Rise of the Empire Total War

As soon as they entered the Grand Theater, the lines of the plays performed inside were clearly heard by the two Richards. They quickly passed through the front hall and entered the wide circular theater. The design here is basically the same as that of the previous theater. The auditorium surrounds the stage, which can better let the voice of the actors echo in the venue.

The front row of the circular auditorium is basically full. Douglas can only take Richard to a higher position in the back row and sit down. Sitting at a high place will see more clearly, but the sound heard will obviously be weakened. many.

　　 "This should be the performance of Kitty Wars of Goldsmith."

Looking at the actors dressed as soldiers of the Ossa city state and their lines on the stage, Douglas said, and soon he realized that Richard had not heard of it, and explained: "The famous Kitty city state of Goldsmiths A tragedy writer, the Kitty Wars he wrote is the process of the expansion of the Kitty city-state a hundred years ago. Although the Kitty people have won many battles in the war, they were finally defeated by the coalition forces of other city-states in the decisive battle. As a result, the main force was completely wiped out, and it was devastated."

Richard nodded, and then looked at the Kitty soldier actor who knelt on the stage and cried loudly. This young actor wearing a Corinthian helmet and linen armor was talking about it with the tragic music. The process of the decisive battle occurred, as he was telling the story, a white mist gradually floated behind him, followed by a team of actors and generals dressed in Kitty uniforms resisting the attacks of the enemy from all directions. The battle lasted for a short while. At the end, all the soldiers of the Kitty city-state died tragically, and the drama ended.

　　 After the drama ended, all the actors gathered on the stage, bowed to the audience, and then walked off the stage in an orderly manner. Looking at these actors, Richard suddenly asked: "How about the popularity and income of these theater actors?"

"Although it cannot be said to be very tall, there is no problem living in a place like the noble area, and in the noble circle, being able to invite a few well-known actors throughout the city to perform for their banquets proves the strength of this nobleman. "

　　 "So, the banquet at Trizi Palace that day..."

　　 "Don't you know that before the banquet, the performances for the guests are some of the most famous actors in the city. They dare not refuse to invite them with the power of His Majesty the King."

　　 was talking, the beep of the horn sounded on the stage, and the attention of the two was attracted to the past, looking for fame, it turned out that a new drama was about to begin.

　　...

　　 After watching three plays in a row, Richard and Douglas walked out of the theater. Looking at the yellowing sky, Richard realized that time had passed so quickly, and spent an afternoon without knowing it.

　　 Time is running out. If he stays in Ravana City for one or two days at most, he must leave here to go to Kuban Island. The earlier he goes, the more time he can prepare for the revenge of the Moorish pirates.

　　 Listening to the words of King Harous, the canonization ceremony will be held tomorrow. After the ceremony, he will be a legitimate Earl of the Kingdom of Ravana.

　　 Yes, although there is no town or castle on Kuban Island, King Harous still made the newly occupied Kuban Island a new earl and bestowed it on his grandson Richard.

　　 After saying goodbye to Douglas, Richard and the Janissary Guard officer Magnus who had been waiting outside for an afternoon and several loyal soldiers walked down the street towards the Trizi Palace. However, just walking out a few streets, Magnus suddenly reminded Richard in a low voice: "Your Highness, we seem to be being followed."

"Who?" Richard was startled, he was about to turn his head and look behind him, but was stopped by Magnus. He continued to whisper: "Don't turn your head and look at it. This will startle, we will continue. Go and see what the stalker wants to do.

"Okay." Richard nodded, pretending to continue walking forward as if nothing had happened, but his mind was completely disturbed by the mysterious stalker, and he couldn't help glancing behind him from the corner of his eyes, but no matter how he glanced, he just Can see the pictures on both sides.

After continuing to walk for a while, the tall palace wall of Trizi Palace has entered Richard’s eyes, but the stalker still did not move, which made his vigilance gradually lowered, as long as he entered the heavily guarded palace, Then he is absolutely complete.

Just as they approached the gate of the palace wall of Trizi Palace, Magnus said again: "His Royal Highness, the man is gone, but I saw his dress, he was wearing a gray robe, although his face I can't see clearly, but I can still vaguely see his goatee."

　　 "Goatee?" Richard secretly remembered in his heart that there were not many people who kept a goatee in Ravana, and there was not even one of them he had ever met.

　　 In Richard's troubles for the mysterious stalker with the goatee, time passed quietly, and soon came the next day, the day of the canonization ceremony.

The canonization ceremony was held in the main hall of Trizi Palace. The nobles of the entire kingdom were basically present. They talked about the new Earl Cuban, guessing whether he will survive the future war of pirate revenge, or will How to die to leave this world.

Everyone does not believe that Earl Cuban can rely on an island with nothing to defeat the pirate army that may come. Oh no, in order to support the new earl, His Majesty the King should give some support to his dear grandson. However, this support is obviously impossible, and it is still a drop in the bucket against pirates.

　　 In the discussion of the nobles, King Harous, dressed in costumes, appeared on the scene with Richard. The scene fell silent for a while, and only the sound of people's breathing could be heard.

　　 Then, at the sign of the palace chief, the trumpeters blew their instruments and the ceremony officially began.

　　 "Richard Stuart, come to me."

As people watched, King Harrods said majesticly. Richard took a deep breath and walked slowly in front of the opponent. In accordance with the etiquette taught before, he knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and looked at his own. foot.

　　King Harousi slowly got up, pulled out his saber, and gently pressed it against Richard's neck. The cold blade of the sword made the latter's skin constantly goose bumps, making him feel uncomfortable.

　　 "Richard Stuart, in the name of King Ravana, the supreme ruler of all Ravana people, I give you Kuban and everything on the island. Would you swear to me?"

"I wish to swear allegiance to you, the great King Haraus. I swear with my integrity that from now on I will be loyal to King Haraus and fulfill all my obligations as a vassal. I am willing to pay taxes on time. I Wish to hold the sword to fight for you and never deceive!"

"Very well, from now on, you and your descendants will be the lord of Kuban and the earl of the kingdom." King Harous nodded and said with a smile, and everyone around also clapped and trumpeted. It blew again, and the whole hall became lively again.

　　 However, the gloomy face of Bandar, the military commander of the kingdom, seemed particularly obvious in the crowd.
