Chapter 244: The Battle of the Collapsed Fort

On the first spring ploughing day after the beginning of spring, several major forces in the north launched a fierce battle, Princess Diana announced the encirclement and suppression of O'Neill's rebel area under the banner of the will of the eldest duke, while the other side, Andy, the Earl of the West, who disappeared from Erdos, officially announced his entry into O'Neill.

The two sides fought a battle in the area of the "Collapsed Fortress" that was considered by many to determine the overlord of the Northlands.

For this sudden war, the sensitive nerves of all forces have been touched.

On Magnolia's side, the new Grand Duke Wes Pars, who strongly advocated the conquest of the North at the Imperial Council, began to preach the benefits of war at this time on various occasions.

However, the six ministers, led by the Imperial Council, tried their best to crusade against the north, and they tried to organize the central government's conquest of the north from the perspective of economic, military, and the intricate violet situation.

In just a few days, Magnolia's originally peaceful situation fell into inexplicable tension, everyone could smell the different smell in the air, in fact, there were many smart people among the nobles, they saw the game between the two groups, these smart people chose to be silent very wisely, and some stupid guys, they are not too stupid, since they can't judge the situation, they follow the trend and be silent.

If Wang Xiaotian knew that the war between Diana and Andy had made Magnolia's atmosphere tense, he would probably be unable to help but laugh at them.

The six wealthy families led by the Francis Wallen family are like ambitious wolves, they have clearly used despicable means to get Weiss to the position of grand duke, but Weiss is not a sheep, after all, he has the blood of the Pars family in his veins.

Being coerced and enticed by the Imperial Council to pass a bill in the Diet is very aggrieved in itself.

Especially Weiss, he first ascended to the position of Grand Duke, and he was full of spirit for a while, but he didn't hesitate for a few days, and he heard that he was going to add a congress to his head, how could he be happy, but the situation was pressing, he could only rely on the six major families, and he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

However, at this time, Diana and Andy are at war, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after all, for Weiss, there is only one Diana in his orthodox name, once Diana is removed, he will be like a loose horse, no matter how much the six families clamp him down, it is impossible to force him to make a decision.

On the surface, the struggle between the royal faction led by Weiss and the wealthy faction led by the six major families is whether the war should be waged or not, but in fact, the key to their problem lies in the struggle for national dominance.

Once the Northern Expedition began.

Diana is cold, Weiss has lost his competitor, he will become the Grand Duke in the orthodox name of the Pars family, and the royalist status of the six major families will be dispensable at that time, although it is possible that the six major families may jump over the wall in a hurry, but several royalists, including the Pars family, are not vegetarians.

And once saddled with the reputation of a "monarchicide".

Even if it is a wealthy family, it will face a great crisis, and "killing the king" is a subversion of the sacred rules in the aristocracy's values with glory as the core, and anyone can condemn and crusade from the perspective of righteousness.

In case there is no Northern Expedition.

After Diana defeats Andy, she is bound to strengthen her rule over the north, and with the north as the boundary, she will become Weiss's biggest enemy, and at this time, the six powerful families will become Weiss's only support.

In ancient China, there is a saying called "raising the self-respect".

The six families just want Diana to become Weis's enemy, so that Weiss can't leave these wealthy families, and after being manipulated by the wealthy families, it will only take a generation, and soon Violet's political system will be inclined to the wealthy families.

The confrontation between the two political blocs is terrible.

Although there was not a trace of swords and swords in sight, the upper nobility of Magnolia still felt a sense of tension, and every day, a large number of scholars, nobles and celebrities constantly took turns to engage in various open and secret battles in public.

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

At the time when Magnolia was inextricably linked.

Northland.

O'Neill is a medium-sized city in the north, a city located in the northern basin, there is no bleakness of early spring, nor the heat of spring ploughing days, there is only a sense of tension in the air.

O'Neill, located on the edge of a trade route in the north, is a famous industrial city that produces a lot of iron ore, and because of its abundance, there are many factories in the city, which are engaged in all kinds of mechanical work.

Workers have always been the largest group of people in the city, miners and woodmen on the tree farms, among others, who make up the cogs at the lowest level of the city.

When O'Neill's rebellion began, O'Neill's garrison also tried to suppress it, but the bloodshed and conflict only intensified the confrontation, many workers were just waving their flags at first, the workers were a group of very simple people, they would not think about desperately if they could have something to eat, in fact, most of them were unlucky people who were coerced in.

In the beginning, the workers did not have the idea of fighting against the aristocracy, but some people with ulterior motives, who stood on the side of the workers, kept escalating the conflict, and when the first bloodshed broke out, everyone was blindly involved.

It's like they're fighting for the sake of fighting, and every worker doesn't know why he's fighting so hard......

When a group of impulsive workers hanged O'Neill's lord at the head of the city, everyone came to their senses.

They killed the nobles!

In any country, it was not permissible for commoners to openly attack and kill nobles, and although none of the workers had read any books, they knew the consequences of doing so.

When the first nobleman was killed, everything was irreparable.

In order to survive, the workers can only completely embark on the road of confrontation with Violet.

Count Andy: He seized this opportunity.

He knew very well that most of the workers had no intention of going down this sword-filled road, but sometimes no one could stop him in the face of the rolling tide, especially Count Andy, who took a fancy to the people of the city.

Tens of thousands of young and strong laborers, they take up arms, and with a little training, they will be an army that can tear everything apart.

With the impetus and help of some forces behind him, Andy successfully took over the city, and the reality is so ironic, he became the owner of a city full of rebellion.

It's like Yangsan.

was supposed to be a rebellion against the government, and in the end he inexplicably embarked on a path to quell the rebellion for the imperial court.

Sometimes the decision of a group is still in the hands of a few.

When Andy succeeded in dealing with the leaders of the workers one by one, he rightfully took control of the city.
