Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 "What are you doing?"

　　 Richard's voice was particularly prominent in the hustle and bustle of the crowd. As soon as his voice fell, the scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone fixedly looked at the intruding Richard and his guards, including the two wrestling men.

　　 "Ah, it's your Royal Highness Richard."

　　 Someone quickly recognized Richard's identity and whispered. People who didn't know him around heard salute greetings with Richard's soldiers.

　　 I forgot to say that, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Richard asked the system soldiers to call him His Royal Highness when they went out, instead of calling him His Majesty.

　　 Seeing that it was Richard, the two wrestling soldiers separated quickly. One of the Danish soldiers respectfully said: "His Royal Highness, as you can see, his subordinates are competing with him."

"Competition?" Richard was a little dazed. He turned his gaze to the soldier who didn't know where he came from. The latter quickly introduced himself: "My lord, I am a mercenary recruited by King Harous. My name is Rupert."

　　 "Why do you compete?"

"I saw this warrior with a burly figure and a murderous face, so I challenged him," Rupert said, with a weird face suddenly appearing on his face: "But, he doesn't seem to understand. With our language, it took me a lot of effort to make him understand what I mean."

　　 Richard was a little bit dumbfounded. The Danish soldiers under his command had just been summoned. It would be strange if they could understand the language of the world before they started learning.

　　 "In this case, you can continue to compete."

　　 Richard left here with the guards after he finished speaking. He didn't have much mind to watch their fights. What he cared more about was the expedition a few days later.

　　……

　　 Four days later.

　　 At the call of King Harous, conscripts of nobles from all over the world gathered outside the city of Ravana. In response to the Ramirez invasion, almost all of the army of the Kingdom of Ravana was called up, so all the army had a combined force of 4,000.

Don’t think that the army of four thousand people is very small. The number of people participating in each war in the Valdasia Peninsula will not exceed five thousand, not only because there are not many combatable soldiers in each country, but also because of the mobilization of large numbers. The manpower, material and financial resources consumed by the army are unaffordable.

　　 The mobilization of an army of more than 4,000 troops by King Harous undoubtedly demonstrated his determination to persist in the war. As for the inducement of this determination, it was nothing more than the fall of Fort Cochrane and the Earl of Cork.

This was the first time that King Haraus had his personal conquest in ten years. In addition to the more than 1,000 standing troops stationed in Ravana City, he was accompanied by a hundred men guarding the royal family's elite knight guard, the Black Bird Guard-the Black Bird Guard. The Cavalry Guards, which have existed since the founding of the Kingdom of Ravana, are named after the black larks on their armors and military flags.

The standing army of the Kingdom of Ravana are all low- and middle-class civilians or peasants recruited from cities or villages directly under the jurisdiction of the king. They are equipped with chain mail, iron helmets, shields and spears, and some long-range troops are equipped with leather armor. And crossbows. In addition to the infantry, there are also some light cavalry. Needless to say, these light cavalry are all knights serving the Blackbird Guard.

　　 In addition to the king’s standing army, noble conscripts are the main force of the kingdom. These conscripts mobilized from all over the kingdom have a considerable number of knights and knight attendants, and then they are the main militia and peasant soldiers.

Richard’s army of three or four hundred men is really not worth mentioning in the huge Kingdom Army. However, his quality can be said to be a few blocks away compared to other nobles, even if he fights against the earl army of the same level. He can still win the final victory.

On the other side, the Ramirez Kingdom Army, which broke through Fort Cochrane, left the Earl of Cork under the leadership of King Owicko, and entered the neighboring Earl of Mafugat, which is located in the plain. The most densely populated area in the eastern part of the kingdom is also the earl with the most enlistment. However, the Ramirez did not encounter much resistance. They successfully captured a town and obtained a lot of supplies and information about the Kingdom of Lavana.

　　 Listening to the news provided by the mayor of this town called Kostown by the locals, King Owicko of Ramirez kept his mouth up and let out a triumphant laugh. According to the mayor, after learning of the fall of Cork, Count Mafugat quickly mobilized the soldiers in the territory and took almost all the conscripts to station in the capital, Mattidoud, to see him. He looked like he wanted to hide in a safe castle desperately.

　　 Therefore, the entire Mafugat area is almost undefended except for the capital Matidao. Oveko can capture towns and villages in the area at any time. Oh no, those little noble castles where the stars are falling are also one of his obstacles.

Compared with the nobles at the first level of earls, the resistance of barons or other little nobles is equally strong. These little nobles may seem vulnerable, but they value loyalty and glory in their hearts, and they will stick to the castle where they live to resist. The Mires have a headache, because every time they capture a small castle, they have to pay an unequal cost of casualties~www.readwn.com~ In Cork, Oveko and his army have experienced the resistance of the little nobles. Determined, even though they seemed to be very relaxed when they captured Fort Cochrane, but it took a lot of effort to conquer the area completely.

　　 After learning that Count Mafugat was hiding in the capital, Oveko, who was in a good mood, allowed the soldiers to go carnival in Kostown for three days, and after three days, he would go to the trouble of Count Mafugat.

Three days later, the Ramirez people set off as scheduled. They left the severely devastated town of Kos, with a large amount of forcibly conquered food and supplies, and with the curse of the residents of Kos, they set foot on the besieging of Mati Daot. Journey.

　　 But before they arrived at Mattidoud City, they encountered the first obstacle on the road-a local baron’s castle. This baron’s castle is stationed with more than a dozen peasants. Although the combat effectiveness is weak, sticking to the strong stone castle can still give the Ramirez a little trouble.

Terry Carter is attached to MacPherson Carter, Earl of MacPherson, and the relationship between the two can be roughly guessed from the surname. Yes, Terry Carter belongs to McPherson Carter. Brother, it’s just that this younger brother is a little bit watery in blood, because the former is just an illegitimate child of the latter’s father. If it weren’t for the old earl’s special instructions before his death, Terry Carter would only have to wear a pair of armor, A war horse, a shield, a lance and an iron sword leave home, wandering the Valdasia Peninsula as a down-and-out knight or adventurer.

And now, as a low-level nobleman, Baron Terry Carter was standing on the low city wall and looking at the darkened Ramirez army outside. He couldn't help thinking of his father who did not forget himself before he died. He knew that he should I gave my life to protect the inheritance passed down by my father.
