North of Fort Andermatt, a contingent of more than 200 infantry, 100 crossbowmen, 50 cavalry, and more than 100 baggage soldiers and miscellaneous servants from two infantry companies crossed the provincial border and entered the territory of Jonah Province, commanded by Angus, deputy commander of the Wells Regiment and commander of the southern garrison.

On the evening of the second day of Balwin's "assassination," Angus, who had been gathering strength in Fort Andermatt for a long time, received an urgent military order from the flying pigeons of Besançon, signed by the military minister of the court of the Marquis of Burgundy, to march to the province of Jonne to maintain stability.

In fact, three hours before receiving the order, Angus had already ordered the cavalry and baggage teams to leave, and by the time the order arrived, the forward team had already set up camp on the border.

Angus led his army north overnight and camped for the night, and by noon the next day the army had reached the southernmost county of Jonah Province.

At this moment, the province of Jonah was not aware of the great changes in the palace that had taken place in the last two days, and the defenders of the county saw the banner of the Wells Legion, only as if they had entered to help defend against the Swabians, who were "ready to invade the border".

Angus was not polite, and immediately after entering the city, he ordered the army to forcibly take over the city defenses and detain the defenders of the county town.

While the hospitable magistrate and garrison commander was amazed, Angus took out the court's military orders and informed him of what had happened in Besançon.

The prestige of the Welsh Legion, not to mention its valiant record in the Battle of the Successors, was enough to terrify the straw bale armies of Jonah Province in the East after a few battles with the Schwabians.

So the inquisitive magistrate finally chose to compromise and surrender to the Welsh Legion.

Angus did not embarrass the people here, he put the county magistrate and several county officials and army commanders under house arrest, and then collected the disarmed county soldiers and took control of the military power.

Later, Angus ordered the Fort Andermatt company to come and take over the county and set it up as a transfer point for supplies and troops.

Just a day later, Angus led his army further north towards the county of Geraru, the Viscount of Hereth.

At the same time, Odo, the deputy commander of the Wells Regiment and the commander of the first division, led an infantry company of more than 100 people, 50 heavy infantry, 50 crossbowmen and half of the cavalry, and a small number of baggage soldiers in more than 40 chariots to the north through the province of Lucesn and then westward to the city of Saône.

At this moment, only a small number of Welsh legion soldiers and some guards of the Earl of Wales Guard in Wales Province urgently moved south to garrison Nanguan Military Fort, and together with the newly subdued mountain people's army, they guarded against the Lombards.

Bass, the commander of the Wells garrison, took over the defense of the entire province of Wales, and in addition to the company of Andermatt, which had already entered the southern tip of the province of Jonah, the company of Tignac (the county soldier) and Felix's company of Sapp were also mobilized and were in a state of combat readiness at any time.

For several years, Bath had been tasked with holding the base, so he was familiar with everything, and it took him less than two days to assemble the 300 standing peasants of the Welsh garrison corps, stationed in the North Pass Military Fort and the Welshburg (Workshop District) under construction, and at the same time sent people to issue a mobilization order to all the unassembled peasants in the entire Welsh province, once the order was given, Bath would assemble a 500-strong peasant army again within half a month.

The battle was so great that almost all the troops in the whole province of Wales were mobilized, but the commander of the army had disappeared a few days earlier......

............

A remote country farm outside Besançon, a common caravan has recently arrived on the once quiet farm.

However, it is not difficult for those who are a little more careful to develop Since the caravan entered, there were suddenly more peasants around the peasants who seemed to wander and wander, but in fact, they always warned the surrounding peasants that these people were wrapped in tattered rag clothes on the outside, but they were covered with light half-body chain mail inside, and the hilt of the sword could be faintly seen at the waist.

In the bedroom on the second floor of the Farm Mansion, Art paced back and forth. His face was gloomy and heavy, and the wine glass he was holding in his hand was not brought to his lips.

Emory, who had sneaked out of Besançon City, was still reporting to Art the information he had gathered.

“...... Now the Earl of Balwyn, his wife and two young sons have been placed under house arrest by the Marquis in the inner court, under heavy guard. All the Earlguard's guards in the palace were also arrested, and all the powerful officials of Balwin's faction were also arrested within two days. ”

"Our Eagle Eye reported that on the evening of the second day after the assassination of Earl Balwin, thirteen nobles and ministers of Balwin's faction were arrested at the same time, and the captors are probably already waiting outside the mansions of those nobles and ministers with court documents~"

"By the time I left the city, eight people had been beheaded. Including ~ including Baron Challis. ”

Art's fingers trembled slightly, "Although Challis is Balwin's henchman, he has made great contributions in the battle of the successor~~ This has not been able to exchange a life?" ”

Emory sighed softly, he knew that of the entire Balwyn faction, Baron Challis was the most friendly with his own lord.

"Maybe the Marquis originally intended to spare his life, but he openly accused the Marquis of persecuting loyal and good ministers, and scolded the Marquis for abandoning his conscience for the sake of the gathering of power~ Baron Charis is too radical, and it just so happens that the Marquis needs a head to kill a hundred people, and I am afraid that there will be people falling in the future."

Hearing this, Art lifted the red wine in his glass and gently poured it on the ground, his mood was extremely complicated.

The cunning rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the rabbit dies and the fox dies...... These things that shouldn't have happened flashed through my mind over and over again.

Pushing the thought out of his mind, Art looked up at Emory, "What's going on in Jonah City?" ”

"Lord Oliver sent back a secret message yesterday evening, and the province of Jonah has received the news, and there is a sensation, and the eldest son of Earl Balwyn has gathered all the troops around the city of Jonah, but has not yet been driven out of the city."

It wasn't that he didn't want to go out of the city, but the five hundred cavalry of the Janissary Legion had arrived five miles outside of Jonah two days earlier and set up camp. The few troops in the city of Jonah were not enough for the cavalry to charge at once. ”

From the moment Flender was determined to get rid of Balwyn, the fate of Balwyn and the entire eastern province of Yona was sealed.

The 1,000 elite infantry of the Palace Guard Legion blockaded the entire national capital Besançon, and the 500 cavalry, together with most of the Welsh Legion that went north to suppress it, basically controlled the lord's private soldiers and county soldiers in Jonah Province.

The western province of Saône had long been infiltrated and controlled by Flender's Midsummer Legion (not part of the palace guard), and Otto marched with more than 200 elites all the way, and those who still had illusions after the battle of the successor must have died down.

Recommended, the book-chasing app I've been using recently, cache to read books, and read aloud offline!

As for Lucesin and Kodor, they had no interest in accompanying Balwyn to his death, and they were silent when the palace guards went to various places with Flender's royal decree to arrest traitors (Balwyn's allies).

Now it is the external forces that can make Flender worried, mainly the Duchy of Burgundy and the Duchy of Swabia.

That's why Flender had to pull Yat into the midst of what was destined to be the Great Purge.

Of course, it is impossible for the business that can make nearly a thousand people under Yat mobilize thousands of people without benefits.

The land of a county in the southern part of the province of Jonah did not suffer as a military expense.

"My lord~ I have another concern that I have to raise with my lord." Emory hesitated.

"Say."

"Lord Marquis's secret chess is all over the Marquis, I'm afraid that our eagle eyes and cobwebs in Besançon City and even the entire Marquis have been seen through by him......"

Art glanced up at Emory.

Emory explained: "We have two shadows ambushed at the palace who disappeared during this operation, but news of them still came out......
