Passing travelers.
If you arrive in the Duchy of Connaught.
Please tell the people there.
We will keep our oath to defend the Empire of Britannia until death.
——An inscription commemorating the aid of the Winged Cavalry in the Battle of Pendragon, carved on a monument erected in Pendragon City after the war. This inscription has been included in the history textbooks of later generations.
It's a pity that you were abandoned soon after.
——A sentence added by a later student at the end of this passage included in a history textbook.
The vassals had mixed reactions to the "territorial order" issued by Ilsa.
Some of the vassals were quite happy.
The vassals who will be happy are basically poor vassals.
Because the land they were granted was too small, too barren, or for some other reason, a considerable number of vassals in the Britannia Empire lived a very miserable life.
There were even vassals who were so poor that they had to borrow money from other vassals or some wealthy businessmen to survive.
The conditions offered by the central government are really full of temptations for them.
As long as you obediently hand over your fiefdom and private tribes and move your whole family to Pendragon, the Britannia Empire Center will help you clear all your debts and spend a sum of money every month to support you.
The money provided by the central government every month is much more than the monthly income of their fiefdoms.
They are a bunch of poor vassals who can't even live a slightly luxurious life for themselves, let alone raise a private tribe.
They don't have any private tribes. They only need to hand over their barren land and they can move into the prosperous Pendragon and receive a large amount of money every month - the poor vassals are It can be said that everyone was overjoyed when they received this "tomb order".
hurriedly responded to the central government's "land collection order",
And actively making preparations for moving the family to Pendragon.
However - there are also some vassals who expressed great indignation against the "territory collection order" of the Britannia Empire.
This group of vassals are basically wealthy vassals headed by the Duke of Connaught and the Duke of North Munster who don't have to worry about money.

When he received the provincial order from the central government, Ron, the Duke of Connaught, couldn't believe his ears.
After repeatedly confirming with the central messenger responsible for delivering the order, Ron accepted this fact - he wanted to hand over the rich soil under his feet that his family had worked hard for many generations, and hand over the pride of their Duchy of Connaught - — Winged Cavalry Regiment.
At that moment, Ron felt dizzy, and the whole world seemed to be turned upside down.
Ron was still taking a chance at first.
I hope that Ilsa can change her mind and take back this "receipt order".
He waited patiently.
In the end, what they received was news that the National Imperial Seal Knights were mobilizing their forces and preparing to launch an attack on the vassals in the west.
Hand over the land and the Winged Cavalry obediently - their family has lived here for generations. In order to build this land and the Winged Cavalry, several generations of them have exhausted their efforts. Ask Ron to hand over the land obediently. How could he be willing to do so? .
Raising troops to resist the central government - the troops under Ron's command were only the Winged Cavalry Regiment, and together with other vassals who had private tribes, their total strength would not exceed 20,000.
And Ilsa has four major knights under her command. Although the other three knights except the National Royal Seal Knights have not returned to their heyday due to last year's war, the total strength of the four knights In total, there are 500,000.
Disobeying orders with force will result in death.
Unable to resist, and unwilling to hand over his land and private tribes, there was only one thing Ron could do - take the whole family to Pendragon and plead with Ilsa. 22 Literature Network
However - after coming to Pendragon, Ilsa did not accept any of his requests.
Ron was not allowed to see her, and Ron was not allowed to enter Baiyang Palace.
Ron, who was desperate, could only use his own connections to find out which day was the day when a big meeting would be held in the Baiyang Palace.
Then on this day, he took the whole family and knelt outside the gate of Baiyang Palace, imploring the civil and military ministers who entered the palace to intercede with Ilsa on their behalf.
No matter who can, as long as they can intercede for them.
…
…
It's April now, which is already a rainy season.
It has been raining lightly and mist-like since early in the morning today.
Ron took his wife, his brother Nolid, his daughter Paris, his other children, and his elders...
In short, when the sun just emerged from the horizon today, Ron took their whole family and knelt beside the gate outside Baiyang Palace.
All civil and military ministers who want to attend today's big meeting must pass through this magnificent palace gate if they want to enter the palace to attend the meeting.
If you pass by the palace gate, you will definitely see Ron and others kneeling on the roadside.
It's the coolest morning of the day and now it's raining.
The morning wind blew through my body which was wetted by the rain, and a chill came out of my body.
But Ron didn't feel how cold his body was.
After all, the coldness in his body was nothing compared to the coldness in his heart.
Carriages passed by Ron and others, then passed through the palace gate and entered Baiyang Palace.
On these carriages were all the civil and military ministers who were attending the meeting today.
When passing in front of Ron and others, no carriage slowed down or stopped.
For some reason, no carriage had its window curtains drawn.
Maybe the people in the carriages didn't have the habit of drawing the curtains when riding in carriages.
Maybe the people in the carriages were not interested in the scenery outside the window.
Or maybe the people in the carriages deliberately drew the curtains.
Ron looked up high, hoping to find a few familiar figures in the passing carriages.
The person Ron wanted to find the most was actually Su Cheng.
After failing to meet Ilsa, Ron tried to find Su Cheng.
It goes without saying how high Su Cheng's status in the central government is now.
If Su Cheng came forward to plead for them, there might be hope of persuading Ilsa to change her mind.
But after approaching Su Cheng's mansion, he was ruthlessly driven away by the guards guarding outside Su Cheng's mansion.
Ron wanted these guards to help him inform the mansion, saying "Ron wants to see you."
But the guards didn't listen to him at all and kept driving him out.
I don't know if it was Ron's illusion...
After the guards learned that his name was Ron, they seemed to drive him out even harder.
Ron, who still didn't give up, pinned his last hope on today.
I hope to see Su Cheng at the gate of the palace today.
However... the carriages passing by all had the curtains on the windows drawn, so Ron and others didn't even know who was sitting in the carriage...
