Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 368: Good news

"In the name of the Supreme Council of the General City State, we declare to surrender to you..."

After the assassination of President Edel Valencia, the general city-state assembly finally had no obstacles. They saw the form clearly and knew that it was impossible to maintain independence, so they finally made up their minds and made an expedition to Winster outside the city. The army surrendered. In addition to their surrender, they not only presented a cup of soil and a bowl of water as a tribute to surrender, but also brought the corpse of the dead old King Cyper and the corpse of Edel Valencia with them, and gave them to Wen People.

Then, the vanguard of the Winster Expeditionary Army marched into the city of Pross, took over the defense of the city, and collected the weapons and equipment of the defenders. After they entered the city, the big crater created by the previous big explosion was watched by everyone. The soldiers pointed at the devastated ruins, feeling the misery of their comrades who died in the tunnel.

After entering the city, the post-war repair work of the city was also carried out under Charles's auspices. He first ordered the army to demolish the walls and siege camps outside the city, and at the same time repair the collapsed city walls, although there are no enemies now. But the intact wall can calm the mood of the civilians.

Oh, forgot to say, because the general city-states took the initiative to surrender, there is no reason for Winster's army to rob civilians after entering the city, so they can only hold back their eager minds and give up on those wealthy citizens. Looting.

On the other side, although Prince Phillis, who received his father’s body, was extremely sad, he still followed Charles’s advice and took the Catonita auxiliary army under his command to take over the city of Cypress. This city has been active since After the man surrendered to the Winster Expeditionary Force, he has been barely stable under the jurisdiction of Parliament. After Prince Phyllis arrived in this city, he was warmly welcomed by the residents of the city. Although these residents who missed King Sipur could not wait for the return of the old king, they ushered in his heir and the old king. The bad news of passing away.

As a result, the citizens of Cyps city wept bitterly. They were immersed in the grief of losing the king, and at the same time they pushed Prince Phyllis to the position of king. Amid the cries of the Cyps, Philip Prince Si succeeded to the throne and restored the monarchy of this country. After he became king, he did not immediately dissolve the illegal parliament in people’s eyes. Instead, he imitated the countries of the Valdasia Peninsula and reformed the parliament into a cabinet to assist him in managing the country. .

On the third day of Felice’s succession to the throne, the order from General City was sent to Cyps City. After Charles and others considered, the Catonita auxiliary army no longer needed to exist, so each of them was getting After a small amount of severance pay, he was able to return home on his own. Taking into account the unevenness along the road, the soldiers were mostly in groups, and in the eyes of some businessmen, they were even more dangerous than the band of thieves blocking the road.

The only way for these Catonita soldiers to return to their hometown is within the collapsed city-state of Tarosos. They have all participated in the massacre. They are full of guilt for their former allies who died. Therefore, in this context, many cards Tonyta soldiers walked to the ruins of Tarosos City and settled down. They prepared to clean up the ruins here with their own hands and rebuild Tarosos City as an atonement.

However, no matter how many people stayed and settled, the new city of Tarosos could not be restored to its former prosperity.

...

Half a month later, the victory report of the victory in the military operations on the Osa Peninsula returned to the capital of the Kingdom of Winster, Nord City, and the residents of the city celebrated it. But they are all at war with the countries on the Valdasia Peninsula, and the target of this victory is the Osa Peninsula countries across the sea, which has a very different meaning.

On the night when the good news came back, the streets and alleys of Noord City held celebration banquets of various scales. The royal family personally purchased a large amount of food and wine to distribute to the citizens of Noord. This is a fun with the people. In the Palace of Ippolito, a grand banquet was also held. A large number of nobles were invited to participate in the invitation, regardless of their rank, whether they were Germanic or Winster nobles, all gathered at the banquet, in food, wine and Under the stimulation of the beauty, every guest was immersed in it.

The large-scale celebrations in Nord City also attracted foreign students in Nord College. They listened to the various news circulating in the college, and they were pulled out of the college gate by local students and merged into the crowd. At this moment, they were not only shocked Because of the powerful force of the Kingdom of Winster, but also surprised by the cohesion of the Nords-you know ~lightnovelpub.net~ In their home country, even if it is a victory, unless it is related to the interests of the people. None of them will show much joy.

Although this reason sounds rascal and has a taste of persecution paranoia, it has a broad market. Many kings and lords believe in this and are always ready to go to war. However, most of them are They are still maintaining trade with the Winsters. In other words, they are happily collecting the wealth from the Winster Kingdom while maintaining a vigilant and hostile attitude towards the Winster Kingdom. This is really contradictory.

Not to mention the attitudes of other countries towards the Kingdom of Winster, they turned their eyes back to the Palace of Ippolito. While receiving the good news from the Osa Peninsula, Richard also received a letter from Charles. In the letter, this A loyal expeditionary commander truthfully reported the performance of the firearms battalion in this war.

In his letter, Charles praised the 18 artillery attached to the army. In his opinion, artillery can not only destroy the city wall, destroy the enemy’s fortifications, and kill the enemy (of course, this is not in the range of early artillery. Inside), it can also hit the morale of the enemy and win the war at the least cost. However, he also pointed out the shortcomings of the artillery. The artillery itself is heavy and awkward, and its shooting accuracy is also very low. Usually only two or three shells of the ten artillery salvos can hit the target, and the rest of the shells are directly missing. , Or shot to other places.

In addition to artillery, gunpowder arrows and earthen grenade have also received considerable praise. Charles bluntly said that if the use of these two gunpowder weapons can continue to be promoted in the army, the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly improved. And if the musket can be further improved to increase its range and accuracy, it can also become a good auxiliary weapon.
