Pseudo-Villaines

Goln Role

The situation was worse than Duke Brandon Eisen had expected. The uprising did not just happen in Nebelhorn City. His opponent had occupied other cities and several important mines that became his source of livelihood.

He could not send his knights there considering Brandon Eisen did not have much power. If there is, he prefers to focus his resources on Nebelhorn City.

News kept coming to him. Three days after the uprising erupted, the rebel rebels who had taken control of the small town had moved towards Nebelhorn City as reinforcements to support the rebels fighting inside the city.

In response to the move, Duke Eisen deployed a group of mercenaries that he had hired at a great price.

The rebels leading to Nebelhorn numbered 2000 while the mercenaries numbered 600. Despite being outnumbered, the mercenaries had the advantage of quality when compared to the untrained and inexperienced rebels.

Actually, there was no guarantee that the mercenaries would win. It could be, they would actually be his opponent if Duke Eisen was not careful. But it's not like he has any other options. After all, Goln had given him some advice.

"We may bet but we have no opportunity to do so. It's better to send in that bunch of mercenaries and put your best Knights to secure the city than to do the opposite."

Duke Eisen made Goln's advice a compass. He took all the advice, even did it. And it does sound reasonable. As a result, resistance in Nebelhorn City was suppressed and all remaining rebels were executed. This is good news for him. He only hoped that the mercenaries he sent did not mess things up.

"Mr Goln, what do I need to do to get the flames of rebellion completely extinguished?"

Goln who was sitting in front of Duke Eisen drank his warm tea. He looked at Duke Eisen's expectant face, then said something seriously.

"Control them with fear. Give all your people a constant terror. That way, no one will dare to fight you."

Duke Eisen basically understood this point. Either way, that's what he's been doing all along. But, what's a really sure way? That is what is now his statement.

"Observe everything. Send your Knights to various places. Make sure no one talks bad about you. If there is, never hesitate to punish them with the heaviness of punishment."

Goln sounded very sharp as he said that. In any case, he felt he had to get Duke Eisen's heart to complete his mission. Duke Eisen was also happy to accept the advice from him.

The two continued the conversation. Until a while later, a member of Duke Eisen's men ran towards them while shouting. This is clearly disrespectful. Duke Brandon Eisen who had a short temper almost attacked this person. However, an emergency has occurred.

"I'm sorry for my disrespect, your majesty! Word has come from a mercenary that they were defeated by the rebels! Now they are walking here and will arrive at Nebelhorn tomorrow!"

Duke Brandon Eisen was immediately enraged upon hearing the news.

"Precious calm. First, you have to kill the mercenary so that he does not wander around and spread this news. Ah, you don't have to silence your men. That's no use. Second, how many of your troops are left in the city?"

Duke Eisen outlined the power he possessed. Goln nodded and gave his advice.

"Then send 100 of your best knights to hold off the rebels. While they are being held, immediately mobilize the population to fight with the rebels."

Goln suggested that the Knights of Duke Eisen use hit and run tactics. After fighting the mercenaries, the number of rebels must have been reduced. There was no way they were at their best right now.

With a sumringah expression, Duke Eisen swallowed the direction of Goln. He immediately ordered his 100 best Knights to ambush the opposing army. After this, he would mobilize the population to dispel the rebels.

The role of Goln is vital at a moment like this.
