Rise of the Empire Total War

"Earl Richard, welcome to the city of Riyadh. May the Mother of the Seven Hundred Gods bless you every day you spend in Riyadh."

"Your Majesty, may God bless you and your kingdom," Richard responded.

Although I don't know which kind of god the God in Richard's mouth is, this does not prevent Caturanus from continuing to communicate.

"I don't know where Earl Richard is going after leaving his fief?"

"At the invitation of King Falcone, assist him in quelling the civil strife." Richard did not hide anything and told Caturanus the truth.

"What?" Caturanus looked a little surprised, he looked at Richard and the two general guard knights behind him, and said: "Almost a month ago, King Falcone's envoy visited Ria. city, and made a request to me."

"But I didn't agree, the military power of the kingdom does not allow me to join the war." Caturanus smiled bitterly, "And I also know that even if I agree to join the war of the Falconies, I am so pitiful The soldiers are useless."

Before Richard could speak, he continued, "Earl Richard, I'm a little curious. What benefits did the Farnics promise you, so that you would cross the ocean and join their civil war?"

After thinking for a while, Richard still told Uriah's conditions. He wanted to see what the king, who was harsh to his subjects, could have.

After listening to Richard's words, Caturanus shook his head and said, "Count Richard, I have to tell you that I'm afraid the Farniks will not be able to help you."

"What's the meaning?"

"In fact, after the civil war, the Farnics may not be able to help you regain the throne of the Kingdom of Winster. The vast shining sea blocks the enemies from the mainland, and also blocks the march of our island nations to the mainland. .”

"The Farnics in their heyday were unable to cross the sea to join the war, let alone those who experienced the civil war. I am afraid that the vitality of the Farnics will be consumed in the war, let alone respond to your call in the end And to fulfill the obligations of the alliance."

"So, what do you mean?" Richard asked tentatively.

"What I mean is not to participate in the civil war of the Farnics." Caturanus said in a serious tone: "Don't waste your troops on battlefields that have nothing to do with you, if you still want to recover the Winster Kingdom. "

"But I have promised them that I cannot tear up the agreement without authorization." Richard shook his head and said.

"Have you signed a paper agreement?" Caturanus looked at Richard strangely, and continued: "If it's just a verbal agreement, don't worry about it at all, even if you don't go, the Farniks can't borrow it." This embarrasses you."

"..."

Richard was silent, and after hearing what Caturanus said, he suddenly felt that it made sense.

But after thinking about it, he never really expected the Farnik people to play a big role in the future war against the Winster Kingdom from the beginning. He just wanted to get more power, even though it seemed So trivial.

Seeing that Richard was silent, Caturanus chuckled lightly, changed the subject, and said, "Earl Richard, may I have the honor to invite you to stay in Riya for a few days to attend my birthday party in four days? ?”

"Invite me to the birthday party." Richard looked at Caturanus thoughtfully, thought for a while, then nodded, and agreed: "Since His Majesty the King has invited me, how can I Do you disagree?"

"Then, I will arrange your residence in the palace, please stay in my palace for the next few days."

Richard didn't refuse either, he nodded and agreed, but he remembered the fleet at the port and said, "I want to go back to the port and let my fleet know."

"Okay, I will send someone to escort you back.

After Caturanus finished speaking, he called a guard and gave him some instructions. After a while, the guard led a burly middle-aged man in.

"Your Majesty the King!"

The middle-aged man half-kneeled on the ground and greeted Caturanus. At the same time, he glanced at Richard who was standing beside him, feeling a little strange in his heart, but he didn't ask.

"General Nils, this is Earl Richard from the Kingdom of Ravana. I hope you can ensure his safety during his stay in Riya these few days."

"Understood, Your Majesty the King." The general named Nils promised, and then saluted Richard, saying: "Earl Richard, I am Nils, the commander of the Royal Guards, and I am honored to protect you."

"...What kind of honor is this?" Richard's mouth twitched slightly, but he still managed to say hello to fool him.

Then, he bid farewell to King Caturanus, and returned to the port with two guard knights under the arrangement of General Nils.

Back at the port, Richard's fleet has long been assigned to the berth dedicated to the royal family - the royal family of the Riya Kingdom does not only live on the taxes of the common people, they also rely on their own power to participate in commercial activities and profit from them.

Richard, who returned to the "Paul" merchant ship, directly told everyone about his decision to stay in the Kingdom of Ria for a few days. Of course, the soldiers agreed with Richard's decision. Wan can only be trapped in a living coffin floating on the water-yes, that is what they call the warship they are in.

Soldiers are more willing to go to the city to find some fun than being stuck on a closed ship with nothing to do. This fun can be many things.

Alcoholism and female ticket girl Chang Richard has no objection to the soldiers doing it. After all, the soldiers are also living people, and they also need to release the pressure in their hearts, and these two things are the best way to release the pressure.

But fighting and making trouble is not enough. Richard doesn't want to see his soldiers making a scene in the city of Riya. In the end, he needs to ask him, the "Tathagata Buddha" to suppress it-that's really embarrassing.
