Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 The knight masters of the Holy Roman Empire are well equipped. Whether on foot or on the go, they are equipped with excellent defensive chain mail, a barrel helmet, a knight-shaped shield and a sharp knight's long sword. Their war horses are also covered with a layer of robes to prevent the horses from being injured by the stray arrows.

　　 In addition, they are equipped with huge wooden lances like the chain cavalry. This is the main support for the heavy cavalry to show off their power.

The chain armor cavalry looks much inferior to the feudal knight masters. They usually wear a leather armor on the outside of the chain armor, and the head defense is about zero-because it is only the hood that comes with the chain armor. Their shields are bigger than the knight masters, and the more places they can protect.

　　 Because of the game mechanics, these knight masters don't need fiefs, as long as Richard can pay the military salary on time. In other words, their identities should be regarded as Richard's knights in the palace.

　　 The so-called inner palace knights are knights directly employed by the lord. They have no fief and are equivalent to Chinese doormen.

The feudal knights are superb fighting skills and fierce fighting. Compared with the knights in this world, Richard can believe that as long as he has thousands of feudal knights, it is not a dream to counterattack the Kingdom of Winster. Any army They couldn't stop him before the heavy cavalry charged the iron hoof!

Just as Richard admired the handsome appearance of the feudal knights, a guard knight rushed over and reported with his ear: "Your Majesty Caesar, Princess Stephanie of the Kingdom of Ravana and her guard are in town. Waiting outside, I want to see you in the city."

"Princess Stephanie? What is she here for?" Richard thought suspiciously. He then patted the knight on the shoulder and said, "Go and bring my horse. I will go to see Princess Stephanie now. "

　　 "Understand, Your Majesty."

　　 The knight promised, and soon went to lead Richard's mount over, the latter did not do much nonsense, and greeted the guard knights to go to the gate together.

　　 Outside the city gate, Princess Stephanie, whose face was concealed by a layer of tulle, frowned and looked at the small city in front of her with unspeakable disgust in her heart.

How should I put it, the city gave her a very bad first impression. Even if she was standing a few tens of meters away from the city gate, she could still smell the stench from the city. This smell seemed to be The smell of a public toilet that has not been cleaned for days-no, it is even more unacceptable than that smell.

　　 Although Stephanie is not the kind of dear princess who is accustomed to being pampered, even the royal knights who come with her can't accept this kind of taste, let alone her.

　　 "Your Royal Highness, do you really want to live here with His Royal Highness Richard." While waiting, a maid beside Stephanie asked weakly.

　　 "Otherwise, if he wants to be here, I can only be with him."

　　 "But it's too bad here, I'm afraid your body will be overwhelmed." The maid continued to persuade.

　　 "Even for father." Stephanie sighed, "What's the bitterness?"

　　 "Also, I don't think Richard will let me live in this terrible environment."

"Can…"

　　 The maid wanted to say something more, Richard's figure appeared at the gate of the city at this moment, and she closed her mouth quickly.

　　 "My dear cousin Stephanie, why did you come here?"

Richard, who rode out of the city gate, smiled and asked, today he is not wearing that exquisite general armor, but a most ordinary casual clothes, but this looks also gives him a kind of neighbor’s brother’s feel.

　　 is simple and intimate.

　　 Faced with Richard's question, Stephanie replied with that clear and sweet voice: "I have lived in the royal capital for a long time. I want to go out and see the newly conquered territory of the kingdom, so I came here to take a look."

　　 Richard didn't believe what she said very much, but he pretended to believe it on the surface, and invited: "In this case, why don't you follow me to visit the city?"

　　"..."

　　Stephanie obviously hesitated. She looked through the city gate and saw the dirty street. She gritted her teeth or nodded and agreed: "Please lead the way, my good brother."

　　 I don't know if it is an illusion. Richard always feels that Stephanie gritted her teeth when she said the three words "good brother".

　　...

When Richard led Stephanie back to the City Lord’s Mansion, it was time for dinner. Lu Wencheng didn’t have any delicious ingredients, so their dinner recipe consisted of only a few pieces of white bread and a few pieces of roasted meat, as well as some simple treatments. Vegetables and a glass of water.

Richard was able to accept these unpalatable foods. He originally thought that a member of the royal family like Stephanie would be unable to eat it. He did not expect that the other party would have eaten up his share casually. UU reading www.uukanshu.com did not reveal it in the middle. There was a slight expression of disgust.

　　 I have to say, this made Richard treat her somewhat admirably.

　　 Richard knew that Stephanie's purpose was not simple, at least not the reason she said. According to Richard’s guess, Lawrence probably meant it.

　　 He is not a little white who knows nothing. The books and experiences he has read in his previous life made him very clear about the reasons Lawrence and Burris proposed to him for their marriage. In the Middle Ages, the bonds between the nobles to consolidate relations and establish alliances were generally marriages between families. Only when they were married could Richard become one of them.

　　 Looking at the beautiful Stephanie in front of him, Richard suddenly felt that agreeing to the marriage would actually do no harm to him, at least for now.

Stephanie’s father will become the new king of Lavana sooner or later, and Lawrence’s knees are only Stephanie’s daughter and a boy who is still babbling. Before the boy grows up, Richard, as the son-in-law, will of course be reused. , The status is unprecedentedly improved.

And Richard and Stephanie’s children will also have the right to claim the kingdom of Lavana. If Richard wants to, he can even support his children as the new king of Lavana after counterattacking the Kingdom of Winster. .

　　 It's just that the premise of all this is based on Richard's ability to develop. Marriage with Prince Lawrence means that Richard will be an enemy of Bandak. They may not be able to deal with Lawrence and Burris, but it is easy to deal with a small earl like Richard.

　　 Even if Richard has the favor of King Harrods, there is not enough evidence to prove that it was the hands of the Bandak faction, and King Harrods could not help him.

　　Thinking about it this way, Richard still thinks it would be better to keep it like this for now.
