Rise of the Empire Total War

"Follow me, General Hariand."

In the Palace of Ippolito, Lucius Claudius Hariand, who was dressed in a Roman penetrating toga robe, walked unhurriedly behind his attendants. He looked around from time to time, admiring the There are precious paintings on the wall and sculptures on the shelves. Although he didn't comment aloud, his evaluation of these luxuries can be seen from his shining eyes.

Tread Tread——

At this moment, a group of Janissary soldiers wearing bearskin caps walked past Hariand in neat steps. They held guns in their right hands, with the body of the gun resting on their shoulders, and their movements were uniform, as if they had no emotion. They are like ordinary robots. Although they just passed by, Hariand can still feel the cold killing intent emanating from them.

Tsk, as expected of the imperial guards guarding the palace.

Hariand thought to himself, he glanced at the Praetorian Guard patrol that was receding away, and couldn't help comparing them with the Roman Praetorian Guard in Iulia's Palace. The Praetorian Guards in the Iulia Palace were all equipped with rifled rifles with engraved grooves. Compared with the soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire who were still using muskets, the shooting accuracy was naturally much higher. One is not the elite veterans who have made illustrious military exploits (of course, some soldiers are the heirs of various nobles forcibly stuffed in, just to be plated with gold), each of them is full of murderous looks. The young noble soldiers who had been on the battlefield were scared to death.

And the imperial guards in Ippolito Palace, although they are also very tough, but they still lack that taste - Hariand will not admit that he is partial to his motherland!

Keke, far away.

Following the attendants through one corridor after another, Hariand was finally able to enter the hall. He saw Richard in formal attire sitting on the main seat, with two maids standing on either side, and the seat below his left and right On the board, the familiar old friend Foreign Minister Ornus von Frank and some other aristocratic officials who have only met once are sitting in danger.

As soon as Hariand entered the arena, he attracted everyone's attention. He ignored the gaze cast on him, but strode forward until he walked to the center of the hall, and then saluted Richard with a serious expression, loudly road:

"Your Majesty Caesar of the Holy Roman Empire, I am Lucius Claudius Hariand, Admiral of the Roman Empire and former Senior Consul of the Province of Zamborah, may the god Jupiter bless you and your Empire, may your empire live forever."

"Thank you for your blessings, respected General Hariand." Richard said gently, while raising his hand to signal the servant to lead Hariand to the position prepared for him in advance, he said: "General Hariand from the It is really admirable that the distant Dogero continent crossed the ocean and came here."

words fall,

Hariand also just took his seat, so he raised the wine glass in front of the table and said loudly: "Come on, everyone, let us toast to the brave General Hariand!"

"Raise your glass!"

Everyone echoed, and Hariand also raised the glass full of sake on the table, and drank the wine in one gulp following everyone's movements. He only felt a cold liquid flow down his throat, with a sour-sweet taste. Echoing in the mouth, it was unexpectedly beautiful.

After a drink, he put the glass on the table, and the maid at the side hurriedly stepped forward to refill the glass. Taking advantage of this gap, Hariand silently observed Richard's appearance. He was in the canal port of Vienna before. Although the two met, but because the scene was too noisy, he couldn't concentrate on observing.

Richard, who was sitting on the main seat, was unexpectedly young. Although he was going to be four soon, the years did not leave many marks on his face. He looked heroic, with a pair of sword eyebrows engraved on his eyes Above, the pupils are deep, as if they contain endless wisdom. The mustache on his lips added a bit of the charm of a mature man to him.

Feeling Hariand's observing gaze, Richard's eyes moved slightly, and an imperceptible smile flowed from the corner of his mouth. He poured a glass of wine and said, "General Hariand, I have always been interested in the history of other countries. Full of interest in inquiry, I wonder if I can have the honor to hear the history of your country?"

It is true to explore the history, and to test whether the Roman Empire was established by the same travelers.

Hariand was obviously stunned by Richard's question, but he quickly reacted, smiled lightly, and said, "I didn't expect His Majesty to be so interested. It is my honor to be able to explain to His Majesty."

Then, he revealed all the history of the Roman Empire that he knew, from the establishment of the Roman city-state in the province of Lorraine, to the Roman Empire after the civil war, until today three hundred years later.

After an unknown amount of time, Hariand finally finished his narration dryly. He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip to moisten his parched throat, but found that the people around him were still immersed in his narration. Especially Richard, who kept that action motionless, his eyes full of shock.

Through Harriand's narration, Richard is basically convinced that the Roman Empire was established by the predecessors of the traversers. He brought 4,000 Roman citizens to establish the city of Rome in the province of Lorraine that was turned into a white land by the flames of war. No matter what It seems that it is not something that normal people can do, especially the continuous violent soldiers in the back, only relying on a small city to sit on a Roman legion of 4,000 people (you must know that the citizens in Rome at that time, except for the old and weak, women and children, had to prepare their own weapons. There may be less than 4,000 adult male citizens who join the army), obviously there is systematic help.

If I guessed correctly, I am afraid that this senior traveler also has the same total war system as him, but the senior has the Roman total war system, and he has the Medieval 2 total war system. This kind of coincidence made Richard wonder. Open up, if after he dies, or when other continents on this planet enter the age of guns, will another person come across with the Empire Total War system?

Thinking of this possibility, Richard became a little excited. This kind of excitement was not because of anything else, it was purely because the same kind met the same kind. It has been more than 20 years since he traveled alone from the 21st century to such an ignorant and backward planet. He has never seen or heard of anyone similar to the time traveler. He may have to live like this until he dies, but after hearing what Hariand said today, he was shocked to find that a senior traveler had arrived three hundred years ago, and the flower of hope that had long since faded in his heart bloomed for this.

If possible, he would really like to narrate his experience over the past twenty years with a person who is also from the 21st century. It has nothing to do with anything else, but the loneliness in the depths of his soul.
