Rise of the Empire Total War

"It's a formidable enemy."

Looking at the mess on the city wall, the fragments of human bodies that were torn apart, and the wounded soldiers screaming miserably while covering their wounds, Robert couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It's no wonder that he expressed such emotion that his own side suffered such a big blow, but he didn't even see the other side's face. He could only see the flashes of flames, accompanied by deafening bangs, and then they were attacked. This kind of attack is regardless of the target. Sometimes the city wall is attacked and a deep hole is smashed out, and sometimes the soldiers on the city wall are attacked. As long as they come into contact with that kind of solid iron ball, they will be seriously injured. Or the buildings in the urban area were affected, smashed through the load-bearing walls and then collapsed, burying all the civilians inside.

And this so-called "witchcraft" was also deciphered by Robert. He ordered people to find out the black spots that flew into the city and showed them to all the soldiers. Because of this, the shape of the iron ball changed, and a little blood was stained on it.

Seeing this iron ball, Robert's first reaction was that it was launched by a trebuchet, but he quickly rejected this idea, because the movement caused by the launch was not something that a trebuchet could make. What should it be? It is a new type of weapon, and it is more powerful than the trebuchet. After all, the trebuchet cannot directly smash a deep hole on the surface of the solid city wall-not only that, but after several hours of bombardment, cracks have already appeared on the surface of a section of the city wall. There is no doubt that if it is bombarded for a few more hours, it will really be smashed down.

In addition to worrying about the city wall, he couldn't help worrying about the morale problem. The soldiers have been shaken by the new weapons. Save your life, but this kind of solid iron ball can directly smash through battlements and towers. If you are unlucky, even if you hide anywhere, you will only have a dead end.

"Ah!" He couldn't help sighing, and asked several officers to take charge of the affairs on the city wall, then turned around and walked down the city wall, and walked towards the barracks. The streets are full of rubbish, there are many building debris, and occasionally a few bullet craters can be seen, and there is a black solid iron ball beside it.

Soon, he walked into the barracks, and the barracks was also affected. An iron ball smashed through an arrow tower, causing the soldiers standing guard on it to be buried directly under the ruins. When he was dragged out of the ruins by other soldiers At that time, there was no breath, so it could only be placed on the side. When he saw Katrin, the other party frowned and listened to the quartermaster's report. When he saw Robert walking in, he signaled the quartermaster to pause and step back first.

"How? The thunder after thunder made me feel very uneasy." She asked, she didn't go up the city wall, so in her opinion, the roar of artillery after another was equal to thunder.

"It's not good, it should be a new weapon of the Winsters." Robert said, pulling out a chair and sitting on it, "The morale of the soldiers has been greatly affected.

They were all afraid to stand on the city wall, for fear that they would be the next to die. "

"We have to do something." Katrin said, "The quartermaster also reported to me just now that eight buildings in the city were attacked and collapsed, and the residents inside were all buried. Now only nine bodies have been dug up."

Hearing this, Robert smiled wryly, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "I can't do anything."

"You go to gather the army and the residents, let me talk to them." Catherine said, she touched the mark on her throat, and made up her mind: "In the name of the mother of the seven hundred gods, we want to defend the kingdom capital."

"Of order." Robert replied, then got up and walked out of the house. Half an hour later, except for the necessary sentinels, the soldiers were gathered in the square in front of the palace. After hearing the news, the residents who were hiding at home also walked out of their homes and towards the square.

The news spread quickly, and in just over an hour, the square was crowded with people, and there were all black heads as far as the eye could see. Looking at all this, Robert felt a little uneasy, if the enemies outside the city used that mysterious A new type of weapon attack, a few iron balls come down, and this place will become a hell on earth.

But fortunately, the artillerymen outside the city had already run out of gunpowder, so they could only turn off their fire and rest, and continue the shelling tomorrow. His worries were completely unfounded. At this moment, Katrin, who was fully clothed, walked up to the high platform accompanied by two guards. She looked at the crowds of people in the square and was taken aback, but did not show it. She took a deep breath, brewing After a while, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Residents of Meglenburg, and the people of the Mother of the Seven Hundred Gods, as you can see, I am Catherine, the Marshal of the Kingdom, and I am also the envoy sent by the Mother of the Seven Hundred Gods. I believe many of you have already You have heard about my deeds, and you also know about my defeat of the Winsters at Lake Ronny, all of which are due to the great Mother of the Seven Hundred Gods."

Her voice was not very loud, but with the help of dozens of soldiers with loud voices, it was possible for everyone in the square to hear her.

"Under my leadership, we defeated the powerful Winster army, protected His Royal Highness Prince Tragel in Malafa, and also broke the legend that the Winster people are invincible. But now, in order to protect us, we have regained In order to protect the devout believers of the Mother of the Seven Hundred Gods, we were surrounded by Winster's army and suffered crazy revenge!"

"Look at those ruins! This is the crime committed by the evil Winsters. Under the ruins, an unknown number of innocent civilians are buried. This is just the beginning. We don't know how many people will die in the ruins." Under the atrocities of the Winsters, can you just watch your relatives and friends die, and watch the walls of Fort Miggelen be breached?"

"No!" Someone shouted, he made a start, and soon more people echoed.

"Then, in the name of the Mother of the Seven Hundred Gods, I implore you, in order to defend our royal capital, our relatives and friends, muster up your courage and fight against the evil Winster pagans together!"

...

Richard was unaware of what happened in the city. At this time, he had just received military information from the west. To be precise, this military information was a good news. The army led by the military chief Charles captured the capital of the Duchy of Rogelle. In the city of Gus, Ragnar, the young king who hastily succeeded to the throne, was dragged by his court regent to surrender to the Winster army, and the Principality of Rogel officially perished.

This good news was also known to Randall at the first time, and it was funny to say that Randall had just arrived in Bennett City, and was brought back to Fort Megger by Richard. Where I once escaped in embarrassment, what thoughts would I have in my heart...
