Chapter 1051: Citizens Evacuate

After hearing Bancro's words, Gale's face showed hesitation again.

How important the national capital is - Gale naturally knows this kind of thing better than anyone else.

If possible, Gale did not want to just give up Pendragon, the capital of their Britannia Empire.

But the reality before him was quite cruel - judging from the current remaining garrison strength of DìDū, it was simply impossible to defend Pendragon.

But... Gale actually still retains some luck in his heart...

Listening to the shouts and shouts of the war factions headed by Bancro and the withdrawal factions headed by Alfred and Aphra at the bottom of the steps, Gale's head started to pound again. It hurt.

Gale closed his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his left temple.

After thinking for a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Okay then." Gale said to Bancro, "Bancro, I'll give you another 10 days."

The lingering sense of luck in Gale's heart told Gale: Maybe there is still a chance to defend Pendragon.

As soon as Gale said these words, Bancro's face was immediately filled with joy, and then he quickly lowered his head and thanked Gale.

As for Alfred, Aphra and others, they were furious.

"Your Highness!" Alfred shouted to Gale, "This..."

However, before he finished speaking, Gale raised his hand and stopped Alfred with a gesture.

"Stop talking." Gale said sternly, "I have made up my mind to give Bancro and the others another chance."

After saying that, Gale turned his head and looked at Bancro again.

"Bancro, this is the last chance I can give you."

"If after 10 days, you still have not been able to formulate a tactic that can defend Pendragon, then you must not complain or obstruct Pendragon's abandonment."

"Follow your orders!" Bancro said loudly, "I promise to Your Highness that if we fail to formulate a strategy to defend Pendragon after 10 days,

Then we will no longer have any complaints or obstructions about Pendragon giving up! "

Having said this, Bancroft paused for a moment, and then said loudly again:

"Your Highness, please grant me one more request!"

"explain."

"In the next 10 days, please allow me not to come to Baiyang Palace again!"

"I plan to focus all my energy in the next 10 days on formulating tactics to defend the city!"

As soon as Bancro finished speaking, Gale nodded:

"Yes, yes. I approve."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Upon seeing this, the evacuationists headed by Alfred and Aphra gritted their teeth out of unwillingness and resentment.

However, Gale has personally said that he will give Bancroft and the others another chance, so Alfred and the others can't say anything more about it...

…

…

"well……"

Bancro, who was sitting in his carriage, let out a long sigh full of exhaustion.

Due to fatigue, Bancro's body, which was slumped in the car seat, looked limp, as if he had no bones at all.

"Sir," the coachman who was driving the carriage said to Bancro in the carriage, "you seem to be more tired than ever."

"Well, yes." Bancro smiled bitterly, "I'm really tired today..."

It was naturally impossible for Bancroft to discuss today's state affairs with his coachman, so Bancroft stopped talking and stopped talking after that.

The coachman, who had followed Bancro for many years, was also very self-aware and knew that he should not ask further questions about such matters, so he obediently shut his mouth at this time and did not ask Bancro about what happened to him today.

Bancro opened the curtains hanging above the car window and looked out of the car window.

Looking at the increasingly sparse flow of people on the road outside the car window, Bancro couldn't help but murmured:

"After living here in Pendragon for decades, this is the first time I have seen the streets of Pendragon so empty..."

After the news that "Allen launched a mutiny and led the rebels to attack Pendragon" reached Pendragon, Pendragon citizens who were afraid of the military disaster began to flee DìDū in large numbers.

The central government of the Britannia Empire did not stop the citizens who escaped from DìDū.

Because whether we want to stick to Pendragon or give up Pendragon, it is not suitable for a large number of citizens to live here.

Therefore, the central government of the Britannia Empire not only did not prevent the citizens from escaping Pendragon, but also sent a large number of personnel to assist the citizens in evacuating.

Every day, a large number of citizens fled Pendragon with their families and families, either to nearby surrounding cities or directly back to their hometowns.

Bancro today specifically asked the mayor of Pendragon and asked him: How many people are there in Pendragon now?

According to statistics from Mayor Pendragon - as of today, Pendragon, which originally had a population of more than 1 million, has only over 400,000 people left.

There were more than 1 million people, and now there are only just over 400,000 left - that is to say, most of the population has escaped from Pendragon.

Pendragon, which had lost most of its population, was now quite empty and quiet.

It is now approaching dusk, and at this time in the past, the street that Bancro used to walk would have been quite crowded.

But in recent days, this street has been quite empty. Looking out the window, there are not many pedestrians on the street.

After Bancro's emotion came to an end, the coachman answered in a half-joking tone:

"But the streets have become emptier, which is also good. Now when you drive a carriage on the streets, you won't be stuck in the flow of people or vehicles."

After hearing the coachman's joke, Bancro raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chuckled a few times:

"Yes, but - I still prefer Pendragon to change back to his former self."

…

…

"Your Excellency! Your Excellency!"

The coachman's voice woke up Bancro who was taking a nap in the car.

"Your Excellency! We are already home!"

"Oh...we're home..." Bancro rubbed his sleepy eyes, then followed the door opened by the driver and stepped out of the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Bancro walked non-stop towards his mansion.

After entering his own mansion, he walked non-stop to the study room of the mansion.

After pushing open the door to the study, Bancro saw several military staff officers busy in the study.

Since all the military staff were summoned to this study and they decided to formulate defense tactics in this study, Bancro's study has completely changed.

Papers, books, maps filled with various words... all kinds of things are piled up everywhere in the study.

There are several more long tables in the study, each with different maps on them, and the military staff mainly work around these maps placed on the long tables.
