Rise of the Empire Total War

Richard, you have won. You have conquered my capital. The winner can put forward any conditions.

Hearing the voice of King Nicres II deliberately suppressing his anger, Richard didn't mind. He took a step forward and said, King Nicres, I have only one condition, and that is to bring the large silver coin located in Sukenya Territory. If you cede the mine to me, as long as you agree to this condition, I will not only return the occupied land, but also return the looted population to you.

Really? Nickress II said in a deep voice.

I swear on the honor of the Stuart family, Richard said. Okay. Now that Richard has sworn on his family honor, Nicres II believed him, he nodded, and said: I agree to cede the large silver mine in Sukenya to your country, but In addition to the return of the land and population you just proposed, I have one more condition.

Please tell me. Richard said with a slight frown.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Nicres II's aggressive behavior, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still did not refuse. After the silver mine is ceded to your country, I hope that your country can withdraw from the war and not intervene in the war between our country and the Lushino people.

Richard could clearly feel the unwillingness and resentment hidden in Nickress II's heart when he said this.

After thinking for a while, he still nodded and said, Yes, respected King Nicres, as you wish, I will not intervene in the war between the two countries.

...

At this time, Prince Dubois, the commander of the Lusino army far away in the Counties of Lavie, did not know that he had been sold by Richard. He was leading 2,900 soldiers under his command to besiege Lavie. Migsburg, the capital of the country, was repelled after repeated attacks. Prince Dubois was already anxious. Since he and his army entered the country after declaring war, they were stopped outside the city of Migsburg. Once he did so, the supply line was likely to be cut off, and his army might be surrounded by Pravia's army. Therefore, he would never dare to take such a risk.

Looking at the city that had been besieged for several days, Prince Du Bois sighed deeply. He knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more troops the Kingdom of Pravia would be able to mobilize. Even more unfavorable, the only thing to rely on is Winster's army who doesn't know how it is going.

Soon, however, he became aware of the progress of the Winsters.

A few days later, news of the peace talks between the Kingdom of Winster and the Kingdom of Pravia followed the footsteps of the envoys to the military camp of the Kingdom of Lucino outside Miggs Fort. Immediately afterwards, the entire military camp was engulfed in an uproar.

The Winsters betrayed us!

They swallowed the fruits of the battle, but let us face the enemy alone!

No! We should retreat, we can't beat Pravia Kingdom alone!

Questions, screams and cursing echoed in the barracks. Hearing the voices of the soldiers outside the camp, Du Bois’s face turned ugly. The nobles and officers standing in front of him were also silent, afraid to speak, for fear of arousing the attention of the kingdom. The wrath of the heir.

However, this silence was quickly interrupted. With the intrusion of a nobleman, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and then the faces of those nobles and officers showed a look of relief.

The person who came was the left-wing commander of this army, and he was also the only earl of the Kingdom of Lucino, Mam Nidro.

Seeing Mam coming, Du Bois's ugly face also slightly improved, and he immediately asked: Earl Mam, I think you have heard the news that the Winsters have withdrawn from the war, what do you think we should do next? how to respond?

We should withdraw, Your Royal Highness. Earl Mamm replied, seeing Du Bois's puzzled face, he explained: After the Winsters withdraw from the war, the Pravians will focus on In the war with us, if we are still in their territory, it is very likely that we will be surrounded by reinforcements from Pravia, and there will only be a dead end at that time.

After returning to the country, we should organize a defense line,

Resist the counterattack of the Pravians, as long as they don't get results, they will make peace with us.

But I'm really unwilling! Prince Du Bois said angrily. Richard's action really caught him off guard. Richard asked for a share, but the other party would only refuse outrageously.

No matter how unwilling he was, Du Bois still chose to follow Earl Mamm's advice and ordered the entire army to retreat. However, in order to vent their hatred, Lucino's army set fire to the town outside the city of Miggsburg before leaving, and will go all the way. All the captured civilians were taken back to the country.

As for the defenders of Fort Migs, because they were at a disadvantage in numbers, they could only stand on the city wall and watch the invaders come and leave openly.

...

While the Kingdom of Pravia and the Kingdom of Lucino continued the war, Richard asked Magnus to lead his army back to the Osrita Territory, and then he went to receive the large silver mine in Sukenya Territory. The silver mine is located at the bottom of a high mountain in the territory of Sukenya, and it is surrounded by dense forests, because of the medieval lord's ban (forests and wild animals are owned by the local lord, and no one can cut and hunt without the lord's permission), Few people dare to go deep into this dense forest. If it is not for an accidental discovery, the silver mine may continue to sleep.

When Richard arrived at the silver mine, it had been taken over by the soldiers of the First Legion (the army that had bypassed the city of Tus and marched southwest). The silver mine was surrounded by a wooden wall with sporadic There are wooden towers that are much higher than the wooden walls, and there are several soldiers standing on each tower to guard against the outside world.

The infrastructure of the silver mine was not perfect. Apart from the excavation and reinforcement of the mine, there was not even a place to live. Therefore, as soon as Richard arrived, he ordered the soldiers to cut down nearby trees to build barracks and other infrastructure.

What? Lord ban? what is this? You want to use the law of the Kingdom of Pravia to kill my Winster soldiers? After that, he left an understaffed brigade of heavily armored sergeants and a brigade of civilian archers to guard the silver mine, and then left here with other troops. With nearly a thousand more soldiers at once, the wooden wall surrounding the silver mine will naturally expand outwards, especially after the arrival of the miners, the available space inside the log wall will be greatly reduced, and expansion will become necessary .

However, this matter still has to be handled by the commander of the silver mine appointed by Richard. If he wants to own a mine, he will be wise to build the expanded wall into a stronger stone wall.
