Uxhall, compared to any city on the mainland, is very special. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoFirst of all, the city is built on a high cliff in a branch of the Rhodok mountains, which can be said to be the highest city in the whole of Swadia, and the city is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and the wide Ye River is under the high cliffs.

And if anyone wanted to attack Uxhall from land, they had to go from east to west, desperately attacking the tall walls. The shrewd Ryordians had already cut down a large area of nearby woods, so the soldiers would be completely exposed to the fire of the walls on their backs, shedding their last drop of blood before approaching the walls.

Well, since I can't take this fortress head-on, then I can't besiege it without attacking it, until the city is exhausted of food and grass, and finally has to surrender. When it comes to a town that is difficult to attack, almost all commanders will choose it this way, but it also means that the city's designers know it. As a result, a tunnel was opened in the city, linking the city directly from the city on the cliff to a shoal below the cliff, so that a steady stream of supplies could be transported unhindered through the Ye River to Uxhall. And this shoal eventually developed into a fishing village called Yerui Pavilion. In the ancient Ruerdian language, which is the predecessor of the current Dalu lingua franca, it means that the people favored by the Ye River.

That's why the city has always been a thorn in the side of the Rhodocs. If they want to attack north, they must conquer this fortress, otherwise their logistical transportation routes will not be guaranteed. However, since independence, Swadia and Rhodok have fought countless battles around Uxhall, large and small, but the city has never fallen for any reason, and instead buried countless Rhodok souls.

Speaking of Uxhall, its establishment really has to be mentioned, and to talk about it, it has to go back to the middle of the Karad Empire, during the reign of Salazar IV. Salazar IV's father, Emperor Klinning II, died of illness when he was only fourteen years old, not even an adult. So, his uncle, Prince Viruga, couldn't help but be moved. However, the young Salazar IV showed extraordinary political ability, fighting his uncle in the cabinet and eventually banishing him into the Rhodoc mountains. Of course, the name is naturally pension. In order to be able to completely control his uncle, he built the largest and most luxurious "prison" on the entire continent at the exit of the mountains, yes, it is Viruga, now the city of brocade.

However, Veruga is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, even in this city full of all kinds of luxuries, he still does not change his original intention, preparing for his own rebellion, and fighting with the little emperor in various open and secret battles, which is inseparable. Unfortunately, Salazar IV was not a lucky man, and he was not able to escape the pursuit of death in the end, and before he could realize his ambition, he died of illness in Suno, and when he died, he was not yet forty years old.

During his lifetime, the emperor had two sons and three women and five heirs. Among them, the eldest son loves military martial arts, and at a young age he has become a general who can command the army in the empire. The second son is more eager for wisdom and knowledge, and has even been able to help his father deal with some government affairs. Compared with the two outstanding brothers, the three princesses seem a bit general. The eldest daughter was married to one of his vassals early, the second daughter was studying history with the court lecturer, and the third daughter was even more unremarkable, because she was the product of a night of love between Salazar IV and a maid, even if she had the title of princess, no one looked at her at all. And she, who is usually submissive, didn't even dare to say anything when some guards and handymen bullied her.

And this time, Salazar was the place where he suddenly became ill, and then he remained unconscious until he died and did not leave a will. The inheritance law of the Kalad Empire is primogeniture, so after hearing the news, the eldest prince stationed outside immediately returned to Suno, preparing to inherit the throne.

However, when he and his men entered the palace, they were immediately controlled by the guards who were lying in ambush behind the curtain, and then the second prince swaggered out with his own men, read a confession from a suspected assassin attendant on the spot, and then announced that the eldest prince was guilty of assassinating his father, and then guillotined him without giving him any chance to defend himself. Then he put on the crown himself and declared his succession to the throne.

This move immediately caused an uproar in the palace and the cabinet, and the entire court meeting was basically a verbal criticism of the second prince and a refusal to recognize his monarchy. Even if all of Su Nuo's army had already been controlled by the second prince, due to the intertwined power of the nobles, he did not dare to attack those ministers. As a result, those ministers became even more arrogant.

The fourth princess, who was inspired to become a scholar, naturally quickly learned about this matter, and with a sense of justice, she immediately found her brother, and then tried to use her accumulated knowledge and eloquence to persuade the prince who had gone astray. Unfortunately, the second prince was on fire at that time, and when he saw his sister also coming to talk crookedly to him, he immediately lost his mind in anger, and when he came back to his senses because of the exclamations of the guards and attendants, his sword had pierced his sister's heart, and the princess's blood was spilled all over the ground, until the moment she died, her eyes were still angry, sad and incredulous.

The second prince regretted it, but of course, he knew what the consequences of such a thing would be. Although the accusations and incriminating evidence of his unjustly killing his brother were all forged, after all, there were reasons to exculpate them, and some ministers who supported him still had the opportunity to refute them. But now, with so many guards and so many attendants around, in full view of everyone, it is simply conclusive evidence.

In desperation, he couldn't help but be angry, took advantage of the night, surrounded his third sister's mansion with soldiers, and then killed her family from top to bottom. His intentions were obvious, the other direct heirs were all dead, and even if the ministers were unwilling, they had to recognize his status as emperor.

However, when he reconvened his ministers to prepare for the official coronation, he was still met with strong opposition. He then remembered that he also had the youngest sister, the little bastard who barely existed. At the same time, it dawned on him that he finally understood what these ministers were thinking. The emperor is newly mourned, but the precious thing is that there is no will, so in order to seize greater power, the ministers naturally hope that a "well-behaved" emperor will take the throne. And themselves, the ambition they showed made them feel terrified. Otherwise, no one would have put that "mongrel" on the throne anyway. If he hadn't done it to his brother, according to the inheritance system, these subordinates would not have had this opportunity, but it's a pity... However, it is too late to say anything, for the sake of the emperor's throne, he has already made a big mistake, and it is impossible to turn back.

So, he hastily ended the court meeting, and repeated his old trick, blocking his last sister in her own room. Just as he was smug at the little woman's horrified expression, his most trusted chief of the guard plunged his sword into his vest. Overwhelmed by the sudden change, the second prince watched as his sister lost her usual submissive expression and became arrogant and confident, while the chief of the guard saluted her with a group of guards and honored her as "Her Majesty".

It was only then that the second prince realized that his guards had long been unknowingly bribed by this princess who had no sense of existence, and she must have been in contact with those courtiers outside. Otherwise, it would be impossible for those bastards who saw the wind and steered the rudder to immediately push the fifth princess to the fore without even discussing after he killed the three princesses.

However, it was too late, and when he realized how terrible this young girl's scheming was, he only had his last breath left.

Thus, the fifth princess of Salazar IV, the tyrant known as the "Queen of the Wolf's Heart" in later generations, Mary Berne St. Carradiria, officially appeared on the stage of history.

Naturally, this weather-beaten princess would not have a good impression of her vassals, but in order to dispel the vigilance of the ministers, she also had to be like a marionette and let them fiddle with it. Until, she found an opportunity, secretly released the imprisoned prince's cronies, and got in touch with the nobles who guarded other cities, and after an agreement, the power of the eldest prince, which had been scattered, was immediately reunited under her hands.

The eldest prince himself joined the army, so most of the forces under his command were generals who commanded the army, in other words, the force was very strong, so strong that the second prince, who controlled the entire guard, did not even dare to fight him head-on, and could only trap him by tricks. And this force is now pinned on the name of Mary Bernie. Soon, the newly appointed empress began to reveal her ambitions.

A month later, the nobles who were guarding the town led their armies back to the capital of Suno, to participate in the empress's enthronement celebrations, and after the celebrations, they not only did not leave, but took control of the mansions of all the nobles in Suno, and then killed all the ministers who refused to obey the empress's orders, including their associated backers. The Guards, thinking that they could not defeat the coalition of nobles guarding the Quartet, had to protect themselves, not only to cut off relations with the nobles who supported them, but even to help the empress suppress the assassinations and riots launched by those nobles who refused to give up. The incident came to an end in just one night, and as a result, the nobles above the earl of Sunori were basically dead, and most of the barons were purged. This is the famous event in the history of Kallad, "Night of the Long Knife".

Of course, although this method is bloody and brutal, the results are also obvious. This move broke the bureaucratic and aristocratic system that had always been entrenched in the Karad Empire, and after that, Her Majesty the Empress promoted talented young nobles from all over the country, which gave the entire bureaucratic system a new look, greatly improved the efficiency of the work, and at the same time, also allowed the Karad Empire to achieve unprecedented unity.

This paragraph is crossed, the focus of the exam, and it is a must.

In short, when the petite empress with a soft and glutinous accent ascended the throne again, no one dared to underestimate this scheming woman. When Her Majesty the Empress, who had reorganized the court, was finally able to really handle government affairs, she found that Rhodok's side was already in a mess. The grandfather prince who is in his sixties and still has a thief's heart is actually quite climatic, and he has a self-respecting army in Viruga, and he has the intention of uniting several lords in the Rhodoc mountains to rebel against the empire.

The decisive Empress immediately ordered the construction of a defensive line of fortresses and castles on both sides of the Ye River to defend against the possible attack of Viruga at any moment. At the same time, the troops of the nobles were gathered and camped along the river. First, to defend against the attacks of the rebels, and secondly, to act as an overseer, to supervise the construction of the city. This is also the origin of Uxhall, Wincordburg and now Hallingosburg.

As the situation deteriorated, Veruga finally bared his fangs and, surrounded by Lord Rhodok, proclaimed himself emperor in the city of Veruga, accusing the current Empress Mary of Calradia of being of impropriety, ruthless and bloody, and unworthy of the throne. At the same time, he marched east out of Viruga and marched towards the province of Swadia.

However, the old man really underestimated the strength of the Empire, and as soon as the Rhodoks left the forest, they would be immediately spotted by the light cavalry, and then they would be staggered by the heavy cavalry. At this time, the disadvantage of not being able to raise horses in the Rhodoc area was undoubtedly exposed, and they could not win, but they could not escape. After several unsuccessful charges, the heavily defeated Viruga had to lead his army back into the forest, where he built a castle in the middle of the forest, intending to confront the regular army of Karad for a long time. This castle is the castle of Agorlon, which was fought over and over again almost every time Rhodok and Swadia went to war.

However, there are always surprises in this world. As has been said a long time ago, Salazar IV's luxuries did not crush Viruja's ambitions, but they succeeded in corrupting the people of Rhodok. Naturally, among these people are those lords. Before, those short-sighted lords were fooled by Viruga and felt that the odds were great, so they went up in waves, only to be beaten and fled back. At this time, Wiruga said that he wanted to engage in some kind of strategic stalemate and armed separation, saying that he could win in this way. But those aristocrats would not believe such nonsense because of the lessons of the past. So, under the strategy of the scheming empress and a group of black-bellied ministers, these lords shamefully coaxed. They found an opportunity to stab Viruga in the back, then cut off his head and presented it to the queen to beg for forgiveness.

So, a generation of heroes Viruga died in such a way. This is really providential
