Chapter 235 Surrender

Rogge thought it was his turn. He was not calm, but still a little unwilling.

But he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was not the gallows, but the personal interview of Duke Leopold.

The dim dungeon wiped out his pride.

Facing death, he did not struggle. This was the last stubbornness.

Until he was stuffed into the carriage and met Derek.

The strict guards around and the large number of fully armed knights clearly showed how strict the arrangement here was.

His anklets were removed, and he could feel the murderous aura when his eyes met with the knights around him.

Some knights even put their hands on the hilts of their swords. As long as they moved a little, they would die.

With such a posture, he guessed who he was going to meet early.

However, he would not have any idea of ​​assassination. He was still a little proud of this.

The knight in charge of the protection task reminded him: "Be honest, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

"Don't worry, I have never forgotten the pride of the knight." Rogge responded.

The knight stared at him intently, and the two looked at each other. Roger's eyes showed no trace of guilt.

Until he saw Derek, Roger's back was straight.

He just lost the war, but he never lost his pride.

He never lost the honor of the knight.

Being in the prisoner's dilemma could not change his thoughts.

Derek did not play any tricks with him.

Now ordinary people do not need him to show his attention in person.

On the contrary, every detail has never been missed.

For example, Roger's anklet was removed, so that he can stand here with dignity.

It may sound a bit self-deceptive, but it is very important for sensitive people.

"Give him a chair."

Derek's voice is very magnetic.

Roger's eyebrows twitched, and he had to admit that he had a good first impression of Duke Leopold.

In addition to those rumors, although there are all kinds of crimes about Duke Leopold's arrogance and disregard for the royal family.

But there is no other black material, but the other party's bravery and wisdom are very famous.

To some extent, this is a monarch with more charisma than King Arthur.

Unfortunately, the knight's allegiance is not freely chosen by himself.

"General Rogge, tell me about your original plan. I want to know how you want to stop me from going south."

Rogge hesitated. Although he had failed, it did not mean that his efforts were not worth mentioning.

Since the Duke wanted to listen, he should tell him that he asked him to remove the anklet.

Immediately, he told him all his actions after receiving the order, including the subsequent plan.

Derek was also surprised to learn that he had sent people to observe the families of Farid and others.

In this way, Simon was not without any danger, but just had better luck.

After listening carefully, Derek gave his own opinion: "Not a bad idea, just from a military point of view, it is very stable.

Even a little brilliant, knowing that the military is not a simple individual, but unfortunately still lacks experience and patience."

Derek casually pointed out some details, if it were him, how would he do it, and what flaws there were.

Rogge was originally full of vigilance, but when he heard the professional question, he immediately became energetic and couldn't help discussing a few words, and soon forgot his identity.

The two talked for an hour, and Derek was sure that Rogge had something in mind.

"Rogge, I'll tell you directly, how about working for me." Derek suddenly said.

The happy topic came to an abrupt end.

Rogge looked tangled. After an hour of conversation, he confirmed that Duke Leopold was the one who understood him better.

But surrender is not so easy.

Let's not talk about whether the psychological barrier can be passed, his family is still in the capital.

The general of the Guards Corps is different from Farid. Even his family is under close surveillance, and it is difficult to run away.

So after a period of hesitation, Rogge refused with difficulty: "Your Excellency the Duke, thank you for your appreciation, but my family is still in the capital."

Instead of mentioning the loyalty of the knight, he talked about his family, and Derek understood what he meant.

"I understand. Tomorrow King Arthur will get the news that you are dead. In a few years, I will find a chance to take your family out.

As for you, how about changing your name and going to another place to work for me?" Derek said.

The families of the generals of the Guards will be closely monitored, but the families of the dead generals will not be monitored all the time.

King Arthur does not have the strength and energy.

Rogge had no reason to refuse this time. His last reserve made him silent.

Derrick smiled and waved his hand: "Take a good rest for a few days. We will find time to communicate. Do something for me in a month."

Rogge bowed to thank him and left with the attendant. This time, the anklet was no longer needed.

Soon, there was another bloody corpse on the gallows.

Someone asked: "Which noble is this?"

Many nobles have been executed in recent days. They are all die-hard supporters of the royal family, so civilians feel nothing strange.

The soldiers in charge of guarding know some inside information, and there is no need to keep it secret.

Hearing this, he just glanced back and said disdainfully, "It seems that the general of the Guards Corps, named Roger or Roger, was ignorant of his duties and unwilling to surrender, so the Duke ordered him to be executed."

On the gallows, 'Rogge' was bloody and his hair was scattered, covering half of his face. It was obvious that he had been tortured.

Judging from his body shape and cheek contours, he looked like him.

Moreover, many people were executed in the past few days, and this general was not the only one.

In the crowd, someone silently observed for a long time and confirmed the identity of the body.

With the wind, the body was still shaking. It was obvious that the people of the Northern Principality had no intention of putting the body down.

This was not without precedent. The mummy cross was a very famous landscape in the North.

Then, the news was quickly sent to the capital.

After all, the Northern Principality was born out of the Locke Kingdom. The connection between the two is inextricable and not so easy to cut off.

Fortunately, Derek can ensure that his men will not be like a sieve with holes everywhere.

In the palace, King Arthur opened the secret report, annoyed at first, and then calmed down.

"Alas, Rogge tried his best. It's all the fault of that bastard Farid. Send someone to comfort General Rogge's family. Be polite."

Rogge was captured by the Northern Principality. King Arthur was very worried that he would surrender, so he sent people to watch over his family early.

Now that he heard that he was dead, he was relieved.

In the final analysis, the fall of Monta Province was not Rogge's fault. He had done what he should do.

All we can say is that Farid and others were too shameless. They colluded with the people of the Northern Principality early, which led to the fall of Monta Province.

Thinking of this, King Arthur was furious again: "Increase the reward. I want to see the head of that bastard Farid."
