rise of empire total war

Chapter 453
The tragedy in this village was finally discovered a few days after Winster's army left the village of Sparkeron. Earl Cambina personally brought people to check the situation. When he saw the dug out large pit full of corpses, He was so angry that he almost fell off his horse, and he hurriedly reported the situation here to the king, hoping that the king could make some compensation for his loss.

However, the king did not give him the compensation he wanted. Instead, he sent someone to comfort him, saying that he would protest to the Kingdom of Winster—the most useless thing in this world is to protest, no matter how strongly they protest , none of the Winsters would respond.And the King of Vasconia was also afraid of angering the Winster Kingdom, which was as invincible as Long Aotian, and after several protests, he fell silent.

But at this time, Butters and his second brigade had already left Vasconia Kingdom and entered the hostile Lumi Kingdom. Fortunately, the Vasconia Kingdom sent someone to inform them in advance, and the Lumi people made preparations, and finally Wasn't caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Winster's army, but what good was that?In the face of absolute strength, no matter how well prepared the Lumi people were, they were torn to pieces by the enemy's superior firepower.

The Lumi people have never seen such a terrible weapon. They were directly defeated by Butters' second brigade. They could only withdraw to the capital Iluberis in embarrassment. Not as "reliable" as the Principality of Page, after getting the news, King Philip Adam personally led the assembled army and hurried eastward.

But they didn't know that in the north, a large group of cavalry, mainly barbarian cavalry, after passing through the neutral kingdom of Lagoni Kingdom, relied on their strong mobility to travel day and night, and soon crossed the territory of Lagoni Kingdom and arrived at Lagoni Kingdom. The border between the Kingdom of Gurney and the Kingdom of Lumi was stationed at the border, and scouts were sent to detect the intelligence of Winster's army before making the next move.

It's a bold plan.The two commanders of the coalition cavalry commented that in order to better control the unruly barbarian cavalry, the coalition made Kurban, the barbarian leader who participated in the attack on the Kingdom of Swachichi, one of the two commanders of this operation. One, the other is held by a noble from the Kingdom of Ballaria - of course, it is impossible for a stupid and arrogant noble like the one in the novel to be sent to the battlefield, and the King of Ballaria is not a fool either. Letting an idiot become the commander at this critical moment will only make the already precarious battle situation even more unfavorable.

……

On June 1125, 6 in the continental calendar, the Second Brigade of the First Army led by Butters surrounded Iluberis, the capital of the Lumi Kingdom. Just like in previous battles, the forty long-barreled artillery of the Second Brigade faced The walls of Iluberis were bombarded indiscriminately, trying to make a breach in a short period of time, and then take the city in one day - the feat of conquering the kingdom of Lushino made Butters Stotch proud and complacent, treating These backward nations are full of contempt, and he can't wait to conquer the kingdom of Lumi and its western ally Karta for His Majesty, so as to obtain the king's bestowal.

Yes, after conquering the Kingdom of Lucino, Richard personally wrote a letter to praise the commander who was born in the aristocratic Nord City, saying that as long as the war is over, he will give Butters the title of King of the Kingdom in recognition of his achievements. The fourth duke (the first three were Toolagris, Duke of Delgis, Frederick, Duke of Cuban and heir to the throne, and Charles, Duke of Sauron, known as the "Conqueror of Osa"), this reward is a bit too generous, For the eldest son of an ordinary nobleman, it is obviously outrageous to become a duke.

Looking at the painfully trembling city wall amidst the roar of artillery, Butters was eager to try. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the former adjutant Karl standing in the queue not far away, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was not afraid of Karl's promise As long as he can conquer the country he is in, the duke's reward is a certainty. Even if the small report is known by Richard, he will not be reprimanded.

Thinking of those slaughtered villagers, he felt annoyed for a while. Originally, he wanted to be courteous before fighting, so that the villagers would cooperate obediently, but he didn't expect to reject the proposal of the future Duke without hesitation. How could he not annoy Butters.It was because he felt that he had lost face in front of his subordinates that he drew out his gun and shot him down.

Just as he was immersed in his memories, a cavalryman rode his horse and ran to him panting, got off his horse, half-kneeled on the ground, and reported: "Sir, our cavalry found an enemy army of about [-] in size. Coming here, judging from the flags they held high, it is likely to be the Karta Kingdom in the west."

"Reinforcements from the Kingdom of Karta?" Butters, who woke up from his memories, was a little unresponsive. He had more than 8000 officers and soldiers, but the Kingdom of Karta only had more than 3000 people. How could he have the courage to come forward and beat them?

"Yes, sir, according to their advancing speed, they are expected to enter the battlefield in two hours." The cavalry replied calmly.

Hearing this, Butters couldn't help laughing, and he said contemptuously: "I didn't expect that our enemies are also full of courage, daring to take the initiative to meet the enemies several times their number with inferior forces."

"Sir, let's take the initiative." The commander of the second regiment who heard the whole process suggested, he was gearing up and eager to try, "The enemies in the city of Iluberis only dare to hide behind the city wall and tremble, they don't have the guts to take the initiative If we go out of the city to meet them, we can allocate part of our troops to attack the invading Kartas."

"Are you sure that the Kaltars will be defeated in one fell swoop?" Butters did not answer directly, but looked at his subordinates with squinting eyes. The latter felt that there was something to be done and quickly replied: "Of course you are sure, the second group will not I disappoint you, sir."

"Okay, then go ahead and remember, don't rush ahead because of greed for credit." He warned.

"Obey." The commander of the second regiment took the order, then left the station with his subordinates, and marched westward under the leadership of the scout cavalry.

After the second regiment left, looking at the half-empty camp, Butters suddenly felt a trace of indescribable uneasiness, feeling that something terrible would happen next, he shook his head, It's outrageous to want to get this idea out of his mind. He is clearly winning now, unless a meteorite rain falls on his head, what terrible things will happen?
"Continue to bombard, I will have dinner in the Lumi people's palace before sunset today!"

He ordered to his subordinates.
