las called all the soldiers again before they start the march to take back the entire territory he wanted to test the first musket noz had under him around 100 workers some were his from his forge and other wee given to him but now he had 170 this were all the workers who could make weapons and muskets every one of them was under surveilans most of the blacksmiths had months since they last use metal after all the land couldn't trade and the iron supply wasn't that big
they were able to make 50 muskets in a week with time they would be able to make 900 a week but for now they were very good las had all the iron industry he needed for now
las loaded the first musket in order for the other soldier with muskets to do the same it took them some time las gave his musket to another soldier after showing them how to aim
las "soldiers aim ....... fire " the sound of thunder was heard las Sacrificed 5 armour parts the soldiers with the muskets had closed their eyes when they firedthey looked at the armours
their eyes widen they couldn't speak oliver was near "my lord ...... " he knew [ the cannons are one thing they have many disadvantages but with this weapon every soldier can kill a knight a farmer can get rid of a well trained soldier with this we may be able to .......... rise again as a military power in the north , this is why the lord said that he will not let them just take the land but ,how can we produce so many muskets we don't have so much iron did the lord invented a new mining Technique??? i thing he said something like this , this lord he may be able to do it ]

the azeldian empire is weak it would have fallen by now there are 4 things keeping the empire alive 1 the loyal high lords like the everden 2 the imperial weapon this weapon can only work using blood of the imperial family no one knows what the weapon is but it is known that is very powerful it was last used in the great war so no one knew what it was but every imperial bloodline knew that it was real 3 is the imperial princes and Princesses there are 5 princes and 3 princesses most of them are competent so they were able to keep the empire alive 4 is the emperor the old emperor is wise so he was able to keep the empire but not make it stronger
there are 6 main candidates for the throne the first 4 princes and the 2 first princesses ,the strongest are the 1 and second prince and the 1 princes
the first princess was sent by the emperor in the north west with some of the imperial army to fight barbarians that are raiding in the empire

1 princess catherine " so gentlemen we should start the battle against the barbarians " she looked at her knight in her right "are there any changes in the north "
the woman knight gave a nod " in the north east the first prince made a move "
catherine "hmm what did he did there are only 2 strong families but both of them have taken a side in the battle of succession "
"princess the 1 prince has occupied a city in the helstain viscountcy from there he is taking free cores , the helstain house is weak so they could do nothing but now the prince gave the order to the elberg and orberg families to take land from the helstain , there is something more but we could not find it "
"hmm so he just wants to make his ally stronger even if it costs some prestige for the imperial house he can't do anything i don't need the helstain house they are weak and i can't take the cores "
"we can't do anything about it lets start the battle "
the princess gave a victory to the empire the barbarians were driven off the imperial army was welcomed in the capital as victors with glory

at a village in the east of the capital of the helstain territory ,the rumour about the defeat of the bandits was heard "did you heard the lord got rid of the bandits "
"yes i heard but there is no way its true the nobles won't care about us if they are safe they would let them kill us all "
the village was broken down the houses were half up most of the people were thin the children were starving none of them had shoes the helstain territory in the north is cold many have died from the cold if winter comes half of the people would die
"you are right but its the only hope i heard that we have a new lord he may do something "
"what....what is this sound "
"look there this this is an army "
"the bandits they are coming " everyone started to hide
a child was out of the village he could not reach the village the child bowed "please spare me please please my lord " the army wasn't near the boy but the child knew even if he was able to hide the soldiers would have seen him so the child hoped that mercy will be given
the commander in his horse smiled he had 100 men the order was to take the east back "child what are you doing " the child did not looked up "please spare my life please "
"hahahha " the old commander was laughing "child we are no bandits we are the lords army " the child was surprised "what what " the child looked around there were 100 men all well fed in the same green uniform in a very good line 2 other riders behind the commander were holding the flag of the helstain house
when the child saw the noble flag he froze [did the lord got rid of the bandits ] the commander didn't wait for the child and he order to continue the march
the villagers couldn't hear the mother of the child run to her child no one could hold her back "please please let my child live take me do whatever you want with me just let my child go " while crying the woman was blinded by the love of a mother she could not see the flag the woman hit her face at the ground
the old commander Laughed "hahahaha " he did not speak he raised his hand and the army started to march the woman got confused "what ...." then she realized "this flag is a noble flag " the child touched his mothers shoulders and shouted "mom mom mom the lord we killed the bandits this is the army of the lord "
the child screamed everyone heard this time the villagers spoke "what the lord " "this are soldiers of the lord ??" ""are the bandits dead " "they won't torture us anymore "
