"I, Baron Soto, the lord of Silver Leaf Town, surrender to you on behalf of Silver Leaf Town!"

"I hope you can spare the knights under my command. They are just following my orders." Soto asked Ryan sincerely.

Ryan responded: "Oh? Is this your only condition for surrender?"

"That's right. Just like you said, I have to admit defeat. I have no chance of turning the tables. Instead of struggling to my death, I'd rather surrender quickly and leave a good impression on you so that you can treat my family members well."

Soto said calmly, and when he realized that he had lost completely and got rid of the influence of the gambler's mentality, he turned back into the calm and intelligent Baron Soto.

He did not expect Ryan to let him go. Whether it was the long-standing hatred between him and Feiyu Town, or the ambition exposed by actively launching a war, it would prompt Ryan to get rid of him to prevent future troubles.

He could not escape death, but there was no need for Torre and the others to be buried with him, and the family had to be passed on, so Soto proposed such simple surrender conditions.

Looking at Soto's pleading eyes, Ryan sighed softly in his heart.

One has to admit that Baron Soto still has his merits. He has both a strategic vision that is rare among nobles and the courage to fight for a chance of survival for himself and his territory.

Moreover, he must have a good relationship with the knights under his command, otherwise none of the knights would have persisted until now.

If it weren't for the irreconcilable feud between him and Feiyu Town, and the fact that he was indeed ambitious and a crazy gambler, Ryan would have wanted to spare his life and take him under his command.

After all, Ryan has no shortage of talented generals, but rather a lack of talented commanders. The performances of the major knight commanders are all outstanding, but they have not yet grown to the level where they can command a war.

Soto does have this ability. Although he suffered repeated setbacks when attacking Feiyu Town, this was because he encountered players who did not play by the rules.

If he had faced a different opponent, he would not have been so embarrassed and would have taken down Feiyu Town long ago.

Therefore, Soto is considered a talent in Ryan's eyes, but unfortunately.
Ryan shook his head regretfully and said:
"Okay, I agree to your request."

After saying this, he didn't look at Soto who was taking a deep breath, but turned to look at Ball:

"Baron Bauer, you are the only one left. Do you want to continue to resist or propose terms of surrender?"

Bauer smiled and said, "Baron Ryan, you are joking. I was the first one to take off my sword. How could I resist? I surrender to you."

"As for the conditions, I want to retain the rule of Wetland Town. Ahem, just kidding. I am not talented enough to manage Wetland Town anymore. I will leave it to you to take charge."

Ball originally wanted to test Ryan's bottom line, but when he saw Ryan's cold eyes, he immediately changed his mind and handed over the Wetland Town to Ryan with all his heart.

He sighed helplessly and muttered silently in his heart:

"My dear ancestors, please don't blame me. I don't want to give up the territory that has been passed down in my family for a long time, but I can't do it!"

"This Baron Ryan is too abnormal. He can even conquer natural disasters. If I don't give him my territory, my entire family will be in danger of being destroyed."

"For the sake of my family's bloodline, I can only choose to surrender in humiliation."

"But please rest assured, ancestors. I will spread more family seeds, increase family members, and retain the hope of re-emergence."

"I just don't believe that I can't give birth to an offspring as outstanding as Ryan!"

Ball's eyes gradually became firm. For the future rise of the family, he had to suffer a little bit for his health. This was the responsibility he should bear as the patriarch!

Of course, to achieve this goal, in addition to having strong physical energy, you also need a lot of money. Raising children is very expensive.

Therefore, Bauer stated his surrender conditions: "I want to keep two-thirds of my private treasury. No, I want to keep half of it. It would be even better if I could share the tax revenue of Wetland Town."

Seeing Ryan frown, Bauer quickly changed his words and said, "It's okay if you don't have it. I just said it casually."

Ryan thought for a moment and said to Bauer, "Kingdom law stipulates that private property is inviolable. You don't have to hand over your private vault. You can keep it all."

"I can't give you a share of the tax revenue. It concerns the ruling power of the town. If I give it to you, neither you nor I will feel at ease."

Hearing this, Bauer was stunned at first, then he reacted and wanted to slap himself.

I was so blinded by money that I even dared to ask Ryan for taxes.

You know, taxation is one of the most important powers in the territory. As the former lord of the town, he is still obsessed with taxation. Isn't this courting death?

He didn't know whether Ryan would be at peace by then, but he would most likely rest in peace!

"Sorry, I didn't think it through. I only need half of the private treasury. The tax revenue of Wetland Town has nothing to do with me!" Bauer explained in panic.

Ryan said calmly: "Don't be nervous. I know you don't want to live off the savings and keep your family wealthy."

"How about this, I allow you to do business in my territory. How much money you can make depends on your own ability. Your private treasury will be left to you as capital."

Ryan was not interested in Bauer's private vault. With two major businesses, Poké Balls and potions, he had no shortage of these gold coins.

What's more, Ball will always spend money. As long as Ball stays in his territory honestly, these gold coins will flow into his pocket sooner or later.

The reason why Ryan let Bauer do business was because he felt that it would be better for the surrendered lord not to be idle. Once he was idle, he would not be able to help but recall his past as a lord, and might even have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Although it was almost impossible for them to pose a threat to Ryan, Ryan found it troublesome and thought about finding something for them to do, such as letting Baron Lancaster manage the garden.

Karlov and Bauer cannot sit idle after their surrender. He will recruit the former into his army and have him fight everywhere with him.

As for the latter, just let them do some business. Whether it makes a profit or a loss, Ryan will not suffer any loss, and it can even increase the GDP of the territory.

"Doing business? Although I don't want to be compared with those lowly businessmen, I might as well give it a try, just to find some fun in my boring life in the future."

Thinking of this, Baron Bauer nodded and agreed. From then on, a famous sucker appeared in Firefly Town.

Seeing that Soto and the other two had formally surrendered to him, Ryan felt that it was time to end the war.

He brought the three surrendered barons to another battlefield.

The knights who were still fighting saw the three barons taking off their swords and following Ryan, and they understood what had happened.

They stood there dejectedly, their eyes filled with sorrow and confusion.

Ryan also stopped the players who wanted to take the opportunity to kill these knights. Since he had agreed to the conditions of Soto and others, he would not go back on his word.

If the protagonist of another game dares to stop and kill a player with red eyes, he might be killed by the player as a boss.

Who do you think you are, to dare you teach us, the Fourth Disaster, what to do?
However, Ryan is different. Players are not afraid of anything except the power to ban accounts that Ryan has.

So the players reluctantly stopped attacking and prepared to watch the cutscene.

Looking at the players who were holding their heads, grabbing their ears, and covered in blood, Ryan's mouth twitched slightly.

The ancient way of recording merits is indeed convenient, and it also has the effect of intimidating the enemy. The only drawback is that it is too bloody. Next time, I will let Xiao Luo record the merits throughout the process.

"Soto! How can you surrender? I won't allow you to surrender!"

A roar was heard, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Williams walking towards them aggressively with a sword in hand.

Seeing this, Torre and others subconsciously wanted to protect Soto, but were glared away by Ryan.

Soto looked at the angry Williams, but was not frightened by his aura. Instead, he smiled:
"Old man, I surrender to Baron Ryan, not to you. Why do I need your permission? Do you think your status is higher than Baron Ryan?" "You!"

Williams stopped walking when he heard this. He glared at Soto angrily, then looked up and explained to Ryan, who was sitting on the back of the Dragonite:
"Lord Ryan, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

Ryan waved his hand and interrupted Williams: "I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I won't interfere in the feud between your two families."

"Oh, old man, you are really smart all your life, but you are confused at the moment. It seems that your reason has been completely destroyed by anger. You can't even hear that I am deliberately instigating you."

Soto sneered and continued:
"When you get old, stop occupying the position and hand it over to the young people. Oh, yes, it seems that you have already handed it over to the young people. I admire you for this. You are still as decisive as ever."

Williams gradually calmed down after hearing these words. He drew out his sword and asked Soto:

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"Nothing, I just want to have a chat with you, my old rival, and finally put an end to the feud between our two families."

"But before that, I have one last order to give to my knights."

Soto turned to look at Torre and the others, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and then he said loudly:

"Knight Commander Torre, listen to my orders!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Torre had tears in his eyes, as if he had anticipated Soto's next order.

"I order you to lead the Silver Leaf Knights and pledge allegiance to Lord Ryan. You must never betray me!"

"Lord Soto!!"

"Shut up! Do you want to disobey the lord's order?" Soto scolded in a harsh tone.

"I dare not, my subordinate"

Facing Soto's expectant gaze, Tore was stuck. He knew that Soto wanted to use the loyalty of the Silver Leaf Knights in exchange for Ryan's protection of the Soto family.

Just like Baron Bach of Ironthorn Town, although he is dead, his family members and descendants are still alive and well, and a big part of the reason for this is that Noz led the Ironthorn Knights to pledge allegiance to Ryan.

Even though the Knights no longer had any relationship with the Bach family after pledging allegiance to Ryan, the Ironthorn Knights would not even obey the orders of Bach's son.

But as long as the Bach family does not get stupid and provoke Ryan, they will be safe. Ryan will never get rid of them at will. Doing so will only discourage the Ironthorn Knights.

So Torre had to accept Soto's order.

"As ordered!"

Torre obeyed the order loudly, then quickly walked to Ryan, raised the knight's sword with both hands, and swore allegiance to Ryan.

Ryan was not surprised by Soto's order. The nobles have always attached great importance to the inheritance of family bloodline. Even if the territory is lost, they must preserve their own bloodline.

Whether it is Baron Lancaster of Rose Town or Knight Commander Noz of Ironthorn Town, they all want to use the loyalty of the knights in exchange for the extinction of their family bloodline.

Ryan would naturally not refuse the free loyalty.

This was not the first time he had experienced this, and he took Torre's knight's sword very skillfully and accepted his allegiance.

Seeing this, the other two barons also wanted their knights to swear allegiance to Ryan, but were stopped by Ryan.

There is no rush to pledge loyalty, and the knights will not run away, so let's end this war first.

Ryan threw the saber to Soto without saying a word.

But Soto also knew what he should do. After taking the sword, he slowly drew out the blade and pointed it at Williams opposite:

"Old man, do you dare to have a knight duel?"

"Come!"

Williams spoke briefly and then swung his sword at Soto.

"Qiang!"

The two swords collided, splashing sparks.

Although their moves were not fancy, each one was deadly, and it was obvious at first glance that they were sword skills honed on the battlefield.

Ryan watched their fight with great interest, and exclaimed in amazement. The swordsmanship of these two men was much better than his, but he was not envious.

What era is this? Who still has knight duels? Are Pokémon’s moves not powerful enough?
No matter how strong the Japanese Iai is, it can't beat the American Iai. A sword can't even beat a gun, let alone Pokémon.

Sir, times have changed!

Just as Ryan's thoughts were drifting away, the duel on the field was about to be decided.

Soto, who had already made up his mind to die, was naturally no match for Williams and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

After the two collided again, Soto whispered:

"Baron Williams, although the feud between our two families was not started by us, it can be ended by us. Let my blood wash away the hatred between the two families!"

After saying this, Soto loosened his sword arm, and Williams pressed down and slit Soto's throat.

After watching Soto fall down with a smile on his face, Williams' expression was extremely complicated.

Of course he knew why Soto said that just now. Soto was afraid that he would cause trouble for his family members, so he showed weakness.

"Boy, you underestimate me too much. I don't need you to remind me that the feud between the two families should really end."

Williams muttered to himself, stroking the sword in his hand, his eyes filled with tears, in which his son's figure was reflected.

He wiped the blood off the sword, carefully put it back into the scabbard, then took off his own sword and solemnly presented it to Ryan:

"You have fulfilled your promise to me, and it is my turn to fulfill it."

"I, Baron Williams, pledge my loyalty to you on behalf of Feiyu Town. From today on, you are the lord of Feiyu Town."

Ryan didn't push or shove and took Williams' sword naturally.

He raised his sword high and shouted in an impassioned voice:

"We won!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the task panel, which had been silent for a long time, began to receive a task reminder.
