Chapter 528 The coveted governorship
December 28, 1204, Seven Stars Calendar
The Ereponian Civil War, which lasted for two months, finally came to an end with Prime Minister Osborne's sudden "return".
The main reason why the nobles launched war was that the reformists were too radical, which seriously touched the core interests of these noble families.
Since the civil war ended with the advantage of the aristocratic alliance, although both sides agreed to end the draw on the spot, the nobles still received the guarantee from the prime minister's faction.
In the future, the reformists will not continue to press forward step by step to demand that the nobles make earth-shaking changes in a short period of time. Instead, the nobles also need to cooperate with the implementation of the policies promulgated by the central government in their territory.
The main demands were met, and most of the small and medium-sized aristocrats agreed to end the civil war with satisfaction.
The great nobles led by the four famous families held an emergency meeting led by Reinhardt, the commander-in-chief of the Noble Alliance.
Later, with Kane, Haynes and Rogna agreeing to Elbarrea opposing it, three-by-one agreeing to end the two-month civil war with the reformists.
To be honest, Ryan was not very satisfied with the final result of this war, but the crisis in the east was imminent. He could not roll on the ground like the prime minister, using the national crisis as a bargaining chip for negotiations.
This civil war, known as the October War at home and abroad, was completely concluded with the leaders of the two factions shaking hands publicly in Delekels Square.
But the changes brought about by this war to the ancient Herrebonia have just begun.
First of all, there is the change of the reformists. Many officials and consortium presidents who relied on the power of the reformists to act as a prestigious person were restrained by the targeting methods Ryan had when he was in power in the imperial capital.
After returning to his post, Mayor Regniz also continued his previous policy of the provisional government and no longer adopted a tolerant attitude towards large consortiums and disqualified reformist officials.
With the strong intervention of the Judicial Inspectorate, Mayor Regniz, who returned to his post, began to adopt a more fair and just attitude and treat aristocrats and civilians equally.
In addition, due to a series of factors such as work handover and reformist compromise, the Imperial Capital Hall, which was originally completely occupied by the reformist faction, began to introduce noble officials again.
Not only did major changes occur within the reformists, but the aristocratic alliance also began a series of major moves after withdrawing from the imperial capital.
The first thing to bear is Duke Kane, the leader of the noble alliance.
After just shook hands with the prime minister in Delekels Square, Mr. Kane, who returned to Patanguai, immediately announced that he would hand over the throne of the Duke to his eldest son Reinhardt, and he would return home to reflect on himself behind closed doors.
The reason is that it is disrespectful to the royal family. Although this article is not explained in detail, both the aristocratic and the reformists know it well, but they have not informed the public of details.
Soon the noble alliance recognized Duke Kane-Croval's choice. When the congress of next year's territory will be held, Prince Reinhardt will officially take over the throne of duke.
The second thing is to hold accountable to the Duke of Elbarea.
As the son of the dignified duke, Lufas Elbarea actually defected to Prime Minister Osborne, the core figure of the reformist faction. He shamelessly recognized the thief as his father and called himself the leader of the Iron Blood Son.
Under the tough pressure of all the nobles, the Duke of Elbarrea had to announce the abolition of Lufas' inheritance and expel him from the Elbarrea's family.
At the same time, the contemporary head of the family Helmut was also strongly questioned by the Kane family, the Rogner family and the Haynes family.
During the Civil War, countless disarray behaviors were repeatedly defying the orders issued by the command of the noble alliance, and arbitrarily committed the scandal of corrupting the reputation of the nobles. He taught his children in a way that allowed Lufas to join the enemy camp.
Such stupid behavior made most nobles lose trust in Helmut, and even criticism of him within Kluchen State became rampant.
The great nobles led by the four famous families discussed and decided to resign before the official congress of the territory next year, Helmut was ordered to retire, and the second son of the Duke, Euss Elbarea, temporarily took over the position of duke.
Although Helmut expressed strong protests against this, he even provoked some of the Kluchen State leaders who were loyal to him to continue to fight.
However, under the extreme oppression of the Noble Alliance army led by the Fourth Mecha Division and the Brigadier General Wares, the Cuckold finally couldn't twist his arms and humiliatedly agreed to the resolution of the Noble Alliance.
With the end of the civil war, Hereponia finally gradually returned to order, but the uneasiness brought to the people by the destruction of the eastern barrier Garelia Fortress still continued.
The rumors among the people that Kalwade would capture the Crossbel Autonomous Prefecture and invade the empire have never stopped, and this is not a topic deliberately provoked by the two factions. This shows the deep-rooted hatred and hostility of the people of the Erebonians towards Kalwade.
As the public doubts became increasingly fierce, the aristocratic alliance accepted the request of the imperial government.
The elite troops of the noble alliance were led by the Golden Rakshasa Aurelia, and took the flagship Patanguai from the air to cross the Garelia Canyon where the road was blocked, and directly airborne soldiers to the Crossbear Autonomous Prefecture.
In just one day, under the pressure of a large number of mecha soldiers and the main chariot of No. 18, the autonomous prefecture government headed by Mayor McDowell had no choice but to compromise, and the Imperial Army officially entered the city of Closebell.

Under the strong opposition of Liber, Remifilia and other countries, the Ereponian Empire substantially occupied the Crossbel Autonomous Prefecture.
Prime Minister Osborne issued a statement in the imperial capital Heimdal that Crossbeer officially became the territory of the empire. Next month, the first governor of Crossbeer State will take a public oath to determine the ownership of Crossbeer from the procedural basis.
Two months after the end of the civil war, about the changes in the Huangmo City that occurred in the imperial capital, many witnesses subconsciously thought that it was just an illusion, and most people gradually forgot about this matter for a period of time later.
According to Weita, this is the "steel" after the fusion of the two treasures of the empire subconsciously modifying the people's memories.

"It's really troublesome to choose the Governor."
Haidu Ordis, Duke City Pavilion office, Ryan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
Recently, there have been a steady stream of people visiting the Duke of Kane City Pavilion in major nobles across the country. Needless to say, everyone's purpose is Governor Closbeer, a first-class fat neglect.
As an international trade city, Closebell's annual economic output is even basically the same as that of the imperial capital Heimdal.
Once Closebell is officially merged into the empire, how much power and status the governor of this state has... even if you use your legs, you can think of it.
What upset Ryan was that before the end of the Civil War, he originally planned to continue to control the Kane family with his father and go to Closebell as governor.
But former Kane's man Croval suddenly announced his retirement and lived a leisurely retirement life with his mother Sally all day long. Ryan had to drive the ducks to take over the management of the largest territory of the empire, Lamar State.
Logically speaking... Lufas, also the eldest son of the duke, is also a suitable candidate.
But the second-five-child has now been excluded from the aristocratic camp, and it is naturally impossible for the Crossbearer who was taken as a transaction by Osborne to be handed over to him.
"Or..." Miltio saw his brother's headache and asked tentatively, "I'll control Closebell?"
"No." Ryan shook his head and said, "I don't doubt your ability, but you have never appeared in public in the noble alliance, so it is difficult to convince the public. If you choose you in the past, someone will say that you are nepotism behind your back, which will be harmful and unfavorable to the Kane family's continued dominance of the noble alliance."
