Rise of the Empire Total War

"Your Majesty, you should go to rest."

Under the shadow of the flickering lights, a slightly old voice sounded from the side. As soon as he finished speaking, his hand that was still writing with a pen stopped, and then, the tired voice of a middle-aged man also sounded.

"It turned out that it was so late before I knew it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you should rest." The old voice continued.

"Well, let them clean up, I will continue to check tomorrow." The king said, put down the pen in his hand, stretched again, and slowly got up. He is the supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Milanas, that is, Milana King Deperas de Verus of Sri Lanka.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old voice said, and he was about to go to clean up the scrolls on the table. When King Deperas saw this, he suddenly remembered something, pointed to the letter on the corner of the table, and said: "This place Well, don't lose it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The servant replied and went to get the letter, but the king suddenly repented and said, "Forget it, give me the letter, and I will keep it myself."

Hearing this, the servant picked up the letter and handed it to Deperas respectfully. The latter stuffed it into the lining of his robe after taking it, and then walked out of the study. With the light and heat, being here, you can't feel the cold outside at all.

Thinking of the consequences of sending out the letter in his arms, King Deperas couldn't help trembling slightly with excitement. Since he inherited the throne more than ten years ago, he has been doing nothing during his reign. Good decisions might be wise to join the Mutual Defense Agreement against the Kingdom of Winster and accept Prince Jairo's army from the Duchy of Lasik (the latter in his own opinion). But now, as long as he sends the letter, the structure of the entire Vardasia Peninsula will undergo earth-shaking changes. The powerfully rising Winster Kingdom and its alliance are likely to be destroyed, and the international status of the Milanas Kingdom will also be destroyed. Unprecedented improvement - all of this is in his hands!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help swallowing the saliva secreted by excitement again, as if he could see the dazzling future of the kingdom from the burning flame on the torch hanging on the wall at the corner of the corridor.

With longing for the future, he quickened his pace and quickly finished this aisle and turned the corner. He was so excited, but he didn't know that he was walking towards death step by step.

One step, two steps, he was about to push open the tight door and walk into his room. He didn't feel the person hidden behind the door in front of him at all. He stepped forward and pushed the door open, accompanied by a creaking sound. With a gritty voice, Deperas walked into the room. He habitually scanned the furnishings in the room, but found nothing unusual, so he turned around to close the door again. But in the next second, he only felt a black shadow flash before his eyes,

A sharp pain in his chest swept through his whole body. He opened his mouth wide to scream, but his mouth was covered by a big hand, and he could only make a muffled whimpering sound. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the attacker in pain. People, he found desperately, standing in front of him was a strange middle-aged man whom he had never seen before, his eyes were full of darkness, like a poisonous snake.

In the next second, the dagger stuck in Deperas's chest was pulled out abruptly, and blood gushed out like a fountain, and the blood-stained dagger pierced his chest again, once, twice, three times, every time It was bloody red all at once. Gradually, Deperas stopped struggling and slowly collapsed on the ground. His eyes were turned upside down, leaving only the whites of his eyes. His chest was bloody and bloody. The bone was visible deep down, and one of the blades even pierced the king's heart, almost piercing it.

Seeing that King Deperas was completely dead, the assassin let go of his hand covering his mouth, then threw the bloody dagger aside, squatted down and rummaged to see if there was anything on the king. What did he find? From the inside of his torn robe, he found a blood-stained letter with several holes. Although the words on it were somewhat unclear, he still took the letter away. Thinking about it, something that can be kept by the king must be very precious. He thought so.

After searching the whole body of the king, Reese found nothing else, so he got up and prepared to run away, when he suddenly heard a sound of orderly footsteps in the aisle outside the door, he was startled and looked around He started the escape route, and when his eyes glanced at the window, his eyes lit up. He walked quickly to the window, opened a crack slightly, and looked down, and there was actually a carriage full of hay underneath.

Hearing the approaching footsteps and looking at the hay cart below, Reese hesitated a little. Such a strong smell of blood could easily be spotted by those soldiers. He ran away here, but the king's bedroom was four stories high from the ground, and if he was not careful, he might fall to his death on the spot.

Just as he was hesitating, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Reese's heart tightened, and without thinking about it, he opened the window and turned it out. He looked at the hay cart below, gritted his teeth, jumped, and The guard jumped before breaking into the room. Rees could only feel the wind whistling in his ears, and after a few seconds, he fell heavily into the haystack. This fall really threw him to pieces, his head was dizzy, and his nose was full of hay. The smell, he struggled to get up, but was shocked to find that his limbs were weak, not to mention standing up, even turning over was difficult.

"No, I can't lie here all the time, it's not safe here." He thought in his heart, but no matter how hard he tried, his limbs still couldn't move, he only felt his mind getting heavier, and then his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

Before he fell into a coma, he could vaguely hear the sound of the alarm bell being rung.

...

When Reese woke up from the darkness, he opened his eyes and saw the blue sky in front of him. Although the surrounding air was still filled with the bitter smell of hay, it was not as strong as before the coma. He struggled to get up, However, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his limbs regained control, so he stood up again and found himself in a forest surrounded by a pile of hay. Although he didn't know why he came here, the current situation Look, he's safe.

After looking at the surrounding environment, he checked the situation on his body again. He was still wearing the military uniform and armor of a Milanas soldier, which was stained with a lot of dried brown blood and stuck to a piece of dry grass. He quickly put the armor on his body He took it off, revealing the gray clothes inside. He didn't dare to walk outside in this blood-stained armor. If someone found out and arrested him, he would be finished.

After dealing with the obstructing armor, he walked towards the nearby town, wanting to inquire about the situation of King Milanas first.
