No one listened to the compulsory summons call to the army except those that bear the family name.
As for the rest of the citizens and small families in the lands of the two families, they completely ignored it, with even those who were already serving in the standing army began to escape in one way or another!
They said it wasn't their fight as began to look forward to the day when they would become vassals of the Burton family...
The economic renaissance that took place in the city of Jura and the surrounding lands were not hidden from anyone.
The Burton family lands are heaven Where no one sleeps hungry.
The two families didn't like that very much and started dispatching troops to the near cities to force the recruiting process but they were met with riots instead and many died in the process!
Losing hope in them and not wanting to exhaust their current army before the Burtons arrive, they gave up on them, while starting to toss out promises and threats about what will happen after the calamity is over
As for all their allies and friends from the other noble families, they refused to send in support as well, not one soldier arrived to help...
Had this happened before helped them no doubt, actually, they already made preparation to support the Tawi family when they though the Burtons are coming for them before, and was ready to go all in with their allies
but after testing the Burton family's real power against the three armies of Lying Water Kingdom? After they became national heroes? No thank you.
The royal family also replied that this was a personal matter that had nothing to do with them, and if they are really traitors that didn't help then they deserve it!
and this was the straw that broke the camel's back...
Meanwhile, Saint David and his army have already reached the lands of the Tawi family, and a day later Patriarch Brian also reached the lands of Marquess Rufus, and they began to directly pass through all the castles and cities on their way.
If this had happened earlier, Everyone living in these lands would have stepped up to defend with all their might so that a foreign army would not enter their lands and shame them, every city and every fortress would have attacked using whatever they have to slow down the invasion...
but not this time, most cities welcomed the Burton family's army by throwing roses instead of arrows
,m especially Saint David's army who was attacking the Tawi family, he wasn't like Patriarch Brian who seemed to love collecting Cities along his way and would often go side ways, Saint David Burton was keeping a straight line with a quick march right towards the Tawi headquarter at their main City!
Seeing that the invasion was serious and that no one came to the rescue, the two families sent messengers to negotiate with David and with Patriarch Brian...
But all the messengers were killed.
The response was too direct... The Burton family did not come for lands, taxes, or punishments, They came to kill.
Under the banner of victory or death, the saints and knights of the two families led sporadic and swift attacks on the two incoming armies with the intention of exhausting them, but the presence of the Fire and Wind Knights notified this plan completely and even reversed it against them after many of their Knights ended up being killed in every attack.
On the fourth day of the invasion, Marquess Tawi assembled an army of 50,000 soldiers, 90% of whom were surnamed Tawi, and headed to meet the Burton troops that are approaching the capital of his lands.
Although it is considered a suicidal move to march with such a small army to battle the Burtons, which were already famous for being specialized in destroying armies much larger than their own, it was not in his hand,
even the savage mercenaries that are greedy for gold all the time refused to join him!
Now all he could count on were the 13 Saints in his family and his personal strength as a level 29 Saint...
But his dreams were smashed to pieces after a quarter of an hour from the start of the battle, the Burton family's army was simply too strong for them to handle...
The fifty thousand of his soldiers surrendered almost immediately after the Fire Knights began to move and killed a few thousand of them
Then they went on and attacked the Tawi family's knights and saints directly, killing most of them using their teamwork and the overbearing might of the three major heavenly law techniques, and using the level 25 Saint David as the head of the spear against the other enemy saints
but unfortunately, the Marquess himself, two other high-leveled Saints, three middle-leveled saints, and a few high-leveled knights managed to escape before they were completely besieged.
Saint David and his army did exactly what Robin asked and even some more... a legendary crushing victory with no losses.
in this battle, no talismans were used!
The Tawi family, which has maintained their position for thousands of years as a Marquess family... is no more
The family that looked at everyone with disdain, The family that attacked and seized a large piece of the Burtons' lands twenty years ago without needing a reason other than they were stronger... has completely fallen in four days
And without the shedding of a drop of blood or the loss of a single gold coin worth of equipments or talismans.
---------------------------------
The news of the conquest of the Tawi family, which was described as unique in history, spread like wildfire.
The elimination of a huge Marquess family, as if they were walking for a picnic...
Another legend was added to the military achievements of the Burton family, and their image blazed in front of everyone even more
But the sons of the Rufus family did not receive the news the same way as the others...
Every word they heard about this matter sounded like a death sentence.
Especially the news that says that all those who bear the name of the Tawi family were sent to work in the mines or to be sold in the slave markets!!
The position of the Rufus family at present was not much better, even though Patriarch Brian has only 70,000 soldiers and still has not reached the heart of their capital yet...
so far they have only been able to assemble 60,000 soldiers, and their morale was already extremely low before, then what morale to speak off right now after this news?!
When they lose the inevitable loss... will they be treated the same?!
But the animosity between the Burton family and the Tawi family is well known and justified. It can be said that the Tawi family started bullying twenty years ago and killed tens of thousands of the Burtons, they basically halved their number back then! and some could even say that they deserve what happened.
but what about them?
What did the Rufus family do to deserve this fate?
And one day after the news of the downfall of Marquess Tawi, when everyone's morale was at its lowest point, Marcus Tawi personally arrived in their main family city with a few saints and a handful of knights...
He decided that this would be his last stronghold and came to fight with them to the last breath, Perhaps a miracle will happen after uniting the powers of the upper icons
Marquess Maximus Rufus took advantage of this high level of support and went out to address his soldiers and the people of the city to raise their spirits that they have hope now, but unfortunately for him.. not one smile appeared and no excited shout rose for his speech
In fact, the situation got worse.
As everyone started talking that harboring the Tawi family's descendants was an additional provocation to the Burton family and that their punishment would now be doubled!
The idea of victory never crossed anyone's mind...
just how bad the defeat was, and how ugly the consequences will be...
On that very day, news began to spread around the city that the dispute with the Burton family was due to the stupid son of the Marquess, who had caused problems with Caesar Burton in the past...
He also made matters worse and tried to kill an important person from the Burton family inside the Bradley Military Institution and once more in the middle of the streets of Jura!!
The new also stated that other than this, the Burtons have no other issue with the Rufus family, they only want justice for the repeated provocation.
It was Patriarch Brian who announced that at the cities he captured, but it was unknown who was the one that spread the news among the public and among the members of the army in such a fast and efficient manner
as for its effect on the public, it can be imagined...
*Our family is threatened with extermination because of... the idiot son of the Marquess? Is that it?!*
