Rise of the Empire Total War

In fact, the captured firearms of the second brigade were not sent to the north, but temporarily stayed in the Kingdom of Lumi. They originally thought that they would take all the captured weapons with them after the war in the Pravia area was resolved. Marching northwards, a gun was given to King Balaria, but he did not expect that the entire army was wiped out outside the city of Tus, so the batch of firearms never had a chance to be put on the battlefield again—and in fact, the people of the alliance did not know how to To operate firearms, they also lacked the requisite ammunition.

Richard naturally didn't know all this. Out of careful consideration, he still ordered the front line to suspend the offensive plan, and at the same time dispatched the Third Army to go north, temporarily transferred to the second army's combat sequence, and obeyed Matthias's order. command. The Third Brigade of the First Army also temporarily stopped vacations, and Trond himself was even delayed from going to the fiefdom, and returned to the barracks to wait for orders.

Although a little uncomfortable with the extension of the vacation, Trond and the soldiers of the third brigade did not complain. They stayed in the barracks obediently, put on the armor issued by the military chief Charles, and waited for the call of the battlefield.

At the same time, in the Lucino area, the interim commander of the First Army Duckman, after solving the local chaos, asked the civilians to elect a new consul for management, and then brought enough supplies Commanded the Northern Expedition and invaded the Principality of Pilok. The sudden attack of the First Army caught the border posts of the Principality of Pilock off guard. In just one day, a large number of border posts were captured. However, some of the posts lit up smoke before the fall to pass on the news of the enemy's attack.

However, this was of no use. Duckman followed the concept of blitzkrieg proposed by Richard in the military academy, and directly crossed several castles and fortresses on the side close to Lucino, and went straight to Esquilia, the capital of the Principality, while acting as a The vanguard carbines swept across the countryside of the Principality of Piloc in a company, and wiped out all the enemy troops who dared to go out of the city to meet them in the field.

two days! Just two days! The First Army surrounded Esquilia, and then set up dozens of cannons to aim at the city wall and bombarded the city. The whole city was trembling under the violent bombardment. The shivering Grand Duke hiding in the palace Hearing the rumbling guns outside, looking at the shaking ground and buildings, he couldn't help screaming.

The next day, Esquilia surrendered in the midst of indiscriminate bombardment. The Grand Duke himself was unwilling to give up his dominance and become a prisoner of the Winsters, but until a cannonball fell off his knees, something happened. By mistake, he broke into the bedroom where he was hiding, and smashed his wife who was hiding with him into a puddle of flesh. The frightened Grand Duke finally ordered to surrender.

For the terrified ruler who voluntarily surrendered, Duckman sent him to Nord with a contemptuous smile, and then gathered all the nobles in the capital. Duckman's notoriety had already spread here, Pi How did the Locke nobles have the courage to obey his call? Except for a few aristocrats who bit the bullet to participate, most people declined with various excuses, which made Duckman very dissatisfied.

Therefore, after sending away the nobles who were relieved to invite, Dachman ordered that those nobles who did not accept the invitation be arrested on various charges in the next few days.

Those with greater influence and power were dealt with treason and other nasty crimes. What awaited them was the deprivation of their noble status and gallows, while those small and medium nobles were warned and forced to redeem themselves with a huge ransom.

After finally getting out of the dirty dungeon, the nobles were shocked to find that the nobles who had been invited before had nothing to do with them. On the contrary, they took the opportunity to expand their power and replaced the hanged nobles as the new The great aristocrats, this is not the key, what is more important is that behind them stands the shadow of the new masters of this city and even this country - the Winsters!

Can't afford to provoke. When the nobles thought of this, they immediately figured out the strangeness. It turned out that Duckman invited them not to kill them, but to discuss cooperation, but he was smart enough to let Duckman dove, and then he ended up like this.

They regret it, but there is no medicine for regret in this world, they can only break their teeth and swallow it, and eat the bitter fruit by themselves. Of course, it is impossible to resist, and it is impossible to resist in this life. Winster is powerful, and there is only one end for resistance-death.

...

Another ally was destroyed, and the inside of the alliance was completely panicked. The successive victories of the Winsters completely turned the balance of victory in their favor. Half of the people in the southern countries have surrendered, and the remaining half of the countries are just stubbornly resisting. I believe that they will not last until the end of the year under the attack of the Winsters. The demise of the Principality of Pilok also exposed the Kingdom of Lumi and the Kingdom of Karta to the iron heels of the enemy. Looking around, the south no longer has a reliable ally.

In the north, thanks to the fact that the remaining five countries were tightly hugged together, and the Winsters had no energy for the northern expedition for a while, they were able to maintain it until now, but half of the Swachiqi kingdom fell into the Wenzhou Kingdom again. The range of control of the Steers has stretched the front lines of the two sides again, and the Winsters army has been able to march northward from another route, which is likely to break the current deadlock.

"We must increase the defensive force on the front line!"

At the meeting, King Aisham waved his arms and said loudly, "It is no longer a matter of fighting for power, but a matter of life and death for our countries. If the front line is broken by the Winsters, our five countries will be like Those allies in the south are generally conquered and destroyed, and they will never recover!"

"Think of Trond the Butcher and his brigade of skeletons! If it falls into their hands, everyone here will be brutally killed! The Law of Nobles is a useless scrap to the savage and cruel Winsters." Paper!"

Listening to King Aysham's words, the envoys from all over the world turned pale. They knew the reputation of the Butcher and the Skeleton Brigade best. Once they fall into their hands, don't expect to go home alive!

"So!" King Aisham looked solemnly at the envoys below, and said loudly: "I have decided that the Kingdom of Balaria will enter a state of full-scale war and mobilize all nobles, civilians and slaves in the country who can participate in the war. Hire all available mercenaries!"

"Emissaries, as one of the main leaders of the alliance, Balaria has made enough examples and sacrifices. I hope you will go back and tell your monarch what happened here. We have wasted many opportunities, but This time we must not let the chance of survival be lost from our hands, as long as we regain Swachiqi, we still have a chance!"
