Rise of the Empire Total War

Rumble——

Outside the port of Lyktos, the sound of cannons was still ringing, and one after another black shadows flew at high speed with thunderous roars, smashing heavily into the port of Lyktos, which had long been in ruins, and would also destroy any ships moored in the port. Torn into pieces, together with everything on the ship, sank to the bottom of the sea together.

I don't know how long the roar of the shelling lasted. When the last shell was sent into the air, the flagship sent out a semaphore again. Immediately afterwards, dozens of transport ships carrying sergeants with spears rushed out of the fleet and headed towards the already reduced The ruined port rushed at high speed. More than ten minutes later, the transport ship sailed into the port, docked on the shore, put down the planks, and groups of heavily armed soldiers landed on the port along the planks randomly and orderly.

Looking at the Port of Lyctors, which looked like the end of the world, the soldiers couldn't help but take a deep breath. They looked around, and all they saw were collapsed buildings, human corpses with their limbs torn apart, and the corpses on the ground. There were bomb craters one after another, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was full of the smell brought by the sea breeze. When inhaled, the olfactory nerves in the nasal cavity immediately began to protest, making them frown uncontrollably.

Go ahead and occupy this place!

The officers in the team shouted, and the spear sergeants of the company went deep into the ruins. Under the continuous high-intensity shelling, it was impossible for there to be any living people in the port area. The soldiers obviously realized that This, so they all relaxed their vigilance. However, things are impermanent. When a company passed by the ruins of a building, a dusty soldier of Luctus suddenly appeared from behind the ruins. He held it up high and threw it at the marching company with a roar. Someone in the company was caught off guard and was pierced through the chest by a javelin on the spot and fell in a pool of blood.

Damn! There are enemies! The company commander shouted angrily. Before he could give an order, two soldiers rushed out of the phalanx. They roared angrily, and one of them directly used his spear as a javelin. , struggling to throw at the sneak attacking enemy, but the spear did not hit the target, but flew over the man's body. Seeing this, the other soldier raised his spear and stabbed at the enemy who rushed into the air, only to hear a muffled pop, the spear pierced the enemy in mid-air, and blood spurted out from the wound, splashing the enemy. The soldier's face was bloody.

After dealing with the enemies that appeared suddenly, the soldiers continued to move forward, but they didn't dare to relax their vigilance. They focused on looking at the ruins on both sides of the road, for fear that another enemy would jump out of it, but they haven't seen it since then. The new enemy walked out of the port area in fear all the way.

After walking out of the port area, the commander of the brigade responsible for the first landing sent someone to report the situation here to Commander-in-Chief Charles, and at the same time ordered the companies to stop advancing and line up on the spot, waiting for follow-up reinforcements. The soldiers at the front line could see that the urban area of ​​Lyktos City was more or less affected. Many buildings had collapsed, and the bodies of the civilians who were crushed inside could be vaguely seen.

Everything that followed went very smoothly. After the new brigade landed at the port, they marched into the city along the devastated roads. They encountered no resistance on their march. The civilians just hid in their homes shivering, looking through the doors and windows. Peeping out of the gaps in the imposing Winster Expeditionary Army, the roar outside the port rang for several hours. The violent shelling not only destroyed the port, but also shattered their resistance ideas, even those who went to resist the invaders All the soldiers have gone and never returned, what can these civilians do?

It took only half a day for Lyktos City to be captured. The soldiers who were concentrated in the port area to defend against the enemy were blasted into fragments from a long distance without even seeing the enemy's face. Except for a few lucky ones who escaped, the civilians were also buried under the ruins, and those lucky ones who escaped by chance also publicized their knowledge and knowledge. Therefore, in a short time,

The Winster Crusade is depicted as an evil army of witchcraft capable of summoning divine powers.

All of this, Charles and other senior generals have become accustomed to it. During the years of fighting on the Valdasia Peninsula, their enemies also put any evil terms on the heads of Winster's army, but with the pace of their victory Getting closer and closer, the slanderous names on the noisy cloud have turned into words to flatter them.

After conquering the city of Lyktos, Charles immediately ordered a search for King Cablias. He had already learned the principle of extermination from Prince Phyllis, and now Cablias' family has fallen into the Winster army. In his hands, the only threat can't be let go—it's just that their search was in vain after all. As the search deepened, Cabrias' body that was blasted into pieces was bit by bit It turned out that Cablias and his army had already died in the shelling.

After finding the fragments of the body, Charles followed Richard's previous instructions to find a suitable puppet in the royal chamber of Lyctus and put him on the throne. After some searching, Osama, the youngest son of King Cablias, came into Charles' sight, and Charles took him regardless of the other party's willingness or not (how can a two-year-old child have any opinion?), After his three elder brothers were secretly hanged, he was directly put on the throne. In order to control him more deeply, Charles also replaced all the people in his court with Winsters.

In less than a week, earth-shaking changes took place in the Kingdom of Lyctus. The old king died in battle, and several princes who still had the ability to recognize died mysteriously, leaving only one young prince to inherit the throne, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It can be seen that the new king is destined to be the puppet of the Winsters. In addition to the change of the ruler, the ruined port was also rebuilt. A large number of civilians were forcibly mobilized and flooded into the port area under the supervision of Foreman Winster to clean up the ruins and build new buildings.

As the first stronghold of the Winster Expeditionary Force, the port of Lyktos will be used as a military port after reconstruction. Not only will the First Fleet be stationed here, but the military supplies from the port of Paisikia in the north of Delgis will also be sent to the port. Sent here, if necessary, future reinforcements will land directly here-forgot to say, because of strategic needs, Paisikia Port was also ordered to be transformed into a brand new military port, where not only some Huo There is also a brigade of soldiers in charge of guarding the battleship.
