Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Civil War Rampage
Two weeks after the talks between Marina and Issac took place, a revolt actually took place in the Garlin kingdom. No longer able to withstand the tyranny of Boabdil, they immediately moved the strength they had accumulated before.
The rebel forces are based in a town called Chorm. At first it was just a small village a few years ago. But when the anti-Boabdil faction decided to make this place their base, this place became a fairly advanced city.
Boabdil himself did not take action. He tried to get rid of anyone who opposed him in various ways. Mostly by violence. He did this before he even became king.
Massacres, murders, and plunder. Even if he is not responsible for it, Boabdil is still said to be guilty of not stopping the crimes of his subordinates.
Rebel forces, with their army of more than 60,000, began to conquer several Pesa buffer areas. They intend to make our true base before invading the capital.
Of course Boabdil did not remain silent. With his army of about 80,000, he attempted to retake the fallen cities. In short, a very bloody war took place.
When they were busy fighting, without anyone realizing it, from above the sky some crows were flying. They're watching everything.

"This magic is very comfortable. We can observe everything calmly from this place."
"Yes. Originally this was a personal magic belonging to the master of Issac. But a team of researchers from the royal magic institute that was formed a few years ago is developing this magic for the public good.
"What we are now using is a prototype that they have managed to make. Its use is still very difficult and requires a very large mana. However, if it is consistent, soon this magic can be used by many people."
From his work office, Marina and Rena were watching what was going on in the Garlin kingdom.
Marina's staff was busy doing many things. For them, the civil war that took place in the Garlin kingdom was a very surprising thing because it happened so suddenly.
"If the anti-Boabdil faction were to lose, wouldn't we benefit from this?"
Rena sounded a little complaining but Marina had another opinion.
"Whoever wins and who loses is not important to us. The kingdom's goal is to intervene in civil war when the time comes. Before the victor or loser was decided, Garlin's kingdom would completely fall into the hands of Heinz's kingdom. That's what Issac asked for."
While they were busy fighting each other, the royal army started to move. As many as 60,000 trained soldiers have been sent to the border and await orders from the capital.
As soon as the order came down, they would break through the Garlin border region that was now neglected due to the civil war.
"Issac had no intention of siding with any of the factions. In his eyes, the crime of anti-Boabdil and Boabdil itself is the same. They also did things that were not much different from what Boabdil and his princes did.
"In order to gather strength, they seized the property of the common people, forced them to join their faction without knowing anything, and threatened the safety of their lives.
"No matter how it will be, Issac intends to destroy both of them. He would not allow people like them to live in the land of the kingdom of Heinz."
Marina understood what Issac was thinking. At least a little. That's what made Issac choose him for this task. Incidentally, Marina also had the same opinion as Issac.
"Rena, give the soldiers sweets. Before they enter the battlefield, as local rulers we have an obligation to support their morals."
Rena nodded and immediately carried out her duty. He would order as many sweets as he could for the soldiers and encourage them all before conquering the Garlin kingdom completely.
One week later, the orders from the capital dropped and 60,000 soldiers had entered the Garlin kingdom without any meaningful resistance.
