Nanzhang County is located at the eastern foot of the Jingshan Mountains, with a high terrain in the west and low terrain in the east. Nanzhang County is located in the eastern plain area of ​​Nanzhang County. It is a river valley plain, with long and narrow strips in the north and south. The entire river valley plain area is surrounded by mountains.

Although the mountains on the east side of Nanzhang County are not very high, the mountains are mountains after all, and people can climb with their bare hands. If they want to carry out transportation, they must walk through the long and curved valley between the mountains.

Originally, a complex terrain like Nanzhang County should have always been a place for military strategists to compete. However, since Nanzhang County is located in the central part of Hubei, the Daba Mountains are difficult to cross to the west, with Han River and Xiangyang City to the north, Jingmen to the south, and Yicheng to the east, so the complex terrain of Nanzhang County has no place to use.

After Ning Yuan led the Condor Air Force to fly over Daba Mountain and occupy Nanzhang County, the terrain there finally became an indestructible barrier.

After ordering the Condor Air Force to quickly capture eight towns in Nanzhang County and guard the exit of the Manhe River west of Wu'an Town, most of Nanzhang County fell into the control of the Condor Air Force.

Now, if you want to counterattack Nanzhang County by land, there are only two roads to choose from. One is the intersection between the Manhe River and the two mountains, and the other is the mountain valley road used to communicate with Nanzhang and Xiangyang.

Both channels are easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as a small number of elite troops are sent to guard the pass, they can block the enemy's millions of soldiers.

Of course, if the enemy dispatches a flying army, the terrain of Nanzhang County will have no effect. They can advance all the way from any direction to the sky above Nanzhang County.

However, what Ning Yuan was most afraid of at this time was the Flying Corps of the Northern Expedition Alliance. He hoped that the Northern Expedition Alliance would quickly send out the remaining Flying Corps.

So when the Nanzhang County town located on the river valley plain fell into his hands, it was basically impossible for the Northern Expedition Alliance to retake it back in a short period of time.

After occupying most of Nanzhang County, Ningyuan immediately arranged the defense work.

He first sent the Silver Pegasus Knights to defend the two land passages, and then immediately began to conduct real surrender operations against the 17,000 elves prisoners of war.

After ordering people to take all the elves of prisoners of war to a farmland outside the city, Ning Yuan rode a silver horse and flew to the front of the prisoners of war.

Scanning the elves with fearful elves, Ning Yuan shouted loudly: "Soldiers of the Elf Clan, I am Ning Yuan, the founding emperor of the Eagle Empire, and the current elves king of the Silver Star Elf Empire and the Golden Empire, and the son-in-law of many powerful elves tribes.

Although my body is a human body, I have a deep connection with the elves, so I am considered half an elves.

Before, because we were each the leader, we fought on the battlefield.

And now? You have become our captives? You have fulfilled the responsibilities and obligations that those who are loyal to you, so we can speak out immediately and freely at this moment.

Our Condor Empire has always been very generous in treating prisoners? As long as you don’t make trouble for us, we will treat you well and let you eat and wear warmth? But you need to serve us for three years.

Of course, this is our attitude towards prisoners under normal circumstances? And now it is an abnormal situation? We cannot send you safely to places where you are serving labor, so we need to make some changes.

Now, there are two ways to choose from before you.

The first way is to immediately swear allegiance to me and join the Condor Army. From then on, you will be a member of the Condor Empire? To build a great empire with me and every warrior of the Condor Empire.

The second way is that I will immediately release those who are unwilling to join the Condor Empire? I will give you three days of dry food, and after that, whether you live or die has nothing to do with us.

If you meet again on the battlefield, you will most likely die under our swords.

Don’t worry, I, Ning Yuan, have always done my best to say anything. No matter which path you choose, I will never regret it.

Of course, if you can choose to join the Condor Empire? I will be even happier to be a member of the Condor Army.

But I have never liked people who are stubborn? So if you want to join the Eagle Empire, you must be sincere.

Okay, now I will give you twenty minutes to consider? Make a choice according to your true intentions.

If you want to join the Condor Empire, you will automatically walk to the rice field in the south? If you want to leave immediately, you will automatically go to the rice field in the north? I will immediately send you dry food and send you safely to the valley road in the mountains.

You must not have any concerns, and must follow your true hearts. I can swear to you in the name of the Elf King that no matter what choice you make, I will not make things difficult for you."

After capturing Nanzhang County and Baokang County, the Condor Heroes needed to defend several passes. It was not enough to rely on the ten thousand ape warriors who smuggled over. So Ning Yuan had to do his job and surrender prisoners again.

"Your Majesty Ning...Yuan Yuan, if I choose to join the Condor Empire, will I have a chance to ride those silver Pegasus?"

As soon as Ning Yuan finished speaking, a young elf ranger in front asked.

Looking at the young elf ranger staring at the silver pegasus under his crotch, Ning Yuan replied with a smile: "After joining the Eagle Empire, you are a member of my Eagle Empire. You can enjoy all the treatment of the elves in the Eagle Empire, and you will naturally have the chance to become a Silver Pegasus Knight.

However, the number of silver pegasus is very rare. If you want to become a silver pegasus knight, you must compete with countless outstanding elves. Only when you finally stand out can you officially become a silver pegasus knight who can soar in the sky."

After hearing Ning Yuan’s reply, the young elf ranger immediately saluted Ning Yuan with gratitude, and then walked towards the rice fields in the south with extraordinary determination.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and as long as someone takes the lead, things will become simple next.

After the young elf ranger was the first to choose to join the Condor Empire, some young elves who were jealous of the silver Pegasus also walked out of the crowd and joined the ranks of the first young elf ranger.

Looking at the elves walking to the rice fields in the south, while the rice fields in the north were still empty, a bright smile immediately appeared on Ning Yuan's face.

"Hello, His Majesty the Emperor of the Eagle Empire, I want to ask you, your army is approaching this time to launch a unified war on this place and occupy it for a long time?"

Just as many young elves chose to join the Condor Empire, a voice suddenly rang out.

Ning Yuan looked in the sound and saw a middle-aged elf whose face had traces of time on his face.

After carefully looking at the calm middle-aged elf, Ning Yuan hugged his arms and replied, "If I said I wasn't sure, would you believe it?"

"I believe, because there is no need for His Majesty to deceive me as an unknown man."

Staring at Ning Yuan's eyes, the middle-aged elf replied with a calm expression.

After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged elves asked again: "Your Majesty, if you cannot occupy this place for a long time, what is the main purpose of your army this time?

If you are inconvenient to answer, then you can pretend that I have not asked."

"Disaster will completely destroy the agricultural production in the entire Hubei region, making this place completely deserted."

Ning Yuan looked at the middle-aged elf and said aloud word by word, his voice full of solemnity.

The Monkey Legion is about to arrive in Nanzhang County, and the destruction operation is about to begin, so Ning Yuan does not need to hide it from it.

After hearing Ning Yuan's answer, the middle-aged elf's face changed immediately. He stared at Ning Yuan's face for a long time, and then slowly asked: "Your Majesty, don't you want this rich fish and rice land?"

"I think, why don't I think? I dream about getting here every day."

When he said that, Ning Yuan smiled happily, but before he could smile for a few seconds, his face suddenly changed.

"But what's the use of thinking just? Does this belong to me now?

Now this land of fish and rice belongs to those you are loyal to. If you want to get this, the soldiers of our Condor Empire must sacrifice their lives here. Many soldiers will sleep on this land and will never wake up.

Now the fish, the rice, and all the resources produced here belong to those you are loyal to, and they will use these resources to kill countless warriors of the Condor Empire.

If that's the case, why should I make this rich fish and rice land for my enemies?

If this place is turned into a barren land, then my enemies will be at the end of their lives, and my soldiers will sacrifice much less.

Since destroying this place can not only hit my enemies, but also reduce the casualties of my soldiers, why don’t I destroy this place first?

The land of fish and rice, hum, only the land that belongs to my Condor Empire is qualified to become a land of fish and rice. Where it does not belong to my Condor Empire does not have this qualification.”

At the end of his speech, Ning Yuan looked like a murderous god, which made middle-aged elves and other prisoners who had not yet made a choice feel chilled.

"Long live your Majesty, long live the Eagle Empire!"

......

As for the soldiers of the Condor Empire, Ning Yuan's words immediately ignited the blood in their hearts, making them feel excited, and making them proud to follow such a king who loves soldiers as much as his son.

Listening to the sound of the coral tsunami-like cheers coming from all around, looking at the fanatical faces of the elves riding on the silver Pegasus, the middle-aged elves had a solemn face.

After sighing a long time, the middle-aged elf raised his arms and signaled to Ning Yuan that he had something to say.

After seeing the movements of the middle-aged elves, Ning Yuan raised his right hand to signal the cheering people to keep quiet, and then looked at the middle-aged elves with a smile on his face.

After calming down again, the middle-aged elves spoke, "Your Majesty, didn't you say you were the Elf King, and you were half an elf?

I dare to ask you, if you turn the entire Jianghan Plain into a desert, how do you plan to place the elves living here? How do you place ordinary people from other races living here?"

After hearing the middle-aged elf’s question, Ning Yuan was immediately surprised and asked directly: “What’s your name?”

"Go back to your Majesty, my name is Simeone Hongye." The middle-aged elf replied.

"Simone, to be honest, I admire your spirit of thinking about the people of the world everywhere, but unfortunately, as the emperor of the Eagle Empire, I can only think about the people of my Eagle Empire first, and then think about other things.

If both cannot be taken into account, then I will definitely choose the interests of the people of the Condor Heroes Empire first. For the people of the Condor Heroes Empire, I can even turn into a bloodthirsty executioner.

So here, I can only say sorry to you and to the people here, because this is a war, and a life-and-death war must be divided.

If you want to blame, you can only blame them for their bad luck and their birth to the wrong country.

But there is one thing I can give you a reassurance, that is, I will not take the initiative to attack the people here.

As long as they don’t come to hinder our Condor Army’s military operations, I can guarantee that the Condor Army will never attack them.”

After hearing Simeone's feelings, Ning Yuan's eyes rolled and he immediately thought of a good idea that could kill two birds with one stone.

"But your Majesty, your army will turn this place into a deserted place. Isn't this equivalent to indirectly killing the people here?

After no source of food, don’t the tens of millions of people here have to wait for death?

At that time, in order to protect your home and to continue to survive, they will definitely have conflicts with the army you accept.

You do this and don’t give them a way out. What’s the difference between killing them directly?

Your Majesty, it is not their fault to be born in this land, because it is something they cannot choose, and the only thing they can choose is to be loyal to the strongest here.

Your Majesty, since you can take in us defeated generals, why can't you take in the people here?

As long as Your Majesty can make the people here live a stable life, I believe they are willing to join Your Majesty's Condor Empire."

Simeone spoke with emotion, hoping that Ning Yuan could change his mind.

But who is Ning Yuan?

He has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years and has seen countless separations of life and death. Those who die directly or indirectly in his hands must be based on ten thousand. How could he be moved by a trick like Simeone?
