Rise of the Empire Total War

When King Nicocres II of Pravia was brought by the soldiers, the old king was still maintaining his last dignity, but Richard was not going to show him face, he sat on the back of a war horse , looking down on the old king with the eyes of a victor, and said: "King Nikcres, it is a pleasure to meet you again, especially under such circumstances."

"Richard, you won. You captured me again. I have nothing to say." The old king said bluntly. He was not convinced that he was taken directly to the capital for the first time. Not very convinced, but he also admitted his weakness. To be precise, he recognized Richard's strength-after all, Richard defeated the main force of the coalition forces.

However, Richard didn't care whether he was convinced or not. Richard sneered and said, "King Nickress, I gave you a chance before and agreed to sign the contract even when our army is superior. It makes you feel at ease to fight the Lushino people. But you still choose to entangle other countries to fight against me, which is really disappointing."

"Needless to say." King Nicres waved his hand and said, "Richard, you won this time. You can freely choose how to deal with us. You don't need to waste time here with useless words."

"You're right, King Nicrest, I really don't need to waste time with you here with empty words." Richard nodded, he stretched his neck, and said, "So, in order to avoid The Kingdom of Via violated the contract again and provoked a war, and I decided to bring the Kingdom of Pravia under my rule."

"What?" King Nikcres was shocked, and said hastily: "No, you can't do this! My nobles and subjects will not agree!"

"I don't bother you to worry about this, King Nikcres——no, it should be called Lord Nikcres Pravia from now on?" The smile on Richard's face was inconvenient, and his smile was in the eyes of the other party, but Worse than a devil's smile.

As soon as he heard that it was going to be true, Nicres immediately panicked. He swallowed his saliva and said in a hurried tone: "Richard, no, His Majesty Richard, as long as you keep my throne, I am willing to submit to you forever." You, together with my descendants, will be your most loyal vassals!"

"It's too late, Nicolas Pravia, it's too late." Richard shook his head pretending to be regretful, and said, "Besides, I've never heard of a king being able to become another king's vassal." , this is against the rules. (I don’t seem to have seen this kind of thing in ck2, and I don’t know if there is a precedent)”

"I……"

Hearing this, Nikcres froze and stood there speechless, but taking advantage of this moment, Richard waved his hand and said to the soldiers behind the old king: "Take our former king Nikcres Your Excellency take it away, and his family,

Take them all back to Nord City. "

"Of order, Your Majesty Caesar." A few soldiers responded, and they left with Nicres' arms between their arms. After walking a few steps, the old king suddenly woke up and struggled violently, trying to break free from the soldiers' shackles, but he How could a body of more than half a hundred compare to two strong soldiers, but he was forcibly taken away.

Unable to break free, Nickres only had one mouth to move, and he could only hear him cursing Richard loudly in disregard of his image, using the most vicious words, but Richard was not annoyed at all, this kind of thing The lethality of cursing in this way is too small. If it is placed in the Celestial Dynasty, countless cursing languages ​​will teach him to be a human being.

After King Nicres left, another person was escorted by the soldiers. When he approached, it was a strange face. Just when Richard was puzzled, the other person opened his mouth and introduced himself: "Dear Richard King Chad, I am Titos Axman, King of the Kingdom of Swachic, you have defeated me, and I am willing to surrender to you."

"King Swachic?" Richard was taken aback for a moment, and was about to ask why the other party appeared in Suken City and was captured by him, but he quickly thought that there seemed to be the Kingdom of Swachitch among the countries participating in the war, so he asked He nodded and said, "King Axman, I accept your surrender. According to the "Law of Nobles", you will receive sufficient preferential treatment. As long as your country sends a ransom, you will be free immediately."

"Then please allow me to write a letter and ask for the ransom from my court steward." King Titos said flatly, without the slightest embarrassment about being a captive. No wonder, in the eyes of these nobles, , It is common sense to surrender if you can't beat it.

However, King Titos' calm face quickly changed, because he saw Prince Randall of Rogel Principality who was following Richard. He had met the latter several times in the army. Naturally there is an impression.

"His Royal Highness Prince Randall? Why are you here?" He asked suspiciously.

"Uh..." Recognized by the former commander, Randall looked a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, thought for a while, and told the truth, "Your Majesty King Titos, I am now His Majesty Richard's Lieutenant General."

"What? You surrendered to the Winsters?" King Titos was taken aback. He didn't know what happened in the Principality of Rogel. In his eyes, Randall was still the first heir to the Principality of Rogel.

"Yes, His Majesty King Titos, this matter is a bit long..."

As Randall said, he told King Titos about his experience. Anyway, he had already taken refuge in Richard, so there was no need to hide this kind of thing. It just happened to let more people know about his father's wickedness. OK.

"I see." After listening to the young prince's narration, King Titos nodded, he was a little hesitant to speak, but he still said: "Prince Randall, I hope you will not give up for the decision you made. Regret."

"I will, Your Majesty."

Then, King Titos also left here under the escort of the soldiers. After a while, the battle report of the siege was completed and handed to Richard.

Due to the cover of artillery and long-range troops, the enemy guarding the city did not leave much resistance, and they were defeated by the soldiers of the First Legion with high morale. They either took off their armor and fled into the maze-like alleys, or surrendered on their knees. , so the loss of the First Army was almost negligible. They exchanged nearly 100 casualties for more than 800 corpses of defenders and nearly 2,000 prisoners. Although these nobles could not be thrown into the mines like ordinary captives, they could still bring Richard a lot of ransom.

In addition, the soldiers also found a large amount of wealth brought by the royal family when they fled in the warehouse of the city lord's mansion in Suken City. Although the wealth has not been clearly counted, its value is expected to be higher than 50,000 silver coins.
