Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 132: Wang Shi

"Shield formation! Shield formation! Defend the king!"

Looking at the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who gathered in front of him into a tight shield formation, King Lawrence clenched his sword tightly. His figure in the royal robe was not strong, but at this moment, he still tried to straighten his chest and maintain himself. The dignity of being a king.

This was a despicable sneak attack. Just last night, a large number of elite rebel veterans surged out of the Tongtian Tower in the palace wall. They attacked the unsuspecting guards and killed them all the way to the palace wall gate. At this moment, the main rebel forces outside the palace wall began to attack the city, and the imperial guards defending the city wall had to abandon the line of defense and retreat to the palace under the attack of the rebels.

Just after the remnants retreated to the palace, the main rebels attacked the palace walls. They quickly occupied the Hall of Magic Deer, which was few guarded by them, killed the priests who had angered them for rebellion, and forced the others to accept the rule of Bandak.

"My dear brother Lawrence, long time no see."

For a long time, the stalwart figure of Bandak appeared in Lawrence's sight. He was dressed in the exquisite armor given to him by King Harous, like a victorious rooster, with the smile of a winner.

"Long time no see, my brother."

Looking at the other's familiar face, Lawrence had countless insults and countless curses in his heart that he wanted to roar, but in the end it turned into calm words.

He found that no matter how he hated his youngest brother before, but at the last moment, all the hatred could not be said.

"Lawrence, abdicate. I will keep your fief and let you spend the rest of your life." Bandak persuaded.

"Impossible." Lawrence shook his head and firmly refused: "This is left to me by our father and king. The Kingdom of Lavana has only kings who died in battle, and no king who voluntarily abdicated and surrendered."

"..."

Seeing Bandak's silence, Lawrence chuckled lightly, and then said: "Bandak, my brother, do you think you inherited the throne and become the new king. Will your rule last forever? Richard in the east is still there. Staring at you, I believe it will not be long before he will bring back the army of conquering the Ramirez and end your rule."

"But you have no chance to see that day." Bandak slowly inserted his saber back into the scabbard around his waist, and looked at his brother at sunset, "Before that, I will send you to accompany Burris and father. King, when the Kingdom of Winster dispatches troops, I will also send Richard, whom you have high hopes for, to your side."

"What?" Lawrence was taken aback when he heard that the Kingdom of Winster sent troops, staring at Bandak, and said: "How dare you ask for reinforcements from the usurper Jutian?"

"Reinforcement? The same can be said." Bandak shrugged: "My messenger only disclosed information about Richard to Jutian, and he immediately agreed to send troops. He and I were just using each other. I used him to remove obstacles that threatened my rule, and he used my request to send troops to eliminate the remnants of the previous dynasty."

"Good... good... good." Lawrence said several good times. He pointed at Bandak with a trembling hand, and finally turned into a long sigh. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "Banda K, attack, kill me, and inherit my throne."

"..."

"Offensive." Bandak said, and then turned and left. The soldiers behind him swarmed toward the thin line of defense formed by the royal guards.

When Bandak walked out of the palace, and the warm sun shone on him to make his whole person radiate, the soldiers cheered from the palace.

"The old king is dead, and the new king is enthroned. Long live King Bandak!"

...

At the same time, Fort Cochrane, which had been besieged by Richard for several months, finally fell. The defenders ran out of ammunition and food in the long siege, and had to surrender and transfer control of the fortified castle to Rawa. Na Kingdom Army.

After taking over the castle, Richard did not care about going to the city to repair it. At the urging of Princess Stephanie, he left more than a hundred imperial soldiers as the new defenders to take over the defense of the castle, and handed over the surrendered soldiers to Maximilian. The governor dealt with it, so he took the army to go out and rushed westward.

The war lasted for more than half a year. Not only did Richard's army not lose much, but on the basis of the original nearly 5,000 soldiers, more than 3,000 prisoners of war were added. The Gehrman army stationed at the border between Cork and Luwen had run out of ammunition and food not long ago, and was forced to surrender like the defenders of Cochranborg. After taking over the surrender, General Richard All the officers in China were cleared up, and the remaining soldiers planned to reorganize to prevent them from getting organized to resist Richard. At the same time as the reorganization, he promised generous rewards to the soldiers, which strengthened the morale of the soldiers in battle. The combination of a big stick and a sweet jujube allowed Richard to deepen his control of the descendants.

And just when Richard led the army into the Mafugat region, the bad news from Lavana was finally delivered-King Lawrence was killed in battle, and the city of Lavana fell completely~lightnovelpub.net~Bandak followed In the capital where the war has not extinguished, he was crowned as the new king for Bandak II (before him, there was another monarch in the history of the Ravana Kingdom called Bandak I).

Richard knew that his opportunity had arrived.

Regardless of comforting Stephanie, who was distraught by the loss of her father, Richard immediately ordered the entire army to stop marching and camp in place, and then convened several lieutenants in the army for a military meeting.

"Everyone, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is the best time for me to claim the highest position in the Kingdom of Ravana!"

In the commander's camp that was hurriedly set up, Richard stood in front of the crowd, shouting with a bit of excitement.

"Now King Lawrence died in battle, Bandak usurped the throne and claimed to be the new king, but everyone knows that his throne is illegal, he is a despicable usurper! As long as we play the banner of opposing the usurper, in the kingdom Holding the banner high, you will surely get the response of many nobles who are loyal to the old king. By then, we will overthrow Bandak’s illegal throne, and the whole kingdom is what I said!”

"Before that, I want to ask your thoughts first, Your Majesty." Kondela stood up and said at this time, "Do you want to take the throne of the Kingdom of Ravana?"

"Yes." Richard didn't mean to conceal at all. In fact, everyone here is an officer he trusts, and he has no need to conceal it. "As long as I obtain the throne of the Kingdom of Ravana, I will be able to counterattack Winster with the power of this powerful country."

I thought that my statement would be approved by Condela, but the other party actually shook his head and denied: "Your Majesty, I don't think you should be the king of the Lavannes."

"why?"

Confronted with Richard’s question, Kondela did not rush, and began to explain...
