Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 "I always have a question."

　　 On the way to send Ulea to the port, Richard asked casually.

"what?"

　　 "How did King Anders make sure that Ingiarde would launch a rebellion?"

　　 "Because he is naturally greedy, cruel, and jealous, once he seizes the opportunity to gain higher power, it is impossible to give up."

　　 "……"

　　 Richard seemed to be persuaded, he changed his mind and suddenly felt that he was thinking a little bit one-sidedly. As Ulea said, the inheritance law of the Kingdom of Falkeni is an equal share of inheritance for men. As long as the little prince does not die, even if Ingiard marries the princess, he cannot inherit part of the old king's inheritance after his death.

　　 "My Lord Earl, when do you want to leave?"

　　 Before boarding and leaving, Ulea asked.

　　 "I need ten days of preparation time. After ten days, I will lead the army and set out. I hope that when I arrive, the war between you has already occurred."

　　 "I will persuade His Majesty the King to do it when I arrive." Ulea nodded, then touched his chest with his right hand, and said: "My Lord, I hope you can see you and your army fighting bravely by then."

　　……

　　 After sending Ulea away, Richard returned to Nuremberg.

　　As soon as he entered the town hall, Stephanie walked up face to face, and Richard stopped looking at her beautiful calm face.

　　 "Richard, I heard that a messenger from the Kingdom of Falnick has just arrived?" Stephanie asked first.

　　 "Yes." Richard nodded, "What's the matter?"

　　 Stephanie did not answer, but continued to ask: "Did he ask you to join the war on the condition of forming an alliance?"

　　 "Yes." Richard was a little surprised, why Stephanie seemed to know everything.

"If you have agreed, then I suggest that you be ready to go." Stephanie said, looking a little helpless. "The situation in the Kingdom of Falnik is not as simple as the messenger told you. In fact , The power of the royal family is weak, and there is almost no deterrent in the eyes of the local nobles."

　　 "What?" Richard couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.

"This is what I learned from the merchants from the Kingdom of Falnik." Stephanie first explained her source of intelligence, and then said: "The royal family of the Kingdom of Falnik is not strong. They can only rely on the nobles. Support to maintain the rule."

　　 "The only true loyalty to the king is the one or two earls."

　　 "What's the situation with Nain Giard?" Richard asked.

"How could I know that, I'm not a prophet." Stephanie gave Richard a blank look, and then said: "If you are really involved in the Farnike civil war, then you must be prepared for the pressure. Because the power of the royal family is simply unreliable."

　　 "……"

　　 Seeing that Richard was silent, Stephanie thought he was frightened and retreated, so she teased: "Why, our little war **** Richard is scared?"

　　 "No." Richard shook his head, "I'm just thinking about the military power of the Farniks compared to the kingdom and Ramirez."

　　 "Of course it can't be compared." Stephanie said of course: "The Kingdom of Falnik is just an island nation in the sea of ​​shining. There is no war in peacetime. They are better at naval battles than land battles."

　　 "That's it!" Richard clapped his palms and said: "My soldiers are all elite marines. I may not be able to defeat the Falniks in naval battles, but they must not be my opponents in land battles."

　　 "You're really arrogant..." Stephanie looked at Richard with a confident face silently, and said to herself.

　　 I have a bottom in my heart and don't panic in a war. Richard, who learned about the probable strength of the Falniks, became confident. He checked the army he currently had, and after thinking about it, he decided to bring the feudal knights and the Danish army that he had set out before—in his eyes. , The feudal knight is now the most powerful arm.

　　 I forgot to say that in view of the poor performance of the farmers, Richard has completely driven them out of the battle sequence and turned them into logistics work.

　　Therefore, the soldiers that Richard took away included 22 early general guard knights, 120 feudal knights, 90 civilian archers, 34 Nordic Tomahawk cavalry, and 57 Viking raiders, for a total of 323 combatants.

In addition, naval power is also essential. In the port of Kuban, Richard’s weak navy is anchored: a combination of three Viking long ships and four Kuban warships, and seventeen. A seized pirate warship that has not been dealt with.

　　 Those seventeen pirate warships can't exert their combat effectiveness. Even if they are put into use, they can only transport troops for the army. The real battle still depends on the seven warships.

　　 After thinking about it, Richard decided to recruit a wave of warships.

　　 Nuremberg-the capital

　　 Governor: Richard Stuart (national leader)

　　 Income: 1502

　　 Population: 4,523

　　 Labor force: 2250

　　 Population growth rate: 2.5%

　　 Social order: 145%

　　 City tax rate: medium tax rate (low tax rate, medium tax rate, high tax rate, very high tax rate)

　　Can build buildings: militia barracks, ballista workshop (sorry ~www.readwn.com~ I forgot to add it because of negligence, now make up), public farms, markets, tannery workshops, brothels, chapels, converted into castles

　　Buildings built: wooden walls (upgradeable), security barracks, ports, chanting houses, town offices, grain shops, leveling land, roads, mines

　　Recruitable units: town militia (3), Kirk warship (2), diplomat

　　 Looking at the city interface in front of him, Richard suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to build a building. He looked at the row of buildings and decided to build a militia barracks and a tannery first.

　　 The militia barracks cost 1,200 dinars, while the tannery only costs 600 dinars. This total 1,800 dinars is just a drizzle for Richard.

After 　　, he checked the Kirk ship again.

　　The Kirk warship is a small vessel with keel, rudder and sloop that appeared in the 11th century. It was originally used as a European trade cargo ship to navigate the turbulent waves of the Atlantic Ocean. The Kirk warship is equipped with a small number of armed infantry and archers, and the crew can also participate in the battle.

　　 The number of soldiers on the Kirk warship is only 37, but the recruitment cost is 500 dinars, which is similar to the cost of constructing a first-class building.

　　 Richard looked at the 4841 dinars in the treasury, and after thinking about it, he decided to recruit two Kirk warships. I believe that the most advanced warships in this game shouldn't be sorry for his price.
