No one could have predicted that [Cult Of Savior] would cause chaos in Krakov. Not with the royal family, not with Duke Cetner, nor with the church. They all did not expect that this crazy cult would carry out a massive terror.
Each of the three factions carried out inspections to find out how much damage had occurred and how much of a death toll. Their records are different. But there is one thing in common. The number of people killed is above 1000!
Duke Ankwicz and Duke Cetner had exerted their strength to prevent this news from coming out of the capital. However, no one thought that this news had reached the two great powers that directly border the kingdom of Warsaw. [Empire of Riga] and [Kingdom Of Wallachia]. This news has also reached the ears of the Principality of Danzig authorities.
The Riga Empire and the Wallachian kingdom were smart enough to hold back. At most they did just put more of their military might on their respective borders.
But the Principality of Danzig sees no reason not to take advantage of this opportunity. Seven days after the chaos in Krakov, Duke Danzig's 5000 troops crossed the Northern border and immediately took control of Konarski's viscount territory.
It didn't take long for them to conquer the territory and make viscount Konarski flee to Krakov. Of course he asked Duke Cetner for help to take back his territory. Duke Cetner refused.
Even so, Duke Ankwicz sent his troops to retake Konarski territory. Carrying 15,000 soldiers, he managed to liberate Konarski territory and expel the Principality of Danzig back to their country.
"Duke Ankwicz's actions made Konarski's viscount's view of Duke Cetner waver. His allies were reluctant to help but his enemy was happy to provide assistance to free his territory. The balance of power will change again."
Jean stared at the pieces on the chessboard and moved them from one column to another. He doesn't play chess with anyone. At least physically.
"The assessment of the Riga empire and the kingdom of Wallachia has changed. The fall of Konarski territory into the hands of a small country like Danzig made the value owned by the Warsaw kingdom fall. Isn't that right, ma'am?"
Behind Jean, the waitress stood carrying a tray. He walked over to Jean's side and put down a cup of warm drink. It's cold tonight.
Jean enjoyed a glass of warm wine mixed with the honey solemnly. Tastes delicious. As expected of servants, they were required to be all-rounders. However, Jean laughed a little. Of course, he laughed at his servant.
"Hey, this kind of poison is not enough to kill me. You've got to find another way to get rid of me."
"Well, miss the waiter. You know why for about 100 years, the central Akkadian region has been relatively peaceful without large-scale warfare?
"Simply put, because the [Balance of power] is well preserved. Each of the kingdoms and nobles strengthened their military and economic power to dominate each other.
"But what happens when that balance begins to collapse? What happens when one of the dominating great powers loses its fangs?"
It seems that the servant has a good understanding of international politics. There is only one conclusion. The big mess is coming. Wars that kill many lives will happen. And that's inevitable.
The Riga Empire and the Wallachian kingdom would seek to become the sole dominant power in the central region. And in order for that goal to be achieved, there is no other way but war. Destroy and destroy each other to reach the top.
The attack on Krakov and the Principality of Danzig's invasion of the kingdom of Warsaw as well as their inability to counteract all of those attacks were very clear signals for the Riga empire and the Wallachian kingdom. The influence of the Warsaw kingdom was already weakening and internal divisions in their bodies were becoming more and more inevitable.
The cold weather ran to the back of the servant. Just 'cause.... Just because of this one person, everything will change! Slowly but surely, the stability and peace that has been established for hundreds of years will collapse and the era of upheaval in the central Akkadian region will soon arrive.

While slowly the political balance is increasingly changing, Krakov city arguably the arrival of a new hero. Well, the new heroes are Jeanne and Svetlana. Thanks to them, the falling victims can be reduced.
Not that Jeanne and Svetlana get any awards or anything. But clearly, their existence was highly respected by the residents of the city.
They began to look at the two like the Goddess of the savior from the destruction. It didn't get to the cult. But such respect is something that the mother and the child deserve.
Jeanne and Svetlana don't know about this yet. The gears began to move. They have been appointed as actresses by the director in this bloody drama.
