Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 378 The Dark Night Coup (Part 1)

Damn it! What a disgrace!

In the Rodomlins Palace in Rostas City, the capital of the Principality of Lasik, the angry roar of Grand Duke Felicias sounded at this moment. Along with his roar, there were also the sound of many things being thrown heavily on the ground and falling apart.

In the palace, the servants all lowered their heads, not daring to peek at the furious Grand Duke Felicias without authorization, for fear of accidentally touching his bad head and burning themselves, how scared they are, even if something hits them I didn't dare to react on my own body, only dared to endure silently.

Grand Duke Felicias had his reasons for being so angry. The Winsters used mysterious witchcraft to blast open the stone piles sealed by the city gate, and then swaggered into the city to be an uncle. Making a fool of himself in front of the soldiers made him very angry. He had suffered a lot from losing his battle and being surrounded by groups in the capital, but now that he made a fool of himself, his image must have fallen to the bottom in the eyes of the soldiers.

He was furious in the palace, but the Winsters enjoyed free food and drink outside. They believed that they were the saviors of the Rostas people, so they ate and drink free in the city, and went to various hotels and brothels to enjoy free services. These ruthless soldiers walked on the street, saw what they wanted, and took it away without paying. The poor shopkeeper wanted to protest, but he was too scared to speak because of the swords and spears on them. Can swallow bitterness into the stomach.

And Richard himself even forcibly booked the best hotel in Rostas City, and all the guests living in it were forcibly kicked out. The whole hotel seemed to be the garrison of Winster's army, and it was full of armed men. Soldiers Winster, in this dull atmosphere, the clerks in the hotel didn't even dare to make a big noise when they walked, and they didn't dare to carry extra things on their bodies, otherwise they would be killed on the spot as assassins. There is no place to complain—but no one dares to deal with these tyrannical Winsters.

In less than a day, the city of Rostas was devastated by the Winster army. The residents looked at those Uncle Winster walking on the street, and they were all angry and dared not speak. I can curse them in a low voice behind my back, but how can the illusory curse be effective? The Winsters still go to various entertainment venues arbitrarily and prostitute all kinds of things for free. This situation lasted until the third day after they entered the city It's finally over.

On the third night, Grand Duke Felicias knew that he could not continue to indulge the Winsters, so he arranged a banquet at the Rodomlins Palace and invited Richard to the banquet. He had a showdown with Richard, and discussed with him when he could go east to help suppress the rebels, but he didn't expect that this banquet led by him would turn into a grand feast against him.

...

You returned like lightning, bringing hope and light to us in suffering...

Amidst the singing of bards, Richard in casual clothes led several of his adjutants into the main hall of Rodenlins Palace,

Listening to the sound of musical instruments in the hall and the lyrics of the bard, he had just stood in the hall when Grand Duke Felicias greeted him enthusiastically, saying: Dear Your Majesty Richard, I am very pleased You can accept my invitation and come to the banquet, and I hope we can reach a consensus at this small banquet.

Of course, I believe we will be able to reach a satisfactory consensus. Richard nodded and said.

Hahaha, I hope so. Archduke Felicias said, leading Richard to the seat specially prepared for him. Richard noticed that in addition to the busy servants and musicians, there were bards in the whole venue. Apart from the poet, there are no extra people. In other words, at the banquet tonight, Grand Duke Felicias did not invite other nobles.

Seeing this, Richard was a little puzzled. He followed Felicias and asked, I found that there are no other nobles in this venue. Didn't you invite them?

Yes, you observed carefully. Felicias replied, and he pointed to the layout of the venue at the same time, saying: This banquet invites you in my own name, and it is not so formal. We just got rid of the siege, and the supplies of Rostas City have not been replenished in a short time, so we can only hold small-scale banquets.

I see. Richard nodded. While the two were talking, Felicias had already led Richard to the position arranged for him. This position was diagonally below the main seat, which can be said to be the closest to the main seat. From this, it can be seen that Felicias What Sias said was not lying.

After all, the two sides took their seats, and the several lieutenants brought by Richard also sat in other positions. At the same time, outside the Rodenlins Palace, where the Winster army was stationed, there was already a tense atmosphere. They were all asked to gather in the barracks. With the help of their comrades, they all changed their armor or wiped their weapons. Everyone didn't speak, but even if there was no verbal communication, they could still feel that the war was coming tension.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Except for the lanterns hanging on the roadside buildings that were still emitting a faint light to illuminate a small area around them, there were only the occasional patrols passing by. A torch can bring a little light to this dark street.

Under the cover of darkness, the Winsters finally took action.

Get ready for action!

In the Winster army garrison, as a specific signal sounded, the officers in each barracks suddenly stood up, with solemn expressions, and shouted at the surrounding soldiers. As soon as they finished speaking, the soldiers stood up reflexively. Getting up, he fixed his longing eyes on the officer.

At the personal order of His Majesty Caesar, when the signal sounds, the whole army will move to control the city of Rostas!

Operation code name, Night Killer!

action!

call!

While most of the civilians were still asleep, a group of heavily armed Winster soldiers filed out from the garrison. They deliberately did not light torches, and marched around the street under the cover of night. The patrols encountered along the way were all killed Kill on the spot. The main targets of Winster's army were the Lasik barracks, city gates and warehouses in the city, as well as the Rodenrins Palace in the center of the city.

However, no matter how much the Winsters try to cover up their tracks, the movement of the brigade's advance will still attract the attention of the Lasik army. Before the Winster army took the first target, their tracks were narrowly avoided The patrol members of the disaster reported to the garrison in the barracks, but just when the garrison in the barracks was about to send someone to report, they discovered that a large group of Winster soldiers had surrounded the place.
