Chapter 247: "·Internal Fight"

A people who are used to living under the monarch, if they accidentally become free, it is difficult for them to maintain their freedom.
-Nicolo Machiavelli (Italian political thinker and historian)
Assam and Nabazzani were the generals of the Kingdom of Essini who followed Prasuz’s southward expedition, and they had been independent for as long as seven or eight years; by their means, how could it be unprepared? The soldiers confronted the powerful Francis?
Atabaz killed the battlefield during the battle with the Roman city army. Francis, who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, did not treat Atabaz's family at all. This caused a lot of dissatisfaction from the nobles of the Essinian kingdom. They thought it was a kind of Betray behavior.
Especially the descendants of Atabaz who were forcibly relocated from the family camp by Francis. Their encounters were pityed and regretted by all the Aisini nobles, and even some nobles also took the initiative to stand up for Atabaz's family.
The bravery and integrity of the barbarian aristocracy are most selflessly manifested at this time, but the point is that the ambitious Francis will care about the verbal shouts of the young nobles? They are young, but they cannot represent the family behind them.
Even the powerful family behind them, who dares to challenge Francis' authority under the premise of the Francis family's dominance? From the defeat of Atabaz soldiers and the loss of Assam and Nabazzani's strength, no one can challenge the power of Francis.
But is this really the case? Assam and Nabazzani's independence of the soldiers immediately caused Francis's fury. In order to completely eliminate the two threats of Assam and Nabazzani, Francis personally commanded the army to conquer the camps of the two.
The 180,000 army composed of 130,000 elite divisions and 50,000 recruits is the full military strength of Francis. Francis, who was in anger, did not lose his sensible army. He remained 10,000 elite and 20,000. The recruits were stationed in the camp.
In fact, long before Assam and Nabazzani were preparing for independence, they contacted Atabaz’s eldest son and the Essini nobles who were very dissatisfied with Francis. Deal with Francis's agreement.
On the night when Francis led his army to leave his camp, the young nobles of the Kingdom of Elsini, led by Atabaz’s eldest son Upton, secretly discussed how to seize Francis’ camp and assist Assam and Naba Zani hit Francis on both sides.
Although Atabaz has died on the battlefield, his prestige in the Kingdom of Essini is still not to be underestimated; all Essini warriors aged 15 and over, who has not heard of Prasu What about the story of the four major generals of King Sri Lanka?
Aiges, Assam, Nabazzani, Atabaz, these four generals are the four most trusted generals in the past. No matter how many mistakes Prasus made in his later years, they cannot be changed. Its lofty status in the eyes of the people of Aisini.
As a true king who unified the Essini tribe and personally established the Kingdom of Sini; Prasus is a great and respectable sire in the hearts of all Essini people, and the so-called four warlords, It is the most powerful general under Prassus.
For the Essini barbarians who believe in the strong, Plasus and his four warlords are absolutely the pride of the entire Essini kingdom and an example worthy of learning and respect for all Essini warriors.
Why can Queen Boudicah develop rapidly after succeeding the king? Those Essini warriors who had surrendered to Queen Budeka, they did not turn to the younger Queen Budeka, but General Aggs who had been on the battlefield.
And the fall of Assam, Nabazzani, and Atabaz made Francis reunite all the kingdoms of Essini except Queen Budika; now, these three battles will once again stand in Francis’s On the opposite side, how would other nobles choose?
After discussing the countermeasures with the young noblemen, Upton organized an aristocratic army determined to overthrow the Francis rule early the next morning, and launched the most direct challenge to the 30,000 troops staying in the Francis camp.
When Upton wearing Atabaz's armor appeared outside the garrison barracks, 20,000 recruits who had just joined Francis's army chose to fight back. As for the 10,000 elite teachers, they were Francis. The army under his brother.
At first they were forced to resign to Francis under desperation. After encountering such a rebellious Francis rule, they also agreed to Upton after the whole army reached a certain agreement.
Upton, which has been defeated by 30,000 troops, has an army of up to 40,000; as a result, the total strength of the three-party coalition forces of Assam, Nabazzani and Upton has reached 110,000 People, and surrounded Francis' army in tandem.
If the betrayal of Assam and Nabazzani makes Francis angry and angry; then the betrayal of Upton and many nobles is to put Francis in a dilemma.
You know that the betrayal of Upton and the nobles not only caused Francis to lose the 30,000 troops behind him, but also lost the camp on which he lived; without the camp, it means that Francis’ army will soon lose supplies And the foundation of survival.
This is the most deadly for Francis. He is now thinking about not how to rebel quickly, but how to lead his army to survive; in order to avoid the shaking of the army, he even sealed the news of the fall of the rear camp.
Because Francis understands that once the 150,000 troops learn of the fall of the rear camp, they will instantly change from the powerful and elite division into the guerrillas who worry about their families. I am afraid that the army will reduce itself in a few days. Dead.
But after all, Francis was a firm man with a firm mind, and he did not fall down after suffering such a setback. Instead, he took a series of measures with firmer will; the first thing he did was to divide his army and soldiers into two paths. .
Of the 150,000 troops under Francis, only 30,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 infantry have really followed Francis. The other 70,000 infantry came from the surrender and 30,000 recruits were just recruited.
The determined Francis, he personally led his 50,000 loyal and elite teachers to the army camp with the banner of supplementing the grass. The other 100,000 troops continued to be advanced by the generals of Francis.
If the large-scale rebellion within the Kingdom of Essini is just the same as the last time between the forces within the Kingdom of Essini; perhaps Francis will only need to spend a little time to reunite the Kingdom of Essini.
It is a pity that the existence of Bai Feng and the Roman city doomed the melee within the Kingdom of Essini to become a melee not limited to it; the army of Upton and Assam and Nabazzani will soon be available Support from the city of Rome!
