Rise of the Empire Total War - Chapter 509
, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of the Empire, Total War!
October 1, 1127 in the mainland calendar is the National Day of the great motherland of another world.
The second and third brigade of the expeditionary army landed all the way ashore. The soldiers moved into the fortress group that had been in ruins. They then divided the work under the guidance of the artisans with the army, and partly used the waste stones and nearby trees to rebuild the camp. Part of it is to go to the beach to build a temporary port where the warship can dock, and also to allow the supplies from the transport ship to be transported to the shore.
Although soldiers can go ashore in small boats, those heavy supplies are difficult to transport to shore by small boats. Therefore, apart from taking down an Ansmara port and unloading the cargo there, the fleet has only to build a temporary Camp now. The first option is obviously impossible, because the expeditionary force is not familiar with the place of life here, and it is very likely that the fleet will have lost its way before finding the port.
While building the stronghold, Trond Olsen, the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Army, also sent scouts to go deep inland to explore. The trend is even more dark. If the Ansmara colonial forces rely on their knowledge of this area to fight with them, they can only rush to fight.
What’s more, before they set off, they got a very important thing from the ocean merchants who returned to the Valdasia Peninsula. In order to guard against the expeditionary forces, the Ansmara had close contacts with the indigenous tribes on the mainland of Zane. They may unite with them to fight the expeditionary army. The merchants don’t know much about the indigenous tribes, but they can still draw the characteristics of Zane’s indigenous people through the few words recorded in the books.
The natives on the Zane continent have many common characteristics. Their warriors are rudimentary and poorly equipped. Only chiefs and some nobles can wear the expensive chain mail in the eyes of the natives, and use sharp iron swords and strong shields. A few people of the samurai class of the nobility can also wear chain armor, but more people can only wear leather armor made of rhino leather and other animal skins. Although their weapons are also iron, most of them have ironware. Used for many years, it is covered with gaps, which in the eyes of the indigenous warriors symbolizes their military exploits.
In addition to the noble class and the warrior class, the ruled tribesmen will also participate in the war, because the least valuable on this continent is the population, so every time a war breaks out, the tribes participating in the war can draw out a huge army. The core of the army is a handful of elite warriors, and the rest are tribal people who fight their enemies bravely with a passion. Although they are simply equipped (without armor, except for the iron weapons that have been eliminated, they are spears and stone axes inlaid with sharp obsidian. ), but it can’t stand the crowds, and they often fight and fight, and the crowds win the victory.
Therefore, the Valdacian explorers who went to Zane to explore the continent after returning to their hometown after experiencing difficulties and obstacles, when writing their travel notes, they basically summarized the battle scenes of the Zane natives they saw in this sentence. : There are a large number of Zane people, brave and militant, but the equipment is simple, like a barbarian.
Forgot to mention that the Zane native tribe is generally divided into four classes. The first class is the chieftain as the ruler and the nobles who are loyal to him. They enjoy the best treatment in the tribe and have the most wealth; the second class is the warrior class who is responsible for the war, and they are mostly the most in the tribe. Those who are capable of fighting, need to train combat skills or follow people to participate in large-scale beast hunting activities. They are the backbone of the tribe; the third class is the vast number of tribesmen who were born in the tribe. Growing up, they have been integrated with the tribe. They are the most basic manpower. They are responsible for cultivating crops and hunting, providing food to the tribe. They also took up the weapons handed down by their ancestors during the war and followed the warriors to the battlefield; the fourth class They are the lowest and least human slaves. They are basically prisoners of war captured in battles between tribes, or the population looted when they attacked the Ansmara colony.

“This ghost place is unexpectedly desolate.”
Looking at the yellow sand on the ground, Scout Team Captain Bjorn subconsciously said with emotion, no wonder he would say that, whether it is in the Vadasiya Peninsula or the Holy Kuyavian Empire in the north, there is greenery everywhere. The scenery, and only in the tropical place of Zane mainland, can you see the endless yellow sand.
Although it has entered October, the daytime temperature in Zane is still not low. If it is calculated in degrees Celsius in the future generations, it should be more than 30 degrees at this time. Zane is very hot during the day, but it seems to be at night. It came to another place, the temperature dropped sharply, and the lowest may reach below zero. Therefore, the expeditionary army who had just arrived did not make corresponding precautions, and many soldiers could not withstand the extreme temperature changes and fell ill in bed.
Considering this situation, Lieutenant General Tronde suspends the next military operations. Otherwise, he can leave a brigade to continue building strongholds and temporary ports, and send a brigade to continue military operations. Although this is a bit risky, Tronde does not It is believed that the winning streak will be ended on such a barren continent.
Keke, it’s far away.

Stopped and watched the almost endless yellow sand in front of you~www.mtlnovel.com~ This team of scout cavalry composed of carbine cavalry drove their horses and ran forward again. According to their chief, the Ansmara’s Only a few colony gathering points are located on the coast. As a window for the colony to communicate with foreign countries, these port gathering points are small in number, but compared to inland gathering points, they are very prosperous and have a large population. They are the main targets of scouts. The large number of gathering points scattered inland are more like castles. Many colonial troops are stationed in each gathering point, and the residents also live behind the fortified city walls.
In other words, the expeditionary army knows where the capital of the colonial Begovo is located. Begovo is a coastal port city with a permanent population of more than 10,000 inhabitants. It is the most prosperous city in the entire colonial nation. , Is also the place where the governor lives. The expeditionary force could go directly to the city of Begovo, attack from the sea, and occupy the city along the way, but Trond and Sigurd were worried that the Ansmara would lose the attack if the Ansmara were heavily garrisoned under the city. , So I decided to land nearby, and after gaining a firm foothold on the ground, I went to attack Begovo City.
However, what they did not expect was that the expeditionary army was attacked by abnormal temperatures as soon as they landed ashore. Many soldiers in the army fell ill. In addition, many people vomited and vomited because of inconsistent water and soil, and directly lost their combat effectiveness. Stuck in a dilemma.
