Chapter 775 Oolong Incident

Raphael put on his armor, tied the knight's sword around his waist, took the helmet from his bodyguard, and strode towards the military camp.

In the empty military camp, more than a thousand soldiers lined up in neat rows, looking straight ahead.

A light sound of footsteps was heard, and the officers put away their lazy looks, their faces became serious, they straightened their bodies and stood at the front of the queue.

Raphael entered the military camp, glanced at everyone, and quickly figured out the number of troops, a total of 1,326.

He was very surprised that so many people would stay after being left alone for three days.

"Set off!"

Raphael shouted out orders in a low voice, and his voice echoed throughout the entire barracks.

More than a thousand soldiers immediately took action, divided into teams of four, and silently followed the general defending the city in uniform steps, marching towards the west gate, ready to surrender.

The quiet street was empty, with only a few rats running by in a hurry, making it seem particularly deserted.

This once prosperous, bustling and vibrant city has now lost its former hustle and bustle and vitality.

In Haina City, which had a population of nearly 300,000, there are now only tens of thousands of civilians who are reluctant to leave their homeland, awaiting an unknown fate.

At the foot of the city wall, Raphael stood in front of the heavy city gate. He stretched out his hands, placed them on the cold iron ring, and pushed hard. The huge iron gate slowly opened.

With the heavy friction sound of the door hinges, Raphael opened the door alone, and what appeared before him was an empty suburb.

Behind him, the city defending troops watched their general's actions silently.

The city gates were wide open, and the sunlight shone on the armor, making it sparkle.

Suddenly, the ground shook.

Raphael looked up at the distance and saw dust and smoke rising. The enemy's vanguard reconnaissance troops had arrived.

"Out of town."

After giving the order, Raphael was the first to walk out of the city gate and stood a hundred meters away from the city wall. He reached out and grabbed a spear, hung a white flag on it, and then inserted it in the middle of the road.

The white flag fluttered in the wind, symbolizing surrender and submission. However, the soldiers guarding the city looked at the flag without any humiliation on their faces, their eyes were calm, and there was no ripple in their hearts.

The governor abandoned them, and they abandoned the governor in return. No one owed anyone anything.

"stop!"

Upon hearing the captain's order, more than a hundred knights tightened their reins and stopped their mounts.

The Knight of Five Seals looked at the white flag in the distance, and after careful consideration, he decided to report it.

"Ryan."

"team leader."

"Take your team to report this to General Feirui."

"Yes."

A team of knights left, and the remaining eighty-odd beast knights waited on the spot, facing the more than a thousand defenders in front of the city gate.

Raphael was well aware of the strange behavior of the knights. He waved his hand to signal his subordinates to sit down and rest, and then lay directly on the ground, waiting for the other side to surrender.

At this moment, the leading silver high-ranking knight looked at the other party's actions and was very confused, but he did not dare to let his guard down, lest this was a trick of the enemy to lure them closer.

After a while, more than 2,000 beast riders of the Black Rock Army arrived outside the city of Haina.

Fei Rui arrived at the front and saw the gates of Haina City open. More than a thousand defenders were sitting outside the city openly basking in the sun. This scene was very confusing.

"Have we sent anyone to contact them?" Fei Rui waved his hand to the Five Seals Knight who was leading the team and asked.

The Knight of the Five Seals bowed and saluted, and replied respectfully: "In reply to the general's words, I guess this is a trap set by the enemy to lure our army into the city, so I did not send anyone to contact them."

"You have a point. It's hard not to arouse suspicion for a city with only a thousand soldiers."

Fei Rui touched his chin and immediately sent someone to notify the follow-up troops to speed up.

When the main force of the Black Rock Army arrived, no matter what conspiracies and tricks Ren Haina City had, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

In the afternoon, more than 43,000 Black Rock Army soldiers arrived outside the city of Haina.

"Minard, go up and confiscate their weapons."

"Yes, General."

The deputy general of the Black Rock Army responded loudly and led more than 6,000 men under his command to approach the city wall.

Seeing the other party's action, Rafael stood up, took off his helmet, threw it aside, and raised his hands above his head to show that he was harmless.

The rest of the soldiers and officers defending the city followed suit, taking off their swords, throwing away their weapons, taking off their helmets, and raising their hands above their heads to show their determination to surrender.

Half believing and half doubting, Minard sent a squadron of troops to collect weapons, and the remaining 5,000 people were on high alert, ready to kill anyone who dared to make any unusual moves.

Half an hour later, looking at the more than a thousand harmless surrendered people, Minard still did not let down his guard.

"The 3rd Battalion of the 9th Battalion has entered the city."

"Yes, General."

A middle-aged officer looked at the quiet streets in the city, swallowed his saliva, turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "Enter the city."

Under the leadership of an officer, more than 500 soldiers from the 3rd Battalion of the 9th Battalion of the Black Rock Army carefully passed through the city gate and began to search for ambushes in the city.

After a long time, after receiving the news that the city was safe, Minard ordered his subordinates to bring up the general who had surrendered voluntarily.

"I ask, you answer."

"Excuse me." Raphael said very straightforwardly.

After learning about the situation, Minard finally understood the whole story, but at the same time he felt ashamed for making a fuss out of nothing.

However, as the deputy commander of the Black Rock Army, he had already developed a thick skin. He waved his hand to find an officer and said calmly, "Take them away and place them properly."

"Yes, General."

After the blunder, the Black Rock Army's commander, Fei Rui, said calmly, "Pass the order, the army enters the city."

"Yes."

……

Inside the central camp of the 15th Army, Weilin burst into laughter after listening to Kyle's story.

"I didn't expect this to happen. I really want to know what General Fei Rui was thinking at the time."

Hearing his master's words, Kyle smiled helplessly.

After laughing, Weilin put away the smile on his face and said, "The general named Raphael is very interesting. He dares to think and act. However, his behavior is unorthodox and not worth promoting."

"Incorporate him and his men into the Haina Army and place them directly under the command of Devonshire."

"Also, put him on the Halo list and send someone to contact him to test his opinion."

"Yes, my lord."

The Halo Project was a plan proposed by Weilin two months ago, which aims to integrate the outstanding officers and excellent soldiers from the six vassal armies.

After the expedition war is over, he will eventually return to his own world.

Although the Metagea plane is now one of the many subsidiary worlds of the Ilaria world, the native creatures in the plane world are not recognized by the Ilaria world consciousness, which means they cannot go to the main world, but there are exceptions.

One type is special existence, such as Seraphina, who is very special in herself, and by signing a contract with legendary creatures such as Kayle, she can gain the recognition of the world consciousness of Ilaria and be regarded as a creature of the main world.

The other category is the legendary strong ones. As long as they are willing to leave the mark of the world of Ilaria on their souls, they are the creatures of the main world and have a higher degree of belonging than the previous category.
