Chapter 44: Danone in Chaos

The Kingdom of Danone is located in the southeast of the continent, and its land area is about half the size of Ammusi. However www.biquge.info it has a large population and developed commerce, and its economic and financial resources alone can even be compared to the Holy Light Sect, which is said to have collected all over the continent.

Perhaps because all disputes can be settled with gold, although everyone in the Danone kingdom is in business, it is not good militarily, and it has been more than a hundred years since their last war.

The current king of the Kingdom of Danone is Louis VII. Unlike the other kingdoms, however, Louis had little power. It all started with his great-grandfather, Louis IV.

Louis IV was also an ambitious monarch who dreamed of making the Kingdom of Danone the most powerful country on the continent. Just like Allen today, when Louis IV was developing towards his dreams, it was inevitable to concentrate power and increase royal power. So the king and the nobles went to war, and the end result was that Louis IV was defeated by his rebellion. After the defeat, Louis IV was forced to sign the Charter of the Kingdom of Danone. The power of the king was legally restricted.

By the time it reached Louis VII, more than 100 years had passed. The power of the kingdom gradually fell into the hands of the three dukes.

The three dukes were Henry of the House of Rafao, Kleiman of the House of Beckett, and William of the House of Mann.

Henri Rafao should be familiar with him, he is the father of Queen Ammous, Gloria Rafao. The Duke of Rafao was the most powerful of the three dukes, holding one-half of the territory of the Danone Kingdom, close to the eastern part of the Kingdom of Ammusi.

After Gloria succeeded in ascending to the queen's throne and became the regent of Ammous, the Duke of Rafao became more and more arrogant, and began to suppress the Duke of Becket and the Duke of Mann in all aspects. This also makes the relationship between Rafao and the other two smells of gunpowder.

In the winter of 189 in the Holy Light Calendar, perhaps the Duke of Lafao was too arrogant, or perhaps the Duke of Beckett and the Duke of Mann found that if they did not make any more move, they would encounter a greater crisis. Eventually, Beckett and Mann came to an agreement and became allies. Under the banner of eliminating the Duke of Falao and restoring the legitimacy of the king, he officially started a war with the Duke of Falao.

Although the battle came very suddenly, the Duke of Falao was shown to be panicked, and instead gathered his army to face the coalition army head-on, and it was obvious that the Duke of Falao had been prepared for a long time.

The two sides fought from December 189 to February 190. Thanks to the warm and humid climate of the Kingdom of Danone, the war can be fought in winter. If you move to the Rollin region or the Moslian region, the non-combat attrition caused by the cold alone is enough to destroy an army of 10,000 people.

In fact, if it is only the exclusion of the three families that will not lead to war, the most critical fuse lies in the church.

Back in the summer of 189, after the Pope defeated King Peter of the Dominiz Kingdom and changed the Dominiz Kingdom to the Papal States. The Holy See began to send emissaries everywhere to declare his legitimacy to the other countries of the continent. At the same time, it also conveys a signal of the rise of the church.

And the Kingdom of Danone, which is adjacent to the Papal States, naturally welcomed the emissaries of the Holy See early in the morning.

In fact, it would have been acceptable if the emissaries had simply informed them of the establishment of the Papal States and the fall of King Peter. But the Holy See doesn't know whether it's too confident or too arrogant. He openly declared to Louis VII that henceforth the coronation of kings would require the approval of the Holy See. This directly angered the king and the Duke of Rafao.

The Rafao family is an old-fashioned aristocracy with a centuries-old history. And over the years, an old-school aristocratic style has been formed. For such an arrogant emissary of the Holy See, it was naturally unceremoniously expelled.

Compared with the Rafao family, the Becket family is also a long-standing aristocrat with a history of hundreds of years. But the difference is that the formation of the Beckett family occurred at the time of the rise of the Holy Light Cult, so the entire family has always been a devout member of the Holy Light Cult and has maintained a good relationship with the Holy Light Cult for a long time.

When they saw the expulsion of the papal emissary, they quickly stood up and accused the Falao family of ignoring the liturgy of the papal see, and of destroying Danone's relationship with the Church. In the end, Duke Mann, a merchant and nobleman who united with the shrewd philistines, attacked Farao together, so that the kingdom was suddenly divided into two factions that did not like each other.

This situation did not last long before a civil war broke out.

After Beckett and Mann went to war, things didn't turn out as they thought. Falao was well prepared, not only blocking the sneak attack of the two coalition forces, but also counterattacking back. In just a few months, the situation on the battlefield has tended to be one-sided.

At this point, perhaps finally unable to sit still, the church jumped out again. It was publicly declared that Duke Henry-Falao had violated the teachings of the Light and had held the king hostage in an attempt to usurp the throne. Then he sent the army of the Papal States to unite Becket and Mann against the Faraos.

The sudden attack on the church caused Falao to retreat, and all the advantages he had established earlier were lost.

So the Duke of Farao sent a letter of help to her daughter, Queen Ammusi.

After much consideration, Gloria decided to send troops to help her father fight against the three coalitions.

In short, by March 190 of the Holy Light Calendar, the civil war that had been originally the Kingdom of Danone had developed into a confrontation between the Church and the Kingdom of Ammusi.

A great war is inevitable.

For this result, Alan is naturally happy to hear about it. With the church attracting the attention of the Kingdom of Ambush, Alan can finally put his mind at ease and no longer have to worry about Ambush taking off his duke title on a whim.

Although this is not something that can be decided unilaterally by Ambrosi, more is better than less, isn't it?

So Allen reorganized the troops and organized production. On the one hand, we are trying to quell the damage caused by the rebellion, and on the other hand, we are speeding up the rearmament of the war and preparing for the coming war.

As the days passed, the weather warmed up day by day. The time has finally come to May, and the spring ploughing has basically ended.

This was the time when the war was at its highest. Alan wasn't surprised.

So he took his newly reorganized troops and marched towards the Kingdom of Lorin for the second time in this warm spring day.

And this time, he has the consciousness that if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent.

At the same time, Prince Renard, after seeing off George VI, also gathered a large number of troops and prepared to fight Allen to the death.

Whether it's Alan or Renard, they all know that this war is inevitable, and they are all full of confidence in themselves! (To be continued.) )
