Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 475 Ten Minutes

Even though this was just a dispute of face, Kallen had to ask her brother to mobilize reinforcements to reinforce the fortress as quickly as possible.

After all, no matter what, this is the face of the Revolutionary Army and the capital for them to gain more benefits in the subsequent negotiations. Therefore, no matter how much Kallen does not want this unnecessary battle to happen, she must do something as the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

However, even though they had quickly mobilized an elite force from the city of Stansor to provide assistance, unfortunately, with seven flying knights deployed, both the fortress and the reinforcements were destroyed.

If Perfect had not given the order not to kill anyone, these flying knights would probably have killed everyone.

Because in addition to being equipped with specialized steam armor that allows them to fly, the weapons on their flying knights are also much more powerful than those of ordinary knights.

For example, they are holding 20mm grenade launchers, which are fed by special drum magazines connected to ammunition belts. Each flying knight can carry two -round drum magazines.

In addition, they also have shoulder-fired 75mm recoilless rifles that use pods for ammunition. Each pod has five shells, and the Steam Knight can carry three pods.

As for the 12.7mm three-barreled rotary automatic machine gun, it only carries two hundred rounds of bullets and is a self-defense weapon used for protection when necessary.

With this kind of firepower, and the ability to fly, a flying knight is equivalent to an armed helicopter even in Perfecto's original world. Putting this kind of thing on a battlefield where smoothbore rifles and flintlocks are still used is really...

All in all, twenty minutes after Perfect gave the order, Waver had returned with the other flying knights.

They landed, and apart from a slight smell of gunpowder on their bodies, there was not even a single scratch on the surface of their armor that had been polished to a shine.

This undoubtedly gave the representatives of the revolutionary army a great shock. After all, even if their people were defeated, it shouldn't be the case that they couldn't even leave a mark on the opponent, right?
But before these flying knights spoke, they still had some unrealistic expectations in their hearts, hoping that these steam knights would be afraid of the fortress defenders' defense and not launch an attack, and would just return in disgrace.

However, when Weber opened his mask and reported to Perfect, they knew that their expectations were completely dashed.

"My Lord Earl, we have fulfilled our mission! According to your order, we flew to the fortress and sent five riders to attack the fortress. We have successfully captured the fortress." Weber gave Perfectcot a brief mission report and specifically explained the situation of the reinforcements sent by the other party: "In addition, we noticed that the other party sent reinforcements, so we sent two riders to block them.

They had no weapons capable of striking us, and the morale of the fortress' defenders collapsed after we blasted the fortress's tallest tower with our howitzers.

If you hadn't ordered not to kill anyone, with all twelve riders engaged in the battle, we could have wiped out the two thousand defenders in the fortress within five minutes.

But even so, we destroyed the fortress's gate, towers and some defensive bunkers within ten minutes and occupied the fortress's command center.

During the occupation, some of the fortress defenders were injured for various reasons, but no one was killed. "

"Well, you did a good job. As a debut for the flying knights, you did well." Perfect nodded slightly, satisfied with the performance of the flying knights. From what Weber said, she could tell that Weber did not send all the knights into battle. Only five of the twelve knights in a flag team participated in the attack on the fortress, while two went to block the reinforcements of the revolutionary army. The other five were almost watching the show the whole time.

Under such circumstances, they were still able to capture a fortress in ten minutes without killing anyone. This was indeed a battle of great value.

As for why it took Weber a total of twenty minutes, it was simply because he spent some flying time on the road.

After all, the fortress is still some distance away from the city. Normally it would take half an hour to get there by horse, but for a flying knight it only takes five minutes.

After learning about the results of the flying knights, Perfect looked at the representatives of the Revolutionary Army and said, "Now that you have tried, the Empire has the power to crush you at any time, so now you choose to accept my gift and become the dominion of the Empire?
Or do you want to reject my mercy, choose to continue to be the enemy of the Empire, and then be completely crushed by me? All the consequences are decided by your words. "

Facing this ultimatum-like inquiry, Karen seemed a little undecided. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Can you give us some time? I need to discuss this with others."

"Since you have been very polite before and are truly willing to negotiate, I will give you 48 hours. I need a clear answer after 48 hours." Perfect looked at Kallen and still did not force the revolutionary army representatives too much.

----------------

"Do we really have to surrender to the empire? Is our cause going to be blocked halfway?" A representative clutched his hat in his hand unwillingly, looking inexplicably sad and angry.

Kallen sighed and said helplessly, “I don’t want this to happen, but you all saw that it only took the flying knights ten minutes to capture the fortress of Stansor City, and this was because they didn’t want to kill anyone.

I really can't imagine what terrible consequences would result if the Steam Knights launched an attack without restraint."

"For the revolution, we are not afraid of sacrifice!" The representative who had contradicted Perfectot before still had a firm look on his face, but his pale face and slightly trembling hands betrayed that his heart was not as firm as it seemed on the surface.

“Yes, we are indeed not afraid of sacrifice, but the lives of our comrades should not be wasted.” Kallen persuaded everyone with a little compassion on her face: “Although surrendering to the Empire is not what we expect.

But if a dominion can be established and autonomy can be obtained, this may be an acceptable compromise.

After all, our real goal has always been to liberate all oppressed people, and the most fundamental purpose of the revolution is to overthrow the rule of feudalism and capitalism and build a new world where everyone is equal.

The establishment of a dominion means that our cause has a truly stable external environment, doesn't it?
And everyone, I also hope that you realize that the end of the world is not just an empty talk. If the Empire had not to deal with the end of the world, I am afraid that the Earl of the North would not be so merciful and "don't kill" today, but would bring the Steam Knights to completely destroy everything. "
