A week later. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The four small countries in the east of the Yaro Empire, Bandele, Rengui, Ukati, and Dikye really launched a fierce attack on the eastern border of the Yaluo Empire at the same time, and each of the four countries sent 50,000 troops, which is really not much individually, but together it is a full 200,000 troops!

In this war, the Orlando opposition did not send a single soldier, but they had reached an agreement with the four countries in advance, and at the same time as the empire launched an attack on the Yarrow Empire, they would launch an attack on the Orlando capital to prevent Theresia from sending troops to support the Yarrow Empire!

Although the high-ranking officials of the Yarrow Empire had learned of Shikoku's plan three days ago, in a hurry, they couldn't pull up a large army at once. Hearing the news that the four countries were going to attack the empire, Robert was furious, he didn't expect that several small countries that he had not paid attention to would bite him in turn, and bite him so unprepared.

The other party has already entered his own country, but Robert is still worried about who to send to lead the army to resist the enemy soldiers! One of the two major military backbones of the Yarrow Empire, Situ Nan and Chaplin, has been thrown into death row by Robert, and the other has been snubbed by Robert since Robert ascended the throne.

Previously, on the matter of whether to send troops to escort Theresia back to Orlando to inherit the throne, Chaplin knew that Robert didn't want to send his sister back to Orlando, but he still openly raised his support for escorting Theresia back to Orlando

At that time, under the joint pressure of Chaplin and Situ Nan, the two bigwigs in the army, Robert, who had not yet succeeded to the throne, had to make a compromise on this matter, but it was also because of this incident that Robert was extremely dissatisfied with Situ Nan and Chaplin!

Situ Nan didn't mention it for the time being, just talking about Chaplin, since Robert sat on the throne, he was basically put aside by Robert, and said that he had sent troops to Dikye before, and Chaplin, who was originally a three-star general in the mainland, was the best candidate to lead the army, but Robert would rather choose the unidentified Situ Kai, that is, Stralsson Kay, as the leading general, rather than Chaplin!

Because of this incident, Chaplin was secretly depressed and was sick for more than half a month!

Later, Stralsson Kay was on the verge of treason, and many ministers felt that Robert was not clear-minded! But Robert was extremely narrow-minded, and not only did he not reflect on himself because of this incident, but he looked down on Chaplin even more unpleasantly, and even murdered this famous general of the empire!

If it weren't for the fear that Situ Nan had already been moved, if Chaplin was moved again, I was afraid that it would cause shocks from the government and the opposition, and I am afraid that Robert would have already attacked Chaplin!

This time, the four countries came together, and many ministers recommended that Chaplin lead the troops to retreat from the enemy, but the more everyone recommended Chaplin, the more Robert didn't want to use Chaplin! In the end, Robert's selfishness still prevailed, and he chose a new general of the empire named Ghani Bilo as the main general, leading an army of 150,000 to the eastern border of the empire to retreat from the enemy!

This Gani Billo was one of Robert's close ministers after he ascended the throne, and Robert did not want to use any of the generals appointed and trained by the old Emperor Aldrich during the reign of the XXIV!

So as soon as he ascended the throne as emperor, he began to insert some of his cronies into the middle and high ranks of the army, planning to give the middle and high levels of the imperial army a big change.

Although Stralsson Kay's treason dealt a certain blow to Robert, he only regarded it as an accident, and he still had to go on with his original thoughts!

Five days later, when Biloh was the first to rush to the eastern border of the empire with an army of 50,000, the four countries had already captured three cities in the eastern part of the empire!

The arrival of the war caused chaos in the eastern part of the empire, and countless residents who had lived here began to flee to other cities, but when they reached the bottom of those cities, they found that the gates of those cities had been closed to them!

Fearing that the cities under their jurisdiction would cause turmoil due to the arrival of a large number of displaced people, the governors of the cities of the empire ordered the guards of the city gates not to let the displaced people in!

In the eyes of high-ranking figures, the lives of ordinary people are not worth anything at all, so no one in the empire cares about the lives of these outcasts, and now everyone only cares about whether Biloh can lead the army to drive the invading army of the four countries back to their country!

Just when the people who had fled from the eastern part of the empire felt that they had nowhere to go, a news suddenly appeared out of nowhere that the island of Öland in the southern part of the empire, on the Noah's Sea, had built a magnificent and wide city, and everyone was welcome to settle on the island!

His lord, Baron Situ, has announced that every family that has moved to the island will be given ten acres of land after they arrive on the island! And Baron Situ has also promised that only half of the crops produced by the land each year will be handed over to his lord, and the remaining half will be at the disposal of the family itself, and for the next two years, he will not charge a cent of tax for the residents who choose to settle on the island!

Upon hearing the news, the people who had fled from the eastern part of the empire were shocked and disbelievable! Shocked that some nobles offered to give them the land, and that they only needed to hand over half of the crops produced by the land, and the remaining half would be at their disposal!

The land of all countries on the continent is in the hands of the nobles, and the commoners have no land, only the share of the land for the nobles! Compared with those slaves who have completely lost their personal freedom and can only work for the nobles without getting any return, the commoners can get a small amount of wages from the nobles, but that little salary is only enough for the commoners to barely make ends meet!

Owning their own land, and not having to hand over all the land harvest to the nobles, the vast majority of civilians probably don't even dare to think about this kind of thing, so you can imagine how shocked and unbelievable everyone was after hearing the news!

Regardless of whether this news is true or not, for these displaced people who have nowhere to go at the moment, they can only go to the southern island of Erland to try their luck! Although many people do not believe in this matter in their hearts, and they are also resistant to the word "island" in their hearts, but at this time, these people have no better choice!

So not long after this news spread, the road from the east of the empire to the south was full of cars, horses and pedestrians for a while. Three days later, when Shikoku captured another city in the eastern part of the empire, more people set out on the journey south!
