Because the new emperor has issued an order, the Chamber of Commerce also needs to form a guard to assist in the war, and will also be rewarded according to merit and be granted a title.

The old nobles were already accustomed to this way of doing things and had no objections. Many of their ancestors had made their fortunes through military exploits.

The merchants with manpower and wealth finally found a way to climb the social ladder and obtain titles. Their accumulated grievances also found an outlet. They spontaneously armed themselves and joined the empire's deployment. Many workshops that had been shut down began to recruit people again, and the number of refugees on the streets also decreased rapidly.

Under the active organization of the Chamber of Commerce, various workshops producing commodities began to rapidly change their uses. They converted the factories that manufactured alchemical artifacts into the production of armor and muskets, and the spinning factories also quickly began to produce tents, gauze, rainproof cloth, military uniforms, boots, and a series of other products.

In order to cope with the financial pressure, the imperial central government began to issue war bonds. As long as you buy them, you will be paid back generous interest and principal in a few years.

While the central region was actively preparing for war, the new emperor's envoy also arrived in the southern border.

In the huge hall that resembled a garland, neatly dressed members of the Fairywood sat on circular seats. On the sides of their collars, they all had uniform badges of small white flowers, representing their identity as members of the Fairywood.

In the center of the layers of white and green wreaths is the smallest semicircle, in which sit six high-level committee members, who will be the leaders of this meeting.

"To summarize, the Duke of Griffin has now assembled his army and declared war on the new emperor. His purpose is very clear, which is to overthrow the new emperor's rule and support another royal descendant who is easier to control to ascend the throne." A mid-level committee member was making a report during the meeting.

"What do you all think about the new emperor's request for assistance? For now, hold your stance. Make a decision after careful consideration and judgment."

Afterwards, one member of the meeting began to express his or her views and opinions. Some of them argued and refuted with each other, and analyzed the pros and cons of each other.

"The Empire's system is fundamentally different from ours. We have no reason to defend such a backward and even unfair system."

"However, if we allow the new emperor to be overthrown, we will have to face the pressure of a vast, integrated empire. Don't forget how the powerful Land of Oz was defeated by the empire. It just so happens that this land beneath our feet once belonged to Oz."

"I agree with the organization's decision to intervene, but I do not agree with assisting the new emperor in the form of support." At this time, a member wearing glasses stood up.

"First of all, our organization's belief is to establish an equal, enlightened, and just nation. If I help to protect the imperial family, what difference would that make me betray my own beliefs? In the end, would I still be the same as those nobles who only care about their own interests?"

"Help has conditions, and that is to make the new emperor accept the organization's philosophy and system. Only then will there be a reason to send troops."

"But, there is no way the other party will agree to such conditions." Other members also bluntly said that this was simply asking the emperor to commit suicide.

"Yes, but we've already shown our sincerity. If they don't agree, that's their problem. Rather than saving a corrupt empire, it's better to wait until both sides are devastated and wipe them out altogether, leaving behind a pure world."

"This is crazy. The South cannot afford such a huge war right now."

For a moment, there were many different opinions, until the bell rang and the conference hall became quiet again.

"Now please allow Lady Jialan to speak." Everyone's eyes in the hall converged on the young girl with blue hair in the center. This girl, who looked to be 16-17 years old, was the soul of the 'Fairywood' organization. She was followed and even believed in by many members present.

"We will support the emperor in the center of the empire." Loran Hill was the first to express his opinion.

"But we won't be sending troops there. We'll only be delivering the supplies they need. This is based on the friendship between the two countries. In the early days of the organization, it was indeed thanks to the new emperor's decree that many bloodsheds were avoided."

Loran Hill's words echoed clearly in the hall. His voice was pleasant and soft, often making people addicted. His clear logic made many members nod secretly.

"The reason for not sending troops there is just as members have said before. We cannot let our soldiers sacrifice themselves for something like this because it goes against the organization's beliefs."

…

After Loran Hill finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the hall, and then the resolution was quickly passed. Many old weapons that had been accumulated in the southern border, such as captured armor of various specifications and muskets, began to be transported to the central part of the empire.

After Fairywood gradually improved its armaments and produced unified standard weapons, these leftover items from the past became less useful and there was no need to feel bad about giving them away.

However, for the central part of the empire, which currently needs a large number of weapons, these are indeed urgently needed supplies.

After weapons and armaments began to be shipped to the central region, some food was gradually loaded onto trucks and shipped to the central region of the empire to support the new emperor in resisting the coalition forces of the Griffins and Ravens.

Because of this civil war, the entire empire began to split into three parts. The first was the coalition of griffins and ravens, the second was the new emperor and his allies in the central part of the empire, the "Fairywood" organization in the south, and the third was the elves of the Emerald Forest and the nobles of the east who had elven blood.

Among them, the coalition forces of Griffins and Ravens were attacking in full swing, and the provinces and cities in the central part of the empire began to fall into the flames of war. At the same time, the southern border was actively preparing for war, starting to build fortifications, training troops to deal with possible crises, and providing supplies to the central part of the empire.

However, even when such a fierce war broke out, the East Territory and the Emerald Forest remained peaceful and maintained a neutral state.

The Duke of Unicorn and the Landsworthy family stated that they would not participate in this war. They recognized the rationality and legality of the actions of both sides, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with them who became the emperor.

Anyway, the empire has abandoned the elves, right? It is no longer a green empire, but a red empire.

In that case, let them fight among themselves.
