Chapter 78: Exceptional Treatment
In the year 1251 of the Starry Calendar, during the month of Fire Flow.
The Marquis of Golden Rock initiated a rebellion and announced independence.
Shortly thereafter, twelve influential lords, including Baron Storm, Baron Winter Frost, Viscount Black Ze, and Viscount Feather Serpent, responded and formed the Golden Rock Coalition.
The next day, the Golden Rock Coalition's army marched to subdue the noble lords within the Golden Rock Province who opposed the declaration of independence, including three barons and one viscount.
War was imminent.
In the council chamber of Shimmering City, Key, Sunan, three nobles, and numerous knights gathered to discuss how to confront the Golden Rock Coalition.
"According to the intelligence, the Marquis of Golden Rock has led his troops to Mengguang City, which is located at the intersection of the borders of Somon Province, Zizhu Province, and Golden Rock Province. I suspect he wants to personally oversee the area to prevent a surprise attack from Somon Province and Zizhu Province," Bred explained, gesturing to a military map of the Principality of Starlight laid out on the long table in the center of the room.
Each point he made was marked on the map.
"Aside from the Marquis of Golden Rock, the other coalition lords have split their forces into four routes."
"Viscount Black Ze is leading one army to attack Chijiao Territory."
"Viscount Feather Serpent is leading one army to attack Mingxin Territory."
