Rise of the Empire Total War

When the rioters surrounded the Bradek Palace again, Caturanus was extremely annoyed. He had no assistance, because after delivering the "forced promise" bounty, Richard's fleet quickly Drive away from this chaotic kingdom.

In other words, Caturanus could only survive with his remaining Praetorian Guards. Although the strong palace walls could resist the attacks of the rioters, they could not keep him trapped inside for the rest of his life.

Caturanus knew that his reign would soon come to an end.

However, this has nothing to do with Richard. After receiving the 3585 bounty given by the Riyadh, the fully loaded fleet left the port. Richard did not distribute these bonuses to the soldiers. In fact, the soldiers did not know that he had blackmailed Caturanus. They only thought that it was a treasure sent to Caesar by the Riyadh to thank them.

The fleet continued to move forward. Under the command of the captain of the "Paul", Shelly, the fleet moved in the right direction, and finally arrived in the waters near the Kingdom of Falcone 18 days later.

This sea area is called the Fars Sea by the locals. Coincidentally, the land near this sea area is the fiefdom of Turgau Yar Ingiarde, and his Turgau lord city Turg also just stands By the Sea of ​​Fars. Its main city is a prosperous port city, which naturally means that Turgall must have a naval fleet of unknown strength in his hands.

This made Richard be more vigilant. In case Ingiard's naval strength is stronger than his own, he can only play GG slowly in the tragic naval battle - in the vast sea, the defeated party will have no way out To retreat, besides surrendering to the enemy, the only ending is to be buried in the belly of a fish.

However, Richard changed his mind, the news of his union with King Hades should not have been made public, because Giard's navy had no reason to attack him anyway, after all, rashly attacking a force with unknown intentions would only Make yourself a new enemy for nothing.

Richard thought so, so his fleet sailed swaggeringly on the vast Fars Sea, without any intention of hiding its whereabouts, until a small fleet came towards them, Richard was still going to put on a show Muddle through.

However, what happened next was a slap in the face for him.

"My lord, they are attacking us!"

Just as the two sides approached, the oncoming fleet flying the red roaring war bear flag on a white background took the initiative to attack Richard's fleet without saying a word, and the combat sailors on the deck of the warship used slingshots The bow and arrow intended to shoot the sailors on the deck of Richard's warship, but due to the long distance, they could not threaten Richard's sailors at all.

Seeing that the enemy actually took the initiative to attack, Richard's fleet immediately launched a counterattack in surprise. The civilian archers on the temporary flagship "Paul" stepped onto the deck one after another, set up bows and arrows under the command of the officer, and shot at the enemy. Although they were not good at shooting on the deck shaking with the sea water, their numbers The advantage still gives them a slight advantage in shooting.

At the same time, the Viking longship, which is better at melee combat, takes advantage of the cover of other warships to quickly approach the enemy ship through the wind and waves. The Viking sailors standing on it fight fiercely and use more powerful throwing axes or javelins to shoot and kill the enemy. . When the distance between the two ships was less than five meters, these Viking sailors threw the thick and long hook rope onto the deck of the enemy ship, shouted slogans together and pulled the rope, making the two ships close together, and then followed the hook rope Climb onto the deck of the enemy ship.

This is the method of water warfare that the Viking sailors are more adept at. Thirsting for blood, they are more inclined to board enemy ships and fight fiercely with the enemy.

The attack intensity of Richard's fleet was unexpected by the Turgau Navy. With only ten Falk warships, they originally planned to launch a wave of surprise attacks on the enemy and repel the enemy, but unexpectedly not only failed to repel them The enemy, on the contrary, trapped himself in it.

The fight lasted only an hour,

The Turgau navy was completely annihilated in the battle of Richard's fleet, and all their warships were captured. Thirty-two sailors knelt down and begged for mercy, and became prisoners.

In order to find out why Turgau's navy attacked him, Richard interrogated the captives, and finally found out that he had been sold by his good ally, the Falcone royal family. After the kingdom, in order to boost morale, they released the news that the "Pirate Buster" Richard of Cuban Island was willing to help the royal family. , but was soon suppressed.

Richard was a little helpless, but also surprised by his fame. Didn't he just wipe out an invading Moorish pirate group, and his nickname actually added a "Pirate Buster", which could also make the soldiers of the noble rebels fear.

But then he became curious again, why these sailors dared to take the initiative to attack him.

"This, this is an order from General Watt." The captive sailor who was questioned replied tremblingly, "General Watt asked us to launch an attack, anyone who does not obey his order will be severely punished, we dare not disobey. "

"What about that bold General Watt?" Richard asked with interest.

"General Watt fell to the tomahawks of your soldiers. His head was severed and his body fell into the water."

"That's a pity." Richard said with some regret. To be honest, he didn't regret the death of General Watt, but regretted the loss of a new source of intelligence. Must be much more than these sailors.

These sailors basically didn't know anything about it. Except for some irrelevant things, they didn't know more about the number and deployment of the noble rebels, as well as the defensive strength of the city of Tours.

After the questioning, Richard asked the soldiers to drive the captives to the bottom of the ship and lock them up before continuing to the coast. He didn't dare to go to the city of Tours. In case heavy troops were deployed there, the hundreds of people on board would have to give away their heads.

Then where should we go next...Richard thought while touching his smooth chin, then he cast his eyes on the map of the Kingdom of Farnik presented by Uriah hanging on the wooden wall, and on the few places near the city of Tours. port, and soon found a target.

It was a port town named Malthus, which was closer to the territory directly under the royal family. If Richard guessed correctly, it should be the main battlefield where the Royal Army and the noble rebels fought. At this time, Richard broke into the port and exploded the rebels. Isn't chrysanthemum beautiful?
