Crusader Kings: Prisoners of War

In many ways, Ivar is a more traditional northerner, pragmatic but passionate about heroes, legends, adventures, conquests and other topics. Naturally, he will not have many negative comments about his grandfather.

Orville said with a bit of evil humor: "Then it sounds like your grandfather and Jeanne Dacre still have something in common."

Ivar definitely didn't understand what Orville meant. How could he know that a certain future work would pair his grandfather with the saint Joan of Arc? If he had known, he would probably have paired up with Astolfo and Buenos Aires next door. Dika teamed up to go to a company headquarters to kill people.

Therefore, he could only respond casually: "Maybe."

After satisfying his bad taste for a while, Orville quickly brought the topic back on track: "Let's get down to business, how much do you think Cu Chulainn has your grandfather's style?"

The person responsible for assassinating Antonis in the future will be Cu Chulainn, Orville's man with the strongest individual combat ability. As a first-class hero in the Irish epic, Cu Chulainn is still first-class even if he does not use the unstable madness skill. A good player, both in talent and skill.

If it were to assassinate an ordinary person, he would definitely be able to do it, but Antonis was also a gifted person, and his strength was not very strong, but it was far superior to ordinary people. Orville was really not sure whether he could take it down. Next to the Governor's Palace was the legion station. This is the true sense of taking the lead among all armies.

Ivar was not worried about this: "Please don't worry. In terms of bravery, there are few people in the north who can match him. If Cú Chulainn can't do this, neither can anyone else. Please be kind to your men." Some trust, Cu Chulainn dares to accept this task, because he has something to rely on, you might as well think about how to reward him with treasures. "

Thinking of the undecided future, Orville sighed melancholy and said, "I hope so, we will know the result tonight. Have all your troops dispersed?"

"We are divided into ten teams and are ready to take action spontaneously upon your orders. This city is too big and too bloated. It will not be easy for the other party to catch us. When the situation becomes chaotic, we will go to Soros Island to meet you. Just wait for the good news.”

"Very well, stay vigilant, remember my instructions, and don't do anything unnecessary."

"Of course, we all know the rules. You are here to start a business, not to destroy." Ivar sincerely complimented Orville.

"I hope...Fortunately, I trust Minerva. She shouldn't mind what I'm about to do." Orville could only convince himself this way.

——

That night, near the brightly lit Governor's Palace, Cu Chulainn took advantage of the gap between the patrolling soldiers to quietly climb the wall and climb into the Governor's Palace.

The long-term stability has made the soldiers here less vigilant. After all, there are indeed not many enemies here that are worthy of vigilance. This slackness gave Cu Chulainn an opportunity. He was wearing dark clothes and dodged a few enemies. A servant coming and going easily approached the governor's residence. He came to the side of the traditional Roman courtyard, climbed up the inner wall of the courtyard with a little effort, and then walked quietly from the ceiling to the top of the atrium. Observe what happens below.

The life of Governor Antonis was considered very luxurious. At this time, the atrium was still very bright with torches, and he could see the banquets on the long table behind the Roman columns. Cu Chulainn did not understand the difference in clothing of the Romans, but his eyes could. It is easy to target the person who looks the most luxuriously dressed and has the highest status.

After finding the target, he did not rush to take action. Instead, he lay down and began to observe the situation and plan an escape route for himself.

After Cu Chulainn confirmed the surrounding situation, he tightened the short spear in his hand, quietly stood up and pointed the tip of the spear at Antonis, who was relaxing and enjoying life.

After finding the right position, he took a deep breath, held the back end of the spear tip with his waist and horse together, kicked the ground with his feet, and used all his strength to push the short spear out.

The short spear flew out with extremely high speed and amazing explosive power. The speed was so fast and the situation was so sudden that Antonis could not react at all.

The spearhead penetrated his chest directly, nailing his whole body to the ground. After penetrating the human body, the spearhead even penetrated deeply into the marble floor, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the surrounding floor.

The surrounding attendants subconsciously exclaimed, and Cu Chulainn did not waste any time. After ensuring that the opponent was killed, he quickly jumped off the roof, ran out of the governor's residence, and climbed over the courtyard wall before the soldiers surrounded him. The Governor's Palace penetrates into the city with complex environment.

The death of Antonis alarmed the soldiers of the entire legion. They poured out of the military camp and searched for the murderer in a panic. At this time, the shortcomings of insufficient training on weekdays became apparent.

As soon as the legion commander gave the order, the army was dispatched in a chaotic manner. There was no so-called division of labor and organization at all. The centurions did not play their role, and the soldiers at the grassroots level acted like headless flies. Once the army started to move, the structure of the army began to fall apart.

The scout who was on the sidelines discovered the chaos in the military camp and lit the firewood pile to report the news. The scattered teams received the signal and immediately began to take action.

Stiliko took the main force and rushed directly to Soros Island in a rented transport ship. The commander stationed in this fortress was also a talented person. He did not intend to give up control of the fortress for nothing. If the communication between the two parties failed, start immediately. Fierce fighting.

His personal bravery was not bad, but it was difficult to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the army. Most people did not wear weapons and equipment when the Romans rushed to the beach. Many people even ate, drank and had fun in the small town on the island. Their military literacy was far inferior to the legionnaires who trained every day and fought every year, thinking about how to kill people all day long. The result of the confrontation between the two sides was one-sided.

After a few soldiers with the will to resist were killed on the spot, most of the remaining people lost their will to fight and became prisoners.

The commander of the opponent was a good hand in single combat, but after all, he was not a mythical hero like Achilles and Hercules, and could not block the spear with his body.

Under the siege of spears and bows and arrows, the opponent could only die on the spot, and Stilicho successfully occupied the fortress on Soros Island. Then they quickly began to familiarize themselves with the environment on the island, control the residents of the small town on the island, and prepare to defend it.

Orville is worried about angering the Ptolemaic royal family, so he is relatively restrained now. However, restraint does not mean putting himself in a dangerous position. Taking over Soros Island is something that must be done. Otherwise, once the people sent by Antonius or the Ptolemaic royal family launch an attack, Orville's side will be completely defenseless. Even if he can fight with a few thousand people, it will be difficult to defeat tens of thousands of people head-on. No one will put his personal safety in the hands of the enemy. It is necessary to use force at this time.
