Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 Four days later, the birthday banquet of King Catullanus of Riyadh was held in Braddke Palace as scheduled.

　　 Participants in the banquet were not only members of the royal family, but also aristocrats (though not many) and officials of the entire kingdom, as well as wealthy businessmen.

　　 As for the civilians, they went to fend for themselves after handing over the tribute to the financial officer. The royal family didn't even consider allowing the civilians to participate in it, and they got some joy.

　　 The common people seem to be accustomed to the attitude of the royal family. From their numb attitude, it is not difficult to see that it may have been the same in the past few years.

　　 It is naturally impossible for a city with an isolated island to prepare a luxurious banquet, even if the city is considered a developed trade center. In the banquet at Braddock Palace, the most expensive ingredients were the two roasted pigs. The rest were basically the seafood that must be seen in cities near the sea. The seafood feast here is far from the beauty of later generations. The chefs are just The hunted sea fish is grilled, wrapped in fresh vegetable leaves, and then sent to the table.

　　 However, it is commendable that the grilled fish from the Riyadh tastes good, far better than those cooked by Richard's chef on Kuban.

　　Bradeck Palace is full of singing and dancing, and it is so lively, but outside the tall palace walls are undercurrents. While the city defense army was enjoying the wine distributed by the royal family in the barracks, an unprecedented turmoil was about to come in various parts of the city.

　　 "People of Riya, please listen to me!"

"The king we support is enjoying the wealth of the entire kingdom at Braddock Palace. He pours delicious drinks into the pool to take a bath, hangs expensive barbecues on the shelves, as dense as a forest, even if these barbecues stinks. The rot will not be distributed to the hungry civilians."

　　 "For the birthday of His Majesty the King, how many people ran away their wealth in order to give gifts that satisfy the king and officials, and avoid being punished by the harsh criminal law."

　　 "The people of Riyadh, this is the King we support, we regard him as a god, he regards us as ants, and indulge in his running dogs to bully us at will!"

"Would you like to see your family members or people you know being beaten and scolded by officials at will, just because they didn't give up a way in time? Are you willing to see neighbors who greeted you in the morning and were accused of some kind of ridiculous crime in the afternoon? Caught in a dungeon full of rats?"

　　 "No! I don't want to see it!"

　　 "People of Riya, we can no longer stand the oppression of the king! We should stand up! Drive the rotten king out of Braddeck Palace and kill all the running dogs of the king!"

　　 "Rise up and resist!!"

　　 This is a premeditated rebellion. After the inflammatory speech was delivered, boxes were carried out of the house by young men with white strips tied to their right arms. After opening, there was a spear with a rough texture inside.

　　 "Let us march towards the barracks, persuade the city defense army to join our ranks, if they disagree, destroy them!"

　　 "Go to the barracks! Go to the barracks! Go to the barracks!"

　　 Almost at the same time, there were chants from all over the city. Then, groups of civilians in shabby clothes held up a mess of weapons and marched along the street towards the military camp near the port.

　　 However, the soldiers of the city defense army in the barracks were still enjoying the rare wine, and had not noticed the fire dragons that raised their torches and weapons to surround themselves.

　　 On the other side, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who stayed on duty on the palace wall quickly noticed the unrest in the city and the loud shouts. After preliminary judgment, these elite soldiers in the kingdom chose to sound the alarm. All of a sudden, the crisp bell of warning rang over the entire city. Whether it was the drunken soldiers in the barracks or the guests in the palace, they were all awakened by the bell that would not ring for ten thousand years.

　　 "It's the alarm bell of Braddeck Palace, hurry up!"

　　 Inside the barracks, the general of the city defense army awoke instantly after hearing the bell, suddenly bounced from his seat, picked up the saber hung on the wall, rushed out of the room, and shouted loudly. In front of him, the disciplined city defense soldiers were scattered crookedly on the military camp school grounds. Some of them were even so drunk that they fell unconscious on the ground.

　　 "Gather! Gather!"

Seeing these unconvincing soldiers, the general roared angrily, but a few seconds after he finished shouting, a soldier stumbled towards him, knelt directly on the ground, and said in a horrified tone: "General, general. , Outside the barracks are full of chaotic people, they are all armed with weapons, it looks like they are preparing to rebel!"

　　 "Rebellion?"

After listening to the soldier's words, the general felt that his eyes were dark and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the soldiers beside him quickly supported him with his eyesight and hands. After he stood firm, the general took a deep breath and asked in an incredulous tone. Said: "Those civilians, really want to rebel?"

　　 "It looks like it is." The soldier said with a weeping face, "General, those chaotic people have blocked the streets leading to the barracks tightly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com we can only defend the barracks."

　　 "hiss—"

After the general listened, he took a breath and pushed the soldier in front of him quickly to the tower of the barracks gate. When he boarded the tower, everything in front of him made him feel cold in his hands and feet, and he saw the empty space outside the barracks. The ground was filled with chaotic people holding torches and weapons. These chaotic people stood there noisily and did not attack, which still made him feel fear.

At this moment, a young man with a white stripe on his right arm walked out of the crowd. He walked to the gate of the barracks under the gaze of everyone and shouted: "Soldiers of the city defense army, our goal is to overthrow the king. , And put on a new king. We don’t want to meet you with swordsmen, as long as you can lay down your weapons, open the door, and surrender to us, all the evils you have done before will be forgotten!"

"Overthrow the king!" The general was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to yell at him, but in the end he stubbornly held back. He looked at the almost endless chaos outside the barracks, and then at the soldiers who had lost their combat power in the barracks, weighing in his mind. The pros and cons, I chose to follow my heart.

　　 "I am Hubbard, the city defense army general." The general shouted loudly, "I surrender to you on behalf of the city defense army. I just ask you to speak your mind!"

　　 "Well, as long as you open the city gate and lay down your weapons, we will not embarrass you."

　　 The young man shouted again. After listening to what he said, Hubbard, the city defense general, sighed and walked down the tower with the help of his own soldiers, and watched the barracks door slowly open.

　　 Then, he closed his eyes and allowed countless people to rush into the barracks cheering. He knew very well that the kingdom of Riya would be swept into the dust of history.

　　 "The city defense army has already taken refuge in us, brothers, continue to march towards Braddke Palace!"
