Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 50 Ridiculous Night Attack

"Stephanie, you can stay here temporarily."

Looking at the not-so-shabby farm, Richard said apologetically.

In view of the environmental problems in Luwen City, combined with Stephanie's identity, Richard still did not let her live in the city to enjoy the "exotic fragrance" all over the city, but chose a farm with a better environment outside the city for her to live in. Borrow one night first.

"What about you?" Stephanie asked.

"Of course I'm going back to Luwen City." Richard smiled, "Tomorrow I will send someone to pick you up, and find a new place for you by the way."

"Okay then." Stephanie glanced at the trembling farmer's family standing at the door, and then pretended to chase them away and said, "Go back quickly, my cousin of the earl."

"Hmm." Richard nodded, then got on his horse and ordered to Stephanie's guard knights after sitting firmly, "You must protect Her Royal Highness, and if something unexpected happens, go to Luwen City for help immediately."

"Understood, Your Highness Richard!"

"Then I'm leaving." After Richard finished speaking, he drove the horse under Stephanie's gaze, and rode with the knights towards Luwen City.

After Richard and others walked away, Stephanie walked into the house with the maid. She looked at the obsequious farmer's family beside her, and said, "You all go to bed, I'm just staying for one night, no You need to serve."

"Yes, my lord, Your Royal Highness." The farmer, who was about to enter his old age, said tremblingly, and then led his family to his room, watching their cautious appearance, for fear that they would be punished by the noble royal family members just because of an offense. It's dealt with.

Accompanied by the maid, Stephanie walked into the room prepared for her. The furnishings in this room were very simple. A bed, a table and a chair were all the furniture. The surface of the walls of the room is pitted and covered with loess, and a lot of dust will be scattered when people move lightly.

Stephanie walked into the room and looked at everything in the room. Her pretty eyebrows could not help but frown again. She stretched out her finger and pointed to the bed with the largest area, and asked the maid next to her, "There is just a layer of bed on it. Straw, can people sleep on it?"

Listening to Stephanie's question, several maids peeked at each other, and then a maid who was born in a peasant household and was sold to the palace explained weakly: "In the countryside, poor peasants basically lie on beds covered with straw. , In the cold winter, they just put a few more layers of straw to keep warm."

"This……"

Stephanie was speechless for a moment. Looking at the dirty straw, she couldn't help but wonder if there might be insects like fleas in the straw, which would burrow into people as soon as they lay down on them.

Thinking of this, she no longer had the courage to lie down.

"I'll just sit on the chair for the whole night." Stephanie said, "All of you find a place to sit, and ask Richard to find us a place with a better environment to sleep in tomorrow."

When Stephanie was troubled by the harsh environment of the farm, a dark figure slipped out of the farm while the royal knights were not paying attention, and ran towards the nearby forest under the cover of night. After running for an unknown amount of time, he came to a small camp surrounded by low wooden fences. Before he had time to rest for a while, he was spotted by night watchmen and brought directly into the camp.

Due to the war, many bandits and bandits appeared in Luwen City and other new territories conquered by the Kingdom of Ravana. The composition of these bandits and bandits is extremely complicated. Farmers, fugitives who are also wanted for crimes.

And these people gathered together for various reasons, and quickly elected a few leaders, and under the leadership of the leaders, they made a living by looting houses. In addition, they also developed insiders among the nearby civilians,

used to obtain information.

Coincidentally, the owner of the farm where Stephanie was staying happened to be an insider of a nearby bandit group. Out of coveting the wealth that the princess carried with her, he finally decided to report the matter to the leader.

In the eyes of this country bumpkin, the twenty or so knights protecting the princess could not defeat the hundred-strong band of thieves.

After hearing the information from the owner of the farm, the leader of the thieves group was a little moved, not to mention the wealth that the princess carried with him, just being the princess of the kingdom made him very excited. He has never been in contact with a high-ranking princess. Isn't it flattering to catch the princess back to warm her bed...

What's more, according to the country bumpkin, Her Royal Highness looks better than the woman of the earl's family who ruled here before - that is the most beautiful woman the leader has ever seen, and in fact this leader named Roy is exactly Wanted for offending nobles...

"Give her a vote!"

After thinking about it, Chief Roy immediately made a decision, and then the robbers in the entire camp were summoned one after another, and armed with weapons, they marched towards the farm in a mighty manner.

On the other side, the royal knights who defended the princess stood by their posts dutifully, guarding against the impossible enemy attack in their eyes.

Since the scale of the farm is only two or three poor houses, the outside is only surrounded by a low wooden fence. The symbolic meaning of this wooden fence is greater than its practical significance, and it can even be jumped over with a light jump. The knights climbed onto the roof, looking bored at the dark night sky and the earth.

The battle broke out when the knights were caught off guard.

Led by the traitor, the Roy bandits launched an attack on the royal knights. The weapons they used were extremely simple, and the long-range weapons were only a few poor hunting bows. To the enemy, even the hit rate of a few hunting bows is very touching, belonging to the level of ten arrows hitting at most one arrow, and even that one arrow cannot cause damage to the knights.

After a sudden round of long-range attacks, the thieves shouted and jumped over the wooden fence into the yard, and fought hand-to-hand with the knights who quickly reacted. The melee weapons of the thieves were also rudimentary. Other than weapons, they are basically wooden sticks and wooden spears, which can't even break through the chain mail of knights, and the sharp long swords equipped by knights are like magic weapons, cutting thieves is like chopping vegetables.

The battle was unequal from the very beginning. The knights with superb martial arts and well-equipped equipment easily dealt heavy blows to the enemy head-on. The battle lasted less than ten minutes before the bandit group was defeated.

There were no casualties among the knights, but the thieves left corpses all over the ground.

This made Knight Commander Lynch very puzzled: Where do these thieves have the confidence to dare to attack them?
