"A coalition of aristocrats of 250,000 for the purpose of conquest of the Fontana family emerged, or? Less than I thought, but what happens..."
Crush so as you look at the parchment on which that information was written at the Mansion of the King's Capital.
Since then, the king's surroundings have led him to be held responsible for the death of his predecessor and discreetly disposed of.
I'm not going to stay like this, but I might need to stay quiet for a while.
Sighing deeply, look again at the information brought to me.
The royal decree issued by King Doren led the army to the north to conquer Fontana.
That number seems to have reached about 250,000.
To be honest, I'd say this is a little less.
The reason is obvious.
Even though the royal family ordered all the aristocrats to crusade Fontana, there were aristocrats who did not send out troops.
The Risorte and Reinzatz families.
Does it mean that the rumors of the example have become more authentic?
The former hegemonic aristocracy and the present largest aristocracy are immobile.
As a result, coalition forces headed north with the Memento family as allies inevitably had to leave their preparations for the two aristocrats to set up in the west and south.
Instead, you just said you could have given me 250,000 a lot.
Sometimes a certain number of them will be large what you get when you conquer the Fontana family.
That's salt, of course.
Salts that differ from those of the royal family, such as the Holy Salt, which the Church has newly launched for sale, are said to be produced in Fontana territory.
The salt, he said, originated in Barca.
It is said that the militant knights, originally from the peasants but who constantly fought ahead in the battles carried out by the Fontana family in recent years, make their salt.
It would be obvious how much that would benefit if the Barca family were taken in at dawn when it was able to attack Fontana territory.
I would therefore have responded to the convocation as a coalition despite the presence of a dangerous presence behind it.
The Fontana family died while our Lord, Lord Carlos, was escorting the king, but for the battle, he is winning a series of battles.
but no matter how many, the Fontana army shouldn't go 50,000.
The manoeuvrable Warcraft unit that assaulted the Percival family is dangerous, but too many are different.
... Perhaps Lord Lion, the knight who worked in the King's Capital, will bring harmony when he sees fit.
Now I've been driven from the center by the king and his surroundings, but if I could move, would that be then?
Mediate harmony through Lord Lion and subordinate the Fontana family to the royal family.
That should bring us back to the center again.
Also worth noting are the trends between the Rheinzatz and Risorte families?
You'll have to take a good look at how those two houses work.
I will be ready to respond immediately to future moves, making sure I do what I have to do.
But what happened?
I still have a bad feeling about it.
"What? What did you just say? Report it again."
"Ha. Coalition forces headed for the Fontana family crusade have begun to fight each other. Many of the noblemen who have joined the coalition have requested rescue from the royal family."
"Such an idiot. The Allied forces should have had the Memento family in command as allies. What is the Memento family doing?"
"That's..., I'm afraid. The Memento army, in response to several other aristocratic armies within the coalition, began invading the aristocratic territories of the north. It seems that the army of aristocrats in the north and other aristocrats associated with it clashed with the Memento side to prevent it, and the coalition was divided into two parts to contend."
"Is that true? I don't know what that means. Rather than, what happened to Fontana? The coalition went on to crusade for Fontana. Isn't the territory of Fontana at the end of your eyes and nose enough to attack the aristocratic territory of the north?"
"That is the uncertain information…. I was just confused when I told him that too."
"I don't mind. You just have to report the information you gather without covering it up."
"Ha. 250,000 coalition troops assembled in the Wang metropolitan area began marching towards Fontana territory. We then proceeded to view the territory of the present Fontana territory in the former Carmus territory. but that's where the coalition encounters a wall on Fontana territory. I think I lost my way."
"... walls? What's that?
"I don't know. That is the report that it is an indisputable wall. The walls seemed to have continued all along the territorial border to protect Fontana. According to the Coalition, which confirmed it, it continues sideways to follow the invasion route to the north."
"... you're unbelievable. Isn't that an illusion? But right. Wall, huh? If that was true, how could it lead to an argument?
"Ha. After confirming the wall, the coalition seems to have chosen a siege battle to cross the wall as a result of consultations. Coalition forces have launched their offensive from the former Carmus territory towards the north. But the offense seems to have failed."
"Are you saying that number of coalitions failed in their offense? No, if there is such a long wall, is the protection strong... But on the defensive line that lasted that long, it doesn't seem like a good place to defend it... What the hell happened?
"All Allied troops' food has been burned. Looks like the coalition is going to lose their food."
Did they burn the food?
... well, I totally forgot.
The battle between the Fontana family and the Memento family, which was before the king's convoy.
But didn't the same thing happen in that fight?
Yeah, I remember that.
At that time, the Fontana army successfully defended itself against an overwhelming majority of Memento troops.
Oh, my God.
Even then, the Memento army stopped the march against 40,000 and Fontana's Barca army 1000 horsemen.
And the tactic I took at that time was to burn the food.
Barca has, a flying mobile weapon.
Weren't we talking about the introduction of something to be an airship?
I was in the city of Fontana at that time, and I never actually saw what would be that airship.
but the Memento family couldn't move after burning a pantry on the ground from that airship that flew through the sky.
Afterwards, although it approached Fontana territory, it was unable to break through its defenses that led to harmony.
Did something that would also be the Memento family get the same hand twice?
Maybe he was too distracted by what would be a long lasting wall.
But there would be no excuse for that. It would be a lapse.
Anyway, when he led 40,000 armies, he also fell prey to food shortages.
That's 250,000 soldiers this time around.
It must be even more difficult to keep the military in action.
"No, wait a minute. Right...... I don't have any army food. In order to eliminate it, it is usually the royal road that plunders from enemy lands. But the Fontana territory, the opponent to be attacked, is protected by the wall. I mean..."
"Exactly. The Memento family, who lost their food, demanded food from the surrounding aristocracy. However, the effects of the earlier major earthquake did not seem to have resulted in a situation in which any aristocratic territory was rich in storage. Although we managed to continue the fighting, it always seemed that Fontana territory took the form of being pushed into temporary retreat without any sign of falling and the coalition could not even enter Fontana"
"Could it have been pursued at that retreat? to the cavalry unit of Fontana."
"As you can guess. Apparently Fontana attacked the Allied forces in the middle of the night with only a handful of cavalry."
"Right. I guess so. Fontana, Barca in particular, should be very good at surprise. Did you even take the head of the class in that ambush?
"No. But Fontana did a great deal with that ambush. It provoked an argument."
"I see. At the retreat from the siege battle, which did not achieve any results, and a coalition of multiple forces with as many as 250,000 human beings at night. I thought you were attacking someone in the dark, and it's no wonder you couldn't tell if it was on your side."
"That's not all. Later reports indicate that Fontana's cavalry went further south after ambushing the retreating coalition. to cook more food."
"... Speaking of which, you said it in the earlier description, right? You think the Mementos have invaded aristocratic territory in the north in coordination with some noble armies within the coalition? What, did that happen in search of food?
"... it seems so. And that's where military control seems to have been disturbed and rampant, and run for looting. That was the decisive hit, and the coalition lost total cohesion. It seems that it has already become difficult to resolve matters solely by the Memento forces on the ground, such as the confrontation within the coalition that we had with each other, the food distribution problem and the rivalry between the noble and coalition forces in the territory that was attacked"
"How stupid. But there's nothing you can do about requesting that rescue from the royal family. Anyway, what I did to crusade the Percival and Fontana families was not my own military dispatch, but rather my mobilization by royal decree."
"Yes, it appears that the royal family that received the rescue request there asked the Reinzatz family to resolve the matter. But the Rheinzatz responded that they would not move unless they officially recognized themselves as a new royal family."
Oh, my God.
I didn't know the coalition the royals made them scream for crusades would even fight each other and attack aristocratic territory outside Fontana.
Besides, when I saw it, the Reinzatz family came out saying they wanted to be kings themselves.
The royal family is too light-hearted.
I couldn't help but think so with the report.
Normally, Fontana herself should bow her head when she sees the movement of the crusaders sent out under royal orders from the royal family.
but I still know that Fontana goes into the action of total resistance because he has already claimed the founding of the kingdom against his royal fate.
However, it cannot be tolerated that the Memento family, who was leading the coalition sent to the crusade, would attack other noble territories without a great name just because the situation had gotten worse.
And I would have to say that the Royal Authority has been more lost than ever at a time when the Rheinzatz family, who ordered the move to be contained, also took advantage of the situation to negotiate themselves with the King, etc.
Because the Rheinzatz family was supposed to have moved as a perfect opportunity to become a hegemonic aristocrat if anything was normal.
...... The era of the Doren royal family is over.
Even though inferior to the days of former glory, to this day the royal family has been recognized by the nobles for certain authority.
But in this case the royal family has shown many that they have no control over the movements of other nobles at all.
Moreover, even the monopoly of salt, which has so far supported the royal authority, has been broken down by the Church.
I had to feel more turbulent times than ever before.
