WAR FIEF(3)

The Visounty of Breakssex, County of Otilia

The Viscounty of Breakssex is the only viscounty in northern Otilia. It normally has a population of about 3,000 people but that number has now nearly tripled.

The cause can be easily seen from the flag of every group of soldiers that exist.

In addition to the flag belonging to the Nobility of Otilia and the flag of the Visounty of Breakssex, there are several other flags such as from the nobles in the northern region of the County, the Barony of Hackshiled and from the western region in the form of the Visounty of Arlouis and Barony of Enthing.

But of course all those troops are not troops from the regular. It can be said that about 70 s/d 80% are partisans. They were all groups that declared themselves to be liberation forces and loyalists of the Countess.

Similarly, the group that prefers to rebel to the countess of course there are groups that have a sense of loyalty to the countess.

However, this amount was still insufficient to counterattack. Moreover, now politically the nobles of the County of Otilia have been officially divided.

The fall of Revouille City and the loss of the countess, were more than enough for some nobles to declare their loyalty to their new master. Otilia has 2 viscounties and 10 baronies. Among them were five families who defected and declared their allegiance to Peter. Among them are Barony of Pierreuilly, Barony of Ergne, Barony Ducoumont, Barony of Holtown, and Barony of Victurnies.

In addition, there were some other lowly nobles who chose to be neutral. This neutrality certainly causes them to be targeted by both parties.

 But yesterday a messenger came to them carrying a letter containing the arrival of the troops of the Barony of Orbelin and the Barony of Deboville. So that 2 of the remaining 3 nobles chose to support the Otilia side. The Barony of Emileschi was the only area of nobility to declare neutrality.

Moreover, through the same letter, they learned that their Young Miss would return by bringing two great nobles from Fertiphile and Morhust.

The news certainly made the morale of the nobles and military officials to increase.

Gerald Firenze Arlouise, was a viscount of Arlouise. Even though his viscounty had fallen, at least he and his family were able to save themselves. With his life still there is still hope to regain his territory.

As a young viscount, he had proven his loyalty to the countess by still expressing his support and still participating in the war.

Now after the fall of Otilia, he has held the position of deputy supreme commander which means he is the 2nd most influential person, especially after the Viscount of Breakssex was successfully captured by enemy forces.

Gerald was originally a person who strongly opposed the suggestion of escaping from the City of Revouille. But when he saw the countess' condition, he and several other loyal nobles eventually had to flee the night before the assault.

This is a very embarrassing thing. Especially for him who is an eques. Well, Gerald is now the only noble in Otilia other than the countess family who has the eques class.  So that with its rare class makes it have high self-esteem.

He was currently standing in the square to greet their new members.

At least 3,000 additional troops have joined, indicating they now have at least 11,000.

The new troops were from the Barony of Orbelin and the Barony of Deboville.

But what made him even more surprised were the main figures in the group.

"Young Miss ... Viscount Breakssex .. and ...."

Gerald looked at the most eccentric male figure of all. He was a young man with blond hair and armor that looked very expensive. But what surprised him even more was that the man was riding a drake!

Who's the guy? Is he a noble of the Fertiphile? Or maybe Morhust?

Whoever that person is, Gerald is convinced that with such a person on their side, victory is in their hands.

Clotildy could feel a burning spirit from everyone. All of them were people who remained loyal to him and his family.

Now with his appearance as the leader of the army, Clotildy had used her full armor. He used magic armor with a high-class item type.

Clotildy got off her warhorse then followed by the others. Even Regis got off his drake.

All of those people were greeted with great respect by Gerald and the lords present.

"Young Miss, I'm glad you're back, Miss."

"Young Master-no, I mean Lord Arlouise. Thank you for staying faithful and for supporting your mother all this time."

"Miss, you don't have to say thank you. It has become my responsibility."

Clotildy then introduces Alex and Regis to Gerald.

"Master Governor and Oldest Young Master Morhust, this is Lord Arlouise. He is the confidant of Lady Otilia."

"The Oldest Young Master of Morhust and the noble Lord Governor, seeing the majesty of my Master, in the name of the House of Arlouise, I sincerely thank you very much for extending a gift of help to us."

"No problem Lord Arlouise. You deserve my blessings" Regis said.

Eldest Young Master Morhust, Doesn't that mean this man is the de facto leader of the County of Morhust? Then the Governor referred to by Miss ... does that mean a representative of Fertiphile?

Gerald glanced at the face of the man who held the title of Governor. He had never seen this man's face. The man had black hair and red eyes. Besides, his body was as big as a bear. It seems the charisma of Regis has faded this great man.

The man called as Governor also answered very formally.

"As my Lord has said, I have no problem visiting the region of Otilia and conquering it."

Gerald had heard enough about the achievements of Oldest Young Master Morhust but he was completely unaware of the achievements of Governor Fertiphile. As he remembered, Count Fertiphile had three sons. But he did not know the governor who was currently standing before him.

"Lord Arlouise, I heard that the mother has survived, is .. is the mother okay?"

Clotildy asked doubtfully. He was worried about having to hear an answer he didn't want to hear.

"Miss, His Highness the Countess is in a stable state. No need to worry. My Lady is currently resting so order me to welcome the Glory of Your Highnesses."

The burden on Clotildy's mind became lighter after she heard it.

They then entered the mansion. Surely as the owner of the mansion, Viscount Breakssex walked beside the grand nobles.

They arrived at the door of the room from the countess.

"My Lord, Your Highness the Countess has been waiting" said Gerald.

The soldier in charge of escorting the countess opened the door.

Inside the room, the countess was currently sitting on a chair escorted by two knights on the right and left.

Everyone came and saluted the countess.

Afterwards, the peerages nobles like barons and viscounts sat on the wide sofa. While lowly nobles like Victor and Stephen, even grand nobles like Alex, Regis, and Clotildy who still did not have titles just stood firm. As for other ranks such as Sir Otto and commoners such as Barnard automatically kneeled down to pay their respects to the countess.

"Her Majesty the Matriarch, I am Clotildy D'Magnarie Otilia facing the majesty of the Matriarch after carrying out the decree of the Majesty of the Mother."

At this stage, Clotildy tries to be as formal as possible but secretly she observes the condition of her mother.

Euginie still looked beautiful but her face was a little paler than usual. In addition, some of her hair that is blond is now turned white.

"Clotildy baby, I'm so glad you're back safely."

"Mother, I have carried out Mother's orders. Before Mother was standing the great nobles who were the representations of the Fetiphile Family and the Morhust Family."

After Clotildy's words were finished, Alex bowed respectfully before the countess. Although as an archdeus this kind of action is quite embarrassing but he seems to have gotten a little used to at least he does not have to do the worship movement like worshiping the weak gods in the temple.

"Your Majesty My Lady Otilia, I am Alexander Ivanov Fertiphile, Governor of the Fertiphile and conquer it before the Majesty of the Matriarch. As has been decreed by me on behalf of His Majesty the Patriarch of Fertiphile, may His Majesty the Matriarch please accept the oath of friendship from me and my troops."

"Your Excellency Mr. Governor I Countess Eugenie de'Pauline Otilia express my deep gratitude for Mr. Governor's favor. May the relationship of my territory and the Fertiphile region be ever closer to the grace and will of His Majesty's Governor's wisdom."

"His Majesty Matriarch, as you have said, I would also like this."

Eugenie knows Alex. He was the first child of Count Fertiphile. But not too familiar with the footsteps of the achievements of the Governor named Alex. Instead, Alex is told as a controversial child. As a child who came from a swordmaster, Alex's sword skills were often said to be pitiful. But of course Eugenie could not possibly discuss that. Alex's presence has indicated that he and his territory are not at all abandoned by the coalition.

After Alex introduces himself it is Regis's turn. He introduced himself as Alex said.

After the two finished, Euginie once again thanked the two and offered to open the banquet. Alex and Regis don't mind.

Then they came to a pretty important topic.

"Your Majesty the Governor and His Highness Young Master Morhust, I humbly request a helping hand from both of my Lords to assist me and my troops in the upcoming battle. The city of Revouille which was the capital of my county had fallen so I and my troops had to evacuate to the Viscounty of Breakssex. But we realized that we were known and I believe the enemy is on the way to a chase" Euginie said.
