My lord, Chuguo state has allied themselves with Qin state solidifying their influence in the North of Vern.
The central governnt is crumbling and the trust of the people had been lost. Because of the Blood Brotherhood charge is taken up by the peasants and people of Eastian descent, the other Eastian populated land and Eastian Lord has seceded themselves from the central governnt creating their own region.
Shuguo state has swallowed Minguo state. The Austen forces march to Zicheng and have managed to conquer the surrounding area. I enclosed to you the report of the battle.
Arial read the report of the battle
BATTLE REPORT OF ZICHENG
Lord Nigel Austen threw an attack against the walls imdiately upon his arrival but it was easily beaten back.
Frontal assault we have decided would not be the way in to the city. That convinced Lord Nigel that a frontal assault was indeed futile, after being advised his brothers and sisters.
So he began digging trenches to prevent any breakout from the city. For the next several weeks, little happened, as is the nature of many sieges.
More bad luck befell the Austen during the winter. It was much colder than usual during the winter and snow lay on the ground for many weeks and the reinforcent for Chongyang is arriving.
Delays in the delivery of supplies from Shanhai Pass, coupled with the bad weather, ant the deaths of thousands of besieging soldiers.
The Austen forces had planned to take the initiative in the spring with the arrival of new reinforcents.
That cut off the flow of supplies and would eventually have spelled the city's doom. Then the governor of that region surrendered after the starvation set in.
End of report
Sincerely Your Servant
Zhang Liao Bao

Arial put down the letter and then he looks at the table and see there is many more reports that he did not yet read. To think so many things have happened in those two months.
He took another letter and skip right to the contents
From: Supervisor of the North, Zhang Liao Bao.
To: The Great Lord of Arrandy, Lord Arial Vermont
Qi lords have attacked Lord Theon region and Erjing took this opportunity to take advantage of Lord Theon unpreparedness by also attacking them.
Lord Theon, which is one of the Caelum lords is overwheld with the attack and retreat back to Chongyang while Qi soldier conquers Theon region and drive out Erjing. Next after their successful attack, Qi ambushed Erjing camp and killed their governor. Taiguo state took this chance to conquer Erjing as they are in disarray. The Han in the South conquers Yang and Xiguo. Wei in the North conquers Xixia. House of Chu with the help of Blood Brotherhood conquer Lexandria, their leaders retreat back to the capital. Austen who rules the Taiguo region conquers the weak Shenguo. For now, this is how things stand

Arial set the reports down. To think the Blood Brotherhood can cause this much chaos. This ans the central governnt has truly lost their rein over the states.
Then this next report will absolutely tell him that the collapse of the central governnt to control them and the Vern Empire is now divided into city states.
Arial open the report and his suspicion is rewarded.
From: Supervisor of the North, Zhang Liao Bao.
To: The Great Lord of Arrandy, Lord Arial Vermont
The seven states declared independence from the central governnt ruling and styling themselves as King. The rescue effort, my second mission has begun. Any progress will be told in the next letter I will send you, my lord

Quickly Arial take the next letter and open it.
From: Supervisor of the North, Zhang Liao Bao.
To: The Great Lord of Arrandy, Lord Arial Vermont
After great pains and tribulation, I have managed to sneak into the Imperial Palace and we have managed to rescue the Princess. About three thousand troops died that night, as I have to sacrifice them to confuse the palace guard. By now, she will arrive in another week to Arrandy. With this I asked my lord to send so reinforcent to Taiguo. The Seven states are wary against each other. For my lord information, here I list the seven states. Shuguo, Taiguo (ruled by the Austen family), Qi, Han, Wei, Chu (House of Chu), Qin and the central governnt Chongyang.
Sincerely Your Servant
Zhang Liao Bao

With this Arial set the letter down and he laughed a bit. The Princess is saved. She is alive and the joy Arial felt is indescribable. This ans the Invasion will probably not even happen.
The whole reason that the Demon King invade the Human Continent is because the death of his Queen.
Now, the Princess is still alive. Even Arial was shocked with this revelation. He thought that the Princess had long died inside that palace.
Who would know that this ti so many things have change from the original events that is supposed to happen?
Nonetheless, it is a good change.
Now, it is his turns to fulfil his part of the deal. He imdiately sent letter to his soldiers in the borders of Vern.
He sent the letters to the general at the border to send another five thousand troops to aid the Chu ongoing effort and for them to storm the capital.
Surely even if Azrael has her bride returned ho safely, he could not stand still knowing that the man who tries to do harm to her fianc is safe.
Thus, he needs to make sure all things are tied nicely and wrapped beautifully.
Arial also send another pigeon letter and ordered Zhang Liao Bao to bribe any officials in the Capital to cooperate in the rebelling efforts.
The Vern Empire is on the brink of collapse. And no one likes to be standing on top of a sinking ship
Arial could predict it. This is the wind of change he is waiting for.
March to the Capital and surely the other lords would bend their knees to anyone who storm it. The seven states could not last long divided.
They need a central governnt and Chongyang knows that.
So, if Arial can't change their dependence to the central governnt then he just has to change the man controlling the central governnt.
Now that the Princess is alive the Emperor have nothing more for him to fear. Arial would have gone there myself if not for Harald in the Southern border.
Arial also need help in this matters.
Arial did not know but the him right now, in the eyes of the lords in the House Council, is truly like a great ruler.
With his orders he could move the continent and decided matters a thousand miles away
Arial did not know the thoughts of his courtiers and officials as he asks for ink.
He then writes a letter to King Adrian asking him for so reinforcent to help Chu effort in Vern.
Arial hope the King would reply to his letter with the most urgency.
