In the spring of 736 in the Aramaic calendar, the empire of Gwana.

The expected Blood Banner Civil War did not unfold. But the follow-up development was not as easy to clean up as the emperor envisioned.

The collapse of the Risa Collar was something that everyone was caught off guard.

After the news of the end of the Risa Gong's family was semi-officially confirmed, the army gathered by the Risa Territory had a different mind. It's just that no one thinks about how to get out of the fire, but how to escape.

Risa Gong is finished, but Kavi Gong's strength is still intact. Perhaps the people in the upper echelons could see that the old duke had no reason to go to war. But the people below don't dare to bet on whether the old duke is likely to fight hard. Because if you make a mistake, you will lose your own life.

The first to flee were mercenaries. The reason is also very valid, the employer is gone, and the contract does not exist. It was only natural for them to leave, because no one was giving money.

There is nothing wrong with that. Even if outsiders don't think so, the mercenaries are still gone. It means that they have long realized that the situation is not right, and if they had not been hired too early, they would not have been able to join this losing side. Now that they have the opportunity, if they don't run, they will be born and died on the battlefield in vain, and they can still live to the current experience.

The second group of those who escaped were the lowest soldiers who had been forcibly recruited. Most of them were not even fully equipped with qualified equipment, so they were taken from home to the newly formed regiments.

At first, they didn't think much of it, and there was not much information about the war in the village. Anyway, it was the lord's recruitment, and they responded to the military service. If there is anything special, it is that there are a lot of people recruited, and almost all the men are pulled into the improvised legion.

But after entering the legion station, you must know the enemy information anyway. Although there is still so-called righteous propaganda in this era, similar to the psychological counseling or political warfare work of the modern forces of the earth.

But propaganda is propaganda, and what the soldiers at the bottom think of the war they will face is another matter. Morale is a mystery.

For the generals, they all know that the morale of the people is very important. But if the generals are almost dead, how can the junior officers at the bottom lead the troops?

No, people's hearts are in turmoil.

The internal management was at a loss, there was fatal pressure outside, and as soon as the two sides worked hard, the grass-headed people fled. And these people did not flee home, but fled deep into the mountains and old forests.

Even if they still know the identity of the deserters, if they flee home, the military service officer of the Risa family will make up for it, and these two deserters who flee home may also affect their families. Therefore, they can only flee to places where there are few people and they don't know themselves.

As soon as the two waves of people fled like this, the army that the Risa family had gathered desperately scattered in seven or eight eight. What's worse is that because this group of people dare not go home and have no ability to run away, they have all become problems in the territory.

The rest of the people who can still stick to their original posts are only 12 out of 10. Most of these people were rich peasants or merchants and craftsmen, and they expected to establish military success and advance to the aristocratic class.

As long as there is merit, it is not difficult to be knighted. It was more difficult to enter the class of hereditary nobility, that is, above the baron. But there is a knighthood in his body, which is different from the ordinary people, so they are looking forward to this war that seems to have little chance of winning.

This is also because they can see that the civil war in the empire is nothing more than a fight between the upper echelons. After the fight, what should the people do, or what will happen. Then the soldiers at the lowest level in the war have a chance to fill the void as long as they perform well. As for the vacancies, of course, they are the ones that have been vacated by the war.

Speaking of which, this group of people is gambling, betting that they can survive to the end. Win or lose, as long as the territory still wants to maintain normal operation, someone needs to manage it. If the original manager dies in the war, who will be promoted? In addition to those nobles who stretched out their hands because of the game, they could not only find those who showed their talent in the war.

It's just that...... If you want to perform, you basically need to have a stage. As a result, the stage was set up, and the people who insisted on staying on the stage turned their heads and looked, hehe, most of them ran out, so what should they do?

Tearing the soil and dividing the territory, occupying the mountain as the king?

The emperor had already come to this point. Not to mention that the three legions assembled by Kavi Gong have not yet dispersed, the empire has also sent a full Iron Guard legion, and the remaining ten regular legions have also each sent a brigade into the western camp of Kavi Ling.

Although the ten regular legions only moved a large number of soldiers and officers, it also meant that they all set their sights on the Risa Territory. As soon as there is a stir and the order of the military headquarters arrives, ten legions will rise up, coming from all directions, and all the chaos will be calmed down.

Don't think that the layout of these high-level leaders will not be announced to the non-commissioned officers and soldiers at the grassroots level. I can't help but have a forum in this era. All kinds of gossip went viral, and of course there were various judgments and deductions about the current situation.

It can be said that everyone knows how to talk about cannons, and the benefits are different. Those who listen may not be able to judge what an accurate plan is, but as long as they know one thing, that is, whoever wants to jump out of the head will fall into the frieze, then everyone will know what to do.

The edict on the disbandment of the legions from the Emperor and the administrator in charge of the Rissar came relatively late. After all, they have to walk on their feet, which is not as convenient as sending messages on forums.

But when the magistrate arrived, he withheld the edict for the disbandment of the legions, which had been sent to various places. The reason is that he needs the manpower to persuade those who have fled to return to their places of origin.

Therefore, after obtaining the emperor's consent, he signed a special amnesty decree, and the deserters returned to their hometowns without being held accountable. And let those who still insist on staying in the legion go to the four directions. They're all locals, and of course they know best where they're going.

Don't think that the emperor just sent someone over, and whether he could take care of the mess of the Rissar Collar was a question. In fact, that's not really a problem.

Everyone can see that the title of Grand Duke of Risa is likely to be severed. So what about the vassals who originally belonged to the Risa family?

Although the emperor can admit that there are small nobles who have quite a lot of business in their respective territories, they can also come and push two five or six and directly refuse to recognize it. Then take back the territory and see if it will be planted with new people, or if it will go directly to the emperor.

You must know that the title of this kind of vassal will not be too high, otherwise it will not thin the territory of the feudal king. Therefore, the hereditary nobility subordinate to the family of the Grand Duke was mostly dominated by the lowest barons; There is usually only one marquis, and that is the heir of the Grand Duke. As for the number of counts and viscounts, it was strictly controlled to ensure that the Grand Duke himself belonged to the strong side.

And then unfortunately, all the people with heads and faces in the Risa Territory knew that the key to the reversal of the war was the airship. Therefore, after formulating the plan for the capture of the Sid, many people were very curious about the airship praised at the forum, and they gathered at the White Fox Castle, and then they were served in a pot......

Therefore, the rest of the people in the Risa Collar are insignificant little nobles. In the face of today's disadvantages, if someone conspires with them to take the peaceful route to appeal, in order to preserve the legacy of the Grand Duke of Risa, there may be a glimmer of hope.

Loyal ministers show loyalty, no matter how disgusted the superior is, he will not do things absolutely. As long as everyone doesn't die, just an attitude comes out, that's enough.

But the reality is that no one has the prestige to come forward and unite everyone, and everyone is thinking about the survival of their own family. Therefore, when the administrators sent by the emperor gave orders, they did everything possible to show obedience, and only wanted to keep the family domain and title. Whether or not they can stay in the privileged class of the aristocracy is very important to these people.

And then there is the mess of Rissaling, don't think about spring ploughing, the grain has to be dispatched from other places. Moreover, in most of the documents related to the territory, with the ashes of the White Fox Castle, the administrator sent by the emperor must have a good time if he wants to restore order in the territory.

Fortunately, Kaveh led five legions to be in charge, and no matter how chaotic the Risa Leader was, the people below did not dare to use the sword soldiers. Otherwise, the emperor's edict will be pressed over, not to mention the chaos, the land will be flat!

As for the three northern kingdoms that were originally in contact with the old Kavi Gong, they can be regarded as picking up a big bargain. The mercenary legion is disbanded on the spot before it has even set off, and the commission is equal to the white pick-up.

There is nothing wrong with having a soldier who is hired or conscripted to have something to take and not to fight, and not to have to fight means that there is no need to die.

However, for the nobles of the three northern kingdoms, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the territory of the empire to grab a hand. If the opportunity is right, it is not impossible to pick up more bargains.

Now that it's good, I don't even have the opportunity to go on the expedition. They wanted to take advantage of the fact that the hired army was assembled and not disbanded, and called by the king's order to enter the chaotic Risa Territory to grab a hand. But the army that the Kaveh Leader has assembled can not only be used against the Rissa's legions and chaos, but also turn against them.

Do you go head-to-head with the five well-prepared legions led by Grand Duke Kaveh?

Even if they could learn from the forum that the title of old duke was stripped away, and his heir succeeded him to the title of grand duke. But being stripped of his title doesn't mean it's forbidden to lead troops to war. Even if he can't lead the troops, his old man appears on the battlefield, and without using his hands, the morale of his own people will collapse to the point that everyone may run out. How else to fight.

So for the sake of the old duke's face, the three northern kingdoms stopped. Anyway, they have already earned benefits, so let's take care of the domestic spring ploughing. It's okay for them to steal chickens, but they have to be tough with the empire, even if they want to, the people below don't want to. I can't fight.

The young duke of the Kaveh family has already succeeded to the throne, and the eldest duke has retired, but he is even happier. It has the posture of the former demon prince Azad, and no one dares to stop him wherever he goes. With his friendship with the emperor, without real power in his hands, and with no influence left, the old man is really no taboo in acting.

However, everyone can see that the old duke is causing trouble everywhere, which actually has a bit of a taste of shifting focus. Therefore, as long as the nobles with clear minds have their eyes on the emperor. This old thing is the root of the real trouble.
