Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 28: After the war

   The overnight fire caused the loss of nearly a hundred warships. After the inventory, only 17 ships remained intact, and the most eye-catching pirate flagship was naturally destroyed in the fire.

The culprit of the arson was also captured that night. This was a pirate’s slippery fish. Several of them were once members of the left-behind stronghold. They successfully escaped in the chaos and hid in the nearby forest. After learning that the main force was wiped out, Knowing that he had no chance to leave Kuban Island safely, he set fire to the warship.

Richard was very angry, and his face was distorted with anger. He directly ordered several culprits who were still crying for mercy to be buried alive. Watching several pirates gradually being submerged by the soil, Richard's anger was not relieved much. , He took a deep breath, only to admit that he was unlucky.

   Fortunately, there are still seventeen pirate ships left for use. Richard thought about it and decided to keep these for his own use. Even if it is not used for naval battles, it will be convenient to transport troops in the future.

  Leaving a team of heavily armored sergeants to take care of the remaining warships, Richard returned to Nuremberg. As soon as he returned to the town hall, his consciousness entered the system in his mind to check the information of Qicheng town.

   Labor force: 2150

   Social order: 145%

   City tax rate: medium tax rate (low tax rate, medium tax rate, high tax rate, very high tax rate)

  Can build buildings: militia barracks, tannery, port, chanting house, brothel, conversion to castle

  Buildings built: wooden walls (upgradeable), security barracks, town halls, grain trading houses, land leveling, roads, mines

  Recruitable arms: urban militia (1), diplomat

  ……

   At present, Richard does not lack an army, so the militia barracks were directly rejected by him. Compared with the general spear militia, the heavy sergeant he now has is enough to cope with the current war. The embarrassment encountered when preparing for the soldier's funeral a day ago forced Richard to move the religious building to the stage.

Generally speaking, medieval funerals-oh no. To be precise, after the spread of Christianity, the funeral after death requires priests to pray for them. However, in Nuremberg, where there is no priest, the funerals of soldiers who died can only be forced to Minus this custom.

   This has actually made many people dissatisfied, but because of Richard's identity, no one dared to raise it face-to-face.

   Therefore, Richard incorporated the first-level religious building chanting house into the construction sequence, and then it was the port that dragged on again and again. After the arson incident, the temporary port has been dilapidated and cannot be dragged.

The price of the two buildings is also 800 dinars, which is 1,600 dinars in total, which is a drizzle for Richard now. He originally had more than 8,000 dinars, plus the task was completed. Rewarded, broke the 10,000 mark all at once.

After determining the building to be built, Richard focused his attention on the four former pirate warships with sailors. He only remembered that these people do not have an official name so far, and it happened that Richard had a custom name for the unit. He used his power in passing.

   However, thinking about it, he still didn't think of a good name. Compared to the easy names such as "Kirk Warship" and "Dromone Warship" in the game, what he thought of "Imperial Warship" and "Auxiliary Warship" was meaningless.

   While having a headache, Richard's gaze suddenly glanced over the map spread out on the desk, and the location of Kuban Island on it was highlighted and bolded with red pen, which gave him an instant inspiration.

   "Let’s call it the Cuban Warship!"

  【The unit Kuban warship is set up. It cannot be recruited from the system at present, but it can be recruited through the indigenous people. 】

  ……

   A few days later.

The aftermath of the war did not continue to affect Nuremberg. Farmers who were no longer threatened by the war began to walk out of the town and start spring ploughing on the leveled land. They planted the wheat seeds purchased from the grain business with the hope of harvest, while dreaming about something. After harvesting months later, I sprinkled sweat on this fertile land.

In the forest far from the town, the hunter holding a hunting bow lowered his body and slowly approached the wild deer looking for food. Only the fat animal was in his eyes. Seeing the opponent approaching without perceiving the danger, the mouth of the hunter raised slightly and bowed. The arrow is drawn, and the bowstring of the hunting bow is pulled to the full moon shape, and then the fingers are loosened, and the arrow with the iron arrow shoots out quickly, hitting its vitality before the wild deer can react. The wild deer could only let out a painful neigh, and fell to his knees. He watched the smiling Orion walk out of the hiding place and approached him step by step.

In order to find food ~www.readwn.com~near Lake Rhine (this is Richard's new name given to the lake next to Nuremberg, this name is of course the source of the Rhine) Nuremberg residents will naturally not give up the ready-made Lake Rhine In the grain producing area, they began to cut down nearby trees to make small rafts, and then a group of people carried the woven nets into the lake to fish. The clear Lake Rhine is rich in fishery resources. As long as the net goes down, you can catch a bunch of big fish, whether it is grass carp, carp, crucian carp, or silver carp. If you are lucky, you might even be able to catch some prawns.

  Along with the development of agriculture, weak industries are also secretly developing. The pirates who were captured on the island of Barça and the captured pirates were imprisoned in a dark mine together, day after day and year after year, wielding small picks and hammers against the hard ore, maybe they were in In my spare time, I can still miss the dazzling situation in the shining sea, but now it is only worthy to shiver under the whip of the overseer.

It is worth mentioning that those overseers with whips are selected from pirate slaves, and they are guaranteed to be the ones who work the hardest and most obedient. After becoming overseers, they often rely on their own. Power abuses the fellows who worked hard together in the past to vent their anger.

Richard would not care about the internal affairs of these lowly slaves, nor would he care about the heavy-armed sergeant centurion who was stationed in the mine. He and his soldiers would only watch gloating on the sidelines, and at most warn the overseers not to fight. Human lives, after all, slaves are still scarce, and there will be one less if you die, but there is nowhere to find this kind of free coolies.

   Time passed day by day in the peace after the war. However, this peace did not last long. After the end of spring ploughing, an order that should have come in a few months came to Kuban with a message.

  The Kingdom of Ramirez declares war on the Kingdom of Lavana!
