"Stop!"

With the shout, the Yan Kingdom army that was rushing towards them gradually stopped.

The people headed by Wolfgang had their hearts pounding and sweat dripping down their cheeks.

What came before them were the iron-blooded lions that had never been defeated since entering the country and were sure to win every battle. With their tyrannical fighting power, they crushed their own army to the ground and in just over two months, they brought the country to the brink of collapse.

And now, just by looking at this army, Wolfgang already felt a heavy pressure like a mountain, which almost made him breathless.

"Since you have surrendered, why don't you come and see me!!!"

At this moment, a loud shout sounded like thunder, and everyone who heard it was startled and trembled.

Wolfgang shook his wrist, then slowly lowered his arm and walked forward with a pale face. The people behind him also followed with heavy steps.

A few hundred meters away, the neatly-lined Yan cavalry moved to the left and right, leaving the middle road.

Soon, Wolfgang stepped in and walked towards the depths of the Yan Army.

As they walked along, the cavalrymen on both sides of the road held guns in their hands, with stern faces. Their gazes were as sharp as knives, making Wolfgang and his companions feel a burning pain on their faces. They didn't even dare to look up, but just lowered their heads, followed the footsteps of the predecessors, and walked forward tremblingly.

The same was true for Wolfgang, the leader. His face was pale, his breathing became increasingly rapid, and it felt like needles were pricking his feet with every step he took. The self-esteem that he once took pride in was gradually disappearing.

It was only a few minutes' journey, but Wolfgang seemed to have aged by dozens of years. His body could no longer remain straight, but was hunched over. When he lowered his eyes and saw the figures in front of him, he realized that he had walked in front of the commander of the Yan people.

So he raised his head with difficulty, and among the crowd of unfamiliar faces, his keen attention stopped on an exceptionally young face.

The man crossed his arms, his face calm, but he had an oppressive aura that made him look intimidating without even getting angry.

"What? Don't want to fight anymore?"

Qin Ze asked indifferently, looking at the Goth in front of him with gray hair, pale face and a distraught look.

This sudden question made Wolfgang's heart jump, and he quickly said, "Yes."

"We...we choose to surrender."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Ze turned his eyes and scanned the faces of the Goths in front of him one by one, and as he patrolled, these Goths all lowered their heads.

Finally, he set his gaze on Wolfgang's face again.

"Are you von Palen?"

"No...no, my name is Albert Wolfgang, the Field Marshal of the Delta Federal Imperial Army. Now, I come to surrender on behalf of the country." Wolfgang replied immediately.

"Where is Feng Palen?" Qin Ze raised his eyebrows slightly.

"He...he is in the Royal Castle, we have already..." Wolfgang was just halfway through his words when Qin Ze interrupted:

"In short, is this your unified statement?"

As soon as Wolfgang finished speaking, Dinger on the side said nervously:

"Please forgive our offense. This war should not have happened between us. Now we are unable to fight anymore. Too many people have died in this war. We are willing to surrender in exchange for an end to the war."

Qin Ze turned to look at Dinger and said indifferently: "When you led the army to invade our country, did you ever think that this day would come?"

Dingle's face turned pale, but he didn't know how to answer.

Qin Ze continued, "After coming to this continent, I feel that this is a good place, with beautiful mountains and rivers, rich resources, and a vast territory. Even if I lead the army to your capital now, I have only traveled half of your border."

"With such a great place, why are you still thinking about conquering overseas?"

Wolfgang replied with trembling lips: "We mistakenly thought..."

Qin Ze said coldly: "No need for too much explanation, I just told you guys to listen."

"You are very ambitious, and there is no need to prove this. Your military strength is not weak, and your will to fight is also very strong. If the country you invaded was not ours, but a weak country, you would probably destroy it in a few years."

"But now they have been beaten to the point of desperation by us and have no choice but to surrender. What do you think?"

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Wolfgang's face and turning pale, but Dinger seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Qin Ze then said to Wolfgang:

"I think you should know that war comes because it is necessary, not because it is desired."

"If you can't win, you can just surrender and the war will end. That's just a game between children. But now the war between you and me has involved tens of millions of people."

"Now you want to surrender?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wolfgang's face froze, and he felt a chill in his face. The faces of the others turned pale in an instant, and the breath of death swept over them. The cold gazes of the Yan soldiers on both sides almost penetrated their bodies.

The next moment, with a "bang", Wolfgang fell to his knees:

"We are willing to surrender unconditionally. No matter what demands you make, we will accept them all."

Following Wolfgang, the others immediately knelt on the ground, each of them looking like they had lost their parents, with fear and strong uneasiness lingering in their hearts. Some even had red eyes and were shaking all over.

Qin Ze still said with a cold expression: "I still have hundreds of thousands of troops on the way to Salivia. If we continue to fight, I believe we can wipe out all your troops within the next two months."

"Our flag will be planted on every piece of land in your Delta Federation. Your so-called unconditional surrender is not important to me at all."

"I can directly occupy your country."

And the words just fell.

"No! Please don't do this! Even if your army is very powerful, there will be casualties as long as the war continues. If we surrender unconditionally now, there will be no more..." Dingle was arguing vigorously.

Qin Ze suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and said coldly:

"So many people have died, so what if there are a few more casualties?"

"It's not worth it! Every soldier has his family behind him. It's not worth it for you to do this. We surrender and we are willing to accept any conditions you want to propose. Isn't this enough for you? No one wants to die on the battlefield, and no one wants to see an ongoing war!" Dingle said anxiously.

Qin Ze raised his eyebrows and asked, "But isn't that what you did?"

"You Golts, haven't you been launching wars one after another, profiting from them, and finally your ambitions have expanded to the point of reaching out to my country?"

"Isn't what I want to do now what you wanted to do but didn't do?"

Dingle's face froze, he opened his mouth, and couldn't find any reason to refute these words.

Waltergang could no longer find any reason to refute. He could only crawl on the ground, reach out his hand, grab Qin Ze's leg and beg:

"We are willing to bear any price, just to end this war and stop innocent people from dying. As the initiators of the war, we have all made unforgivable mistakes, but those civilians are innocent and they can no longer bear the pain brought by the war..."

Qin Ze kicked Wolfgang away and sneered:

"You are full of lies. Without the support of the people, where did you get such an army of millions of people? How come? If you lose the war, those who once supported you will become innocent people?"

"Bullshit! No one is innocent! Who doesn't have blood on their hands?!"

"In our Yan Country, this is what we call war and destruction."

As soon as these words came out, Wolfgang fell into complete despair. He lay on the ground, trembling constantly, while Dinger pleaded with his face:

"You have already defeated us. We are willing to surrender and will never go to war with your country again. We will also make amends for this mistake. But if you continue to wage war against us, isn't it just like you said, those who love war will perish?!"

After the words fell, Qin Ze turned his head and looked at Ding Geer. After examining him for more than ten seconds, Qin Ze slowly said:

"You all know how powerful my army is, so no matter when or where, no matter what war we fight, we will never lose and will be the final winner."

Dingle shook his head: "Before we offended your country, we also thought we could overcome everything."

"But now...you have seen it...we have paid an unbearable price. This is the final result of the war for us..." Dinggel said in despair.

Hearing this, Qin Ze folded his arms and seemed to be lost in thought. Then, he said:

"It seems to make some sense..."

"You seem to...really realize your mistakes, want to make amends, and make changes?"

"Yes! Yes!" Dingle nodded hurriedly.

Qin Ze shook his head: "I don't believe it."

Dinger froze, and just as he was about to speak, Qin Ze continued, “But I am a kind person, and I can give you a chance to surrender.”

As soon as these words came out, Dingle and the others couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Qin Ze said: "I have no idea whether you will change or not. If I let you go, maybe you will lead your army to retaliate against my country again after a while. This is entirely possible. I have to make a worst-case assumption."

"Of course, it is also possible that you are afraid of war and want to embrace peace, just as you are saying now."

"Did you really realize your mistake, or were you forced into this situation? I have to ask God, or rather, ask the gods you believe in."

After the words fell, everyone was stunned. Wolfgang, who was lying on the ground, raised his head and looked at Qin Ze in confusion.

"Who has a coin? Give me one." Qin Ze asked.

Immediately afterwards, an official who was kneeling on the ground took out a coin from his pocket tremblingly. Yan Bing, who was standing beside him, took it from his hand and handed it to Qin Ze.

At this time, Dingle said with a look of panic:

"Do you want to decide the survival of our country by flipping a coin?"

Qin Ze nodded slightly and replied solemnly: "Yes, this is the opportunity for you."

Dinger shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "No! How can you treat the survival of a country as..."

Qin Ze interrupted with a cold face: "These are all choices you made."

As he spoke, Qin Ze had already tossed the coin. In the blink of an eye, the coin fell into the back of his left palm and was instantly covered by his right hand.

"This coin has a flower on one side and an eagle on the other."

"I'll look at the front, and you choose one of the patterns. If you hit the mark, I'll accept your surrender and end this war. I'll also withdraw from your country and won't leave a single soldier behind."

"But if the pattern you choose is wrong, then regardless of whether you surrender or not, I will continue to send troops to kill all the rebels until I completely occupy this continent."

"How's that? I even gave you a better deal. That's fair enough."

But when these words fell, everyone's breathing seemed to stagnate. Everyone present stared at Qin Ze with wide eyes, as if they couldn't believe what he said. Fear spread in everyone's heart like a plague.

Qin Ze's eyes swept across their faces one by one, and then said:

"Come and represent your country and make your choice."

Dingle said in a trembling voice: "You...you really want to do this..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Ze suddenly shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! Who will choose? What will you choose? Say it now!"

"Make your choice! Choose your destiny!"

Dinger was shaking non-stop as he roared. Not only him, but all the Goths were trembling with their teeth. The intense fear even made their faces distorted.

At this time, Wolfgang said in a rapid breath: "I...I...I will...I will choose..."

But Dinger grabbed Wolfgang's cold hand and said breathlessly: "Let me do it, father..."

Wolfgang was about to speak, but Qin Ze shouted angrily: "Don't waste time!"

"Blue Hibiscus!" Dingle shouted through gritted teeth.

Qin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, took a few steps back, and said, "That is the side with the flowers."

"Yes... yes..." Dinger's hands and feet were cold, and he didn't dare to blink, staring at Qin Ze's clasped hands.

"Have you prayed to the gods you believe in?" Qin Ze suddenly asked.

"Blue Hibiscus is the representative of the goddess Saint Marin. She represents peace and happiness... She will protect us..." Dingle said tremblingly with a twisted smile on his face.

The others were all lying on the ground in fear, closing their eyes, murmuring and praying to the Goddess Saint Marin. Suppressed sobs could be heard among the crowd.

Qin Ze's face was solemn: "Really? Then let's see if this Saint Marin, whom you believe in, will protect you."

And the next moment, he shouted:

"Hold your guns! Aim at them! If I say shoot, then shoot. Once we enter Salivia, quickly occupy the entire city! If there are any resistance, kill them all!"

"Yes!!" the Yan soldiers shouted loudly, and immediately, hundreds of guns were aimed at Wolfgang and his group who came to surrender.

Qin Ze took a few steps back and distanced himself from the Golts. He raised his hands high and looked indifferently at Dinger, whose face was completely distorted by fear. He said:

"Listen to me carefully."

"Your fate depends on the choices you make."

As he finished speaking, he took away his right hand and slowly lowered the back of his left hand, allowing the coin pattern on it to completely fall into the sight of the Goth kneeling on the ground.

The last ray of light from the setting sun is about to dissipate, and in this dim afterglow.

On the coin facing upwards, an eagle has its wings spread, its claws bent in a grasping position, and its beak, which is open upwards, is as sharp as a knife, revealing its ferocity and hideousness.

It is the symbol of the Delta Federation——【Empire Eagle】
