the Yangmu Empire has surrendered, so the railway lines built by the elves in the Yangmu Empire can no longer be used.

The other party will definitely not cooperate with the Susus Empire's army, and it is impossible to allocate transportation capacity to help Susus' troops move south quickly along the railway.

 So Susas's troops could only rely on themselves and the few cars they had equipped to transport their troops.

 And this is actually not feasible: without gasoline supplies, Susas's troops will soon run out of fuel reserves and then be paralyzed halfway.

Want to leave? That’s okay! Then we have to throw away the car and the artillery towed behind the car, leaving only the light infantry to go south and walk back to the Sussus Empire on their own feet.

As long as you reach the Sussus Empire, everything will be fine: at least once you return to your own country, supplies will be back to normal.

 Similar scenes were staged in the military camps of the Lions Empire and the Dorne Empire. Despair spread among the coalition forces. The once large coalition forces were now reduced to bereft dogs, fleeing in disgrace. And all of this is because of the emperor from the east, the man named Tang Mo.

"Send the cavalry out! They are the only ones who can run faster now." After Susas' general was angry for a while, he finally calmed down.

He still wanted to struggle and was not ready to surrender immediately, so he came up with a good way to at least solve the immediate needs of his troops: "Let the cavalry notify the elven towns and villages along the way! Tell them to prepare gasoline, fuel, and food. Supplies! Otherwise we will be rude to them!”

The best way that the general came up with was actually robbery. If the elven towns along the way could be forced to provide gasoline and food, then their escape south would naturally be faster.

"Sir...if this kind of thing really gets entangled with the local elves' troops, our situation may not be good. What if the Tang army catches up..." an officer lowered his voice and warned.

 The elves surrendered, which meant that the elven land they stepped on now belonged to the Tang Empire. If something really happened and Tang Jun got really angry, it would be hard to deal with.

 “Ahem…” General Susas also realized that if they really offended the Tang army chasing behind them, they might really be in bad luck. So he coughed awkwardly and canceled his order: "Then... let the cavalry inform the elves along the way and tell them that we are just leaving by the way and will not disturb them. Please don't obstruct them."

 “Yes.” His men immediately lowered their heads and went to convey the order.
