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

In the Cunha area of ​​the Kingdom of Winster, the flames of war were ignited with the invasion of the army of the Kingdom of Derj. They came fiercely, but they were stopped by the well-prepared Second Army. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

Said that the stalemate is not at all. Earlier, Richard’s transfer was ordered, and the Second Army split up two spear militia groups and two Nordic swordsmen groups (a total of eleven companies, one group six companies, and another group. Five companies), one foot feudal knight group, two crossbow militia groups (eight companies, one group has four companies), two Nordic archer groups (six companies, one group has three companies), and one feudal knight The brigade (four companies) is stationed in the Cunha area and is ready to attack at any time. Although these troops only have 4180 people, half the strength of a legion, they can still easily repel the enemy's offensive when confronting the invading enemy.

After all, the army of the invading Kingdom of Derj was almost half of the army.

Although the number of the army of the Kingdom of Derj is smaller than that of the Second Army, due to the lack of generals, this half of the Army just stubbornly implements Richard's orders and confronts the enemy at the border.

All this was changed until the Danish general Toola Gris, who was based in Plange, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Cunha region. He advocating offensiveness in his bones, he ordered the whole army to attack as soon as he arrived at the front line. In his eyes, he had the advantage in numbers and the quality of the soldiers was also higher than that of the Derj. The flames of war were introduced into enemy land.

And he did so. Under his leadership, the legion launched an offensive against the army station of the Kingdom of Derj. Without prior knowledge, the people of Derj were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses and were forced to retreat. Toola Gris took advantage of the victory and pursued all the way into the border of the Kingdom of Derj, becoming the first major victory of the Winster-Ravana United Kingdom. Of course, these are all things to do.

While wars ignited in the north and east, the main battlefield in the west was a strange peace. After the declaration of war, the Pravia Kingdom did not rush to exped On the border of the Kingdom of Sinoe, waiting for the allied forces to arrive.

In addition, the silver mine located in the territory of Sukenya was also attacked. As one of the targets of this war, the silver mine will undoubtedly be attacked by the coalition forces. Until it falls.

Also because of the special location of the silver mine, on the first day of the official declaration of war, the silver mine was surrounded by the army of the Kingdom of Pravia. Looking at the black and crushing heads outside the fence, the two commanders of the highest-ranking brigade in the Sukenya Silver Mine had a low expression. The war broke out so suddenly that they could not prepare in advance and could only rush to meet the enemy.

On the ground outside the wall, in addition to the soldiers of the Pravia Kingdom, there were dozens of corpses of civilians living in the silver mines.

These civilians are the refugees from the Lijin Principality that Richard had collected in Osrig before. After they were escorted here, all the adult men and strong women were recruited into miners, and the rest were in the silver mines. Farming within the surrounding walls, or to gather food in the forest. Those corpses that fell to the ground belonged to the collection team. They did not escape after encountering the enemy, but were brutally killed.

"Vitaly, you go to calm the emotions of the civilians inside the wall, I am responsible for deploying soldiers to fight."

Looking at the enemy outside, the commander of the Third Heavy Sergeant Brigade, lined with delicate chain mail and wearing a black and yellow burqa, said in a deep voice to his partner beside him, who nodded and agreed. : "Torris, there are soldiers from our two brigade guarding, the farmers who have just walked out of the farmland outside are unlikely to win."

"I know this very well, Vitali." Torres said. "Your civilian archer team and my heavy sergeant team are more than enough to defend this silver mine. The only thing I worry about is the fighting outside. And the supplies in the silver mine."

"The war and supplies outside?" asked Vitali Karesin, the commander of the Second Civilian Archer Brigade. He quickly understood what his partner meant, but before he could say it, he heard a long muffled sound outside the wall. The sound of the horn-that is the signal of the Pravia's attack!

"It's too late to explain, Vitali." Upon hearing the horn, Torres reflexively pulled out the saber around his waist. After saying this to his partner, he raised the saber high. , Roared: "Brigade soldiers, gather! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Third Heavy Sergeant Battalion and the Second Civilian Archer Battalion, who had been worn out inside the silver mine fence, trot all the way, making a neat phalanx behind the fence. They were fully armed with their faces. With the desire and expectation for the upcoming battle.

Of course, most of the expectations are the emotions of recruits who have not been on the battlefield several times.

"Heavy sergeants enter their combat positions, civilian archers are ready to shoot at any time!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded in unison, and then ran to the combat position at the fastest speed. The soldiers of the heavily loaded sergeant battalion stood behind the wooden wall, staring at the enemy advancing with the horn. The civilian archers kept their formation. At the same time, they drew a few arrows from the quiver around their waists and inserted them on the not very hard ground within the wall to facilitate the use of arrows in the next battle of the city.

As the soldiers entered the fighting post, the civilians inside the wall were called by the commander of the Second Civilian Archer Brigade, Vitali Karesin, and settled in the barracks to avoid the war. This was also for their safety. , No one wants to see them killed in battle because of some accident.

On the wall ~lightnovelpub.net~, looking at the enemy gradually entering the range of civilian archers, and at the soldiers under his command with high fighting spirit, Commander Torres once again raised the saber and said loudly: "Warriors of the Empire We are in the enemy's situation, surrounded by enemy groups, but the true warriors will not be frustrated by this. On the contrary, they will become more courageous and smash any enemies who dare to offend the glory of the empire!"

"Huh! Huh! Huh!"

"Civilian Archers Battalion, ready to shoot!"

"call!"

Listening to Torres’s command, the civilian archers conditioned their bows to draw arrows, pulling their bows to the full moon, and aiming them up to the sky. Then, Torres shouted again: "Elevation angle 45°, keep moving and follow closely, Free to shoot!"

Whoosh whoosh——

As soon as his voice fell, a rain of arrows rose from behind the wall, flew up to mid-air, and then drew a black arc in the sky, roaring and falling into the advancing Plavia army, although most of them were The shields raised by the soldiers blocked them, but they still shot some soldiers over.

The first battle in the western battlefield was also the first battle of this war, and thus the curtain began!
