Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 "General Wood Keane was killed, the army was wiped out, and the despicable rebel Ingiard is marching towards Aosta!"

　　 "The unspeakable cannibals crossed the Ermeron Horse Valley!"

　　 "Ingiard Arnold takes the city of Boens!"

　　 "Inguiardjar is approaching Aosta!"

　　……

Since the news of Wood Keane’s death in battle reached Aosta, new battle reports will be sent to the capital every few days. The closer the forward of the noble rebels is to Aosta, the residents of the city treat the leaders of the rebels. The name also changed accordingly.

　　 King Anders knew all this very well, but he had no intention of paying attention to it. The city defense forces of Aosta and the royal imperial army only left more than 800 soldiers. In the face of the menacing aristocratic rebels, he didn't know if it was possible to fight back.

　　Wood took away all the standing army of the royal family and the levies provided by the nobles who were still loyal to the royal family. However, these troops were completely annihilated in the Battle of Manan City, making King Anders and the nobles unable to resist the offensive of the rebels.

　　 "Your Majesty, the striker of the rebels has reached less than fifty miles from the city of Aosta."

　　 A voice brought King Anders back to reality. He raised his head lazily and turned his eyes to the incoming person, who turned out to be his loyal military commander.

　　 "Hubbard, the city should have been upset by now." King Anders ignored the military situation reported by the other party, but asked about the city.

　　 "……"

Hubbard was silent. He considered the words in his belly and didn't know how to say it. Anders vaguely understood what he looked like. He hummed and said, "If I didn't guess wrong, those people I should be discussing how to welcome Ingiard and my Asa."

"No, Your Majesty..." Hubbard's face changed and he waved his hands to explain, but was interrupted by the old king. The latter coughed and slowly got up from the throne. Hubbard quickly stepped forward to help. Holding Anders' hand.

"Hubbard, Earl Cuban of the Kingdom of Ravana promised Ulea to lead the army to assist us, but until now I haven't seen any reinforcements." Anders said, with a bit of bitterness on his face. "But with the current situation, I am afraid that even if the reinforcements come, they will not be able to return to heaven."

　　 "No, your majesty, we can still hold on to the city of Aosta until reinforcements arrive."

　　 "..." Anders just wanted to speak when the warning bell from outside the window sounded abruptly, ringing across the city.

"This is..." The expressions of the two changed drastically at the same time, and Anders walked out of the room with Hubbard's support and walked towards the exit of the palace. All the guards who saw along the way looked serious, holding weapons and shields in formation. Ran to the gate in groups,

The two of them walked out of the palace gate together with the Guards, and at this moment, a soldier rushed over, kneeling directly in front of the old king, and reported: "Your Majesty, an army carrying the flag of Orioles has arrived. Outside the city, most of them, most of their army are monsters with full body armor..."

　　 "Monsters with full body armor?" Hubbard frowned and found that things were not simple, and asked: "What do those monsters with full body armor look like?"

"They..." The soldier recalled the scene he saw not long ago, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. "Those monsters are tall. Their upper body is human, but their lower body has the body of a deer. No, that's bigger than a deer's body. They are also wearing armor made of steel and holding thick and long tapered objects in their hands."

　　 "What is that?" King Anders and the military commander Hubbard looked at each other, fearing the armored monster in the soldier's mouth.

　　Although there was fear in his heart, the pride of being a king prevented Anders from showing it, so he pretended to be calm and ordered the soldiers to lead the way, and then took the assembled guards to the wall.

　　 An hour later, the army holding the banner of Yingweihua, led by Richard, slowly marched into Aosta City.

　　 The knights riding high-headed war horses in the Cuban Army felt the fearful eyes of the soldiers from the defenders of Aosta. Although they were strange in their hearts, they still held their heads high and drove their horses on the paved road. Their gaze hidden under the helmet visor curiously observes the royal capital of the Kingdom of Falnik and the soldiers and residents of the Kingdom of Falnik from time to time.

　　 "Earl Richard, thank you for extending a helping hand when the kingdom is in crisis." King Anders who walked in the front said in a grateful tone.

　　 "Your Majesty, it is my honor to be able to fight with you." Out of etiquette, Richard did not ride on a war horse, but walked with him.

　　 "Earl Richard, if you can quell Ingiard's rebellion, the Kingdom of Falnick will be your most loyal ally when you counterattack the Kingdom of Winster in the future."

　　 Regarding the promise of King Anders, Richard smiled slightly, but he changed the subject without comment and said: "Your Majesty, before this, we should first consider how to repel the rebels."

　　 "Ah~www.readwn.com~Yes." King Anders nodded, looked around and found that this is not a suitable place to talk, and said: "When I return to Alrea Palace, I will explain everything to you."

　　……

Located in the Alrea Palace on the Alrea hill in Aosta, King Anders didn’t do much nonsense after he brought Richard to the council hall, and straightforwardly explained all the aristocratic rebel forces he knew. come out.

　　In the battle of Manan, although the battle was won by night attacks, the stubborn resistance of the Royal Army still caused heavy casualties to the noble rebels. Even so, Ingiard still chose to march on Aosta. And the army under his command, in addition to the army directly under his command, the army sent by the various noble allies totaled nearly 2,500.

　　 In this army of nearly 2,500 people, there are more than 500 elite iron-clad infantry, more than 800 militiamen, and the rest are peasants who have been conscripted from the land and have not undergone military training.

Compared with the military strength of the noble rebels, the only combination of the Aosta city defense army and the imperial guard that King Anders can rely on is much pitiful. The royal imperial guard has 600 soldiers, but the city defense army There were only more than two hundred people left (the rest were accompanied by Wood Keane). If Richard didn't arrive in time, the combination of these eight hundred people would be able to hold on to the city, but there would never be a way to counterattack.

And now Richard is here, and he also brought elite feudal knights. The many knights under his command were destined to be unable to stand behind the strong wall with the Kingdom Army. Instead, he chose to find a flat battlefield to make a final decision with the enemy. The decisive battle.

　　 What's more, the Farniks have never seen cavalry. The experience of preventing cavalry charges is blank. Richard's powerful cavalry will surely allow these foolish islanders to see the power of cold weapon tanks.
