The Rise of the European Emperor

The Tower of London is a strong fortress-type building, an independent city castle. Because it is the residence of the royal family of all dynasties, the guards are extremely strict, and the city walls are also very tall and strong.

There are two hundred and dozens of knights with high martial arts skills and hundreds of regular soldiers guarding this strong castle. It seems that it is really not easy.

Kahn took the team to the main gate of the Tower of London Palace - the southwest gate, waiting for the arrival of the demolition team...

Neither Marin nor Edward entered the city, but oversaw the battle outside the city. Of course, in fact, these two goods did not enter the city immediately because they were afraid of death. According to the plan of the two, they must wait until the enemy is eliminated before they will wear plate armor and engage in a city entrance ceremony, and they will pretend to accept the cheers of the subjects...

What? You say the people of London don't want to cheer? What is the purpose of the swords of the soldiers? Give him a moment without cheering...

The City of London is huge, with tens of thousands of inhabitants (definitely a big city in this day and age). There are many streets and dark alleys in the city. Marin was very worried that he would be assassinated by the enemy without the elite escort after he entered the city. You know, in order to attack, he sent the number one bodyguard Kahn and a group of guard knights out. Counting on the group of infantry around him, it seems difficult to stop the assassination. After all, that group of muscular knights, wearing plate armor, are very durable, and they are also very suitable for their own meat shields...

Looking at the West Gate of London, and the Thames River in the south, Marin was silent for a while, and suddenly asked:

"By the way, I remember that the Tower of London is on the Thames River, and the southeast wall of this palace faces the Thames River. By the way, will Henry VII escape from the Thames River?"

Edward was stunned, then patted his head and said:

"It's really possible! We send someone to intercept?"

"Have you prepared?" Speaking of which, Marin was really negligent on this point. After all, he is not a smart computer, and there will inevitably be loopholes in his thinking.

McKinley, one of the leaders of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce next to him, said with a smile:

"Please rest assured, Grand Duke, the ten merchant ships of our Beihai Chamber of Commerce in the Port of London are probably all dispatched at this time. It is estimated that they are blocking the small Royal Royal Wharf outside the southeast gate of the Tower of London!"

"Oh, you are really capable, I thought of it all. If you catch the big fish, you will be rewarded!"

"Yes, lots of rewards! I'm not a stingy person!" Edward said on the side.

...

Sure enough, McKinley did not lie. At this time, 10 large ships of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce blocked the Royal Dock on the Thames River outside the southeast gate of the Tower of London. At this time, Henry VII jumped with anger...

"Bastards! Where did these bastards come from? Why block our escape ship!"

In fact, Henry VII did have a "big" ship of about 200 tons on the small royal pier. Originally, after learning that Marin's army had invaded the city of London, Henry VII made plans to board the ship with his wife and children, and then go into exile.

Anyway, he, Henry VII, was not without exile. Back then, as a collateral member of the Lancaster family, in order to avoid the pursuit of the York family, he stayed in the Duchy of Brittany for a long time.

He has already made a plan - with his wife and children and some cronies, with some precious jewelry, to exile in the Netherlands, to seek the protection of Emperor Maximilian I...

As for France, he cannot go. He had previously commanded the English Navy to destroy the French Navy, and Louis XII could not wait to cut him. And Spain, because of Princess Catherine's death, won't like him either.

Only Maximilian I, who had no grievances and hatreds with him, was easier to accept. Moreover, Maximilian I is also the boss of Marin Hoffman after all, and he can always stop the "evil dog" from chasing and killing him... If the Netherlands does not accept him, then he will go into exile in Norway...

But plans are only plans after all, and when Henry VII packs up,

When I was about to take my family and confidants to board the boat and run away, I unexpectedly found that the river was blocked...

Henry VII jumped with anger, but soon, he realized that he couldn't escape...

...

After Kahn waited for the demolition team to arrive, he ordered the demolition team's demolitionists to pry open the masonry under the gate of the Tower of London with iron picks, bury the powder keg in it, and set it on fire...

"Boom—" The southwest gate of the Tower of London was suddenly blown open. And Kahn, with a group of mixed formations consisting of guard knights and scout cavalry musketeers, carefully broke into the Tower of London Palace...

But what surprised Kahn was that the resistance along the road was not very strong, and most of them were infantry. In front of the knights of the guards, these infantry are the food delivery...

But soon, Kahn understood why the enemy's resistance was not strong - it turned out that Henry VII took his family and his trusted knights to the southeast gate of the Thames River. It looks like it's going to take a boat to run away...

"No, we can't let this guy escape, let's stop them!" Kahn was shocked.

But soon, he was less nervous. Because, he saw the merchant ship of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce with the black cross flag raised on the river - obviously, Henry VII's ship was blocked...

"I gave you all the money and made you nobles, get out of the way!" Henry VII shouted from the shore.

However, the captains of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce were unmoved - a joke, I know you have a lot of money, but under the eyes of the public, who would dare to ask for your money? As for sealing us as nobles, your own life is at risk. Who will admit the nobles?

In the end, Henry VII decided to fight to the death. He boarded the warship with more than two hundred guard knights and his family. Then, let the knights of the guard who understand sailing control the ships and rush to the merchant ships of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce who are blocking them...

However, the form did not develop as Henry VII expected. These two hundred or so guard knights could fight ten each on land. But on the deck of the ship, they were far worse than the sailors who made up the numbers in town.

When the jumping boat gang was dying, many of the knights of the guards fell directly. Even, a few did not jump on the opposite boat, and fell directly into the river...

Although these English Guards knights are also able to communicate with water, it does not mean that they are good at fighting on ships. Soon, on the rickety deck, the valiant English Guard knights were defeated. In particular, the sailors of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce took out the clockwork gun, a knight nemesis...

In the end, Henry VII's family failed to escape by boat. When Kahn took a group of men on board and chased the river, Henry VII's family could only be captured. Henry VII was very dissatisfied and scolded, Kahn was angry when he heard it, and knocked Henry VII unconscious with a knife. Then, he carried the fainted Henry VII off the ship like a chicken and returned to the Royal Palace of the Tower of London, which had been controlled by the army of the Grand Duchy of the North Sea...
