"Surrendered? Why did they surrender?" When Leo heard the latest news about the war from Sylvia, he was extremely surprised, because the result was so unexpected.

Less than a month has passed since the day Sylvia officially announced the war. The frontline battle has just entered its first stage. Sylvia's holy pattern army only opened a gap in the isolation zone.

, has established a relatively stable outpost in the central zone, and has not officially launched an attack on the city-state tribes in the central zone. The city-state tribes in the central zone have not suffered too many losses, and there are still a large number of troops and warriors available, and they are fully capable of fighting with Sylvie.

Ya's army continued to fight for a long time.

Another point is that the city-state tribes in the central area have mastered some technological weapons that are far ahead of their times. Although most of these weapons are individual weapons and are not enough to change the trend of the entire war, they are enough to control the situation in a small area.

The final victory or defeat was determined on the battlefield, and these weapons have still not been used. This obviously shows that the city-state tribes in the central area have not yet reached the end of their rope, let alone the time to surrender.

Leo then guessed: "Could they be pretending to surrender and preparing to launch a fatal sneak attack while you are relaxed? For example, they will continue to discuss the opportunity to negotiate a surrender agreement until they find out what yours is, and then directly use decapitation tactics to take advantage of them.

The aircraft carrying their most elite warriors and weapons will fly to the Thresh Tribe to assassinate you. You must know that the core of the so-called Holy Pattern Kingdom is you. As long as you are gone, this Holy Pattern Kingdom will collapse immediately.

.”

"There is a possibility, but it is unlikely because they took the initiative to hand over the aircraft." Sylvia shook her head, denying Leo's guess, and then directly revealed the answer, saying: "I carefully

We sent people to check and confirmed that they had really surrendered. There were two reasons why they surrendered so quickly, one at a time. The secondary reason was the disappearance of the three major city-states and the Holy Tower. Their disappearance caused the central government to surrender.

Most of the high-tech equipment in the hands of the regional tribal city-states can no longer be used, including the aircraft. Without those equipment and weapons, it is impossible for the city-states and tribes in the central area to resist my legendary warrior army. And the other main reason is

It’s the city-state tribes in the central region who are almost running out of food.”

"The food is almost gone?" Leo was stunned when he heard this, obviously not understanding the reason.

Sylvia continued to explain: "Although the tribal city-states in the central region will also grow some grains, these grains are special grains specially used for the enjoyment of the powerful. The grain produced by those grains is extremely scarce, and it is not enough for the powerful to enjoy themselves. What's more,

It is impossible for ordinary people to eat, and their food is mainly grown by the tribes on the outer plains. They purchase a batch every once in a while, and the quantity purchased is not large. Perhaps because they think that the tribes on the outer plains cannot produce anything.

Even if a few tribes are in trouble and unable to purchase food, they can still purchase it from other tribes, so there is no need to worry about food shortages, and naturally there is no habit of stockpiling food."

Leo quickly understood what Sylvia was going to say, and continued: "This time you unified the outer plain tribes very quickly, and the city-state tribes in the central area were unable to respond at all. As a result,

That is, even if they think about the food problem later, they will not be able to purchase any more food. Secondly, they feel that their coalition forces can easily defeat your army, and they think that as long as they defeat your army, they can directly grab food from the outer plains.

, there will be no food crisis at all, but their prediction was wrong."

"Yes." Sylvia nodded and said: "The final result of the miscalculation is that now the food in their hands has been almost exhausted. According to the information I collected, not only the people from the city-state tribes

There is no food to eat, and even the troops on the front line have no food to eat. I have just received battle reports that a large number of troops have surrendered in several war zones. Now they have publicly stated that in addition to the idea of ​​​​surrender, they should have really arrived.

They are at the end of their rope, so they feel that by surrendering now, they may be able to retain some status in the kingdom in the future."

Although it was a bit unexpected that the city-state tribes in the central area were unable to fight the war just after it started, but after careful analysis, it is also reasonable. As for the two reasons that led to the surrender, Leo felt that the problem of food may not be

The main reason, the real main reason should be the disappearance of the three major city-states and the Holy Tower, resulting in the inability to use the high-tech weapons and equipment in their hands.

On his way to the three major city-states and the Holy Tower, Leo also stopped near the tribes of those city-states. He checked the situation there through the spiritual network and knew what high-tech weapons were in the hands of those in power. Naturally, he was also very familiar with it.

If they know which weapons can be used normally, those in the central area may still have the idea of ​​​​fighting, but now their trump card is suddenly gone, and Sylvia has already shown her legendary warrior legion.

Come out, facing this overwhelming superiority of combat power, the people in power in the central area have no other choice, either to surrender or to perish.

"Isn't this just more in line with your plan requirements?" Leo thought for a moment and said, "If the central area loses too much power, the final effect of your plan may be greatly reduced."

Sylvia heard Leo's words, thought for a moment, and smiled and nodded in agreement.

As Leo said, only an evenly matched war can last a long time and create more chaos. If the city-state tribes in the central area do not surrender according to the original plan, then even if the unification of the Cracked Plains is finally completed,

, then the city-state tribes in the central area will also suffer heavy losses. At that time, Sylvia will need to use some radical methods to prompt the city-state tribes in the central area to quickly recover their strength, and will they finally be able to recover enough to peace with the tribes on the periphery of the plains?

It is unclear how they can compete with each other. All in all, in the end, it is likely that the outer plains tribes will join forces to eliminate the city-state tribes in the central area, and then start a civil war among themselves. In this case, the benefits she will ultimately receive will be much less.

Now it is only in the early stages of the war that the city-state tribes in the central area have not really suffered losses. This makes Sylvia basically need to use longer time and special means to restore their strength. They can form it after completing the initial reception.

She can leave the legendary warrior legion belonging to the city-state tribes in the central region as long as the formation of the legion is completed. The conflicts and chaos that will occur here will probably be several times or even dozens of times more intense than what she planned.

Although analysis with Leo confirmed that the surrender of the city-state tribes in the central area was not a fake, Sylvia still did not accept the surrender of the city-state tribes immediately. Instead, she methodically persuaded the frontline troops who had begun to run out of food to surrender.

They also offered some seemingly excessive surrender conditions, such as requiring the disbandment of city-state and tribal guards, requiring tribal armies to take over the military camps and fortresses set up by various city-state tribes, and the leaders of each city-state tribe must come to the Thresh Tribe in person to sign the terms.

Surrender agreement, etc., and then sent people to the central area for negotiations.

At first, the leaders of the city-state tribes in the central area were extremely resistant to the conditions proposed by Sylvia, and even pretended to fight to the death against the envoys sent. However, as most of the frontline troops surrendered

, the isolation zone was completely controlled by the Holy Mark Army. The Holy Mark Army built more than a dozen outposts near the isolation zone. Tens of thousands of legendary warriors appeared at the forefront of each position in the form of legions. Everyone was

Knowing that the situation was over, all the conditions proposed by Sylvia were finally accepted, and those in power also came to the Thresh Tribe along with the negotiation mission.

The leaders of these central city-state tribes had already prepared for the worst before coming here. Most of them never thought that they would be able to go back, and they didn't even think that their families could still hold power. They just hoped that they would be able to go back.

Their voluntary surrender can exchange for certain benefits for their family in the future Holy Pattern Kingdom, so that their family will not decline. But what they never expected was that Sylvia did not deprive them of their power, but instead allowed them to

She joined the Senate, the power center of the Holy Pattern Kingdom, and became a kingdom senator. In addition, she also promised that she would not deprive these families of their control over their respective city-states and tribes, and would return the military power of the city-states and tribes to them in the future.

, that is to say, except for changing the name and adding an extra queen, they didn't lose anything.

The regained power and Sylvia's tolerance made the leaders of the city-state tribes who had always been frightened feel inexplicably grateful. Coupled with Sylvia's own personal beauty and absolute suppression of life forms, these people who had been afraid of her not long ago were inexplicably grateful.

The people in power that Sylvia hated so much all showed strong feelings of worship, and many even showed signs of becoming believers. Especially after obtaining the totem artifacts given by Sylvia, some of them

And the powerful people in the tribe who are shamans, priests, etc. have begun to decide to worship Sylvia as a god.

Under the influence of this emotion, Sylvia's takeover of the central city-state tribes became extremely smooth. The annexation plan that was originally thought to take several months to complete was completed in less than ten days.

Basically, a temporary military camp has been set up at the junction of all city-state tribes. The military camp is filled with legendary warriors. In addition, the defense of the main garrison of each city-state tribe has also been temporarily taken over by the army of the surrounding plains tribes.

Moreover, with Sylvia's deliberate indulgence, the armies of the outer plains tribes regarded themselves as victors. After taking over the defense, they also did a lot of evil things, which quickly deepened the conflict between the central city-state tribes and the outer plains tribes.

Hatred.

After all the military power of the city-state tribes in the central area collapsed, Sylvia let the leaders of those city-state tribes leave and returned to their respective city-state tribes to promote the rule of the Holy Pattern Kingdom. In fact, they, the leaders, needed to do

There are very few things to do, just make adjustments according to some etiquette and systems established by Sylvia, such as the Parliament of the Holy Pattern Kingdom, erecting totem wonders in the center of the town, etc. are all superficial efforts, but in fact

The management and governance systems of various city-state tribes have not changed. What was before will remain the same in the future.

In addition to these trivial chores, the most important thing is to select and prepare legendary warriors and re-recruit the city-state tribal armies. However, the re-recruited armies are no longer named after their respective tribes, but replaced by Sylvia.

The name of the legion was also superficial in a certain sense.

Naturally, the leaders of various city-state tribes fully agreed with the re-recruitment of the army. They all knew that whether they had an army on hand was closely related to the power they held. What's more, Sylvia promised them that once their army was rebuilt, they would

The defense of the city-state tribes was handed back to them. Now the armies of the outer plain tribes have made a mess of the city-state tribes. If these people are allowed to stay, I am afraid that they will eventually take over a ruined city.

Although the leaders of the city-state tribes cooperated extremely well with the various matters regarding the re-recruitment of the army and completed the preliminary recruitment of the army in a short period of time, they were somewhat resistant to another thing that needed to be completed.

In the past, legendary warriors have always been a force that only those in power could control, but now if they really follow Sylvia's instructions, then they will inevitably lose control of these important combat forces.

If the weapons and equipment they had on hand from the three major city-states and the Holy Tower could still be used before, they would not be too worried about losing the control of the legendary warriors. After all, those weapons could kill the legendary warriors, but now those weapons

The equipment is almost useless, and they don't have enough means on hand to compete with a large number of legendary warriors, which makes them worry about whether their legendary warriors will eventually replace them.

Under this kind of worry, they chose to delay all matters related to the selection of preliminary legendary warriors. If they could not delay, they would try to see whether people from their respective families could join the preliminary legendary warriors, thereby increasing the number of legendary warriors in their own families.

However, no matter how much they delayed, the legendary warrior army that was supposed to appear in the central area was still being formed in an orderly manner, and as the new armies of the city-state tribes were formed, the defense of these city-state tribes also began to be transferred to the newly formed armies.

For the various chiefs of the peripheral plain tribes, they naturally did not dare to oppose Sylvia's order and refused to hand over their defense, but dissatisfaction still arose in their hearts, but this dissatisfaction was not directed at Sylvia, but at

The leaders of the city-state tribes secretly launched some targeted robberies when they were transferred to defense. Although these robberies did not cause much damage, they undoubtedly deepened the hatred between the central area and the outer plains.
