Chapter 1382 End and Dawn
"You're right, it's time to end this."
Hanershu's rough old face, covered with wrinkles, was still full of solemnity, and he nodded heavily.
After being forced to cover the rear for Shirik, Hanershu, the leader of the giant trees, and Shanyuan, the leader, knew that they were no match for the dark elf army led by Jace, so they decisively decided to let their soldiers throw away their weapons and join the light. Although Jace had limited communication skills, he still tried his best to report everything to Lei Xiao through Lianna.
After receiving the news that some trolls had surrendered, although Lei Xiao had some doubts in his heart, he accepted the other party's request after some thought.
After all, through the information from Fanny and others, Lei Xiao had already learned that the Troll Tribal Alliance was not a monolithic entity, and that two of the tribes, the Giant Tree and the Mountain Abyss, had no conflict with the human race. And through Jace's intermittent description, these troll soldiers who had turned from darkness to light came from the Giant Tree and the Mountain Abyss.
Since there is an opportunity to increase our combat effectiveness, Lei Xiao will naturally not miss it.
However, when Lei Xiao was secretly accepting the surrendered soldiers from the other side, he still deployed some measures to prevent the opponent from playing any conspiracy or tricks. Fortunately, the worry was unnecessary.
At the same time, Lei Xiao also learned that the two leaders intended to take advantage of the chaos to clean up the mess, so he naturally nodded in agreement and ordered Jace to send strong men to hide in the shadows and observe in secret.
Due to the chaos on the battlefield, and Lei Xiao's orders to Jayce to cooperate with the two troll leaders as much as possible to pretend a fierce battle, it did not attract the attention of Xirik.
What happens next is very obvious.
With the cooperation of the giant tree leader and the mountain abyss leader, the other two leaders under Shirik were soon killed in the chaos by the former two, and finally the scene just now happened.
After saying that, Hanershu's staff tapped the ground lightly, and an ancient dark metal plate representing the power of the trolls was rolled up by the vines that broke out of the ground, then detached from the waist of the fallen corpse, and finally delivered to the former's hands.
Then, Hanershu held up a metal plate and activated a loudspeaker spell, saying, "All troll soldiers, listen up! The Lich's undead army has been defeated by the human emperor!"
"And the three leaders, including Xilike, namely, Bone Erosion, Evil Thorn, and Rotten Wood, have all been killed. In the name of the leader of the alliance, I and the leader of Shanyuan order you to lay down your weapons and stop attacking, and submit to the human king. This is the only way for us to survive!"
Hearing Hanershu's loud and powerful voice, the trolls on the battlefield were all stunned and subconsciously stopped what they were doing.
You know, the Troll Tribe is a force that worships the strong, and the strongest is the one with the highest power. Now that the three major tribal leaders have died, the giant tree leader Hanershu and the Shanyuan leader have undoubtedly become the strongest people who control the supreme power.
In addition, they were surrounded and heard the news that the Undead army had been defeated. Under such multiple blows, some troll soldiers soon began to throw away their weapons in frustration. When other trolls around saw this, they followed suit.
It didn't take long for the entire area to go from extremely active to extremely quiet. Even the dwarf elves on the opposite side had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Especially Broy and Cornet, who were in a state of panic, began to look at each other in bewilderment after they breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long ago, Lei Xiao did inform them that as long as they held on a little longer, everything would be solved, but they never expected that the trolls would actually submit obediently to Lei Xiao.
While Broy and Cornet were stunned, the battle continued on the other side of the battlefield.
"Reporting to His Majesty, not only has the undead army been repelled, but even the trolls have surrendered to the human emperor!"
The middle-aged Minotaur general with meticulously trimmed hair stumbled into the core of the tightly defended army formation. However, before he could finish his words, he found that the Minotaur King who had been sitting on the throne had disappeared.
"General, when His Majesty the King saw that the situation was not good, he quietly left with his confidants."
A young Minotaur guard looked ashen and shook his head helplessly.
"So, have we become abandoned?"
The middle-aged minotaur general was stunned at first, then his eyes widened and he said angrily: "He actually disregarded the lives of so many soldiers. This is a complete tyrant!"
"General, I don't want to die yet."
The young Minotaur guard could no longer hold back, and asked in panic, "What should we do?"
"This……"
Looking at the young Minotaur guard crying, the middle-aged Minotaur general didn't know what to do for a moment.
Although he is now the supreme commander here, if he imitates the trolls, not only will the lives of his family members who are held hostage by the tyrant be in danger, but he will also be held responsible for everything.
By then, even if I survived, I would undoubtedly be living a life worse than death because I had lost my honor and family.
From this it is not difficult to see that the tyrant was able to escape with peace of mind because he understood this point.
"But if I choose to fight to the death, the situation will be hopeless now, and there will be no chance of recovery. Wouldn't that push the soldiers into the abyss of death?"
Thinking of this, the middle-aged minotaur general's face was full of dilemma, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Feeling upset, the middle-aged Tauren leader let out a dull bull cry and said angrily, "Damn it, if only we could find that tyrant..."
Before the middle-aged Minotaur general finished speaking, he suddenly saw a triangular brown furry object rolling under his feet, and a calm voice sounded: "Mr. Minotaur General, are you looking for this thing?"
Surprised, the middle-aged minotaur general subconsciously looked down and found that it was a huge bull head still wearing a crown! As for who it was, it was self-evident.
"It's the tyrant, he's finally dead!"
Before the astonished Minotaur general could speak, the young Minotaur guard at the side brightened up his eyes and began to cheer.
At the same time, a group of figures exuding an extraordinary aura appeared in front of the Tauren general. Leading the group was Lei Xiao, and behind Lei Xiao were Xiao Jie, Xiao Jing, as well as several other dark elf generals including Jace and Lianna.
Not long ago, it was because Jace keenly discovered the fleeing Tauren King and, after a fierce battle, killed him and his cronies, which led to the current scene.
The reason why Lei Xiao showed up in person was that based on the information provided by Fanny, Davis and others, he speculated that the Minotaur King intended to use the other Minotaur as shields and pawns to escape, so he took the initiative to contact the other party.
"My dear old cows, my great emperor is here to save you. Why don't you come and pay your respects to his majesty?"
Xiao Jing was seen folding her arms, raising her fair chin and speaking in a pretentious manner.
"Are you, are you the Emperor of the Human Race?"
The middle-aged Minotaur general reacted quickly. Since the tyrant was already dead, what was there for him to hesitate about?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged Tauren general's legs softened, and he knelt on the ground with the other Tauren soldiers around him, and said to Lei Xiao respectfully: "We are willing to submit to His Majesty the Emperor of the Human Race! Please show mercy and forgive our sins of disrespect!"
"Go and inform the other minotaurs. This dispute should be finally over."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly and nodded to the Minotaur general.
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, the middle-aged Minotaur general rolled and crawled and immediately took action.
It didn't take long before all the Minotaur soldiers surrendered and were placed under strict supervision by our soldiers.
When dawn arrived, two dazzling suns dispelled the last trace of darkness in the night, and the entire battlefield finally fell completely quiet.
"Your Majesty, it's all thanks to you, otherwise I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to hold on!"
In the command hall of Bingshi City, Broy, who was reunited with Lei Xiao, said with gratitude on his face.
"If we rely on our own strength, we won't be able to defeat the undead army led by the lich, not to mention the trolls and minotaurs."
A trace of relief welled up on Shult's wooden sculpture-like old face, and he said with emotion: "Becoming an ally of the human race is indeed the most correct choice for the tree people."
"I think so too! Wood fairies always stand on the side of humans!"
Chris also immediately expressed her thoughts and echoed.
After saying that, Chris's translucent wings drooped down, and she said with a guilty look on her face, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's because our strength is limited, otherwise we wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation from the beginning."
"That's right, it's all because of us who are holding back."
Fanny also had the same expression, and then she said excitedly: "Thanks to the human king's efforts to turn the tide, we can pry the scales of victory!"
As everyone finished speaking, Prince Zhan Yi Davis, who was also fighting at a disadvantage, and other dragon-born generals such as Nar also nodded.
Although they were still some distance away from Lei Xiao and did not feel comfortable speaking directly, it was not difficult to tell from their expressions of respect that they obviously had the same idea as Broy and the others.
"Thanks to His Majesty, we not only achieved the final victory, but also successfully protected the ancient mine!"
Ruth's fair and delicate face was filled with excitement, and she said excitedly: "The glorious moment of fighting side by side with His Majesty the Human Race will be forever engraved in our memory!"
After Ruth finished speaking, Mellen and other light half-elves also nodded, with the same excitement on their faces.
"Thank you for your praise. This is not entirely my credit. Without your bloody battles, this battle would never have ended so quickly."
Lei Xiao smiled and waved his hand, then turned sideways to let Xiao Jing, Jace, Lianna and other ancient dark elf generals out, and said, "Of course, they played a decisive role in this. They are the comrades we should really thank."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, everyone immediately expressed their heartfelt gratitude.
Originally, ancient dark elf generals such as Jace were unwilling to attend such a lively occasion, but were forcibly pulled over by Lei Xiao.
One is to thank the other party directly for their assistance, and the other is to deepen the connection between the ancient dark elves and all of us.
"Hey, don't thank me, because I have already decided to follow His Majesty, and it is my duty to do His Majesty's business!"
After experiencing a life-and-death battle with Lei Xiao, Xiao Jing had obviously already considered herself a member of Lei Xiao's team. She said with great pride, "Thank my good friends if you want to thank anyone!"
"No need, thank you."
There was still no obvious expression on Jace's resolute face. He said calmly: "Everything we do is just to protect His Majesty the Human Race and pursue the truth of the world."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Lei Xiao with an irrepressible respect in their eyes, especially the dragon generals like Davis and Nar.
The human emperor was able to actually get the ancient dark elves, who were unable to even communicate normally, to fight for him so wholeheartedly. The methods used by this human emperor were obviously too harsh.
The most crucial thing is that with 10 ancient dark elf legions following their lead, the human race will undoubtedly become the most powerful force around, and no one will be able to shake it in the slightest.
"Thank you General Jace for your recognition. I will never let you down."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then spoke to the crowd: "Everyone, although the current war has come to an end and the soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield, there is still one thing I need to tell you, and that is about the surrender of the trolls and tauren."
After saying that, Lei Xiao described the whole story of how these two forces turned from darkness to light.
When they heard that the giant tree leader, the mountain abyss leader, and the middle-aged tauren general had all surrendered to Lei Xiao, especially the dragon-born generals such as Davis, they were almost grinning from ear to ear.
Unexpectedly, in this battle, Lei Xiao not only turned the tide, but also returned to support after defeating the undead army led by the lich, and finally brought down the curtain of victory. He even subdued the troll and tauren soldiers.
Needless to say, the trolls, with the surrender of their two leaders, were naturally under Lei Xiao's command. And after the death of the tauren king, it was not difficult for Lei Xiao to support the new king. After all, the cruelty of the previous tauren king was well known to everyone.
This undoubtedly means that among all the nearby forces, only the Dragonborn still keep a certain distance from the human race!
The light half-elves, the only backers of the Dragonborn, have increasingly close relations with humans, so they naturally know what is more important.
As he thought of this in his mind, Davis' dragon face was covered with sweat, and he suddenly felt sweaty.
With Lei Xiao's current strength, it would be easy for him to take action against them.
"Your Highness, don't be so nervous. The Dragonborn have made a lot of contributions this time, and we can't thank them enough."
Lei Xiao immediately noticed the other party's thoughts and smiled faintly, "Besides, the Dragonborn have had a close relationship with the human race since the distant Silver Moon Era. How could I attack my human friends?"
"Thank you for your recognition, His Majesty. It is undoubtedly a great honor for us to receive your praise."
Davis' voice became noticeably more respectful, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Very good, let's proceed to the last item."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.
