Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 479 The Governor's Rebellion

After three years of construction, the North has undergone tremendous changes compared to the barbaric state when Perfectoct first arrived.

Whether it is the newly-built capital of Chernobog or the prosperous port of Beloberg, both have developed into large cities that are no less impressive than the empire's homeland.

Although it is unable to reach the prosperity of the empire's mainland due to various objective factors, each city itself can be said to be thriving.

Especially as the end of the world approaches, a large number of nobles, wealthy businessmen and other dignitaries in the empire have moved to the north, causing the only two cities in the north to instantly usher in an unprecedented wave of prosperity.

After all, these nobles and wealthy businessmen who immigrated here needed to buy real estate and settle their businesses, which always cost money.

As a result, many industries were spawned due to the demand, which indirectly stimulated the economic prosperity of the North.

Although the end of the world is approaching, many people feel inexplicably calmed down by the prosperity of the North, and feel that the empire will definitely survive this disaster.

After all, this is the confidence of the world's most powerful country, isn't it?

When talking about the prosperity of the Victoria Empire, even the beggars in the city of Langton would puff out their chests with pride.

Although Victoria's prosperity has nothing to do with the beggars in Langdon, the improvement of the quality of life of the lower-class people in the North is closely related to the prosperity of the city.

At least under the policies formulated by Perfectcott, the lower-class people in the North can basically have enough food and clothing, and with the various industries spawned by the prosperity of the city, they can also find a job to support their families.

This undoubtedly made many people grateful to Perfectaker, the Earl of the North. Countless people even prayed to the All-Father in the newly built church, asking the All-Father to bless Perfectaker so that she could continue to bring a happy life to the people of the North.

In fact, it was not just the lower-class people in the North who thought so. Even most of the nobles and wealthy businessmen had similar ideas after arriving in the North.

Perhaps some of them suffered losses or had their relatives and friends killed because of what happened in Perfectok before, but most of them knew what was good for them. They understood clearly that at this critical moment when the end of the world was approaching, only the northern border of Perfectok could protect them.

There are people who are truly hostile to Perfect because their lives have been greatly affected... I can't say there aren't any, but they are a minority after all, and under the regulations and constraints of various policies in the North, they can basically do nothing.

For Perfecto herself, accommodating such opposition was no big deal to her.

In general, although Perfecto's support rate in the North did not reach the level of unanimous approval, at least more than 70% of the people supported her, including nobles, wealthy businessmen, ordinary civilians, and the Northern Army under her own control.

And this was despite the influx of immigrants such as the Empire's nobles and wealthy businessmen, which diluted the original support for Perfectot among the northern people.

So you can imagine how much of a sensation it caused when the news that Perfecto was attacked by rebels while negotiating with the revolutionary army in the New World colonies reached the North.

Almost immediately after receiving the news, the Northern Army took action. One infantry regiment took a train directly to the New World colonies, and three more regiments were gathering and would also march to the New World colonies one after another.

The White Bear and Iron Fire Knights also quickly assembled. Except for leaving a flag team behind to guard the house, all the knights boarded the airship and rushed to where Perfectot was as soon as possible.

The northern airship fleet also assembled at this time, loading the thermobaric bombs that had just been produced in the factory into the bomb bays, and then, led by the Behemoth, which had carried out the mission of bombing the capital of France, it arrived directly at the capital of the New World colony, New Shock City, the next day, and began to warn the residents, making preparations for an imminent bombing.

The reason why the Behemoth and the airship fleet went to New Shak City with thermobaric bombs was because the rebels who attacked Perfectoct were the colonial garrison originally formed by the Governor of the New World to quell the rebellion of the revolutionary army.

After being scolded by Perfect, the ambitious governor quickly guessed that Perfect was going to deal with him, so he took a risk and decided to strike first.

He had the forces of five newly formed regiments at his disposal, and he put all of them on the line this time. He accused Perfecto of colluding with the Revolutionary Army and betraying the Empire, claiming that her peace talks with the Revolutionary Army were a betrayal of the Empire's interests.

For the sake of the empire, he wanted to eliminate these traitors who betrayed the interests of the empire and suppress the riots of the revolutionary army.

The attack was indeed sudden. When Perfecto was attacked, he had already left the city of Stansor where he was negotiating with the revolutionary army and returned to Major General Richard's base. Besides two steam knight flags and a team of flying knights, he was only protected by a not fully staffed guard regiment.

In terms of military strength, Mr. Governor actually has a certain advantage in this attack.

It's just a pity that the gap in combat power between the colonial garrison and the Guards forced Major General Richard to command his understaffed Guards Regiment, with the assistance of a team of steam knights, to suppress the three rebel infantry regiments and even repel them at one point.

As for the other two rebel infantry regiments? They wanted to join the battle, but the battlefield was so small that the two infantry regiments could not be deployed and could only be used as reserves.

Thus, the governor's rebels' only advantage was offset.

If we cannot win quickly, then the attack will lose its meaning.

Not to mention that Perfecto had an airship by her side that could pick her up at any time, the steam knights and flying knights around her alone were not something that the five newly formed infantry regiments could resist.

Don't forget, in the experiment conducted by the Victoria Empire back then, five steam knights crushed an entire guard infantry regiment.

Although a team of steam knights stayed with Perfect to protect her safety, by the time the airship and the flying knights joined the battle, this sudden battle had already entered garbage time.

Not to mention that one day later, an airship fleet carrying sixteen flag teams from the White Bear and Iron Fire Knights arrived at the battlefield.

In the end, the rebels of the five infantry regiments were completely crushed by seventeen steam knight flags with a total of more than two hundred steam knights, and the governor himself was captured alive by the flying knights. The whole rebellion was like a farce.
