Chapter 44: The Most Ridiculous Victory in History

  Seeing the soldiers scrambling for meat pies, the Golden Knight and Ilya's Mages couldn't help but be speechless. "Stop it, this isn't good," they said, as the soldiers would end up hating each other. After all, after such a long time without food, hunger had already conquered fear, and the Golden Knight and Mages still dared to kill.

  But it won't stop, letting the soldiers continue to make a fuss, not only making the enemy laugh, but also causing their own side to lose a large number of soldiers, really being unable to do anything about it.

  "What shall we do, Lord Magician?" The Golden Knight asked Ilya.

  Ilya stretched his mouth and said: "You see what you can do about it. You are the commander of the army, aren't you? Can't even handle this little thing?"

  The Golden Knight was speechless at once. I'm going to your MD, now you let me take charge, it seems that all the unideal roles are played by me?

  “……”

  Wu Lingfeng looked at the bustling scene below the city and said, "Grandsons, hurry up and call out 'grandfather', then surrender. Meat pancakes are waiting for you to eat, meat soup is waiting for you to drink, hurry up, or else there won't be any left."

  "To be honest, I think it's better to die from overeating than starving. What are you guys fighting for? Look at your commanders, they can't even let you eat a meal, it's not worth it, might as well be a prisoner..."

  "You damned little brat, don't try to persuade my soldiers, they are all loyal to the Empire of Thorns and will never surrender to you..." Ilya said angrily, he was also a bit afraid, if Wu Linfeng continued to speak, his soldiers would really have to surrender.

  The Golden Knight proposed to Ilya: "Magician, I think we'd better retreat. If we head north or south for a few days, we'll reach our neighboring city, where food won't be a problem and we can lead an even stronger army to attack him."

  Ilya nodded in agreement, thinking that the Golden Knight made a lot of sense. If they couldn't win, then why stay and suffer here?

  "Hmm, retreat..." Ilya said in battle.

  The golden knight nodded instantly and turned to the soldiers under his command, saying: "Everyone withdraws and rushes to the city near us. Once we get there, we can have a full meal..."

  The soldiers heard that they could eat their fill and immediately looked at the Golden Knights, but the nearby city was not close, could they hold on until then?

  Wu Lingfeng on the city wall couldn't help but sneer, loudly shouting at those below: "Ha! You think you can make it to a nearby city? In a few days? One day? Two days? Three days? By the time you get there, you'll be starving to death. Soldiers below, I swear to you in the name of the Holy Light Empire's nobility, if you surrender, you can eat your fill and won't have to die..."

  Wu Lingfeng's words immediately stirred up the soldiers under the city, and since they had sworn in the name of the nobility, they could surrender with peace of mind. Soon, the first soldier surrendered...

  "I surrender, anyway it's death either way... at least I'll die with a full stomach..." said a slightly chubby soldier who threw down his sword, and the fat one couldn't bear the hunger anymore.

  "How dare you! Looking for death!" Ilya roared, his arm raised high, a sharp earth spear burst out of the ground, instantly piercing the soldier's body.

  "Hmmph..."

  A large amount of blood spurted out, and the magician's power made the soldiers shrink their necks, not daring to make any other moves.

  Wu Lingfeng sneered again, saying: "Listen up, soldiers below the city! Can't you several tens of thousands of people take down a single mage? Look, he just killed one of your own without hesitation. That means he can kill a second and third person too. Do you want to die or become prisoners and eat your fill?"

  What's there to fear? He won't even give us food to eat. Why listen to him? If you all go up, he will surely die, and I'll also help you from the city wall...

  Helena nodded at Wu Lingfeng, and a bow and arrow appeared in her hand, pointing at Ilya. The arrow was made of secret silver.

  "The master is right, you can only surrender now. Even a magician like me has been captured, and Ilya will die sooner or later. Do you want to starve to death? Surrender..." Shirley chimed in at this moment.

  For a moment, all the thorny flower soldiers under the city cast cold glances at Ilya. They were afraid of one person, and what about the demon master? He would be captured by others sooner or later...

  Ilya saw the secret silver arrows on the city wall and the icy gaze of the surrounding soldiers, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't help but ask the Golden Knight beside him for help: "Help me, quickly order the soldiers to leave here..."

  Wu Lingfeng's psychological warfare has achieved enough success, and starving soldiers can do anything.

  "...The golden knight looked around with a headache, and by now he was also powerless. Perhaps he shouldn't have come to Strak in the first place. The opposing magician's mouth was too sharp, his plots were endless, and the morale of the troops was shaken. He had no way to deal with it either. If the soldiers had eaten their fill, they might still be able to fight back and take down Strak City, but now..."

  Wu Lingfeng said again: "Five seconds of thinking time, when you don't surrender, I will lead my army out of the city to slaughter you all, not one left. So now you still have time to choose, countdown starts, five... four... three..."

  "Ah, brothers charge ahead, kill him and we can eat our fill..."

  "It's better to die from eating too much than to die from starving..."

  "Yes, he's alone, let's go up together and kill him... The magician on the city wall will also help us..."

  "Hmm, being a captive is better than being a starving soldier..."

  "Kill..."

  “……”

  Upon hearing Wu Lingfeng's words, the Thorn Flower soldiers no longer hesitated and began their attack on Iliya...

  At this moment, Wu Lingfeng coldly smiled on the city wall and nodded at Xue Li, letting her deal with that Golden Knight.

  "Majestic guardian of the law, spearhead of order, amidst chaos, riding on the void below, radiant will, thunderbolt judgment, hymn of the gates of heaven, warning - Judgment of the Cross of Light!!"

  Sherry struck in time, sealing away the golden knight with the Judgment Cross.

  Ilya frantically used various **, earth spears and earth shields to deflect the soldiers' attacks. At this moment, he saw the Golden Knight being restrained by Shirley, and suddenly lost his soul. His last shield was also destroyed, how hateful...

  "Hmmph..."

  At this time, the silver arrow pierced Ilya's chest. He looked at his own chest in disbelief, a large amount of blood flowed out, stiffly turned his head to look around, and Helena on the city wall sneered at him, the silver arrow in her hand was gone, it was the one that had penetrated his chest.

  "Surrender...!" Wu Lingfeng looked at Ilya and the Golden Knight, who were already powerless, and shouted loudly. He wanted to kill them with his own hands, thinking of the precious level experience and QP points he would gain. After killing them, he should be able to reach level 15. Ha ha, it was their last contribution to him.

  "I surrender..."

  "I surrender..."

  "I surrender..."

  All the Hawthorn Flower soldiers threw down their weapons and raised their hands, now eating a full meal was the most important thing for them.
