Chapter 424: Chapter 402 Complete Surrender

After both “Flaming Blood Proud Dragon” family’s Monarch powerful experts had fallen, the remaining people in the city earnestly surrendered, and the Northern Kingdom Army swiftly moved in and took over everything in the city.

Rus City was greatly destroyed in a short amount of time; many citizens died or were injured. However, Darren, as the initiator of it all, did not feel that there was anything wrong with this.

The people of Rus City provided the “Flaming Blood Proud Dragon” Castleton family with clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, participated in building railways, and collected various extraordinary materials, among other actions, all lending strength to the “Flaming Blood Proud Dragon” Castleton family. Even in the investigations by the Black Tide, most of these citizens were proud of the “Flaming Blood Proud Dragon” family and were not merely exploited unilaterally.

Beyond that, they also spontaneously did many things for the civil war.

So were the citizens who died or were injured truly innocent?

Could it be that those who died over the years in the East Coast Province, who until their last breath still believed wholeheartedly in the Fischer family, died without innocence?

Moreover, Darren firmly believed that if he showed any leniency toward cities that were not keen to surrender, then the remaining cities might follow their example. At that point, if every city actively resisted and had to be conquered one by one, even with their huge advantage, they might suffer significant losses.

So his thought was very simple, direct, efficient.

Surrender and be accepted, don’t surrender and be killed! Surrender too late and also be killed!

Because if you’re allowed to repent and surrender partway through, and we then immediately hold back, it would mean that our previous “hard” stance was completely meaningless.

Negotiations, only one chance.

When the city was conquered, the remaining people from the “Flaming Blood Proud Dragon” family finally declared their surrender to Queen Peggy!

Marquis Vlad’s grandson, with grey hair, came forward with the remaining direct members of the dozen or so “Flaming Blood Proud Dragon” family, all kneeling down in the Central Square, heads lowered, waiting for Duke Darren’s judgement.

Over the years, the “Flaming Blood Proud Dragon” family had too many people assassinated by the “Death God” Chris, so the accumulated massive hatred was also the reason they did not want to surrender.

Occasionally, some still couldn’t help but raise their heads, staring around with eyes full of hatred. Darren saw this scene as he approached.

“…”

Darren, wearing a black coat, silently walked over, followed by Old Dog, the Emerald Elf, March, and the wolf-eared Alger—three close members of his team.

He looked at those direct members of the “Flaming Blood Proud Dragon” family and said in a very calm manner, “Is the recording device ready? It’s about to start.”

“Yeah.”

The ugly-faced Old Dog stood aside and nodded, snickering as he took out a gemstone-grade mysterious rare artifact from his bosom.

It was like a crimson gemstone, possessing the unique function of recording visual images.
