The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 55

Earl of Sauron Angrus's governance of Georgia is obviously not as easy as Yuri's governance of Savannah.

Savannah is just a city, and there are not many surrounding towns, but Georgia is an entire colonial state, and there is not only one nobleman, the Sauron family, here!
And Angrus wants to unify all the armed forces in Georgia, so he will naturally deprive those small and medium-sized nobles and large manor owners of private guards.

Savannah is a trading city, and there are very few manor owners and nobles here, so Yuri's reform did not offend too many people's interests and went very smoothly.

But Georgia is dominated by large manor owners and small and medium-sized nobles, and Earl Sauron's behavior naturally aroused their dissatisfaction.

The most important thing is that Earl Sauron's rebellion is based on tax cuts and freedom, mainly for the interests of the bourgeoisie and ordinary civilians.

At least that's what the slogan says.

Since Earl Sauron chose to rebel, he naturally could not act as an aristocrat. After all, the title of nobility was entrusted by the British Empire, and rebelling against Earl Sauron as an aristocrat had no foothold at all.

Therefore, it can only seek self-reliance in the name of the Governor's Mansion.

Originally, if Earl Sauron just rebelled and became self-reliant, the manor owners and small and medium-sized nobles in Georgia would be nothing more than just watching a show, and they could just stay in the middle.

But now Angrus began to extend his hand to all the chaotic armed forces in Georgia, seriously infringing on the interests of small and medium-sized feudal nobles and manor owners.

This is the bane left by tradition.

In order to maintain balance in the thirteen colonial states in North America, the British Empire entrusted minor nobles under the great nobles to disperse the rights of the great nobles.

Like the municipal council, it is used to check and balance the governor general.

Even if these colonial nobles are just a baron, they have the right to form their own family guard, but the scale is limited.

Now that Angelus has issued an order to deprive them of their family guards, these people are naturally unwilling.

What's more, Angrus was deprived of it when he rebelled.

This gave the small and medium-sized nobles and manor owners the confidence to resist.

The environment where the colonists were full of armed mobs provided sufficient sources of soldiers for the small and medium-sized nobles and manor owners in Georgia.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as Angrus' reforms were launched, there appeared in Georgia a coalition of small and medium-sized aristocratic manor owners, loosely armed under the banner of being loyal to the counter-insurgency forces of the British Empire.

This armed force quickly elected an aristocratic lord with little real power, and then led a loose coalition to fight against the Sauron Legion.

In this way, the civil war in Georgia broke out in full swing!
After Yuri heard the news, his first reaction was not horror, but excitement!

There is another battle to fight!

Coincidentally, the safety period for the game trial is approaching.

As a result, the Savannah government established by Yuri completed the war mobilization as quickly as possible, which was to pull out the security team.

Then Yuri left about half of the Iron Guards in Savannah and handed them over to Bismarck to command them, to frighten the young people in Savannah, while he brought a security regiment of 2000 people and the artillery regiment with only a dozen cannons. , and about half of the Iron Guards and a hundred Kujit Lancers marched towards the rebel lair.

However, Yuri received a letter from his father as soon as he led his troops out of less than a hundred miles.

The battle between the main rebel forces in Georgia and the Sauron Legion ended in a big defeat. The rebel lair in Georgia was occupied by the Sauron Legion, and the entire Georgia rebel army scattered into sand.

Some nobles surrendered unconditionally to the Sauron family, while the remaining recalcitrants scattered into the countryside and mountain jungles to persist in the war of resistance, hoping to wait until the main force of the British army entered Georgia to suppress the rebellion.

Yuri never expected that the huge civil war in Georgia would end so quickly!

But in addition to this good news, there is also bad news coming at the same time.

After the news of Georgia's self-reliance spread, the capitalists in the northern states did not launch a rebellion as promised, and still maintained the previous situation.

In other words, the Sauron family was put together by those unreputable northern capitalists.

What is even more disturbing is that the British Empire did not mobilize counter-insurgency troops from the mainland at all. Instead, it convened local militias and a small number of standing troops in thirteen states in North America, preparing to go south into Georgia to counter-insurgency.

South Carolina, in the north of Georgia, has even begun to fortify the border. The regular army alone has more than 2 people, and the number of militias cannot be counted at all...

As a result, the Sauron family became the real leaders. In the entire thirteen states of North America, only the Sauron family launched a rebellion and became the target of public criticism.

As for the slogan shouted by the Sauron family, it has received support from many people. However, this slogan is limited by the communication technology of this era and is only circulated in Georgia. The civilians in South Carolina have no idea about Georgia. Rebellion is 'pleading for the people'.

Obviously, the propaganda slogans made up by the Sauron family didn't have much effect.

The British colonial authorities in thirteen states in North America compiled a set of conspiracy theories that the Sauron family was full of ambitions and wanted to split the British colonies and establish themselves as kings.

The theoretical basis released by the British colonial authorities is very realistic, and they accurately guessed the strategic purpose of the Sauron family...

Whether it is Yuri or Angrus, launching a rebellion has nothing more than one purpose-to become king!
Angrus is a pure careerist, while Yuri is trying to integrate more indigenous forces to cope with the increasingly difficult game trials in the future to save his life.

"So, father asked me to lead troops to attack Charleston?"

Yuri took back the letter in his hand and asked the messenger.

"Yes, Master Yuri, the Governor said that the current situation is very unfavorable to us. We must seize the time to defeat South Carolina, otherwise we will have no chance of winning when the British army in the north is assembled."

"Well, I see."

After Yuri dismissed the messenger, he sat alone in a chair and fell into deep thought.

Charleston is the capital of South Carolina and the largest external port city in South Carolina.

Charleston is more developed than the port of Savannah, and it is not only a trading port, but also an important British naval port.

The British army in Charleston is much stronger than the British army in Savannah...

Naturally, Charleston, as the core of South Carolina, is the key place for South Carolina to deploy. According to the situation obtained by the Sauron family, half of South Carolina's regular army is used to guard Charleston.

This has not counted the number of local militias!
In other words, to enter Charleston, Yuri must defeat at least [-] regular colonial troops...
