Rise of the Empire Total War

The aristocratic area of ​​Ravana is very luxurious, and the environment here is also excellent. A tall tree called Alia, a specialty of Vadacia, is planted every few meters on both sides of the wide marble road. It blooms beautiful white flowers in all seasons and exudes a strong floral fragrance.

If you walk on the street, smelling the fragrance is like being in a sea of ​​flowers.

But Richard didn't have much thought to appreciate all this. Under the guidance of the officer, he soon came to the Trizzi Palace behind the tall palace wall, and saw his grandfather who always had a straight face in his memory, La King Halaus Carrera of Vannes. King Harlaus wore a red robe made of fine silk, decorated with gold threads and precious stones, and wore a small gold crown on his red curly hair, exuding a strong sense of nobility and majesty .

For the arrival of Richard's grandson, King Harolds showed great welcome. He held a banquet in the palace and invited several prestigious nobles in the country to come to see his grandson. The meaning is to introduce Richard to these nobles in the country.

Before the banquet began, Harolds I summoned Richard to his side. The nearly fifty-year-old king gently stroked the flesh and blood of his beloved daughter with his rough, calloused hands, and looked at his grandson With a delicate face, he seemed to see his daughter who had been away from him for more than 20 years return to him in a trance.

I still remember that before my beloved daughter Marie married to the Kingdom of Winster, she was just a girl who liked to act like a baby with herself. At that time, King Alfonso of the Kingdom of Winster was still a king who had just ascended the throne. He captured the traitor Fulvio alive in the city of Chur in the Principality of Ukraine, and defeated the coalition forces of the Principality of Lasik and the Republic of Cunha. It is precisely because of the achievements of the young King Alfonso that Harlaus, who loves military affairs, agrees to marry his beloved daughter to him.

It's just that I didn't expect that after more than 20 years, the majestic young king of the past would be buried in a usurpering rebellion.

Thinking of his daughter's voice and smile, Harlaus, the iron-blooded king, couldn't help but shed a tear from the corner of his eyes.

"Grandfather, I want to avenge my father and mother." Seeing the tears in the corners of Harlaus's eyes, Richard felt sour in his heart. Can affect him all the time.

Hearing this, Harlaus's eyes flashed with relief, he rubbed Richard's soft blond hair, and said softly: "My child, I will personally avenge that damned dog of Jutian, as long as you stay in Te Palace Rizi just wait for my news."

"No, I must personally avenge Jutian, not only Jutian, but I also want to conquer the Principality of Lasik and the Republic of Cunya who dared to support him!" Richard clenched his fists and swore, he can say These words were not only driven by the emotions of this body, but also relied on by the mysterious total war system.

"I'm glad you can say that." King Harlaus gently hugged his poor grandson into his arms, "However, this process will be very difficult. If you are alone, oh no, even if you add the six With ten Janissaries, your chances of success are still very low."

"You'll help me, won't you?" Richard asked, looking up at his grandfather.

"Yes, I will help you, but after all, I can't help you all the time. The aristocratic forces in the country are complicated, and they will not agree to my helping you regardless of reward."

"I understand." Richard had already prepared in his heart. There were many examples in the history of his previous life before his eyes, so he would not naively think that Harlaus could help him desperately.

Before Harlaus could speak, he continued, "But, with your power, wouldn't it be easy to give me a piece of territory and let me use that territory to develop my power?"

"You mean, let me give you a territory?" Harlaus looked at the grandson in his arms in surprise,

He suddenly couldn't see through the other party's thoughts.

"Yes, my lord grandfather, I know very well that if you directly send troops to help me reset, I will become a puppet of the Kingdom of Ravana without any foundation." King Harlaus, "I know that even if you don't have that idea, what about your heir, my uncle? And those greedy nobles? Can you guarantee that they won't have that idea?"

"My teacher in Nord taught me that there are only interests between countries. I think it must be in the interests of the Kingdom of Ravana to support an obedient puppet in Winster."

Such blunt words came from a boy who was only fifteen years old, which made King Harolds look at this down-and-out prince who was forced to flee his country at a young age. Taking a deep breath, King Harolds laughed out loud. He let go of Richard, stood up slowly, and said, "Actually, before you came, I held a court meeting. Those nobles and my courtiers They all hope that I can take this opportunity to annex Winster, or establish a puppet king there."

Richard just listened quietly and didn't say anything, as if it was a reasonable thing to do.

"Before I met you, I planned to follow their advice, but after I met you, I hesitated. I couldn't bear to see Mary's only son suffer this." King Harolds said, then The cloudy eyes looked at the calm-faced Richard, "If I reject their suggestion, I will encounter many obstacles to dispatching troops. After all, most of the kingdom's army still depends on conscripts from various nobles, and only by stationing in the capital. The standing army cannot defeat Jutian with the support of Rasik and Cunha.”

"So, I don't expect you to send troops directly. I just hope that you can give me a piece of territory so that I can accumulate wings and launch a battle of revenge when the time is right."

"If you are only given a piece of territory, those nobles and courtiers should have no excuse to object." Harolds nodded and said, then heaved a sigh of relief as if relieved, gently took Richard's hand, and said: "My child, you go to the banquet with me, and I will introduce those nobles and courtiers to you. After you develop in the fief, you may have to deal with them, so it is better to get to know them in advance."

"Okay, my lord grandfather." Richard agreed, and hurriedly followed the tall and stalwart figure of King Harolds, and walked towards the hall.
