Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 "The princess was taken away?"

　　 Looking at Buck who was still weak, Richard looked stern and asked again.

　　 "Yes, Your Royal Highness Richard." Buck sighed and recounted what happened that day. After listening, Richard was silent.

　　 "No matter what the situation of Princess Sophia is, we must send troops to rescue." Richard said, "I will order the army of Luwen City to dispatch, and you will need to lead the way."

　　 The following sentence was for Buck and the old man who had saved him.

　　……

　　 The next morning, Lu Wencheng’s army arrived at Richard’s order. These troops were all feudal knights. If it weren’t for the attack on the robber’s nest on the mountain, the chain cavalry would follow along.

　　 Oh, by the way, the feudal knights here are not like in the game where they can only be fixed on horses. They can dismount to fight at any time, but they can exert greater power when fighting as cavalry.

　　Richard's knights are as powerful as the royal cavalry. He doesn't think those thieves can defeat his own army of knights.

　　 This confidence didn't come to an abrupt end until Richard saw the thieves' lair under the leadership of the old farmer.

　　 What kind of nest is easy to defend and difficult to attack. A three- to four-meter-high wooden city wall was built on the steep mountainside and surrounded a large number of thatched houses. A trench of unknown depth was dug out of this city wall. The outside of the city wall was layered with sharpened wooden thorns. There is only one road to the city gate-a winding mountain road.

In addition, let alone the thieves archers standing on the tower behind the city wall, Richard has reason to believe that anyone who wants to attack this lair must experience difficulties and obstacles against the firepower of the defender. In order to reach beyond the wooden wall, and then look at this barrier and sigh.

　　 However, looking at the knights in exquisite armor behind him, Richard didn't think the arrows shot by these thieves could bring them casualties.

"Send someone to persuade you to surrender symbolically. It is best if the other party is obedient and obedient. If you can't, you can attack directly." Richard sat on the war horse, leaning back slightly, and said to the sheriff Blaze. After listening, he promised and greeted one of his entourages to persuade him to surrender.

　　 There is no way, Richard’s staff are basically knights, it is impossible to persuade the knights to do this kind of thing.

　　 The entourage did not let Richard and the others wait for a long time. After less than five minutes, the entourage came back with a blank face.

　　 "Lord Earl, the thief asked us to pay one hundred thousand morse coins before he was willing to release the captured princess and his party back." He said.

　　 "No more talk." Richard shrugged his shoulders with an unexpected look, "The negotiation failed, prepare to tackle the tough problem!"

　　 "Making siege equipment, ready to attack!"

　　 Following Richard's order, the knights took off the obstructive armor and rolled up their sleeves to cut down the trees under the mountain. It only took a few hours to build a few rough long ladders.

　　 Then, the feudal knights dismounted, carrying a long ladder and began to attack the city.

　　 "Offensive! For Richard!"

　　 The knights shouted slogans. The people in front held up their shields to defend against the arrows shot from the sky and covered the robes behind them, while the latter took up the ladder together and walked along the mountain road.

　　 The arrows of the defender were sparse and could not cause damage to the Cavaliers. This surprised Richard. If he were to command, he would definitely focus on defending the mountain road instead of letting the enemy pass easily.

　　 At the same time Richard was defamating, the knights rushed under the wooden wall with sparse arrows. They set the long ladder outside the wooden wall and then began to climb. The thieves standing on the wooden wall and shooting at the sight of something bad, shouted the wind and ran away.

　　 The young knight who was the first to climb the wooden wall looked dumbfounded at those who fled. The expected resistance did not appear at all, making him unresponsive.

　　 "What are you doing in a daze? Chase after victory!"

　　 The shouts of his fellow robe behind pulled him back to reality, and the young knight hurriedly raised his shield and rushed to the stairwell, preparing to open the city gate with his fellow robe.

At the same time, Lavis, who learned that the officers and the army had called in, summoned those who were searching for fugitives-it was precisely because they were busy searching, that the outermost wooden wall was only defensively in twos and threes. There is no way to achieve decent resistance.

　　 The band of thieves had already suffered heavy losses in the battle to ambush Sophia and his party, so Ravis was able to assemble not many people, only more than a hundred people.

　　 And how can these more than one hundred people be able to beat Richard's feudal knights, only one face to face after the battle, these thieves were defeated by the whole army, and even Lavis died under the sharp knight's sword.

　　 The success of the battle was beyond Richard's expectation. In less than an hour, the Lavis thieves’ lair was conquered, the bandit leader was killed, and the thieves dispersed.

　　 However, apart from the hanged knight and the scarred body of the maid~www.readwn.com~ Richard even searched all the houses in the lair, but did not find Princess Sophia.

　　 Princess Sophia, where did you go?

　　……

　　 "I... where am I..."

Toby was awakened by a burst of pain. He rubbed the back of the attacked neck with a painful expression, then his face changed abruptly and jumped from the ground, subconsciously pulling out the saber around his waist, but he touched it. Empty.

　　 "Don't be nervous, it is safe here."

At this moment, a hoarse voice rang out from behind Toby. He was shocked and quickly turned around and assumed a fighting posture. However, the next second he was stunned because he stood behind the speaker. To Princess Sophia.

　　 "Your Royal Highness, you..."

　　 Before Toby could finish speaking, Princess Sophia chuckled softly and interrupted him: "Toby, this Mr. Marlowe brought me here."

　　 "Mr. Marlowe?" Toby looked at the unshaven man suspiciously, who was extremely sloppy, but his eyes were bright and full of life.

　　 "Yes, if it weren't for Mr. Marlowe to rescue me, then I might have fallen into the clutches of thieves by now."

　　 "Okay." Toby nodded, bowed to the man called Marlowe, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Marlowe."

　　 "No thanks, I mistaken you for one of them before, and gave you a stick behind, I hope you can forgive me." Marlowe said apologetically.

　　 "It turned out to be you." Toby had a real sense of it. He touched the still aching wound and gave a strong smile, "I understand, I will do it for safety."

　　 "It's just that I use a deadly sword instead of a stick." He added silently in his heart.
