THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 221: DIVISION 4 SURRENDERS
Falka did not waste the opportunity, he raised his spear while shouting "Rush! Anyone who still takes up arms will be killed!".
Along with Falka's shout, the other Myro troops shouted loudly as well "Rench, anyone who keeps their weapons up must be killed!".
"You better give up!".
The combined forces brought by Myro now have great pride, however they managed to defeat the 4th division which is considered part of the 5 best divisions of the Kingdom of Azeroth.
Although most of the reasons for their victory were due to unprepared enemies, Falka who made the 4th division messed up first with Herfu, their number was almost 2 times that of the 4th division, which was not the case, as well as Myro who killed the leader of the 4th Division directly.
But victory remained triumphant, they could boast of this problem when returning to their respective homes that they had once been part of the squad that defeated the 4th division.
Under the pressure of desperation and the death of their general, some 4th Division troops began to lower their weapons and raised their hands indicating they had surrendered.
When all the Myro troops thought the war was over, an enemy soldier shouted "Don't be fooled by their words, we are all traitors! No matter what your reason, even if you surrender, you will be put to death because the punishment for the rebellion in the Kingdom of Azeroth is the death penalty! If you are still interested in surviving, take your weapons and escape from here! As long as you're caught, your end is only 1, death!".
The 4th division soldiers came to their senses, as part of the 5 best divisions of Azeroth Kingdom, they had fought rebellions for the kingdom in the past.
Therefore, they saw for themselves the rebels who were put to death. Not just the rebels, all rebel family members were put to death.
Why are the punishments for the rebels so cruel? The reason for the rebellion is a crime that is able to destroy the kingdom, so everyone who rebels must be put to death so that others do not dare to try it too.
Seeing the 4th Division troops begin to hesitate, Myro stepped forward while enduring the pain in his hands from pulling the bowstring too strong "Division 4 Squad, listen to me! All of you are brave soldiers who fought for the kingdom for many years, even though your acts of rebellion were wrong, but I am sure the king will forgive your mistakes. I will try to convince your majesty too! For those of you who believe in what I say, I hope you give up and stop fighting! As an honorable army from the Kingdom of Azeroth, do you not mind being considered a rebel?".
"You may not be a problem, but what about your family? What happens if your son finds out you're a rebel? Surrender, I must have tried my best to have King Azeroth V give you the opportunity once again to turn into honorable warriors".
The 4th Division soldiers became hesitant, after all as Myro said, they had no interest in living with their families as rebels. If the 7th prince in the future won, no problem, they would definitely become the new royal elite force belonging to the 7th prince.
But what if the 7th prince loses? Until death even to their children in the future, all must be made rebels by the kingdom and can not live peacefully anymore.
Except for leaving the Kingdom of Azeroth, there was no way the new king would not hunt them down the rebels.
The one who shouted the earliest found his comrades from the 4th Division who had started to give up, he gritted his teeth before turning around to run away with his other close friend "Based on a fool! The leader of the enemy forces only deceived you, after you were all captured, you must have been killed! When that time comes, you better not regret your decision now".
Seeing some people trying to escape, Myro smiled mockingly "Since when have I allowed you to escape? Falka, Garwein, General Herfu, General Tarka, kill everyone who tries to escape! Those who fled or were still fighting remained considered rebels, not to hesitate in killing them".
At the back, Ren waved his hand, "Shoot those who fled, master has given permission!".
Thousands of archers in the rear shot unhesitatingly, fleeing enemy forces being shot down by a hail of arrows or sword and spear strikes to death.
Among the 4th division, 50,000 of them surrendered.
The war was finished too soon due to Bofer's death, so Myro had many prisoners like this.
For now, the rebels who surrendered will be detained and put in prison while Myro awaits the king's next decision.
Myro sent a letter to the deputy king in Rayde City to give his letter to the king, in the letter Myro recounted everything that happened on the battlefield against the 4th division and 50,000 prisoners.
In addition Myro wrote in his letter that he hoped the king would be able to forgive the 50,000 captured rebels, in exchange Myro did not need any reward for his success in Rayde Province.
Although the king forgave the 4th division, the rebellion must still be punished. If the rebels are not punished, many fools will think of rebelling as well.
So Myro suggested sending these people across the border, they should not leave the border for 10 years. Anyone who dares to flee the border, they will be put to death without any chance of life again.
Myro also explained the reason for doing this was so that people would see King Azeroth V as a good king, not to mention the 4th division already had a lot of services to protect the Kingdom of Azeroth from other royal attacks or rebellions, by forgiving the 4th division that surrendered and then punishing them into border soldiers, many nobles and other officials were definitely more supportive of the king due to his ascension.
Don't forget the 7th prince has great abilities, but a cruel heart.
Therefore, as long as King Azeroth V and the 10th prince showed they were more benevolent which was the weakness of the 7th prince, many of the powers in Azeroth Kingdom would support them due to that kindness.
Tarka knew the letter Myro made, rather Myro let Tarka know it which made Tarka break out in cold sweat.
In Tarka's opinion earlier, the king would definitely not forgive the rebels. But after seeing the letter Myro sent, Tarka was convinced the king chose to let the 4th division that surrendered go to the border and was not put to death.
Why does Tarka think that? The reason is that Myro's letter is really about the king's fatal weakness which is now how to defeat the 7th prince.
If Myro's plan was successful and the king had a lot of support, the king would have been more concerned about Myro helping him as well as the 10th prince.
