The system has to be used even if it is pulled

Old Wu fled quickly. The Duke of Alama, who was attacking the west gate, got the news of Old Wu's defeat, so he led his army to withdraw and headed towards Old Wu.

"Protect the king!" Duke Alama drew his weapon and shouted loudly when he saw the embarrassed Old Ulrich and Brunus, as well as the many pursuing cavalrymen behind him.

Zhao Yuanlang's body was covered in blood. No less than fifty or sixty people had died at his hands. Now he started flying a kite and kept shooting with the bow and arrow in his hand.

Every time a soldier fell to the ground or a knight fell from his horse.

Under the command of Alama, the cavalrymen belonging to his Horn Summoning Knights began to charge towards the attacking Zhao Yuanlang.

Zhao Yuanlang put away his bow and arrow, picked up the huge demon-slaying sword from the demon charging horse, and with a wave of his hand, the two cavalrymen collided with each other.

This was a massacre. Facing a legion of cavalry led by Zhao Yuanlang, dozens of knights of the Horn Summoning Knights under Alama were unable to resist, especially Zhao Yuanlang. Every time he swung the huge demon-slaying sword, several knights were knocked to the ground.

It was beyond human control. The Duke of Alama noticed this and the infantrymen who followed formed a tight battle line, while the archers in the back began to shoot freely.

But Alama forgot, he forgot the defenders in the city, perhaps he thought contemptuously that the defenders in the city dared not come out.

The army was hit in the ass, and more than a hundred soldiers, led by Cassim, attacked the archers' formation behind him.

Soon he dispatched a group of soldiers to assist the archers in the rear.

Zhao Yuanlang saw that the situation was hopeless, so he fought off the horn summoning knights of Duke Alama, and shouted from a distance: "That's all for today. Ulric runs fast, and from now on you and Brennus will be the fast running duo of Pendor!"

When Lao Wu, who was about to dismount, heard this, he almost rolled off his horse, while Brunus' face was filled with shame.

Alama looked at the two of them with both anger and amusement, and signaled the Dragon Slayer Zade and the instructor of the Horn Summoning Knights, Baker, to help His Majesty the King down.

"Allama, the army is in your hands."

Alama understood what Lao Wu meant, and he began to gather the defeated soldiers and boost morale.

It was another night. It was quiet outside the city of Issos, but the city was brightly lit. People were celebrating. Today was a great victory, with more than 300 prisoners captured.

The next morning, the guards on the city wall came to report that the army outside had retreated. Zhao Yuanlang lazily got up from the bed and nodded as a matter of course.

After all, he had killed at least two or three hundred enemy soldiers yesterday, and with the army's charge, the other side suffered at least five or six hundred casualties. Add to that those who fled, fled, were injured, and were captured, and Lao Wu's army of a thousand people was basically wiped out.

It was undoubtedly a pipe dream for the Duke of Alama to rely solely on his thousand-man army to capture Issos, which had been joined by Agrael V.

It would be absolutely impossible to break through the elite defense force of Issos, which has nearly a thousand people, without three thousand people.

Cleaning the battlefield, countless people went out of the city and began to clean the battlefield outside the city. Several large pits were dug and countless corpses were thrown in. The fire was burning, and the firelight shone on Zhao Yuanlang's face, as if it was the light of hope for Pand.

Issos had more than 500 captives. Under Zhao Yuanlang's high-pressure brainwashing policy, they all swore to join Zhao Yuanlang's army, and the army was greatly expanded to more than 1,600 people.

Duke Elfwan, who had originally attacked Castle Almera, received the news and led his troops to retreat.

Zhao Yuanlang stepped up preparations for a new round of war. Dozens of recruiting officers were sent out. After a week, they would surely bring back a large number of people willing to join Zhao Yuanlang's army.

"Unexpected! Really unexpected." Justus sighed meaningfully. There was no way he could take back the city of Issos.

Although he still had the backing and support of the Goddess of Creation, he was not qualified to compete with Zhao Yuanlang, who had three hundred battle legions. He even repelled three waves of the Sarion Kingdom's army by himself, a feat that no one could match.

Emperor Marius was immediately excited when he received the news. He directly issued a royal decree, appointing Zhao Yuanlang as consul, in charge of Issus and a large northern area as far as the Elf Mountains, as the commander-in-chief against the Kingdom of Saraon.

Even though many imperial nobles were resentful, they did not dare to challenge Zhao Yuanlang, fearing that Zhao Yuanlang would raise his knife against them. They could only obey Zhao Yuanlang's call and return to Issos.

In the new round of enfeoffment, Archon Justus was held responsible for the main reason for the failure of the war. His archonship was abolished, Issus was lost, and he was only given a relatively wealthy trading town, Ahun.

The Goddess of Creation began to build a relationship with Zhao Yuanlang because Zhao Yuanlang occupied Isos, sending people and helping with training. The two sides reached a cooperative relationship to jointly resist the Snake Cult. The full-strength army under the Paladin Maximian accepted Zhao Yuanlang's dispatch and became his subordinates to jointly resist the threat of Sarion and the erosion of the Snake Cult.

Shira Yuzas and the noisy drunkard Alaric were in bad luck. They originally wanted to attack from both sides, but Zhao Yuanlang got the news in advance.

After leading Argray V and Maximian, who was extremely angry with Hira Yuzas, they first besieged the careless Alaric, and then ambushed Hira Yuzas's army.

Alaric and Shira Yuzas knelt down in front of Zhao Yuanlang.

"Alaric, Shira Yuzas, you are guilty!"

"So what!" Sheila Yuzas stared at Zhao Yuanlang with bloodshot eyes, somewhat crazy.

"Since you admit it, take him away and chop off his head!" Zhao Yuanlang waved his hand, and two guards pulled Shira Yuzas up from the ground and dragged him out.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! We have no choice!" Alaric shouted when he saw that his good friend was about to be executed.

Zhao Yuanlang waved his hand and the two guards stopped. Sheila Yuzas fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"We are unwilling to accept this. Why is it that despite my hard work and blood and sweat, I am still not as good as this group of corrupt nobles? All major knightly orders only allow nobles to join. I have made so many contributions and became the lieutenant general of the legion. The Shadow Legion gave me the opportunity to join as if it were alms. Why can the soldiers on the front line only get meager rewards and a status lower than that of hereditary nobles? Why can they only fight against the cavalry of various forces in Pendor? This is unfair! I have struggled all my life, became a noble, and became a high-ranking official of the Shadow Knights. I want to change, but I find that I cannot change. I can only reform! Why! Why!"

Shira Yuzas cried out with tears streaming down her face.

I have to say that Shira Yuzas is very conscious.

"Because it's not the right time yet. There are so many countries on the continent, and the time has not come yet! You are powerless to change anything. Join me. When I unify the continent, I will make laws that are equal for everyone. Everyone can go to school, and soldiers can become nobles based on their merits."

"Haha, just you, the little brat from the Kavala family?" Shira Yuzas smiled disdainfully.

"All of you retreat!" Zhao Yuanlang waved his hand, and all the guards in the hall walked out.

Sheila Yuzas and Alaric felt a chill in their hearts when they saw Zhao Yuanlang walking towards them with a strange expression.

Soon, the soldiers outside the hall heard heart-wrenching screams from inside, and they couldn't help but tremble.

The shouting continued for a long time, and finally, Zhao Yuanlang came out, followed by, eh? Sheila Yuzas, who had not been tortured and was untied, and the drunkard Alaric.

The guards drew their weapons and looked at the two nervously.

"Put down your weapons. I have convinced them. They will join the light. Send a message to the Emperor and the Grand Master of the Shadow Knights. Shira Yuzas has realized his mistake and led the rebellious soldiers back to the Shadow. I will establish a branch of the Shadow Legion in Issos."

"Yes!"

With the arrival of another legion, the captured Hira Yuzas and Alaric's men surrendered one after another when they saw their leader surrender.
