Rise of the Empire Total War

After the decisive battle in the Sinlan Plains, the Ramirez army was almost destroyed, and the Lavannes were no longer threatened. They marched all the way, invaded the Cork Neck, and regained the unexplained Fort Cochrane. .

　　 Fort Cochrane still stands on the hill, and traces of the battle more than half a month ago can still be seen vaguely, and even the bones of a human body can occasionally be seen from the grass on the side of the road.

　　 As the poorest earl in the kingdom, the capital of Cochrane is also shabby. The interior of this castle is mostly wooden, and some of it was destroyed in the war.

　　 It is worth mentioning that there is no city in Cork. To be precise, the earl was set up to guard against neighboring countries, and its use is naturally only military. However, it was such an earl, which was only used for military purposes, that fell quickly at the beginning of the war, which caused the war to burn to the Mafuga special-collar that it was supposed to defend.

　　 Therefore, King Haraus decided to entrust his capable officer and also the most respected third prince Bandak to this place to protect the eastern part of the kingdom.

The news about the division of the leader of Cork to the third prince Bandak was officially announced after the recapture of Fort Cochrane. The decision of King Harous was expected by the nobles in the army, so everyone did not show it. What a surprise, they congratulated the protagonist Bandak. Richard was naturally a member of the crowd. After all, Bandak has not shown obvious hostility, and his identity is still Richard’s pro. uncle.

After a few days of repairs in Fort Cochrane, the army continued to advance east. King Haraus’ goal was to capture several cities or castles in the Kingdom of Ramirez, and then he could send envoys to make peace with the enemy. I believe that the main force will be lost. The Ramirez of the army has no confidence to continue fighting.

　　 May 6, 1105 in the continental calendar.

After a few days of marching, the Ravana army crossed the border into the Kingdom of Ramires. Most of the land of the Kingdom of Ramires is hilly. Its king, Yakike, was built in the hills. Also known as the city of a thousand hills. The Ramirez people who were born in the hilly area are more adept at mountain warfare rather than plain warfare. Their cavalry strength is naturally not strong. The combination of two factors makes Xinlan's defeat in the decisive battle seem very reasonable now.

In view of the fact that the main force of the Ramirez Kingdom was almost destroyed in the Sinlan Plain, and only some local militias that were not mobilized were left behind, King Haraus was relieved to attack several cities and castles close to the border, facing the imposing momentum. With the strong siege of the Ravana people, the attacked city can only fall after meaningless resistance, giving up control.

　　 And just as the Lavannes were advancing, the messenger of the Ramirez finally arrived. He was the diplomatic chief of the kingdom and he was also an earl of the land.

In respect of Ramirez’s diplomatic director, King Haraus set the venue for the negotiation in the city lord’s mansion of a newly-occupied city named Luwen. Perhaps it was out of the idea of ​​letting Richard learn, Harau Si also called him over to participate in the negotiation.

　　The head of the diplomatic affairs of the Ramirez is named Lucius Edward, a middle-aged man who is somewhat flattered. His eyes are different from other people's green, which looks extremely strange, but this does not prevent him from conducting diplomatic work.

The messenger sent by the Ravana kingdom was Oscar David, Earl of Barrenac. Richard had some contact with him. He looked like a good old man who smiled all day long, but his personality did not match his appearance. It is more appropriate to describe him with the word smiling tiger.

　　 "Dear Lucius, my name is Oscar David, and I am the Earl of Barrenac of the kingdom. I am honored to be able to discuss the peace between the two countries with you."

At the beginning of the two parties’ seats, Earl Oscar first introduced himself, and then went straight to the subject, saying: “With regard to this war, we believe that the responsibility lies with your country. It is your country that first provoked the war, brazenly invaded our country’s Cork collar, and robbed of wealth. , To slaughter civilians."

"I can't agree with you, Lord Oscar." Lucius appeared calm, and he calmly retorted: "Before the war, it was your country’s soldiers who offended our civilians and robbed them of the law. Property, after the incident, your country did not give a proper way to deal with it. Our country has to deal with it in its own way."

　　 Hearing this, before Oscar could speak, Bandak on the side sneered: "Your country's approach is to shamelessly occupy our country's Cork region and further invade the Mafugat area?"

At the end of the story, before Lucius answered, Bandak continued: "Regardless of the right or wrong of this war, your country was defeated in the Sinlan Plain and the main force was almost destroyed. This is an indisputable fact. We are all. The nobles who have received civilized education will not take the opportunity to blackmail, so be it, as long as your country recognizes that the two cities occupied by our army and Thornton Fort are the legal territory of the Kingdom of Lavana from now on~www.readwn.com~ And pay a ransom in exchange for the nobles and soldiers captured by our army, and this war can end."

"We can accept the second condition, but I am afraid that the first condition is unacceptable." Lucius lost the calmness he had before, and he almost stood up, supporting the table with both hands and staring at Bandak. After a few words, he said: "The kingdom's territory cannot be divided by an inch!"

　　 "Your country may not be able to assemble many soldiers to fight again." Oscar said lightly, "If you do not agree with our terms, I am afraid that more than these two cities and one castle will be lost."

　　 "The loser does not have the power to bargain with us." Military Commander Bandak added with a sneer on the side.

"you……"

Even though Lucius felt unwilling to reconcile, he still couldn't refute their words. As the kingdom’s diplomat, he knew the real situation of the kingdom now: after the defeat in the Sinlan Plains, the expedition army could return safely with the king. There are fewer than 500 people in the capital of Yakiko, and there may be some lucky soldiers who can return to their hometowns, but there is no need to expect them to go to the battlefield again.

　　 At the same time, the enemies of the kingdom are not limited to the Ravana people in front of them. If they know that the kingdom is no longer available, they will definitely be eager to send troops.

Thinking of this, Lucius could only helplessly accept Bandak and Oscar’s terms. He said with a trembling voice: "On behalf of Your Majesty Owicko, I agree to your terms, but the captured nobles and soldiers please release some of them first. , We will prepare the ransom as soon as possible."

　　 "This is no problem. In order to show our sincerity, we will release two hundred prisoners of war first." Bandak said with a smile, which was full of malicious intent in Lucius' eyes.
