-104- situation

"Lord Count, Castel is worried about internal and external troubles, the neighboring lords have long been eyeing me Castel, and the attitude of the Boulder family has been even more ambiguous after the outbreak of the rebellion......"

"This rebellion should not be delayed for too long, if it drags on, the rebels are likely to get more support from neighboring lords, and even the Border family may intervene."

"There is not much time left for us, and if it weren't for the fact that the coalition forces must undergo further training to form combat effectiveness, I would even like to suggest that the army be assembled immediately and go north to fight the rebels......

"Lord Earl, please make a decision as soon as possible......

Viscount Leon-Castel had a serious look and a respectful attitude.

And with his request, for a while, the eyes of all the nobles were focused on Charlotte's body.

Being watched by everyone, Charlotte suddenly felt pressured.

To be honest, she also felt that what Viscount Lean-Castell said was very reasonable, and she as a lord knew exactly what Castel's external environment was, and this rebellion really couldn't be delayed for too long.

It's just that she still feels a little embarrassed to make a decision just after listening to a meeting.

An army of thirty-five thousand...... Even if this is in the transcendent world, it is not a small force.

The fate of tens of thousands of people is in her hands, even if the heart is big, she has to be cautious.

The "fog of war" in reality is far more stressful than in video games, and Charlotte has limited information.

Although Castel's army was far larger than the rebels, Charlotte, with a gut feeling, felt that something was wrong.

There was still too little information to be obtained from the meeting, and the situation around Castel was a little strange for Charlotte.

Especially Viscount Remisio.

The fact that the Legion Commander of the Kingdom Army, who had made clear promises to stand by Castel's side in a possible rebellion before she fell asleep, remained neutral, was indeed somewhat unexpected.

Charlotte didn't think the other party would change her attitude for no reason, it could only be that something happened during the time she was asleep.

Not to mention, since Castel was able to pull up far more troops than the Lygliss family, why did the Leglis family dare to raise the banner of rebellion?

Just because of her "disappearance"?

No, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Thinking back to the Lady of Lyglis, who was also of the blood family, she had seen at the dinner at the Earl's Court, Charlotte fell into thought.

To be honest, although the Lygliss family had shown all sorts of suspicious signs before the rebellion, the impression that the baroness had left on Charlotte was not too bad.

Charlotte had actually predicted the possibility of a rebellion against the Glyss family before she fell asleep.

The Legliss family strongly objected to the censorship presided over by Leon Castel, and if Charlotte pressed them too quickly, it could push them to the opposite side completely.

However, it is only possible.

Charlotte left Viscount Remisio behind before she fell asleep, and with the strength of the kingdom's standing army, she was not forced to the point of no retreat, and the Lygris family would definitely not dare to act rashly.

And Charlotte did not put pressure on the Lyglis family.

Even if it was a censorship operation, it never advanced to the north, and even before falling asleep, he asked Sebas to wait for her to wake up before proceeding.

But now she wakes up and finds that everything has changed.

Charlotte combed through the known situation, and felt as if some force was manipulating Castel's rebellion.

No, to be more precise, it should be that there must be other forces behind the Leglis family.

I am afraid that this force is not small, and it can even influence the attitude of the kingdom's army......

Thinking of this, Charlotte fell into deep thought.

Castel says it's not small, but it's not big when it's big.

120,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a province of the Celestial Empire in the previous life.

The game around Castells must also have forces with conflicting interests here, and if you think about it, there are just a few.

The Order of the Blood Demons, the Crescent Royalty, the Ness Clan, and the lords of the neighboring kingdoms of Castel Lord.

To be honest, if it was just the Gliss family, Charlotte didn't really take it too seriously.

It's just a viscount family, even if it recruits soldiers and buys horses, it has always maintained a cavalry unit, but the size of the territory is there.

What Charlotte really had to deal with was the supporters in the aftermath of the rebellion.

As for which one or more of the supporters behind this is, Charlotte also has some guesses......

Of course, speculation is just speculation, and she needs more information to clarify the current situation.

This rebellion is also an opportunity to wipe out all opposition in her realm, and then she can completely control Castel and become a true lord.

"Lord Count, please make a decision!"

Looking at Charlotte, who was lost in thought, Viscount Lean-Castel repeated again.

In the hall, the nobles were also eager to try, looking like they couldn't wait to fight.

Thinking about it, the odds of winning are not high with a three-fold military advantage on the surface, and after quelling the rebellion in the north, the land of those rebel lords is likely to be deprived and re-divided, in this case, the nobles are naturally high-spirited.

"Angus, how many troops do you need to block the rebels from moving south?"

Charlotte pondered for a moment, then looked at the silent Baron Angus.

"Lord Earl, there are already a certain number of defenders stationed along the Dorne River, and if you only need to defend in place, three thousand reinforcements will be enough."

Baron Angus replied respectfully.

"What if they are defeated?"

"Lord Earl, this is a matter of how many standing armies the Ghris family has organized, the standing armies are extraordinary, and ordinary levies are not their opponents at all."

Baron Angus said in a deep voice.

"When did the rebels reach the Dorne?"

"It's been almost a week, but they don't have the means to cross the river, and when winter comes, the river is cold, so they don't move further, but camp on the shore."

Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"You say they haven't continued their operations since they settled down on the shore?"

"Yes."

"Bring me the map, show me."

Charlotte ordered.

Several nobles quickly brought Castel's map up and spread it out in front of Charlotte, who looked at the map of her own territory and quickly fell into deep thought.
