Rise of the Empire Total War

This is an atrocity that cannot be tolerated by anyone in any civilized country!

They brutally massacred unarmed prisoners in front of us, and even hung their heads high, humiliating our dignity!

On the city wall, the rebel soldiers were boiling. Although most of them were farmers and urban middle-class civilians who had just taken up arms, they were still excited by the atrocities of the soldiers of the Royal Army outside the city.

Master Gehrman, lead us out to fight! We must wash away this shame!

Among the crowd, an officer shouted loudly to the silent military chief Gehrman. Following his words, everyone looked at Gehrman, the highest-ranking nobleman in the temporary fortress.

Looking at the excited crowd, Anil, the Baron of Miso, persuaded, Yes, Lord Gehrman, the soldiers are eager to fight, we can't just watch Sebastian and the others die tragically.

No, if we leave the fort, we will fall into Richard's conspiracy. He just wants to use this to lure us out of the safe fort, and then defeat us in the field. (Richard: I really didn't think so)

Then we hide in a safe shell like a tortoise, allowing the enemy to insult us wantonly? Baron Kimista Baron Wallison questioned.

In the face of other people's doubts, Gehrman just nodded calmly, and said: That's right, for the sake of the overall situation, everyone must stay in the fortress and not attack without authorization.

While arguing on the city wall, Richard had six human heads stuck at the entrance and exit of the camp, and ignored it. He turned his eyes back from the execution scene, looked at Condela and the others, and said with a smile: This is a parting gift for the Gehrman rebels, I hope they will like it.

They'll love it, Toolagris agreed.

...

The next night, the evacuation operation began.

Perhaps it is the help of the gods, the clouds are dense tonight, the hazy moon is covered by layers of dark clouds, and no ray of light can penetrate the clouds to illuminate the ground. Outside the range affected by the fire, it was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.

Taking advantage of the darkness, in the Kingdom Army camp outside the temporary fortress, soldiers under the command of the officers brought their own equipment and luggage and marched westward in the dark.

In order to avoid unnecessary noise, they wrapped the hooves of the horses with thick cloth,

At the same time, cover the horse's mouth to cover up the possible neighing of the horse.

Before leaving, Richard looked at Tooragris standing by the fire, and said: Tooragris, after we leave, you will be in charge of this place. If you have any questions, you can contact Maxi in Luwen City. Governor Millian proposed.

Hearing this, Toolagris patted his chest and agreed: Understood, Your Majesty, please rest assured that the only way for the rebels to leave the fortress is to step on our corpses!

Don't mess around with corpses or anything. Richard smiled and patted the loyal Danish officer, When the war is over, I will personally reward you for your contribution in the war.

Understood, Your Majesty. He said, I will live to that day.

...

On June 6, 1110 in the continental calendar, Cork Territory, Omar Outpost.

It has been nearly two months since the Earl of Bundak launched the civil war. During these two months, the Omar outpost located in the eastern part of the Cork Territory, apart from watching the military chief Gehrman lead the army eastward, did not stop. There was no sign of any troops either.

It's another peaceful day, old Hart.

On the tower of the outpost, a young soldier held a spear in his arms, leaned against the cold wooden wall, and said to the veteran sitting on the ground beside him.

Indeed. The veteran named Hart nodded, took a sip of the wine in the jug comfortably, and said, In a few months, I will be able to leave this outpost and return to Robe Town.

Although the army does not allow drinking, he can make an exception without any scruples in this small broken outpost that has no one under its jurisdiction.

As soon as Rob Town was mentioned, the young soldier had a longing look on his face: I also want to go back, but the treatment of three Morse coins a month prevents me from leaving here.

Haha, my little Xi Rui, when you return to Rob Town, you will find how boring life in the outpost is...

What he said next was just nonsense nonsense. After listening to it for a while, the young soldier found an excuse to slip out of the tower. He looked at the old churros soldiers under the tower and wondered if he came here. a correct decision.

Before he was enlisted in the army, he was just a small handicraft apprentice in Robe Town, and his monthly salary was not even enough for his food expenses. If his uncle hadn’t found a relationship to let him join the army, he might still be in the dirty environment of Robe Town. In a messy little workshop.

When he received the notice of enlistment, he was still fantasizing about following the earl's army to go west to the royal family. At a young age, he didn't understand the affairs between the royal family and the nobles. A young apprentice can't earn a salary in his entire life.

In addition, the rumors about meritorious knights he heard since childhood also made him full of hope. He only hoped that he could get the help of the gods on the battlefield like the male protagonist in the bard population, make great achievements in battle, and finally be accepted by the nobles. Favored, made a knight of the fief, married the princess, and reached the pinnacle of life.

However, after coming to such a small broken outpost, all his illusions were shattered.

Here, it is poor and remote, and it takes a day's journey to the nearest village. If you want to get daily necessities, you can only wait for the transport team that comes once a month or random pedestrian merchants to buy from the latter with Morse coins. Some gadgets that the transport team doesn't have.

Not only that, the soldiers here have all experienced the devastation of the years, from being as cute as Xi Rui to being old fritters with no military discipline. Anyway, their officers are often away, and no one cares about what they do.

Speaking of the immediate superior who hadn't met several times, Xi Rui felt envious in his heart. The officer who appeared in the outpost a month and can count on one hand would basically stay in Robe Town. As a last resort, he didn't even want to come, so he left the soldiers at the post to fend for themselves.

Fortunately, the officer would not deduct the soldiers' salaries, otherwise these soldiers would have sneaked away long ago and become bandits wandering in the mountains, making a living by killing people and stealing goods - but in fact, these soldiers usually also engage in some side jobs to make money for their pockets. When they got a little bigger, they would ride the only old skinny horse in the outpost to the nearby villages to steal crops and livestock to bring back to improve food, or they would directly break into the house and rob them. Anyway, they couldn't find the villagers after they robbed them.

This is the status quo of Omar's post, and it is the status of most of the posts in this era.
