Chapter 137: Outcome of the Rebellion
The rebellion of Marquis Eiger.
Or… the rebellion known as “One Day of Treason” or “Day of Radiant Punishment” has come to an end.
The Royal Army numbered 100,000.
Supreme Commander is Crown Prince Richard Iwood. Vice Commander is Marquis Iljass Catreya, leader of the Knights.
The Rebel Army numbered 70,000.
Officially led by the Third Prince Rodel Iwood. De facto leader was Marquis Berlio Eiger.
There were rumors of Imperial Army involvement, but evidence only showed a few Imperial mercenaries among the rebels.
Royal Army casualties: 400 dead, 850 wounded.
Rebel Army casualties: 12,500 dead, over 30,000 wounded, countless dispersed soldiers.
Third Prince Rodel Iwood.
Center figure of the Queen Dowager’s faction, Marquis Berlio Eiger.
And… a commander from the Empire who fought incognito without revealing his identity.
With the defeat of the leaders who orchestrated the rebellion, the largest internal conflict since the founding of the Iwood Kingdom has been quelled.
The result was a decisive victory for Crown Prince Richard’s Royal Army.
Unbelievably, the rebellion ended in half a day given the scale of the battle.
With the death of Marquis Eiger, the noble factions of the Queen Dowager surrendered one after another.
The Marquis’s estates also surrendered without resistance, swiftly falling under royal occupation.
News of the victory spread quickly to the capital and throughout the kingdom.
Prominent among those who gained fame in this battle was first and foremost the commander, Crown Prince Richard Iwood.
Known for his earnestness and mild temperament, the Crown Prince had previously been an unremarkable member of the royal family without notable achievements.
However, this overwhelming victory has now established him as a skilled military leader, bringing relief to many citizens about the stability of the kingdom’s future.
Next was his vice commander, Marquis Iljass Catreya.
Originally renowned as the leader of the Knights, he was already known as the strongest warrior in the kingdom.
In this war, he defeated Marquis Eiger, his long-standing adversary, and gained renown as a “War God” even beyond the kingdom’s borders.
And… the dark horse. In a sense, the one who gained the most fame was the emerging nobleman, Viscount Rest Clover.
Originally from the commoner class, this young man splendidly led the charge against the rebel army, and notably defeated Rodel Iwood, who had become the rebels’ figurehead.
While Rodel’s involvement with the rebellion was not officially disclosed, Rest’s heroic deeds were attested to by all soldiers who fought alongside him.
His exploits were so grandiose and reminiscent of tales that some nobles openly scoffed at them as blatant propaganda.
Meanwhile, commoners found joy in seeing a young hero rise from their ranks, and tales of Rest’s bravery spread widely.
Many other heroes emerged from this rebellion, sweeping away the old-minded nobles who served the Queen Dowager in politics.
Nobles who supported the rebellion, including Marquis Eiger, were stripped of their lands and wealth and ousted.
All ringleaders were executed, and members of families not involved in the rebellion were demoted to commoner status.
Thus, the elders who had clandestinely controlled politics since the time of the Queen Dowager were eradicated, and the Iwood Kingdom ushered in a new era.
