After the signing of such a treaty, the troops of the Bazaran Kingdom retreated ten kilometers faithfully, but they did not immediately return to their territory because they were on their land at this time.

　　 After staying in place for three days, the troops of the Bazaran Kingdom began to withdraw to their original territory.

　　 After this war, the territory of the Bazaran Kingdom has tripled. The originally small country has become much broader, and their war potential has also been greatly strengthened beyond the first time.

　　 But for the empire, the land has decayed by more than one million square kilometers in a few years. The most important thing is that the northern and northern royal lords separated from the empire and declared independence.

　　 The territories in the west have been invaded again, and more than one-fifth of the country's territory has disappeared.

　　 After the troops of the Bazaran Kingdom evacuated, the coalition forces also began to pack their camps and head towards the imperial capital.

　　 Also accompanied by the lords of the West, who lost their territory in this war, many lords chose to abandon the castle when facing the enemy, waiting for the rescue of the army of the imperial capital.

　　 They originally thought that the empire could help them regain their territory, but who knew it would end up like this in the end.

These lords expressed their opposition when they signed the treaty, but unfortunately, they had no right to speak after losing their army, land, and all their wealth. After the Earl of Redmara issued a series of empty checks, they had to Choose to obey.

　　 Count Redmara compensated for finding a fief elsewhere for them, temporarily suppressing the dissatisfaction of the lords of the West.

　　 Now that the treaty has been signed, these lords naturally want to follow the army back to the imperial capital, and they still want to get territory.

　　 At this time, Count Redmara was worrying, he was riding on the horse and stroking his beard subconsciously.

　　Where can I find territory for these western lords at this time? Although the empire did not suffer a big defeat, it did not expand its territory, and there was no extra land to be allocated to this group of people.

　　 It is no longer possible for the upstarts to give them land. Count Redmara knew that this group of Xingyi belonged to Paixiu, and he did not support it.

　　Don't even think about taking out the money when it reaches their hands, let alone the land more important than gold coins. They will never give out even one meter of land to the lords of the West.

　　On the way back, the lords of the West, who had not lost their land, hosted a banquet to entertain the lords of the coalition army. Although they were very enthusiastic on the surface, their confidants were extremely disappointed with the imperial army who had lost their land.

　　 Most of the aristocratic classes are related to each other, so they feel uncomfortable when their relatives’ land is ceded out, and at the same time they are even more dismissive of the authority of the empire.

　　The most important oath between the prince and the vassal is that you pay loyalty. I protect you and your family. Now that even the territory has been ceded out, this oath has been broken.

　　 The lords of the Western Territory were not diehard loyalists of the royal family. Otherwise, they would not choose to rebel before. The royal family still had great strength before. After defeating the southern rebels, they chose to renew their allegiance.

　　 But now the royal family is already too weak to protect them, so this group of people already have other ideas in their hearts.

　　 It took more than a month, and the coalition forces finally returned to the imperial capital from the west.

　　 At the same time, news of the signing of a land cessation treaty spread throughout the imperial capital. Although the Bazaran Kingdom publicly apologized and admitted its mistakes, the loss of interest can tell who won the war.

　　 Queen prepared a sumptuous banquet in the conference hall of the Tska Palace to welcome the returning lords.

　　 At the banquet, we talked very happily, and the Queen Haosheng comforted the lord of the West who had lost her land and promised to pay compensation.

　　 For the lords of the Kingdom of Bukerdern, it is also directly stated that they will abide by the stipulated provisions of the treaty to pay military remuneration and exempt the merchants of the Kingdom of Bukerdern from tariffs.

　　 After making so many promises, all the people present were naturally full of joy. The scene was very enthusiastic. King Sartli and the queen were so affectionate with their fathers and daughters, and could not see any unpleasantness.

　　 But when Count Redmara saw the queen after the banquet, her face was full of sadness.

　　 "Are you here?" Seeing that it was Count Redmara, the queen greeted her gently, and then continued to restore her silence.

　　 "I'm sorry... I failed to protect the interests of the West..." Count Redmara put his hand on the queen's shoulder and said with a sigh.

Listening to Count Redmara’s self-blaming words, the queen took his hand, patted softly, and said, “You can’t blame you, we...our strength is too weak, Buckard The Kingdom of Grace is my home country, and I know where the army is and what kind of virtue!"

　　 "It is very rare for you to be able to maintain an undefeated situation, we...what did we do wrong? Now we are all weaker and weaker, not to this level..."

　　 "Yeah... when did it start?" Red Malabo was actually lost in thought.

　　 is from a year ago? Two years ago? Or when the royal family is suppressed? Or was it the rebellion in the South?

　　 Can't remember, Count Redmara can't remember.

　　 Could it be that Duke Rainer unified the northern border?

　　 In a blink of an eye, Count Redmara threw this idea behind his head. He pulled out a chair and sat down and asked: "How is our condition during this period of time? I mean the state of the treasury!"

"The state of the treasury is still good!" At this point ~lightnovelpub.net~ a rare smile appeared on the queen's face. She fiddled with her handkerchief and said, "Although the northern border is independent, they have not cut off the deal with us. However, the transaction volume of wool cloth, sugar and low-priced wine, which are unique to the northern border, has increased. In addition, the autumn agricultural tax has been collected. In addition, taxes from various places have been sent to the imperial capital, and our finances have been obtained. Great relief!"

　　 "There are now 50,000 gold coins in the treasury. What do you think we should use this money for?" The queen looked at Count Redmara with a probing look and asked.

"Of course... to form a new army, only our own army!" Count Redmara didn't hesitate at all. Now the royal family can dispatch too few troops, even if you count the defenders everywhere, add up. There are only nearly 10,000 people.

　　 And those defenders have to guard every important pass. They cannot be used unless they are absolutely necessary. Therefore, the royal family can only use less than 3,000 regular troops.

　　 Count Redmara knew that in order to guarantee the authority of the royal family, he must regain a strong military force, so that everyone would dare not act rashly.

　　 Actually, the current form of the empire is far from the intricate and difficult to reform at the end of the dynasty.

　　On the contrary, in addition to the erosion of the lords in various places, the empire has clean governance and high taxes. Therefore, Earl Redmara has enough confidence to rejuvenate the royal family.
