At the end of December, the day before Christ's Mass, the province of the Count of Códor in the southwest of the Count of Burgundy announced its support for the court of Besançon, headed by the Count of Bernard and his son Robert, and declared the Restoration Army a rebel and Flender a traitor who had seized the throne.

On the same day, before the news of Codor's submission to Besançon spread, the province of the Counts of Lucern in the south of Besançon declared their support for the court of Jonah and made Flanders the de jure successor to the Count of Burgundy.

After watching the fire from across the strait for half a year, the four provinces of Burgundy finally fell into a pattern of civil strife.

It is no accident that Kodor and Lucesen belong to each other. The province of Kodor is located in the south of the province of Saône, which has not been as strong as the province of Saône since ancient times, and the Count of Kodor has always been under the pressure of the Count of Saône.

More than a month ago, the city of Besançon was attacked, Bernard took his son Robert from Besançon to the city of Thorne, with the development of the war, the Count of Bernard had a premonition that something was wrong, and he led the prince to condescend to the city of Kodor to meet the Count of Kodor, and then Bernard was back and forth to the province of the Count of Kodor many times.

On the afternoon of the same day that Codor announced his support for the court of Besançon, the prince Robert transferred to the Count of Codor a prosperous city on the southern border of the province of Saône and the fertile lands of the surrounding area for tens of miles in the name of the successor to the Count of Burgundy.

There are many transactions that need not be explained.

The province of Lucesen belongs to Flanders, Lucesen is located in the south of Besançon and adjacent to the province of Jonne, and now Flender is about to capture Besançon, if Lucesen dares to fall to the west, Flender's army will definitely move south to wipe out Lucesn's less than 1,000 troops first, not to mention that the powerful Bishop of Lucesinn has been mediating for the Count of Flanders and the Jonah court.

The Count of Flanders took a group of nobles to Lucesen to meet the Count of Lucesinn in person, and promised to join the three counties and cities of the Saône Province into the Earldom of Lucemern after succeeding to the throne

Lucesin and Kodor's announcement of the reversal provoked a flurry of reactions, with many of the previously neutral realms declaring their support for their respective forces, most of which of course supported the nearest side.

Almost the whole of the Count of Burgundy became a power in the east and west, with the exception of one county, Tignets.

Viscount Pierre still did not choose a side, he was already tired.

The death of the Marquis of Ivrea, Count of Burgundy, hit him hard, and Pierre, who was absolutely loyal to Ivrea, also believed that Ivrea died at the hands of Flanders, and although he did not like Bernard and Bernard's niece, the Marquise of Ivrea, he could not accept the conspiracy of Flanders and Balwyn either.

He had grown tired of the endless intrigues and struggles of the kingdom, and had expected the Marquis of Ivrea to reward him with a decent fief for his attendants for many years, but now it seemed hopeless.

There is no need for nothing, and when the various forces of the entire country are looking for support, Pierre does not move at all.

However, Viscount Pierre's control over Tignats County is weak, a few years ago, Pierre had thought of using the county town and several surrounding directly subordinate manor villages as a base to slowly control the county with a growing county army, but the guy named Atwood Wells suddenly rose up and turned Tignats County into mud, but that guy was an ambitious and ruthless character, and in just a few years, he became a big force.

Because of the existence of Yat, the county of Tignets was still divided, so when Pierre was not moving in the county, the castle fortresses and manor villages in the county of Tignats chose their own sides.

Although Tignets is poor and small, it is a fief directly under Ivrea, and Ivréa has cut this direct fief into dozens of pieces and successively divided them into large and small nobles of the Pal, some of those nobles have become the characters of the Bernard faction, and some have become the backbone of the Balwyn faction.

The choice of the formation of the territories in the county of Tignats is very simple, but they do not defect to the formation with complicated vassal ownership relationships, their criteria for choosing the east or the west are very special The choice of the east border baron and the southern border patrol officer Atwood Wells chose the east border, and this force was led by the Baron Antayas of Fort Andermatt.

Of course, the forces that are hostile to Art choose the West, and this group of people is mainly Baron Bazel, who has become a dry bone, and relatives and old friends of the Dean family. Although after several years of tossing, there are not many lords in Tignats County who have fought against Art and are weak, but those people are still vengeful and trying to win back a game, anyway, even if they don't oppose the East, they can't die well, at least the damned Baron Yat won't let them die well.

These people had already secretly smuggled their relatives and belongings to the west to settle down at the time of neutrality, leaving a small number of "warriors" to resist stubbornly in the face of the enemy

The county of Tignets began to agitate, and various forces began to gather momentum, the strongest of which was Baron Antayas of Andermattburg.

Antaya Spelger, a guy sent to the bitter cold remote frontier.

Andermatt Fort was so far away that many people didn't know the name, and the people were so poor that they couldn't even worry about food and clothing.

However, this was the case with Fort Andermatt a few years ago, and now Fort Andermatt has changed dramatically. Andermatt's territory is small and thin, and it is difficult to support people on the rugged land, but the situation has changed since Baron Antayas took advantage of Atte's southern trade routes.

Today's Andermatt has more than 800 people, Baron Antaas has 65 standing soldiers under his command, and the soldiers and peasants of several knights under his command add up to more than 100 people, such a force can already occupy one side in Tiniez County, but the soldiers under the command of Baron Antayas are not used for combat, only a small number of them are used to defend the territory, and the main task of the rest of the soldiers is to act as a guard for Baron Antaas's caravan to escort southern goods, which is also the main source of salary for the soldiers.

Relying on the huge profits of the southern goods trade, Baron Antayas can save more than 100,000 pfenni every year in addition to supporting the army, maintaining the caravans, and distributing profits to the knight lords under his command. In addition to repairing and fortifying Fort Andermatt, he recruited a large number of displaced people and, following Art's advice, continued to join the caravan and expand its transportation.

Baron Antayas, who had a taste of strength for the first time, paid more and more attention to the relationship with Yate, and he had become the second strongest reinforcement of Yat in Tignats, and this time Yate, who was fighting far east of Yonah, mobilized troops from the south to support the north, and Baron Antayas took the initiative to transport grain and grass for the reinforcements to the north and sent his knight Druid to lead twenty elite soldiers to the north to help the battle.

After Lucesin announced his entry into the Western Army a few days earlier, the increasingly well-informed Baron Antaas also announced his entry into the East, and although he had not yet received an order from Jonah's court, he had already begun to gather his army and plan for war against the Western Army faction in Tiniets.

Of course, Baron Antayas knew who the true ruler of Tignets was, so he had sent a fast horse to the Barony of the Valley to consult with the stewards that Arte had left in the valley, and if he was allowed to, he would personally lead his army to capture the "enemy" territory along the line from Boulder to Fort Andermatt

Andermatt, one of the two forts in Tignets, was only plotting, while Fort Sap, far to the southwest, was already in turmoil.

On the last day of December, the province of Kodor, which had just been annexed to the west, began to move, and they formed an army of 800 men and began to march towards the Midsummer region of the Count of Flanders, and at the same time, the Sap Fort, which had already announced its entry into the east, also became the focus of the Kodor army's attack, and an army formed by the small lords of the neighboring counties of Kodor and some merchants suddenly launched an attack on the border of the Barony of Sapp
