Rise of the Empire Total War

To be honest, if Richard hadn't drawn the Kingdom of Denmark and obtained the Viking longship, Richard would have delayed the construction of roads and built ports in advance.

However, now that he has powerful Danish sailors, the scarcity of naval strength has been suppressed at once. The war against Bassa Island also successfully captured several pirate warships, which made Richard's pursuit of the navy Reduced a lot.

The four pirate warships captured by Sigurd belonged to the most common galley warships. This kind of warship basically relied on wind power to propel the ship to sail on the sea, and once there was no wind, the pirates on board could only let them Paddle together.

There are no weapons on board the ship. In the battle, the pirates first drive the warship to hit the enemy ship with the ram angle of the bow, and then put the wooden plank between the two ships, shouting and rushing to the deck of the enemy ship, using their own weapons to attack the enemy ship. Weapons fight.

Richard is going to use these four warships to let Volkoma recruit local sailors when he goes to Port Bell for trade, and let them inject a batch of fresh blood into the Imperial Navy to replace the Vikings who find another way out people.

...

Picol was born in an ordinary fisherman's family in Port Bell. His father was a sailor in the Navy of the Kingdom of Ravana, but he was wounded in a war and retired. He returned to his hometown and bought a fishing boat with his savings. From then on, he made a living by fishing.

Picol, who lived by the sea since he was a child, is also good at water. At the same time, under the influence of his father's military career story, he aspires to be a sailor of a warship that rides the wind and waves, but suffers from no chance, so he can only watch it when he goes to sea with his father. Looking at the kingdom warship, fantasizing that he is a member of it.

But today, Picol, who was preparing to go to sea with his father at home, was suddenly dragged by his Fa Xiaoqiang and ran to the port. When he was puzzled, Fa Xiao told him happily: The earl from Cuban Island defeated We have captured the Moore pirates, captured their warships, and now we are going to recruit sailors in Port Bell!

Picol had heard of the name of the Earl of Cuban Island a little. A month ago, the king’s capital Ravana reported that his grandson was named the Earl of Cuban Island by the king. After several days of discussion, everyone was guessing whether the new earl would die in the wild revenge of the Moore pirates.

However, what I didn't expect was that the young earl was able to defeat the Moore pirates in just one month and captured their warship? This is really eye-popping.

Arriving at the port where the Earl of Cuban Island recruited troops, the place was already full of people, and the three floors inside and outside the three floors could be said to be impenetrable. Seeing that, Picole and his followers couldn't help retreating.

Not only the people who came to sign up, but also Volkoma, who set up the conscription point, was taken aback by the enthusiasm of the local civilians. After some understanding, he understood why so many people were willing to join the army.

There is no other reason, nothing more than the worship of the navy and the temptation of money.

After the war with the Moorish pirates, the status of the navy in the coastal cities has been infinitely improved, and every young man has infinite admiration for the Kingdom Navy that defends their homeland. Attracting the children of these poor families.

Volkomar was a little funny. These people didn't understand the nature of the Cuban Island Navy and the Kingdom Navy at all. The former only obeyed the orders of Richard, the Earl of Cuban Island, or was ordered to join the Royal Navy's combat order during the war. The latter belongs directly to His Majesty the King. Although the number is small, they are the mainstay of the Royal Navy.

After figuring it out, in order to avoid the mutiny of the sailors due to the difference between imagination and reality in the future, Volkoma asked his subordinates to explain the difference between the two. Most of the people's enthusiasm was dispelled in an instant.

Not much nonsense, in the end, Walcomt still recruited more than 200 sailors, and the more than 200 sailors were selected from young people with good water skills from bottom-level families.

Some of them are even descendants of veterans. They will be sent to Kuban Island with the ship, where they will be assigned to four pirate ships in groups after initial military training.

On the other side, Richard on Cuban Island led his entourage to walk in the flat land, watching farmers and pirate slaves plant cabbage seeds.

That's right, cabbage seeds.

While looking at the grain business in Nuremberg, Richard suddenly discovered that this new system building actually sells seeds of various grains. Of course, it is limited to vegetables owned in the Middle Ages, such as spinach, radish, cabbage, etc., and among them Among them, radishes and cabbage are suitable for planting in winter.

So Richard traded 200 dinars for radish and cabbage seeds to fill all the flat land.

Before the construction of the mine is completed, the more than fifty pirate slaves will work hard here under the supervision of soldiers, but don't think about escaping, because the crossbow-bearing militiamen equipped with crossbow bolts are on guard in the distance. Always be ready to shoot.

Time passed slowly with the growth of radish and cabbage. In a blink of an eye, winter quietly left, and spring, when everything was revived, came while the farmers were waiting.

Along with spring came news of the Moorish pirates from the Shimmering Sea.

As they said in late autumn last year, most of the Moorish pirates responded to the assembly order and attacked Kuban Island. Their warships are mighty and boundless, just like locusts passing through every island The port was looted.

The mighty Moorish pirates almost made the entire Shining Sea tremble. Every force is speculating on how the targeted Ravana Kingdom will respond. They were no match for the Ravana army, but they were still able to corrupt the coastal areas of the Ravana kingdom.

Facing the invasion of Moorish pirates, Cuban Island, which is isolated overseas, bears the brunt. No one believes that the young earl who has just been entrusted can survive the pirate frenzy, even King Harlaus himself does not believe it.

Regardless of what the outside world thinks, as the protagonist, Richard is ready for the war. He has gathered all the troops under his command, whether it is the two hundred sailors from Port Bell who have just served, or the The Royal Guards of Winster who have followed until now, or the Holy Roman Empire army and the Danish Kingdom army given by the system.

When all the soldiers were assembled, Richard realized that he had already possessed a force not weaker than that of the Moore Pirates!
