Chapter 308

Since the siege of Sent began, the city has organized three counterattacks. As the previous troops were exhausted, most of the troops that went out of the city were so-called "armed citizens". The combat effectiveness of these guys was even worse than that of the men pulled from the countryside. The Alda army fired a row of guns from a distance, and the morale of the opponents was reduced to nothing before a few people died, and then they ran back to the city in a hurry.

On the 29th, the excavation of the tunnel entered the final stage, and soon the Alda army would be able to approach the base of the city wall and set off a big firecracker.

Paul chose a good place and asked the guards to build a shed, ready to enjoy the gorgeous scene after the explosion of the [big firecracker].

"Hehe, brother Paul, your thing is really good. Can you give one to me, your brother, for some money?"

Henry Ferdinand sat next to Paul, fiddling with a telescope, holding it up to look in the direction of Sent, and wiping the lens from time to time.

"Take it, it's for you."

The relationship between the two has improved a lot since they agreed on the succession of the duke's title. How could Henry miss such a big event as the attack on Cent? He ran over to join the homecoming group.

That afternoon, a big white flag was raised on the city wall. After asking Paul for instructions, the Alda army stopped the bombardment. Soon the city gate opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and a team of people came out holding a smaller white flag.

After a strict body search, they were quickly brought to Paul and Schroeder.

The team was made up of all kinds of people, including government officials, generals of the garrison, clergy and wealthy businessmen. Paul still had an impression of some of them, as he had seen them at the birthday party of old Duke Ferdinand.

A grey-bearded government official said in a serious tone: "Count Graman, Viscount Ferdinand, we now formally surrender to you on behalf of all the residents of Cent City."

Paul asked a little strangely: "Aren't you representing Martz Kent?"

The government official shook his head and said: "Duke Martz Kent Ferdinand...that is, the usurper you mentioned, has...already died yesterday..."

Paul and Henry stood up from their chairs in surprise, "Martz is dead?"

"Yes, Lord Martz accidentally fell around 7 to 8 last night, and was stabbed in the chest by the candlestick on the table...severely injured and died."

After hearing this, everyone present took off their hats and covered their chests to express their condolences. Although they were enemies who fought fiercely on the battlefield, Martz was a senior noble after all. Paul had to do the same, unless he wanted to be known as an rude person.

After the moment of silence, Paul put on his hat again and told Schroeder beside him: "Let the chief of staff arrange how to enter the city."

Schroeder quickly made arrangements. The second battalion led a group of militiamen into the city first, occupied and inspected each street corner, and other troops entered the city in turn.

Paul postponed the entry of the follow-up troops to the next day, "Let the soldiers clean themselves up and get ready, have a good night's rest, and enter the city with the best spirit, form a square formation, and march into the city the next day."

He wanted to show the residents of the largest city in the northwest bay a unique army, and also show his strength to Henry next to him, who didn't catch up with any tough battles after he came.

On August 30, 1991 of the Holy Calendar, the entry ceremony began, and the residents of Cent City looked at this strange army with curiosity and worry.

Although the uniforms of the Arda army were still the light green "Tubalu", the color and style were unified after all, which was much more beautiful than the colorful ones in other lords' armies. With the strong rhythm of the marching drums and the soldiers' uniform steps, the whole army exuded a majestic and powerful sense of power.

Every resident of Cent City who watched the entry ceremony had a feeling from the bottom of his heart: it was natural for such an army to defeat Maltz Kent, and some people even cheered involuntarily.

Paul and Henry rode on tall horses behind the second battalion, looking proudly at both sides of the street.

Henry, in particular, was proud and sighed: "I finally saw this familiar neighborhood again. Thinking of the scene of being taken to the dungeon that day, it seems like the day before."

Paul accompanied Henry to the cemetery of the Ferdinand family, stood in front of the tomb of the old Duke Ferdinand to mourn for a while, and the gravekeeper led them to the church in the cemetery, where two coffins were placed.

"These are the bodies of Maltz Kent and Jais Kent. How do you two deal with them?"

Paul looked at Henry and motioned him to make the decision. After all, his brother died in an unclear manner, and the Kent family was highly suspected.

Henry hesitated for a while and said, "The person is already dead. Let's bury him according to the standards of civilians for the time being."

The gravekeeper obeyed the order and called a few people to carry the coffin. One of them muttered, "It seems to be a lot lighter..."

Henry called Paul, "Come on, accompany me to the dungeon to see. Maltz's distant relatives are imprisoned there, and it is said that there are also several mercenary leaders."

Emerson, Fergus and others were all imprisoned. They were waiting for the winner's verdict in the dungeon.

Henry did not go to see them as soon as he came in, but came to the deepest part of the dungeon, pointed to the big hole in the wall and said, "I ran out from here at the time. It seems that Maltz has been found."

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

This cell was full of broken bricks, stones and soil. It seemed that Martz Kent had sent people to dig deep into the ground.

It seemed that every lord family would prepare one or two escape tunnels to deal with emergencies. There was one in Bido Castle and one in this duke's mansion.

Paul touched his chin and wondered if he should also dig a few tunnels under the castle in Lake Heart Town. He couldn't fall behind the trend.

…

The news of the surrender of Sent City quickly spread throughout the Northwest Bay.

The other lords in the coalition had captured Bido Castle and continued to move eastward before Sent surrendered. After receiving the news, they immediately increased their speed, but there was no force trying to resist them on the road. They arrived in Sent on September 4.

Among the many territories that were originally attached to Martz Kent, his hometown of Emden was the last to surrender to the coalition forces. The commander of Byron Castle, the former knight of the Kent family, raised the white flag after receiving the news of the death of his loyalists and surrendered to the first and third battalions of infantry besieging the castle.

Bryce and Joyce commanded the army to continue southward and occupied all the territories of the Kent family.

The usurper war in the Northwest Bay, which lasted for more than half a year, finally came to an end.
