At the moment when the central government has surrendered, they can't even guarantee the supply of their troops.

There are currently 70,000 people stationed in Orleans.

How much food is consumed every day.

When all the food in the city is eaten up now, where will they go to find food?

The only way is to grab the food of civilians in the surrounding areas.

The army that defends the country, but ends up robbing the food of domestic civilians - this is really ironic.

Most of the generals and officials present would not allow such irony to happen.

No matter how you look at it, the situation they are facing is dead...

A dead end without any hope...

...

...

"Let's surrender..."

A general said in a low, unanimous voice.

"The war... is over..."

"Even Tuli has already put the flag of the Britannian Empire... If you continue to fight, there is no point..."

"Now surrender, we can save the lives of some defenders in the city as much as possible..."

If it were the ones who said this before, the general would definitely be criticized by everyone.

And now, after the general finished speaking, no one spoke.

No one immediately jumped out to refute what the general said just now.

At the moment when we can no longer see the meaning of continuing to fight, we no longer have the fighting spirit to continue to fight...

...

...

"No……"

At this moment, an old voice rang out from a corner of the long table.

Everyone present looked in the sound.

"We... still have hope..." the veteran continued.

This veteran is Leo.

At the moment when Deni had already died in battle, the only "three veterans of the Rolling Empire" are left with Barr and Leo.

"Although His Majesty has issued a surrender edict to surrender unconditionally to the Britannian Empire."

"But I believe—there are certainly many people across the country who are unwilling to be Britannians."

"These people who still have the ambition to resist are our hope for restoration."

"We need to send people with appeal out of the city and gather all the resistance forces in the country."

"As long as all the resistance forces in the country are successfully gathered, the country still has hope of revival."

"So--we must send the 'Holy Maiden' out of Orleans safely!"

"As long as the 'Holy Maiden' is here, there will be a large number of patriots who are unwilling to surrender to the Britannian Empire!"

"Not only should I send the 'saint' out of the city safely, but also Barr also!"

"With the appeal of the 'saint' and Barr's military capabilities, we can rebuild an army like steel in a very short time..."

Before Leo could finish his words, Jill slammed the table and stood up.

"Enough!"

"His Majesty the Emperor has issued a surrender edict!"

"The war is over!"

"Don't fight again!"

"His Excellency Leo, your plan just now sounds good, but what are the chances of success?"

"We have no hope of winning!"

"Until this time, will you continue to force Na to take risks?!"

Jill is one of the many generals who have lost their fighting spirit in the fight.

Jill, who had no motivation to continue to build up, became angry after hearing the plan that Leo had just proposed. He couldn't help but slamming the table and getting up, hitting the old senior he had always respected.

Leo was not angry at Jill's impolite refutation just now.

Instead, he said in a calm tone:

"Gil...Do you have the heart to just watch the flags of the Lebaniya Empire inserted into our country...?"

"Um..." Jill stammered.

He wanted to refute Leo's words just now.

But I was unable to spit out a word for a long time.

"You don't want to just watch our country perish? Don't you?"

"As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, we must fight for the future of the country until the last moment - isn't this our obligation as a soldier? Am I right? Bar?"

Leo turned his eyes to Barr who had been silent since the beginning.

"…Hmm." There was no expression on Barr's face, "You are right..."

"Hisser Leo..." Jill cast a complicated look at Leo, "Then how do you plan to send Jeanna and Bar out of the city? Although the Britannian army did not surround this city, they were monitoring it all the time."

"How do you plan to send people safely out of Orleans under the surveillance of the Britannian army?"

As soon as Jill finished speaking, Leo immediately replied:

“It’s very simple too.”

A faint smile appeared on Leo's face.

"Just send bait to attract the attention of the Britannian army..."

...

...

"Orleans surrendered! Orleans surrendered!"

"Long live! Long live!"

"Orleans avatar!"

...

Serve in the Britannian army camp in northern Orleans, similar cheers can be heard everywhere at this time.

Just now, an envoy from Orleans came to the Britannian army camp in a daze.

I explained his purpose of his trip to Su Cheng--all the defenders of Orleans decided to surrender, and asked the generals of the Britannian army to come tomorrow morning to receive the surrendered soldiers, and asked Su Cheng to treat all the surrendered soldiers and the city people in Orleans well.

Su Cheng naturally agreed to this request without hesitation.

After all - he wasn't going to do anything to Orleans.

Even if the envoy did not add the request "Please treat Orleans surrendered soldiers and city residents well", Su Cheng would not commit any atrocities against Orleans surrendered soldiers and city residents.

There is no need to hide such good news. Under Su Cheng's instruction, the news of "Orleans surrendered" spread throughout the army at an extremely fast speed.

Originally, the entire army was ready to suffer a lot before taking Orleans.

In the end, he took Orleans without an arrow.

It feels like "I saved my life myself", so the morale of the generals of the entire army has been unprecedentedly high.

Their cheers even reached Orleans.

...

...

The next morning, Su Cheng personally led a large army to line up in the northern wilderness of Orleans, preparing to accept Orleans surrendered troops.

The north gate of Orleans is wide open.

The first person who left the city along the wide open north gate was an old man who was not wearing armor and carrying any weapons.

The old man was wearing ordinary clothes and stood in a convertible car specially used for loading.

Under the control of the coachman, the old man drove towards the Britannian army formation in front.

Behind the old man were a group of Orleans "former defenders" who were no longer wearing any armor and holding any weapons.

The soldiers had different expressions on their faces.

Some are dejected.

Some have no expression on their faces.

Some sobbed secretly.
