Chapter 125: Pause
As the name suggests, the most important thing about rebellion is not the current political reasons, but the facts of the situation.
Many people believe that as long as there are no voices of rebellion in politics, rebellion will not happen. Many people also believe that as long as there are voices of rebellion, a coup can be instigated.
But in practice, it was completely different. Olivia was a liberal arts student who had read history, so she naturally understood the essence of rebellion.
In late October, more than a dozen letters authorized by Olivia were sent to all the lords along the Delawuren River.
These lords controlled both sides of the river, the former counties of Constar and Roslingay. The lords themselves were the poor barons who had cooperated with them in the past. After establishing the kingdom, they all had bigger titles, and many of them were now viscounts.
Not long after the letter reached their hands, Olivia sent someone to the capital to reveal the news, publicly announcing that she had sent letters to many small lords in the north, inciting them to rebel.
The complete list of rebel members was included.
The official reason she gave was that the royal family had not come to power legitimately, so her region wanted independence and no longer owed allegiance to the royal family.
When this list arrived in the capital, more than a dozen small lords were immediately warned by letters from the Duke and the Crown Prince.
The small lords who are still in a daze now have no way out. Even if they want to delay and not express their stance on Eindhoven, waiting to directly stand on the winner's side in the future, they can no longer stay out of it.
They could only accept their fate and retreat, writing letters to Einweiten to express their willingness to board the pirate ship, hoping to be protected and not lose their lives.
Olivia was also very kind and sent thousands of soldiers to invite the entire families of these small lords to stay as guests in the city of Einweiton.
After all, anywhere outside the city of Einweiten is too unsafe, and they have to live well.
They were politely invited into the city and allowed to bring all their possessions and servants with them. They were allowed to live in the city with good food and drink. The place and food were free, and they could occasionally come to the fortress to dance. Wherever they went, they were still noble lords.
However, if they wanted to live a worry-free life like this, they had to hand over the soldiers and sign a document of the United Principality.
This document is historic. The establishment of the United Principality of Einwidden instantly became the largest political entity in the entire northern region.
Both Olivia and Caesar were heirs to the land and title, so they continued to use the official title of dual lords to show their sovereignty over the territory.
Those who are in charge of internal affairs are in charge of the internal affairs of all places, and those who are in charge of military affairs are in charge of the military affairs of all places.
Caesar took their soldiers and made up a force of about eight thousand men, and these men were not taken for free, for he also paid a monthly allowance, and he also brought together the titled viscounts and barons to form a council, modeled after the king's Senate.
These people must be informed of what has been done with their land and troops, and feel a sense of participation.
If a knight from a certain family makes a contribution, they will also receive a reward.
Among these small nobles, Viscount Lavoson was considered powerful. In fact, Viscount Lavoson did not want to rebel, after all, his family was related to the Duke's mother's family.
However, Olivia also knew this, so she started with their family and subdued the old acquaintances of this family. Seeing this situation, the rest did not dare to disobey.
It's a good thing if it's just a relationship and can be of use, but if it involves one's life, many people don't even want to have such a relationship.
Fortunately, Viscount Lavoisin and Caesar were old acquaintances, so he did not suffer any major difficulties.
They held councils twice a week in the fortress, where Olivia sorted them according to a strict hierarchy, which also brought them a new cohesion.
As early as the United Principality successfully passed the symbolic endorsement of Archbishop Fanon and took over the land ownership in the entire north, Olivia found that her mission was completed.
It turns out that I can complete territory missions without going on external campaigns! She stroked her chin in thought.

Ever since she received the mission, Olivia has been paying close attention to the war.
Wanting to be the emperor was one reason, but the main reason was that she was really craving rice. The last time she ate rice was in her previous life. It made people feel desperate just to talk about it.
Now that she finally has the chance to eat, she will not let it go even if it means she has to fight through the mainland.
However, the current amount of land is 30,000 hectares, and ten times that is 300,000 hectares. She needs to conquer all the remaining territories of Lenya, plus several large counties in the southern part of Alta to make up the total.
For example, the County of Valeu and the Marquisate of Desiso.
However, the war has already begun, and there will be no turning back once the rebellion begins. It would be better to take over the entire Alta, or at least most of the plains south of the warm capital, and irrigate all the fertile land to grow rice, Olivia thought.
Anyone who dares to stop her from eating rice will die.
Caesar expressed his full support for Olivia's ambition.
Ever since the North became independent as the United Principality in November, the royal family, realizing that things were out of control, finally stopped the civil war.
The late king might never have imagined until his death that the first time his two sons took the initiative to seek cooperation and huddled together in harmony was because Olivia and Caesar rebelled.
They are not fools. They know that if they don't unite, they will lose their throne. What is there to fight for then?
If there is trouble at home, it will only be limited to your own home. Once there is an external enemy, the priority will definitely be to deal with the external enemy.
Therefore, the soldiers who had fought against the Knights became the most embarrassed. They had already torn their faces apart and fought to the death, but they did not expect that something like this would happen in the north, and the two princes actually negotiated.
The attendants and the Knights complained bitterly and were very disgusted with such an unstable lord.
But no matter how disgusting the lord's order was, they had no choice but to stop fighting each other, pack up and head north to prepare to fight against the rebellious Einweiton.
