Chapter 83 Four Years Later
boom--

Under Richard's amazed eyes, the tower that hung the flag of the Stuart family's oriole tail collapsed, making a deafening noise, and the smoke and dust almost enveloped the nearby ground, even from the perspective of a bystander. Richard who watched was shocked.

After the tower was destroyed, bursts of cheers pierced through the smoke and resounded through the entire palace. Immediately afterwards, countless soldiers holding up their weapons flocked to the central palace hall like a red torrent, and lined up for defense on their only way. The weak line of defense of the Royal Palace Guards was unable to block the enemy's attack, and was washed away and submerged by the red flood after only resisting for a while.

All this is so familiar, it is a scene that Richard will never forget. Although he, a soul from the earth in the 21st century, has not experienced it personally, the memory left by this body will still remind him of the terrible past from time to time.

"Kill! Go in! Whoever kills King Alfonso, I will make him a new nobleman of the kingdom!"

In the red torrent, a middle-aged man with a beard and a handsome face shouted loudly, the sharp long sword in his hand pointed directly at the court, and the self-confidence and complacency on his face did not hide—he is the rebel The initiator, Jutian, the most trusted general of King Alfonso.

Richard didn't have much information about this despicable rebel. Before the rebellion, the young Richard even had a good impression of him, because every once in a while, the handsome middle-aged man would appear. The general would send his son to the palace to deliver some small toys to Richard.Because of this, Jutian was also awarded the title of "Friend of the Royal Family" by King Alfonso, which also gave him a lot of prestige.

Richard didn't know why he dreamed of this scene again, he just watched the disgusting red torrent pouring into the palace quietly, his slightly childish face was expressionless.

"Are you urging me not to forget to avenge my father and mother?" Richard murmured in a low voice, but this sentence was said to the little consciousness that might still be left in this body. He was possessed by his soul here. From the beginning, the body knew that the consciousness of the original owner had not dissipated, but was hidden in his heart. It might only dissipate on its own after he completed the great mission of restoring the country.

This is an obsession, a young exiled prince's obsession with restoration and revenge.

As if in response to Richard's words, there were some fluctuations in the air, and the fluctuations looked like a teenager nodding.

"Don't worry, I will never forget." Richard continued, "From the time I took over you, we have become one, your goal is my goal, and your enemy is my enemy .”

Speaking of this, he paused, turned his eyes to Zhu Tian in the crowd, and said, "As for that rebel, one day I will definitely make him pay the price."

The second after Richard finished speaking, his gaze fell rapidly, and soon fell into a dark abyss. Then, everything in the dream shattered like a mirror, sparkling, and his consciousness also Then back to reality.

"call!"

When he opened his eyes, he saw the marble ceiling. Richard sat up suddenly from the bed, looked around panting heavily, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Every time he dreamed of that miserable place, he will be seriously exhausted physically and mentally.

Looking at the sky outside the window, it was still gray, Richard sighed, and lay down slowly again, closing his eyes and trying to let himself fall asleep again.With his current strength, he still can't compete with the usurper Zhu Tian. Although the remaining consciousness of this body is very anxious for revenge, he still has no choice, and everything can only be considered in the long run.

……

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and in a blink of an eye, four years of time have passed like a river, gone forever, and Richard has grown from a 15-year-old boy to a 19-year-old mature youth.

Under his four-year management, the population of Kuban Island has exceeded the 13502 mark. Nuremberg, which has been upgraded to a large city, has a permanent population of [-], and the five villages scattered on the island-no, it should be called Called towns, these towns composed of original refugees housed a total of [-] residents (in addition to the original refugees, they also absorbed more or less refugees from outside the island within four years).In addition, the port of Kuban Island also spontaneously formed a port town due to the bustling trade exchanges, which was something Richard had not expected.

Although other cities and towns except Nuremberg are not counted as system cities, the economic income they generate is also very considerable, and Richard has therefore become a nobleman with strong economic strength in the Kingdom of Ravana.

With strong economic support, Richard built a system-recognized fortress on the mountainside of King's Mountain (named by Richard himself) in the center of Kuban Island, named it Brandenburg, and officially moved his residence here. , like a new capital.Of course, this "new capital" is just a concept in the game. Here, the capital is still Nuremberg, and this will never change.

In addition to building castles, Richard also has a strong army, including a total of 450 foot feudal knights (5 teams), 360 feudal knights (4 teams) and 1120 people (10 teams) In addition, Richard also has a group of militia troops that can be pulled up at any time.

This is to introduce a policy that Richard implemented in four years. He first used the system to recruit a large number of militias, and then ordered these militias to engage in farming warfare. Richard's recruitment to participate in the war - although this is the most common method of conscription in the Middle Ages, the rigid system will only follow the cheating method in the game, so Richard can only issue another policy by himself.

In addition to a powerful army, Richard's navy is also a force that cannot be ignored. In four years of construction, he also has an "Invincible Fleet" with more than [-] warships. The fleet includes fourteen Kirk warships and ten Hawke warships (recruited after the construction of the dock), as well as those Kuban warships transformed from pirate ships.

It is such a fleet that can almost sweep across the entire Sea of ​​Glittering.

On the other side, the city of Louvern under the jurisdiction of Governor Maximilian also developed very well. Through the unremitting efforts of the priests, most of the residents in the city converted to Christianity and became loyal subjects of Richard and God.The city's population has also grown from more than 3000 to more than 1. Thanks to Governor Maximilian's sanitation work, large-scale diseases rarely occur, so that the growth of the city's population will not be affected. Blow and hinder.

The increase in population also means an increase in soldiers. In addition to the walking feudal knights and chain armor knights left behind by Richard, Maximilian also recruited some spear militiamen. These spear militiamen not only protected the city, He also participated in the suppression of thieves and accumulated a lot of combat experience.
