Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 "In this battle, our army suffered heavy losses..."

　　 Early the next morning, watching the hundreds of dead soldiers neatly laid out on the town square, Richard was heavy in German and his voice trembled.

　　 In the decisive battle with the main pirates, the town militia and the Viking raiders were almost wiped out. The former had five people, and the latter had only one lucky person who lost his left arm.

　　The crossbow militiamen also paid a heavy price, and they were forced to join melee combat, from 90 to 29.

　　 And the heavy armored sergeant and the Winster Forbidden Army, as the main force of the battlefield resistance, withstand the most powerful attack of the pirates, their casualties are also high. The heavy armored sergeant killed 81 people, the Forbidden Army killed 49 people, and the rest were all wounded.

　　 How cold the numbers representing the fallen soldiers were written on the parchment, and when Richard really saw the bodies of the loyal soldiers who gave his life, his soul was greatly shocked.

　　 This is the real war, not the result of the calculation of the illusory data in the game!

"They are the pride of the empire, the warriors of the empire." Richard said with tears in his eyes, he said solemnly, "The empire will never forget them, God will not forget them, nor will I forget. them."

Speaking of this, many people in the crowd of onlookers made deep crying. They were all relatives or friends of the fallen soldiers. Although they had expected this day to happen before the war broke out, this day really came. After that, I still couldn't accept it calmly.

"Their sacrifices are not in vain. The Moorish pirates who invaded us have been wiped out by the heroic soldiers. Their evil corpses are lying somewhere on the island to rot. Those captured will commit themselves for the rest of their lives. Atonement and confession of your sins!"

As soon as the words fell, several soldiers pushed a burly man with a fierce scar on his right cheek onto the wooden high platform, and then pressed him down to his knees with brute force. Although the man looked haggard, he still intended to be vicious. A threatening look.

　　Richard ignored his meaningless actions and still said loudly: "Citizens of Nuremberg, look at this man! He is the culprit of the pirate invasion, and he is the leader of the Moor pirates!"

　　 The crowd of onlookers made a surprised voice, but soon, the chaotic voice gradually unified, and finally evolved into three words with a strong killing intent!

　　 "Put him to death!"

　　 "Put him to death!"

　　 "Put him to death!"

　　 In the voice of the surrounding civilians, Richard walked up to Oma who was bound, looked down at him condescendingly, and said calmly: "Oma, can you hear me? My people want you to pay for it."

　　"..."

　　Omar couldn't understand what Richard said, because the latter spoke it in German, which is only common in Nuremberg. Therefore, Omar did not respond positively, but looked up at Richard unyieldingly. If his eyes could kill, he had already killed the boy in front of him several times.

　　 Seeing him like this, the onlookers became more excited, and their voices became louder and louder. Some relatives of the fallen soldiers even pushed forward, trying to cross the soldier's cordon and climb onto the high platform to beat Omar.

　　 Richard ignored the shouts of the people around him. He looked at Oma blankly, and suddenly kicked him over and snarled at the soldier on the side: "Draw your sword and kill him!"

"Accomplished." The Imperial Guard soldier promised. One stepped forward and pressed Oma to the ground, revealing his dark neck. The other drew out his sword and looked at the struggling pirate leader indifferently. Down!

Between the sparks and flints, blood splattered, and an ugly head fell to the ground, spewing blood and tumbling on the ground several times. The face under the helmet of the soldier in charge of execution was still indifferent, and he wiped the blood from the sword with Oma’s clothes. Slowly retracted the scabbard, and then stepped forward to pick up Oma's unsatisfied head, and held it high, showing it to everyone in the audience.

　　 Looking at the hideous skull still dripping blood in cross-section, the whole scene suddenly fell into endless cheers, as if killing Omar, the culprit, was revenge for the fallen soldiers.

　　...

　　 After the funeral of the fallen soldier was over, Richard returned to the town hall. The moment he stepped into the study, the system in his mind sounded a reminder that the mission was completed.

　　【Mission completed: Successfully defeated the main invasion of the Moorish pirates and wiped out their army.

　　 Task reward: Two teams of heavy sergeants (because the host currently does not have any elite arms that can be recruited, it is changed to early arbitrarily recruitable elite arms), 4000 dinars. 】

"Is the heavy sergeant again?" Richard was stunned. Although he said that the heavy sergeant's performance in this war did not disappoint him, he still wanted more powerful units, such as heavy cavalry or walking feudalism. knight.

　　 Regardless of whether he wants it or not, the reality has become so, Richard can only accept it sadly.

Now let’s count the soldiers under Richard’s hand that can still fight. The town militia and the Viking raiders can almost be counted as annihilated. There are only 29 militias holding crossbows, and they cannot be formed at all. Effective combat power. There are also 31 heavy sergeants, all elite veterans who have experienced **** battles. In addition, there are 225 new soldiers. The 11 remaining Winster Guards cannot be replaced, so they can only be with the early generals. Protect Richard personally.

　　 In this way, apart from the navy, which had basically no losses, Richard still had 299 infantry soldiers.

　　 The army suffered such a heavy loss, and the navy, from the beginning to the end, only sneaked on the pirate’s temporary stronghold at the end, defeated more than a hundred pirates and set fire to their supplies, and seized nearly a hundred pirate warships by the way.

The nearly hundred warships gave Richard a headache. He currently has no ability to swallow all these warships. He has no choice but to find channels to sell warships. Of course, the captured pirate flagship must be kept. Down.

The task of selling warships was naturally handed over to the sole merchant affairs officer, Walkoma von Holold. In addition to selling warships, he would spread the news of the destruction of the Moor pirates on Kuban Island. The sea allows all countries to see the skills of the new Earl Cuban.

　　 Everything after the victory was so beautiful, Richard finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, just the night before Wal-Mart’s departure, the pirate warships moored in the temporary port and surrounding beaches suddenly caught fire. The fire spread rapidly and quickly swallowed the port. Although the soldiers stationed around quickly reacted and went to fight the fire, there was still no way to stop the fire from spreading.

　　 The fire lasted until the early morning of the next day. Looking at the wreckage of the burned ships, Richard felt dizzy and almost fell.
