The First Tyrant of Daxia

In the Puges Mountain Forest, Chen Qingzhi led a large group of people through the forest.

In the Puges Mountains, there is a city called Hanos Castle. The owner of the castle is a duke who has an army of 50,000 under his command. It is a fairly large castle with considerable power.

The British region is vast and sparsely populated, and a duke having an army of 50,000 is already considered very powerful.

The geographical location of Hanos Castle is quite special, being located right between Qin Yun and the Allied Forces of the Five Western Nations, making it a strategic location.

It can be said that whoever captures Hanos Castle first will have the initiative.

Due to the importance of Hanos Castle, Chen Qianzhi led a force of as many as 100,000 troops this time.

Moreover, it was Chen Qianzhi who personally led the troops to attack, which was enough to show how much importance Qin Yun attached to Hanos Castle.

Chen Qianzhi led his troops through the woods, and soon the view in front of them became wider.

There is a cliff in front, and Hanos Castle is built on the cliff.

The cliff was extremely steep, with strong winds constantly blowing up from below, so that even birds couldn't fly over.

For this reason, Hanos Castle has always been called the City on the Cliff. There is no other way to break through the defense of Hanos Castle except to attack from the front.

Near Hanos Castle is the center line between Qin Yun and the coalition forces of the five western nations.

If they occupied Hanos Castle, every move of the coalition forces of the five western countries would be seen through by Qin Yun, and it would be very difficult for them to break into Qin Yun's territory.

If you leave Hanos Castle alone, you will be attacked from both sides, but it will take a lot of effort to attack Hanos Castle.

That was enough time for Qin Yun to discover and react.

This shows the importance of Hanos Castle.

Chen Qianzhi led his soldiers to surround the Hanos Castle, and soon vigilant whistles were sounded inside the Hanos Castle.

Countless archers stood on the city walls, pulling their longbows to their full length and aiming sharp arrows at Chen Qianzhi's army in front of the castle.

A man in gorgeous clothes, with a beard and brown hair, walked up to the top of the city wall, his eyes sharp and deep.

He is the owner of Hanos Castle, Duke of Polk.

"Which army is under the castle?" Duke Polk shouted coldly.

Chen Qingzhi stood on his horse with his spear in hand. His white robe was quite eye-catching among the army and he looked very heroic.

"I am Chen Qingzhi, a general under the command of Qin Yun, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty!"

Chen Qingzhi shouted, "Lord of Hanos Castle, now that the British Empire has perished, I am here to persuade you to surrender and join my lord's army!"

Duke Polk looked at Chen Qingzhi with indifference.

Chen Qingzhi said: "Read the letter of surrender!"

"Yes!"

The translator soldier beside him quickly took out the letter of surrender and read: "I am Qin Yun, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. The British Empire has perished..."

Halfway through the recitation, Duke Polk on the top of the city wall shouted, "Okay, stop reading. Your letter of surrender has already been circulated throughout the castle. I already know about it."

Chen Qingzhi shouted, "Since you already know, you should know that the might of Daxia is irresistible. If you don't surrender today, you won't be treated so well when the city is captured in the future."

The Duke of Polk's eyes on the city wall changed as the sky above the cliff became gloomy.

Finally, Duke Polk made a decision: "Open the city!"

Chen Qingzhi's face lit up: "Duke Polk, joining Daxia will be the most correct decision you have ever made in your life. Hanos Castle will gain new honors because of your actions."

The gate of Hanos Castle slowly opened, and with the sound of heavy door opening, the situation inside Hanos Castle was clearly visible.

The troops inside had retreated and laid down their weapons.

There was not a single civilian on the streets; everyone was hiding in their homes.

Duke Polk stood in the middle of the street and saluted Chen Qingzhi: "Sir Chen Qingzhi, Hanos Castle is willing to surrender. Please enter the city and surrender."

Chen Qingzhi had some concerns in his heart.

Before going to Hanos Castle, Chen Qianzhi naturally inquired about the Duke of Polk.

It is said that the Duke of Polk was a good friend of Henry VII when he was young, and he was also very loyal to the British royal family.

Originally, Chen Qianzhi thought that it would take a tough battle to make these Dukes of Polk surrender, but he didn't expect that he would choose to surrender directly.

However, Duke Polk had already retreated his troops and laid down his weapons, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

If Chen Qianzhi did not go in at this time, he would appear to be very cowardly.

"Enter the city!"

Chen Qianzhi waved his hand and led his army towards Hanos Castle.

Duke Polk greeted him inside.

Watching Chen Qingzhi approaching the castle step by step, a subtle viciousness flashed in Duke Polk's eyes.

Chen Qingzhi was the first to enter the castle: "Duke Polk, I can guarantee that you will be proud of your wise decisions in the future."

"Of course." Duke Polk smiled gentlemanly.

At this time, Chen Qianzhi's army had already entered halfway.

The Duke of Polk, who was smiling, suddenly changed his expression and shouted fiercely, "Do it!"

Suddenly, countless knife-wielding warriors rushed out from the houses on the street, and countless soldiers rushed out from behind the gates one after another.

Chen Qingzhi's pupils shrank and his expression changed drastically.

"Duke Polk, you are pretending to surrender!"

Duke Polk sneered, "Chen Qingzhi, your Great Xia Emperor killed my good friend, the good King Henry VII. I must avenge this vengeance, so I'll start with you!"

While they were speaking, the soldiers of Hanos Castle had already closed the city gates. The 100,000-strong army was divided into two halves, and Chen Qianzhi, who had entered the city, had become a turtle in a jar.

"Well done, Duke Polk!"

A somewhat hoarse voice sounded, and a thin middle-aged man in fancy clothes walked out of the house. He had deep eye sockets and a hooked nose, and looked very sinister.

"Chen Qingzhi, you may not know me. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Delta, the prince of the Macedonian Empire."

"The Macedonian Empire? The Western Allied Forces have long been eyeing the Hanos Castle, right?" Chen Qingzhi's face was gloomy, "Duke Polk, you are lying to me!"

Delta laughed and said, "Qin Yun is not the only smart person!"

"Qin Yun killed King Henry VII and massacred nobles in the royal city. Almost all castles that refused to surrender were slaughtered wherever he passed. Such a tyrant deserves to be killed by everyone. Duke Polk just chose the side of justice."

Duke Polk's eyes were grim: "Qin Yun and I are sworn enemies, and Hanos Castle will never surrender to Qin Yun!"

Chen Qingzhi raised his head, and even though he was in crisis, he remained calm and thought quickly about countermeasures.

Outside the city gate, there were sounds of siege.

"Go! Don't waste time!"

Delta waved his hand and countless soldiers rushed forward.
