Chapter 209: D-Rank Adventurer Party (1)
Our volunteer army was disbanded for the time being after we were safely escorted to a nearby city.
Brittany’s forces ended up completely taking over a portion of Parisiorum. A majority of the royal troops that disobeyed the Emperor’s orders ended up getting subjugated. The Empress Dowager’s faction had mostly fallen. The people of Frankia were in both fear and awe of the young queen’s accomplishment.
The Emperor’s faction……. Well, should I include Brittany and call them royalists now? It should be fine to say that the Royalists had firmly established their position.
The mass slaughter that started at Parisiorum spread like a plague to the other cities. At some point, the Emperor’s mistake had been disguised as ‘His Excellency’s action to get rid of the republican traitors’. The republicans were slaughtered all throughout Frankia excluding the ones in the north.
The mayors and bureaucrats were the ones who led these slaughters. In other words, this was their way of saying ‘I’m on the Emperor’s side so please spare us!’. The country was in quite the state.
The bureaucrats had been debating whether they should take the Emperor’s side or the Empress Dowager’s side, but the battle at St. Dennis Plains was the final push they needed. Everyone bowed their heads to the Queen who annihilated 60,000 soldiers with only 20,000.
Everyone was desperately participating in the slaughters so that they wouldn’t get accused of sitting on their hands. The mayors that happened to have a conscience simply overlooked the slaughters. The tide had turned. Republicans were going to have to be careful even when they masturbated in the safety of their own homes……if they weren’t already dead, that is.
They fully understood how defeat felt.
“They say that the knights that departed from Habsburg mostly gathered at Frankia.”
