"despair……"

Cohen walked ahead alone, step by step towards the direction of the Batavia Fortress.

He didn't look like he was going to persuade him to surrender, but he looked like a prisoner on the execution ground.

Cohen is very familiar with this road. How many times he has walked on this road with ease, receiving the cheers and love of everyone, and he can even clearly remember the wildflower varieties on the roadside.

However, at this moment, Cohen felt extraordinarily heavy, and every step was a torment for Cohen.

no choice!

Not only did he have no choice, but the people in the city also had no choice.

"Leave women and children alone!"

This means not letting go of any man in the city.

Although Zhu Youchen didn't say what he would do to the man, the result was the same whether he killed or sold him.

How could men agree to such a condition?

"A man would never agree to such a condition!"

"It's even more impossible to die for women and children."

Cohen got the answer almost without thinking.

Among those who could leave their homeland in the Kingdom of Holland and come to the East Indies, there were hardly any good people.

Good men have no courage to leave their homes, and nine out of ten who do come to the East Indies are selfish brutes and bastards.

It's the one good thing that's left, either being squeezed out and coming back depressed, or going with the flow and turning into a selfish brute and bastard.

There are no exceptions at all.

Even Cohen is sure that there are more radical people who get the news and will attack the women and children in the city in advance.

Thinking of these, Cohen didn't have any expectations at all in his heart.

"Believe in those selfish bastards, it is better to believe in that devil."

However, he had to come, and he had reasons to come.

Although bastards are the majority in the city, there are still more than 3 excellent kingdom fighters.

They are as good as the naval fighters in the camp, and they cannot be wasted here.

Through a series of conversations and his observations, Governor Cohen has been able to confirm that Zhu Youchen is determined to win the city of Batavia.

But he knew better.

The reason why Zhu Youchen arranged for him to come here to persuade him to surrender must be that the Batavia fortress was stronger than Zhu Youchen's biggest loss in his heart.

However, it is only the biggest loss, and it has not yet reached the level where the loss cannot be afforded.

Moreover, under his observation, Zhu Youzhu must be greedy for the wealth in the city of Batavia, and wants to obtain the wealth in the city to the maximum extent.

"A cruel, greedy executioner! A devil!"

It's not that he didn't think about running away, as long as he was allowed to escape into the city, he was confident that he could hold on to the Batavia fortress for at least a year.

And a year later, the navy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will definitely sweep.

It's just a pity that Zhu Youchen always remembered to take him to sacrifice the flag, so he directly arranged ten elite spear-throwing fighters, which was enough to ensure that Cohen would be shot directly if he tried to escape.

[Elite Spear Throwing Warrior: HP: 35, Attack Power: 3, Armor: 0, Shield: 4, Range: 5]

Not to mention that the HP is five points higher than that of the Spear Throwing Warrior, but the attack power is also a little higher.

Don't underestimate this point, after all, many soldiers in the Daming Guards only have a little attack power, and most of them don't even have a little attack power.

And the shields have also been improved a little bit accordingly. Specifically, the shields they carry in their hands have become stronger square shields.

If it weren't for their armor and armaments, they would be almost exactly the same as the heavy infantry of the Roman Empire.

As a long-range projectile unit, their most important range directly reached five points.

Five points is the effective range of 50 meters.

Within 50 meters, there is no chance of a miss.

Although it seems that the shooting range is a little higher than that of the spear-throwing warrior, the actual attack distance is increased by ten meters.

Facing muskets, one meter may be a natural moat, let alone a distance of ten meters.

In just a short while, the group of people had come to a place 80 meters outside the Batavia Fortress, which was a desperate distance for the flintlock musket at this time.

The ten elite spear-throwing fighters stopped immediately.

The leading elite spear-throwing warrior looked at Cohen indifferently, raised the sharp short spear in his hand, and signaled him to continue walking forward for a distance of 20 meters, and then shouted:

"Stop!"

The two words in unison sounded almost at the same time above and below the city.

It's just that roaring is almost used in the city.

It took Cohen a lot of perseverance to restrain the idea of ​​running away, but even so, he could still feel the pain on his back.

Needless to say, the ten elite spear-throwing warriors at this moment almost locked him firmly.

Seeing this, Cohen took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "I am Jan Cohen, Governor of the East India appointed by the King of the Netherlands. Let Brigadier General Angelo and the directors of the East India Company come out and talk to me."

While speaking, Cohen also deliberately arranged his own image so that everyone on the wall could see his face clearly.

The loud words were transmitted to the city of Batavia in an instant, and the city wall in front of him immediately burst into exclamations.

"God! It's the Governor. It's really His Excellency..."

"Your Excellency the Governor is still alive, he is still alive!"

"Great! Your Excellency the Governor is still alive, God bless the Kingdom of the Netherlands!"

Whether it was ordinary soldiers or the directors of the East India Company, even Angelo's eyes were full of surprise.

Brigadier General Angelo ordered without hesitation:

"Put down the hanging basket quickly, four soldiers come out and follow me down immediately to meet His Excellency the Governor."

"The rest of the shooters will aim at the savages for me, and once I catch up with His Excellency the Governor, shoot them to death for me."

Although, the lookout had already discovered Cohen's existence through the telescope, and also discovered the fact that Cohen was captured.

But it was a big surprise that Cohen didn't die, and being captured was a normal thing.

At this moment, after everyone confirmed the result, they immediately acted according to Brigadier General Angelo's instructions.

Cohen is the god of the entire East India.

On this day, Cohen not only represented the majesty of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but also a pinnacle of stability in everyone's hearts.

If there is Cohen in the city, he doesn't need any gold coins at all, he can inspire everyone's morale.

He is a legend in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

It's just that they don't know what kind of news this legend will bring them.

Soon, Brigadier General Angelo hurriedly led four soldiers down the city wall in a hanging basket, and gradually approached Governor Cohen along the lowered suspension bridge.

At the same time, Angelo also saw clearly the ten elite spear-throwing warriors hanging behind Cohen, glanced at their spears, and immediately turned his head and ordered:

"When I rescue Governor Cohen, you must block the attacks from the barbarians, even if you sacrifice your life, you must save the Governor."

"The Kingdom will never forget your contribution!"

There was no time to hesitate, and the four soldiers had already thought of such a result before they came down.

Whether the Kingdom will forget their contribution, the four of them don't know, but they know that as long as Governor Cohen is saved, the Governor will never forget their contribution.

Immediately, everyone agreed with firm expressions.

While speaking, Angelo led the crowd to a place 20 meters in front of Cohen, so close that everyone could clearly see Cohen's haggard face and eyes that were gradually getting excited.

And the elite spear-throwing fighters who seemed to be still unresponsive in the rear.

However, if Angelo and the others looked carefully, they could see the colder eyes of the elite spear-throwing fighters.

As well as the gradually bulging shoulder muscles under the leather armor, and the exposed large tendons on the arms...

Chapter 108

In the camp, Zhu Youchen turned himself into the perspective of God, looking at the people who started to contact at this moment.

"How would you choose?"

Amidst the mumbling words, there was a playful sneer of a cat catching a mouse on the corner of Zhu Youchen's mouth.

He wasn't worried about Cohen escaping at all, his elite spear-throwing warriors were enough to complete his confession and brought Cohen back smoothly.

As for whether it is a living person or a corpse, it depends on Cohen's own choice...

At this moment, at a distance of 20 meters, Cohen looked at Angelo, who kept blinking, and the four soldiers with firm expressions, and his heart beat faster.

He originally thought that he would not be afraid of death, but now there is an unparalleled longing in his heart.

Even, a very perfect reason has already appeared in his mind.

"I am the governor of the East India. Only by living can I save the entire Batavia and save more people from being killed by that demon."

However, another picture suddenly popped up in his mind, it was the picture of countless captured naval soldiers looking at him eagerly.

"No, I can't abandon them. If I run away, that demon will definitely kill them. I am the governor of the East India, and I have their lives and deaths on my shoulders."

Just the next moment, another voice popped up in his mind, extremely firm but full of temptation.

"Fool! You are the governor of the East India, and they are just ordinary soldiers."

"Only by escaping can you save the whole of Batavia. Compared with the whole of Batavia, what are thousands of naval soldiers?"

"The Kingdom will remember their exploits! It's all for the Kingdom of the Netherlands!"

The voice eventually took over Cohn's mind, and it repeated itself, seemingly getting louder.

Cohen's eyes gradually lit up, and he even read out: .

"I am the governor of the East India, and I must be responsible for the Kingdom of the Netherlands!"

"I must be responsible for more East Indian people!"

"I'm doing all this for the Kingdom of Holland!"

In an instant, the voice in Cohen's mind completely disappeared, and Cohen's expression also became firm and sacred at this moment. He even turned his back to the elite spear-throwing warriors and gave Angelo a positive look.

What's more, he didn't forget to give a look of approval to the four soldiers around who were about to sacrifice for him.

In an instant, Angelo and the four soldiers seemed to have received a signal, suppressed their emotions, and walked towards Cohen step by step.

20 meters, 19 meters, 18 meters...

On the other side, Cohen was so excited that his heart was beating wildly, and the clothes on his chest were obviously ups and downs.

If he hadn't closed his mouth tightly, he would have been a little worried that his heart would jump out of his mouth, and for a moment his heart was roaring non-stop:

"Coming! They're coming!"

He just felt that he was more excited than ever before.

Even when he was awarded the governor of the East India by the king, he was not so excited.

The palms placed on both sides had been placed in front of the body at some point, and gradually clenched into fists, the hot palms were full of sweat.

Excited.

excited.

tension!

This feeling is very similar to when he went to meet the marquise when he was young, even more nervous and exciting than that time, the blood all over his body rushed to his head, his ears gradually became bloodshot and changed color, and his eyes turned red .

What's more, at this moment, Governor Cohen's breathing became much heavier without even realizing it.

"Whoa, whoa!!!"
