Raydor Holy Sword War Journal
204. Fool's March
Using Raydor's absence, some aristocrats marched in.
At the centre of the rebellion is the Count of Lourdes-Reeuilles, who has a territory north of the capital.
Revere thrust his fists toward the people gathered in the town square.
"Now is the time for us to regain our glory!" Defeat the King Raydor and take back His Majesty Granado! "

Rebellion mastermind - In the words of Count Revere, a gathered crowd pushes their weapons into the sky.
The people were gathered in a regional city north of the capital city. Fortunately, the city where the Earls of Revere ruled for generations was relatively lightly damaged by the previous earthquake, and many of its buildings and walls were not destroyed.
That's why we were able to gather and bee all over the kingdom in the chaos of the earthquake.
A blonde man in his late thirties stands in front of soldiers gathered in the square and speaks. Ludo Leeuwille was a man who had just inherited the Count of Leeuwille a few months earlier and had earned the title of Count.
His predecessor, after Raydor's purges of the nobility, gave up his title and went into hiding. Although the former Earl of Revere was spared because he had not dyed his hands in a great wrongdoing, he saw that a large number of aristocrats had been purged, and his liver was crushed and he ran away from the status of an aristocrat.
I entrusted all the rest to my real son and put him in an elegant hiding place... but it caused an incident where his son didn't even fly.
"Reydall, King of the Oceans, is playing with the kingdom as he thinks he is, keeping his king, His Majesty Granado, in complete seclusion!" This has killed many innocent nobles (...) and brought chaos to the people! The previous earthquake must have seen the foolish King's younger brother and the Heavens must have judged him! Now is the time to bring peace to the Kingdom of Zayn by defeating the King of Zayn! "

A rehearsal where you stand in front of people and give a speech. Surprisingly, there were not many people who supported the man.
Most of the people here are survivors and ministers of the nobility whose titles were taken by the solemnity of Raydor. They are also residents of surrounding towns who have been devoured by the damage caused by the earthquake.
The reforms carried out by Raydor had disposed of a large part of the nobility who had illegally dyed their hands. Those who were heavily wronged are executed, and those who were lesser are confiscated of their titles and territories.
This led to the annihilation of the politically corrupted noblemen... but those who escaped the punishment were making Raydor resent them and offering them a chance to take revenge.
Residents other than aristocrats were the victims of the earthquake. Those who were danced by the reputation damage that the earthquake was caused by Raydor.
Not everyone seriously believes that the earthquake was brought about by divine punishment. However, people who suffer from hunger and poverty end up suffering things that are impossible in normal times.
The same is true of the emergence of new religions in times of war and chaos, which can cause chaos in the world.
It doesn't matter to them if what the Count of Revere says is true. It doesn't matter if there is something that frustrates the subject, or if there is something that frustrates anger or dissatisfaction.
A distorted group mentality. I want to blame someone for the misfortune we're facing. I don't want to admit it... because many people shared similar feelings to such distress, I blindly believed that the wrong direction was justice.
"From now on, we will invade the King's capital, and first of all we will give Sven Arbeil a blood festival." And I will save His Majesty Prince Strauss, King of Granado, who was captured by the Royal Palace! "
Oops!
"Let's do it! Take the money, take the food!"
"Death to a false hero! Give judgment to the foolish tyrant!”
"Rescue King Granado! Death to the usurper!"
In a sense... a man named Lourdes Revere is a talented elf. At the very least, he possessed the qualities of a demagogue, a demagogue who fomented popular discontent and fought in battle.
If we hadn't used that talent in the wrong direction, we might have gained a high position as a single power. I might have been able to climb up to one of Raydor's subordinates.
"Fight for Reidor, the king of kings!" We will restore peace to the kingdom of Zayn with our hands! "
But... Revere has chosen a hostile path instead of accepting Raidol as his new king. That will greatly determine the outcome of the man's journey.
(Giggle... how easy it is to deal with a foolish people! It's a free pawn to keep up the cheek!)
Looking down at the people who were going to heat up, Revere smiled in his heart.
For Revere, the folk grass gathered in the speech is neither a companion nor a subordinate. It was a wall of flesh to control the depletion of the main force - the "Dead Soldier".
From now on, Revere drives the people to the capital as soldiers. I don't expect them to be able to drop it. It was enough to cut down the knights and soldiers who were absent.
(Raidol Zain, the owner of the Holy Sword, is on an expedition to the west. There were only a thousand Svens and soldiers defending the King's City. It's impossible for gesture soldiers alone, but if you put your elite into the exhaustion of a foolish crowd, it won't be difficult to defeat the King's City! And if you take the other aristocrats who are afraid of Raydor and hide behind them, you will no longer be defeated!)
Revere's strength analysis is not so off-putting.
Revere gathered two thousand soldiers directly under his command. Three thousand people gathered together. Given that there are fewer than a thousand soldiers left to defend the capital, the chances of victory are good.
Raydor's main strength was his vigilance and handling of the Undead. The Knights, scattered throughout the region in the aftermath of the earthquake, would be able to destroy each of them if they pooled the power of the aristocrats who were dissatisfied with Raydor.
If there is a computational difference, it is that Revere does not know the Holy Sword.
Revere underestimated the ability of the Holy Sword Keeper. No matter how strong, the place is just an individual. If I crushed it with a few forces, that's all - that's how I thought about it.
I heard that a large number of soldiers were blown up in a single blow at the Brain Fortress, but I didn't realize that the rumors only increased.
If I had seen the battle of the Holy Sword Keeper with my own eyes once, I would not have called in a detour.
And... most of all, the computational difference was that it disdained the presence of the fearsome Guardian who was protecting Sven Arbeil, who was defending the King's City.
A child who has only gained a nearby seat by the prestige of the Earl of Arbeil. Around Sven, who was so despised, there was a terrible ghost who was always protecting him.
Angelica Ilkas.
Revere had not yet noticed the approaching fangs of the angry demon god called the [Princess of the Dolphin's Massacre].
