Rise of the Empire Total War

The wave of rebellion against the Holy Roman Empire was subdued at a speed beyond everyone's expectations. A dozen rebels were suppressed after only being active for less than a month. Not only was the leader himself killed, but his family members were also arrested and shot.

Such iron-blooded suppression frightened the Ossa people, and they realized that the Holy Roman Empire army is not easy to mess with. The memory of the Tarossos massacre ten years ago came back to people's minds again. Although the young man didn't understand this past event, his face turned pale with fright when he heard the story from the older generation, and he didn't dare to be a hero.

Peace was immediately restored in the huge empire-occupied area, except for the more frequent legion patrols and the corpses of those prisoners of war who were crucified and beaten by the wind and rain, silently telling the civilians what happened some time ago, as if nothing happened happened before. In order to reduce the recurrence of similar riots, various cities have ordered martial law and issued curfews. Everyone must stay at home after nightfall (that is, around 6:30), and are not allowed to travel without authorization. Sentence for crime.

In order not to get into trouble, the civilians consciously reduce the number of gatherings, and even when walking on the street, try to keep the number of people below three, because they found that once the city defense troops patrolling the street saw people gathered together, they would With a vigilant look, although he didn't directly go forward to disperse it, it was still enough to make the civilians nervous.

At the same time, the Roman fleet, which had been sailing for several months, finally arrived at its destination and moored in the bustling port in Bell Port on the Valdasia Peninsula. The officials of Port Belle had already received the news and were waiting on the port, surrounded by residents who came to join in the fun. They stretched their necks one by one, wishing they were giraffes, just to see the people from very far away. Explorers of the Dogero Continent.

On the deck of the Jupiter, Hariand did not expect that his party would receive such a warm welcome. He looked at the crowds of people and was a little dazed, but soon returned to normal. Ornus on the side saw his strangeness in his eyes , smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, General Hariand, you may be the first foreigner to receive such a warm welcome.

After several months of sailing, Hariand and Ornus became friends. He also smiled when he heard Ornus' kind words, and said, It's an honor.

Hahaha……

During the conversation between the two, the battleship docked and lowered the drawbridge from the deck. As the host, Ornus was naturally responsible for guiding it. He stepped forward, made a gesture of invitation, and said, Please, General Hariand, feel the enthusiasm of the people.

please.

Hariand also made a gesture of invitation and said, and then walked onto the suspension bridge with Ornus. At this time, Hariand's adjutant turned to look at the Roman soldiers on the deck ready to go,

His body stiffened suddenly, and he shouted loudly, Line up!

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers lined up neatly in two teams, with their guns in their left hand and their right hand clinging to the seam of their trousers, looking ahead.

Remember, you represent the Roman Empire, don't let the Empire be ashamed!

The adjutant shouted, Let's go!

Tread Tread——

With neat steps, the Roman soldiers followed Harriand and Onus, and walked down the drawbridge. Their appearance attracted the attention of everyone in the port. Officials, nobles and citizens looked at the man in red uniform. Compared with the soldiers of the city defense army responsible for maintaining order in the port, the Roman soldiers, although the military uniforms are similar in appearance but equally effective, but in terms of momentum, the soldiers of the Romans are slightly better. This is no wonder, because the soldiers of the city defense army rarely participate in wars. They lack murderousness.

Tens of seconds later, Hariand and the others set foot on the solid port, and the consul of Bell City, as well as a group of officials and nobles rushed up to meet them. The consul first saluted and greeted the foreign affairs chief Ornus, and then introduced himself to Hariand Said: General from Rome, I am Bell Consul Valentin Robogi, it is an honor for you to come to Bell City.

Consul Roboji, I am Lucius Claudius Hariand, Commander of the Roman Expedition. It is an honor to meet you. Hariand leaned forward slightly and said politely.

Hearing his self-introduction, Luo Boji's eyes flashed a strange look, but he hid it well and said nothing, while the officials and nobles behind him also stepped forward to introduce themselves and greeted Hariand.

After one round passed, Valentine Roboji looked at the noisy citizens around him, smiled, and said, General Hariand, we have prepared a welcome banquet for you at the Governor's Mansion, please come with us.

En. Hariand nodded, and then looked at the twenty-five huge warships moored in the port. Although he didn't speak, Luo Boji still saw his concerns at a glance, and said with a smile: General Hariand, Please rest assured, we will send city defense troops to guard the port, and send drinks to reward your soldiers.

Thank you. Hariand nodded, and followed Consul Luo Boji to the carriage that had been prepared outside the port, and then rode the carriage all the way to the Governor's Mansion.

...

Harriand and his party only stayed in Bell City for one day. On the second afternoon, they set off from Bell Harbor on the Hawker gunboat of the Imperial Navy, advanced along the coastline until they entered the Fabrizi River, and then went upstream, where they were again in Bell City. The city of Ravana, the capital of the Ravana region, stopped at Ravana City. As the foreign minister, Onus led Hariand and some Roman officers to visit Ravana City for a day, and then continued to set off the next day.

In the city of Ravana, Hariand heard about Richard's deeds from Ornus and other channels, and also witnessed the love of the citizens for Richard and Stephanie, and he was even more looking forward to meeting Richard. up. In his opinion, Richard was able to counterattack from a down-and-out exiled prince to the founder of a powerful empire. He can be called a legend. Just bragging.

After leaving the city of Ravana, the fleet went all the way north along the Fabrici River, turned into the newly opened canal, passed through the city of Leon, where it was welcomed by Earl Condra, the captain of the general guard of Richard, and passed through the Through Condela's conversation, Hariand has a deeper understanding of Richard's image, and his yearning is even greater.

A few days later, on May 11, 1129 in the continental calendar, the fleet entered the canal port of Vienna, anchored on the shore, and put down the Roman guests who had come from afar. Here, Hariand was personally greeted by Richard, as well as the Viennese citizens who were almost full of the port. Although he had the same experience in Bell Harbor, it was the legendary Richard who greeted him personally this time. Emperor Germany, this flattered Hariand, and his impression of Richard in his heart became better.
