Lord of Lowland

Chapter 554 Consolidating the Rule
The entire city of Issara has only one million residents. The huge size of 20 troops really makes the residents in the city panic. They don't care whether Rex or Cecil becomes king, but once the city is broken, the army will inevitably be defeated. Burning, killing and looting everywhere is definitely a disaster for the residents of the city.The entire city of Issara was in a panic, and tens of thousands of people gathered at the entrance of the Shrine of Dawn to pray.Pray that the rebels will never attack the city.

At this time, Princess Freya was already five months pregnant, and her belly had already begun to show. She was very comfortable raising her baby in the harem. The Jinhui Knights, the guard knights in the city, were all new knights. Searle just overwhelmed them by force.But once the outside army is said to be overwhelming, the reliability of these troops is almost zero, and the heads and deputy heads of several knight orders feel a little ready to move.Frequent contacts with rebel forces outside the city.

The number of troops outside the city is an absolute advantage, but due to the lack of unity of command, it is understandable that the siege of Issara City has not been completed for a long time. The illegitimate son of King Rex alone found a dozen, You say yours is true, and he says his is true. They all want to control the puppet in their own hands. This is where the coalition forces can't make a big deal, especially when the 20 troops are almost two dozen small Organized by powerful forces, it is difficult to form combat effectiveness at all.

Cecil has not been idle for the past three months. He dispatched Rachel to quickly rush to the northern border and lead the Blood Eagle Knights to defend. The rebels entered the city of Issara, and before the rebels besieged the city, they continuously dropped the elite soldiers of the other three knights in the city into the Holy Knights. Obviously, Cecil wanted the Holy Knights to replace the Forbidden Knights in the future. The status of the Guardian Knights became the first knight order in the kingdom.

It's just that Cecil's actions have accelerated the separation of the three major knights headed by the Knights of the Imperial Guard, but Cecil doesn't seem to care at all. The young paladins of the Holy Knights have been accepting Alonso in the Temple of Dawn these days. Thanks to the great priest's guidance and the support of the great priest Alonso, the temples around the kingdom did not have much reaction to Cecil's ascension to the throne. The temple is the place of belief for the people at the bottom and is very important for stabilizing the place. Without the support of the nobles, Cecil would be caught off guard if he lost the support of the people at the bottom and the temple, so Cecil expressed his gratitude to Priest Alonso from the bottom of his heart.

When Cecil expanded the Holy Knights to 1, Cecil decisively chose to lead the Holy Knights out of the city to fight the rebels. At this time, the alliance of the rebels had already begun. More than a dozen illegitimate children of the family have now been killed, leaving only two, which proves that the rebels have become two major military groups, and the two major rebel groups have temporarily reached an agreement to attack the palace first and think about other things.

At this time, Cecil actually led the Holy Knights to kill out of the city. This was simply in the hands of the rebels. In their eyes, their own strength is now in the upper hand, and there is no problem in winning. The only weakness is I just don’t know how to attack the strong city of Issara, and I’m constantly recruiting craftsmen to make ladders and various siege equipment. I didn’t expect Cecil to go out of the city to fight with such a small force. I really don’t know how to write the dead word .No wonder he is an upstart, he really has no brains at all, since he wants to die, then we will naturally fulfill him, so the rebels outside the city quickly launched an attack on Cecil!

As a result, the rebels were really eye-opening when they fought against each other. Their strength ratio with Cecil's army was twenty to one, but this was of no use. With the blessing of Cecil's powerful aura, Cecil The attributes of each soldier are more than ten times that of the rebels of the same level. What does it mean for 20 lions to enter a group of [-] rabbits?It means massacre.

In fact, Cecil's Holy Knights didn't panic at all this time. This result is a matter of course. With the experience of the decisive battle with the superior forces of the Eluk Empire last time, they simply don't care about this result at all. It's strange, even this time the Soloran Kingdom is making such a big fuss, and that's why the Eluk Empire didn't take advantage of the fire to loot.On the contrary, these rebels had no information and seriously underestimated Cecil's ability, which led to this tragedy.

As a result, after a great battle, rivers of blood flowed outside the city of Issara, and Cecil sat motionless on his horse. This aura alone could strengthen his soldiers to an unimaginable level. It has ended.

It turned out that Cecil knew that his own rebel forces were all over the kingdom, so he deliberately let them develop, let them start a prairie fire, and let them all erupt at once, and then a decisive battle under the city of Issara was settled at once.This is also Cecil's absolute confidence in his own strength. These mobs were really fooled. As a result, Cecil won a big victory in the battle of Issara City. This battle was talked about by many bards, and even thousands of years later Sing.

After this battle, Cecil's reputation has been greatly improved, becoming a symbol of invincibility, and his popularity has almost reached its peak. Some people even use the title of "Son of Dawn" to call the new king. Prestige is at its peak.

And those nobles and knights who resisted Cecil also tasted Cecil's thunderous methods. Cecil was never soft on them. Every day, a large number of noble lords were dragged to the guillotine, and there was also a lot of resentment on the execution ground. But because of Cecil's powerful force and the fact that he has firmly established absolute prestige among the people at the bottom, these nobles have nothing to do in the face of Cecil's strong pressure.

It is because Cecil has absolute strength, and the crushing of this kind of strength makes all kinds of nobles have nothing to do. In addition, although Cecil has used harsh methods against nobles, but for the bottom It is true that the means of wooing were adopted. The taxes of the owner-cultivators were reduced again and again, the tax burdens of the great nobles were increased one after another, and the land rent was also suppressed to a very low level by Cecil. After nearly a year of game and Governance, those nobles who resisted Cecil finally suffered a devastating blow, including the remnants of King Rex like the Duke of Fatam, who were put on the guillotine. Of course, his title was given to him by Cecil. Son of a friend, Count Kasikund.Cecil finally consolidated his rule in the kingdom.
