, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of the Empire, Total War!

In the city of Ravana, faced with a sudden attack by Richard's army, even though the defenders wiped out many infiltrating enemies after the initial chaos, they were still succeeded by the enemy and enlarged part of the troop carrier entered the city.

Then, hundreds of Danish soldiers and sailors boarded the dock and fought close to the enemy. Some of the sailors who stayed on the ship operated the ship-borne ballista and fired at the enemy on the ground. The light from the torch held by the enemy Exposing their location, like a living target on this dark night, allowing the ship-borne ballista to strike accurately.

Whoosh-boom! A stone was shot from the ship-borne ballista and rolled and fell into the crowd, turning the defenders on their backs and disrupting their formation. Taking this opportunity, the Nordic swordsmen stepped up their offensive and retreated the defenders. The rocks flying out from time to time in the dark night brought strong pressure to their hearts, and every scream that they didn't know where they sounded made them feel terrified.

Finally, under the offensive of Richard’s army, the enemy in the port began to retreat. Perhaps it was because he knew that the landing of Richard’s army was irreversible. It’s better to retreat to the city for street fighting.

But could the Danes allow them to withdraw into the city smoothly? The answer is obviously impossible.

Under the command of Admiral Sigurd of the Navy, the brave Nordic warriors screamed like a demon coming out of hell, giving the retreating defenders a powerful psychological shadow. In the darkness, people are constantly being overtaken by the Nordics. The soldiers threw down and chopped over, and the heart-piercing screams severely shook their psychological defenses.

Just like the hint in the game, once the tactical retreat is chased by the enemy, it can easily become a true complete defeat. Under the chase of the Nordic warriors, the defending soldiers who had been fighting at night and were not motivated to fight finally defeated. They screamed and left the team, scattered and fled, and escaped into the alleys around the street under the cover of night. Become an unrestrained rout.

Then came the one-sided slaughter.

"Offensive! Victory belongs to us, victory belongs to the empire, victory belongs to the people of God!"

Admiral Sigurd of the navy draped all over, and personally lifted his sword to chase the defeated soldiers. Around him, there were the Nordic warriors cheering all the way like a rainbow. From time to time, the defeated soldiers were chased by the deadly tomahawks from behind. After cutting his back, the man fell to the ground with a scream and allowed future generations to step on him. He couldn't react. In the end, he could only be trampled into flesh.

It was not until the sky dawned that Sigurd ordered his subordinates to stop the pursuit, because in front of them, the tall second wall stood on the banks of the Fabrizi River, blocking their way, and the wall emerged from the crenellation. The arrows that shone with cold light silently warned them not to continue pursuing them.

"To take full control of the entire outer city and announce to the people of Ravana that the army of Princess Stephanie, the most legitimate heir to the kingdom, has returned!"

...

"People of Ravana, please listen to me!"

During the day, under the coercion and lure of Sigurd, the officials living in the outer city were forced to take to the streets to publicize Richard’s views to the civilians. The residents of the outer city were surprised to find that overnight, the entire outer city The city changed its owner.

"The whole kingdom is already at a critical juncture. After the usurper Bandak's despicable seizure of the throne that does not belong to him, he unites with the Winsters in the north to attack against his forces. Our Princess Stephanie and Earl Cuban are besieged in Bell. Hong Kong, fight against the evil coalition forces of the usurpers!"

"The people of Lavana, think about what the Bandak and Winsters did to us. He expropriated and forced us to pay illegal taxes; they run wild in the city and force our merchants to sell them at low prices. The commodities they were fond of, they also bullied the civilians for ridiculous reasons. Even me, a dignified kingdom official, was brutally forced to pay the so-called protection fee!"

The officials standing on the street became more and more excited. He waved his hands and shouted loudly: "Where is our king? Bandak has not punished those **** Winsters, but also made us give in without a bottom line!"

"The people of Lavana, what is the qualification of Bandak, the usurper, to be our great king? Now that Princess Stephanie and Earl Richard’s armies are back, they need our help. Please be brave to take up arms and show The remaining rebel forces in the city declared war!"

Perhaps it was provoked by the dissatisfaction with Bandak and the Winster Expeditionary Force, or perhaps it wanted to help Princess Stephanie, the "Royal Flower", regain her throne, perform well in the war, and win the princess’s favor. At the call of the officials in the outer city, the conscription point set up by Sigurd in the city surged. Everyone put on the armor left by their ancestors, took up shields and weapons, and joined Sigurd's army.

In just two days, Sigurd recruited nearly a thousand citizen soldiers and completely controlled the entire outer city, encircling Bandak’s forces in the inner city. However, before they were completely surrounded, they were in the inner city The new crown prince Baden sent his cronies out of the city and rode a fast horse to the southwest.

Knowing that the outer city of Ravana was occupied, Bandak and Jutian were furious. At the same time, they were also worried about the supply line of the army, because their supplies were all supplied by Ravana. Once the city fell, all Food will fall into the hands of the enemy, and they will also fall into a situation where they will run out of food.

Therefore, Bandak and Jutian gave up the siege of Port Bell and wanted to return to the city of Ravana when they started their troops. However, how could Richard let them successfully retreat, so he led his troops out of the city with the intention of leaning against the city wall. A decisive battle with the Bandak coalition forces within the range of.

These are all things to do.

...

"attack!"

The outer city of Ravana ~lightnovelpub.net~'s attack on the second city wall is about to begin.

The inner and outer parts of the city of Ravana are surrounded by a moat. This moat is connected to the Fabrizi River. It is a masterpiece planned at the beginning of the city's construction. The purpose is to better protect the inner city. The moat perfectly separates the inner city from the outer city. The passage between the two places depends on stone bridges that span the river. Therefore, if Sigurds want to attack the inner city, they must pass through the stone bridge, but the defenders do not. It would easily let Tema pass, as can be seen from the gleaming arrows that emerged from the crenellations.

Sigurd is not only infantry. After seizing control of the sea wall, the remaining warships blocked also sailed down the river into the city. The ship-borne ballistas of the entire fleet are the best cover for the infantry.

Due to time and space constraints, the Sigurd Army can only use the simplest ladder. The citizens contributed various ladders in their homes, which were then assembled by craftsmen, and finally formed a ladder with the same length as the city wall. .

From behind these ladders, Sigurd could see the unity of the residents of the outer city. He believed that the final winner of this war must belong to him.
