Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 "Stephanie, you can live here for the time being."

　　 Looking at the farm that is not too shabby, Richard said apologetically.

In view of Lu Wencheng’s environmental problems, combined with Stephanie’s identity, Richard still did not allow her to live in the city and enjoy the “scent of fragrance” all over the city. Instead, she chose a farm outside the city that looked better. Let's borrow for one night.

　　 "What about you?" Stephanie asked.

　　 "Of course I am back to Lu Wencheng." Richard smiled, "Tomorrow I will send someone to pick you up and find a new place for you by the way."

　　 "All right." Stephanie glanced at the trembling farmer's family standing at the door, and then pretended to be a rusher and said, "Go back, my earl cousin."

　　 "Yeah." Richard nodded, and then turned on his horse. After he sat down, he ordered Stephanie's guard knights: "You must protect the princess. If something unexpected happens, go to Lu Wencheng for help."

　　 "Understand, Your Highness Richard!"

　　 "Then I'm leaving." Richard finished speaking, and drove the horse in Stephanie's eyes, and ran towards Lu Wencheng with the knights.

After Richard and the others had gone far, Stephanie led the maid into the house. She looked at the only farmer’s family beside her, her lips lightly opened, and said: "You all go to sleep, I just borrowed one night, no You need to serve."

"Yes, sir, your Royal Highness." The farmer who was about to enter the old age said with a trembling voice, and then took his family to his room, watching them look cautiously, for fear of being a noble member of the royal family because of an offense. To deal with it.

Accompanied by the maid, Stephanie walked into the room prepared for her. The furnishings in this room are very simple. A bed, a table and a chair are all the furniture. The ceiling can be seen without cleaning. The cobwebs, the walls of the room are pitted, covered with loess, and people will sprinkle a lot of dust as long as they move lightly.

Stephanie, who walked into the room, looked at everything in the room, her good-looking eyebrows couldn't help but frown again. She stretched out her finger to point to the bed with the largest floor area, and asked the maid beside her: "There is a layer on top. Straw, can people sleep on it?"

Listening to Stephanie’s question, several maids peeked at each other, and then a maid who was born in a peasant household and was sold to the palace weakly explained: “In the countryside, poor peasants are basically lying on straw-paved beds. In the cold winter, they just put a few more layers of straw to keep warm."

"this……"

　　Stephanie was speechless. Looking at the dirty straw, she couldn't help but speculate whether there would be insects such as fleas in the straw. She waited for people to lie down and got into people.

　　 Thinking like this, she no longer had the courage to lie down.

　　 "I'd better sit in a chair for the whole night." Stephanie said, "You guys also find a place to sit. Tomorrow Richard will find us a better place to sleep."

　　 Just as Stephanie was worrying about the harsh environment of the farm, a dark figure slipped out of the farm while the royal knights did not notice, and ran to the nearby forest under the cover of night. I don't know how long he ran, he came to a small camp surrounded by a low wooden fence. Before he had time to rest, he was spotted by the night watchman and taken directly into the camp.

Due to the war, many robbers and bandits appeared in Luwencheng and other new territories conquered by the Kingdom of Ravana. The composition of these bandits was extremely complicated. Among them were deserters who were defeated and disintegrated, and some were forced to fall into the grass because of their lives. Farmers, there are also fugitives wanted for crimes.

And these people gathered together for various reasons, and quickly elected a few leaders. Under the leadership of the leaders, they made a living by robbing houses. In addition, they also developed an inside line among the nearby civilians to use Get information.

　　 Coincidentally, the owner of the farm where Stephanie was borrowing happened to be an insider of a band of thieves nearby. Out of coveting the wealth the princess carried with him, he finally decided to report this to the chief.

　　In the eyes of this hillbilly, the twenty-odd knights who protected the princess couldn't beat the band of thieves with more than a hundred people.

After listening to the information from the owner of the farm, the leader of the band of thieves was a little moved. Not to mention the wealth that the princess carried with him. The identity of the princess in the kingdom alone made him excited. He had never contacted a high princess. The princess catches her back and warms herself in the bed. It’s not beautiful...

What's more, I heard from the hillbilly that the princess looks better than the woman from the earl’s house who ruled here before—that’s the best-looking woman the leader has ever seen, and in fact this leader named Roy is exactly Wanted for offending the nobles...

　　 "Fuck her!"

　　 After thinking about it, Chief Roy immediately decided ~www.readwn.com~ and then the bandits in the entire camp were summoned, and they carried weapons to the farm.

　　 On the other side, the royal knights defending the princess dutifully stood by their posts, guarding against enemy attacks that were impossible in their eyes.

　　Since the scale of the farm is only two or three poor houses, it is only surrounded by a low wooden fence. The symbolic meaning of this wooden fence is greater than the practical meaning, and it can even be jumped over with a single jump. The knights climbed onto the roof and looked bored at the dark night sky and earth.

　　The battle broke out when the knights were caught off guard.

Under the guidance of the traitor, the Roy band of thieves launched an attack on the royal knights. The weapons they used were extremely simple. The long-range weapons only had a few poor hunting bows. To the enemy, even the hit rate of a few hunting bows is very touching, which is at the level where ten arrows can hit one arrow at most, and even that arrow can't cause damage to the knights.

After a sudden round of long-range attacks, the thieves shouted over the wooden fence to enter the yard, and started close combat with the knights who quickly reacted. The melee weapons of the thieves were also rudimentary, except for a small number of people equipped with iron. Apart from the weapons, they are basically wooden sticks and wooden spears. Even the knights' chain mail cannot break the defenses. The sharp swords equipped by the knights are like a magic weapon. Chopping thieves is like chopping vegetables.

　　 This battle was unequal from the beginning. The martial arts and well-equipped knights easily gave the enemy a heavy blow. The battle lasted less than ten minutes and ended in a rout of the thieves.

　　 There were no casualties among the knights, and the thieves left corpses all over the floor.

　　This makes Knight Commander Lynch very puzzled: Where is the confidence of these thieves and dare to attack them?
