rise of empire total war

Chapter 117

"To the respected Cuban, the lord of the two cities of Luwen, and the most legitimate heir to the throne of the Winster Kingdom His Royal Highness Richard Stuart:

This is the most stupid war, it makes the people of our two countries involved in the quagmire of war, from last summer to early spring of this year, too many lives died on the battlefield, including my father, the former king His Majesty Oweko.

In my capacity as the new king of Ramirez, I offer you the most humble request for peace talks. The war should end immediately, and the people imprisoned by the war should be released, so that they can return to their hometown and live a peaceful life again.

The initiator of this war was my father, King Oweko, but he died on the battlefield of the Luwen River Plain, and returned to heaven with his sinful soul.In compensation to your country, we are willing to return Mumba and Sauron to your country, cede Abadran to your country, and hand over 4000 Morse coins as war reparations. If you are willing to represent The Kingdom of Ravana agrees to the peace talks, and your two countries will begin a ten-year truce.

Ramirez King Croft. "

……

Throwing the envelope of peace talks sent from Yaquique on the table, Richard looked indifferent. He looked at the lieutenant general Condela across the table and said, "It seems that the Ramirez people can't hold on anymore, so they can't hold on." He will take the initiative to propose peace talks to us, but I don’t want to agree to his conditions.”

"In the final analysis, these conditions only require them to pay [-] Morse coins as war indemnity. Mengba, Sauron and Abadran are already under our control. Even if he doesn't want to give up, he can't take it back. , there is obviously no sincerity for peace talks.”

"Yes, so the war must continue. This war will not end until we capture the city of Yajik." Richard said with a strong attitude, picking up the envelope, and continued: "It's up to you to prepare your words Let the usurper in the city who is still fantasizing about retaining his throne recognize the situation he is in."

"Understood, Your Majesty Caesar." Condela replied with a sneer, then turned back and drafted a reply letter addressed to Croft.

"To Croft, Usurper of the Kingdom of Ramirez, and Illegal Occupier of Aquique:
You shamefully usurped the throne that should have belonged to your elder brother, Prince Gaia, and illegally occupied the capital of the sacred kingdom by using the rebellious army, and imposed your brutal rule on the people inside. This is any civilized person with a conscience Will not sit idly by.

The war will not end. The Kingdom of Ramirez not only shamefully tore up the sacred armistice agreement signed five years ago, but also attempted to regain the territory that already belonged to the Kingdom of Ravana, killed the people of Ravana, and robbed the property of the Ravana people , This is a blasphemy and an insult to the Kingdom of Ravana.The war will never end until the city of Aquique is captured.

In addition, your elder brother, Prince Gaia, the most legitimate heir of the Kingdom of Ramirez, has interpreted the dream with the Kingdom of Ravana to jointly oppose your illegal kingdom in Yaquik, if you are really for the people of the two countries For the sake of it, please stop resisting, surrender Kaesong, and return the throne to Prince Gaia.

If you voluntarily surrender, we will not pursue your crimes and forgive you generously and mercifully, but you continue to resist and wait for the day when the city is broken, and the city of Ajik will receive the cruelest revenge.

Richard Stuart, lord of Kuban and the second city of Luwen, commander of the Ravana army. "

This reply was quickly sent to the city of Aquique. Richard the reaction of the usurper Croft after reading the contents of the envelope is unknown, but the only thing that is certain is that the defenders of Yaquique did not open the city. Surrendered, but chose to continue to fight stubbornly. They gathered heavy troops at the south gate where Richard was, and seemed to decide to fight Richard and the Ravana people to death.

But Richard will not take the initiative to attack foolishly. He has the initiative of the war and chooses to besiege the city for a long time until the defenders are exhausted.

At the same time, Gaia's army, which was increasingly opposed by the army, finally could not continue. With the acquiescence of Prince Gaia, the nobles returned to their fiefs with their conscripts to carry out the most important spring plowing of the year. , when most of the soldiers left, there were only a few poor people left in his army. These hundreds of people guarded in the empty barracks, giving people a miserable feeling.

Standing on the wall of the barracks, looking at the city wall covered with traces of war, Prince Gaia could only sigh helplessly. Since he joined the battlefield of the siege, except for the first few times when he took the initiative to attack the city, he only had a long time. The boring siege, even so, the casualties in the army are still huge, and it has been able to support it until now without collapsing. It can only be said that it is all due to the prestige of Gaia and the nobles.

But now, most of the soldiers have left, and there are only a few hundred soldiers left. He suddenly became the weakest of the three forces. His so-called ally Richard is not a kind person who is willing to help others. At the beginning of the alliance, they took a fancy to the army he brought, but now that the army has dispersed, it is unknown whether Richard will abide by the original agreement.

"I have given up hope for the throne, I can only pray to the gods, the Ravana people will not destroy the Kingdom of Ramirez..."

……

Perhaps it was Gaia's prayer that alarmed the gods. Two months later, when the supplies of Aquique City were about to run out, a message spread from the Kingdom of Ravana to the front line of the war——Earl Bandac and his faction sent a message to King Lawrence Declare war!
This is a long-planned rebellion. After surviving the snowstorm, Bandak and his allies once again assembled the conscripts who had finished spring plowing to launch the "War of Succession to the King of Ravana" against King Lawrence. Bandak Declaring that he is the most orthodox heir to the Kingdom of Ravana, he immediately led a huge coalition army from Cork to the Mafugat Territory. MacPherson, the Earl of Mafugat, repeated his old tricks and hid in a safe and strong The city of Martidot, who was in the capital, watched helplessly as the rebel army continued to march westward, heading straight for the capital Ravana.

After receiving the news of Bundak's rebellion, King Lawrence's hands and feet were cold, and his whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cave. His most reliable field earl Richard was still fighting in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Ramirez, and his trusted military chief Adlai De also died in the snowstorm during last year's snowstorm. His heir Sophie (the husband of Princess Sophia) took office as the new earl in Berengar, the capital of Mabuku, and was invited to the royal capital Become the new Marshal.

The new military chief could not bring new hope to the precarious royal family. He could only send out orders to the nobles everywhere, and at the same time sent fast horses to bypass Bandak's soldiers and send them to the hinterland of Ramirez Kingdom. Richard asked for help.

Fortunately, Richard's disbanded and returned soldiers could once again regroup in response to the royal family's call, otherwise King Lawrence could only rely on his poor strength to defend against the rebels.
