Chapter 85 Rebellion (Chapter 3
Ten years have passed, and Soda City has indeed changed a lot.
With Chen Heng's efforts to govern, Soda City has now become a city that is not inferior to Kutu City. Although it is still inferior to some places, the prosperity is not inferior at all.
And the sharpness and vitality contained in it are something that never existed in the royal city of Kutu, the Kutu kingdom.
In the city, leaders, free people, mercenaries, slaves and even aliens walked around them, walking casually.
This scene is hard to see elsewhere, but it is very common in this place.
Because of the release of the pioneering corps, a large number of mercenaries and second sons of nobles who are eager for territory and merit will come here every year to supplement logistics and equipment in the city to better fight.
The reason why Soda has developed rapidly in just over a decade is that it has no connection with these people.
In recent years, due to the establishment of a stable defense, the military pressure faced by Sodaling has been greatly reduced, and the population of reproduction has gradually increased under the stability of the people.
During the steadily development, many refugees were attracted by this place and flocked to it, becoming part of the city.
The Soda area today has changed a lot since Chen Heng first came.
The wandering tribes, the wild people from the outside world, and even some foreign slaves from the desert, have been gradually digested with Chen Heng's efforts over the years and have been completely integrated into the city in front of him.
This has to be said to be a huge achievement.
At this time, the lord of Soda, the kingdom guardian knight, Kalin, fell into thought in his room.
"Is the message accurate?"
Sitting on his desk, Chen Heng raised his head, looked at the messenger in front of him, and asked seriously.
“It has been confirmed.”
In front of him, the messenger nodded solemnly, confirming that there was no problem with his news.
"Rebellion?"
Recalling the news brought by the messenger, Chen Heng couldn't help but fall into thinking.
After ten years of changes, after a long period of peace, the Kutu Kingdom finally fell into another turmoil.
In the south, it seemed that some lords launched a rebellion, openly opposed the royal family of Kutu, and even blatantly attacked several territories directly under the royal family and took them down.
Faced with this sudden rebellion, Oliman in Kutu City was naturally furious and sent his own army to suppress it, but in the end he was defeated.
The group of rebellious lords were not simple. They were suspected to have the support of the power of the Kingdom of Oris. They not only repelled the troops sent by Oliman, but instead took this opportunity to go further and annex more territory.
Many lords were coerced by him and had to join the rebellion camp and jointly initiated a rebellion against the royal family.
Things happened suddenly.
The sudden rebellion confused everyone, and the failure of Oliman's attempt to suppress also made many people see the weakness of the royal power.
Many lords were ready to move and were still waiting and watching.
But at this critical moment, Oliman was sick.
Not only are he sick, but he also seems to be very serious, and he often falls into a coma and even vomits blood.
The manifestation of this symptom makes people think of the previous generation of Kutu King.
The reason why the previous generation of Kutu King was paralyzed in bed seemed to be because of this disease.
This disease is fine at the beginning, but as time goes by, it will become more and more serious, and in the end it will even affect the spirit and make people unable to take care of themselves.
At this moment, Oliman was suspected of suffering from this disease.
As soon as the news came out, people were immediately panicked.
Unlike the previous generation of Kutu, Oliman has no offspring.
This lack of offspring does not mean that there are really no children, but that there are no legal children.
In fact, it is strange that the way Oliman raises male slaves is not a child of his own.
However, these children born to male slaves are regarded as illegitimate children and do not have the right to inherit the throne of King Kutu.
As long as there is a legal child, there is no one at all.
As Queen Kutu, Oliman had never married, so naturally he had no legal offspring.
According to the rules of this era, without legal offspring, there will be no legal successors.
This is very deadly.
In front of her, the Southern Lord rebelled and when Oliman was ill, she didn't even have a crown prince who could help her stabilize the situation.
The situation was very chaotic for a while.
Looking at the news, Chen Heng knew that Oliman was really in danger this time.
In the Kingdom of Kutu, because of the past Oliman's behavior, many lords were originally quite dissatisfied with her, but they were limited to the situation in the past and dared not express it.
At this moment, the southern rebellion was apart, the royal army was defeated, and Oliman fell ill...
The weakness of Oliman and the royal family was suddenly exposed.
In this case, it is hard to say that those lords who are already very dissatisfied with Oliman will not have any ideas.
In this case, it can be said that a match is lit in a pile of dry firewood, and it will be lit immediately, igniting the flames.
And under this flame, Oliman's situation will become extremely difficult.
Chen Heng thought silently.
After ten years, the current situation has changed a lot from the past.
Oliman's territory has expanded a lot in the past decade.
However, these territories were basically taken from the hands of the original lords. They were just messy and had not received good management. They could not be regarded as power at all. They could only be said to be just a superficial territory.
In recent years, although Oliman has been constantly seizing other people's territory into his own hands through various means, the way to manage the territory is still the same as before, and it is extremely backward.
Faced with an increasingly large and complex territory, with the backward management system, it is impossible to manage well.
Therefore, for Oliman, these newly acquired territories cannot be regarded as power, and to a certain extent, it is still a drag.
The power that truly belongs to her is still the territory she has in the past.
These territories can be roughly divided into the direct territories before she became Queen Kutu, as well as the territories to which the royal family belongs.
The former can probably take out 10,000 people, as for the latter...
According to Chen Heng's estimate, if Auliman really made up his mind and fought with all the power of the royal family, he might have been able to directly pull out 30,000 to 40,000 people from the royal territory in a short period of time.
Of course, the level of this training cannot be guaranteed.
If you do not obtain enough training and supply weapons, you will not be able to have any combat effectiveness.
But if Oliman is given a certain amount of time, she will have the ability to pull out an army.
