The tide had turned, and the rebel leader Alan hesitated for a moment, then immediately handed his weapon to Remon, requesting to surrender.
The anti-rebel troops were somewhat unwilling, but Juan remembered Laine's guidance; seeing the rebel leader surrender, he decided decisively to allow it.
The battle thus ended. Under the stern gaze of the Old Guard and the local nobles, the rebellious peasants came out from their strongholds in groups of three to five, kneeling and surrendering.
The demands of the anti-rebel troops were strict; aside from clothes, bedding, and some pots and pans, no weapons were allowed, not even suspicious items like hoes or pitchforks. All gold, silver, jewels, and items with religious significance were also to be handed over.
Anyone caught concealing items would face immediate execution without exception.
Though the order was very strict, the rebellious peasants actually felt relieved upon hearing it.
