Chapter 507: Southern Will Federation
The Cordillera climate in early summer is pleasant and pleasant, and the warm air blowing in from the east makes you realize that summer has arrived. Mandi Gaza City, the capital of the Cordillera, has nearly tripled its population humor three years ago, and the vibrancy can be threatened everywhere...... But it is undeniable that behind this prosperity, there is a faint mixture of restlessness and restlessness.
Hathaway's legs were lightly clamped, and the white unicorn king under her crotch suddenly swooped forward, making her a little uncomfortable with the long-term ride, and a group of foxhounds had already galloped out, forming a semi-arc along the gentle hillside to enclose up, the bushes here were verdant, and the small trees were also bathed in the sun to show their limbs, it was a good place for small beasts and birds to hide, and it was worth looking forward to enjoying such a sunny morning.
The arrow that flashed with cold light lightly hit the maple finch that fluttered and flew up, Hathaway was quite satisfied, although this safari only caught a few maple finches and wild hares, but it was better than nothing, the fun of hunting is not only to harvest, but to enjoy the process of hunting, not to mention that it is too close to the town, there is not much prey in the first place...... Even if there were, it was hunted by nearby hunters, and Hathaway never issued a notice prohibiting hunting.
It has been nearly two months since Hathaway returned to the Cordillera, during which time the situation in the empire has changed dramatically, and as Hathaway expected, the Golden Olive Legion, which had lost the backing of the court mage regiment, was not able to bear the heavy trust of the people, and Heidelberg only held out for five days before falling, and the Golden Olive Legion was defeated like the Holy Cross Legion. And the well-preserved Tiejing Corps could only retreat to the northeast in the face of encirclement.
Surprisingly, however, the rebels did not seem to have any intention of pursuing the royal family or the Imperial army, but on the contrary they behaved with great restraint, except for confiscating the few remaining coffers of the Empire, and only looting the nobles who refused to obey them, and then expelling them from Heidelberg, while leaving the door open to those nobles who recognized their status, almost without committing any crimes; For ordinary civilians, the same is not offended. This has had a good effect on the stability of the situation inside and outside Heidelberg.
With the fall of Heidelberg. The entire central province has been officially established except for the north, and the Confederation of Southern Will has been officially proclaimed in Heidelberg, although it is still not recognized by any country, but it is difficult to say how it will develop in the future.
The Southern Will Gang is made up of three principalities. And the Bell family is one of those principalities. The other two principalities also belonged to two large families with a long history in the south. It's just that their brilliance is overshadowed by the Bell family.
The fall of the central part of the Odiga Empire brought the region into one with the rebel-held south, and although the rebels adopted a relatively conciliatory policy, refugees from the northern part of the central province continued to flood north. As long as there are some ways to get out of the orc-occupied area, no one wants to be that so-called second-class citizen and cry out for the rebels.
Although the establishment of the Southern Will Confederation has not been recognized by any country, in fact it has inserted its power deep into the hinterland of the Otiga Empire, especially with Heidelberg as the capital, which directly questioned the legitimacy of the existence of the Ostiga Empire, and throughout the spring, the Empire was shrouded in a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere, and his neighbors also observed the direction of things with various complicated eyes.
However, these changes did not attract the attention of the Odida Empire, at the moment Dietrich and Caesar are still keen on the legitimate succession competition, the nobles of the Ortiga Empire seem to be still counting on the rebels to fall apart soon, counting on the rebels to collapse in the fierce counteroffensive of the imperial army after a hot summer, but Hathaway has a hunch, only afraid that this Southern Will Confederation will not die with the will of those nobles.
Although he received the nominal support of the great nobles and several great lords, Caesar lost the throne that he had at his fingertips because of the failure of the royal court ruling, and lost Heidelberg, the most important base, and Pierceburg could only be used as a temporary political center. But it was the main force to defend against the rebels' resurgence, and Caesar never expected or dared to think of using it.
Dietrich's situation was not much better than that of Caesar, although with the support of the small and medium-sized nobles and merchants, Dietrich was much more financially well-off, but without the support of the big nobles, he always seemed to be under-confidence, and his voice was much smaller.
Although the small and medium-sized nobles tried their best to support Dietrich, but in the face of the strong pressure of the rebels, the small and medium-sized nobles paid more attention to how to ensure that the northwest regions were not threatened by the rebels, and they could not form a decent armed force for a while due to the lack of private troops.
But for Hathaway, perhaps the situation couldn't have been better.
The fall of Heidelberg certainly made her first hard work go to waste, but it was not without benefits, the power of the Natural Church in the Ortiga Empire was also greatly weakened, a large number of refugees were exiled to the north, and the attention of the Natural Church was shifted to the actions of the rebels, which would inevitably affect the attention of the Natural Church to the Cordillera Territory, and she could take advantage of the current chaos to arrange her next plan with peace of mind
The good news is that the court mage regiment was withdrawn from the province of Castle at the first time, and Pierce Fort became their temporary station, and after the Grand Duke of Casif lost the strong support of the court mage regiment, his plan to go north could only be postponed indefinitely, especially in the face of the threat that the rebels may make a big move at any time, and it seems a little inappropriate to stubbornly insist on the conquest of the Cordillera Territory.
Looking at the far south, Hathaway couldn't help but sigh softly. Everything doesn't seem to be off the rails, and everything is slowly moving according to his own vision, and the confrontation between Dietrich and Caesar seems to be in his favor for now, at least it can make Dietrich rely on himself.
Perhaps more conditions should be demanded from Dietrich...... However, in Hathaway's view, Dietrich does not seem to be able to give substantial help at the moment, except for some nominal things. However, several nobles suggested marriage...... Well, if these guys weren't targeting Hathaway, she might have thought about it. But listen to what these guys are going to do. She's going to blow up!
Just that guy who is determined to be talented?
Even if you let her listen to politics, you don't want to attract her!
The final result was that she invited the daughters of those nobles to the lord's mansion and went on a blind date with great fanfare. For those who already have lovers. It is also with the idea of breaking up a pair and counting a pair...... Then the nobles all knelt en masse. Don't dare to mention that stubble anymore.
Dietrich was indeed sad, but things were often so unpredictable, as he approached that position step by step. The sudden death of the old emperor and the rebellion to the north have made this dream come to naught, and the throne seems to float between him and Caesar, seemingly very close, but when you stretch out your hand, you find that it is always a little out of reach. Seeing this result, Hathaway was also drunk.
Cecia. Hughes's information came very accurately, and the digestion ability of the Southern Will Federation was really good, not only receiving the cities in the southern region of the central province of the empire one by one, but also recruiting defeated troops on a large scale, which was a bit cold.
The rebels are very smart, although they do not carry out the killing, they squeeze all the uncontrollable factors out of the confines of the Federation, and the large number of civilians left behind, with a little favor, can easily buy the hearts and minds of the people, and this is exactly what the rebels want to do...... For the majority of civilians, home and country ...... They don't care who the ruler is.
The great lords would soon realize that their support and assistance to the rebels would be the most short-sighted act of shooting themselves in the foot, and that the natural church's policy of dividing the empire would also reap the consequences, and the southern aristocracy would be less easily changed by foreign ideologies than the northern aristocracy. The prestige of the Church of Nature in the South, like the central power of the Ortiga Empire, has been declining again and again. What they need to think about now is how to undo the effects, especially among the disgruntled refugees, who might otherwise be easily taken over by other sects.
Of course, none of this is Hathaway's primary concern.
The news from the Cordillera intelligence system has made a shocking discovery, that is, in the Raid and the Battle of Heidelberg, the rebels have an unprecedented class of troops - the Magician!
It was not one or two high-level magicians, but a group of magicians, and it was precisely because of the continuous attacks of this group of magicians that the mage towers in Heidelberg City were unable to counterattack, and the Golden Olive Corps was defeated on a large scale, and the city was finally captured...... Well, some people may ask, why didn't the saint-level powerhouses in the Ostega Empire make a move.
The reason for this is very simple, because the enemy did not dispatch the Holy Rank powerhouse...... There may be other perpetual calendars, but if you don't make a move, you don't make a move, and the Saint-level powerhouse doesn't need to explain it to ordinary people at all. It is also said that the Holy Rank powerhouse in Heidelberg once released his breath that day, but was forced back by the breath of another Saint Order powerhouse coming from the rebel camp.
There are so many rumors about the Holy Order powerhouse, and Hathaway was shocked not by the fall of Heidelberg or the attack of the Holy Order powerhouse, but by the Wizard Corps who were shocked by the rebels. This made Hathaway feel a little nervous, now the magic power is to some extent the Cordillera's shortcoming, although the green elf mage, the barbarian sacrifice and the abyss elf sacrifice can all be used by Hathaway, but in the end, it is not Hathaway's own cronies, although the base has already increased the training of mage apprentices, but that is not something that can be done for a while. Especially the power of high-level mages, which is the accumulation of time, cannot be achieved quickly.
Hathaway had her own plans, otherwise she wouldn't have argued with those big lords, not even the Church of Nature. But the difficulty of planning and implementation is different, it is not a last resort, she does not want to be short-handed, time is the most important thing for her.
However, Hathaway believes that the most shocking and worrying of these problems will be the major lords and the Church of Nature, who first tempted the rebels with advanced weapons to make them act according to their intentions, so as to satisfy their selfish desires, but now that the ambitions of the rebels are fully inflated and are not under their control at all, this kind of impact is believed to make the Great Lords and the rotten guys of the Church of Nature tremble.
Rebels...... Oh, it should be called the 'Southern Will Federation' now, and they will first face the suppression of the Natural Church, but since they dare to show this strength, it means that they must have nothing to fear, and the Natural Church now has to focus on the huge pressure brought by the Southern Will Federation, otherwise their foundation, the entire Northern Kingdom, will be in danger of collapsing, and it will be difficult to explain to their allies.
And this situation is quite beneficial to Hathaway to some extent, at least it can greatly reduce the pressure on the northern lords on the entire Cordillera Territory, and even create opportunities for the development of the Cordillera Territory.
Although the southern part of the Odiga Empire was tossed by the southern will, because the war between the surface and the underground had just ended, most of the participating countries were in the stage of economic recovery, and the Cordillera Territory was rich in grain, stone, ore, weapons and other commodities, all of which had a large market, especially the strong maritime transportation capacity, which brought rolling wealth to the Cordillera, and Hathaway was able to carefully polish the military power of the Cordillera Territory.
I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********

Or don't wear it! One Wear Addiction!
A work mistake by the four gods of Fengyun and thunder and lightning led to the destruction of the body of the fourteen-year-old girl Shen Yueying, and what is even more excessive is that in order to prevent Hades from discovering their work mistakes, these four irresponsible guys actually tricked Moon Shadow into a place called the Amadeus Continent to be reborn.
