Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 "This is Kuban Island, where the Moorish pirate group fell."

　　 Looking at the scenery along the way, Ulea Kenneth whispered.

　　 "It's hard to imagine, it is said that the age of Earl Cuban is not much different from Prince Jeff, and he was only sealed for a few months when the pirates invaded."

　　 "I don't know if the Earl Cuban can help us..."

　　 With confusion about the future, Ulea arrived in Nuremberg with the horse team. After inspection, they were allowed to enter and were taken to the town hall to meet Richard.

　　……

　　He is very young.

　　 This is Ulea’s first impression of Richard.

　　Even though Ulea knew from the rumors that the Governor of Cuban who defeated the Moorish pirates was young before he came, he did not expect the other party to be so young-no, it can be described as young.

　　 According to the rumors, Richard is still underage now, just a little devil. This is what Ulea didn’t believe. In his eyes, Richard, who was able to counter-kill the Moorish pirates with his meager military power and lead his troops to respond to the Kingdom’s enlistment, would never be as young as the rumored underage, because this was This is something unheard of in history.

　　 What he saw with his own eyes today let him know that he was wrong and that Richard was really that young. Although his face still had the immaturity of a child, the childishness on his body had completely disappeared, replaced by a faint majesty and murderous spirit-which was cultivated through the fire of war.

Just when Ulea was surprised by Richard’s youth, the latter also took the opportunity to observe the foreign envoy. In front of him, Ulea was of medium size, with long blond hair that was carefully treated and placed on the back of his head. . He was dressed in a black robe, with a beautiful pattern embroidered with gold thread on the collar of the robe, and he knew his identity was noble at first glance.

Ulea reacted quickly. He noticed his defeat, coughed slightly, and said respectfully: "My name is Ulea Kenneth, from the Kingdom of Falcony, it is the diplomacy of King Anders. Manager."

"Your Excellency Ulea, I am Richard Stuart, Earl of Kuban and Luwen of the Kingdom of Lavana, and welcome you to Nuremberg." Richard said lightly, his tone inaudible. the meaning of.

　　Ulea didn't care about this, he still respectfully said: "Earl, I am here this time to reach an agreement with you that has always been beneficial to both parties."

　　 "Oh? What agreement?"

　　 "Before explaining, please tell me what happened in the kingdom, Lord Earl." Ulea said.

　　 Richard nodded and motioned for him to continue. After getting permission, Ulea sorted out the words, and then said...

It happened in the capital of Aosta half a year ago. Now, King Anders of the Kingdom of Falcony, who is 51 years old, made his newborn son Goodfried the crown prince of the kingdom. An adult daughter is very dissatisfied. Because the inheritance law in the Kingdom of Falkney is the male priority equal inheritance system, if there is no Goodfried, the two of them can evenly divide his kingdom after Anders's death.

　　 And before Goodfried was born, the crown prince of the kingdom was indeed the princess Mel. The 34-year-old eldest princess Mel has never married anyone for various reasons, but she still won the support and support of a group of nobles; although the other princess Asa married Turgoyaer (Jar in France) In Erkney, it means duke) Ingiard, but he also has the right to inheritance, and Ingiard is also eager to get more territory by virtue of his wife's inheritance right.

　　 But as soon as Goodfried was born, everything was messed up.

Only a few days after the birth of the prince, the infant Goodfried was assassinated several times. Although every time he was rid of danger, it still made King Anders furious, and then ordered the spy chief Ingia. Erd (yes, that's the Turgaard) thoroughly investigated the matter, but after a few days of tracing, he still had no clue.

Therefore, King Anders, who was suspicious by nature, turned his suspicion on Ingiard and sent someone to investigate secretly. This investigation actually allowed him to find out something—there are some evidences that he was assassinated several times. Behind the scenes there is the shadow of Ingiard.

　　 Although King Anders was so angry when he learned about it, he did not dare to act rashly. As the only second Yar in the kingdom, the power of Ingiard is not something that King Anders can easily fight against. In fact, he has always relied on one side to suppress the other to maintain the balance of the kingdom.

　　 However, this balance was quickly broken.

One month after the birth of the little prince, Bamberg Jal Kresimir passed away. His three sons inherited the fief and property of Kresimir. The power that the royal family could rely on was instantly weakened, and Inguiar De became the most powerful noble in the entire kingdom overnight, and even faintly overwhelmed the royal family.

Although Inguiard hasn't taken any action yet, King Anders knows that he will attack the royal family sooner or later, even if the nobles who are effectively loyal to the royal family are willing to send troops to rescue ~www.readwn.com~ but they still can't beat Ingia Erde.

At this moment, the news of Richard breaking the Moore pirate group reached Aosta, reminding King Anders of the possibility of seeking help from a foreign country, so he dispatched the loyal diplomatic chief Ulea to the ambassador. Sea countries, on the surface, are strengthening ties with other countries, but in fact they are seeking assistance.

　　 However, even if Ulea broke his leg, no one was willing to agree to their request. In desperation, he thought of Richard and came to Kuban with the last hope.

　　 After speaking, Ulea looked at Richard who was silent all the way, and said: "My Count, I know that you were forced to exile from the motherland because of the rebellion, and from a dignified prince to the little earl of his country."

　　 "If you are willing to send troops to help us defeat Ingiard, the Kingdom of Falnik will always be your most loyal ally. When you counterattack the Kingdom of Winster, we will also do our best to send troops to assist."

　　 After speaking, Ulea shut up and watched Richard's reaction.

　　 To tell the truth, Richard was a little bit careful, not only because of his extreme dislike of the noble rebellion in his body, but also by Ulea’s last words.

　　 Richard lacks allies now. The Kingdom of Ravana is a good ally, but the usurper Jutian also has two foreign aids, the Republic of Cunha and the Duchy of Lasik, and his strength can still crush Richard.

　　 But if you add the Falnik people, it will be different. Although the Falnik Kingdom is not strong, one more ally will give you more power, but when the number is accumulated to a certain level, its quality is not to be underestimated.

　　 "Okay, I promise you." After figuring it out, Richard nodded and said with a smile, "Your Excellency Ulea, I agree with your proposal as Count Kuban."
