"The two armies confronted each other, and no one dared to attack rashly. One side is the anti-Wenster coalition with a superior number, and the other is the Winster army with a smaller number but elite heavy cavalry. The commanders of both sides are very clear that active offensive will be very big. Loss, a slight difference will lose this crucial battle... However, the kings that King Hymis missed have already fallen. —Anied Matthews, historian, on the first siege war Record"

...

Walking in the palace of Bennett City, Richard wiped a handful of blood splashed on his face, but made the dust-stained face even more filthy. He took a deep breath, but there was nothing in the air. The strong smell of blood and gunpowder made him choke with coughing again and again. It took a while before he came back. He looked at the soldiers around him who were fully armed and guarded, grabbed the robe behind him and put the sword on the sword. The blood stains were wiped off, and the sword was retracted into the scabbard again.

After several days of fierce attacks, he finally took the capital of the Deleras, and he also encountered the most tenacious resistance this year. No matter it was the day and night bombardment of a dozen artillery, they could not shake the fighting spirit of the Deleras. But in the end, they all died after the First Army swarmed into the collapsed city wall. The remaining soldiers retreated to the palace and tried to use the palace wall to continue their resistance, but they still vanished under the bombardment of artillery.

The siege of the Palais de la Royale was not simple. Even with the help of artillery bombardment, the heavy soldiers who were the backbone of the offensive still lost many soldiers before they wiped out the stubborn enemies, and a half of the corpses on the ground were him. Soldiers under his hands. After the war progressed, Richard finally couldn't help it, and personally led the matchlock gunmen to attack. Under the intensive shooting of the matchlock guns, the soldiers no matter how brave they were all became funnels, and they could only fall into a pool of blood unwillingly. .

At this moment, a person walked towards him. Richard did not recognize the other person for a while. After the other person walked in, he found out that it was Sandro, the firearms battalion commander.

"Your Majesty Caesar, our army captured the woman claiming to be Queen Atilisia and several children in the palace of the Dela people. They were protected by a group of heavily armed guards, but in the end they were still protected by our army. Captured." Sandro knelt on the ground, reporting.

"Aren't they injured?" Richard asked concerned, he was afraid that under the volley of arquebus and hand artillery, there would be stray bullets that would hit the royal family members of the Kingdom of Dela-they are Richard's future negotiations. A big bargaining chip.

"No." Sandro shook his head, and said with some emotion: "At the last moment of life, those loyal guards are still using their bodies as shields to protect several royal family members behind them all in one round. After the shot, they all fell, but the person they protected was unharmed."

"They are all loyal soldiers." Richard nodded, complimented, then changed the conversation and exhorted: "You will take someone to condense their bodies later and give them a decent funeral."

"Yes, Your Majesty Caesar." Sandro promised, and then he asked: "What should the Queen of Nadra and other members of the royal family do?"

"Bring them all here," Richard said.

Hearing that, Sandro nodded, and then took the arquebuses who followed him back in the same direction as when he came back. Looking at his back, Richard lost his thoughts. It is necessary for him to be called Ah. Queen Della of Tilicia talked, not only to show her noble spirit to comfort them, but also to use her to make King Hymis surrender.

The war continues to this day, and Richard is a little bored. The resistance of the remaining four-nation coalition forces is beyond his expectations. In this short year, he and his army have defeated dozens of coalition forces. Second, but the coalition forces seem to have a steady stream of soldiers, and they can come back every time and fight him again. (However, in the process of interrogating the prisoners, Richard still learned about the excessive mercenary composition in the coalition army, but he was a little helpless about it, and he could only feel that the coalition army had too much money)

After a while, Sandro brought a thin woman and four shivering children. After Sandro’s introduction, Richard also understood the identity of these people, that thin and thin. The woman is obviously Queen Aticia, and the trembling children behind her are the four princes and princesses of Heimer.

Richard observed with interest the "lonely" "orphans and widows". Although Queen Aticia was pale due to panic, she could still see her beauty, and the four behind her The child is worthy of his mother's genes (King Haymes himself, Richard, has only met him roughly, so he doesn't have much impression of his appearance), the boy is cute and cute, and the girl is like a lifelike porcelain doll. , Richard could not help but feel the urge to hug the other person in his arms and love him well.

At this moment, a thought came up in Richard's heart. When the war ended and returned to his hometown, he must give birth to a super beautiful princess with Stephanie.

Richard didn't know. He stared at the other person as if he was conspiring to commit misconduct, which made Queen Aticia's heart terrified. She held back the fear in her heart, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Respected Richard Your Majesty the King of Germany, you have won this war. As a prisoner, we are willing to accept any request you make, but please do not violate your aristocratic spirit."

"???"

Richard looked dumbfounded~lightnovelpub.net~ He scratched his head, reacted quickly, gave a dry smile, and said, "I know this very well, and I don't need your reminder, Honorable Queen Atilisia.

As the queen of the Kingdom of Dera, you and your children will be treated preferentially by our army. Your lives will not be affected in any way compared to before. The only difference is that you and your children will not be able to walk around until you pay A ransom worthy of the identity. "

"I understand, Your Majesty Richard." Queen Aticia said helplessly. She looked sideways at the four children behind her and said: "Your Majesty Richard, please allow me to take my children back. Going to the room, I think it is unforgivable to let the blood on the battlefield contaminate children."

"This is your freedom." Richard bent slightly and said. He still did not say the request for Queen Aticia to write a letter to persuade King Hymis to surrender. He just thought about it. This is probably an unrealistic idea. , But this does not mean that he will be helpless, he can also write to King Haymis directly in his own name, and spread the news of the fall of Bennett city by the way, which will affect the morale of the Dela people.

Presumably how angry King Haymis would be after learning the news of the fall of the royal capital, it is this anger that will affect his judgment and eventually lead to a change in the battle situation.
