In the year 2462 of the glorious calendar, on the third day of the new moon, Silverwood City.
As the capital of the Gray Iron Kingdom, Silver Fir City ranks among the top in the entire federation in terms of prosperity.
On this misty early morning, before it was fully light, the newsboys and vendors on the street had already quickly got up and were selling their goods along the street in the early morning.
A light gray carriage slowly drove into the city gate decorated with holly wreaths. The city guards at the door lazily held their spears and motioned with one hand for them to stop for inspection.
But the driver did not follow the rules. Instead, he took out several gold rose coins and distributed them to several defenders.
So, after confirming that there was 'no danger' on the carriage, the guards waved to let them go, and everything was as peaceful as before.
But this morning, something was different than usual.
On top of the city, when a city guard was drinking from a water bowl, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
The originally calm water surface in the bowl suddenly produced circles of weak ripples!
He paused his lips in confusion and looked up.
Outside the city gate, the mist had dissipated at some point. Under the shining of the morning sun, an endless army of magical constructs suddenly appeared on the plain outside the city!
Those thick shells reflect the cold metallic luster, making people feel chilled all over.
When he saw this sudden construct army, its long-range troops had already opened fire first.
"Gods..."
Looking at the blazing explosion of thousands of bombs flying at high speed in front of him, which almost dyed the sky red, the city guard opened his mouth numbly, and even the water bowl slipped from his hand without realizing it.
Rumble, rumble——
"Enemy! Attack!!"
Accompanied by the shrill siren, a huge gap was opened in the east city gate, and the protective formation only flickered for a moment before completely dimming.
Obviously, the city's defense officials probably received a lot of kickbacks.
.….….
Just as the North Wind Prayer for the New Year Month had just begun this year, a sudden incident shook the entire Yitel Federation.
The incident took place in the Federation's Gray Iron Kingdom, which was a small kingdom located on the west side of the Theberos Mountains and famous for being rich in various magic minerals. It was adjacent to the Kingdom of Laika.
On the third day, several large resistance organizations such as 'Spark', 'Ember', and 'Glory of the Sun' suddenly joined forces and launched a mutiny in the Gray Iron Kingdom under the banner of 'freedom, equality, and resistance to oppression'.
Several major resistance organizations seemed to have been planning for a long time. They sent a large number of elite troops to surround and capture the royal capital and several other large cities in less than half a month.
Although the Kingdom's garrison fought bravely, their equipment lagged far behind the enemy's. Moreover, due to the "old disrepair" of the city defense formation, they were eventually outnumbered, defeated, and fled in all directions.
Except for a few members of the royal family who successfully escaped, most of the nobles and royal family members were captured on the spot, including the king and queen.
Among them, a group of nobles who caused huge public outrage due to excessive taxation were publicly beheaded by the rebels.
At the same time, the great protector of the Gray Iron Kingdom, [Dragon Eyes] Phil Goode, was attacked and besieged by two suspected ninth-level recruits, and was ultimately defeated.
In this incident, many resistance organizations showed strength for the first time that shocked everyone.
He has a large number of elite construction troops under his command, and has captured many large cities almost easily. There are even more than one ninth level behind him, and he is not afraid of the threat of high-level professionals.
After learning the whole story of the fall of the Gray Iron Kingdom, the ruling class of many other small kingdoms similar in size to the Gray Iron Kingdom suddenly had trouble sleeping and eating.
The rebels can easily seize the Gray Iron Kingdom, so if what the Gray Iron Kingdom has faced is repeated in their country, how can their end be any better than that of the Gray Iron Kingdom?
Thinking of this, the senior officials of many small kingdoms suddenly began to frantically order various military-type structures on a large scale.
At the same time, they also began to thoroughly investigate the city defense formations in major cities. While performing timely maintenance, we also eliminated a group of moths that had embezzled city defense funds.
Compared with the violent reactions of many small kingdoms, those of larger kingdoms responded more cautiously.
To them, the strength of the rebels, although alarming, was still within control.
Fortunately, these resistance groups are currently simply united. If they really unified into a super large resistance organization, that would be a real headache.
For this reason, some kingdoms are already preparing to send people secretly to internally divide the cooperation between these organizations. They even instigated them to kill each other on the grounds of unity.
After several resistance groups joined forces to capture the entire Gray Iron Kingdom, everyone in the Federation faced a new problem.
According to the provisions of the Patikalan Covenant, when the ruler of the kingdom changes, the new ruler is eligible to join the federal assembly.
But when this rule was originally made, no one could have imagined that a kingdom would be captured by a so-called 'civilian resistance organization'.
Therefore, how to deal with the current situation of the Gray Iron Kingdom has caused many councilors to face difficulties.
After taking over the management of the entire Gray Iron Kingdom, several major resistance organizations did not immediately continue to expand outwards. Instead, they prepared to send representatives to join the federal parliament like other ordinary kingdom regime changes.
This is a very clever move. Making this gesture is equivalent to sending a signal that the rebels also intend to play according to the rules of the game instead of going against the Federal Parliament.
Therefore, according to the Patikalan Agreement, the rebels' seizure of power is theoretically a private matter within the kingdom and is protected by rules, and the federal parliament cannot intervene at will.
At the same time, this is also to appease the top leaders of other kingdoms and let them know that they will also abide by the Patikalan Agreement and prevent other kingdoms from joining forces in advance out of fear and destroying them at all costs.
After capturing the Gray Iron Kingdom, several resistance groups temporarily quieted down and began to gradually digest the gains from this battle.
At the same time, they also started internal voting to elect a federal member to join the parliament.
Among the people in the Gray Iron Kingdom, many civilians who were originally worried that they would be robbed suddenly found that their lives were much easier.
Since several resistance groups sent security teams to each other, they strictly restricted each other's subordinates from disturbing the people.
Not only did the feared looting not occur, even after the resistance organization came to power, a number of tax exemption policies were temporarily implemented, and commercial taxes were also reduced to an extremely low level.
For a time, many newspapers reported the matter, which attracted the attention of many people.
At the same time, sensing business opportunities, many chambers of commerce sent people to the Gray Iron Kingdom. While bringing in a large amount of people's livelihood resources, they are also acquiring high-value materials such as artworks that were seized by the rebels, but there are no suitable channels and it is not convenient to handle them.
Due to the reduction of trade taxes and tariffs, these bold merchants made a lot of money for a while.
