Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 22: Prelude to the Storm

   To be honest, if it weren’t for the Kingdom of Denmark and the long Viking ship, Richard would definitely postpone the order of road construction and build the port ahead of time.

However, now that he has a powerful Danish sailor, the scarcity of naval power was suddenly suppressed. The war against Barcelona also successfully captured several pirate warships, which allowed Richard to pursue the navy. Reduced a lot.

The four pirate warships seized by Sigurd are among the most common galley warships. This kind of warship basically relies on wind to propel the ship on the sea. Once it encounters windless weather, it can only let the pirates on board. Paddle together.

There are no weapons on board. In battle, the pirates first drove the warship to hit the enemy ship with the collision angle of the bow. Weapons fight each other.

Richard is going to use these four warships to let Walcoma recruit sailors when they go to Bell Port to trade, so that they can inject a batch of fresh blood into the Imperial Navy and replace the Vikings who are "seeking another way out." people.

  ...

Piccol was born in an ordinary fisherman’s house in Port Bell. His father was a sailor in the Navy of the Kingdom of Ravana, but he was wounded and retired in a war. Since then, he has made a living by fishing.

Piccol, who has lived by the sea since childhood, is also good at water. At the same time, under the influence of the story of his father's military career, he aspires to be a sailor who rides the wind and waves. He just suffers from no chance and can only watch it when he goes to sea with his father. Looking at the kingdom warship, fantasizing that he is one of the above.

Today, Piccol, who was at home preparing to go out to sea with his father, was suddenly dragged by his Fa Xiaoqiang and ran towards the port. When he was puzzled, he told him with joy: "The Earl from Kuban defeated After the Moorish pirates, they have captured their warships, and now they are recruiting sailors in Port Bell!"

The name Picol of the Earl of Kuban has been heard a little bit. A month ago, the king of Ravana reported that the king had canonized his grandson as the Earl of Kuban. After several days of discussion, everyone wondered if this new earl would die in the wild revenge of the Moor pirates in a foreign land.

   However, what I did not expect was that the young earl could defeat the Moor pirates and seize their warships in just one month? This is really shocking.

   Came to the port where the Earl of Kuban was enlisted. It was already full of people. The three floors inside and outside could be said to be impenetrable. Pickle and his hair couldn't help but retreat.

   Not only the people who came to sign up, but the Wal-Koma that set up the recruitment point was also taken aback by the enthusiasm of the local civilians. After some understanding, he understood why so many people were willing to join the army.

   There is no other reason, but the worship of the navy and the temptation of money.

After the war with the Moorish pirates, the status of the navy has been infinitely improved in coastal cities. Every young man has an infinite admiration for the kingdom’s navy that defends his homeland. In addition, King Harous’s salary for naval soldiers has also increased. Attracting the children of these poor families.

  Walcoma is a bit funny. These people did not understand the nature of the Kuban navy and the kingdom navy. The former only took orders from Richard, Earl of Kuban, or was ordered to join the kingdom’s navy during the war. The latter belonged directly to His Majesty the King. Although not many, they were the mainstay of the Royal Navy.

After figuring it out, in order to avoid future mariner mutiny due to the difference between imagination and reality, Walcom had asked his men to explain the difference between the two. As expected, after knowing that the Kuban navy was regarded as the private army of the nobility, these People's enthusiasm was mostly dissipated in an instant.

Not much nonsense. In the end, Wal-Koma still recruited more than 200 sailors. The more than 200 sailors were selected from the young people who are good at the bottom of the family. Some of them are even the offspring of veterans. They will be sent to Kuban Island with the ship, where they will be assigned to four pirate ships after preliminary military training.

   On the other side, on Kuban Island, Richard led his entourage walking through the leveled land, watching the peasants and pirate slaves plant the seeds of cabbage.

   That's right, it's cabbage seeds.

While checking the grain business in Nuremberg, Richard suddenly discovered that this new system building actually sells seeds of various grains, of course, only limited to the vegetables owned in the Middle Ages, such as spinach, radishes, cabbage, etc. Radishes and cabbage are suitable for planting in winter.

   Therefore, Richard exchanged 200 dinars for radish and cabbage seeds that could grow all the ground. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Before the completion of the construction of the mine, the more than fifty pirate slaves will have to work hard here under the supervision of the soldiers, but don't think about escape, because the crossbow militia equipped with crossbow bolts is on guard in the distance. Ready to shoot at any time.

   Time passed slowly as the radishes and cabbage grew. In a blink of an eye, the winter quietly left, and the spring when everything was resurrected came in the waiting of the farmers.

   With the arrival of spring, there is also news from the Moorish pirate group in the Sea of ​​Glitter.

As they said in late autumn last year, most of the Moorish pirates attacked Kuban in response to the assembly order. Their warships are mighty and boundless, just like locusts passing through every island that will pass through. The port was looted.

The mighty Moorish pirates almost made the entire sea of ​​shining tremble, and every force is speculating how the targeted Ravana Kingdom will respond, even though these pirates can’t compete with the elite Rava on land. The Nassi army rivals, but they can still rot the coastal areas of the Kingdom of Ravana.

   In the face of the invasion of the Moorish pirates, the island of Kuban, lonely overseas, bears the brunt. No one believes that the young earl, who has been shortly named, can survive the pirate frenzy. Even King Harrods himself does not believe it.

Regardless of the thoughts of the outside world, Richard, as the protagonist, is ready to meet the war. He has gathered all the troops under his command, whether it is the two hundred sailors from Port Bell who have just served in the service, or from the time he crossed. It has been following the current Imperial Guards of Winster, or the system of the Holy Roman Empire and the Danish army.

   After all the soldiers were assembled, Richard discovered that his subordinates already possessed a force no weaker than the Moorish Pirates!
