Rise of the Empire Total War

The western part of the Kingdom of Delj, the Territory of Tiris.

In Tirisburg, the capital of Tiris, a meeting was being held on whether to surrender the Kingdom of Winster. To be alarmed, although it is the consensus of all the earls on the ground that the war with the Winsters will not go smoothly, they cannot imagine that this war is coming to an end after only more than a month - because the capital Dukang has been destroyed. The enemy is surrounded.

Not only that, judging from the letter of persuasion sent by the Winsters, their goal is not only to defeat the Kingdom of Delj, but also to annex the kingdom and completely bring it into the scope of rule.

Count Narliyev frowned. He was sitting on the main seat. Underneath were his chief stewards and some of his courtiers. These people were arguing about whether to surrender.

The old earl didn't intend to speak out, because this scene had happened for decades, and it could be seen in almost every court meeting. He rested his chin on one hand, raised the other hand, and said, I think it's a good decision to surrender the Winster Kingdom.

What? Several courtiers who were unwilling to surrender were taken aback. They looked at the old earl on the main seat in surprise, while the courtiers standing opposite them looked at these guys who were arguing with them mockingly.

As Aldrie said just now, the Winsters are powerful. Even if they go to war with eleven countries at the same time, they can defeat our country with only one partial army, and even approach Dukang. I think the coalition forces may be in other countries We can’t take advantage of anything on the battlefield, after all, it’s not the Winster Kingdom that was under Jutian’s rule, but the powerful country that united Ravana and annexed Cunha.”

Then what if the Winsters fail to win the final victory? I'm afraid we will face a more tragic end then. The treasurer questioned.

Count Narliyev didn't think this was a problem. He smiled slightly and said, Even if the Winsters are defeated by then, we can surrender to the new lord. If they want to rule Tirisland, they have to rely on We, so we have nothing to lose anyway.

This is actually what the other two earls thought (out of the six counties in the Kingdom of Delj, two belonged to the royal family, and among the remaining four counties, Kuli fell), they were not worried that their position would be compromised Will be replaced, in fact, unless this war is a unilateral war of conquest by the Winsters, or the King of Winsters deprives them of their titles on the pretext that they are heretics, otherwise it will be fine-the latter is obviously Impossible, because the Kingdom of Winster has already become a multi-belief country. There are Daliism, emerging Christianity, and other religions. Even adding the Hadata religion they believe in will not hurt.

therefore,

After a brief discussion, the three earls responded unanimously—they were willing to surrender and swear allegiance to King Richard of the Kingdom of Winster.

Five days after the fall of Dukang City, envoys representing the surrender of the three earls arrived at the former capital of the Delj people. After personally meeting the three envoys and accepting their surrender, Toolagris was delighted to find that the entire Delj kingdom There is only Ganyueling who still obeys the royal family's orders, and Ganyueling only has a small number of garrison troops, which is nothing to worry about.

Just when Tooragris was about to lead his army to attack Ganyue, which still had the flag of the Kingdom of Delj, the latter had sent envoys to surrender. The nobles of Ganyue were not fools, they would not fight for the royal family. Stick to it and lose your life.

Ganyue surrendered, and the hopes of the royal family of Delge were completely shattered. The young Roberto had to become a prisoner of the Winsters sadly. His father, the old King Mariano, was still in a coma, and he also woke up once during the period. , but after learning that the kingdom was destroyed, he was so out of breath that he spit out a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma again. Tooragris also didn't have the habit of respecting the defeated. With a big wave of his hand, he made people take away the royal family of the Kingdom of Delj and escort them to Nord City.

His good news was also one step ahead, and was sent to the front lines of Nord City and Pravia Kingdom under the fast horse of the messenger.

At the same time, the siege of Suken City has also come to an end. Under the bombardment of the First Army's artillery for days, the originally modest city wall collapsed, and several gaps appeared. Building materials were used to create a low barrier in the gap in the city wall, but this barrier was not strong, and it was bombed again the next day after being bombarded again.

The defenders in the city also changed from being flustered by shelling at the beginning to becoming numb now. They no longer run around like headless chickens and scream at the same time after hearing the sound of the shells, they just look for cover on the spot. Wait for the shelling to end before coming out—the price for being able to develop this kind of response is the large number of corpses in the city.

There is no doubt that Suken City was not built as a capital from the beginning. From the beginning, the city was only condensed as a trading hub of an accessory town, and her city walls were only built to defend against robbers. The height and quality are evident. The royal family of Pravia, who had fled here, could only hide in the Governor's Mansion in the center of the city. Listening to the continuous roar all day long, feeling the trembling of the ground, their hearts trembled accordingly. They knew very well what would happen after the city was broken. Facing the angry Winster army, even if they were royal nobles, their fate would not be much better.

After days of shelling, the final battle finally came. The soldiers of the First Legion formed a dense phalanx and quickly approached the city wall full of gaps. The fire support of the archers and crossbowmen in the legion also tilted as the infantry advanced. Arrows rained down on the walls and the defenders in the gaps, covering the defenders' positions. A large number of soldiers were shot and blood stained the entire land.

The artillery didn't stop either. With deafening roars, the heavy metal shells came out, flew at high speed in mid-air, rolled, and then fell into the city, piercing the residential buildings inside. Immediately afterwards, the residents inside Amidst the sharp screams, the hit building collapsed, burying all life underneath.

At the gap in the city wall, elite soldiers of the First Legion poured in like a tide, and the defenders who fought with them were almost destroyed at the touch of a finger. However, no matter where they came from, at this moment, they abandoned their weapons and ran wildly, trying to escape the killing of the Winsters.

The temporary capital of the king of Pravia fell within a day.
