The origin of the matter was that a powerful family of the Ars clan suffered from financial difficulties and imposed an extra tax.
Before the war began, I promised the commoners a tax cut.
It is a temporary taxation just before that.
The commoner got angry at this.
However, it did not imdiately lead to an ard conflict.
At that ti, the commoners also reluctantly paid the tax.
However, after that, the situation suddenly changed.
One of the sons of a powerful family violated a commoner’s daughter.
The daughter was keeping her virginity before her marriage.
That daughter ended up ntally ill and committed suicide.
Naturally, the family and the fiancée protested and a trial against the family started.
However, as a result of the trial, the son of the family is not guilty.
And the depressed family was assaulted by a private army on the way ho.
This news spread to all territories.
The angry commoners united around the soldiers that survived the war.
At the sa ti, an ard uprising occurred.
And it surrounded the mansion of the powerful family.
“What are you doing? Really… By the way, the gentry should have always had a certain number of soldiers… What are they doing?”
“It seems that the soldiers also went to the commoner side, right?”
Hearing Raymond’s report, a sigh leaked from my mouth.
Well, soldiers are also commoners.
Although they love their hotown, their loyalty to the powerful family is suspicious at best.
“What are you going to do? Your Majesty”
“No matter what we do, we have no choice but to suppress it.”
If they only protested, I wouldn’t dispatch the army either.
I would’ve persuaded them one way or another.
However, if you move to violent behavior, the story is different.
Of course, the family is guilty.
However, the commoners who have moved to violent behavior are also guilty.
“Collect the soldiers who are rushing to the road construction imdiately. Head to the site within two days.”
The collected troops number at 3,000.
The regular army I led approached the territory of the powerful family where the rebellion was taking place.
I feel like the soldiers are sohow restless.
“Ron, I hate it that I’m asking you to do sothing dangerous, but… go and tell the rebels that ‘There will be a fair redo of the trial. Disperse at once. Bring the leader of the rebel army. Otherwise, we’ll have to suppress you with ard forces.’”
The soldiers I lead are commoners, and they are also commoners.
I think both sides are at fault, but the commoners don’t think so.
You must be sympathetic to the rebels.
Even if you fight in this situation, you may not always be able to win overwhelmingly.
Rather, there is even a risk of losing.
The people do not want to turn to the enemy.
“I understand. I’ll try to convince them sohow.”
Ron ca back after dark.
As soon as Iar looked at , he shook his head.
“No, I was so excited that I couldn’t talk.”
“Really now…”
There is no way.
Are we going to suppress the rebel forces?
“But… what are they looking for?”
“No… Many of the commoners who make up the rebel army are asking for a redo of the trial. However, the mastermind is excited about sothing… and insists that he will break the politics of the powerful tribes!”
In other words, is there a big difference in thinking between the mastermind and the soldiers?
……
It may be early to think that it will still be an ard conflict.
The next day, I crossed the territory and invaded the rebellious territory.
And at noon of that day, I arrived near the mansion of the powerful family.
From a distance, you can see that the crowd is surrounding the mansion of the tribe.
They were all ard and their armant was no different from the regular army.
After building a simple position on a hill a little further away, I said to the soldiers.
“You know what happened. The bad thing about this is the unequal trials of the tribes, but at the sa ti the ard uprisings are also bad. They should’ve co to before they thought of settling matters by using violence. I don’t like bloodshed. There is no tragedy big enough to kill each other among the sa people. So I told them I’d redo the trial, but they refused. They were excited and turned a deaf ear to … Is there anyone that has relatives or friends in the rebel army? If so, please co forward. Please persuade them. ”
Soldiers started to rustle.
After a while, several n raised their hands.
“My daughter is married here. Maybe her son-in-law is in attendance.”
“My younger brother is adopted as a son-in-law!”
“My friend is from that territory !!”
“My cousin has immigrated!”
I looked around their faces one by one.
“I want to ask you guys. I want you to persuade your friends and relatives. I will make a fair judgnt. As a king, I swear to God and to you. Tell them that I do not want conflict.”
“”””Yes! Your Majesty!””””
It’d be nice if this improves things.
“Roswald, co forward.”
“What is it? Your Majesty.”
“If a battle occurs, the infantry is likely to be useless. In that case, your cavalry will take the lead… If it turns out bad, the cavalry alone will end up fighting the enemy.”
Currently, we are negotiating with the commoners who make up the rebel army, not the mastermind.
They don’t want much.
They just want the trial to be redone.
And I promised to redo the trial.
However, the mastermind seems to have a different idea, so I can’t talk about it.
Then, we negotiate directly with the commoners.
From the mouth of a close person, I think they would trust .
However, there is a possibility that the mastermind still wants to fight.
I have to prepare for the worst.
“When the war starts, the morale of the enemy should be low. I will show you that they can be defeated only by the cavalry. They do not have a commander after all. If we wrap around to the side and flank them, it will be over.”
Rosward says sothing reliable.
He beca better…
It seems to be a lie that a few years ago, he couldn’t handle the provocation of Regal Debell and resulted in more casualties.
“It’s reliable to have personal guards at such tis.”
“We are on your side no matter what… But what is the mastermind planning?”
According to Ron, it was to break through the politics of the powerful tribes. They didn’t say anything about , but I think they want to eliminate in the end too.
However, I am very popular with the commoners.
If you openly identify as an enemy, no one will follow you.
Therefore, it seems that he avoids ntioning as much as possible.
However, what is worriso is…
“Why aren’t you dissolving the rebel army? Either way, when I promised to redo the trial, many rebels would have thought they had served their purpose. Morale should have been greatly depressed. In this state, you can’t even win against an army weaker than yours. ”
They’d just die in vain.
I would’ve given up because the opportunity is bad.
“It’s weird, isn’t it? The timing of the uprising is bad in the first place. They should’ve started the revolt after more dissatisfaction gathered, after gathering more people and started a huge war… Now, not to ntion defeating the royal governnt, they can not even defeat one of the powerful families.”
Two of them are perplexed.
They may fundantally have a different purpose.
“Perhaps… their purpose is causing a large number of casualties?”
“In other words?”
“The mastermind may be from another country. And their purpose is to sow discord between and the commoners…”
If so, this battle is even worse than I thought.
“It seems that this matter needs to be resolved without blood.”
When the sun completely went down, those who went to persuade ca back.
I called them and heard their response.
“How was it?”
“It seed like they were thinking about it. They wanted so ti to think about it…”
It is not possible to maintain a state of civil war forever.
Because it gives a chance for other countries to take advantage of us.
“Okay. We’ll attack at noon tomorrow. I’ll wait for their reply until then.”
I told them so and then let them gather the soldiers.
“I’m going to launch an attack tomorrow at noon. I don’t like bloodshed… but if they want it, there’s no helping it. I’m the king. I have a duty to bring peace to this country, so if it threatens peace, I can’t leave a person alone forever. I won’t forgive him, whether it’s the people of this country, the gentry, or the slaves. However, I will definitely do a fair trial. I promise this. ”
The facial expressions of the soldiers are dark.
However, there are no signs of disturbing or extre decline in morale.
Even if it becos a battle, it seems that they will fight as it is.
Well, it’s okay if you don’t escape in front of the enemy.
Then the Rosward cavalry will destroy it with flanking maneuvers.
Early morning the next day.
I approached the rebels with only a few cavalry, including Rosward.
The equipnt of the rebel army was almost the sa as the regular army…
But their condition was completely different.
They didn’t notice that we were approaching.
Even if they noticed, they couldn’t form a formation, and the formation that was finally assembled was a poor one.
And the encampnt location was also terrible, and it seems that most people are laying on fur and sleeping together in a huddle.
We approached the limit of where bows and arrows and throwing spears could not reach.
“Lulu, Soyon. I entrust this to you two.”
“Yes!”
“Let take care of it.”
The two jointly knit a magical ceremony.
One of the magics developed by Tetra, loudspeaker.
“Rebels! I don’t want bloodshed, but if you guys want bloodshed, I’m not going to forgive you. I’ve said it many tis, and I’ll definitely redo the trial again. I promise. So There is no point for you guys to shed blood! Dissolve imdiately. Also, the rebel mastermind is suspected of communicating with another country. Turn yourself in and explain the circumstances. If you do not disband by noon… I consider you an enemy. You should know that I will not forgive you. ”
The purge of the Debell clan scared many powerful tribes.
And it wasn’t just the gentry who were afraid of . The commoners should be the sa.
Rebel soldiers are becoming noisy.
At the bottom of my heart, I might have thought that they wouldn’t attack .
It seems that they have now noticed the magnitude of their sins.
And the people’s anger is a temporary thing.
As ti passed, it would draw back like the tide.
The daughter was raped, but for most commoners it was soone else’s story.
Even if you get angry temporarily, you will forget that anger over ti and beco calm eventually.
If they do not disband with this, there is no other way but to suppress the rebel forces.
As I said that, I left the place.
There was no contact from the rebels even at noon.
There is no other way.
I just told the soldiers that they would attack as declared, and went out.
Arrange the formation and head for the rebel army.
The rebels were inford of the attack, but they were not ready to intercept.
“Get ready!”
The soldiers held a spear with my command.
It’s a wonderful phalanx.
On the other hand, the rebels were not able to form a formation at all.
“Atta…”
It was when I was about to issue an attack order.
One of the rebels escaped.
Starting with that, the rebels rushed out all at once.
We haven’t even clashed yet, but they have totally collapsed.
“… Do you want to chase?”
“No, it’s good.”
I won by default.
I don’t think they have the morale to rebel again.
“Roswald. You don’t have to kill the rebel soldiers. Catch only the mastermind.”
“Yes, I understand”
Thus, the rebellion had an unbeatable ending.
