Ruidian Kyoto, Palavon

It has begun to feel cooler in Palaven in late autumn. The trees beside the city wall are withering in the autumn wind. The streets are covered with scattered leaves, and no one has cleaned them for a long time. Bajie Literature 8jwx.com

The autumn wind passed by, bringing up the dead branches and leaves flying all over the sky, which seemed to be intertwined into fragmented patterns in mid-air. Some people said that these were all bad omens. The Palavon Rebellion is definitely the news that has shaken the mainland the most in the past 20 years. This great and glorious city still seems to have not gotten rid of its fateful curse. It is destined to coexist with blood and glory, just like the split hundreds of years ago. Just like the civil war in Calradia, the millennium dynasty, the rebels and the crusaders launched a bloody and brutal tug-of-war in this area of ​​less than 30 kilometers.

After the Dongting cavalry plundered the land at will, the warring parties, with a total of nearly 300,000 troops, did not point their weapons at the Dongting people who were close at hand. Instead, they all pointed at each other. This is an extreme thing. irony and sadness

"Unless the traitors die, the country will be in trouble."

The crusade with a will for revenge began to approach the city wall of Palaven. War flags with various angry slogans written in bright red paint floated like an ocean over the camp opposite Palavon. From a distance, they looked like a vast sea. Shocking sea of ​​blood

The war between the two sides was an irreconcilable fight to the death from the beginning. Relying on the large number of people, the crusade army almost did not even have the most basic formation, and surged towards the tall and solid city wall of Palaven like a sea tide.

Kyoto Palavon is worthy of being the center of the mainland. The solid defense system that has been in operation for hundreds of years has caused a large number of crusaders to be beaten and bloody. After many days of fierce fighting, they were unable to achieve satisfactory results. Instead, they suffered losses of nearly 10,000 people. People, the corpses of soldiers from both sides were piled up in the corner of Palaven.

The era never lacks ambitions and ambitions. This great showdown between the old and new factions of Ruildian is like a huge whirlpool, involving more than a thousand existing families and nearly 40,000 nobles in Ruildian.

There are more than 500 Ruidian wealthy families divided into two opposing factions, almost all over the central and southern Ruidian. Other families are wavering.

The local faction, headed by the family of the Marquis Bequeda of New York County, openly threatened to support the second prince Harauskos as the supervisory crown prince, and under the banner of safeguarding the orthodoxy of the kingdom and punishing the rebels, they mobilized a group of more than 6,000 people. The local army advanced towards Palavon,

This move made the local nobles who had been bullied by the Kyoto nobles gather together like a pack of wolves after smelling blood. If the royal power loses control, then everyone should have the ambition to seize power.

Advocating such inflammatory slogans, this team absorbed the blood of new members along the way and looted any village it encountered along the way. The people who joined were also various, including small nobles dragging hundreds of tattered equipment and peasant soldiers, There are also high-ranking nobles with dozens of elite cavalry, small businessmen who have gone bankrupt, and bandits and bandits who are desperate. This army is like a big sponge, absorbing all kinds of careerists, moving towards the dreams in their hearts. Go forward to the beautiful land,

Supreme royal power, hereditary glory, magnificent wars, beauties, endless wealth,

Whether they were small nobles or wealthy families who longed for greater power, they saw what they desired before this sudden power storm. By the time they arrived at Reinhardt Castle on the outskirts of Palaven, this unknown army had already swelled. to an extremely impressive 80,000 people

A third party force of 80,000 people appeared in the center representing secular royal power.

This news undoubtedly shocked the expeditionary army and the second prince who were still immersed in fighting. At first, they did not care about the nonsense of these local nobles. The 6,000 miscellaneous peasant soldiers were really not a big deal. To be conservative, a thousand trained soldiers A skilled cavalry can easily solve this problem and turn these ignorant country bumpkins into corpses in the wilderness.

But within half a month, 6,000 turned into 80,000, and both parties suddenly realized that it was time to give up.

This 80,000-strong army with unknown intentions is like a group of eyeing careerists who may bite the exhausted two sides at any time. Or, it is not an exaggeration to call them 80,000 locusts.

It's not like these local nobles are all Palawan's crusaders and rebels. Although the war was brutal, both sides deliberately avoided harming civilians and infrastructure, because neither side wanted the city they fought hard to build to be a mess. worthless ruins,

But the local coalition forces are different. They have no scruples about this city and this land. They have no supplies and no logistics. This uncontrolled army is like locusts. The place they walk through is often in a mess. If it is really completely Without the power to control, that kind of madness would completely destroy Palavon,

“This is an opportunity”

As the only surviving adult prince in the royal family, the second prince Harauskes undoubtedly has more bargaining chips than the veteran ministers who have already occupied high positions and are unwilling to give in.

Because he had no advantage over the established aristocrats, the second prince, Harauskos, while proclaiming himself the prince of the prison, quickly won over the local aristocrats who had been bullied by the Kyoto aristocrats.

Countless dukes, marquises, political officers, and army commanders of all kinds who don't need money. . . . Waiting for the fancy titles to be thrown around Palavon like scattered flowers, the local nobles who have always been eager to obtain higher status and glory,

These were not originally his, so he threw them away in a particularly chic way. He even gave the Marquis of Burke, the governor of New York County, a title that was enough to impress most ambitious people, the Minister of War and Minister of Finance, in exchange for the support of the local aristocracy that held the balance of victory or defeat.

"It's really messy"

Lidacus looked away with some emotion. Outside the car window, Paraven, which maintained a delicate truce, had become deserted and lonely, as if it was on the verge of death.

The autumn wind swept across the empty streets, and it seemed that the damp and humid smell was even stronger. The tragic smell of war could be felt outside the city.

The tall city walls were covered with traces of fierce fighting, bloodstains and broken corners were everywhere, the rock walls were scorched black by the flames, the houses outside the city had been demolished, and the wide flat ground
