Rise of the Empire Total War

Located in the center of Mengba City, the City Lord's Mansion is the best building in the city, and also the building with the largest area. It has a three-to-four-meter-high wall around it, and various facilities inside are complete, just like an inner city.

In fact, it was true. During the Earl's reign, the City Lord's Mansion was equipped with a team of about two hundred guards. Their duty was to guard the wall and protect the Earl's safety. However, after Mengba was ruled by Richard, the guards were no longer set up, and there were only a dozen armed guards guarding the City Lord's Mansion.

The situation has changed now. After the knights settled in, Knechteng's servants not only took care of the knight's logistics and trained martial arts, but also increased the task of patrolling the city lord's mansion. The huge city lord's mansion suddenly gained a bit of popularity.

After moving in, Commander-in-Chief Amata summoned his subordinates based on the information provided by Pastor Craig, and prepared to arrange for the next patrol on the streets.

At the meeting, Amata Dutong was the first to speak and said, Brothers, according to the information provided by Pastor Cragg, the situation of the Christian people in this city is really not optimistic. Just two days ago, one of our Christian brothers I have been brutally treated by heretics, and I have not yet woken up. In order to avoid similar atrocities and defend our brothers of the same clan, it is necessary for us to deploy patrols in the city.

I agree. Vice-President Gian Carioca echoed, Each patrol should be led by a knight and followed by at least three Knechteng troops. When encountering atrocities against Christians, according to The Code of the Order has the right to kill on the spot.

That's right. Metropolitan Amata nodded, and said, Remember, we represent the Teutonic Knights, and it is our duty to protect the brothers of the same clan and the glory of Christ. Therefore, anyone who dares to do anything that harms Christ Those who do things of glory are our enemies!

Obey!

...

As a member of Knechtten's troops, Henry. Thomas was lucky enough to be selected to be part of the first wave of patrols, led by Vice-Commander Gian Carioca, and the other two fellow Knechtien soldiers who were spearmen.

After leaving the city lord's mansion, the four of them patrolled along the street. Because of Ji'an's status as a knight, pedestrians on the road consciously avoided and stood on the side of the road looking at them in awe.

This actually caused Ji An some headaches. His original intention was to keep a low profile and avoid arousing the vigilance of pagans who might commit crimes. But from the current situation, his plan has failed.

It seems that today is destined to return empty-handed. Gian Carioca thought so, it is really not a good omen to get a bad start, but what can he do,

I had no choice but to accept it.

However, just like the saying: Since ancient times, spearmen are lucky A, if there are soldiers equipped with long spears (mao) in the team, the overall luck value will increase. After walking out of a section of the street, Ji'an, the deputy governor with sharp ears, heard a faint cry for help. He immediately looked around reflexively, and listened carefully for a while, finally confirming the faint call for help. From a nearby alley.

There is a situation! Gian Carioca regained his spirits, and led the Knechteng servants, who were still a little doubtful, towards the direction of the cry for help. As they moved forward, the faint The cries for help gradually became apparent.

Finally, after turning the corner of an alley, they saw a few poor people in shabby linen clothes beating a man who was curled up on the ground and screaming in pain.

Stop! What are you doing!

The sudden loud shout frightened the few poor people who beat others unscrupulously, and they froze in place. They turned their eyes slowly, and found that the ones who stopped them were actually fully armed knights and soldiers. They were scared out of their wits and turned around to run away. , but Henry and his comrades were significantly faster, rushing to the side of the poor in a few steps, knocking down the person who was trying to escape with a shield, and the people behind stopped quickly when they saw this, very skillful He squatted down, put his head in his hands, and shouted for surrender.

Seeing that someone rescued him, the man who was beaten to the ground struggled to get up, and looked at the rescuer at the same time, which almost didn't frighten him to lie back down again, but when he looked closely, the knights and soldiers were lying on the ground. The black burqa with a cross made him feel at ease.

He then tried to get up and said, Thank God, you finally came. I thought I was going to be killed by these savage heretics today.

Hearing this, Ji An's eyes lit up and asked, Are you a Christian?

Yes, swear to God, I'm a devout Christian, the man said, crossing his stained chest.

What happened? Jian asked again.

I don't know either. I was walking alone in this alley, and these people suddenly appeared and surrounded me. They just wanted to rob me at first, but after they learned that I was a Christian, they beat and kicked me. .Thank God you are here, otherwise I might not see the sun tomorrow.

Listening to the man's words, Ji An frowned slightly, and he asked again: Have you seen this group of people before?

No, it's the first time I've seen them today. The man said with a bitter face, but he looked very embarrassed considering the stains on his face, I'm a grain merchant from Lu Wenling. It’s only been a few days since I’ve been here, how could I have seen them?”

Okay, then go back to your residence quickly and don't continue to wander outside, otherwise you will not be so lucky if you encounter danger again. Ji'an reminded. Hearing what he said, the man quickly nodded in agreement, and without caring about cleaning up the stains on his body, he picked up the package and left the scene in a hurry.

After the man left, Ji An looked back and looked at the few poor people who were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands and the few people who tried to escape but were knocked over by a shield. While watching, he asked, Where do you guys come from?

I, we came from the slums. One of them said tremblingly, they did not show the performance of scolding heretics as Ji'an expected, which disappointed the deputy capital who led the team.

But it's no wonder that these people are not religious fanatics. Facing the shining swords and ferocious soldiers, they still chose Congxin wisely.

Why are you beating that businessman. Ji An asked again.

This time, another person replied: Because he has money on his body and refuses to give us, and he also cursed us who believe in the magic deer god as heretics, and should be thrown into the boiling oil pan in hell to suffer...
