Rise of the Empire Total War

To be honest, when Richard reunited with Queen Mary who had been imprisoned for six years, he was a little uneasy, because he was not the real Richard, he was just a soul from the earth in the 21st century , and the real Richard's soul disappeared not long ago.

Richard, my son, is it really you? Compared to Richard's uneasiness, Queen Mary wept with joy. She stretched out a hand to caress Aiko's face, but she only stretched out halfway and then retracted immediately. She didn't want Richard to see the skin of her hands, which had become pale because of not seeing the sun for many years.

Richard saw her move in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness in his heart. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Queen Mary's hand that was about to retract. Feeling the cold skin, he finally said: It's me, Mother……

My Richard has grown up so much... Before finishing speaking, Queen Mary broke down in tears, making the faces of the surrounding soldiers who watched all this also show a sad look.

Seeing this crying mother, Richard also felt very uncomfortable. He gently embraced Queen Mary in his arms, patted her thin back, and tried to make his tone calm: Mother , I came back, I killed Jutian, I took back the kingdom that belonged to our family, I did it.

Is Jutian dead? Upon hearing that Jutian was killed, Queen Mary suddenly raised her head, looked at Richard with her red eyes, and asked, How did he die?

He refused to surrender on the battlefield and was shot by my order. Richard said that he did not tell Mary the news that Bundak was shot together, he was afraid that Mary would become more sad because of the news of his brother's death.

However, in the next second, Mary asked Bandak: What about Bandak? Didn't Jutian say that he would deal with you with Bandak?

Bundak... Richard hesitated, but chose to tell the truth, He fought with Jutian to the last moment...

Richard didn't say the whole thing, and in fact, Mary could also guess Bundak's final fate from this sentence.

The news of her brother's death dilutes the joy of being reunited with her son, and Mary becomes silent. Seeing her like this, Richard quickly changed the subject, and said, Mother, after stabilizing Nord City, we will I am going to issue a final statement to the lords of Ulif, Osrig and Primi, asking them to submit to me, and if they refuse to submit, I will send troops to forcibly take back their territories.

Count Frederick of Premi is partial to our family. When Jutian launched a rebellion, he also called on other nobles in the kingdom to serve as king, and personally led the army to the capital, but before he arrived, Zhu Tian has already won the victory, and has also won the support of other nobles, so Frederick can only submit to Jutian.

What about Count Ulif and Count Ossiig? Richard asked, while remembering the name Frederick in his mind.

Count Ulif Ensksa and Earl Osrig Harin Dabur are Jutian's allies, I don't think they will submit to you easily, not to mention, Ulif is close to the Republic of Cunya, um Skesa has the support of the Kunians, and it is even more impossible to submit to you.

Hearing Queen Mary's words, Richard sneered and said, Then we can only use war to solve the problem.

My child, perhaps six years ago I would not have liked your way of using war to solve problems, but after experiencing the Jutian rebellion, I will no longer object. Mary said, with hatred in her eyes meaning.

I will make anyone who betrayed our family regret it. Richard reassured, and then he remembered something again, saying: Mother, the trial of Ju Tian's remnants will be held in two days. Before that, I want you to identify the nobles in the city who participated in or supported the rebellion, and let the divine judgment fall on them.

It's no problem, I'll identify it. Mary nodded and agreed, and then she asked, What do you want to do with Jutian's widow, Audrey and Simon?

I promised them that I won't kill them, but that doesn't mean I won't deal with them. Richard said coldly: The crimes committed by Zhutian need to be shared by them. They are locked in Gabriel Tower, let them rot inside for the rest of their lives!

...

In the next few days, Richard’s focus was on stabilizing the city’s order and restoring his rule. At the same time, he wrote to Count Uliv and Count Osrita (he already knew the news of Count Osrita’s death in battle, so The envelope was written to the heirs of Harling Dabur) and Earl Premi, asking the three lords to submit to the new regime. In the letter, Richard swore on his family honor to ignore their previous actions. The content of the letter is as follows, But don't know if it works.

Two days later, a large-scale trial was held in Balgri Square. Nearly a hundred nobles and businessmen, including the former foreign minister Milder, were arrested and walked up one by one under the guard of heavily armed sergeants. On the temporary high platform, Lieutenant General Kondra personally read out the charges.

Under Condela's reading, twenty-nine people, including Mild, were hanged, sixty-eight were executed (beheaded), and thirty-three were exiled. All their property was confiscated, and their family members were kicked out of the house, so they could only live on the streets in this cold winter, and their frozen corpses might be seen on the street one day.

As Jutian's widow, Queen Audrey and Prince Simon were not imprisoned in Gabriel Tower to rot in the end. On a dark and windy night, Queen Audrey, who was wrapped in a black robe, sneaked away. He entered Richard's room and spent the night in it. On the second day, Richard suddenly and temporarily changed his treatment of the two and deported them from the country.

However, Richard is also very aware of the truth that all Chinese people know about cutting weeds and roots. Shortly after the carriage carrying Queen Audrey and Prince Simon drove out of the Kingdom of Winster and entered the territory of the Principality of Lasik, the carriage was robbed The attack by the bandits killed three people including the coachman, and the traces of the scene were cleaned up. No one knew about it.

Of course, this is for another day.

Now Richard not only has a headache about how to govern the new kingdom, but also is busy preparing for the coronation ceremony. Although he is not in a hurry to be crowned, but due to Mary's urging, he can only put this matter on the table in advance... …
