Rise of the Empire Total War

"By the order of Holy Caesar, the Danish Legion, march!"

Warships carrying heavily armed Danish soldiers departed from Cuban Island, crossed the Kuban Strait, and arrived at Bell Port, which had actually been included in Richard's rule.

This is a powerful army that left its lair and went to the Ravana battlefield under the order of Richard.

"General Charles, the commander of the scout cavalry, Sandor, has led the scout cavalry to leave Port Belle first, to investigate intelligence in the direction of Ravana."

In the berthing area of ​​Port Bell, General Charles, who had just stepped off the warship, was taken aback for a moment when he heard the report from his entourage, and quickly reacted, saying: "I see, let the soldiers speed up the landing, His Majesty's army has entered Ravana We are in the territory, we must join him as soon as possible.”

"Understood, General."

After the entourage retreated, General Charles looked at the groups of soldiers running down from the deck of the warship, and couldn't help but think of the order received from Richard a few days ago. Richard, who was on an expedition, has not encountered any resistance since entering the Margaret Territory, as if entering and leaving no one's land, he passed through the area in just a few days and entered the Ravana area.

Of course, Richard, who left the area, left a lot of "gifts" to the people of Mafugat, villages and towns with empty defenses were donated by the cavalry of the Royal Army who came and went like the wind, and those who dared to resist They were all executed, and a large amount of wealth and food was taken away.

If it weren't for the fact that the baron's castles were too strong to attack, it would be impossible for Richard to let go of these little nobles who were disloyal to the royal family.

After entering the Ravana area, Richard unfurled Stephanie's banner and launched a war of succession against the usurper Bundak. In the next few days, he received the support of some minor nobles who were still nostalgic for the old king. Respond, but more nobles remain neutral, they do not support Bandark nor Stephanie.

Facing Richard's attack, Bundak seemed a little caught off guard. He didn't expect that the opponent would move out the flag of Stephanie. What made him more concerned was that the pawn placed in Bell Port returned, and Richard from Cuban Island German forces have begun to mobilize and are massing toward Port Belle.

Hasn't all his main force been brought to the Kingdom of Ramirez? Why is there still a large number of troops on Cuban Island that can be used?

This question has been haunting Bundak, making him puzzled, but his attention quickly shifted to how to resist Richard's attack.

According to reports from spies, Richard's army is about 8,000, of which more than 3,000 soldiers are surrendered soldiers and strong men who act as cannon fodder, and the remaining more than 5,000 are elite veterans who retired from the Ramirez battlefield.

According to the news from Port Bell, the army mobilized on Cuban Island also has 5,000 soldiers, although I don't know where Richard got so many soldiers.

Looking at it this way, the total number of troops owned by Richard is about 13,000, while the total number of troops assembled by Bundak in the capital is only nearly 10,000, and even among the nearly 10,000 soldiers, there are not many The few can only call 666 salted fish behind.

That's right, these salted fish are the soldiers led by Mafugat under the cowardly MacPherson. They all say that the soldiers are raging and will be raging in the nest. This sentence is very appropriate for the Mafugat army. Commanded by the cowardly Earl, the soldiers lost their faith in fighting.

Fortunately, Bandak did not fight alone. The envoy he sent to persuade King Jutian of Winster sent good news. He successfully persuaded Zhutian to send troops. In exchange, Bandak should bear all military expenses, and paid 50,000 Morse coins as a reward.

Fifty thousand morse coins are a bit heavy for the current Bundak, but it is worth it to annihilate Richard. Even so, Bundak still silently remembered Zhu Tian's lion's mouth in his heart. Eliminating Richard is something that Zhu Tian has always been thinking about. It is obviously a win-win situation, but it has to be like this.

On the other hand, in order to eliminate Richard, the remnant of the previous dynasty who threatened his rule, King Jutian of Winster ordered to mobilize half of the country's army,

The development speed of the exiled prince in the past was beyond his expectation, which made him feel deeply afraid.

Six years ago, Richard, who escaped from Nord, was surrounded by only a few dozen Janissaries soldiers, but in six years, he actually rose up in a foreign country and became the earl of the two places in name, actually ruling the territory But there are more than two places, and the entire eastern part of the Ravana Kingdom is under his rule.

In addition, he also holds a powerful army in his hands. Judging from his terrifying development speed, if he is not killed as soon as possible, I am afraid that in a few more years, he may even be able to counterattack with his own strength and regain the throne that should belong to him.

Thinking of this, Ju Tian could not sleep at night, deeply worried.

But fortunately, he still holds a trump card in his hand...

Thinking of the hole card, Jutian's eyes lit up, a lewd smile appeared on his face, and he quickly returned to normal. Followed by the guards, he walked to the Gabriel Tower behind the Ippolito Palace. This is a towering tower. The tall tower that enters the clouds, although it is not as magnificent as the Tongtian Tower in Ravana City, it can still overlook the entire Nord City.

In Gabriel Tower, there is a very important prisoner. No one knows the identity of this prisoner except Jutian, but the only thing outsiders know is that he usurped the throne in Jutian. It was closed later.

Asking the guards to wait under the tower, Jutian walked into the Gabriel Tower alone. He looked at the portraits of the Stuart kings carved on the stone wall inside the tower, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then walked up the stairs. .

There are 18 floors in the Gabriel Tower, starting from the fifth floor are the cells for detaining prisoners. Since the completion of the tower, there were only eight prisoners at the time—the number of people who could be imprisoned in the Gabriel Tower They are basically members of the royal family who have failed in political struggles. The most distinguished person in history is the elder brother of Richard's great-grandfather. He was imprisoned in this tower by his own brother in a coup, and spent the rest of his life from then on.

And now, since Jutian became king, Gabriel Tower has held only one mysterious prisoner.

Stepping on the dust-free steps, Jutian quickly came to the fifth floor. He looked in through the peephole on the iron door, and after confirming that the prisoner was lying on the bed, he took out the key from his pocket and opened the iron lock. , Pushing the door open, a damp smell came to the nostrils - there was only one small window the size of a human head on the wall of the cell, and there was very little sunlight that could pass through it, so most of this cell was in a dark place Happening.

Looking at the prisoner who was awakened by the sound of unlocking the lock, the corners of Zhu Tian's mouth raised, he put the key back in his pocket leisurely, and strode into the dark cell...

(Let's guess who this mysterious prisoner is?)
