Rise of the Empire Total War

Looking at King Glass Moses, who was so irrelevant to the throne, Vitaly, a diplomat from the Republic of Ansmara, had the urge to rush up and beat him up, but he suppressed this idea, and now It would be difficult to get close, not to mention beating him up. Although the Burgundian soldiers around seemed not to be vigilant, he dared to believe that as long as he showed hostility, he would be subdued immediately.

Taking a deep breath, Vitali took a deep look at King Glass, and said coldly: Your Majesty, I hope you will not regret what happened today.

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind King Glass's gradually gloomy face.

After the diplomats left, the head of the kingdom's court saw King Glass's ugly face, and leaned over him, and asked softly, Your Majesty, this Vitaly is really rude, do you want to do something...

He didn't go on with what he said, but King Grass immediately understood what he meant. He thought about it for a while. There is hope that the Kingdom of Burgundia will participate in the war and rescue, and will continue to resist, but let Vitas go back and say what he meant, it is difficult to guarantee that the desperate Ansmara will not surrender to the Holy Roman Empire and will The agreement between them was laid bare.

Thinking of this, he felt chills down his back. The strength of the Holy Roman Empire army could only be endured by the Ansmara people, but he and his kingdom could not bear it.

After making up his mind, he nodded to the court chief, and replied in a low voice: You arrange it, don't do anything in the city, and when they leave the city, pretend to be robbers, and don't leave a single one alive.

Obey. The palace chief took the order and left. He was very good at such assassinations. For so many years, he had dealt with those who threatened the king.

Vitali didn't know that he was on the Burgundian king's dead list. After leaving the palace, he went straight back to the hotel where he was staying, asked his entourage to pack up, and left Brad directly in a carriage. His entourage asked him how the result was, and all he got was Vitaly's promise. The entourage soon understood and kept their mouths shut, and an uneasy silence enveloped everyone in the convoy.

At the same time, the killers hired by the court chief also set up an ambush in advance on the only way for Vitaly and his party. They lurk in the grass, holding custom-made crossbows in their hands. The force is greater than the usual ballista, and it can easily penetrate the carriage wall and shoot the passengers inside. The crossbow is not very popular on the Kuyawi continent, because of its high damage, a peasant holding a crossbow can easily kill a noble knight master, so the nobles resisted it, and only killers Before the organizational and military reforms, the Winster King's Army was also used on a large scale.

After the military reform, muskets were fully assembled in the army, and bows and crossbows were eliminated, so only those killer organizations that were active in the dark were still in use.

Compared with the bow, the smaller crossbow machine is more favored by assassins, and it takes a long time to practice using the bow to shoot the target, but the crossbow machine is unnecessary. The mechanical kinetic energy of the crossbow is as long as the crossbow is aimed at the target, and the buckle is released. Pull the trigger and you'll hit.

...

Under the watchful eyes of the assassins, Vitaly's convoy finally approached. The coachman in a linen jacket leaned against the front of the carriage, leisurely driving the horses pulling the carriage, not aware of the danger coming. Surrounding the carriage were a dozen or so guards in leather armor and riding horses. Although they did not talk, they were not very vigilant. Without the guards noticing, dozens of crossbows released them. Within the aiming range, just wait for them to enter the maximum killing range of the crossbow bolt, then pull the trigger.

My lord, the Burgundians are unwilling to join the war, so how should we report to the parliament when we go back?

In the carriage, Vitaly's confidant finally couldn't help asking after a long silence. Vitaly who was questioned was speechless. He sighed and remained silent for a long time before saying in a deep voice, I don't know either, but With the attacking speed of the Winsters, the entire territory of the mainland may have fallen before we return to De Nova (the capital of the Republic of Ansmara).

The whole territory has fallen, so where else can we go, to the colony of Zane Continent?

It's hard. Vitaly shook his head. The Shining Sea will definitely be blocked by the Winsters' navy. They can win more with less in the battle with the Ossa's navy. I'm afraid our navy will also be blocked. They are not their opponents, so the command of the sea will also be in their hands.

Hearing this, the confidant has nothing to say. He has resentment towards those people in the Congress of the Republic in his heart. If they hadn't trusted the Burgundians too credulously, then this war could have been avoided. Although there were rumors that the Winsters would take the initiative to declare war before, that was just a rumor. Even if war really broke out, they could still make more preparations before the war.

Seeing Vitaly's sad face, the confidant opened his mouth, and just wanted to comfort him, but in the next second, he heard several screams from outside, and swallowed back his words. Shocked, the confidant hurriedly opened the curtain and looked out. What he saw was blood all over the ground. A crossbow arrow was inserted deeply, bleeding profusely, and he was already dead.

Outside the road, a large number of robbers wearing tattered armor rushed out of the woods brandishing their weapons and surrounded the carriage. A guard who hadn't died struggled to get up and fight back, but was kicked over by the leader of the robbers. He was hacked to death by the robbers following him.

This bloody scene made his cronies almost vomit. Thinking of Vitali behind him, he strengthened his courage a little and scolded, Who are you? Do you know that this is the convoy of diplomatic envoys from the Republic of Ansmara?

The envoy of the Republic of Ansmara? The leader of the robbers repeated his words, and then spat on the ground contemptuously, signaling the people close to the carriage to move. Immediately afterwards, those people took a step forward and moved The confidant was dragged out of the car, and fell to the ground hard, throwing him into the mud.

Seeing the cronies in distress, the leading robber took a step forward, stepped on his face, looked down at him, and said disdainfully: What about the envoy of the Republic of Ansmara? We killed Ansmara. Smara.

After saying that, he swung his long sword and hacked to death the cronies who stepped on the ground.

At this moment, Vitaly was also pulled out. He looked at the dead bodies around him with a pale face, and at the robber who threw the blood on the sword, and said in a deep voice: I am from the Republic of Ansmara. Diplomatic envoy, I can give you any money, as long as you let me go.

Why should I let you go? The robber said with a sneer, As long as I kill you, I can take the money myself.

Hearing this, Vitali's face became even more ugly. He looked around without any trace, and found that the vigilance of the robbers around him was not high, maybe they knew they had no weapons. Seeing this, he was heartbroken, gritted his teeth, and rushed directly to the unowned horse closest to him. The people around him were unprepared and watched Vitali running towards the horse in astonishment. When they reacted and rushed to catch up , Vitali had already run to the side of the horse, and stepped on the stirrup with all his strength to get on the horse. Looking at the robber who was only a few steps away from him, he beat the horse vigorously, and actually rushed out by driving the horse.

However, before he could be happy for a long time, there was a sound of air tearing behind him, and he yelled in his heart that something was wrong. Before he could turn his head to look, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and a crossbow arrow directly shot through his chest. A bloody arrow flew out of his chest, and Vitali felt his eyes go dark, and he passed out completely.

Seeing the horses running farther and farther, the leading robber looked gloomy. He kicked several people around and cursed at the same time: A group of trash, even an unarmed diplomatic envoy can't stand it.

After cursing, he panted heavily, and estimated the power of the crossbow bolt he had just shot, thinking that he should be able to take the life of the diplomatic envoy, and his uneasiness was greatly reduced.
