Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 461: Night of death

"Perhaps participating in this war is itself a mistake for us."

Looking at the army that stretched for several miles outside the city, King Aldridge of the Petlock Kingdom said bitterly. Following his words, the court officials and nobles behind him also sighed deeply.

"Can we still surrender?" He continued. No one answered. Everyone bowed their heads. They naturally knew the answer, but they didn't have the courage to say the answer. In fact, if the enemy commander outside the city is It is possible for others to surrender, but the leader is the prestigious "butcher" Trond Olsen. As long as he falls into his hands, anyone except king-level people is likely to be shot directly. .

After a long silence, Aldridge also sighed deeply, retracted his gaze, and walked to the stairwell while saying: "Move up everyone who can be mobilized and let them go up the wall to defend."

"Yes, my king." The military commander touched his chest and promised. He looked at the departure of the king and a group of noble officials. He lacked confidence in whether he could hold the city wall. He had thought of surrendering directly to the city, but he was worried about the butcher. A fierce name, you can only choose to resist.

This is Ruslan Fort, the capital of the Petlock Kingdom. Since the fall of their neighbor and ally Trikasi Kingdom, the sharp front of the Third Brigade has pointed directly at the Petlock Kingdom, which is also in a state of defensive emptiness, facing such a terrible situation. The enemy, the towns and castles along the way were almost surrendered. Those consuls and nobles guessed that Trond’s butcher knife would not be swayed on the heads of these insignificant people, so they could surrender without hesitation.

Trond and his third brigade hit Ruslan Fort, located in the heart of the Petlock Kingdom, with little resistance, and then surrounded the city built on the banks of Lake Pello. Under the command of the commander, the soldiers set up cannons and began to bombard the city wall violently. The artillery fire of the Winsters once again roared, devastating and crumbling the seemingly fortified city wall, shocking the recruits who had just stepped onto the battlefield. The soldiers' souls are scattered, and the farts are rushing.

The ensuing battle was like the reappearance of the capture of the capital of the Kingdom of Trikasi in the past. The third brigade only took less than three days to invade Ruslan Fort and march forward along the chaotic streets. Infiltrated the palace and captured Aldridge and a group of royal family members and nobles. But to everyone's surprise, Tronde did not kill him this time, but demanded a heavy ransom from the captives. All members of the royal family will be escorted back to Nord City.

The third brigade won consecutive victories, conquered the four countries, and shook the entire Valdasia peninsula. Coupled with the fame of its commander, Tronde Olsen, the brigade was eventually called the "skeleton brigade" by various countries-a symbol of its conquest The countless dead creatures that acted as stepping stones on the road.

In order to commend Trond's achievements, Richard rewarded him with the territory of the Kingdom of Petlock, canonized him as the new Duke of Petlock, and the court was set up in Ruslinburg.

After the fall of the Petlock Kingdom, there were no more enemies in the eastern part of the Winster Kingdom. After leading his army back to Nord City to accept the canonization, Trond was able to temporarily step down and take his family to the fief. Although the war is still going on, the scale of victory is clearly biased towards the Kingdom of Winster, and Richard does not need to make contributions to the third brigade soldiers to return to the dangerous battlefield again.

...

On the other side, the headquarter of the First Brigade of the First Army also arrived in the Russino area, where the undercurrent was surging. Duckman Braun, who was personally appointed by Richard as the temporary commander of the First Army, had just moved into Russi. A manor outside Lusitas, the capital of the Nuo region, sent invitations to the famous nobles of all sizes in the area in a private name, preparing to set up a banquet in the palace of Lusitas to discuss the future of this area. Facing the invitation sent by Duckman, the nobles were full of suspicion. They were very strange to this unheard general Winster, and could not guess his intentions, but the nobles were full of confidence and believed Kerman will not violate the "Aristocratic Law" to slaughter nobles in a large public, so except for a few really timid people, he is willing to go to the appointment.

However, they quickly paid the price for their self-confidence. In order to completely quell the chaos in the Rusino area, Duckman decided to use the most radical method after research. He confuses everyone's eyes with a banquet and discussion, while ordering his soldiers to disperse, using the company as a barrier. Units stationed in various towns and castles, and at the same time left a letter to the commanders of each company, agreeing to wait until the night when the banquet began.

Soon, the banquet came as scheduled, and most of the nobles in the entire Luxino area were invited here, and the Luxitas Palace was almost full. No one noticed the heavily armed soldiers on the corridor that faintly surrounded the hall, and the nobles were intoxicated. The sound like the sound of nature when playing the beautiful musical instruments produced in Nord City, I also indulge in the plates of delicious food and sweet wine on the table.

Amidst the beautiful music, Duckman walked into the hall under the guards' entourage. He looked at the Luxino nobles with ugly faces underneath. The smile on his face flashed with disgust, but it was quickly covered up. When he came down, he raised his wine glass high and toasted to all the nobles. After the glass of wine, he suddenly threw the glass wine glass in his hand on the ground, and the crisp sound of the wine glass when it broke was like a promised signal side~www.mtlnovel .com~ Immediately afterwards, a large number of heavily armed soldiers opened the curtains around the hall and pointed their bayonet-inserted muskets at the nobles in the hall who had not yet reacted. Then, the muskets fired in unison, and a **** massacre began. .

And Duckman, who was smashing the cup, had already withdrawn along the road when he came. He left plainly, but left a brutal killing.

At the same time, in all parts of the Rusino area, the company commanders almost simultaneously opened the letter left by Dachman to them. The content of the letter was only a short sentence-annihilate all the chaotic parties.

Then, each company left the station and rushed to the homes of the local nobles who participated in the meeting. They either broke into the house directly, or blasted the door directly, and then filed in. The house was immediately plunged into chaos. Those who dared to stop them were shot and killed without hesitation. The families of those nobles were arrested, and all the private soldiers in captivity were shot, and the wealth of the family was also confiscated.

The civilians nearby didn't know what was going on. They listened to the gunshots from time to time, and they could only shiver in the cup, begging that they would not be affected.

Overnight, the nobles in the Rusino area were almost wiped out, and the death toll was not counted in detail. In future generations, this night will be called the "Night of Death".
