Rise of the Empire Total War

"Snow, it's really big."

Seeing the snowflakes falling on his hands and feeling the coldness on his skin, Richard couldn't help but whispered that he misses Cuban Island, Stephanie in Nord City, and Lasik in the outskirts of Nord Princess Raphne, the exotic mistress.

At this moment, Richard heard a slight sound of footsteps behind him. He turned slightly, and before he could see the figure of the person coming, he heard the words of the person coming: "Your Majesty Caesar, the battle report from the front, Charles the Military Chief The earl has already led an army to capture Gurkini, an important town in the southern part of the principality of Roger, and captured the earl Melville's family. Our army only killed dozens of people, killed more than 200 enemy troops, and captured 326 people."

"Is there a report from the Teutonic Knights?" Richard nodded slightly and asked the visitor.

"Not yet, but King Hymes has sent someone to invite you to an appointment, and he will hold a banquet at Skimpey Palace tonight..."

"Oh?" Richard was a little interested when he heard that Hymis would invite him to a banquet, so he turned his head to look at the person who came, and continued to ask, "What else did he say?"

"No." The other party answered truthfully.

"Yes." Richard nodded, and said, "Go and tell the envoy of King Hymes that I agree to his invitation, and I will go tonight as promised."

"As ordered."

Seeing the man retreat, Richard sat casually on a chair covered with velvet products. Because of the return of King Hemis, he moved out of Skimpy Palace and lived not far from the palace. In fact, he didn't have to move out, but he didn't want to feel constrained, and living under the same roof with the Haimis family always felt very involuntary.

That's what he said, but he thought of the two porcelain doll-like princesses of King Hymes, and he never had a chance to get close to them. This made Richard very regretful. He is not a "pervert" with special hobbies. When a normal person sees a cute little girl, they will have the idea of ​​touching their heads and pinching their faces, but if they have the idea of ​​being cute and wanting to date, they are really perverted pedophiles. And he belongs to the former one.

"Come on, change my clothes!" Richard shouted to the door.

...

The night came soon, and the inside and outside of the Skinby Palace was brightly lit. Although it hadn't come out from the haze of the war, the traces on the surface hadn't been removed. The court steward also purchased a large amount of food and fine wine through various channels. The nobles of the city, the famous clown jugglers and the theater troupe were all invited to this first banquet after Hymes returned.

When the time was almost up, Richard rushed to the palace in a carriage. Around his carriage was a group of elite imperial knights on foot, and more than a dozen nobles also dressed in exquisite attire. These nobles were all members of the First Legion. The brigade commanders of each brigade, those who can become brigade commanders, are either outstanding in ability or high in title, or both, no matter what their situation is, they are now nobles who are called Richard Pulled over together.

Richard's luxurious ostentation was the most eye-catching among all the invited guests. When the nobles saw Richard's carriage approaching, they all signaled the driver to step aside to make room for him. They did not dare to offend the god of death. Since the founding of the Kingdom of Deira, he was the first foreigner to lead an army to conquer the capital.

When they came outside the palace gate, they were stopped by Hemis' Imperial Guards. They asked about their identities as a matter of routine, and then they were let in by the trembling Imperial Guards. Richard didn't bother with them. He finally What I like is this kind of conscientious person. Of course, for safety reasons, the group of foot imperial knights who followed Richard were not allowed to enter. As Richard's guards, they were led to a special place for the guards to rest, but with their presence, those nobles Whether the guards can rest well is an unsolved mystery.

Everything in Skinby Palace is the same as before he left, only because the traces left by the battle have been skillfully repaired or covered up, so that outsiders can't see what happened here, but others don't know, Richard and The dozen or so brigade commanders beside him knew this very well, and they nodded and commented on the palace, being very critical.

Richard was a little helpless, but he didn't make a sound to stop him. After arriving at the parking spot of the carriage, he opened the curtain, and a chill rushed in, dispelling the original warmth. He frowned slightly, leaned out, stepped on the The back of the servant who served as a footboard returned to the ground. The snow on the ground obviously showed traces of cleaning, only a shallow layer.

"Let's go." Richard tidied up his clothes, and then said to the nobles who were from the military. He didn't take it seriously, and followed the fairly normal Richard all the way up the steps, step by step into the palace hall.

Before entering, Richard and the others heard the sound of musical instruments coming from the hall, as well as people talking and laughing. Richard paused, and turned to look at the nobles behind him. These Germanic nobles under him are not as "gentlemen" as the nobles in this world. These Germanic nobles still retain a little brutality (in fact, not only Germanic nobles, The nobles in Europe at the same time were almost like this. After all, every time a war broke out, they had to personally lead the troops and fight on the field, unlike the nobles in this world who just watched the show behind and handed over the fighting to knights and soldiers).

"When you go in later, you have to pay attention to your image, you represent the Kingdom of Winster." Richard told them, "Although the nobles of the Kingdom of Deira are weak, you can't express it clearly. Just say something later, don’t say it in front of them.”

"Understood, His Majesty Caesar." The nobles looked at each other, and then agreed in unison.

Richard had some headaches. They agreed very happily, but he always felt that he could not be completely relieved. These nobles were good at fighting, but their emotional intelligence was not very high. Diplomatic relations are tense-although they are completely unafraid of going to war, the Kingdom of Deira is just a piece of meat on the chopping board in his opinion.

After thinking about it, Richard still decided to believe them, and said, "Let's go." After he finished speaking, he turned around and stepped on the last few steps, leading more than a dozen military nobles behind him into the lively palace hall.

As soon as their figures appeared in the hall, they attracted everyone's attention. Everyone's eyes were on Richard and the nobles behind him. Even the chattering noble women shut their mouths. For a while, There is no sound in the hall except the sound of musical instruments and theater troupe performances!
